《Ambrosius: My Own Time》Chapter One

"Jo..."
"Jord..."
"JORDAN!!!"
.
"Haiz... Why're you yelling."
.
"GET UP YOU IDIOT!!!"
.
I hear someone yell, as I feel my arms lifted, and my body getting dragged. I groggily open my eyes.... and the sight before me makes me laugh uncontrollably in hysteria.
.
"ROOOOAAAARRRR!!!!!"
.
'A titanic black dragon... well, that settles it... I'm gonna die... again.'
.
'What is this? Where am I? Who am I?'
.
*BOOOMM!!*
.
Well... it doesn't matter as before I get an answer any of my own questions... my head gets dropped, and I feel a sharp, piercing pain in my legs. I lift my head up, and look with my bloodied vision, only to see that... I have no legs. My mind spins as the dragon lets out another ear shattering roar.
.
"ROOOOAAAARRRR!!!"
.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'VE LIVED AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF LIVES YOU OVERGROWN LIZARD, YOU CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME!!!"
.
I bellow out with a cracked voice, as a nearly transparent box shows itself in my vision.
.
[Do you wish for an eternal life, and time... a time that only you, and you alone possess?]
[YES]--or--[NO]
.
I squint, and blink rapidly, before I bring a bruised, bloody hand to the my answer.
.
[Accepted. Your wish will be granted as soon as you die your final death.]
.
I look at the screen in front of me in wonder and hope, as it slowly dissipates into nothingness.
.
'Life. Death. Satisfaction. Regret... I've felt it all... many, many times.'
.
I thought, as my consciousness slowly fades.

DING*
.
The sound of a bell ringing once in my head, brings me out of what felt like long nap. I try to see... but I cant. I try to listen... but I couldn't. Words won't flow, I can't taste, I'm unable to see or hear. My thoughts roam as I figure out my situation.
.
The only place that I could possibly be in... is a womb. All my senses aren't working... but I can move... although only a little.

.
Then... what seems like a minute later, I slip through what feels like a funnel, as light touches my skin.
.
I still can't see... but I can hear, and smell. I move my lips to sound a word, but all that comes out, is a cry. More specifically... that of a baby.
.
I internally sigh, as I find myself in an O' so familiar situation. I muster the strength to open my eyes, as rays of sunlight beat upon my new body, and I find another box in my vision.
.
[The wish of an eternal life, and time has been given. Two extra perks have been assimilated.
Perk 1 includes : Grade 10 Omni-System.
Perk 2 includes : Multiversal Soul-Assistant.]
.
My mind goes blank for a moment, as I look at the screen in front of me.
.
'What. The. FUCK!!! This is fuckin' awesome!'
.
I think a fierce and ecstatic thought, as I remind myself of the endless comics, novels, and manga I read in my many lives. I can take a guess that the system is something that will help me gain power, and even though I don't know how good grade ten is, just imagining an overpowered system makes me menially tremble.
.
'I think I know what the system is... but, what is a Multiversal Soul Assistant?'
.
{'Hello Master. I am the Multiversal Soul Assistant. You can ask me any question about anything, and I will answer it appropriately. For ease of access, I suggest giving me a name.'}
.
As if right on cue. A formal female voice answered my mental question.
.
'Hmmm... I think that I will name you Iris. As in the goddess of the rainbow and the messenger of the Olympian gods.'
.
{'I thank master for the name. I will be known as Iris now.'}
.
The voice of Iris was more acquiescent and beholden after I gave her her name.
.
'Iris, how do I use the Omni-System?'

.
{'Master can access the system by mentally or verbally saying the word status.'}
.
'Status'

I mentally smile as I read over the status panel. There's a couple things I don't know about, like the Ancient Moon Blood, but otherwise its looking pretty good.
.
'Okay. Iris, give me a description of each attribute and statistic.'
.
❮ ◈ ❯

'I'm seriously glad I've got you with me Iris, otherwise I'd be a bit slower on all these things. Also even though you're an assistant, I still like your company.'
.
{'Appreciated Master'}
.
With a mental nod, I look up at whom I believe is my mother. She has long and silky black-colored hair, with a beautiful face, and sky blue eyes. While taking a look around the room, I see a man whom I think is my father. He has the same silky black-colored hair as mother, but in a quiff' hair style, he also has sky blue eyes. Along with a handsome face, and a cool, white corporate beard, I'd have to say I have a beautiful family from the looks of it.
.
My mother says some comforting words then hands me to my father. He radiates a big smile as he takes me into his arms, but not before I get another notification.
.

I give an internal smirk, as I start to look forward to my new, eternal life.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
