《Next Life: Awakening》This is not a chapter, but a note from the author.

Two years ago, I began this story, and now, two years later, I have decided to revise it to match my increased writing skills, and sumultaneously switch to a third person perspective.
A number of outside factors have contributed to this, my health, depression, life generally taking presidence over hobbies, but now, in the midst of this quarantine... I find it's an excellent time to pursue this ambition.
In the time that has passed, both my over skill, my character and plot building have progressed, and just like many of us here, I am hoping to share the love I have for writing with others.
Over the next few months, and maybe less than a few, I will be editing each chapter, and changing the title to have a (Revised 2020) at it's end. So please, those who have followed me on the start of this journey, I hope you will stay as we finish it.
We are just getting started.

WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

So when SAIC Avalos tells her she has to take on a cold case, she doesn't have much hope of discovering what happened to Lacy Cooper all those years ago. But as she gets further and further into the case little Lacy takes up more and more space in her head and heart.

As a child, you were exposed to the deadly secret this world hid as fiction. You came face to face with Slenderman, an entity known for making children and adults alike vanish, as though they'd never existed.But you...you survived. After the experience, you were given the ability to see his servants, the people he'd brainwashed into becoming murder machines. You saw what you called their 'corrupt' form and their 'original' form. Despite the fact that you could see them, they never payed attention to you or the people around you.That was until you moved out to achieve your dream of being a digital researcher. After that, a particular attitude towards you changed drastically.(this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work.)
