《Grenzenlos》 Proloug: The meeting and the end This is my first fanfic and my native language is not in english so I hope that if you find mistakes in language or grammar I hope you can write them in the comments and I will change these in times. Last but not least, pls comment how you expect the reincarnation to go. I am sure no one will expect my way :D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Far above the ground of Erde in the realm of the god. The gods held a conference about the recent problems in the mortal world, but the conference still bore no fruits. One short man with well defined muscles an bruises all over his body had two fiery red battleaxes on his back and shouted: ¡°Oh shut up Klar, just because I am the god of war doesn¡¯t mean that I should kill everything, why the heck did I even have to fight against the Dragon Emperor and his shitty minions. Shouldn¡¯t Nel take this job? He is the god of death!¡± ¡°Why the hell we do have such stupid rules, if we were allowed to freely interfere with mortals we could stop this silly problem in seconds¡­¡± A god with a big belly and a bald head murmured to himself. Suddenly a gate appeared in the conference room and a skinny man with a pale face and a skeletal staff entered into the room. The atmosphere changes drastically, everyone got silent and the nearby angel servants looked as if they suffocated on their own air. Many gods send a glance of despite towards the skinny man. ¡°I am ashamed to be late but as you all should know hell just overflows with new arrivals. Oh and Kairos, you are as hot blooded like ever, could you turn your brain on. Dragons have an endless lifespan, I can turn their clock of life forward but that would not affect them in the slightest and shouldn¡¯t you be able to handle a mere mortal? You really got weak, maybe it is time for you to retire and let someone else take your position. Someone who is more skilled at killing, like my son.¡± A furious war cry could be heard and in an instant two axes appeared in front of the skinny man ready to cut his head off. The skinny man did not even try to dodge the attack and had a slight grin on his face which showed how unaffected he was of the show of his brother. ¡°Do you really think YOU can bring death to death?¡± The skinny man started to laugh loud. Stop it, both of you! The soft but loud shout came by a young looking, blond women with a snow white skin and a beauty which can be said to be unparalleled in the whole world. ¡°We have more urgent matters to attend to then your little dispute.¡± Kairos frowned silently and Nel¡¯s grin widened. Nel hated Kairos since long ago. While he himself had to live in hell, Kairos was allowed to live in heaven even though both handled death. Furthermore Kairos was just a stupid brute. Nel couldn¡¯t understand how both of them can be the sons of the same father. This uncivilized outburst before all gods was just good enough to brighten his mood from the recently on storm of souls in hell. The young looking, blond women seated herself in a throne of clouds in the middle of the room and started speaking. Now that we are all here we need to find a solution on how we can get the monster under control, if this continues the monster will overrun our followers and we will lose more of our power. We can¡¯t let this happen if we fail this world we will never be allowed to rule another world. ¡°But that isn¡¯t our fault! Klar said that we would handle a magic world even though these worlds have the strongest life forms on a planet!¡± Said a god out of the mass of gods. A fiery discussion kindled between the gods and many approved of what the god said. They searched for a sacrificial lamb where they could dump their responsibilities on. Even though they may be gods many gods, mostly lower gods, were filled with the same despising traits like humanoids. All gods had much pride, some were even greedy or gluttony and most of them were lazy. They lived for such a long time that they just waited for the time to pass on and wanted everything to stay the same. For this reason they wanted to end this conference as fast as possible and go back to their temple or their holy ground, but this clouded their judgment and they didn¡¯t even try to sincerely look for a solution. An angry woman stood up from her cloud chair and shouted:¡± Even if you dumb all your responsibilities on me it will not change the fact that we ALL will lose this world if we let the monster roam further around! And just so you know you dumb fucks! We voted which kind of a world we would take. YOU ALL choose this world and I just reassured father that we could handle such a world, but you lazy bumps just didn¡¯t care what happened in the world until the balance was destroyed!¡± All gods were shocked. The shouting god was Klar, Klar was the god of Nature and was said to be a calm and peaceful god. They didn¡¯t expect the friendly, shy girl to get so furious, but what shocked them the most was her appearance. Her normal white skin turned obsidian colored and her silk like brown hair turned to hundreds of wooden snake which made her head look like that of a medusa. Furthermore her normal soft and friendly voice turned furious like the voice of the devil himself. No god knew that she could turn to such an evil looking creature. There were many reasons for Klar¡¯s sudden outburst. First of all her beloved forest was ravaged by wild monster and even though she ordered her apostles to defend against the wave of monsters they either lost their life or deflected to other gods when they saw what happened to their comrades. This left her to be almost completely follower less. Secondly she did tried to warn the gods of the growing population of monsters for over 2000years, but no one was willing to listen to her. Finally the gods even claimed that she, who tried to warn them for over 2000years, was the reason for this misfortunate. While the anger for her fellow gods took over something in her awoke, something she did not even knew existed in her and as such she let her true feelings explode like a raging storm. Some gods cowered in fear of the obsidian women and felt like they women could in every moment rage through the gods and begin to slaughter them. Normally they wouldn¡¯t fear other gods but Klar was a higher god and could easily kill over 100 lower gods and even 40 medium gods. Together with her furious aura she appeared like a vicious demon. The young looking, blond women noticed that the conference suddenly took a turn for the worst and had a serious and troubled look on her face. She didn¡¯t expect that the conference would be so fruitless and did in secret hope that they did not have to use plan B. The young looking, blond women sighed:¡± Klar I know that you are furious and I know that you would happily kill all of these thrash gods but that still wouldn¡¯t help to stop the monsters, so could you please calm down.