I stepped into room with grey walls that were filled cracks the furniture scattered into pieces across the room, I looked at Mike who was holding his blade against Sith neck
'Finally that scum will get what he deserves' I smiled as the wind pulled my clothes to the shattered window
"Leo" my smile vanished when he called my name, he turned and looked at me "lets give him another chance"
'Again' I bit my lip as I looked at Mike expressionless face while Sith smiled with his hands raised to the wall
"Why?" I turned to the shattered window and looked at the glittering stars as my grip tightened on the gun
"I believe he can change this time" Sith nodded with a smile as Mike spoke but I wasn't buying it, we killed his lackeys to reach him and this would be his forth chance
I forced a smile as I walked over the cracks that filled the floor, Mike was the strongest awaken in our generation altogether his navy suit had a few cuts, his breath was still steady
"What are you going to tell the others?" I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him then a light suddenly stebbed my eyes as the wind rushed into the room, I squinted my eyes and looked outside at the plane with cameras
"tsk" I heard footsteps as I looked at Mike
He moved his blade away from Sith neck "hold him in place I will go and talk with the others" he patted me on the shoulder as he walked past me
I raised my gun and pointed it at Sith, the bastard smiled at me "you know I'm going to escape"
I clench my jaw this bastard had the nerve to look me in the face and say this my finger twitched to pull the trigger but I couldn't
"And when I do, I'm going to kill everyone involved in this" he moved his forehead infront of the gun, the gun glowed golden as I infused it with my my mana
I looked back at Mike, I couldn't hear what he was talking about with the others because of that damn plane
"I heard you donate money to a library" My eyes narrowed as I looked back at Sith "I will visit tha..
"BANG!"
"Thud"
'Fuck Mike' a hole appeared between Sith eyes, I smiled as his body fell to the floor
"LEO" I glared at Mike as I raised my mana to cancel out his mana
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" the floor cracked as he stepped closer, I raised my right hand and pointed golden glowing gun at him
"I did my job" I tightened my grip on the gun ready to shoot, then the wind went still
I looked at him as he grab the hilt of his sword
"Bang"
He slide left but my arm followed him "don't try me Mike"
He smirked "or what?" He tried grab the hilt
"Bang"
"Bang"
...
.
He dodged every bullet I shot at him but his sword was still on his waist
"I've always hated you know that?" Mike blurry figure spoke as I kept shooting then I pressed the but nothing happened, Mike suddenly reappeared in front of me grinning as he looked at me with those red eyes
"Why don't you listen" I felt something hit stomach but before I could look my body was already flying to a wall
"Thud"
"Ark!"
I puked blood as I was about to get up, I saw black leather shoes in front of me "do you remember how you used treat me in school?" Mike spoke
'Fuck' I shut my eyes this was the reason I hesitate to kill Sith, this bitch had always held a grudge again me for what happened in highschool
One day he suddenly got strong, then he crippled the guys that used to bully him but he never got the chance to cripple me because I always stayed out of his way since that day, I did my best to surpass him in strength but the best I could do was reach the top 4 of the strongest awakens in our generation
'I've become this pathetic' I clenched my fist as I waited for Mike then
"Enough" a familiar voice spoke, I looked outside at the flying bearded old man wearing a red robe
"Tsk" Mike walked to the others while I wiped the blood from my mouth, I sat against the wall and smiled at the branch manager
The old man sneered then flew away, I tapped my pockets searching for my cigarettes 'fuck I quite smoking'
I stood up and walked to the exit, the white hallway had blood on it wall and bodies on the floor 'that old man should have never put me in same team with that loser' I walked past the bodies and entered the elevator
I sighed as I leaned against the steel and pressed 1 'I should quite, I can't live my life around that guy and old man still hates me for breaking up with his daughter' I listen to the elevator horrible music
I could already hear the paparazzi interviewing the others as the door slide open, I tucked in my shirt dusted off my clothes then walked through the loddy that had few bodies
I walked through the glass doors with my head held high chest out and my arms swayed as I tried walk past them but they surrounded me
"Leo how do you feel abou killing a defenseless man?" One of them shoved a mic into my face
"He was a rapist, a murder and a pedophile, I made the world a better place by killing him" their lights blinded me as I kept pushing through them
"What make think your the law?" Another one spoke
"They should send you to jail" another one spoke
"Your scum" another. .
....
..
I stood on sidewalk signalling for a taxi as they hurled insults at me, I could see few empty cars passing me
'What did I expect' I glared back at paparazzi they went silent as I put my hands in my jacket and walked on the pavement
The people crossed the road when they saw me walk the only thing helpful was the honking of the cars, that drowned out the insults being spoken behind my back
I sighed as I looked up at the billboards and city lights 'I used to love this place' I waited for the light to turn red ignoring my face on the billboard
"Look he killed another defenceless person" I heard a voice of a women
"I know when will they send him to prison?" another voice
"He not the law...." the light turned red, I crossed the road my jaw clenched as I thought of every insult I had to take, I hated this city, I hated the people who lived in it
my hand moved to my gun as listened to their insult's, it was an interesting thought to shot at everyone here but that would solve nothing but the thought did put a smile on my face momentarily
I turned and walked between two concrete walls that had a trash can rolling on the ground, I picked up the trash can and put everything inside
I dusted my hand and walked to the metal door next to the graffiti, the place was busy as always
The rack empty, oil sizzling in a pan, spoon tapping against a pot, my eyes widen as I looked at three teenagers cleaning the mountain of dishing
I clapped, everyone turned and looked at me "who are the kids?"
