《Al-Mos... Qui-t-o Live A Second Life》Chapter 35: Transform
Advertisement
As the controller had echoed in our minds, a sudden white light glows as it covers me, Gail, and Jant. The white glows were like a healing potion as the pain, wounds, or injuries were instantly healed while also strengthening our strength. We can feel now the strong power in our hands that is capable of killing an ordinary human with just a swat.
As the three of us were completely healed especially my wounds, chopped legs, and serious injury, I was woken up by the two with tears and worry in their eyes greeted me.
"Brother!!!" Jant yelled as he immediately hugged me. Gail was also the same as Jant as they tried to suffocate me.
"Grey! Why are you so stubborn?! Didn't we say that you don't need to push yourself?! What if you had died from that challenge?!" Gail yelled as she let out her complaint to me.
"I'm sorry, Jant, Gail. But.. I.. I just did it for our safety. As.. as I said.. I will protect you two from any danger even if it cost my life." I said to them as I tried to appease the anger and worry inside them. I was feeling a bit guilty but not regretful since my risk was worth it.
"And we also want to protect you, brother. You're not the only one who wants to protect someone that they love. So.. please... Don't put yourself in danger again, okay?" Jant seemed to become my elder brother which just make me comply.
"Well.. let's stop the drama now, okay? I'm fine and still breathing... As you can see. Let's just talk about the notification that the controller said." I tried to change the subject since it's kinda awkward for me now. And also, as possible as I can, I don't want any drama again since I want to live differently from my previous life.
"Okay.. if you say so." The two complied with me as we once again look out for our stats.
"Woah... Now that I look at it again.. we actually improve to Maniac state?" Jant, who didn't hear the system clearly as he was worried about me, was surprised as he become interested in levels.
"Maniac? Isn't it supposed to be level 1, 2, 3.. and so on?" Gail asked kinda curious.

"Well.. even though it's maniac or something, in the end, it still holds the same meaning, that we improved our strength." I said to them... making them agree with me. It looks like as if I'm the leader now, hahaha.
"You're right. And it's all because of you. If.. if you didn't get us 521.2 points, then we will only have 137.2 points." Gail said trying to put the acknowledgment onto me.
"Hey, it's not really like that. Luck was on my side and also, with your help as well. If you haven't given up, our strength will be divided into three, making our endurance weaker." I tried to explain what happened back earlier, making them enlightened a bit, or they already figured it out.
But I believe that they already figured it out and just act to not make me embarrassed since I know that those two were smart. And that makes me feel a bit embarrassed now that I know that they just act for my sake.
"Well, aside from our level, I noticed that we actually have a lot of functions now. Although I don't know some, but the more the better." I said as I was really surprised to see 7 functions.
"Yeah, and also, if not for the Able to mimic, I would already forget that we still need to defeat and transform into humans. I almost forgot it because things just changed too much." Gail said as she tried to transform into a snake.
"Transform!" Gail yelled and after a while.. her spider form turned into a form of a big red snake. Scale that was like a ruby, eyes that shine makes me unable to turn my gaze away from her. She looks stunning in a snake form, or maybe it's because I'm a spider now. I actually haven't liked the appearance of a snake ad I despise them, but now that I look at Gail, I actually like snakes now.
"Wow! Sister Gail.. you look so beautiful! Stunning! I wanna transform now as well." Jant said as he become excited to transform. He anticipate if he would look handsome in snake form.
"Transform!" Jant yelled as well and after a moment, he transform into a big green snake. Scale that was like an emerald, and eyes that was kinda enchanting, he look handsome in his state.

Seeing how the two transform into a beautiful form, I was kinda anxious and scared now to transform as well. I was sure that I would look terrible and will become unfit to be with the two now when we go on another journey. My self-confidence starts to submerge and since I'm kinda prideful.. I will not transform then.
"Brother.. why don't you transform as well?" Jant said as he anticipates to see how his brother will become. He was sure that he would look handsome as well, fitting to be with Gail. In their previous life, the two of us, I and Gail, look really good together that which makes Jant a little envious.
"Well.. it's not necessary. I'll transform when I need to." I tried to reject the offer.
"Grey, don't be like that. We want to see you in snake form. And also, our movements and safety will be enhanced." Gail also tried to make me transform, with her eyes shining looking at me with anticipation. Seeing that eyes, how could I reject her?
"Transform!" I anxiously said as I felt something familiar happen inside me. My blood boiled as if being placed at the highest temperature, while my body began to swell and stretched. It kinda feels painful but the transformation didn't take a while as my back become a long and flexible body with a tail, while my head enlarge and become a bit oblong.
With a white scale like a diamond and green eyes like emerald, I look like a piece of artwork that stunned the two, which makes me misunderstood since I have low self-confidence.
Jant and Gail's eyes widened as I had already expected this since maybe I look ugly and unsightly. I tried to hide my face by looking behind, but the two stop me and looked at me again as if just forcing themselves so they wouldn't make me feel bad.
"You don't need to force yourself to act as if I'm handsome. I accept that I'm ugly." I said downgrading myself getting an unexpected headbutt from Jant.
"Damn you, brother! You're saying you look ugly?! Well, I wish I'm as ugly as you!" Jant felt indignant as he was envious of my handsomeness that I didn't know.
"Grey, you're the same as before, negative. Have some confidence, okay? You look handsome now and even when we're still in our previous life." Gail said to me trying to cheer me up, that make me feel kinda embarrassed and shy. Her face was kinda close and I can't focus on what I should do or not.
"You two, you're making me ashamed now. Stop saying it already."
"Brother, you can't see yourself?! You look so handsome, like our dad!" If Jant has just a hand, he will definitely punch me already.
"Hmmp... Our dad? Of all people why need to compare to him? I just look more disgusting now." I said with a fit of obvious anger towards my dad.
"Oh.. you still hate Uncle?" Gail asked feeling complicated since she doesn't want to ruin the mood.
"Eh? Why do you hate our father?" Jant asked me as he was surprised to see me being angry at Jant. Well, it's also because I never tried to show myself angry, sad, or depressed to my brother, so to make them think everything is alright.
"Yeah. Dad is just a piece of sh*t!"
"Brother! How could you say that to your father? And also... yu.. you actually have this kind of side?" Jant was perplexed seeing me getting angry and saying bad words... not knowing my true self all along.
"Sorry, Jant. Our dad may look handsome, yes, he's indeed handsome, but using his looks to catch girls. Do you know how he change his girl every day from the moment our mom died?" I, remembering how my dad acted before, just makes my blood boil.
"What? You're.. you're lying, brother. How.. how could our father do that?" Jant seems to not withstand the information he acquired and looked at me doubtfully.
"Wait.. wait.. Let's not talk about the past, okay? We are in a different world now..so let's just continue our life and live differently, okay?" Gail seeing how a conflict would arise immediately remediate it.
"Okay." The two of us complied with Gail, as the main objective was already forgotten as silence remain and eat the room.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