¡± Klar seemingly angry still had her skin obsidian colored and frowned loud but sank back into her cloud chair. ¡°But what shall we do? We surely didn¡¯t meet today if this conflict could be easily solved¡±. The bald god said. ¡°Yeah even if we knew the danger what could we possible do? If we fight we may lose too many apostles to rule over this world.¡± Said another god with protest. ¡°I already discussed this topic with some gods and we hoped that we would not need to go to such drastic measures.¡± Said the young looking, blond women. ¡®Sigh ¡¯¡±We will combine our world with another world and enable souls to travel between both worlds. Then we will create puppet bodies which are like normal humanoids bodies and let the souls of the otherworlder fight for us through these puppets. These bodies will have the essence of gods and will, like us gods, be able to resurrect in a temple.¡± ¡°Ar¡­Are you crazy? You want to let foreigner souls with immortal bodies roam in our world? This is madness!¡± Shouted a god furiously. ¡°Madness? I don¡¯t think so. Through cheer luck humans in another world developed a device named virtual reality capsule which lets the soul animate beings in a virtual world without leaving the real body. If we use this device to let souls animate our puppets we will have an undying force who still remains mortal in his own world.¡± The young looking, blond women took a deep breath. ¡°Furthermore will we program restrictions into our puppets which prevents them to harm our humanoid followers as long as we don¡¯t want them to and finally we will give the humanoids the ability to create quests. Through our information most foreigners should follow these quest and do the tasks of our people as long as they get some reward. This ability is just a visual effect and they will not even notice that they have this ability, but it will help them greatly in controlling the otherworlders. BUT we have one slightly problem¡­¡± The woman started to tremble and was barely able to get the final words out of her mouth ¡°¡®fffaaather rules this world¡±. ¡®¡­.¡¯ Even if the gods didn¡¯t like the solution most of them knew that there wasn¡¯t an alternative and approved the plan but after the last words of the blond, young looking women were spoken the room went silent and fell in a deep depression. Only the wind could be heard as it moved through the room. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. Finally Kairos let a silent growl out:¡±I think I have to go. We have a slight monster problem and the dragon emperor still is alive and beating. I think I haven¡¯t tried hard enough to defeat the dragon, I will only return once I have succeeded.¡± ¡°You are right brother I am responsible for death and I can¡¯t let my dear brother fight alone, we will somehow stop this monster invasion, I will join you and I too swear to only return once the dragon emperor is dead.¡± The room was still filled with silence. Only the footsteps of Kairos and the ¡®clack, clack¡¯ sound of Nel¡¯s staff could be heard until even those sounds vanished and the room was left with complete silence. Even the wind couldn¡¯t be heard anymore. Every sane person would turn insane of the strange mood in the room. Not one god dared to make a sound again and they all left the room with a hopeless grim expression on their face. Even the upcoming monster waves didn¡¯t turn the gods in such a state and shortly later only two gods were left. ¡°Klar could, could you please ask father if we are allowed to combine our world with his? He spoiled you so often and maybe he would at least hear you out.¡± The young looking, blond women nervously played with her hair. ¡°But I, we ¡­¡± ¡°Let me think about it.¡± Klar already returned to her normal appearance and no signs of her devilish transform could be seen on her beautiful body. Klar stood for a long time in the cloud room and even the young looking, blond women already left. A day later Klar went to the exit and showed a terrified face as she left the room. This day should be later on known as the day of the great bewitching. Every follower had to celebrate this day or each god would send their wraith to the ungrateful being and send it to his eternal rest. -- -- -- In a white room lies a person on a bed. The room has much space but only little space is truly used. Here and there are some chairs. A small TV hangs on the wall opposite to the bed and strange devices are seated next to the bed. The person on the bed looks to be a man around his 30-40 and has many blue dots on his body. Blood can be seen on his clothes and he coughs heavy, sometimes he even spits a bit of blood. Many devices are connected to him and seem to check his health condition. The man takes a remote control next to his bed in his hands. ¡°Let¡¯s see how the doom of many good man is doing.¡± and turns the TV on. ¡®The heads of over 10 states retired. The official statement was that they judged that they could not stop the increasing crime rate. Carla what do you think about th¡­¡¯ ¡®Boring this happens now a days every two weeks, can¡¯t they show some more important stuff? The man starts to change the channels on the TV; his face shows a slightly annoyed expression as he wanders through the channels until he abruptly stops. ¡®Some years prior a highly revolutionary device in the gaming industry was published. The device is now a days known under the name virtual reality capsule or short only capsule and was created by Mark Johnson. Many developers broke their teeth on this device and most of the old generation developers didn¡¯t understand the concept behind < connection through mind> and as such many unsatisfied games were produced, but finally after 8 years since the capsule has been founded one games was created which puts every other game into the shadows. This pioneering game was recently published and is also the first game which could cope with the new technology of the capsule. The game seems like a second world with endless possibilities and is named . Grenzenlos is a fantasy based game, but more after the commercial break.