Jesse regained consciousness and felt a wave a daja-voo come over him, last time he sat there with the nine other people around him. These people were his “group”, people who’s spawn was set because of their genetic and mental qualities pulled them together, although nobody was selected leader, Jesse knew it would be him. The only fear that crept into his mind was, “What if they're not the same? I mean I am different compared to last time.” Jesse hesitantly turned around to see his team, and with a few friendly faces but one that made him say aloud “fuck! Not you!” Guess who it was, Troy… Jesse quickly jumped up cursing inside and walked to the middle of the group, all nine people looking around rather than at eachother.

Jesse quickly stood in the middle of the group and said aloud “My name is Jesse Bilyeu, I am supposed to be 16 years old, but I'm going to tell you straight up. I was reincarnated, I survived this place around fifteen years after today and when I died, I died as the last human alive. We are in something called a group, we were selected for this group because of our genetic chemistry and moral make-up.”

Troy had a look on his face of total shock and misery, he believed that Jesse was a lunatic and had gone nuts and he called him out on it by saying “my name is Troy Augusti, and I know Jesse, I bullied him in highschool and he was a total wimp, until two days ago he completely lost his junk and tornado kicked me in the face, I think he's a deranged lunatic!” Troy said aloud, making people believe him and move away from Jesse. Jesse quickly defended his image but not with words, but with action. He started drawing mana from his surroundings, activating his skill called “Mana syphon ''. It was a skill that allowed him to draw mana from everything near him, if he was strong enough that also mean’t people and other creatures.

Little known to Jesse, He had his skill roll over from last time, and upon the restart, he gained another one called “skill replicater”, it was a skill that allowed him to copy peoples skill’s when he took their mana. But unfortunately, his physic was not strong enough.

When he had drawn enough mana, Jesse took control of it and condensed it into rwo balls, one of fire and one of ice and he levitated them in front of him and then stated, “I have a skill that let’s me take mana from my surroundings, because of my reincarcination I have access to mine now, but you will get your skill when you kill your first non-human creature and depending on what it is, you may not be able to use it until you strengthen your body enough.”

All of them fell quiet seeing Jesse’s power and ability, then fear took hold of them realizing Jesse’s words, Troy felt everyone else’s curiosity and asked “you said non-human creature, what kind are you talking about? Dogs? Lions? Dinosaurs?” Jesse trying to not cause panic said “More like dragons and titans, but it’s a while before we see those, we are surrounded by three domes, in two weeks the first one falls, and we meet some decently strong creatures, in two months, the second one falls leaving the larger ones, like smaller dragons, young titans and demonic towns, with a few other type of humanoid monsters, and then in two years time, the last one will fall leaving us to the warlords and behemoths of the world.”

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

A shiver went down the nine people infront of him, as they heard what he said, they then asked “so the nine of us versus all of them?” Jesse quickly gave them reassurance by saying “no, their are 10 people every half mile in a grid like order, lucky people spawning in a castle looking place about three hundred miles that way”, Jesse pointed west

Jesse then said, “we need to start digging, underneath each group is a box with basic armor weapons, and a few strength enhancing pills.” Troy asked ”what do we dig with?” Jesse looked at him and said “with anything, your hands, feet, or even your face if we have to because in two weeks, these supplies will save your life”. Jesse then activated his ability for a few seconds until he pointed at a spot in the ground and said, “we need a three foot by three foot hole here.” Jesse detects the armor with his Mana syphon.

Troy and the silent others who let Troy speak for them all started digging, Jesse walked a few feet away from the hole, sat down in a meditating position. After half an hour, the beauty of the group said “My name is Rhonda, Why aren't you digging?” Jesse looked at her and said “I am collecting Mana, by looking at the hole, yall are about a tenth of the way there, but in a hour, Ill be able to shift the ground enough to open it up.”

Rhonda just looked at him and then went back to digging, Jesse was hysterical, although he already had enough mana to move it left from his example with the ice and fire, he was using this time to listen the conversation and gain a look at the people he would move with for as long as they still breath.

After time had passed and Jesse could see that his teammates had built some synergy, he stated “alright, get out of the hole.” Everyone got out of their 3 feet deep hole as Jesse started creating water with his mana, he then let it seep in the ground, froze it and drug it out, with the box at the bottom.

Jesse converted his ice back into mana, allowing the dirt to fall onto the ground. Jesse then brought the box out of the mound and opened it, inside was 10 spacial rings one was black while the others gold. Jesse picked up the black one and said “this ring symbolises the leader’s position, now we vote on who will lead.” Jesse then said “raise your hand if you vote for me” nine hands were raised as Jesse became the obvious choice.” Jesse then grabbed the remaining nine and passed them out.

Once their hands came into contact with the rings, their content’s filled their holders minds as inside was a set of light armor and a weapon that somehow fitted the holders prefernce or gene match-up. Jesse’s was a bow, his prefernce weapon before his death because he could form arrows out of his mana, which mean’t infinite arrows that was made of… anything.

Once equipped, Jesse said ”now will head to my mother, don’t worry she is on the way to an artifact temple.” and with this, his group started walking towards the north-west as the sun was about midway into the sky.
