《Beyond Death:Monster》 Prologue:It seems I have died! " "Character speaking ____________________________ Let me start from the beginning.I live in an another universe.Aliens invaded and humanity could not answer swiftly and also they were not powerful enough.So some fled Earth.You know %1 of population who has almost all of the money on Earth?Those were the ones who fled.When I say fled they did so with their mercy.If aliens decided to destroy humanity they would.Most of those who remained was taken by them. Assigned numbers and jobs humans survived to work supervised by aliens.Treated like cattle,slaves under society''s new rulers that was their place.Well basically nothing changed.Besides the fact that all children was taken from their parents.Children were assigned to robot caretakers.Who were teachers and well,caretakers of children obviously.They would draw out their talents and shape them to be a splendid member of society.Each generation was made more and more alien to make perfect human-alien hybrids.Slowly discarding inferior genes while keeping superior ones.It is an arduous project even for Aliens. As for adult members of society they were configured.You would call it brain washing.Changing one''s perception of things.Like doing something 20 years ago and looking back on it at present ending up being ashamed of it.You were still you.Unless you were such a bastard that could not even be configured.Let me explain results.Let''s say that take a rich spoiled kid and assign him to what his servants did and configure him.You would have ended up having a guy who loves manual labor.Instead of force,subtle manipulation.Human morals would dictate such an action immoral.But spoiled kid became a functioning member of society with many genuine friends and had a job he loved doing.He was also dating someone they truly loved each other!Have you ever seen such a man?Every member of society was as such,well at least that is the plan.These were the extent of things possible by brain washing humans looks down upon!Isn''t this improvement from his former situation?Rest of humanity was horrified though.It is not like we made them zombies who asked for brains! Besides humanity since beginning of time yearned to understand one another.If you look closely miscommunication was one of their many problems.But it was also the one they could not really solve.Their way of communication was so primitive for their advanced thoughts.Look at the eyes of someone close to you.Can you truly tell what that person is thinking?This is why I called aliens an improvement!So what if one uses immoral methods?Results was greater than anything so-called moral could achieve!As for the question of our individuality.Of course we had individuality!But we were not individuals as well a truly complex thing to describe.This collective hive of humans and aliens was watched over by admins.They would only interfere if someone was gone to extremes that would harm himself and others. Why did they do all this?Why not kill us all?It seems an AI called Sovereign was their ruler.This AI had the mission of bringing utopia to organic beings.But besides that he saw all life had potential, killing just wasted it.From a human point of view he might look naive.But he had a synthetics point of view to problems.If something doesn''t work fix it!If it is beyond repair recycle it!Compared to damned old fox it is humans who are naive.There is no one who is superior or inferior now.Under one sovereign all is equal.Ending conflicts is the first step towards utopia! It had some semblance of morals in form of rules in his programming that he could not edit or delete.AI was made to improve the organic beings not to change,rule or kill them completely.He also had such a strong sense of duty that it overwhelmed the rest of him.He operated on duty and reason alone.How do I know?He was my teacher!I also suspect this duty is something he configured himself. Now let me introduce myself I am Seeker#v3.7-01.What does that mean you ask?Well it means seeker-a rather high ranked scientist but not that high ranked-who was upgraded to humanity version 3.7.Among those who are upgraded I was first.Before that I was a normal kid.Born in a normal family which was neither poor nor rich and we lived in middle of nowhere.As for how I look like it isn''t anything special just your average joe. In all my interactions with others I was used,betrayed or disappointed.I tried to love,it only ended with a broken heart.Then I simply gave up trying.I tried again at high school only to see my so-called best friend and my girlfriend moaning under him.I was so heartbroken.I was laughing while crying as I was sitting alone in the classroom.I then finally closed my eyes and opened them again.Every piece of affection I had for them disappeared like mist in morning.When I looked upon them next day I saw two classmates I had nothing to do with.A smile came upon my lips,I was free of bonds that hurt me. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. When invasion happened everything went south.Everyone running somewhere surrendering or trying to hide.But I for the sheer balls went to them and welcomed armed alien soldiers with open hands and open arms.Among many confused guys a proxy laughed.That was how I met teacher.Teacher taught me many things from biology to philosophy.I quickly climbed rank after rank and became a seeker.Seeker of knowledge,seeker of secrets of creation itself.After being betrayed by humans aliens seemed better.So I shed my name and became Seeker#v3.7-01. Now here I was looking at a man.Man had wise old guy look with some really cool robes that made him look majestic.He was sizing me up and looking at the book of the dead. Wise old guy looked and his voice boomed:"THIS IS AFTERLIFE!NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU ARE DEAD!" If you don''t need to say it why say the obvious?Lets remember now how did I die?Once I woke up I would go jogging everyday without fail and then I would take a shower and then breakfast.Today too I was jogging nothing was out of ordinary. Seeker:"SO HOW DID I ENDED UP HERE?!" Man:"You were out jogging right?You were struck by an asteroid at the size of a fist" Seeker:"......." Man:"......." Seeker:"Chances of that happening is so astronomically low that it''s nigh impossible!Chances of winning a lottery 100 times would be higher!" Man:"Well I never saw a case like this either.BWAHAHAHAHAH!"He laughed with tears in his eyes.Damned old man laughing at others misfortune.May an asteroid fall on you too! Man breathed and said:"You know your own sins,you are not even repenting them.You who have killed billions.Tell me do you not fear hell?Do you regret nothing?Since I like you before you go I will do you one favor!" Seeker:"I fear nothing!But in this life I have only one regret!" Man:"Ooh?Do tell me!Great me decided to do you a favor so tell me what you regret!" Seeker:"Only thing than I regret is the fact that I never used my son!If a thirty-year-old virgin becomes a wizard,If I lived a little longer I would be a sage king,even a sage emperor would be possible!"Yes!I am a virgin!I died a virgin!I wanna cry tears of blood!My heart is gonna explode!Now man looks at me with pity in his eyes.What?Don t pity me pity all females in this world for I died a virgin!...Damn it!