《The undead who yearned for life》5-The day my world crumbled

Jack point of view
In that moment, everything changed, it was like seeing the world again for the first time, even the colours became a mixture of white, black and gray; my head began to ache and everything began to spin.
When I finally was able to stand, I found myself able to look at even the tiniest details of the room.
After two minutes I could tune my eyesight to what I wanted to look again, no need to see as if through a microscope all the time, right? Now, the real question is: what I'm going to do? The organization behind Elize is nothing to scoff at, and I'm probably already in their scope.
Well, for now is better to escape from here, take my money, my sister and disappear to some little island for the rest of our lives... it's incredible of much money one can do with the title, they're enough to last me for three or four very luxurious lifetimes.
Leaving the hospital in this chaos is extremely simple, I even had the time to change in my normal clothes and retrieve my possessions; the only thing I can't understand is: what the fuck is this black string attached to people's heads? No matter what I do to them, they can't be touched (I tried this on a little kid, faking it with a pat).
They're of different dimensions (it seems it increases from as thin as a string to the size of a rope with age), and most of those strings disappear in the same direction.
Whatever, it probably has something to do with what happened during today surgery, I only hope it's not a virus or something like that; while observing all of that, I reached my third ATM, though I have a secret bank account, I see no reason to leave my money behind; now the last thing to do is to-

Ah, my smartphone was still in silent mode... well, better like this, my sister called me at the right moment, we need to escape from japan.
-Onii-chan, where are you? no, it's not important, I need you to come at our usual meeting spot right now, I know you can do it if you run, it's very important-.
What is my sister saying? Now it's not the moment for this kind of thing: -no, Julia, listen to me, we need to escape from here, I did something that can't be undone and someone is probably on my tail as we speak-.
-I know onii-chan, but even with that, this is more important, if you don't come here right now, you'll not be able to see me ever again-.
Damn it, I need to run, fortunately I'm at only ten minutes from there, it seems that they, whoever they may be, have already taken my sister, if not how could she know? In case that worse come to worst, I'll try appealing to them and offer my help to that organization, they don't have any proof that it was me whom killed Elise, her regeneration continued even after her death for short time, thereby eliminating all evidence... to other doctors, it would seems an heart attack as the only possible explanation.
-How many are there, did they hurt you?- I asked my sister, if they hurt her, I would make them pay the price for it in a later date, that's for sure; I'm already in sight of our usual place, just behind the corner.
-You don't understand onii-chan, this is the place where I can create the most ripples, and the only way to do it is by meeting you here... you know onii-chan? From that day when our parents died, you gave me the strength to continue to live... now is my turn to give you a push-.

I was still on the other side of the park, but I could still see everything clearly: the other side of the string connected to my sister was attached to a man who was running in her direction with a knife in his hands; before I could even move he had already reached her, thrusting that knife in my sister's heart and escaping afterwards, while the string dissolved in the air.
-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH, WHY GOD? SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING BAD, IF SOMEONE HAD TO DIE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!- .
I runned over to my sister side, but even I could do nothing about this kind of injury, even if we were inside the hospital, however Julia still had a breath: -don't cry onii-chan, because I already cried enough for the both of us, you need to remember what happened, I'm sure I died for a reason, even if I can't tell why, the ripples... finally....... spreaded-.
I stayed at my sister side for the next ten minutes without doing anything, what could I do now? And even if there was something to do, why should I do it? I spent the next two hours making a grave near the lake of this park, we always said jokingly that if one day, me or she would've died, that this place was perfect in order to rest for an eternity.
-Just wait, I don't know who they are or what they are, but I'll bring them all down-.
This is my promise on my sister grave.

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---
