《Aries》vol.1 chapter 1. woken up in the void
Advertisement
“Hey... hey... wake up...” I woke up by the sudden voice that was trying to wake me up from my slumber.
I groaned and tried to move my body, but it won’t work, my eyes were open but I couldn’t see my surroundings because they were all blurry.
“Hey kid you alright?” I looked to the person that was talking to me in a worried yet stern voice, judging from the deep voice I would have to say it was a man by his mid twenties. I looked at him but still all I could see was nothing but blurriness.
“..Ah….a...ah” I tried to reply to him but I couldn’t make a sound, noticing my struggle to speak he said to me something that shocked me,
“It’s okay you don’t have to speak I mean what’s the point when all of us are already dead..” he said while looking up to nothingness, he was going to say something but hesitated because judging from his voice It sounded like he already experienced what I was experiencing.
I was panicking from everything that was happening right now because I clearly remember what just happened a few minutes ago... minutes ago.. .. Wait what did happened a few minutes ago... I can’t remember anything!! it’s like my mind can’t generate any memory from the past.
I was in a state of panic and I wanted to scream but, the man was quick and closed my eyes with his and started speaking to me in a small tone.
“It’s okay to panic, but that’s not going to help you... or any of us,” I started to think about what he said, I mean I’m already dead so what’s the point of me panicking, “all better?” I nodded. he removed his hand, and started explaining.
“Okay so here is the deal about what is going on, first besides you and me there were ten more people here that had the same situation like us and just like both of us they panicked, well some panicked but some were quiet and I think one of them said “finally!” I’m not sure what his deal was.
second is that one by one they started disappearing has soon had you showed up and they panicked even more, they even thought that you were the cause and tried to kill you but I protected you.
Third the reason why I think we’re all dead is because we’re in a void that is full of nothing but blackness. when one of them attacked me their bodies only went through me and were all semi transparent, that is what I have thought so far.
I think I’m going to be taken next because a woman just got taken away a while ago and to be honest I’m sacred shit!! So I want to tell you before I get taken away is that if this is a whole reincarnated thing then if I see you in the next life you owe me because I protected you while your body was sleeping.”

Through out the whole time he was talking I made a mental now of everything and wanted to thanked him for protecting me but before I could say anything his body started glowing, he noticed about his body and laid my body carefully down and got up..
“Seems like its time. now I know I said our body goes through and we can’t touch other but for some reason I was able to touch you physically and when I see your face it’s like my brain is itching trying to remember, that’s why I protected you, well my times up... See Ya kid” he said to me while he was smiling and waving at me, then with a bright flash his body disappeared with light particles still floating.
Now I was here lying on the floor not being able to move while so many thoughts swirled up in my head.
***
‘211... 212... 213... 214….’ After recollecting my thoughts I started getting bored so currently I was counting, ‘215... 216... 21. Ugh why can’t I still move my body’ a while back before the man disappeared I tried to see if I could move my body but I couldn’t.
‘300.. 301..’ it has been a while and my eyesight finally became clear, from what I could see the man was right there is nothing but blackness, I was about to start counting again until I heard two voices a muscular musky voice and a high pitch Childs voice.
”ugh I can’t believe we had to go thru the void all to just get a brat!! I mean why couldn’t we just teleport him to our chamber to finally finish things."
"Whose fault was it that became so mad that he broke the freaking orb that would’ve ‘teleported’ us in the beginning and besides I want to see the boy I heard his special."
"Ugh! it’s not my fault I was just cleaning it. ‘special’ my ass more like you want to meet someone the same age has you, you old hag..."
"What did you say!!"
Ugh nothing... anyway where is he?”
I can hear them, but that’s strange it’s like when they talk they talk together, like they are synched, crap I can hear them approaching, okay.. Okay.. Play dead.. Wait! I am dead *sigh*.
“oh here you are young boy, ugh we found him can we go now, sure..”
what I saw a person that had long hair reaching to the knees with a face of a young boy, if it was me i'd say this person's a trap.
the person was wearing a long white cloth covering half left torso from shoulder to waist, had white hair, and from the looks of it, its eyes are black and white.