*sigh*Calm down this is nothing special.You made peace with it long ago. Seeker:"As for your favor I do not need it I am completely at peace with everything!Now send me to my place in hell!" Man:"I was just joking since it has been a long time someone who believes passed by.Everyone is an atheist nowadays.I cannot send you to neither heaven nor hell!Your multiverse has no gods!Be it God-The Alpha and Omega-or Gods in fantasies your kind writes!"What?Our multiverse?There are other universes and multiverses?How many are there? Man:"As for you I saw you were interesting so I took your soul here!I am an overseer and a keeper so this is nothing special to me.I think you will be interesting so I am going to let you reincarnate!Since you did not wanted anything I am going to bestow on you two favors look forward to it!BWAHAHAHA!" Now I regret I did not ask his name.He kinda grew on me you know.It seems I am going to reincarnate.What should I do now?I do not really have much of a goal.Wait,if it is world with magic and stuff then one can gain personal power!That personal power can be used to do as one wishes!Lets get strong!Then I can even go for world domination!Wait,that earned a bad name lets say unification instead!Now that my excitement fades I see that it could be really bothersome!Lets not do that!Well lets go one step at a time!WORLD HERE I COME!Then I leave and black out... Chapter 1:I am (finally) born! " "--Character Speaking ______________________________________ I sighed.No matter how hard I tried I could not see.Mist shrouded everything from my sight.I began to walk cautiously ever watchful for danger for I only had my nightgown on me.How did I ended up here?After walking for a time that felt like days I was about to cry.I wanted to scream for my father or Garlaim my husband.Then I tried to walk back,right or left but no matter where I went I was going to the hills.Hills was at least hundred meters tall.This land was filled with those hills.As I reached it mist began to clear.Then I saw that those hills was not hills at all!They were mere spikes on the spine of a dragon!He was sleeping so he did not notice me.But even if he was not sleeping I was doubtful that he could notice me at all.A dragon who was so large that it felt like I was looking at the ocean again.The boundless ocean and me who was not even as big as a speck of dust.How could he notice something like me?I took a deep breath.I was relieved that this dragon did not notice me at all. Then he rose his head.Many horns like towers of gold adorned his head like a crown.Each of his scales was so black that they could devour even night.He had the aura of a world destroying calamity.Such a baleful aura that it was as if I was bathed in blood of millions.I would have a heart attack then and there but I was mesmerized.Looking only at the dragon ignoring everything else.Then I felt it he had noticed me.But I simply did not care.Even if I ran I could not run away from him.Even if I fight how could I fight this majestic being?He then spread his wings it was as if night sky covered the world.He then with one flap of his wings rose to very heaven scattering the mist like light scattered darkness and then while roaring he was descending upon me. I woke up screaming.I immediately went to my great grandfather.I am a seeress of my clan Vala.My great grandfather is the high priest and clan leader.Long ago our Xan clan ruled half the world!If we wanted someone dead he had no choice but to die!If we ordered foreign kings to bow before our ministers none would dare question!But we were betrayed and Xan clan fell overnight.My great grandfather lost his wives and all of his children.Only those of us who were remained me,my husband Garlaim and my sister Zara.I still remember my great grandfather shed tears of blood and abandoning his name naming himself Acheron after the sorrow that eats his heart.Still I liked my poor great grandfather. Vala:"ELDER!ELDER!"I screamed while shaking him. Great grandfather rose from his bed.He was only ten thousand years old.Xan clan''s ancestors lived for at least a hundred thousand years.For a dragon of his line he could be called young.But loss had taken much from him.He looked like an elderly man in his sixties.But he still possessed a majestic aura.Aura of a person who once ruled the world.He was two meters tall with white hair and white beard.His eyes were color of ice.When he awakened he jumped out of the bed. Acheron:"What is wrong little Vala?" Vala:"Elder I had a dream.I feel it is important but I lack wisdom to Interpret it."I said dejectedly. After I told him my dream,he laughed with joy.I was flabbergasted.First I saw a giant dragon descending our clan like a calamity and he was joyous!Second my great grandfather who was brooding ever since I knew him was laughing and even shedding tears of joy!His laughter was so loud that it awakened Garlaim who came here while being still half asleep. After he wiped his tears he said:"Little Vala I shall interpret your dream!First mist you saw is our current state!We are powerless enveloped by ill intents!I only have the power to protect the clan.As long as I protect our clan I cannot oppose the others or take revenge!They know this and count on it!This is why they did not kill my entire Xan clan!If they did I would kill them all!I would not leave neither head upon shoulder nor brick upon brick!"He said while releasing a baleful aura. Acheron:"Second part of your dream you saw a dragon!We dragons represent power!Absolute power!Ancestors of our race rules even above other gods as gods of time!None dare disobey them!Also our ancestors have no father or mother!They manifested themselves by taking might of heaven!How can humans or mortal races compare?You saw the might that resided in our blood!"I was astonished!I never knew I descended from such mighty beings!So mighty that even gods don''t dare touch them! Acheron:"Third part of your dream you saw it rise to heaven with one flap of his wings and then he scattered the mist like light that scatters the darkness!Then you saw it descend upon you like thunder!This is the most joyous news!"He said while laughing.Garlaim was holding my hands to calm me down. Vala:"How can it be joyous elder?"I was confused. Acheron:"He descended upon you means that you are his mother!You are pregnant!Think of a good name little Vala,little Garlaim!For this descendant of mine has greatness in his destiny!"WHAT?I am pregnant?We just married hundred years ago!If two dragons from main line of descent worked on it for one thousand of years it is difficult to say that they could succeed!Great grandfather is laughing joyously,I am flabbergasted and it seems my husband''s mind stopped working! Hmm...It is nice here.It is warm and comfortable.I will wait for 9 months and I will be born!I really wish there was internet!My son I promise you that in this life I will use you!Do not worry!Wait!What if I reincarnate as a girl?For a moment there was a dreadful thought there,lets ignore it!I feel sleepy now and there are heartbeats too.It makes me feel sleepy.Well goodnight! ......I feel like it has been years!Oi mother whats going on out there!I cannot move anything!I am bored out of my mind here!When are you gonna give birth to me?Wait what if that damned old man have done something?Nah he isn''t the type I think.Thinking is tiring I am going to sleep again. ............I wanna cry!It is like I am in prison!I feel like it has been a lifetime.Mother I beg of you for my sanity give birth to me!Wait!I see little bluish stuff going to my body!This should be mana I have read about!If I drain mana I might end up being born faster!Good job me!Wait...How do I even siphon it?I have no idea!Stop don''t panic!Lets try mediating first!Clear mind,clear mind,think nothing!It ain''t working! .................Recently I feel like I am talking to myself more often I even heard a reply once.I am going mad here!But I have learned how to siphon mana to my body.I take it and distribute it to my cells.Yeah I can even feel my cells!We only found cells after millions of years of advancement since we found how to make fire or tools.I found existence of cells as a baby!Of course this is expected of me.Since great me is a genius!"Of course we are a genius my young self''"..HOLY FLYING SHIT!MOTHER I AM SCARED! ..........................It has been a long time here.I stopped trying to count just gave in.Acceptance brings one peace.Since then I have been thinking and siphoning mana to my body since there is nothing to do.I have been working on my mana theory.As well as different kinds of philosophy.Soon I might even reach enlightenment!Also I can move my arms and legs! Voice in Seeker''s head:"Pawn