¡¯ ¡°Well finally we have some people who think the world will go one. ¡®Sigh¡¯ it is a shame as a kid I dreamed of such games but now I can¡¯t even try the good ones before I die.¡± The man always felt that death was so far from him, as if every problem of the world somehow avoided him. A crisis there, a ¡®DEADLY ALL HUMAN KILLING ILLNESS¡¯ here and another war here and there, but it was still so far away from him and his life. He was no foul. He knew that he could die as easy as every other person. He even felt a slight shudder when his mind crossed the idea that a sudden drunken driver could just end his life. While animals expected that the cars could just drive off the streets and try to run them over, most humans walked like no care in the world as if no random crazy action could just kill them suddenly off. It was not like he was different, he knew it could happen but what could one do other then to say bad luck. Well maybe he was a bit different, he would not believe the deadly apocalypse which were on the news and could kill EVERYONE. He more believed that the deadly apocalypse was the random bad luck that was all time present and that as sudden as he was born he could die as sudden as well. A man in a coverall enters into the room of the man and turns the TV manually off. ¡°Hello Dr. Jakobs I am ashamed to bother you, but since time is not on your side and we still have a contract going, I hoped that you would be willing to help us with new ideas for ¡®your¡¯ project.¡± ¡°Phil you can call me John, only jerks want to be called with their title and I don¡¯t know which contract you mean? I already finished all my responsibilities.¡± John played dumb, he was already as good as dead; he just wants to growl in his failure and wait until his end comes. ¡°John you tried so much to get your little project started and when you were finally allowed to play around you just had to get yourself infected with Oodinium, well at least 3 million suffer with you.¡± Phil stared at John seemingly thinking he hit a sore spot. ¡°John come on, what had you planned. We know that you already researched how to reset the aging process but what did you find? You might be able to leave traces in history!¡± Phil got more and more impatient. ¡°Sorry Phil I don¡¯t have anything for you. I wanted to start the research but well the illness came first, so please just piss off.¡± John dreamed since long ago to achieve immortality. He had no noble goal like helping others he just was afraid of death. But since his doom is already decided he had no interest to corrupt humanity further. He knew what Phil searched. John planned to alter bacteria which would repair ones lifespan through leaving a needed enzyme in the cells. It was a low risk, high gain method, but it was still his method. ¡°John you know what¡­ We don¡¯t need you. You had your chance but the only thing for what you will be remembered is the doom of humanity.¡± Phil wanted to leave the room shaking his head in disbelieve of John¡¯s stubbornness. ¡°Oh shut up. I did not want to create Oodinium and I believe in 4 weeks the virus will vanish by itself maybe even earlier.¡± John said with certainty in his words. Phil looked for the last time to John before leaving the room. John¡¯s last sentence brought Phil to the conclusion that the illness already turned John¡¯s brain into mush. How could such a deadly illness just vanish like that furthermore in just 4 weeks? Many experts even came to the conclusion that the illness will turn humanity itself to dust but he was so bold to state such a lie with proud. ¡°Why did he have to visit¡­ Who the hell piss ill people off?" Shouted John. "¡­ I hope I will still be able to see my girl, but oh hell, with my rotten luck who knows what will happen.¡± John turns the TV back on and stares blankly at the screen. He lost his previously interest completely. 5 hours later ¡°Doctor the condition of the patient in room 13 seems to get worse. He is the special patient shall we give him blood transfusions?¡± A nurse rushes to the next nearby doctor. ¡°Room 13? The one with Oodinium? Even if he is a special patient the best we can do is expand his life for one more day. We will need all the blood we can get. He should already be full with painkillers; there is nothing we can do for him.¡± The doctor spoke harsh words but the nurse did not dare to go against his orders. ---- ----- With this John stood on death doors and even as he had no pain he knew that he will be finished. ¡®Karma is such a bitch, I spent years with learning, building up a repetition and then try to get immortality started but destiny comes and says nope.¡¯ John felt into depression, a tear could be seen leaving his left eye and he closed his eye shut. He was in a foul mood. He wanted his shit life to finally end, waiting for what comes next or what not. He lied on the bed, his eyes closed with coughs which came more and more recently until he abruptly stopped to cough. The cough seizures were replaced by a ¡®beeeeeepppppp¡¯ sound from a device next to the bed and with this leaving a colder growing body behind. Chapter 1: The dear and the deer. This is my first fanfic and my native language is not in english so I hope that if you find mistakes in language or grammar I hope you can write them in the comments and I will change these in times. PS: I made the chapter extra long so that there will be no cliffhanger. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is this strange feeling? ''I am sure I died but why does it feel like I am floating? It is so dark and my hands and feet can¡¯t reach anywhere?'' John tried to open his eyes and looked at his surroundings but his eyes didn¡¯t see anything. He panicked and tried to kick and hit around him but his legs and arms neither moved. ''Is this the afterlife? It seems like ones live is not the end. I am sure I will land in hell. It isn¡¯t like I was a bad person but I wasn¡¯t a good person either. I just walked my way and cared most for my own self being and¡­ It is my fault that all these people died, if I hadn¡¯t been so stubborn, if I just had looked for alternatives! I exchanged lives for my own goals, not directly but still.'' ''Seems like now I will have to accept my fate I am sure god will be just.'' John floated in the darkness but suddenly a light could be seen in the distance and he seemed to be drawn to it. He was like a moth which were drawn to lights but in contrast to a moth he could not choose to go there. The world itself made him drift to the light. ''It is so classic; if you die you will reach a tunnel of light. Seems like people with near death experience know what they are talking about but I don¡¯t think that once you reach the light it will send me back and say it is too early. I am pretty sure that I am dead.'' Just as John thought this his surroundings trembled heavy. The tunnel started to rip and cut apart and a hole appeared in the tunnel. ''This! This is definitive not right! What is happening? Wait what! I think I am leaving the path oh shit I don¡¯t want to go through that hole!'' John tried to kick and hit again but like the earlier try it ended in failure and he got nearer and nearer to the hole. ''Can¡¯t I not at least rest in peace when I am dead!'' John got sucked into the hole and his body shook heavy. He felt like he took an unsteady path with no road but he had no choice but to follow this path. Suddenly the shaking stopped and John was in the middle of a village. He tried to stand up and walk but he noticed that he still had no legs or more like he had no body. 4 days later John still was in the same location. He could not move and as such he was doomed to stay here. He saw many Humans in the village and saw that the most of them wore rag like clothes and seemed dirty, some skinny and many well build. The huts of the village were made out of wood but John noticed with one glance that the huts were made poorly and would at most protect from the rain or the wind. He soon came to the conclusion that he was in a different world. He could understand that not every human in his old world had good clothes or electrify or good hygiene and etc., but he saw somethings which just could not exist in his world. He saw animals or more like creatures which were treated as horses but did not one bit looked like horses. They were three meter tall and at most resemble a giraffe. Their skin was whitish and they had no fur. Around their mouths were tentacle like feelers which were seemly used to grab plants and stuff them into their mouths. To be precise they were just gross. There were more strange creatures which seemly were for farmers but since he could not move he was not sure for what they were used. He even once saw something which at first resembled a deer and was located at the edge of the nearby forest. It seemed like in his spirit form he had way better eyesight and as such he could even clearly see animals in the forest but that deer like animal. He wished he would not have seen it. At first it looked into the opposite direction of the village and it¡¯s ¡®face¡¯ was hidden. It seemed like a majestic deer with no antlers but still looked like a male deer. But then it looked straight at the village and its face could be seen. Its face was just a bare space but it still seemed to look straight at owns souls. John got ¡®goose bumps¡¯ in his ¡®ghost form¡¯ and he saw how a bump moved around the deer¡¯s face. He was sure he heard a faint ¡®crunch¡¯ ¡®crunch¡¯ sound from the deer and he knew that such a sound would not be made from just eating plants. If he had legs he would have tried to run as fast away as possible. But luckily in the next instant the deer vanished. John was puzzled why the deer vanished but then he noticed that he felt killing intent from behind him and saw how a man stood behind him and looked grimly at the forest. In his old live John would have laughed when someone said he felt killing intent but now he knew it better. It is as if ones soul says you should stay away and run. Even though the killing intent made him feel uneasy he knew that the man wasn¡¯t dangerous. It seemed like the middle aged old man with brown short hair and the perfect amount of muscle let a reassuring aura out which said stay away from me and my family and I will stay away from you. The middle aged old man soon went away and I was alone again. Thus my thesis that I am in a different world was complete. Some might think that they may be on a different planet but I am sure that leaving the tunnel meant leaving my world. It is just a feeling but it seems logic to me. Furthermore I am pretty sure that their technology is on the medieval standard. Yesterday I saw how a man had lost a leg and many villagers brought the man with the ripped leg to a bigger hut and today I saw the man walking around seemingly fine and with both legs, but I still think that this village is underdeveloped. They have simple tools and their houses are poorly made like very poorly. If someone can attach a leg why the hell can¡¯t they have proper tools and proper houses? Well I still know too little about this world and I speculate much. Who knows maybe this village is just a really underdeveloped place and the rest of the world is really high tech. 14 days later It is so boring. I can¡¯t move and I fear that I will stay endlessly here. Really how can gods just lose a soul and doom it to stay endlessly at a strange world with gross animals. I heard that hell at least has an end but I don¡¯t think that this will ever end. Really if I had known that my life would end like this I would have gone to more parties and would have less learned for the school. If I could at least understand their language then I would be happy but no. New place, new language. Well at least the middle aged man comes to visit me regularly. Not that he knows that I am here but he comes every 2-3 days to the same spot next to me, stares at the forest and sometimes lets his killing intent out. I didn¡¯t see the deer again but I have a feeling that he is watching something. At first I thought the deer was watching the village but soon I noticed that every time the middle aged man walks around the village I can feel ¡®goose bumps¡¯ which only vanish once the middle aged man lets his killing intent out or gets relative far away from the forest. Further I noticed that the middle aged man has a wife. She seems to be pregnant and it looks like they often have quarrels. Most of the villagers ignore the pair and it seems like some villagers have a despiteful look in their eyes when they see the middle aged man or his wife. First I thought that the people in this world were just a bit different but it seems like this village is very gloomy. 