Rising of a New Reaper

Chapter 22: Another one



As I opened my I was bombarded with notifications from the system.

[Fucking dumbass do you know how many times i had to heal you when that fucking skill activated]

"I was trying to protect everyone that care about." I responded.

[No fucking excuses. You know your fucking lucky that damn skill didn't drain your life essence or what is known as your humanity.]

[Not even the gods of this universe can handle that skill]

I just only handled the scolding that my system gave me. I never cared about the risks that the skill has. I've long given up my humanity. During the past or future people in my time have always gone psycho due to the cybernetics messing with their brains.

The cybernetics themselves are dangerous because of the amount of dangerous chemicals that can affect the whole body. That's why I went psycho a bunch of times. But another thing, even if you just attach one cybernetic you can go psycho. The only thing that can prevent it was to have someone to keep yourself company since that kept your humanity intact.

Corporations created a stim shot that could delay the affects but most of the time they shortened the time needed to become s psycho.

I stood up from the ground and looked around.

I then heard someone coming into the room I was in. I went on guard because it's probably an officer I forgot to kill. I don't want to deal with anyone right now so I went to kick out the person who entered.

But I was met with a kid. The size of this kid was decent, he had the same color hair as I had, eyes of determination, and.... Cybernetics. I wonder is this... Can't be him.

But before I was able to do anything, the kid used the same blades I have to try slit my throat. I blocked the attack and smashed his head to the ground which knocked him out. I then carried the kid and laid him outside near my door. I then wrote on a piece of paper a message.

Take this kid to his parents

I went back into my apartment room and closed the door. I looked at the mess that my room was in. While gazing at the mess I saw Greysin passed out on the ground. I picked her up and laid her on my bed for her to rest. I then communicated with the robot to come out since it's safe.

I went back to the living room. I started to pick up the trash that was left behind. Afterwards I got some cleaning supplies and deep cleaned the living room.

After cleaning up the mess, I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. The robot came out from where it was hiding and was holding David in its hands. I gestured the robot to come towards me. When it was in front of me I took David into my arms.

I gave the kid some milk and started rock him. While David was in my arms I started to play with his hair. I noticed a birthmark on his forehead. It was shaped like a lightning bolt. I still don't know who the kids parents were originally before they left him. Though all that I can figure out is that the parents must've been beautiful since the kid is pretty.

I brought the kid to his crib and left him there to sleep. I went to check the refrigerator if we had ingredients to make some food. I looked everywhere in the fridge and found some eggs. I got those eggs out and started to make some scrambled eggs.

I grabbed a plate and placed my scrambled eggs on it. I held onto to the plate and brought it to the couch to eat it.

After eating i looked towards the crib that David was in. I got up from the couch and went towards his crib. I looked down towards David. I played a little with his hair.

" I hope you don't suffer the same fate as I do..." I whispered while taking my hand off his head.

I walked away from the crib. I took out the entire computer that I used at the old temporary home. I then connected a cord to a microchip. I proceeded to download fighting styles that I could use in battle.Afterwards I inserted it into a slot in my neck and uploaded it to my brain. I say relaxed on the couch as the information uploads in my brain.

Throughout the process I felt lots of pain but I suppressed it. After it finished I went to the bathroom to put some cold water on my face. As I walked out the bathroom I saw a person in my living room.

" Who the hell are you!" I yelled.

*3rd POV*

The man only stood there and walked towards Strat.

"Your not Athen, who the hell are you!?" The man asked.

Strat looked at his hands. The man held Greysin by the neck unconscious.

" I'm the one who's asking the questions here. Why the hell are you holding my subordinate by the neck about to kill her?" Said Strat.

The man looked at Strat in disgust.The man loosened his grip on Greysin. In which she fell to the ground. The man walked towards Strat and stood in front of him. The man towered him by 8 inches. He looked down at Strat.

"You call that a subordinate. How low does a god go to have a subordinate like that!" Said the man.

"Please refrain from calling my subordinate weak. I despise people who walk over the weak." Responded Strat.

The man grabbed Strat by the neck and threw him out the window. The man followed him afterwards.

Strat looked up towards the man as he fell.

The air touched his skin as he desperately tried to find what to do.

[ I recommend you to get a weapon from Athens vault]

"What weapons could even help me with my predicament that I'm in!" Yelled Strat.

[I can give you the Wings of Gabriel which would help you get a holy element which gives you a boost in health, Strength, and the power to go against devils or anything demonic. And also the ability to use the Power of Gabriel]

"Alright give me it already!" Yelled Strat as he was about to make contact with the ground.

[Weapon Granted!]

Right before Strat fell the ground, a white light enveloped him. A warm sensation embraced him before 7 pairs of white wings sprouted. Then Strat realized something.

"God fucking damnit! I could've used my armours wings!" Exclaimed Strat.

He controlled the new wings he now acquired and Softened his landing. But before he was able to put on his armour, he was shot by a bullet from the man.

[Status effect: Death]

"Fucking hell!" Yelled Strat as he felt his body slowly burn from the inside.

Strat equipped his armour before collapsing to the ground. The man handed on the ground and walked towards Strat.

"Why would Athen pick a puny human like you to inherit his power? Also what's this horrendous smell emanating from you?" Said the man while walking towards Strat.
