The End Of Life Chapter 57
Advertisement
As Daisy left the living room, into one bedroom to take a shower, David sat on the floor in the living room. The couches were ruined, so they had to settle with this. As Daisy left, David turned towards Mark and asked, "What is your next plan? Do we directly leave the city or is there another place you need to go?"
"No, I am done... No wait, there is another place I need to check out. It's near the military camp. So, we can probably drop your daughter on the way and then go there." as he was about to say to another city. He remembered the small patch of trees he came through when he went to his house. He had a route on the map plan, which goes through the camp and then to his house.
It was a long ride, but he knew it would be a beneficial one. David nodded and remained silent. Mark looked at him and asked, "Do you have no other place to go to?" as his member, he at least had to ask him.
David shook his head and said, "As I said once before. Daisy is the only family I have left after her mother died." not going into too many details as to why. Mark appreciated the space he wanted and did not pry further.
Both of them continued to talk for a while and as Mark continued to cook for them. After a while Daisy came out of the bath and David went in. Silence took over as it was now only Mark and Daisy. Mark continued to cook, but then he heard Daisy's voice and looked up.
He saw Daisy looking towards him and asked, "Yes?"
"I asked what do you plan to do with my father?" with clear hostility. This girl amused Mark. The only impression he had was the scary kid. He simply shrugged her hostility off and said, "Nothing in particular. I want some trustworthy members and your dad seems to fit into the role. He is also a doctor, so it might be helpful for me in the future." not hiding his intentions, he told it to her face.

She was shocked at how direct he was and asked with more hostility, "So you will only use him. Don't you have any shame to use an old man like him." baring her teeth at her. Rei's amusement increased further as he heard her more.
He had a sly smile on his face as he said, "The world is ending. I am the type of person who will do anything for survival, holding on to something like shame will only worsen my chances of survival in the world. And I am not using you or your father, I saved you both. Your lives are in my hands. If I did not stop my jeep, you both would have been dead by now." not even looking at her. He continued to cook.
Daisy stared at him intensely as she couldn't retort to his statements. She could only snort and turn her head away. All he said was true. The little she saw after they let the store was enough to tell her people were not the same and times are changing.
She was scared out of her wits when they were trapped near the school, and the gunshots, while they escaped, made it worse. But even with all this inside her, she couldn't help but spit on him. She felt Mark was the most shameless man she ever saw and was worried now that her father is going to be with him. If Mark heard her thoughts he would laugh his it off.
After a while, David came out and Mark completed cooking the food. He bought it all out to the living room, and they sat down. They ate in silence and once they were done, it was Mark's turn to take a bath and went inside the room.

As Daisy noticed Mark go out and finally gain some privacy with her dad, she turned towards David and said, "Dad I need.." before she was cut off by David.
"Before you say anything, you are going to the military camp tomorrow morning. We will drop you off there." with a stern voice not giving her a chance to retort.
"What about you dad? If you stay with him, you will die."
David shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. It's decided that I will go with him and you will go to the military camp. This is for your own good." with absolute authority he had. Daisy reluctantly nodded and remained silent.
Mark came out and received a secret nod telling she was ready to go to the camp. All three of them retired for the night, Mark took one room while the father-daughter duo took another.
As Mark was asleep, he heard a noise waking him up. He quickly stood up, clutching his sword which was by the side tighter, and closed his ears to hear more. He could hear footsteps below and they were mostly human. He checked the time and found it was almost midnight.
A deadly smile emerged on his face as he thought who it might be. He made his way towards the living room and sat right in front of the door with the gun in his hand and the sword in his lap, waiting for them to come up.

Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for. A Man who's seen everything gets abducted by aliens and is converted into an AI that sits at the helm of a fleet of alien ships and behind the computer systems for most their planets. This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier. His life's been far too interesting(read: Scary, Inconvenient and Painful) in his opinion and he could do with a bit of normalcy.
