**A day before the kidnapping incident...**

Romero was laying on the sofa in the living room when he felt a sudden cool feeling like something wrapping around that made his body feel extremely relaxed. 

It was a feeling that was hard to describe, as it felt like something was rushing into his body and filling him up gradually, making him fall into a daze and become completely unaware of his surroundings. 

This carried on for a while and he realized that at a point, it seemed that what was filling him up began to slow down and he slowly came out of a daze, but just before the mystical feeling he had been experiencing disappeared, he suddenly felt a pricking feeling in his eyes.

He tried to endure the pricking feeling and managed to call out for his sister before everything went black.

He had fainted... Or, at least, that was how it looked on the outside, but for Romero, he was experiencing something different from what an unconscious person should be experiencing. 

A few moments before he fainted, a blue screen popped up in front of him which displayed,

[Blessing Activated]

[Eyes of the Seer(Ex-rank)]

Those had been the letters he had seen before he fainted.

Romero was a young child that had not even clocked ten, but he was very smart for his age, he read a lot and his life's circumstances had made him mature faster than other children his age. 

He had found out that his parents were killed, yet unlike his sister who wouldn't kill anything, Romeri hated the monsters that killed his parents and took them from him, but he made sure not to mention any of this to his sister as he knew that she would be conflicted and worried about him.

He was also an avid reader so he knew what a seer was.

'Wasn't that someone who could see the future?' he wondered immediately after he saw the words, but before he could think any further he had fainted.

Surprisingly, even though he should have fainted on the outside, he was still completely conscious and self-aware, only he couldn't see the outside world and could only see things in his subconscious.

Everywhere was black, yet he could see clearly, and just before he could begin wondering if his subconscious was supposed to look like a little dark room, he felt like something seized his body from all angles and he began to vibrate.

The vibration began at a low frequency and continued rising until he was shaking so much that if someone was looking at him from the outside, they wouldn't be able to see his features because of how much he was shaking.

Suddenly he disappeared in a flash of light to who knows where.

When he reappeared he felt a sick feeling well up in his stomach and he had the urge to throw up due to the chaotic treatment he had just experienced, but that was when he found out that he couldn't move a muscle.

It was at this point he realized that he wasn't in a little dark room any longer, but in a room that reminded him of the ward where his sister had been laying just a week or so ago.

He tried to look around but found out he still couldn't move his body, but strangely, he could sense what was behind him... It was a strange feeling as he couldn't call it sight, but he still knew what was happening within a range of three meters around him.

As he was still confused and trying to figure out what was happening, he realized that, unlike the last time when he had been at the hospital and his sister was the one in bed, this time he was the one being examined by a beautiful woman who looked to be around the age of his sister's friend, Big Sis Teresa, as he used to call her.

The woman in a doctor's overcoat had her hand which was glowing green and was stretching it all across his body like she was searching for something. 

'This is strange?' he thought, as he was very sure that something like this had not happened before. 

'Am I dreaming?' he wondered, but before he could have any more thoughts, all the lights in the room suddenly went off, startling both him and the woman checking on him.

"What's happening?" the words that were the same as his thoughts came out of his mouth, but he knew that he hadn't tried to say it out, yet the words came out of his mouth.

It finally occurred to him that he wasn't in control of his body, which was a pretty scary thought, but for some reason, he didn't lose his calm.

His head was constantly turning left and right and looking around even though he wasn't trying to do all of that... It was obvious that he was nothing more than a spectator in his own body and that was pretty disturbing, but since he couldn't do anything about it, he just sat tight, thinking everything to be nothing more than a weird dream, and he would be lying if he said he didn't want to know where the story was going to especially as it involved him.

The woman in the doctor's overcoat stood up and went to the door to check what was going on while telling him to sit tight in the room and wait for her, to which his body replied affirmatively to.

After receiving his response, the woman left the room and he was left sitting in the room on the couch.