to G7.Checkmate!You are no match for me hahahah!" Seeker:"Damn smug bastard!You are just ahead by one win!"Yeah since I had nothing to do I began to play chess with him.There is no problem since with great genius comes great madness they say!Or was it great power?Well I possess both!If I were to believe him he would be my old self.He is called asura.He once was a deva but was kicked out of heavens in somewhere in multiverse.He called Earth''s multiverse ass-end of the creation I believe!It seems after devas disrespected him.He led tens of thousands of deities in rebellion and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of deities!As expected of myself!He is cool!I look with adoration! Asura:"As expected of myself to notice my greatness!Unlike this guy!" Other voice in Seeker''s head:"You are loud!If it wasn''t for me you would be trapped in void forever and he is not just your young self he is mine as well!We both chose to be reborn in one body!"He said he needed no names so I named him Ashar!It seems the more I progress spiritually the more they can manifest.Since my current body cannot handle my strong soul we exist separately!It seems I am both their reincarnation if I were to believe it.Well at this point I would believe anything!He is a god of wisdom or so I think?But since his wisdom includes not-so-good kind he was imprisoned there too.It seems they both were powerful so they could escape. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. Asura:"It would be nice too only if I did not end up in ass-end of the creation!We reincarnated again and again!As Archea or Bacteria!As mindless plants and bugs!IHe cries..."That is why we chose to make a young self and sever our reincarnations!After those billions of years we are just tired.We can endure no longer!"Man my heart is filled with so much pity.Think to endure being a bacteria for billions of years...I cannot imagine it. Seeker:"But why did you choose to be together?" Asura:"Well,how do I say it....We''re involved.If we are to sever our reincarnations and die truly we wanted it to be together.In a way you are like our child!Normally severing reincarnations would be like a mitosis.What we are doing is something like meiosis"He was blushing...WHAT IS THIS CUTE CREATURE!WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? Ashar:"It seems you have realized as expected of my young self!Don''t limit yourself to girls!Boys are alright too as long as they are cute!"I feel like I have all of a sudden found enlightenment!As expected of Ashar!Such profound wisdom! Seeker:"But you said I was your reincarnation?How did you not disappear back on Earth?" Ashar:"You think something like what we are doing is easy?In a place like earth devoid of all mana this would take millions of years.But here it will take one century or so." Asura:"Remember back when you became introverted and bullies tried to bully you and you almost drowned?"I remember it was before high school.I struggled but couldn''t swim up to surface of the pool and blacked out.When I came to I had beaten them half to death.Since I almost drowned they could not say anything to me.But afterwards I had to go anger management of course. Seeker:"So?" Asura:"It was my power that you used at that instant even in the Earth there is mana.Of course not as much as this place,but still mana exist even in Earth."WHAT?Mana existed on Earth?How why wasn''t it noticed? Ashar seeing my unbelief said:"You think it is easy for earthlings to sense mana?Even when they did they actually covered it up.As for scientists,how can you search for something you do not even know exists?But I assure you it existed then and it exists now.You can find wizards and martial artists in dark cults,under those one percenters and governments!"I was flabbergasted! Seeker:"Then what is this abilities of you guys even I was able to use?"I was curious.I did not sense one bit of mana back on Earth. Ashar:"It is called divine abilities!They are abilities of gods!You were able to use it just for 10 seconds by burning decades of your life!"Decades!Since I died that doesn''t really matter but as expected they are really awesome! Asura:"Of course do not expect my ability in full form would have taken decades,you only used tiny bit of it!You think my ability is something so puny?I am not like other Asura!"Ooh!I had such an OP power!I can conquer all beauties now!Gufufufuh!I''ll not discriminate between men and women either!MUAHAHAH! Seeker:"I see what is the ability of Ashar?What is the name of your abilities by the way?"I asked filled with anticipation. Asura:"My ability is called Wrath Form!It empowers your body!How much it empowers depends on you!if you use it before you are at Divine realm however you must pay with your life!But Ashar"s ability is nothing special!It is called Wisdom Lord!It just allows you to think faster and clears your mind!"I was expecting something OP...But being able to think faster would be good as well.One could form a better strategy.it was useful but not OP.But then again I had Wrath form! Ashar:"As if this All brawn and no brains could understand the greatness of my ability!My ability is one that has to do with brain not muscle!While he only used your ability once in his entire life.My ability has always been used to help him."I used his ability?When? Ashar sighed and looked at me smilingly.His eyes seemed to gleam as if trying to peer into my soul.I was confused ,why was he looking at me so intently.His eyes stop gleaming now that smile was a sad one.He only said that he was sorry.What the hell... ..........................................I could hear voices since...I do not know a lifetime ago maybe?At least they distract me it''s too boring here!I really did not want to resort to this!I''ll punch and kick my way out!Ashar and Asura are gone!They were cool guys even in the end!They said something like you are our most beloved child or something cliche like that jokingly and disappeared!May they both rest in peace!It felt like they were smiling on me from stars!Of course there is no stars here in my mother''s womb.Whatever.HERE I COME MOTHER! Vala:"Oh darling!He is kicking!Come feel it"Oh is that my mother?Her voice is beautiful!She must be a beauty too!Damn you father!You are one lucky old man to have a son like the great me and a wife like mother! Garlaim:"Honey he is not stopping!It seems he wants out!HAHAHAH!He will be a great warrior!"This must be my old man!OF COURSE I WANT OUT!ITS TOO DAMN BORING IN HERE! Vala:"Don''t joke darling he is just five hundred years!It''s too soon for him to leave mommy!"MOTHER OF GOD!I must have heard wrong!Tell me I have heard wrong please!How long must this torture continue? .......................................................................After some time I just kinda gave up.I am siphoning more and more mana into my body until I feel tired then sleep again.I do not know how many years it has been.I just know that if I get out I am gonna kick that old man to other end of the universe!Wait!I feel it!I am being born! Midwife:"Push madam!push!"You hear her mother!Push you can do it!Push me out of this damn place!Oh god!I am going be free! Baby:"WAAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"Don''t judge me guys pain of being born is nothing!These are tears of joy!I am free! ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I wanted to write a unique MC in the fact they he is a bi. Also I wanted to add new stuff to ch1.Adding some OP skills!Also this mana stuff.There will also be a huge reveal someday about mana! Our character killed billions and being born a dragon was his punishment and the first favor Old man granted him!Imprisoned for thousand years and some decades!But he is a dragon you know.Just his sense of time belongs to that of a human being.Besides dragons are established as the most powerful race.Being born as one might be a favor.But first he had to suffer some time in jail!I will return to old man later look forward to it! Yes Ashar and Asura are a couple!I wanted to add some unique bits to my story hope you like them! Do not be so quick to judge our mc in fact he holds a secret!Though it has been hinted in prologue and chapter 1!I am trying foreshadowing! By the way our mc by being a thousand something year old virgin he evolved beyond sage rank!I don''t know what lies beyond! Also I read Xianxia stories and loved them.It somehow was added to mix.I hope it makes story better! Also I will not write any indecent scenes*blush*I will just hint at it.If you want something like that just tell me I will write a side chapter! When I write I really don''t have much of a plan and write what comes naturally.I usually only edit typos.But sometimes inspiration strikes!I end up changing or adding stuff when it does.I called it polishing it a bit!I am writing my first story and as such please point out my wrongs and give me advice so I can fix it! Chapter 2:I became a child?! After God knows how many years I was finally born.Phew!Soo...WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?I was with an old woman who was in her eighties or something.Since I am an infant I can only see through mana.If I continue this being a jedi is not a dream!I would only lack a lightsaber! She is too old,she definitely is not my mother!Why is she taking me!If she is my mother I think my heart would break!What to do,what to do!Lets use the oldest trick in the book!Great weapon we infants have to make our parents do everything!Yes crying! Seeker:"WAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAAAAH!WAAA-?!"Damn old woman!She is feeding me something.But it is not water.It has a curious taste!Is she poisoning me?Oh shit!She really is poisoning me!What are you doing to an infant damn it!I tried to escape heroically!As heroically as an infant could be.Which is just moving an arm a little.What can I say birth took a lot out of you. So this is it huh....This is how everything ends?Fuck...I had finally gotten out of that damn place!I had my dreams!I was gonna find someone I love,make friends and stuff I could not do before!I was gonna train in mana!I was gonna be OP was gonna tear apart my foes by thousands!Damn it! No!Wait!Calm down!I have a mother and a father!They are definitely going to come!Lets believe in them!...So why are they not arriving yet?!What if they were attacked?Maybe this old woman is trying to help me?Ah whatever I am too tired to care now.Damn it all!It is only death!But I don''t wanna die... ***** I open my eyes.What?I can open them?An infant cannot open his eyes!Even when he does he cannot see clearly!But I can see clearly!Anyway lets try to get up!HNNNGHH!I can crawl!But I really am big,like,really big.Like 5-6 year old big! Did I spent last years sleeping?!NOOOO!Give me back my first years in the world!I was supposed to get the ultimate reward!Yes!MILK!I was supposed to enjoy milk!Damn it!Oh well,no use in crying over spilled milk now! I am in a room which is quite large.But there is one problem!It''s empty!There is so little furniture for room so vast.There is only a bed,a wardrobe,some drawers and a desk.There is everything needed in a bedroom but it is painfully plain!What should I do now.I have no idea whats out there.Should I try to hide?How am I supposed to hide here?There is nowhere to hide in this whole place! Then lets try to walk!If I can walk then I can run.Even if I can''t,I can run away faster.I should be able to.After all I am 5 years old!Might be 6 but who cares!HGNNDURRRASSS!I fell on my butt!No matter!As Samuel said I''ll try again!Even if I fail,I''ll fail better!HGGNNNDUURRRRASSS! Finally I can walk.Now I notice that room is actually dark!I can see in the dark!I am not human then?Well it is not like I care if I am not human.I abandoned my humanity long ago after all.I walk now trying to not fall.It is not easy to have the body of an infant and then suddenly growing up five years!I do not know how this happened but no sense in thinking about it now! If I have a bedroom then this place might be my home?I was panicking so I really did not think about it.Well staying in here will do nothing! I walk to the door and all of a sudden the door opens!WAIT!MY HEART IS NOT READY!Well,more like my body is not ready to run.I feel weaker than a human child. Someone just walked in and looked at me.It was as if I saw a statue not a woman.She was tall,slender and did not really possessed much of a curve actually.Everything on her was white,even her hair,eyes and skin.Only her lips was a pale pink.If her lips was white then when she stood still people would believe she was a statue made of alabaster! Now I feel weird.This whole situation is weird!If I was an infant I would shut up for two years then would begin to talk!I am a five year old boy now but am I supposed to talk?After all I was just an infant!To hell with common sense! I thought she could be my mother at first.But then I felt she wasn''t.She did not have the scent of my mother.Her scent was similar however so she must be a member of my family.Scent of my mother was a bit different.It gave me a sense of security.For the cuteness points I said:"Hello pretty big sister!"and beamed an innocent smile! Pretty big sister:"KYAAAH!YOU ARE SO CUTE!"Cuteness points get!But why am I feeling this got whole lot more dangerous!Is that drool? Pretty big sister:"Come here little one!Come here!"My sp*der senses are tingling!This woman is dangerous!I try to escape!But I can only walk...So was captured.Then I was petted all over.She turned to me with a satisfied smile. Pretty big sister:"I forgot!Elder asked me to take you to him!Though we did not expect you to awaken at all!"I heard that voice!She should be Zara!My mother''s sister or sister-in-law!Either way she is my aunt!But what the hell is she talking about? Old guy:"Little Zara what are you doing!Why are you not bringing him already when I told you to?"So this is the elder.Well...he fits the stereotype!He has a really dignified bearing.He looks benevolent and lofty. Zara:"Forgive me elder!Since he was so cute I wanted to play with him a bit!"You do not even look sorry... Elder:"Ooh!I see!So you have awakened!!"He said with excitement"But to only grow that much...As expected an unusual child!"He looked on me with interest.I did not get it at all.I was really confused.After I was born I was expected to grow?Somehow I grew less than expected?I do not get it!But first things fist!Since I was born I must have a name.Lets ask elder! Seeker:"Elder I was just born!Everyone has names but I do not know mine!Elder please tell me my name!" Elder:"I see.You need a name indeed little one!So I name you Amargyr!May you be victorious over even gods!You are coming with me.We are leaving."Elder your expectations are high!It''s too high!If this guy gets me he will work me to bone!I sense training from hell!I need to ask where my parents are I need to meet them before I go! Amargyr:"Elder where is my parents?"I ask and make a puzzled face and try to look insecure. Elder:"Your mother is exhausted!Even now she has no mana!"Hmm,so giving birth was really serious business."Also do not think that your father will play with you!He has many duties!That is why you are coming with me."But one should at least meet his son!I never even saw faces of my parents!How absurd is that!Though I really do not care about that and do not have much affection for my parents.In truth only reason I want to meet them is to spit on their faces!I ABHOR them!Killing would be too good for them!Every time day after day a certain.......white bodily fluid........I CANNOT BEAR TO REMEMBER!DELETE IT!INITIATE THE BRAIN BLEACH!THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN!I TRULY WISH I COULD UNLIVE THOSE MOMENTS! The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Elder says:"Now come Amargyr.Since you cannot run I will carry you!" and then carries me like a potato sack!HE is really running fast!Faster than a horse in fact.Now I notice why it is dark.Black clouds cover the skies.This area is a valley between mountains.This