8 days later Recently I saw that the wife of the middle aged old man had a baby in her arms and her swollen belly went back to normal. Now that her belly is back to her normal shape a beautiful black haired women with curves to drool for appeared and it seems like some villagers really drool when they see her which is a bit creepy, not just for me. For the baby it seems like it got green eyes like his father, but since it was hold in the arms of his/her mother I couldn¡¯t get a good look on it. Another strange phenome appeared too. I got the regularly ¡®goose bumps¡¯ which I am bit used to. At least the feeling to run 1000km away from here is not so strong anymore, but when I looked around and searched for the middle aged man I did not find him. Instant I saw that his wife with the baby in her arms were walking around the village and I am sure I saw for a split second the pale, blanc face of the deer at the forest. It does not seem like the wife did notice the strange creepy feeling from the forest but I wonder what the deer got interested in, I hope I don¡¯t have to see the creepy face again. 5 days later Nowadays the middle aged old man comes everyday next to me and lets his killing intent out. I think the reason for this is that he noticed that the deer watched his wife and the baby. His wife walked like often around the village with the baby in her arms and like again I could feel the normal ¡®goose bumps¡¯ and for the first time the deer walked 1m out of the forest. At that moment I noticed that I was not one bit resistant against the¡¯ goose bumps¡¯ and I am sure adults would shit themselves if they were as near the deer as me. I think even I would shit if I could. But the moment the deer was out of the forest the middle aged old man came. He shouted at his wife and startled all the villagers. The baby began to cry and his wife run with tears in her eyes back to her house while she had her baby in her arm. After this the middle aged old man went with an angry stare to the forest and I am sure the stare of the man meet the deer but the deer vanished in the same instant. The middle aged old man only stopped 10m before the forest. At this moment I could feel a true monster. If one thought that the deer was scary then in this instant you would feel fear like never before. Some villagers even screamed in that instant and some giraffehorses panicked. Villagers with angry looks wanted to stop the middle aged old man when he went near the forest but when they felt his aura they felt to their knees with a terrified expression. At this show came an old villager which seemed to be the elder of the village and seemed to scold the old man since he waved angrily with a staff at the middle aged old man in which he replied with a respectful bow. 1 day later This night a ruckus seemed to appear. Some villagers went with simple tools like a hoe or pitchfork to a house outside of my vision but I heard and recognized that the middle aged old man shouted loudly and that most of the villagers woke up and wondered what happened. After this appeared a mob of villagers and the middle aged old man who had 4 villagers on his shoulder which seemed to be tied up with roots around their body. The elder seemed to speak angrily at the middle aged old man but the man ignored him and went near the forest until he was 20m meters away from the forest and tossed the 4 tied up villagers into the forest. The middle aged old man then shouted into the forest which received the wraith of the elder. It seemed like the elder wanted to attack the middle aged old man but he had a puzzled expression on his face when something seemed to not work? I am not sure what the elder planned but I am sure I saw a glow from the elder¡¯s hand which seemed to instantly die out. To my surprise the deer came out of the forest and stood right before the tied up villagers. The villagers kneeled and ram their head into the ground the instant they saw the deer and the only person still standing was the middle aged old man. Even more surprising was that the villager seemingly did not feel the terrifying aura of the deer. The deer¡¯s pale blanc face looked at the tied up villagers and the roots which tied them up withered away after this the deer walked away. The villagers kneeled the whole time and only stood up until the deer was too far away to be seen. Some of the villagers spoke loudly at the middle aged old man until they too went away. The old man stood there with a face ugly to behold and even if I could not speak their language I knew that it turned from bad to worse for the middle aged old man. This night for once I started to notice that I am not in a world as normal as I thought. I mean I know that this world is not normal with all its strange creatures but it is stranger than I thought. This deer, evil or not, is not just an animal. It seems to have special powers and neither is the old man normal. The old man could easily throw 4 man 20meters and I am sure that was not his full power furthermore could the deer let roots wither and this seemed to be just the beginning of its abilities. Moreover the deer seems to be extremely smart. It appears to be smarter than most humans and tries to turn the old man crazy. It thinks or knows that the old man is dangerous to him. Luckily or not luckily since I am imprisoned here I have a good overview what it is doing. The village respects the deer or if I did not know better they worship it. This prohibits the middle aged old man to hurt the deer or even enter his forest. The deer is holy for them but I am not sure why and I don¡¯t know why the deer watch the middle aged old man but I can say for sure that it tries to get the old man away from the village. What got me surprised was that the deer got a sudden interest in the family of the middle aged old man and seems to get boulder? It truly gives me a shudder when I think what the deer wants from them. 1 day later Today like every day the middle aged old man stands next to me and uses his ritual of giving killing intent in the direction of the forest. Since yesterday the villagers seem to completely avoid him and his family. Today he seems to be deeply in thought and his face seems to get grimmer each day. He is even so deep in thought that he did not notice that his wife walks to him with the baby in her arms. As the wife got nearer I felt a slight ¡®goose bump¡¯. It is not one bit