Chapter 8.1
‘What the hell is going on? I’m not their king, hell, I still haven’t figured out all this out yet.’
Without even blinking an eye at the surrounding Damien began to be lost in thought. ‘Adrian Miller, a high schooler? Yeah, this was his first year attending. He was in a car crash with four other people, and ended up in the hospital. There, he learned a little about my life, and gain a part of my memories. I see… he thought that everything that happened didn’t really happen. From there, his body started changing. He was hallucinating, maybe a trauma caused by what happened in the hospital? He thought that what happened in the memories would become real. Without knowing, he made it real. Even though it was in his head, what he felt, what he saw, all felt real. That kid thought that he would end up in the hospital again if he died. Thinking if he died, just like what happened in the memories, would happen again. He would end up in the hospital and everything would be alright, however this time it wasn’t a dream. He was actually living.
After arriving in that space with Veronica, he was confused. Was what he saw a dream, or was it real? It wasn’t real, but it wasn’t a dream either. The proof was that Veronica was in front of him. He couldn’t wrap his head around it, he wanted to ask her what was going on. He was losing himself, and he knew it.
She must have sped up the process of him changing. No, she must have sped time up instead. But why change into me? If he was changing, he should only have my memories and still be in control of this body. However, that is not the case. Adrian isn’t here, I am. He also isn’t in control of this body, I am. Instead of him having my memories, I have his.
I.. don’t understand. It’s like he vanished from this world, and I replaced him.
Impossible! Rebirth? No, it’s more like we were switched somehow. I don’t understand it, but, but we were switched.
Think Damien, think. The possibility for rebirth isn’t high, and a being who can even use the word rebirth must be high. A power that can only be used by a being classified as a god.
Everit! His logic doesn’t make sense! Why would he want the revival of Zome? Why would he want me revived? Special bloodline? Even if that is the case, there had to have been a way to get my bloodline without reviving me.

Ugh, why can’t I think of a logical explanation for this? What Veronica told me, I think forty percent of it had to have been a lie, but why? Maybe Everit doesn’t want me to know his real plan. Why? Is Everit afraid of being rejected?
Still, if Everit is a god, then he could bend me to his will. She did say he had to pay a cost to revive me, but what was it? I need to find out, I won’t fall for his plan. Things will not go his way.’
Damien had questions that needed to be answered, but he knew that he wouldn’t get them anytime soon. What he needed right now was power and authority. He needed to build a safe haven for himself while he could gather the information that he lacked.
If he wanted to survive on planet Zome, he needed knowledge. This is a second chance, and it couldn’t be wasted.
If everyone he knew had died, then that could only mean that the time period he was currently in was further ahead than his own. Veronica told him that ability didn’t change, but he couldn’t be certain of that. He needed to know other things about abilities, as well as the current state of the world.
He could only shake his head and laugh. Everit was smart, he only gave him a limited amount of time. With that time, he could only accomplish very little.
By giving Damien three years, it gave him enough time to gather strength and gain information about the currently worldly affairs. However it also kept him on a short enough leash that he wouldn’t be able to figure out enough about Everit himself.
‘Smart Bastard.’ Was the only thing Damien could think of at that moment.
Sighing, Damien took in his surroundings. His gaze was met by a crowd of people. Naturally they looked just like him, only a few things were different. They lacked the same features he had, such as a horn. Their skin color was also a lighter than his own, and their tails were fairly shorter.
However, Damien could easily tell that this town was poor. The clothes they were wearing wasn’t made of fine silk.
In his vision, he could still see a blue box hovering about. No one else seemed to notice this, so he thought it was special. ‘Is this the gift?’ He asked himself remembering what Veronica told him.
“Daddy, i’ve never seen a noble before. Look, he has five horns, you think i’ll grow some?” A childish voice could be heard in the background.

