The Final Reincarnation
This all began when I was in my own world. I lived an average life, a student that was trying to finish college and get a degree. But life of course, had other plans, By that I mean I died.
Unfortunately I didn't die from an accident, I wish I did sometimes. But in reality the world I used to live in, the world I loved, was utterly destroyed at the hands of one single man. Of course after I died, I was brought to a world between life and death.
In that world I met a goddess who gifted me a power, a power that after each time I die, would forcefully reincarnate me into a different world.
With this power I tried to save the worlds I was reincarnated into each time, And I failed. So in the end I got tired of watching my friends all die while I tried to play 'Hero'
So now in this world I didn't save anything, I destroyed it all. I was used to taking the lives of others for the greater good, so killing for my own selfish desires was simple as well.
I became the Demon king.
I had no friends in this world, I didn't need them and I knew I would fail to save them anyway, so why should I even bother?
I went on a killing spree, Decimating each city I would find to the point that I was no longer even doing it for a reason, I was simply driven to the point of insanity.
The more I killed, the more heartless I became. At first I still felt pity for the lives I took, but soon I would find myself seeing civilians as mere numbers instead of actual people.
This would be the longest I've lived, And I continued to Kill and destroy everything in my path, until I met Her.
"Just give me one month pleaseee" I remember that day so well, She was not even scared of me, instead just thought I was some kind of joke.
I should have killed her right then and there, But I decided to spare her, to see what she would do.
And I'm thankful to have met her. She claimed to show me why I shouldn't kill others, but in all honesty, it felt more like dates.
But I would soon realize, I enjoyed it. The sweet and gentle way she spoke to me had me blushing, which made me confused on how to feel.
And her eyes, there was no light in them, Just like mine. I always wondered what happened to her for her to end up losing the light in her eyes.
Unsurprisingly, I fell in love with her, and she knew that...she knew that way too well.
"Hey Lucas?" I remember this moment. The sun was setting, we sat next to each other, against a Sakura tree and the leaves would slowly fall to the ground.
"Yeah?"
"If you love me...then please stop taking the lives of others okay?" She Asked. She played me like a fiddle. She knew how much I cared about her, But I also knew she cared about me.
At that time I saw the desperation in her eyes, the fear that I would say 'No' So I chuckled.
"Alright I'll stop, I promise" I responded with a gentle smile. I love her so much, And I still do.
I wish i could see her, just one more time.
"You finally arrived" I turned my attention towards the intruder that barged into my castle uninvited, I remained seated on my throne, unfazed by his presence.
"Why kill her?" I asked calmly. The man who was standing in this very throne room...was the very same man who destroyed my world, the world I was originally from.
"It was Something that had to be done" Even with a mask on I could tell he was staring at me, coldly.
"I see" I stood up from my throne, Reaching for the Spear beside the throne.
"You seem unfazed by the death of a loved one, I'm quite curious on why that is" He slowly unsheathed his sword, while calculating my every move.
"I've grown used to losing friends" I responded, The spear in my hands beginning to glow purple from the MANA I'm infusing into it.
He let out a small chuckle before pointing his sword at me.
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me the truth" His sword glowed a bright blue.
I jumped up from my throne, and he ran straight at me. I came crashing down with my spear aimed downwards.
As our weapons collided, Sparks, And MANA particles from our weapons were flying all over the place, lighting up the entire castle.
The moment my feet touched the ground I quickly jumped back to create some distance between us.
I tried to go all out, but I was far too exhausted, I didn't want to fight anymore, I didn't even want to win.
As we continued on exchanging blow after blow, He managed to land an horizontal slash that knocked my spear right out of my hands.
He quickly showed no mercy and stabbed me in my chest. I didn't react to it at all, I just fell to my knees while staring down at the ground.
My body was beginning to feel heavier with each second that passed, I knew my consciousness was fading.
"This isn't personal" He stated, He stood right in front of me, holding his sword tightly, ready to cut my head right off.
"Hey?" I called out, Slowly looking up at his masked face.
"Could you grant me one thing please?" I pleaded. He seemed confused by my request, but it seems he was willing to hear me out. He sighed before lowering his sword.
"Sure, but I'm no Genie just so you know" He responded coldly. I nodded, before telling him my wish.
"Take my power away... Please" I begged. He stared at me with shock and surprise, But he simply went back to normal before silently nodding and raising his sword once more.
If he can destroy worlds with ease, then I'm sure he can destroy powers as well. I slowly closed my eyes, facing the ground once more.
I don't need to live anymore, all the people I care about, they are waiting for me in the afterlife. My parents, my brothers and sisters.
I could feel the gusts of air, Moving as he began to swing his sword towards me. I stayed put, not moving an inch, it was as if time was beginning to slow down.
All the memories of my time with Her began to flow into my mind. A smile began to appear on my face, Excited to finally meet her again.
"Wait for me, Mira"
