Many men, one night
--
Throughout the years, me and Krea became quite close... I spent her entire life inside her body, talking to her, protecting her. Teaching, reassuring her when she was scared, giving her attention when she felt lonely. I know she love her parents a lot but i am still the most important in her heart.
What? You thought i had lobotomized her? Yup... That's right.. i did. But i told you i had became quite good at it... Since i acquired the mana affinity 'Cellular reversal' a few years back i refined my methods... Obviously.
Lobotomy is performed by cutting connection between some parts of the brain... With 'Cellular reversal ' i can fix them in a seconds... It's even quicker than cutting them. I now see lobotomy as a 'stop button' to the brain. When i want her to be conscious but still want to be the one in control... I cut the spinal cord in the neck region.
That way they are fully conscious, excepted they are only spectator, i am the one running the show. It feel the same way as having someone in your brain. So we could have conversations, i thought her everything she needed to know. I basically raised her... (Instead of raising my 'own-ish' sons back home).
And when she wanted to play or something else i healed everything, giving her back her body while staying warmly inside as spectator. During those 5 years, i did an amazing job at mentally preparing her to worship me. (Getting my drift?)
What kept me busy the most these last years was to subliminally whisper brainwashing messages at night to all the princes, the King and the Queen... The intel gathering took a lot of effort as well.. I took special care in identifying all the possible traitors, spies, 2 faced ministers, generals worshiping a little to much Andranis etc.
All those possible obstacles and traitors to the royal family have mostly been what i hunted down at night during these last 5 years. I always took great pleasure in making example out of them for the others to see. Ripping them to shred and stuff... As my plan had already unfolded as i expected, it was now time for the serious part to begin, i am simply waiting for news from Cellphone.

{Dring! Dring!} (Cellphone)
{Ha! Finally! So? Did they take the bait?} (Michael)
{HihihiHIhihi YESHH! A lot and lot of big and scary things are coming with them!!!! They have flying horned... things and wyverns, and all kind of new things! WEEEEEEE!} (Cellphone)
{Guhuhuhuhuhu exelent...} (Michael)
I had an anonymous intel leaked at Starium kingdom hinting them at an easy kingdom to take over due to civil war... And they took the bait as expected. Guhuhuhu* Part 3 of the plan can now begin!
That night i crept in all the princes bedroom and lobotomized them all. I also did the same with Krea whom i had already warned of this being needed. She had accepted it the best way a 5 years old can but since she was already used to it in shorter period... That made it easier on her.
She even told me that she would be waiting for me and would miss me. Such an adorable kid. In the morning loud yells and cries could be heard. A maid came in our room running and started shaking me.
“Princess ?! Princess !!! PRINCESS KREA!!!!!! NOOOoooooooooo!!!!” (Maid)
“Her too?? Nooooo sob* sob* sob* my babiesss WAAAANNnnnnn!!* WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABIESSSS!!!!!!!!???” (Queen Cristiana)
Father then entered my room with eyes filled with panic and sadness.
“Noo not her too... sob* sob* sob* sob* WHY GOD!!!!!!?????? ANDRANIS WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US??????!!!!!!!! sob* sob* sob* sob* ” (King Charles 3rd)
Seeing as the main actors are all reunited in the same room i enter the stage. I materialize my red glowing eyes into this body eyeballs making them glow powerfully. I then used mana to levitate a few inches off the bed. Seeing this my 'parents' backed away in panic.
“Aaa A a Andranis?” (King Charles 3rd)
I slowly turn the body forward to have it in standing position while still hovering. I trow a powerful glare at the king and give a frown. Then i start speaking while using mana to create a powerful and deep male voice.
“You stupid mortals... Worshiping an evil being, giving him power by worshiping him, then angering him... Not surprising i can feel Andranis curses all over this kingdom.” (Michael)

“Ww.....W..Who are you?” (King Charles 3rd)
Then glaring at him with my red eyes i started to vibrate my mana at a low frequency shaking the entire castle.
“Use your damn head and you will know deep inside of you who i am.” (Michael)
[...]
The one who broke the silence wasn't the king, but the Queen who got the answer right.
“Michael!!!? The God of Death??? GASPPPP*” (Queen Cristiana) The king almost fell to the ground after hearing that.
“Did you do this to our children???!!!!!!!” (King Charles 3rd)
“... Of course not, dumbass... I am only using your daughter as a medium to communicate. I am actually on my way toward your kingdom as we speak. Andranis as convinced the Starium kingdom of attacking you while your country is affected by her curses.” (Michael)
Their faces turned white, their eyes going wide filled with incredulity.
“Nn..n.nNo way!..” (King Charles 3rd)
“What??? Father did?????????? sob* sob*” (Queen Cristiana)
“You hold no chance of winning this battle... So i am bringing a bit of support but if you don't want me to come i can just turn around and..*” (Michael)
“PITY No! Please Help us !! Andranis has betrayed and abandoned us!!!” (Queen Cristiana)
Hearing her i turn my head toward the Kind and look at him in silence.
“P..p Please great God Michael, help me save my family...” (King Charles 3rd)
[...]
“I accept, it shall be done.” (Michael)
“Wait can you remove that curse from our children?” (Queen Cristiana)
“Huhmmm if they were in my kingdom, then with no problem yes i could. But since they are in a kingdom filled with Andranis followers and where my worship is outlawed, i am uncertain of having enough power to overwrite those curses.
Know this, Andranis is powerful but he is not a God. In this universe, there's only two God. Me and my brother Lucifer. Worshiping this fake God gave him power, but if your kingdom was to worship me i could rid it of his influence. Meaning, getting rid of all the curses in the process.” (Michael)
“You mean converting my entire kingdom to your worship?” (King Charles 3rd)
“Yes, stopping the worship of a demon for the worship of a true God wishing to protect your kingdom instead of destroying it. Otherwise i see no possibility in saving your children...” (Michael)
“When will you arrive?” (Queen Cristiana)
“I should arrive in 2 weeks, until then i can see things will degrade rapidly, stay strong my childs.” (Michael)
Immediately after finishing saying this i stopped all mana manipulations. Krea's body fell limp on the bed under her still shocked parents eyes. I then turned my attention somewhere else using my aura and started to observe everyone's movement. The ones i identified as possible traitors in particular.
I identify one of the general i had a big target on. He was far to faithful to the fake God Andranis to be on the King's side... He was a dangerous bomb waiting to explode. I established telepathic connection and told him:
{I am the great God Andranis! I can sense you are one of my faithful follower, so i bestow this divine mission upon you! You shall gather all the men faithful to me still inside this castle and come to the backyard tonight. I will bestow my blessing upon you.} (Andranichael)
“Yy yYyyEs! My LORD!” (Traitor General) He said out loud while hitting his fist on his heart which attracted a few curious gazes in his direction.
'Yesss all of you traitors at the same place, at the same time, outside in the middle of the night... Come and receive my blessings... Guhuhuhuhu*' (Michael)

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.

Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe.

Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.
