nI woke up with a slight headache. My eyes slowly opened and I felt a tiny tingling sensation pulsing from my eyes. It was as though it would be the first time I would be opening them. That was true.

nI rose from where my body was laid and looked around me, still in a daze.

n

"Where am I...? Who am I...?

" I asked myself.

nI was still feeling a sense of confusion concerning my existence when I noticed something in the dark, empty room. A book...

nOther than the stylish, yet comfortable preservation contraption which served as my resting chamber, there was a table a few meters from it. On that table was a book.

nI paid no attention to the contraption which I once lied down in and just stood from, though it seemed strange. I went toward the book, as though I was drawn to it.

nThe pattern that was inscribed around it was so familiar to me. I used my hand to feel the book, texture felt so nostalgic as though I had a connection to it.

n

"Maybe this will help me discover who I am, what I am...

" I thought to myself.

nAs I opened the book, a brilliant flash of light shone, enveloping the room and blinded me for a moment.

nAs soon as the light penetrated my eyes and was sent through my nerves I could see it. Memories upon memories upon information began to enter my entire being. I was flooded with stockpiles of knowledge that I never knew existed. It was overwhelming. Painful did not even begin to describe the feeling I was feeling.

n

"Please. Stop.

" I pleaded.

nIt didn't stop. I wanted it to stop. It felt like my brain would explode from all that I was experiencing. Millions of years, eons flashed through my mind as I experienced every second of it. I don't know how much time passed while I was in this haze, but it felt like an eternity in a moment.

nThen all of a sudden, it didn't hurt anymore. The pain was gone, most of it anyway. There was only one pain left. The one in my heart. The pain of betrayal. I felt rage rise from within me... Rage unimaginable. It choked me and I felt overcome with it. I clutched my chest as my heart was beating with rage.

nThen I began to take slow deep breaths, I closed my eyes and calmed myself. Sooner or later I had to come to peace with it. And the sooner the better.

nThat very moment, I decided to let go of my feelings of betrayal and regret. Instead, I would turn those feelings and fuel my conquest of revenge on the ones who wronged me.

n

"I remember now... I remember everything

" I said to myself.

nIndeed I did, those countless eons I spent with my siblings, the ones I spent with my comrades, the gods. Everything was restored. Even my final moments, were all restored.

n

"Leviathan. Avalon. Sol. Gilga. Chronos.

" I mentioned the name of my younger siblings.

n

"I'm back!

" I smiled with a wicked grin.

nMOMENTS LATER

nAfter finding the book and recovering my memory I left the room, destroying everything within it and not leaving a trace. Since it was designed that way, it wasn't too difficult. I had made the entire structure as a countermeasure in case things went south with my siblings, though I couldn't imagine them actually betraying me and me having to resort to it.

nIn simple terms, It was a body I made for myself to inhabit. However, unlike other beings which existed in the world, this was made without the contribution of the other Aspects, not even mine. I made a body that was not reliant on the 6 Aspects, and as such, Independent of any interference from my siblings. The true definition of freedom.

nI kept the body in a contraption similar to a coffin to preserve it and also sealed the entire room in which I had kept the body. I used so much power that even if the entire planet had been destroyed the room would still be kept intact. I also kept a boundary and camouflage which prevented anyone to venture anywhere within 50 meters of the location.

nI spent so much time on its creation that being in this body now felt so comfortable. It suited my tastes in every way. I accessed my entire body and confirmed everything was just as I intended.

nThe features of the body include;

n- Young adult male (19 years to be exact)

n- Black hair, Red eyes, and a handsome face (Intentional)

n- A good body build, a bit over six feet tall with a well-proportioned figure

n- A large pool of energy which has accumulated over a long period due to the cycle process I imputed into it (The more time passes after its creation the more energy it stores)

n- Perfectly healthy and immune to natural physical ailments

n- The most important being that it is entirely non-reliant on any of the 6 Aspects to exist or function.

nA perfect vessel for me.

nThat said, compared to my past stature, this body was extremely weak. I had not only lost my aspect, but also all my divine powers and attributes. The only thing I had going for me was the knowledge of my past life as well as the anomaly of my body's existence.

n

"This much is enough,

" I said to myself.

n

"It might take me longer, but I'll definitely achieve my goals... No matter what it takes and who stands in my way!

" I resolved.

n

"Well, first of all, let's take care of this shall we?