"Those brats are the one that painted the wall Sir" the master chef spoke as she waived her hand telling everyone to continue with their work "Sebastain told them to clean the dishes as punishment"
"Tell him to pay them once they are done" the teenagers smiled "then they will clean the wall, if they try to run away tell me" their smiles melted
I walked past the steam wafting up from the pot of boiling pasta to the elevator, despite being hated by majority of people in the city I owned the most profitable hotel in the city
I pressed 30 and metal doors shut, my businesses profitability depended on people never knowing I own them, lately this hotel has been booming since Sebastian kicked me out
'I should give him a raise' the doors slide open, I walked on the dark murble floor I took of my jacked and threw it on the custom velvet u-shape couch
I smiled as I looked at the sword hanging on the marble wall, it was a gift from my father when he found out about my class
I took it off the wall, it was a two handed sword something useful to a knight
I walked to the center of the room, both of my hands had a firm grip on the sword as I closed my eyes remembering the times I trained with my father, I raised sword above my head
I opened eyes ready to swing then a golden circle with strange patterns appeared on the floor
'An embush' my muscles tightened as a pulled the sword close to my body,
the light surrounded me, I could no longer see the my marble room, my eyes stayed vigilant scanning any crack that might appear in the light then the light vanished
My eyes widen as I looked up at the beings with wings wearing white robes floating in the white void
'there are 8' the blade glowed golden as I covered it with my mana
"Mortals you have been chosen to be the hero's of your worlds.." The being with a crown of light floating above its golden hair spoke it had a figure similar to a woman
"The gods have chosen five of the strongest of each race to face the demons" It floated down I took a step back as it approached the white floor "the people of your world's have placed their lives in your hands should you fail they will die"
'Why does he keep referring to me in plurals' My jaw slacked as I looked back at Mike and the others but what suprised me was how calm they were, I looked at the other strange beings standing next to them
Those beings were similar to humans, some had pointy ears, some had fur or scales on the bodies and some were the size of a mini fridge with big beards
I gritted my teeth and looked at the being walking toward me "your bodies have been turned back to when you were teenagers" I couldn't move as it smiled and grabbed the tip of my sword with it index fingers
"the ruler's of the world we will send you to will assist you face the demons" My eyes widen as my mana instantly surpassed its self "right now you will use the coins you have to buy skill then teleport to Linux"
Blue panels appeared in front of my eyes showing names and coins of every person here
[Mike Skyheart: 3 415 747 581]
[Luna Nex: 2 345 876 765]
[Jennifer Liccx: 2 765 964 213]
[Alexander Bez: 1 054 798 999]
....
..
.
[Leo Enex: 498(+1)]
I bit my lip although I didn't understand what was going on I knew I was screwed when I looked at everyone numbers
"How do we use our coins and how do we gain them?" I spoke I needed to understand why my coins were this few
"No one told you" it looked behind me "Who is the regressor of his world?"
"Me" My eyes widen as I heard Mike's voice
"why have not told him" I glared back at Mike
"He was not supposed to be here, in my last life he was summoned by the demons" everyone eyes widen the being holding my sword smiled
"who was supposed to come in his place?" A ball of light appeared in its hand as my noise bled from the pressure I felt, my legs betrayed me as I tried to step back
"Thud"
"Ack"
"He killed him" Mike spoke then pressure vanished as I dropped to my knees and puked blood
The being stepped back and sighed "those coins are the lives that have been place on you, they are used to buy divine skills and the only way you can earn them is when people from your world bet on you"
I clenched my sword as stood up 'that doesn't explain anything' no matter how much I think about it the information it gave me still didn't explain why I'm here but I kept that question to myself as the other beings glared at me
>Skill Board<
Insight-> initial life coins and 1 parmenant life
Child of mana-> initial life coins and 1 parmenant life
"Tsk" the others smirked and some giggled as the looked at my board but the thing that annoyed me was it only showed cost of skills
"What is a parmenant life" everyone stopped giggling as the looked at me, the being smiled as it stepped closer to me
"that means someone has parmenantly placed their life in your hands, even if they wanted to change to someone they could never do it" the being looked at my panel "they will die when you die"
'That child of mana seems useful' I looked at my 'but I'm a knight my main priority isn't mana unlike mage's" I pressed on insight
[Skill assimilation complete]
"Such a waste" The being walked away, a golden glowing circle appeared beneath me
