《Unknown Past》Volume 1 Chapter 5: The Illusion of Trust, Part 12: Chates' Perspective
Advertisement
Power. Unimaginable power. Power to change New Vegas. Perhaps even the world! Power within my grasp!
For the first time in my life, I am in flight, soaring on wings of rhime. Descending from Heaven to punish those who have made this once fair city Hell! At a speed matching that of a rocket, I rush into the side of the rich men's complex. I hear them scream, then a few of them cough, trying to wave away the dust. As soon as the debris clears, they all look at me with fear in their eyes.
"You scumbag riffraff!" Dives yells. "What is the meaning of this!?"
I walk closer to him. As I pass by some of the other rich men, their rhime gets absorbed into me, causing them to drop to the floor in a comatose state.
"Stay back! Stay back, you monster!"
He hurls porcelain tea set pieces at me. A waste of money that could have gone to countless poor who are starving on the streets! He begins to back away from me and towards the wall opposite me. I touch the table in my way and it turns to dust.
"V-v-v-very well then! Electric Drive: !!!!"
He throws a ball of electricity directly at me, which explodes on contact.
"Take THAT!!!"
As soon as he says this, the rhime from the ball gets absorbed directly into my body. When the rhime is completely absorbed, Dives stares me, dumbfounded.
"That's...that's impossible!!"
I continue to slowly walk towards him.
"Waitwaitwait! You want money? I can give you money! Weapons! Drugs! Whatever you want! Please, fine, I give up! We'll change the system! Spread the wealth! Anything you want! But spare me! Please!"
I finally catch up to him and grab him by the neck. I make sure not to absorb his rhime so that he is conscious through the entire ordeal.

"You had your chance. For years, you tormented us. Made the system Hell on Earth."
I begin to squeeze tighter.
"You even sacrificed innocent lives long before you became wealthy."
Tighter. Tighter.
"And now you beg for your life!?"
I pull him closer to me.
"Let me tell you something," I hiss into his ear, "your life is fucking worthless."
And with that, I set his whole body on fire. His screams of agony are music to my ears! Finally, to see the man that made my lady suffer, made everyone suffer, is now suffering a thousand-fold in his final moments! This power! I see what he's desired, but unlike him, I can do anything! Anything for me and my brother! The world is our oyster! I am unmatched! Power! POWER!!! P....!!!!!!!!!
"URK!!!"
(What?...What was that? I was like...I lost myself for a second.)
As I ponder what the sensation was, I hear ringing in my ears. Ringing that...seems to be getting louder. Ringing...Ringing!...RINGING!!!!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everything around me is becoming a blur! Rhime! I need rhime! I need to consume rhime! Wait! Why do I need to consume rhime!? The world around me is beginning to changing color! Colors dancing everywhere! It's rhime! My rhime! All my rhime! This isn't my doing! What's going on!?
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