comparable with the normal feeling but I know that the deer is watching. As if enraged the middle aged old man lets a stronger growing killing intent out which seems to successfully drive the watching deer away. For the wife sweat drops appear on her face and her breathing gets heavier but she still goes further to her husband. Once she is behind her husband her legs give out and the baby starts to cry. The middle aged old man has a shocked expression and turns around to see his wife on the ground. The wife smiles at him and speaks something which I can¡¯t understand ¡°# ¡ì$%¡ì #¡ì$¡± but it seems to improve his mood. The baby was still crying and I noticed I could feel something from it. Since a long ago I had no ¡®real¡¯ feelings but I got the feeling that if I tried to take what the child had I would be able to get what I miss. I just had to take it away from him and it would be mine. I did not want to hurt the child but it was an unresisting feeling. I tried to move and go there but at first nothing happened. I felt like I was drawn there, slowly but steady. I just had to hope that they would stay long enough for me to get there. The middle aged old man hugged his wife and started to stay like this for a while giving me the time I needed. Then suddenly I was near enough and it seemed like I got sucked into the baby. It felled like I had a body again and I got overwhelmed by the feeling of the wind around me and the touch at my body made by the slight pressure of holding me in the arms. Then I noticed a small presence from my MIND? At this instant I remembered that this was not my body and I could feel a raw and pure consciousness besides me. It was weak and did not go against my control but I tried to put it under my will so that it will be a part of me or more like be me. Since these lonely days I was trapped between two monsters and was doomed to stay here forever. But now I had the chance to change my fate and I was not ready to give this chance up. I felt how the other will got weaker and weaker but then I saw that the middle aged old man looked at me with a surprised expression. He put his hand on my head and his hands started to glow a faint green color which seemed to do nothing? He looked as puzzled as me and then a blue faint light came from his hand. I was suddenly sent to a strange dark room. I looked around and saw that I was in my old body but my body seemed to be made out of a greyish light. I then noticed how two different lights appeared in the room. One was blueish and looked like the middle aged old man and the other one was whitish and looked like the baby but the baby¡¯s light seemed fainter than ours. The middle aged old man stared at me and looked puzzled. ¡°%&$ #+* ¡ì$% ?¡± He tried to say something to me but I only shrugged my shoulder at his words. He did not seem satisfied and stared at me like he stared at the forest and suddenly I was back in the village. I could see the baby next to me and knew that I lost my chance to have a body. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The middle aged old man had pushed me out of the baby¡¯s mind. If I hadn¡¯t waited so long I am sure I would have taken the body over. SHIT! The middle aged man pushed his wife with the baby away from here and I was again left alone. 2 days later A ruckus started in the village. Many villagers went nervously around the village but I could not get a good view of what was happening. Something must have happened. I could even feel ¡®goose bumps¡¯ when neither the middle aged old man nor his wife with the baby was near the forest. I wonder why even the deer is interested in the ruckus. 1 day later Today I saw what caused the ruckus. The village got visitors. The elder walked the visitors around the village which allowed me to get a look on them. One visitor was a woman in a long brown robe with a staff in her hand. Another one was a boy with pointy ears wearing leather armor and a crossbow on his back. The last one was a 2m tall man in full plate armor with an axe in one hand and a shield in the other. Somehow they felt off. They often smiled and laughed together but it just did not feel right. If the whole village was gloomy and if this whole world had such a depressing mood like this village then the three visitors would seem like unexperienced children who still don¡¯t know much of this world. Their weapons and armor further strengthen my theory that this world can be said to be on the same technology standard than my world in the medieval age. The only things that puzzled me was, that the weapons resembled so much the ancient weapons of my world and that a person had strange ears. In my old world the boy could be called an elf. Not like they existed but it was a typical fantasy humanoid. This too showed me that I still only have very faint knowledge about this world. This evening I saw how the middle aged old man arrived with the three visitors at the spot next to me where he normally let his killing intent out. He seemed to discuss something with the visitors and pointed at the forest. ¡°This will be no problem, we will do it¡± The 2m tall man spoke in English and surprised me, but since I could not speak in my ¡®ghost form¡¯ I was left puzzled. Even if I could not understand what the middle aged old man said I know what he wanted from them, but I know as well that he doomed them to their death if they did as he wished. The deer was no weak little animal, his aura alone showed the vast difference between them and the deer. Even if they were stronger I was sure that the deer was smart enough for them to never find it, but what I found the most frightening though was what would happen if the dear found them. The visitors nodded at the middle aged old man and went back to the village which puzzled me even more. I was sure that he wanted them to kill the deer. The middle aged old man seemed to stay cooler than I thought after all these days. 1 day later The next morning I noticed how the visitors went to the outskirt of the village and started to shout and trample around the forest. This got the attention of the villagers but they just stared dumbfound at the visitors. Not even the elder tried to stop them. The middle aged old man stared with a smirk on his face at the ruckus from the visitors. This went one for a good while but nothing happened. As if sensing their plan failed the 2m tall visitor shouted at his comrades ¡±Fuck this, let¡¯s just