" I said, talking about my nakedness.

nI immediately manifested clothing for myself. It was a dark inner shirt, a black and red cloak, and black trousers. My shoes were also black. This outfit suits me perfectly, and as much as I would admit, it looks really nice.

n

"This should be enough,

" I said to myself.

nI walked away from the deserted underground region where I woke up from, and following its destruction, I headed west. It wasn't long before I was in a forest-like region.

n

"As I expected, I feel no exhaustion even though I have been walking for hours now,

" I noticed.

n

"It must be another perk of this body,

" I added.

nI had gauged my entire form earlier before leaving in the underground room which I stored my new body. Since it was something I made myself I could turn off certain features or add others to suit my taste. For example, turn off pain receptors or remove exhaustion from my senses.

nMy new body was perfect and I couldn't wait to take it on a test run. That said, it would be more optimal for me not to get into any unnecessary conflict which had no bearing on my goals.

nI estimated it would take me a few more hours to finally leave the forest I was in, and I was steadily walking with that in mind.

nSuddenly, I heard a voice.

n

"Humans,

" I told myself.

nI enhanced my senses, especially my hearing and sight in order to better observe what was happening.

nAbout 50 meters from where I was, there were 5, no, 6 humans clustered there. They were all wearing armor and looked heavily built.

n

"Are they... Soldiers?

" I asked myself.

nThey looked different from how I remembered them. They wore armor made with Iron, and one wore a bronze-plated one.

n

"Interesting. Humans have advanced this far, just how many years have passed since I died?

" I asked myself.

nHowever, the most interesting aspect of things was what they were doing. In their midst was a female. She wasn't human.

n

"Elf? No... She seems more like a fairy, but... Where are her wings?

" I was a bit puzzled.

n

"Don't tell me...?

" I considered the thought.

nIf what I thought was true, then it would be interesting to observe the situation even more. Back when I was still a Primordial, soldiers were guardians of their people. While they were not as fancy as what I was seeing now, they were still impressive. However, from what I was observing, that didn't seem to be the case in this situation.

nThey seemed to be bullying the elf

/fairy girl. She had bruises on her body and she seemed to be in pain. I felt no remorse or sense of compassion for the girl. It was just the nature of the world anyway. However, I continued to observe the situation.

nI couldn't understand their language. That must have also changed over the years. I would have to learn it eventually, perhaps this was a good opportunity. The soldiers sneered and laughed at the weakness of the girl, who sat helplessly and rested her back on the trunk of one of the trees.

nOne tried grabbing her hand and saying words I couldn't understand, but as soon as he reached for her hand, she used her teeth and ferociously bit him. Blood gushed out of his hands as the bite was deep.

nThe man yelled and hit her head with his hard boot. She let out a painful voice but still stubbornly struggled with her teeth still sinking deeper into his hand. He kept hitting her until she had to let go of his hand. She looked weak, she would soon pass out anyway.

n

"HHUAIE AUHBW PAOAUE AUUYS KJAUE

" The soldier groaned in pain.

n

"The bite must have hurt for sure

" I mused to myself.

nOkay, I got bored of the situation quickly. None of what was happening was my concern. The last thing the girl did caught my attention, but what of it? Her fate was sealed. She was either going to be raped, killed, or tortured by the soldiers. Even the soldiers would have their reasons for being so rough on her.

nI began to walk away from the scene.

n

"Not my problem

" I shrugged.

n

"Why...? I trusted... You... Why...?

" I heard her voice as she muttered.

n

"She spoke in the old tongue that I understood?

" I asked myself.

nDid she know I was present? No... She had no way of knowing. There was only one other explanation.

n

"I know all the languages of the old races, she must have spoken in her native dialect. Interesting, so there are some languages that remain the same

" I thought to myself.

nI couldn't explain why, but I felt drawn to her. Maybe it was due to her desperation and her fragile nature. No, that wasn't it. Maybe it was due to the fact that she was in grave danger and she kept fighting. No, that wasn't it.

nSuddenly, her face turned away from her assaulters and I had a clear glimpse of her face, and for the first time I saw it... Her eyes.

n

"Those eyes....They look just like mine did. You... You understand don't you... What it means...

" I said to myself, turning back to the direction where she was.

n

"UEJEN WHJEI KOAEH

" A soldier said, raising his sword at her, and from the aim, it was going to reach her shoulder.

nIt would be a non lethal wound, but it was sure to cause her pain. I had seen enough of that.

nI quickened my pace and within a moment I was there. The soldier noticed me, but before he could stop the momentum of his sword, it was headed for my chest.

n

"Pathetic

" I stated.

nThe sword connected with my cloth, but before it could even penetrate, it broke.

n

"UUWH EHHA HEYWU WKWDET WIOUNS DA

" The soldier stated with shock, and the look of the others were similar.

nSurprise. Shock. But not fear... Not yet anyway.

n

"Those eyes are of one who has been betrayed by those they have trusted the most

" I said.

nI looked at the unfortunate soldiers who stood before me. They would have to die.

n

"It's nothing personal

" I thought.
