"Hah.....hah.....hah" a lone figure stood on top of a mountain of corpses, he wore a black leather armor that was torn and missing a few parts the torn parts revealed deep stab wounds on his body, he raised his head and looked at the carnage that happened here today.

Only his eyes were visible for his face was hidden behind the bloodied white mask that only had openings for his eyes if it weren't for those it would have been a faceless mask.

His eyes were cold and almost lifeless as he scoured the battlefield, he started walking slowly his steps were heavy as tho his legs were strapped with heavy iron balls.

His back was covered with several arrows that have pierced it cleanly.

"Hah....how much longer..." the man mumbled with his tired and hushed voice, he walked straight without a purpose he walked and walked until he saw the light in front of him.

He looked at it closely the light looked like a golden door, the light beckoned to him to come closer and without hesitation, he slowly walked forward.

"I...might just...let them kill me...already" the man mumbled as he walked through the golden door.

He covered his eyes with the last remaining strength he had in him, as he took few steps he opened his eyes he was truly confused as to where he ended up, he looked around and saw tall buildings with glass windows on them he saw signs and the road he recognized from his deepest memories.

"Am...I home?" the man wondered but his train of thought was interrupted by loud noise, "Put your hands in the air right now!" he looked towards the source of the voice. He saw a large group of humans dressed in green uniforms and helmets with black masks that covered their faces.

"Heh...I guess I am truly...back" the man let out a small laugh and collapsed on the stone ground.

"Wait!? Is he one of the chosen!? Damn it get the medics quick!" the voice that previously yelled at the bloodied and collapsed man yelled out commands in panic.

"Am I dead?" the man covered in black leather armor wearing a white mask was sitting down in a complete darkness, there was no ground no sky it was a complete darkness.

"No I guess not seems I am just dreaming again" the man let out a voice that sounded he didn't care at all that he was surrounded by complete and utter nothingness almost as he was completely lifeless.

"The last thing I remember..." the man spoke once again but paused for a second and continued on "ah yes the alliance launched their attack on me and after that...buildings, green uniforms, humans...I am back aren't I?" the man asked but no answer came as he was alone in that darkness.

A white light appeared in the complete darkness, the man looked at the light and just slowly mumbled: "time to wake up I guess".

The man opened his eyes, it took him a while to get his eyes adjusted to the light that emanating from the celling when his adjusted he slowly moved his head and looked around.

He was lying down on a bed covered in a white blanket, he saw strange contraptions that made a lot of noises they were all going "beep...beep...beep" he tried to move but he was stopped by the rattling sound near his legs and arms.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

He looked at them and saw that he was bound by metal rope no metal cuffs to the side of the bed both his arms and legs were bound he couldn't move an inch.

"Well, I guess I am not going anywhere for a while....at least I still have my mask on" the man mumbled and closed his eyes again in an attempt to fall asleep again.

But his attempt was crushed by the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes and raised his head as much as he could and looked at the person that entered, it was a blonde heard beauty that was dressed in a green shirt that exposed a little of her bountiful breasts her similarly green long skirt fluttered around but it did show a little of her slender legs that wore high heels that made "clack" sound every time she moved.

He looked at her face she was truly a great beauty with those green eyes, long eyelashes, cheery lips but the man was not interested in her in the slightest as the opposite sex he only looked at the items she carried in her arms, a pen and a notebook he thought to himself how is she going to torture him with those items, well it is possible to stab him with a pen.

While he was having all kinds of thoughts the blonde haired woman moved over a chair closer to the right side of the bed and sat down, she smiled sweetly at the man and spoke with a sweet voice.

"Good morning mister Aleksei how are you feeling?" the blonde haired woman spoke to Aleksei as she crossed her legs.

Aleksei looked at her without moving nor spoken he only stared at the woman, the blonde woman looked back at him with a hint of nervousness she spoke again "ah my apologies I forgot to introduce myself my name is Emily Sanders, I work for the united earth federation UNF in short, you are probably wondering what is happening right now but rest assured it will all be explained to you!" Emily spoke in an enthusiastic voice.

"UNG?" Aleksei spoke with his lifeless voice that made Emily jolt back from her constant babbling.

"Ahem, right we can start from there" Emily cleared her throat and began explaining the situation of the past 10 years.10 years ago large number of people age 17 to 30 started disappearing all across the world the higher ups of all the countries thought it was some new cult that kidnapped people so they didn't spare that much time in that matter.

But it was not long after that the strange beings calling themselves ancient ones arrived. They gave a message to the people of earth that a great threat is approaching earth a threat we could not fend off ourselves so in order to help earth survive they send the chosen people to other worlds to learn and to train themselves for the upcoming battle with the unknown enemy.

The ancient ones spoke that the chosen ones will return in 10 years bearing powers to stop the world from falling into the enemies hands and in 3 years after the chosen return the enemies will appear and the battle will begin.

The ancients told the humans to stop fighting between themselves and created a united earth that will stand against the enemies that come to invade.

"And so the UNF was founded exciting right!" Emily spoke with a proud voice but when she looked at Aleksei her blood froze as she looked at his eyes.

Instead of his usual lifeless eyes, they were almost burning with hatred, Emily gulped down and slowly spoke to Aleksei who she thought would explode any second.

"Um..mister Aleksei what's wrong?" Emily asked with caution.

"So...it was them...who sent me to that hell...ancient ones where can I met them?" Aleksei spoke slowly but with a clear hint of hatred in his voice.

"...Umm...you can not meet them they never showed up again after they disappeared the first time" Emily spoke.

"I see" Aleksei's eyes calmed down and his lifeless eyes returned which made Emily sigh in relief, it was strange she never felt such clear hatred before in her life, she explained the situation the world was in, too many of the chosen ones that returned to earth but this was the first time she meet someone like Aleksei.

"Mr. Aleksei what happened to you in the world you were sent to?" Emily was curious about Aleksei's situation as it was clearly not normal, well the whole transported to another world was not normal but his situation was a whole different situation from the other chosen. 

She looked at his medical file and she was shocked by what she saw in it, 80% of his body had burn marks on them, and the rest of the body scars not even a little of visible healthy skin was on him only burns and scars.

"Do you really want to know?" Aleksei turned his head around and looked at Emily.

Emily couldn't help but sweat a little as she stared into those lifeless eyes but she forced herself and answered Aleksei's question "Yes please tell me"
