Takumi slowly opened up his eyes, as he saw Nokado on the side of his bed. He noticed he laid back on his original bed.
"You finally woke up..." Nokado mumbled.
"Yes, I guess so-"
Suddenly Nokado charged Takumi. Takumi's eyes widened up. Nokado was hugging him.
"Listen up, I am really sorry… I should not have that." Nokado said.
Takumi could hear the sadness in his voice, he could notice Nokado was actually sorry. Later on the door opens up, as two unknown children walk in. Nokado and Takumi turn their way. Both had hoodies on, one had a pink and the other a purple.
The kid with the pink one looked really outstanding, while the purple one was exact the opposite, really shy. Takumi turned to Nokado, only to see his frustrated expression. Takumi then turned back to the kid with the pink hoodie. The kid was grinning.
"He finally woke up, I see..." The kid said, in the pink hoodie.
"Yes..." Nokado replied, turning back to Takumi.
"The one with the pink Hoodie is Rikishi Mika, and the other one is Tado M-"
"Just shut up, I can introduce myself too, you know?" Rikishi interrupted him.
Nokado's eyes widened up, following up with a grin.
"Oh, if you want to greet yourself that much, have fun." Nokado replied.
"With pleasure, you little piece of- ?" Rikishi was talking, until Tado grabbed his sleeve.
Takumi noticed that Rikishi suddenly calmed down because of Tado. How long was he unconscious? Suddenly the door opens up again. This time Ukato and Kuruka walked out of the door, only to greet him with a sigh of relief.
"Finally you woke up!" Kuruka said, hugging him.
Takumi hugged him back. "Yeah..." Takumi replied.
"You noticed our two new guests?" Ukato said, looking at Rikishi and Tado.
"Yes, I already heard their name too." Takumi explained.
Rikishi walked through the room only to jump into another bed, Takumi's eyes widened up, as he saw two more beds in the room. That means that those two sleep here, too. He didn't bother too much, cuz they both looked like a huge drag to take with. Rikishi made eye contact with Takumi.

"So… What do you guys do here?" Rikishi asked.
"We go to school..." Takumi replied.
Rikishi started to laugh. Takumi was pretty bummed about his reply.
"School? As if we will get a good education in our life… We have just met and I already think you are the most stupid here." Rikishi said, as he stood up.
Takumi was not in the mood of a fight, but if he continues…
"You actually believe those two? As if they will make our life way better. I bet you believe them, don't you?" Rikishi asked.
The four of them didn't reply, looking down.
"What else do you want to reach in your life then..." Takumi mumbled.
Everyone turned to Takumi.
"... If you don't like the place, get the hell out!" Takumi shouted, standing up.
Rikishi grinned. "So, want me to bring you to the undead?!" Rikishi grinned, as he slowly reached his hand for his back pocket.
Suddenly Tado grabbed his arm.
"S- STOP!" Tado screamed.
Rikishi's eyes widened up, as he slowly turned to Tado.
"I… I am sorry…" Rikishi mumbled. As he hugged Tado.
Takumi and the rest were in shock, but Takumi then realised something else. Tado had a surigcal mask, but he didn't sound sick at all. Takumi walked to Tado, as he looked at his surgical mask. Takumi pointed to it.
"Why do you have that on- !" Just as Takumi was asking, Rikishi grabbed his arm.
Takumi slowly turned to him. Rikishi's eyes were filled with raging anger.
"Touch him or his mask, and I'll kill you..." Rikishi said, angered.
Takumi slammed his arm out of Rikishi's hand. As they had eye contact for a long while.
"So, first you mock me, and then act like the hero?" Takumi said.
This left Rikishi unspeakable, as he let out a sigh. Rikishi then grinned, just as he wanted to say something, the door opened up, once again. This time it was Ryan and Anne.
"Kids, it's time for din- ?" Anne was talking as he stopped when he saw Takumi standing up.

"Oh-... I woke up, hello." Takumi said, smiling.
When Takumi opened his eyes, Anne and Ryan charged at him, as they both hugged him. Takumi's eyes widened up, the same with Rikishi. Rikishi was frustrated and bumped onto Takumi, then walking out of the room. Tado followed Rikishi. Takumi looked at the way they left from, and then let out a sigh…

"Tado! Can you come downstairs and look for your brother!?" Tado's mother shouted.
"Hell no! I am busy!" Tado replied cold.
His mother let out a sigh.
"But, I need your help for a second!" His mother shouted, again.
"I don't care!" Tado shouted back.
"Jeesh… What a bad mother, I wish I could replace her..." Tado mumbled to himself.
Tado continued gaming until almost night time. His mother walked up the stairs, into his room.
"Tado, dinner is ready." His mother said.
They both walked downstairs
"What are we eating?" Tado asked, as he took a seat.
"Rice with chicken." His mother replied.
"Again? I don't want that shit- !" As Tado was talking his mother jumped up.
"Enough! You say what I do, I am your mother!" His mother shouted frustrated.
"You think I care?" Tado replied, standing up too.
"Why are you like this, what did I do to you!?" His mother shouted.
"I don't know! Maybe you should ask my father!..." Tado mumbled, as he bites on his lips following up with the most unimaginable thing ever--
"...You body-selling whore!" Tado shouted.
His mothers eyes widened up.
"W-...What did you say?" His mother followed up, looking down.
"I said you body- !" Tado was shouting as he looked at his mother.
She had her hand on her face. Tado noticed this disgusting grin on her face.
"Ah… A whore, huh?" His mother said, grinning.
Her mother slowly walked to a drawer, grabbing out a sewing kit.
"You have a really big mouth for a kid..." The mother said, slowly walking up to him.
"M- Mother- " Tado's eyes widened up as his mother grabbed him by his cheek.
"I'll teach you to shut your mouth." His mother said, as she pointed the nail on his lip.
"M- MOM! STOP!- !"
It was silent for a while. Tado looked at the mirror, with his eyes widened up…
His mouth was sewed and he could only open up his mouth a little bit, just enough to drink water. He started slowly sobbing.
"I- I'm sorry… I will never talk back..." Tado mumbled as best as he could.
He knew he had to unsew his mouth. Slowly reaching for the ropes. Tado grabbed a pair of scissors. He cut the sews, pulling the ropes out one by one. The more he pulled out, the more it hurted him. When he was finished there was blood everywhere on his face. He washed his face and looked back to the mirror.
Tado noticed the holes he had around his lips. He knew those wounds would never heal anymore. It looked disgusting, so he looked around the place to cover his mouth. He saw a surgical mask on the drawer, so he put it on. His mother slowly opened the door. He quickly turned and leaned into a corner, feared.
"W- W- What is it, M- Mom?" Tado asked.
His mother grinned.
"The surgical mask looks good on you..." His mother said, slowly closing the door back.
"...Never take that off your disgusting mouth." She followed up, walking off.
Tado's eyes widened up, as he slowly collapsed in fear. He started tearing up.
As his mother walked downstairs, someone was peeking through a room on the second floor.
His eyes widened up as he could hear Tado cry.
His scared face slowly turned into a grin as he slowly grabbed a knife...

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