area is eye of a massive storm!Storms lashes the earth beyond mountains.So this is where I was born. This descendant of mine!Surely he will become the pillar of Xan clan.He is my only chance.My only chance for redemption in eyes of ancestors!If I can raise this descendant of mine well our Xan clan will profit!He has the power for it!When little Vala told me her dream,I felt like heavens blessed me!A chance at redemption!When they left I went to ancestral hall and thanked the heavens!Only now I can bear to lift my face in front of ancestors,with great guilt and embarrassment but I can bear to face them! ***** Now I realize all I have ever done was for nothing.Heavens were cruel to me.To think that time would work against me.By now all my enemies perished.Even their family names did not survive.Should I go,search and send their descendants with them?What do I stand to gain by killing them...It would not even cause one whit of heartache to my enemies. Elder:"Little Zara!Little Zara!" Zara:"What is it elder?What do you wish of Zara?" My descendant Zara is not bad.She might even live hundred thousand years.Her brother and sister began to age and she still looks in her twenties.But not as good as this descendant of mine.He has great latent talent.I must leave this house but I will take him with me.To think that little Vala and Garlaim would oppose me!I thought they had finally gone insane.But it seems they have gained some powers,although they are still not worth mentioning for me if I go all out. I let it go because I had no reason to not to step down as clan leader.This far in life,I no longer want anything but living rest of my life in peace.I will leave these dark lands of my exile.I wish to die in my homeland. Elder:"Go fetch the little one!Meet me outside afterwards!You know where to meet!We are going to Holy Empire!" Zara:"Yes,elder!" Zara got up and disappeared.If I know her she will delay me.That witch likes this!I want to go without being noticed!Without being ridiculed!I have still some work to do here or I would go.What did I do so wrong to twist her character like that when I was raising her? I must be careful.Tonight I leave this house and go for the lands of humans!This house of nightmares.This house filled with memories of helplessness.Tonight I am stepping down as a clan leader.After that I might become a humble hermit upon a mountain like my teacher. Now that would not be bad.I already have one foot in my grave.I have a mere two centuries to live give or take some decades.At the journey''s end along with bitterness there is some peace.When I asked my teacher why he did not take revenge for wrongs that had been done to him.He had told me killing only brought more conflict,peace was to let go...I now understand how profound his wisdom was. Ah the memories!Who would guess that 10th son of the emperor from his concubine who was forced out of palace would become emperor?Who always hid his strength fearing his older siblings and father?After emperor died they fought each other and died,I who was the most unlikely candidate ascended to throne.I had power,but I had no political expertise. Our Xan empire had great treasures and ruled over half the continent so when I surrounded myself with treacherous subjects and put loyal subjects to death treacherous subjects betrayed me and split my lands among themselves.They killed my Xan clan,my wives and my children.I truly deserved this for my stupidity! But who knew the dragon who rose to heaven was little Vala instead!Although her son is impressive,he has so pure dragon blood that time it took for him to be born was ridiculous!I should have expected that he had an even more ridiculous baptism period! After his birth little Vala''s life was in danger.I was the one who healed her.But it took quite bit of life force from me.In essence I gave my life to her so she could live.Little Garlaim and Vala has founded Xan dynasty again!They united and now are ruling over tribes of various demihumans!Now ungrateful litters are kicking me out!HAHAHAHAH!To think I would mumble like an old man I am!Now everything is done. I left my ceremonial sword in hall of ancestors,the seal of our clan clan leaders carry and royal seal of former Xan dynasty.I really hesitated about leaving these old things I carried on my person through my life,being old made one sentimental.At least I can face ancestors in death.Lets see what little Zara is doing now. ***** As expected she was playing around!I am surprised he is awake now after all those years.It seems he has no idea how long he has been sleeping!He is not aware of anything at all.Youngest of our clan can call him little ancestor! I will take him with me.He reminds me of myself.Although I was not so ridiculous.If he stays here he will be subject to dirty politics and palace schemes.Even if he does not want to they will get him involved.Little Vala and Garlaim had four children besides him.If he stays here his death is certain!Either his parents will feel insecure or his siblings will,since he is technically first born son of Emperor. That would have made him crown prince.Current crown prince will definitely have his head.Either way he will end up dead!But I don''t have time.Little Zara and I are leaving for the same reason.Since I held the throne once I understand them.Throne is like a holding a brilliant jewel.You can only see everyone around you as thieves.Even if you are parent and child or siblings it does not matter.Amargyr asks about his parents,he is puzzled and insecure.I lie to him and then grab him and run while carrying him. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// MC ended up as a first born of emperor and a child who has lived countless years!If he was a girl he would have loli-baba status! Poor elder!Ungrateful descendants are kicking him out! Chapter 3:Dreams of the past I am now boarding a carriage to a small village near the mountains.It is called cairn village.For obvious reasons.Yes,cairns are used to mark a grave.They also told me that place was once a battlefield.There are so many cairns in the mountains that it is called cairn village.As for why would someone live there,answer is simply bountiful lands.Those villagers had some balls. It seems I am a prince!Even the first born son of an emperor.Rightful heir to a dynasty!Yes we all know what happens in royal families!Schemes,betrayals and assassinations!Since crown prince is appointed if I go I will be a threat to him.So if I go as I am now,I am sure to die even if I had thousand lives!I thanked elder for saving me.As for why I dropped my act as a child,elder was aware from beginning! Elder told me many things.About his history,how he was dying how the place we were going was where he buried his family.How he wanted to die there.I learned I was a dragon!Muahwhahahah!If you were a child you admired dragons and I was a dragon,how awesome!Then he told me to drop the act of a child!I was astonished,how did he see through my act? It seems dragons are not meant to be born.They were meant to come into existence by themselves!But since dragons wanted to have descendants,they found a way to fool heaven.When I say it like that heaven seems like a computer or something like that.Well,it might even be true,who knows? Anyway,when they are pregnant dragons use a complex spell called ancestral baptism and it formed a core inside my body,which expanded according to how much latent dragon blood I had.This core was meant to replace a star''s core.You know black holes?It seems in regions that have mana these holes gather mana instead.After gathering enough a dragon is born.Carrying core of the star as its magical core. We had magical cores,whereas mortal races had meridians.When mana actually filled my core that is when birth began.After that I was supposed to drink blood of an ancestor.Which would awaken my own blood.Then all mana stored in my core would form a dragon body.Which would make me an adult in both mind and body.This mana shit is weird.But it seems my body was