《Re:Immortal》3. Don't trust the villagers
Advertisement
Who am I? Why am I here? I shouldn’t be here. I have better things to do… I won’t be crushed again. I won’t be killed again… Never again… I’m immortal. I’m immortal, I won’t die. Never again… I will never die. I am the god.
“You shouldn’t pray in places like this Adam.” a playful voice of a girl escaped the void.
Where am I? Am I sleeping? I don’t remember much… Flowers, a small shrine, and a goddess… Goddess of life… Why was I feeling bad? Who am I? Adam… Adam? Am I a boy? I’m not a boy, I’m sure…
“Don’t trust the villagers Adam.” one more time I heard a girl’s voice, and then she started laughing. At first her laugh was quiet, almost non-existent, but after a while it became louder, and crazier.
Who… What is this?
“Adam! Adam! Can you see me?!” Anna was calling me.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on her knees. I felt bad, my hands were trembling, and I had a fever. I felt so hot…
“Adam!” the girl shouted one more time.
“I c-can hear you. There is no reason to shout.” I said, and she started crying.
W-What happened? I came here with her, to this shrine… She told me to pray with her, so I did just that. When I folded my hands, I felt something… Something scary. As if I was hated, as if this shrine was rejecting me.
“W-What happened to you?! You suddenly collapsed! Have Jacob done something to you? Were you tired?” the girl was talking all the time, only making my fever worse.
My fever… What fever? I don’t feel hot at all. I don’t feel bad.
“Let me take a look at your head. You have fallen on the rocks. Something might have happened to you!”

I have fallen on what?
The girl took a good look at my body. She wanted to make sure, that I didn’t hurt myself, after I collapsed. It took her about ten minutes, to finally calm down.
“It’s a miracle that you don’t have any wounds. It must be a miracle! Thank Yuna for that!”
Thank Yuna? Goddess of life?
“Wait here, I will call the elder. He will get you to your home. Just don’t move from here!” the girl said, and started running away.
It’s not like I can run away from here. I looked around. To my right was this small shrine, with the goddess still smiling at me. It makes me sick. Just looking at her makes me sick. I can’t understand the reason. What is wrong with me? Her eyes, her dress, her smile… They are disgusting.
I slowly get up, looking at myself, to see if I have any wounds. There weren’t any. Was this even the truth? Have I really fallen on some rocks? I must have hit myself really hard, if that was the case.
I touched my head, but I couldn’t feel anything unusual. What even happened? Why have I collapsed? I felt good, and everything changed when I started praying in here…
“Adam! Are you alright?!” I heard the man’s voice, coming from the entrance to the forest. The elder was now running here, with Anna. I could see his worried face.
I’m glad that I live with people that are so kind to me… I’m glad I met them…
“Adam! Are you alright? Something happened?” he started speaking, when he approached me. He was tired, and breathing heavily.
“N-Nothing happened. I’m good.” I responded, and he smiled.
“Don’t scare us like that! What even happened in here? Have you been feeling unwell? You should have told us.”

I’m glad. I’m glad that they are worrying about me…
“No, I’m good. I’m telling the truth. I feel good now.” I said, and both of them looked at me.
Yeah, I feel good. Nothing really happened to me. I feel good. It’s alright.
“Come home. My wife should take a look at you.”
Yeah, he is probably right. I should be careful. People live only once… People live only once?
I looked at Anna and the elder. Both of them were now walking to the village, and I just went after them. There was no reason to stay here. This place made me feel uneasy for some reason. Yeah, I don’t want to stay in this place.
I looked back at the shrine. There were some rocks near it. Small, but pointy rocks. What is it? Some of them are a little red? Is this blood? No, it can’t be… Anna didn’t see anything, and I didn’t notice it before. I don’t even have any wounds…
Don’t…
Don’t trust the villagers… This voice… I remember it? A name… I’m sure that I remember a name. A single name. What was that?
“Is something bothering you?” Anna said, and I looked at her.
“Do you know the name Tiaris?”

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.