‘This gift, i’ll accept it.’ He said as he accepted the approval of this town.
Although the town itself wasn’t luxurious, it was a good starting point. He could slowly upgrade it and build up his forces. Slowly spread his rule to other neighboring towns.
As he said he would accept it, he noticed that the crowd of people opened a small gap to let another person through. Although this person had short gray hair, Damien could tell at a glance he had some sort of ability. He didn’t know what it was, but it was his gut telling him to beware of this guy.
In front of Damien, this guy was around six two in height, while Damien was around six six.
‘Who is he?’
The guy kneeled down in front of Damien, and crossed his hand on his heart. “Noble sir, if you would do the honor of being the Mayor of our town. With your presence here, we would surely shine above the neighboring towns.” As he spoke, he was careful with his words, making sure not to cross the line.
He was nothing but a small time Mayor who got lucky enough to find an ability. Just having an ability made you special, but out here, it only gave you the title of Mayor. He was the current Mayor of Advert town, but seeing such a noble person in front of him, he just felt the urge to give the town to him.
He didn’t have this thought until a moment ago, but no matter what, this was the right decision.
“I accept.” Damien finally spoke for the first time. His voice was cold, but maybe that was just by nature. He didn’t look down on these people because truth be told, he use to be one of them.
The crowd was bewildered, they couldn’t hold back their joy. They cheered, while some men took this chance to confess their love for their loved one. In the spur of the moment, the women accepted. Was it by their own will, or was it just because of the excitement. Whatever it was, they got lucky.
Just being given the chance again meant starting fresh. Given the chance to rule over a small town meant he could slowly gain power.
At this moment, Damien’s only goal was to spread his power and authority while finding out more about this world. He had things he needed to know, but no one to tell him.
With the way he looked, he could easily be able to take up residence in a major city, however that would require money. Also that would mean he would be under the rule of the current King, which he didn’t want.
He had goals before he got revived, but for now he had something else in mind.

As Damien gazed at the screen, he felt like coughing up blood. This was pitiful, he expected it to be slightly better. ‘Did I make a mistake?’ Advertisement Previous

8 172Curse of Change (Hiatus)
(Hiatus to work of my other fiction)What if the world was keeping secrets? Secrets so dark and powerful that one must simply be unaware of them lest they be destroyed. Experiments that are too horrible to reveal, hidden monsters too terrible to release. Darkness the overwhelms the light, power that trumps all, beings of ferocity unseen by the masses. What would you do if you stumbled across one of these secrets? What COULD you do?------------------------------------------------------------[Hey everyone, this is MultiBlitz15. Apart from writing stories for english class in school, this is my first time ever writing a fiction, so please bear with me. I intend this to be a story involving the ""what if's"" of life and the darker sides of humanity. The story will start on Earth but will escalate into something much, much more. That is where the fantasy tag will come into play. On the topic of tags, some of them may not be permanent and some simply haven't been added yet. Also, I DO NOT intend to include sex scenes or major tragedy in my fiction. While there might be sexual references and minor tragedies, there shouldn't be anything beyond that. Finally, this fiction is rated Mature 18+ due to the incredible amounts of blood, gore, brutality, and other stuff I intend to include. Thank you, and please enjoy the story!](P.S If you find grammar mistakes, please let me know in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it.)(P.P.S I finished adding more content to the previous chapters!!)

The dark drop has now completely changed its shape, and someone or something is born. ------------------------------- Note: The story is thoroughly planned from the start, and if you like long stories, this is for you. And My native language is not English so my grammar might not be that good but I am trying to improve and hire editors :).
8 88Zyon: The Alpha Of The North
Just as I think i'm going to make it out, i feel an arm wrap around my waist, lifting me into the air. My struggling does essentially nothing. I am incessantly weak, thanks to my non-compliant wolf. I feel myself being thrown onto the bed.I flip myself around to see him, standing at the foot of the bed, with his eyes darker than usual and a scowl set in. "I told you not to run, not once, not twice but thrice," he says. "You aren't going to like what I do now." As he leans down, I scramble towards the headboard, still on my back, my eyes never leaving his. "I told you I wasn't going to stay, why are you not able to understand..'' I'm cut short as I feel a hand wrapping around my ankles pulling me downwards harshly. I let out a scream as I kick my legs, trying to get out of his grasp. He wraps my legs around his stomach, grabs my wrists and pins them down, so he's essentially towering over me. I know what he plans to do. "Please Zyon, Please I don't want this." He looks at me and smirks, clearly enjoying watching me beg, "I don't care what you want. What matters is, what I want."------------------------------------------------Katherine is living a life of solace and acceptance with Daniel. With her wolf having become dormant, she has accepted the fact that she will live her life as a human. After all it was her own choices that got her here. Daniel, with whom she has fallen deeply in love is not her mate. She knows who her mate is, but has pushed him and all thoughts of him to the back of her head. She fell in love with Daniel before her mate realised who he was to her and she is adamant to keep it that way. Her mate, however, may not feel the same way.