kill that thing¡± They started to draw their weapons and adventure into the forest. The middle aged old man shouted at them but the visitors did not stop. The moment the visitors were almost out of sight the deer suddenly appeared behind the visitors and looked at the middle aged old man. The middle aged old man again shouted at the visitors but in the next instant the deer and the visitors vanished. In the distant the 2m tall man could be heard screaming and the villagers started to kneel and ram their heads into the earth like the last time they saw the deer but now their face did show fear instead of worship. The middle aged old man with a grim face turned away and went back into the village leaving the villagers still kneeling behind. The screaming did go on for a good while and even the villagers left. The screams felt me with fear. I wanted to know what happened to them but I knew that once I see it will haunt me for the rest of my lifeless life. 1 day later Early in the morning I saw how the boy and the women walked out of the forest. At first I did not recognize them but their armor gave them away. They were physically completely fine but their aura and expression were off. They seemed like zombies. Both had blood on their faces and their faces were pale with big eye bags. They had wrinkles on their face and their hair was whitish. Their mouth showed a grim expression. Their faces looked 20¡­ no 40 years older than before and their cheerful, childish aura vanished leaving nothing behind as if they were a soulless being. A zombie. I heard voices behind me and saw how the elder and the middle aged old man spoke to each other. Looks like they noticed that the visitors went out of the forest. As I looked back to the soulless visitors I saw, to my shock that the boy disintegrated from head to toe leaving nothing behind, not even clothes. The second after the woman too disintegrated. I was speechless and looked questioningly to the elder and the middle aged old man but their expression was normal and did not help me to understand the crazy scene before me, they just went away as if nothing happened. Ever since I got here only strange things happened. In what a crazy world did I end up, all my common sense is useless. Day after day impossible things happen and I could ask no one why. 3 days later Since the day the 2m tall was abducted the villager seem to treat the middle aged old man and his family better. The villager show respect to them and greet them when they see them. Moreover they actually even speak with them. I even saw how one old villager woman played with the baby of the middle aged old man. Wait! Ahh! Is that true? Hm, maybe I just did not see one. Hm¡­ hm!!!!! I am sure that I saw no child in the whole village. This village has at least one hundred villagers and I know they have couples but why are there no babies or at least children in the village expect for the baby of the middle aged old man? The youngest villager looked to be at least 25years old. What is wrong with this village? They have not a single child in the village and a couple of days they completely singled the middle aged old man out but now they do as if nothing happened. I even saw how the Elder and the middle aged old man walked together around the village. 2 days later Today the middle aged old man came together with his to wife to the spot next to me. ¡°% ¡ì%$ %$ &¡ì¡ì$ &¡ì$ &¡ì$$&% ¡±¡± ¡ì&%¡¯% &%$¡ì ¡ì%$ &%$ &%$¡ì& &%¡ì$ ¡ì$%& &%¡ì$&$¡± ¡°& &¡ì$% &¡ì%¡ì ¡ì%$ ¡ì%%$ $¡ì %$¡ì &% %¡ì$% &¡ì%¡±¡¯sob, Sob¡¯ The middle aged old man discussed something with his wife which made her cry but it did not seem like a quarrel, both stayed calm and looked each other into their eyes. The middle aged old man put his arms around her hips and rested his head on her head. He then proceeded to pull her to his body and held her tight in his arms. He began to raise his head and looked her into her eyes. Both neared their lips to each other until their lips were entangled into each other and stayed like this. The man began to leave her lips and pulled her on her hips to his height leaving her feet in midair in which the woman let a ¡°huh¡± sound out. The man then began to entangle his lips with her lips again and began to slightly rub her butt with one hand while the other hand held her in midair. After a while both stopped to kiss each other. The man took his wife princess style in his arms in which followed a ¡®giggle¡¯ by the woman and the man walked back to the village with his wife in his arms. For me this was a bit too much but I got the feeling that these two were their soul partner. They loved each other truly and even in this harsh time they stood and held together. This was a relationship he envied. But what he envied even was that butt. It was just heaven like. Today at midnight the middle aged old man arrived next to me. I wondered what he was doing here late at night. It would have been the first time that he would have let his killing intent out while it was night but just as I was thinking this I felt the ¡®goose bumps¡¯ and looked shocked at the forest. I know or felt that this night was special. I heard a ¡®sigh¡¯ from the middle aged old man and as I wanted to look to him I saw how a blur rushed to the forest. I saw for a short second the true strength of the middle aged old man and knew that the hunt began. Two hours went by and not a single noise could be heard from the forest, not even the aura from the two monsters could be felt. Another hour passed but there was still no trace of the man or the beast but I could hear a voice coming from the village. Then a shadowy figure neared to me or should I say to the forest? At first it was too dark to see who the person was but then I saw it. The wife with the baby in her arms came in my direction, in the direction of the forest. As she came nearer and nearer I could feel the thing that I missed, a body. I tried again to drift towards the baby and as the wife got nearer I succeded. The wife stopped and gave me the time I needed until I got sucked into the baby. This time I wasn¡¯t taken by surprise by the feelings that I lost and I too know that I still had the baby¡¯s will in here. So I concentrated my will and began to put the baby¡¯s presence under my will. This time I held not back nor did I waver, I would get a body at all cost! With this thought the will of the baby vanished and I felt how a link was made between