《LONE: The Journey Beyond》41. The Council’s Demise.

HAAH-!
"Finally, it ended."
Reven muttered as he stabilized his breathing.
His wounds were also healing rapidly as his [Regeneration] innate ability kicked in.
Aimee and Aarav also arrived near him. Looking at his pathetic state Aimee asked with concern "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah I am… WATCH OUT!!!"
Reven suddenly pushed Aimee with full force as a [Blitz Bolt] landed straight at him.
It was Tyler, he was somehow still alive even after getting a wound which severed his body half.
As soon as Aarav saw this he summoned Ardor and formed a sword with it then he swiftly reached in front of Tyler and killed him thoroughly.
Cuack-! Cough-! Cough-!
Puuu…
Tyler's attack ended up severely hitting Reven's Heart region and injured him.
"S-shit!"
Reven lost his consciousness.
Truthfully speaking if Reven was ready for the attack then his cells would already have formed a natural barrier to protect his internal body.
But at this moment he was completely taken off-guard. Plus, he panicked as the attack was directed at Aimee so his cells and nerves became highly tense and his [Seamless Intuition] failed.
"Reven NOOO!!!"
Aimee ran towards him and hugged him tight saving him from falling to the ground. Tears came out of her eyes.
"We need to treat him ASAP."
Aarav said. As he called the emergency doctors in the Parliament.
-----
Mmm… Hmmm…
Reven snapped open his eyes only to see the ceiling of the room he was in. He then tried to look at his right side to Aimee sleeping with her head rested on the bed he was in.
He realised that he was in the hospital and was here because of the injury he got in the battle.
'Empress you there?'
[Reven I am here. Please command your wish.]
'Tell me how long I was out for.'
[13 hours.]
'The extent of my injuries?'
[Cardiac tissues are heavily damaged. Some of the cells in the heart are dead.
You were kept on life support for 3 hours after you were treated but after that your [Regeneration] took effect at the same time your Ardor is mending the damaged cells and replacing the dead ones.]
'How long till full recovery?'
[Full recovery estimated in 6 days.]
Phew-!
'That's good. I don't wanna spend a long time in hospital anyways.
Now then Show me my status window.'

Mmmm… Hmm…
By this time Aimee also woke up and looked at Reven with absent mind.
"Hey there. Though it was me who was injured but you look even more pathetic than me you know that." Reven said sarcastically.
Though Aimee really looked even worse than Reven right now.
How could she not be? She spent the entire duration when Reven was unconsciousness tensed and only dozed off about an hour ago.
Aimee kept staring at Reven blankly as tears started to run down her cheeks again.
"Hey… Hey… Hey you are making me commit a sin you know."
Reven continued as he moved his hands to rub her cheeks to remove her tears.
"Besides I am fine and with Ardor I will be back to full health in less than a week. So stop crying."
Aimee nodded fiercely but tears still continued to pour down of her eyes. If anyone saw the famous 'Mist Empress' right now they would end up having a heart attack.
Aimee then gave him a light hug. And said "Next time do not pull that type of stunts."
"Nope. You were at danger there and it was because of my negligence. Plus, even if it was not because of my negligence I would have still done it.
You are my family after all. And even if there is a next time I will still do it." Reven said with a dead serious face.
"Besides do I sound cliché right now? Because I feeI kinda do." He continued.
"Dummy." Aimee continued to embrace Reven.
Like that this conversation ended. Reven's days in the hospital also passed and soon about 6 days went by. Though he didn't need to stay here for 6 days he still did that because he wanted to give his body and mind some rest.
Today was the day Reven going to get his discharge.
He got his discharge as he and Aimee arrived back to their house. After relaxing for a few hours in the house and having some food made by Aimee they both left for the President's building.

A lot had happened in the past week, beginning with the total demise of the council.
The people also got to know that the decision makers in the council were the traitors. In fact, the other countries also came to know about this issue and frantically checked their own members too.
Next people were calmed down after the President himself appeared in front of the public saying that Aarav 'The War Hero' and Aimee 'The Mist Empress' ended up saving him from the council.
This made Aarav's already high popularity increase even more at the same time made Aimee an inspiration of many.
Aarav also announced his retirement from the army too saying that now he totally wants to focus in his cultivation.
Next thing was that the Guild Elections were cancelled for now since the President himself arrived.
All in all, the chaos calm down throughout the nation.
Of course the big part of it goes to Reven's planning beforehand which saved ISC many CPs because not much property was destroyed.
"Mr. President it's finally time to give you your rightful authority back." Reven said as he looked at the President.
'Empress initiate transfer authority. Code- PR09003121SHMES.'
[Initiating transfer.]
[Transfer taking place.]
[Completed.]
"Good. Now then that's done. Sir President I hope things like this never happens again."
"Don't worry about it Reven. This will not happen again. In fact after the guild system is introduced to the govt. I don't think there will much need for the army in the first place." Atal replied.
"That's good." Reven said and left the office.
Then he and Aimee went to meet the MHS and some of their friends for a celebration party.
"Hey everyone!"
"Oh… Reven and Aimee too. You both arrived." It was Vera who greeted as she saw them.
"Yup."
"Come have some drinks, these drinks are prepared with technology and can even make us drunk."
"Really! Lemme try." Reven said as he tried the new drinks.
Soon everyone started to relax themselves and enjoyed the party. All of them were lightly drunk too.
"Hey… Hey guys! Let's play truth and dare shall we." It was Ronny who spoke.
"Yeah let's play." Everyone complied.
With that they sat in a circle with a champagne bottle in the middle.
"There it goes." Ronny spun the bottle.
Soosh… soosh… soosh… soosh…
The bottle rotated and finally pointed at Geena with the opposite side being pointed at Emma.
"Truth or Dare Geena." Emma asked with a smile.
"Dare of course!"
"Hoh… So you dare is… to kiss Talos on his lips." Emma said cunningly.
Geena slightly blushed as she already had a crush in him but she steeled her heart and moved her face towards Talos who was just as flushed and then…
Started kissing of course.
They both lost themselves in the kiss and continued to exchange their juices for more than a minute. The faces of others also heat up as they watched them.
Unable to bear them the group finally spoke "Hey. If you two want to continue then go to a room already. Do not spoil the game."
With that Geena and Talos left for home to take their frustrations out.
"Well… Let's continue the game." Reven said awkwardly as he looked at the others.
The game continued for few more rounds and everybody mostly chose Truth.
Finally, this time the bottle pointed at Reven and the other side at Vera.
"Truth." Reven spoke without waiting.
"Tell me then what's the part of a woman you like the most." Vera asked with a sly smile.
Reven flushed red as he heard the question.
He knew why Vera asked this question. During the time when he used to stay with Aimee, he would always look at Aimee breasts and Vera's butt. It was to the point even Vera started to call him pervert.
What could he do?
At that time Aimee gave the 'Playboy' magazines. And he was a curious boy. The only thing which saved him was that he wasn't an adolescent so he didn't have a boner down there.
But after Vera called him pervert he swore he would never look at woman like that again and improve himself.
Which of course he did.
But now…
These types of questions were really embarrassing to him.
"Now… Now Vera. Let him off this time." Aimee interfered saving Reven.
"No Aimee. We also want to know our Reven's thoughts." Said Emma with a cunning light in her eyes. "Don't you also want to know Dave." She asked Dave too.
"Y-Yes… Yes indeed." Dave replied with a cold sweat on his back as he thought 'Sorry mate.' With a crying face in his mind.
The others also started to look at Reven.
Looking at this…
Kuhum-!

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
