Rising of a New Reaper

Chapter 19: The Dream



I went inside my apartment and dropped off the things I had. I then took David off my leg . I then went to the couch to drop off David. When I turned around I was met with a surprise. Greysin hugged me and gave me a kiss.

"Why...did you kiss me?"

"You can't ask a woman about their reasoning to what they do." She responded.

At the moment I felt like I saw Evelyn shadow doing the same thing she was saying. I don't know why but think it was caused by the immense love I had for Evelyn once but I pulled Greysin into a passionate kiss. My old heart felt more relieved by each second I had with her. I knew that Greysin is probably going to hate me for what I done to her.

My eyes slowly dripped tears of joy. Once I was done I felt disgusted at what I've done. Consent and a good relationship is what I always prioritize but once I saw a glimpse of her all that went away.

I let go of her and immediately went to my room then locked myself in there. I sat down at the ground thinking about what I had done. Though it wasn't bad but I took a little advantage of her. I cried while I was on the ground.

The once hidden memories that I had with Evelyn slowly came back to me. I closed my eyes trying not to remember those memories. But It took me time to stop thinking about it and eventually went to the bed to fall asleep.

...

Crime still as high as it was in the past.

Caster City.

Below in the streets of the city we see an older version of Strat in the streets. He never knew why he was born in these disgusting streets of Caster City. Yet he knows that he's the same as these people that roam here.

In the distance he saw a strange shop that caught his eyes. He entered the shop and was met by the sight of many cybernetics that range from prosthetics to killing machines.

"Welcome to my shop! What the hell do you want?"

Strat ignored that last part and thought about what he wanted.

"What recommendations do you have?" Strat asked.

"Judging by the way your body is shaped I would recommend a full body reconstitution?" Said the shop keeper.

" The hell you mean a full reconstruction?"

" Well looking at your body I can see you have many limitations on what you can do. So I recommend this procedure." He said.

I thought for a moment before responding.

"Alright I'll do it. But I just need the risks of doing the procedure."

"The only thing you just got to worry about is just dieing." He responded to Strat's concern.

The shop keeper then gestured him to follow him. Strat just didi as he was told since the shop keeper is probably a professional. The shop keeper then told him to sit down on the chair and close his eyes.

"Remember kid, you have consent to this body modification. So if you end up dead it's not on me."

That's the last words I heard before I was sedated.

...

What's that feeling? Why am I shaking?

"...up kid. Wake up kid!"

I opened up my eyes to see the shop keeper trying to wake me up.

"Wake the hell up kid! The surgery was successful."

I stood up from the chair and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and touched my face. Damn I look very different. Looks like it was worth it. I then felt my phone vibrate. I took it out my pocket and checked who it was.

It was my brother calling me.

"Hello."

"Sebastian I need you come home." Said my brother.

" Alejandro, why now?" I asked.

"... just come okay." He responded.

" Alright I'm coming." I said.

I went up to the shop keeper and asked him a question.

"How much do I owe you?"

"Well since you delve Into my little experiment, I'll let you have it for free." He responded.

" Thanks, I got to go now." I said as I exited out the shop.

...

" Alright, I got him to come here." Said Alejandro.

The man he was talking to started to laugh.

'Oh I hope you can come here faster brother' thought Alejandro as he was knocked out.

...

"Might as well test out the capabilities of this new body of mine." Said Strat.

Strat then started to run through the crowd going towards his apartment. It only him 3 minutes to arrive there but he saw his brother being dragged with blood and bruises all over him. The man draggimg him noticed Strat and immediately ran away with his brother still being dragged on the ground.

Something snapped inside of Strat and he went full psycho.

"GIVE BACK MY FUCKING BROTHER YOU UGLY FUCK! HE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I GOT LEFT!" He yelled.

Strat didn't know at the moment what his own actions would result in something he would not like.

He ran after the man and ended up chasing him into an abandoned building. The man stopped suddenly and took out a gun. He began to shoot at Strat.

Strat already had a body that already surpassed the limits of a human so he was able to dodge them easily. He then went straight towards him but was immediately short circuited. He fell to the ground and had a full view of the man.

He saw that the man pointed their gun at his own brothers head.

"No... please don't do it." Pleaded Strat.

The man then pulled the trigger. The sound of the bullet heard. Everything came crashing down for Strat. The only family he had left was killed right in front of him cold blooded.

Strat only cried in silence before lifting himself off the ground even with his whole cybernetic system already destroyed he still lifted himself off the ground. He looked straight at the man and quietly said the words that activate the full potential on his new body.

"Activate, Limit breaker."

Memories of his brother filled his head. The times he took care of his brother like a son.

He took a deep breath before stopping time. With his new operational system he disappeared and attacked the man. But the man disappeared as soon as Strat got close to hit him.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU MOV-"

Strat was immediately hit in the face which made him crash to the floor. The man then grabbed both of Strat's arms and ripped them off.

"You really thought that you could defeat a god! Don't make me laugh."

He then proceeded to grab Strat by his neck and smashed him in the ground. Strat tried to lift himself off the ground by using the wall but couldn't.

"Don't even try Sebastian. You can't even fight anymore. Just look at yourself. Your barely even able to stay conscious." Said the man.

" It may look like I'm about to die but I can still fight. But before I do anything I want to know what your name is?" Asked Strat.

" Hmm...I never thought someone like you would ask but I'll tell you my name. It's Athen." He responded.

" ATHEN ONCE I GET UP I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Yelled Strat as he tried to get up.

" Any last words from the former God slayers Kid?"

" None, alright!"

Athen took the chance a stabbed Strat in the chest then ripped his heart out. He crushed the heart in his hands which left blood on the floor. He then grabbed his body and checked it for potential. But he just left it on the ground.

"Fucking idiot thought he could defeat a god like me."

Athen then went towards the body of Strat's brother and took it with him before disappearing.

A system screen then appeared in front of Strat.

[Automatic Repairing system has been activated]

[Total time needed for full recovery: 3 years]

...

Strat woke up immediately from the dream and fell off his bed.

Thump!

"What the hell kind of dream was that," said Strat as he rubbed his head.