when they found they just carried me like a sack and teleported which I presume is the bright light, when the bright light faded all I saw now what whiteness pure whiteness that made me close my eyes because of the sudden brightness.
“OKAY!!” he/she said had they laid me down on a big chair, with a big table in the middle with shattered glass, right now I was staring at he/she sitting in front of me.
“Okay so since you can’t speak let us explain everything, currently you are dead but you weren’t supposed to die right now, I don’t really know the reason but your other selves in other worlds died at the same time one by one." said the person, this time the childs voice was dominating.
"Ugh... we don’t the reason why but all of us lesser gods are trying to find out why this is happening, because the higher gods don’t want to deal with it." said the person again with a lazy tone, im guessing this person has a double personality.
"Now just like you the other eleven also experienced this but on different eras, it seemed like you and the second to the last were form the same era."
"Ugh So all of us lesser gods decided to do the typical thing, and that was to keep your souls safe in the void but has time got on it seemed that the first to arrived started to go crazy."
"So we decided to transfer your souls to bodies that have been dead and for years, it’s okay you won’t be a zombies because we will restore the body and also alter the appearance a little bit so people won’t notice."
"Now it’s quiet dangerous because the thing killing all of you is still out there and may seem to be able to go through worlds at a fast pace but seems to have a limit, because all of you guys are from different eras."
"Ughhh this is getting boring... Okay so here is the thing we want you guys to get stronger to at least protect yourselves because that thing is still out there and seems to only target you."
"So with this you can see your status” has soon has he/she said status I saw a hand penetrating my abdomen *Ack!* ‘it hurts!!!’ the pain was unbearable it was like a thousand pricks that was attacking my brain.
“it’s okay the pain is temporary, the reason we want you guys to see your status is so you guys can see your progress, now were nearly out of time so here’s both of our blessings”
I’m going to start calling ‘IT!’ because of what they did to me ‘ugh the pain!’ while I was dramatically holding my abdomen, both of its arms were held up to me and a bright green light flashed then disappeared,
*DING*
‘What was that?’
“Ugh finally, it seems we told everything, if you guys want to know anything else just look thru the help menu when you are already on your next life, OKAY!?!”
“””””””””””OKAY, YES, GOT IT”””””””””””
I think I heard multiple voices that echoed everywhere, but there was nobody here besides me and IT,
A bright light was surrounding me and I was disappearing, IT started approaching me and I panicked thinking what it’s going to do to me,
“relax I won’t hurt you and it seems the others already left, now before you leave let me tell you this, as soon as you’re in your new body you will get all your memories back from your previous life... well it takes time.
now for the others it will develop slowly because they for some reason retained some of their memories while in the void, so for hurting you, please accept my apology..” it seem the high pitched voice was speaking but as it slowly started talking it became more of a Childs voice,
It touched my neck and a faint blue light shimmered and disappeared, I think I can talk now,
“oh and I nearly forgot, all blessings are random but I chose something to help you throughout your journey, This is all I can do for you. you may not see me but I can see you, I’ll be watching over you...” her voice started to fade and before I lost my consciousness I said in a low voice.
“Apology... accepted” I saw a smile and then everything went black.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

The harshest of his many critics is the one who worries him the most: his father. A near-tragic accident renders Alex incapacitated. As he hangs on death’s door, he’s visited by the unlikeliest of beings: a demon. Their unfathomable exchange becomes even more troubling when he’s offered a second chance at life… in exchange for use of his body by the devil himself. Alex’s deal with the devil leads him into a hidden supernatural world, rife with mystery, danger, and a convoluted web of the worst the underworld has to offer.

I won't just drop it. Thanks to Papillion for the cover!!!)