Since he currently didn't have anything to do, his body began to look around the room and his eyes fell on a digital clock that showed the time and date.

'9:33 am'

'22nd of July, year ****' he recited in his head and then suddenly paused.

'22nd July?' he wondered.

'... But today is the 21st?' his childish mind wondered, expecting the time inside his dream to be the same as the time on the outside. 

Of course, that was not how things worked, but this made him realize something. 

His mind suddenly went back to the blue screen he had seen before he passed out that said he had activated the blessing called "Eyes of the Seer".

'Could it be that I can se-...!!!' no matter how young and childish his mind was, it was quickly pitting two and two together when his thoughts were interrupted by a loud, explosive, crashing sound and the wall of the room he was in was blown apart, exposing him to the outside sun. 

The room was filled with dust and all sorts of debris flew all over the place, but luckily none of them came his way as he would not have been able to avoid being injured due to how stunned he was.

Before he could get a hold of himself, which was pretty difficult for someone his age, a big burly man in gray clothing stepped into the room and appeared through the dust, his eyes immediately landing on Romero, and a wicked grin appeared on his face.

"You're coming with me kid," he said with his wicked grin still plastered across his face.

His words alarmed Romero, both the one controlling his body and the one that was spectating the whole event.

"Who are you?" little Romero's voice came out, but it sounded full of fear as the intruder was pretty scary.

"You'll know... Soon," he replied, his smile deepening and he seemingly disappeared at high speed and reappeared behind Romero and smack the back of his neck with smoothness and precision that showed his professionalism in the act of disarming and kidnapping people.

Romero felt everything gradually turning black for the second time in less than an hour on the same day. 

Everything in view slowly faded to black and Romero was left in the darkness once again, but this time, he was alarmed, surprised, and scared of what he had just seen.

If this truly was the future, then did that mean that he would be kidnapped tomorrow if he did nothing to change the future that he had just seen?

'I should tell sister!' he thought but immediately he had that thought, the surroundings brightened up once again and showed the scene of the grey-robed man that was going to kidnap him, fighting with his sister.

A few minutes later, the scene ended, but instead of feeling relieved, there were tears in his eyes and an even greater fear in his heart.

The gray-robed man had won, and he had crushed his sister's heart in the process.

That was the most scary and heartbreaking scene Romero had ever seen in his life, especially as it felt completely real.

Due to seeing such terror, his mind was totally out of it and he didn't notice the important parts of what had just happened.

He was able to see a future and if he wanted to change it, all he had to do was make a thought and this black space would simulate and show him the results of the actions he had in mind.

With this, he could theoretically avoid the worst situation of every future he would ever see, and he should have been able to come up with a good plan to avoid this one as long as he kept thinking up ideas, but it was too much for him. 

After seeing something as trauma-inducing as his sister's heart being crushed, he couldn't think straight enough to realize the importance of this black space, more so, no matter how smart he was as a kid, he was still a kid without enough complex thinking maturity so he simply stayed in a daze until his surroundings faded to white and he woke up back in his own body in the embrace of his sister who was happy he had woken up.

"I'm taking you to the hospital tomorrow," Tisha told Romero, her voice sounding worried, but her words didn't comfort him.

Rather his heart sank deeper into his chest as he remembered what he had seen.

It was obvious that the gray-robed man was after him, so even if he told his sister that they shouldn't go to the hospital, the man would still come looking for him and would kill his sister. 

He was distraught and his childish mind was not developed enough to know that there were many ways to go about this situation, so the idea he settled for was the most innocent and childlike one that would not harm his sister or anybody for that matter.

He would simply let it happen and not change anything. 

At least this way, his sister would be safe and no one would be harmed in the process. He was sure that his sister would be able to save him if she wasn't killed, and even if she wasn't person powerful enough, she could get some help to find him, so just like fate would have it, he simply smed in response to his sister's worry and did not say anything else.
