《Death's Heir》Chapter 5: Waking up
Advertisement
Watching Maseru taking a seat as if he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary Light was truly pissed, grabbing onto the armrest of the chain, trying his hardest not to let his anger get the best of him.
"Truly Lord death you're just as bad if not even worst than the rumors described"
For the first time in the meeting Fate spoke up and it wasn't to condem Maseru's actions but rather to just make a general statment but even a fool could sense the praise in his voice.
After a period of silence Maseru sighed then spoke again in a calm voice there was even a pinch of regret mixed in.
"You sit atop every deity in the heavens and I am actually happy for you because that's who you've always been but I am not someone you can command like you do everyone else. The boy will stay brother, It was nice to see you I suppose"
While talking Maseru had already gotten up from his seat and opened up a portal the moment he finished speaking he stepped in it.
With Maseru gone 'Flea's power was finally unsealed so his body began twitching as it regenerated itself.
Fate finally started laughing when he took note of the 'Flea's twitching.
While Ellania was still sitting there with the same complicated expression.
By this time Light had already calmed down and was back to his usual calm casual self, Light had always been the type of person who'd never show his anger unless pushed over the edge completely.
It might be strange but what really suprised him was the fact that Maseru had actually called him brother after who knows how long.
When Maseru got home he went straight to the room where the still unconscious Azreal was; Maseru picked up Azreal off the bed and then vanished from the house appearing in a huge forest behind his home.

Infront of him was a tomb stone at the root of a huge tree that looked like it'd be there for millions of years. The tomb stone had all types of beautiful flowers growing on it some of the flowers had a slight glow to them, the grass for as far as the eye could see was lush green making it seem as if it was a paradise; This forest was known to everyone as Death's Garden but what very few knew what that this was where his wife was buried.
Maseru smile as he placed Azreal right next to the tomb stone then he sat down in front of it.
"I've finally brought your grandson to see you...."
As if his wife could hear him a gentle breeze started to caress Azreal's face.
"I want to make use of the natural energy that gathers here to help to recreate his body"
Once again the wind started blowing but no longer as gentle, lifting Azreal off the ground gently removing his soul from its shell.
The energy in the surrounding at first slowing started to go towards Azreal's soul then it got faster, Watching the energy going towards Azreal's soul Maseru released his own dark energy slightly over powering the purer one but it didn't fight back it allowed Maseru to suppress it.
After a few hours or perhaps days, no one was really counting Azreal's body was finally complete with a few slight variations from before but barely noticeable.
Once his body was reformed it slowly started to descend into Maseru's arms. Before he left he turned to the tomb; Looking at his face there was nothing but deep affection but also pain that was just as deep.
"Thank you"
After saying that he disappeared once again.
.............
A few days later Azreal finally woke up, looking around the room nothing seemed familiar to him.

So it wasn't a dream?...
When the thought crossed his mind he was clearly saddened but behind all the sadness there was a hit of joy.
He was looking forward to what would happen next.
After staying in bed for a few hours more he finally decide to get up and find out where he was. Only after rolling out of bed did he finally notice the changes on his body; It felt lighter as if he's floating.
Moving around the room a bit he felt a lot more comfortable, he hadn't noticed it before but comparing how his body felt now and before he died it was like the difference between heaven and earth, there was no comparing them.
What's going on?.....
Finally stopping to take a good look at his body he noticed that all the scars that he'd gotten over the years had all vanished not a single one remained before he could inspect his body further a gentle rhythmic knocking came from the door.
"Young master Azreal may I come in?"
The voice was soft and soothing obvious that of a young woman in her early twenties.
Young master?.....
"Uhmmm yea sure come on in"
Having been given permission to enter the young lady dressed in a maids uniformed opened the door and entered the room. She slightly lowered her head and introduced herself
"My name is Emma, Lord Maseru asked me to come and get you"
Lord Maseru?...is that the old mans name?....
When she finished her introduction and was about to raise her head, she paused for a moment when her eyes met his waist her face slightly red, After raising her head she then walked toward the closet taking out a suit of clothes for him.
"Ahem young master ill wait out side while you put on some clothes"
Not giving Azreal the chance to say anything she swiftly exited the room and closed the door behind her.
When Emma left the room Azreal took another look at his body only to realize that he really was naked but contrary to his expectations he wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest, he just proceeded to put on the clothes that were laid out for him then opened the door and stepped out of the room.
"Sorry about earlier I didn't realize I wasn't wearing anything"
"That's okay I understand"
With that said neither of them spoke for rest of the walk to the dining area, the entire walk had a bit of an awkwardness to it but Azreal didn't notice he was too busy look around at the house, well mansion that he was in.
When they got to the dining area Emma gave a bow then left. Infront of Azreal sitting around the table was the old man who he assumed was 'Lord Maseru' and the man he called Enron.
"You must be hungry, come and eat"
Maseru said with a smile plastered on his face, when Azreal was moving to a seat he was secretly inspecting his body checking to see if there were any flaws, notice that there weren't any the smile on his face only grew wider.
"My name is Maseru and this is Enron."
When Azreal was about to introduce himself Maseru raised his hand to stop him.
"We already know who you are Azreal and I am sure you have a lot of questions so just ask and I will answer"
When Maseru said that Azreal was very happy because he really did have a lot of questions but just wasn't sure if he'd get any answers.
"Well to start where am I?"

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
