Transmigrated With A Resolution System

"Nix, did I smack you too hard on the head?" Lank laughed and thought he was merely joking about what he was saying.

Nix pulled on Lank's brown hair playfully, "it would seem that little stunt you pulled is giving you funny thoughts."

Lank begged for his release and when it was granted he pushed back so Nix wasn't at arm's length.

Obsidian shook his head and wondered how these two could be friends.

"I'm serious, and I need to know if you two are in it." He switched glances between the two.

"I for one know that Alex would want to leave, Gia just needs a little push, let's not start with the twins–all they need is the opportunity to present itself," Nix spoke with confidence.

Obsidian glanced over at Lank and raised his brow, "I would love an adventure like we had done the last time..."

Feeling excited, he readily bopped his head and his tail wags in readiness to go through with the plan. "...maybe I could stumble on more creatures, raenz or rumic to devour and get their ability."

His mischievous glint in his eyes was disturbed when he realized the room had fallen silent.

Doing a double-take when he noticed they stared at him with suspicion.

"What did I say wrong?!" He said with a shrug.

Nix shook his head and chose to let that slide, so long Obsidian was in, they were one step closer to getting out successfully.

"Lank?" He tilted his head and wondered what was going on in his friend's head as he looked at his fiddling fingers.

"I... I was just thinking of leaving the comfortability I had gotten used to here." He raised his head guiltily, feeling they would see him as materialistic.

"I had never enjoyed any of these while growing up, nor could I remember the last time I had a good meal like the one the organization provides," He bit down on his bottom lip and let out a curse at how attached he had become.

This was the very place that had allowed him to bond with Gia, they had a bit of relative peace and were nearly jobless, and had tons of free time since there wasn't the provision for classes like the academy.

The whole team was together, this was fairly what he had wanted, with Nix and Obsidian with them, he felt a sense of comfort, but the prospect of leaving to an unknown place different from the academy or the organization?!

Nix could rightly feel what he meant, "Lank, I understand that you are scared of the unknown..."

"I swear it's not that I don't want to go, but I don't want to live on the run," Lank muttered on the last part with uncertainty.

Nix let out a chuckle at the word, he wasn't expecting that sort of response, but after he had heard it boosted his resolve to protect his friends.

"Who says we would be on the run?"

Nix gave a nod of assurance and a smirk plastered on his face.

Lank stared at him with wide eyes as he tried to process the information. He had known how dangerous Nix could be once he was properly triggered.

"Why run when you can be the predator with no restrictions?" He added with a burst of evil laughter.

Obsidian joined in the laughter, "I had wanted to say the same thing, I don't plan to be chow for anyone."

"Do you believe we can scale through this?" He offered his hand in a fist bump.

Lank's frown gradually turned to a bright smile as he made a bump as Obsidian joined in a triangular fist bump.

"Booyah!" Lank finalized as they broke apart.

"Now onto what I wanted to say, it would seem there is no need to hide my abilities with you, Lank," Nix said with a sigh.

He had tried to hide them long enough and had gotten to the breaking point in the arena.

Lank raised a brow, seeing that Obsidian didn't look troubled as he was. "Is there something I was meant to know, well apart from the fact that you have two gifts?!"

Nix winced at the tone, the shock, and disappointment that would flash before his friend's features, "there is one tiny detail..."

"Tiny? Really, Nix?" Obsidian cut in and folded his arms.

He could rightly guess what Nix wanted to say, and that wasn't anything close to being tiny–that was a freaking huge monster!

Lank took a step back and pointed an accusing finger at the two, "so it turns out whatever you're trying to say, I'm the one that's kept in the dark."

Nix facepalmed as he knew where this was leading. Although he had kept it a secret for a good purpose, Obsidian wasn't told rather he had found out himself.

"Hello, Raiken!" Obsidian said in a whisper and waved in the direction of Nix. "I hope you stay in there and try not to scare the shit out of me again."

Lank furrowed his brows at the unexplainable words and gestures of Obsidian. How could he be referring to Nix with another name and specifically staring straight at his chest?

"I am not crazy, I can assure you." Obsidian turned his attention towards Lank with twitching brows for being mistaken.

"You can't get a privilege of seeing his little friend," he stressed on the 'little' by making air quotes.

"He has another friend?!" Lank gasped, hurt by the secrecy of such a friend, not knowing where that would place him if he couldn't be introduced earlier.

"Sid, could you shut the hell up and allow the one in question to answer his question?!" Nix said through gritted teeth and pressed on his knees, his nails digging into them while he tried to maintain his composure.

He had endured enough of back and forth words, the twisted representation of how Obsidian painted them to Lank would only worsen the situation.

Obsidian gulped and made a ziplock movement on his lips and took its key and placed it into his pocket.

Nix raised a brow at the gesture, it was meant to be thrown away and not kept.

Obsidian shrugged at the stare from Nix, he could understand the angle from which Nix was looking at him strangely. He wasn't going to throw the key and be forced to keep up the charade.

Nix clapped his hand once to get Lank's attention.

"Who's Raiken?!". Lank hissed, folding his arms, shifting his lips to the right and his eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Nix cringed at the new feeling he suddenly developed, it felt more like he had cheated and was caught.

Even with his little escapades with the females in his world, never had he experienced such a weird feeling.

He could only blame Raiken and Obsidian for the weird feeling of guilt.

<He wants to know who I am, should I grace him with my presence?> Raiken snickered in Nix's subconscious.

'Risk you destroy this room and alert the others of your existence in their base and lead it to be in connection to me?! Not a chance you overgrown lizard with wings!' Nix snapped.

<How dare you call me such derogatory names, human?!> Raiken roared.

'For someone who is thousands of years old, that's a big word for you.' Nix mocked.

"Ahem!" Lank exaggerated in a loud voice to call on the attention of Nix, he had zoned out.

'He's talking to that beast huh?!' Obsidian deduced in his thoughts, waiting for when Nix would spill the beans.

Shaking his head so he could clear his thoughts for a while, he nervously smiled, feeling a bit awkward about how he was going to place it in a way that wouldn't freak Lank out.

"I might have exaggerated a lot on the little, technically the other secret I have isn't about my ability but more of my summon and friend."

"You admit to having a secret friend," Lank said in disappointment, lowering his head and feeling dejected.

"Who is he?" He managed to mumble.

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to meet that friend of his." Obsidian burst into laughter, it was traumatic enough about the size, but the temperament matched all the tales about such mythical creatures.

Nix shot a glare at Obsidian wondering where that imaginary key of his had been placed.

"What he... I mean I wanted to say that you can't see him now because it would collapse the very structure of this part of the organization." Nix tried to hint at him slowly.

"Let's destroy this place with Raiken, it's going to be on fire!" Obsidian whooped and paused only when Nix shot a deadly glare at him which forced him to sit still and shut up.

"What's he talking about?" Lank hissed, frustrated with the words being hidden. "What the heck is going on, the truth isn't too hard to say, is it?"

"Raiken is a dragon, my tamed dragon among others!" Nix bluntly responded.