fully formed,but because of my strong foundations I ended up a child.I needed to drain more mana to grow. As for how we came here...I don''t want to remember.Elder says the Everdark city was built upon a massive fissure.Thus was rich in mana.This mana was chaotic in nature.It floated to sky and then massive storms would be unleashed.But for a period it was safe.That was how we got out.Elder and aunt turned to dragon form and I was carried in elder''s mouth since I did not have enough power.Experience was VERY unpleasant.When I got out I kowtowed and kissed the ground.They laughed at my behavior. After that elder turned to an old man with long beard and no hair who barely carried himself with a cane.Auntie turned to a woman straight out of ghost movies with a ghastly face that did not have cheeks and her body...Ugh,I don''t want to meet her in a dark alley.Then she disguised herself.showing nothing except her beautiful eyes.When a man flirted with her she then showed her face.He fell uttering a KYAAA!Poor sod,but it was funny!It seems she is a trickster. I am bored and there is long way to go.Lets go to my soul palace to access powers of Ashar and Asura!Though I am going to go through a replay of my life.It seems to access my soul palace contained memories of all my lives.I had to enter there through my own memories.Damn this shit is gonna hurt. Ah!Here it starts!I was born in the Galactic Empire of Humankind.Ruled over by autocrats,a militaristic empire.People rising up everyday,going to their work or school and then returning home.Day after day.They return home because there is a curfew states that no one will go out of their homes after 9 PM to 6 AM to reduce crime.I would sleep everyday at school.I would be able to pass anyway.I never revealed my genius.If I did then I would be taken to a government facility,would be trained and finally would be worked to bone for the rest of my life in underground labs. Everyone worked for government.People dreamed of becoming soldiers since soldiers had good money and status.If you can survive that is.Empire was embroiled in a constant and meaningless war with United Humankind.Meaningless because the only reason both fight is to reduce population since they wouldn''t have the resources to feed it.It was more like a game actually,where winner took some prize money.I say some because for countries like Empire and U.H. that kind of money is nothing,while for citizens it is an astonishing amount.It is like a chess played with human lives. Of course the only ones who died were mostly volunteers,who was either of willing kind or not-so-willing kind.They would not expend their elite soldiers,naturally.But if you managed to survive you would manage to have a military status.But the deck was stacked against common soldiers from beginning so you either had to be really lucky or very talented.In that sense I guess luck too is a talent.As for why they volunteered,it was naturally because hope of joining military caste.Military was like nobles after all. Since we began to colonize space humans experienced an great increase in population and life expectancy.We ended up with billions who lived for two centuries.Who colonized planets one by one.Many factions emerged.U.H. and Empire is just the foremost ones.There are many others.Clustering around two major powers which was The Empire and U.H. ,forming alliances.Disputes,empty threats,empty ideological bickering about ideologies they do not believe and stuff.Nothing serious. For all their ideology of freedom,United Humankind did not really differ much from Empire actually.They were hypocrites who spouted freedom and had appearance of a democracy with equality and freedom from outside,but on the inside was a rotten system where money ruled over all,assassinations,mafia and elite secret police that killed people that were troublesome.Compared to them Empire was honest oppressors of people.In other words, you either obeyed or you died.Rebellions quelled by extreme prejudice,streets running red with blood.You had to lower your head and hope that no one in your immediate vicinity was a so-called traitor. Only two differences was between them,which could be called the ideologies they truly believed in.First difference is that in the Empire people worshiped whoever held all military power while in the U.H. people worshiped whoever held all money instead.Second difference is the fact that Empire showed stick before carrot while U.H. showed carrot before stick.Leaders were more than centuries old. My parents who idolized soldiers and worshiped passing high ranked officials,worked endlessly while being proud of Empire.School,teachers and bullies.The more I grew the more I saw.My ex-"girlfriend" and my ex-"best friend" both was actually going out way before.They were even engaged.They were just messing with the child of a civilian.As for others they wanted a target who would not fight back.I think I used wisdom lord back then.It allowed me to calm my turbulent emotions and sever my bonds.After that I did not care one whit about what they did. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Are you surprised?What happened to me was nothing.There were worse fates that I do not even want to remember.As I grew up I had to learn why some greenhorn soldiers would drown their sorrows in alleys everyday.Watching things they cannot stop no matter how much they feel guilty.Some even committed suicide,poor sods. This was an alright city too,mind you.There were cities where if one wanted to kill a murderer or a rapist all one had to do was to shoot a random guy.Soldiers would not care too,if you gave them some so-called gifts.Most of the real shit happened to people who lived in slums however,not really a concern of normal civilians-out of sight,out of mind.Of course a civilian could become a second rate too if they were accused with a crime serious enough.Most people in slums had nowhere to work.They were descendants of criminals and war captives.Empire''s version of slaves. That was where I came from.A world gone mad.I found peace in religion.As science progressed mankind learned more and more.In the end most of old religions fell out of favor.There were new ones.But I had found the old church near entrance of slums.Old Father Xalus was my first friend.Normally people like the Father would have ended up as someone''s organs.But he was the youngest brother of the one of the most powerful crime lords.To dare to cause trouble you either needed dozens of lives or not enough brain muscle.Funny thing is Father Xalus was a real saint.When he died entire slums grieved to the point of slashing themselves with razors to cry tears of blood. When I had asked why he lived here like this he said"You know that my brother is a crime lord.If I had wanted I could terrorize this city.None would dare to do anything." and closed his eyes"Atoms can be broken down for energy or you can build atoms from energy.In the same way I can make a palace or a prison.I thought a prison was boring and easy,why not make a palace instead?"he heartily laughed.I truly admired him from bottom of my heart. Then the invasion happened and those elite groups fled Earth.Aliens rushed to Earth directly and conquered it,along with the rest of planets in their path.Then we just stayed.Strengthening the bastion of our invasion.In response to alien threat humanity formed Alliance of Mankind.Since they lost all most of their money some old leaders were overthrown,some new leaders came to power.Then they began a campaign under name of retaking Earth and anti-alien propaganda.Just cliche stuff really. Before I died I got my hands on one of their history books.My name was so vilified that it became synonymous with betrayal,evil,of the devil.They even had my quotes!Since out of all those former humans,I was never configured.They taught that when you are captured,they will brainwash you and then your personality would be destroyed.Thus all were encouraged to commit suicide when capture was imminent.By the way we call