Chapter 1
Soul heart
The basis of all life currently existing in this world. This world right now is in the middle of the greatest catastrophe known to humankind, since the birth of their existence. Greater than any war, greater than any crime, greater than anything that was previously thought possible to man. The Gift. It appeared one day with no warning, without any remorse on human life. It tore us apart, but also made us stronger. What are the chances?
The year is 2045, and today is the 20th anniversary of The First Wave. It seems that man still doesn't have many answers, but I, I have given up all hope. I'm one of the last alive, left on this piece of dirt we used to ignorantly call home.
"Oh, looke herre", says drunken Joshei.
"Lokks like my times almost up"
I'm surrounded by unusual creatures, ones that are all too normal for me. I have thrived, I have lost family along the way, and today, I decide what happens to me. Trink! I am no one.
Five.
I was no one special, I have no reason anymore.
Four.
I have lost my life already.
Three.
The sky is purple, and the sound of the horns once again pierce my ears.
Two.
I look up and scream.
"You wanted this! Look what you have done! Fuck You!"
One.
Silence. And then…BOOM!
I close my eyes, as all I see on the horizon are the flames of a million souls about to be devoured by the black crimson fire. One, lone tear sheds off my face. I have sacrificed everything for myself, so as I go, why not purify all the evil that has come to arise so far. I can't smile. I'm engulfed by the demon heat…torturing my skin…little by little… and then…nothing…(P.S. This shit is corny as fuck)
This blackened space was no surprise to me. I had already guessed there was no god helping ss. Yet…
"Huh," I exclaim. "Hello, anybody listening!". My booming voice is the only thing reaching out into this vast space, with a puddle like surface. An entity I saw. A woman. Pure as day. A light, engulfed her body, 10 times brighter than the sun, no, even more.

"Zyleph"
What? Who is she? What is she? So many questions have appeared again, and ones that only are probably harder to answer.
"Time…Last…Hope…Destiny…Family"
Last Hope? What is this crazy bitch saying?
"Listen, I don't know who you are, my name is Joshei, but can you help…"
She zoomed up right next to my face. Her eye has black aura coming out of them, and she gave a dying look to me. She looked as she needed me. Her knees fell to the ground.
"Back… Save…Everyone…Knowledge…Power…God"
That word. God. It struck me harder than any a thousand Moonlit Knives. Always. Then, I was struck with it. Save. Everyone. Time. Back. Can she make me go back in time? She looked powerful and was only weak to due her state. Is she… A god?... I have the chance to save everyone! This might be bad, but what do I have left to give. I'm dead. I laugh in my head, as its pretty obvious is not possible right now. I'm somehow speaking to her telepathically.
"I'm guessing your name is Zyleph, right?" She nods her head. "Zylyph, send me back. I promise to save everyone. Everyone. No one will die before me!", I say as tiny drops are heard, coming down unto the puddles. "Ary…I will see you again…" Zyleph looks sadly at me. Gods are not supposed to feel sad. If they can, she would've saved me a long time ago.
"Responsibility…Mission…Knowledge…cough cough" she says as she starts dissipating. She connects her head into my nothingness. "ARGGGHH!". How do I feel pain? I can't stand this! Then just as everything was about to turn white for me, she says three words.
"Run…Awake…Invincible…". And then, once again, I disappear. I face another darkness now. I can somehow feel my body. Wait... why are my hand so small? If what I'm guessing is correct, that I was sent back to the time I was born, but it seems I can't open my eye yet to confirm. It seems I have retained all my knowledge and experience over those years. If I'm correct. Then I have been sent back approximately 42 years back in time. 20 since The First Wave, and 22 since my birth!