me and my new body. It seems like as long as one does not conquer the former will completely the body will not truly belong to one. As my inner fight ended I opened my eyes and saw a shocking scene before me. The wife¡¯s head, her chest and her stomach was nowhere to be seen. Blood spurted out of the lifeless body and showered on me. Then I began to feel fear. Not fear of the blood on me, nor fear from the dead body. It was a fear that overpowered both. I had goose bumps all over my body and tried to look around to see what was happening. When I saw it I almost throw up, the deer stood beside the dead body of the wife. The whole bare face of the deer was open and revealed mouth in which worms or more tentacleteeths were. The whole head and the whole thorat was a single mouth in which the tentacle teeths ripped at the flesh and like worms wandered around the flesh. Flesh walls of the mouth secreted a yellowish thick liquid which wandered through the holes in which the tentacles opened and digested the flesh. The bones were crunched by small, sharp and knife like teethes in the front of the mouth. As I cursed my luck for getting a new body and soon be eaten in a cruel some way I saw that the head of the deer came nearer to me. I tried to stand up and ran but failed only to remember that I was just a baby. The mouth of the deer almost touched me and I closed my eyes awaiting my end again but nothing happened. I peeked a single eyelid open and saw that deer looked around the village stretching its head in every direction as if searching for something. As I saw this I noticed a blur storming out of the forest and running to the deer. The deer dodged by a hairs breath and jumped a distance of 20m away from the blur. As the blur stood still the middle aged old man could be seen. The man seeing his dead wife rushed over to her lifeless body. The deer used the chance and ran to the forest. The man began to cry and stood beside the lifeless body of his wife. He began to let blood lust out and searched for the deer in his rage. When he saw the deer it was already at the edge of the forest. As the man looked at the deer he saw how a crescent appeared on the face of the deer. He began to rush over but stopped as soon as he saw that a head appeared on the border of the deer¡¯s mouth. The head had black hair and lifeless eyes but still held a hint of it former beauty. It was his wife¡¯s head. The deer saw the next opening and sprinted as a brown blur away, in the distant only a ¡®crunch¡¯ ¡®crunch¡¯ sound could be heard and the man felt to his knees, crying to the heaven. As the man cried his soul out of his body I began to crawl to him. I was technically his son and I had no one else to rely on in my new weak body. After the long and hard crawling I reached the man and tried to speak with him, but only ¡±gaga¡± and ¡°ah¡° voices came out of my mouth. It seemed like my vocal cords were still to underdeveloped to speak but the old man noticed me. He took me into his arms and almost hugged the air out of me. I felt how a kind aura surrounded me and calmed me, but then the aura was replaced with a fiery aura. He looked me straight into the eyes and I did not know what to do. I tried to avoid his stare but this only made the fiery aura thicker. My breathing got heavier from the pressure and I had no choice but to stare back into his eyes. As he looked me into my eyes his face grew grim. It hit me like thunder. He knew it. He knew that I am not his baby and he was not happy about it. He put a hand on my head and the hand started to glow with a faint blue light transporting me into the dark room which I already knew. I was again in my old body as a greyish light and soon after the light of the middle aged old man appeared but this time there were only two lights in this dark room. The middle aged old man shouted and went around the dark room but nothing answered his call. The whole time I stood there like a tree not daring to move. I know that he searched for his son¡¯s light but it was already too late. I already took the body and mind over. I just hopped that he will still not abandon me and I did not want to further anger him by disrupting him. Abruptly the man came to a stop and rushed over to me. He put his hand around my neck. I had no time to react; the man was on a whole different level then me. He began to cry even if no tears left his light body. He then looked at me like a mad man. I shuddered and I knew I had to escape. I tried to push his hand away from my neck and started to kick at him but he began to lift me at the neck up and suffocated me. He completely ignored my desperate attacks and left me at his mercy. I did feel no pain, but I grew dizzy and nauseous from his choking. My light grew dimmer and dimmer every second. Soon I was only a faint flickering light and I wondered if this was the true end. Would this time my soul die too? Would nothing be left of me? Last time I killed people and lost my body. Now I killed a soul and I too will lose my soul. Every action comes back to one. As I was only a faint grey blur the man looked at me with his teary eyes in my true ¡®eyes¡¯. Then darkness came¡­ Where? Where am I? I am still alive? It seems like the gods had mercy on me. He spared me. Let¡¯s see I think I am in cr¨¨che. Really.. A cr¨¨che¡­ I think I am a bit too old for this. This houses looks... shitty. Straw as roof and wood for the walls and it seems like there are only two rooms. A kitchen and an all-rounder room with a bed, a table, some chairs and my cr¨¨che. The middle aged old man seems not to be here. He would not leave me, here would he? These last few weeks seemed to have changed me. If the visitors had a childish aura I am sure I had one too. But the experience I had in my ¡®spirit/ghost form¡¯ matured me. All I wanted in my previous life was to decide when I will die and so I tried to get an endless lifespan but the deer showed me one thing. If I want to live in this world longevity means nothing. I have to get stronger, stronger than anything that could endanger me. If in my previous life the humans were at the top and could dream to reach immortality then I would just have to reach the top in this world until nothing will stop me from reaching my dream. I got a second chance and I will use it! --------------------------------- I hope you liked my first chapter but I can¡¯t guarantee that the following chapters will be as longs as this.