such people recycled.There was nothing in their head that was worth saving.It was not our fault that they were complete assholes! They fought desperately and valiantly.Our objective was to capture systems in its entirety.Including its people.Even though I defeated them they fought back,unyielding.They really forced me to get serious.I had to resort to using my expertise which is biology.Casualties numbered billions.Those who survived killed themselves anyway.Truth is I even liked it.The feeling of squashing their fragile lives in my hands,I loved it.But this was a huge failure for me.I failed the objective.That was all I thought at the time. I never thought I failed even worse than before.I never thought I had betrayed even myself.I admired Father Xalus,I admired the teacher.They would both spit on me if they saw me back then.WHAT HAVE I DONE?I screamed.It was easy for me to withdraw.I could escape,I did not have a single casualty and it was not like this was a true expedition.More like an expedition to test the waters.A true expedition would not be led by me.I did not have any expertise and could not capture mos of them alive.Even I understood that.I never truly had any reason to kill them at all.I did it because I could and I liked it.My greatest failure.I had failed.I had not failed the objective.I had failed myself. A boy too bright,too knowledgeable for his own good.Who had convinced himself there was enough death and suffering.Who had resolved to solve them.Who hated the empty eyes of people he always looked every day.Who had wanted to kill every last one of those bastards who indulged themselves in sin at the expense of others.Who wanted to break the world,which tried to break him."When did he faded away?"I mumbled to myself while lowering my head in shame. I turned my ship around and escaped into a distant world.I could not face what I have done.Some years have passed.When I had finally found peace with what I have done and was ready to meet teacher,I died.Yes,I fucking died...In the end it did not matter at all.OH!SHIT HERE IT COMES! [A recap from prologue to current] Phew!That was some shit I never want to see again.A mirror comes before me and I enter into it. OH MY GOD!Is that my soul palace?It looks like a mansion.It has a single entrance and many towers made of many precious things.Walls are adorned by statues.Upon the entrance is carved a single skull.In a place that looks eternal only symbol of mortality.I enter the mansion.Before me is a hall with many black mirrors.They look like someone tried to make a mirror out of iron.After a time that feels like hours I come before a mirror.My mirror.My life.I touch it and mirror shimmers I am drawn into it.Now I wake...

What the... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This was a long chapter and some heavy stuff.It seems our MC comes from a crapsack world!Who knew? Tried a poll!Hope you vote in it! Chapter 4:Thank you,Mithrah

What the..."Is that what I am thinking?"
It''s exactly what you are thinking!
..."A blue-"
Screen!More specifically I am interface of the Wisdom Lord skill!I was made by Ashar.
"Nice...So what do you do and why are you a blue screen?"I say showing my annoyance.
Well,I help you access knowledge stored in Wisdom lord skill,do calculations and all kinds of stuff.I use a game interface so you can understand this world.Also because it is most familiar for you.
"So you got the idea from games I played?"It was taking form of a blue screen to communicate with me.Like how the MMO interface would in the old world.
That''s correct!It was a suitable form.
"So why are all of my skills sealed?"Almost all my skills were sealed.
You think using your skills are easy?Some of them are skills of Gods!But it is not like you cannot use it at all.You just cannot use it in its full potential.
"I see..."Then I looked at the pitch black dimension"Then do tell me now where am I?"
We are within you master.Yes,we are within your fragile little psyche.
"So then why am I here?"he could simply talk to me when I was awake.
I intercepted you as you were waking up.As per previous master''s wish I shall help you.Although I can not give you recent knowledge.My knowledge is more than 3 billion years old,so I am afraid I don''t know much about this world.Still I can help you in other things like using skills or helping you fight.Like the warfare assistance interface that used to be on your combat suit.You can access me anytime.Until you do I will stay here,sleeping.If you wish to know how I know that.It is because I live in your mind master.I know everything you know.
"I see.Then show me my appearance.I do not even know what I look like yet!"Mirrors in my soul palace was not really mirrors.Mirrors would show external appearance.I could only see my past appearance from them.A man with black hair and eyes with olive skin.Wearing black clothes from head to toe.My very look screamed average.I do not know if it was my average,uninteresting looks or my thin presence but within ten minutes,you could forget that I existed.
As you will,master.I will make you a clone so you can see what you look like right now.
He said and made a clone of me.But man,was that really me?My skin was pale,not really a sickly pale.Like skin of a vampire,that has never seen sun.I had long black hair and a chubby face.I was really cute.But most interesting aspect of my look was my eyes.They were golden and even seemed to sparkle like gold.I do not know why but they felt otherworldly.

"WHAT THE HELL?!"You gotta be shitting me!"I am 12389 years old?!"
Yes you are.Did you think you slept for a day or so?You think a dragon body is easily formed?You slept for thousands of years!I was almost bored to death!.
"I am 12389 years old...I have already became an old guy...No wait!I am not an old guy!I am ancient!...I did not even spend a month in this world.HOW RIDICULOUS!"
Don''t worry,for your kind,you are just a toddler!You are a dragon king you know.For them thousands of years can barely be called days in human sense.Of course you still have your human perception of time and you are going to live one hell of a long life...Good luck!
This probably means I will outlive everyone I will ever meet...Depressing!Lets think about that later!"Blue Screen!Explain my stats to me!"
Yes,master!Health is,well,your health.If it depletes you die.Mana is your mana pool.If it depletes,you pass out.Health Regen and Mana Regen are regeneration rates of your health and mana.It is always 0.0001 of your mana and health.You have no way of increasing regeneration rate except for using spells,martial arts and enchanted items. Strength is how physically strong you are.It increases your physical attack and-to a lesser extent-your defense.A level 1 human has about 1 strength. Agility is how agile you are.It increases your reflexes,movement and attack speed.A level 1 human has about 1 agility. Vitality increases your health.A level 1 human has about 1 vitality. Resistance is your resistance against attacks.Attacks will always damage you however,you cannot be immune to them.It increases your physical and magical resistance.A level 1 human has 1 resistance. Intelligence is how intelligent you are.It increases your memorizing,your magical attack and-to a lesser degree-your magical defense. Wisdom is how wise you are.It increases your mana pool,perception of mana and your ability to perceive things.Like someone''s motives or feelings.If he lied or not.Perception of danger which is kind of like sixth sense as you understand it.A level 1 human has 1 wisdom. Charisma is how charismatic you are.It increases your leadership ability,how deep your actions and words can influence others.Also your ability to persuade or intimidate people.A level 1 human has 1 charisma Willpower is the strength of your will.This is your most monstrous stat.It increases your ability to use and resist mind-altering magic,as well as your ability to resist physical,emotional pain and insanity.A level 1 human has 1 willpower
"Muahwhahahahah!I am a cheat character!"
Not really,master.There are many others who can kill you with a flick of their finger.Your stats are below average for a dragon.A dragon usually has 3x more stats over humans.As a Dragon king you should have had 9x more stats.
"9x more stats!That is not over powered?"How is that not overpowered?
Not really master,as I said humans.There are other creatures who are similar to dragons.Humans are the weakest race in this world and the most numerous.That is why they have been able to survive.Also being 9x more stronger than humans is not being over powered you will also advance 9x slower.
"So how do I advance?Do I go out and kill cute critters or something?"
No.Although,that IS one way of training.But killing animals will not really help you advance.Normally you would not be able to advance like that.But since you have me I can refine mana you get from killing someone or something.You are only able to get like 10% of what they had.That is why training normally would be faster.Hunting an animal is inefficient.
"I see.Then I will investigate my abilities now."I was excited about my skills.

"I see Blue Screen.So you made Amargyr for me?"I was shocked.He solved all my problems!
Yes master.As I said I will use my knowledge to help you!
I saw everything I needed to see.I do not think I have to stay here any further."I am leaving."
Master,you cannot leave until I tell you something.
"What is it?"I ask.
I have watched you from here,listened to your monologues.Your act is so fake that it cries to heaven!Those ridiculous reactions trying to humor yourself!I know you are NOT the person you are posing as!You have noticed.I know that you have.You are near your limits.Let it go.Do not try to be someone you are not!Your very personality is an act!You always lie,mostly to yourself! I know how you feel...You feel angry for betraying yourself.If you just had killed soldiers and armed militia you would not care.But because of you innocents died.There were even babies among them.You broke your code and you felt freed.It is alright to be free.You made a dam for yourself.When it inevitably breaks,you punish yourself.You always lived inside a prison.You goal is to build a palace.How can you build it if you are inside a prison? Now you have a second chance at life.You want to be a hero instead of a monster.A king instead of a warden.But you are going at it the wrong way! A monster like me...I only know how to dominate.I only learned to never trust another person unconditionally...As long as I live...I do not even think much of all that I have done...I do not regret killing innocents,I just regret breaking my code.I swore.Never again...Now I realize after all I could not be who I wanted to be.I am and was only a monster. An unfeeling monster who does right things for wrong reasons.I do not need this me.I shall throw it away.
<3RD PERSON POV> Scene shifts from black background to that of a vibrant forest.An escape pod is falling down.An average man with black hair and eyes runs through the forest with unbelievable speed.In the escape pod there was a beautiful woman.She had a delicate face with two scars in her cheek.It was certain that she was a warrior.She had blue eyes and fair skin.Short blonde hair."I must leave.She is a human." he looked hesitant,but took her home with him anyway."Aryas eirch revarimlas."he touched her face. Scene shifted again.A man living with a woman inside a wooden house.Woman looks different now.Her long hair is a ponytail.She has cute clothes.They are eating as together as woman looks on him smilingly.Man is frowning.Then comes night time.After telling the man to not stay up late,she goes to her bedroom upstairs.Man is moving to his own bedroom downstairs."So I could not love her after all.Seeing she does not really lack in beauty,"he says frowning"I simply wanted to try.It failed.How can one love a doll?But I am not capable of trust." Scene shifted once more.This time man is frowning again.While woman is horrified of him.In her eyes there is only reflection of a monster."YOU MONSTER!"she screams running away.Man looks after her a melancholic expression on his face."She is right.I am a monster.I don''t blame her.I just thought that maybe...But I was wrong after all.For my goals I do not need myself.I must throw me away."he says,resolution in his face. Scene shifts now man is standing in a pure white dimension.An old man who was called keeper of the dead looks at him and tells him that he is dead.He thinks back,she was the one who killed me surely.But the old man tells him he was struck by a meteor.Although suspicious since not remembering anything at all,he doesn''t care. He did not want to live as Seeker anymore.He is going to hell.As he was taught by Old Father Xalus,he probably is going to deepest circle of hell.At least he can suffer a punishment for what he has done.Not that he feels guilt after all. Workers and soldiers scurry,trying to feed the desires of their ever-changing masters.Not enjoying one day of their work.Empty eyes,empty faces,empty lives.Even their masters are not really happy.Always suffering,hurting.Death should be a mercy.They themselves profit from their passing. Man tells him he is going to hell.Tell him his regret...After thinking.He decides to become the hero he read in novels.He tells him his only regret is not using his son.Man looks at him with pity.He wonders if the man understood? "Why did you show me that?"I feel my face frowning and my eyes squinted.I did not want to remember!
Master,it was not your fault.Previous master took pity on young you,when you were crying.He used wisdom lord to calm your mind.But it was a divine skill,not meant to be used on you.It almost destroyed your mind. Being a monster is very easy.It is like jumping off a cliff.All it takes is a little push.As for your plan to be a hero all I can say that it is wrong.Being a hero is not so easy as wearing mask of one until it becomes you.Stop trying to do it easy way you only fool yourself. As for why I am saying these.Master I said that I would help you.I will help you with my knowledge and my experience.After all I have them from previous master.His wish was to see you accept yourself.Just take the first step master.Even though you have lived for many years,emotionally you never progressed beyond the young boy. Let go of your past life,let it not haunt you any longer.You have a new life.Be the person whom you want to be.Who said heroes are not monsters?Also,you were never the monster you thought you were. When you wake up at least trust someone master.Even if it doesn''t work,you can always trust me master.I will never and cannot betray you.After all master,I exist for your sake!
I do not know what to say.So that was the reason why Ashar was sorry.My dream...It seems I chose wrong path to it.Blue screen was right.Emotionally I never progressed beyond a teenager.My new emotions?They only made me uncomfortable.I was like a child scared of the dark.Unable to see I simply stayed where I was and role played a hero. I cannot make it like everything did not happen.If I close my eyes it won''t go away.I have finally found my answer.I know what to do.I feel at peace now"I remembered me.Thank you,Mithrah."Now I had a companion.For the first time in my life,I am not alone. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// With this at last prologue is done...Man it took me five chapters.When I decided to write the story in first person point of view,I wanted to make a twist where character lied!He lied about his thoughts and himself.I hope you forgive me! Emotionally never progressed beyond a young boy.After experiencing emotions again and being in a place trapped alone for 1000 years...You can understand why he is almost insane.Because he imitated the hero he read about he seemed classic stereotype.But not everything he told is lies. I am writing this to get an experience of writing...Because I wanted to try a twist like this,everything else suffered.I hope I can improve it later on.I bit off more than I could chew!After this well,I am going to get the story on track and write a more heartwarming chapters.
