"Wh..who are you?" Zeref was shaking in fear. His legs shivered as if he would pee his pants any moment.
"PFFHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA" Demonic laugh echoed inside this room, Zeref's whole body froze in fear, just for a little while, until in a panicked state Zeref's instincts flight or fight kicked in, opening the door became his priority, but this time, lady luck didn't save him, the door was locked.
"you saw it right? It's quite easy to fool them all" Dein said with his demonic voice this time.
"How did you.." Zeref scowled at him.
"the demon core which your dad gave me, it enhanced my powers and restored it to it's peak. I'm literally invincible by now, just had to act to possess your body" he said.
at that moment, Zeref thought "Fuck, to think he possessed her, now he's after me, for fuck's sake"
"Lea...leave my sister alone" he quivered as he said, This fear of absolute power, paralyzed him. Dein rushed into him at great speeds, throwing him to an opposite wall. knocking him out as he fling to a wall. Zeref got unconscious.
"Argh" Zeref's bleeding was profusely, he couldn't move properly but then.
"What?" Dein was shocked about this situation, Zeref rejuvinated from all his wounds, from critical to a healthy condition. eventhough he was unconscious.
"Zeref, I underestimated you, now I understand why you were able to recover from that mana incident, you're a perfect fit to be my vessel" leaving Sylvie's body as he didn't blend inside with her soul. Dein entered Zeref's unconscious body.
Although it was the bad idea, he entered a realm which he couldn't describe, a darkness but with a closer look he could see stars, it was something much more imaginable to him, he felt something was looking at him. a goddess with peerless power, an absolute beauty which is too perfect to even exist, Dein stood at awe, excitement, fear and guilt, as she stood tall, towering beneath him.
"Who are you" she asked, a being that was Menacingly tall, on par with a celestial.
"I am here to server master Zeref" Dein knew that she was too powerful for him to handle. So he tried to suck up to her like a dog, until he could morph into something else and capture her. ofcourse she knew what he was upto.
"you think that would be enough to put my faith in you?" she said.
"Almighty one, I can you help in everyway you desire" he said foolishly without any hesitation.
"I admire your wits, Mr Dein, but I don't think you deserve such servitude" She said as she grinned cynically. it was at this moment he knew, he fucked up.
"you think a trash like you deserve respect? how many women did you raped, betrayed, tortured, killed and owned them to submission? you think such a man deserves my respect?" she said as she grinned with intense bloodlust, he felt a huge gap on his power between them, it was simply beyond unfathomable. He never had a chance to begin with,
"I can be your dog, or even lower than, just don't kill me please, I can serve you in any way possible so don't kill me, I beg you, O Almighty one, give this pathetic man a chance, one last chance to live" Deish pleaded for his own life, there is no other choice for him to survive, if she can manipulate him however she wants, but he wants to live.
"hmm, I admire your competence to strive for survival, even if you had to lower your pride, you're quite perceptive I must say, but"
"I mean seriously, I don't have find you amusing, especially a man like you, even if you were competent, this is the fourth time your sucking up pride. PFFFT, this is hilarious, to think an existence like you would die by my hands" she said as she stared at him. which made him alot more uncomfortable.
"Almighty one-" Dein begged for one last time.
"Shut up, you think fuckers like you deserve last chances? the moment you entered that body, you made a terrible mistake, if it were someone else I'd have thought of something"
"ARghh NO PLEASE, DON'T KILL ME AHHHHHHH" Dein was unable to handle it, as she wiped him out of existence. His soul and his will got completely obliterated, leaving behind an orb she created which had his memories and skills, she changed it too, often times twerked the memory on how Dein actually died.
"Now then, time to use this on Jordan" she smirked.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, his sister woke up, finding Zeref's unconscious body lying adjacent to her.
"Little browther, wake up" Celine opened the door, finding Zeref unconcious, worried she opened the door as she carried him. Arthur noticed that, and immediately helped them.
Arthur got worried, this time even Zeref was at threat. His peaceful days are already over, he thought of keeping a low profile and get rid of his nobility. But that would make the situation even worse.
So Arthur doesn't plan on doing that either. it would be a coward's move. Now all he had in mind is to train everyone on his family, Even his wife. Arthur was a mage in his youth, although he didn't used to practice swordsmanship.
People considered him as a prodigy, but eventually everyone forgot about his existence, hunting in dungeons and tombs, now he is considered one of the best combatants of this world.
Travelleing around different continents learning martial arts. He had so much experience on unarmed combat. so far proficient enough to rip apart mid tier dragons, and other giant monster with his bare hands.
"Well, since they asked for it, I'll turn my cubs into full grown Lions" Arthur smirked at the idea. Thinking about training his family.
Meanwhile, At Zeref's room, it's been 5 hours since he got unconcious. Sasha tried examining his condition. Checking on curses but there wasn't anything ominous. Arthur Jr was a bit confused on why this had occured.
"Arthur Jr, I guess we have a problem" Reish said.
"Problem?" Arthur Jr was worried, about it for some reason.
"Well, I think Zeref was possessed by Dein" Reish said, as he had great intuition just by looking at people's souls.
"What?, how could that happen?" said Arthur Jr, he did agree with him, but he couldn't stand his brother, in such a vulnerable state.
"Place your hand on his stomach" Arthur Jr obeyed Reish's command.
Checking his body, Reish used his perception to see what happened to him. He didn't expect Dein to possess his sister.
Unexpectedly Dein died because of Zeref's protection power, which amused him.
"He's fine, the spirit that possessed him, Dein got killed because of his protections, don't worry he'll wake up next day" Reish affirmed
"I see, glad to hear that" Arthur Jr felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Inside Zeref's mind.
"where is this place?" Zeref or Jordan asked, within these pitch black area with white shiny yet foggy clouds near him. suddenly someone hugged him from his back.
looking at his hands, he was surprised as he got back to his normal self.
"you must be Jorden, isn't that right?" she whispered. as she hugged him from behind.
"Who the heck are you?" Jordan couldn't move, even when he tried to.
"I am "̵͔̱̙͔̱͕̰̬͍͓͂̌̃̀̒̎̓́̒̕*̶̠̿̄͊̂̈́̊̊͗̐;̵̨̘͐̽̄̈̇̽̋́͠͠_̶̡̧̧̝͈̾?̶͍́̇̑͑́͛̈͆̍̎͂͌́̀̚_̷̨̛̬̣̳̪͈̫͕͔̞̮̝͓̻͌̊͛̐͐͌̎̏͜(̷̱̬͛̍͝(̴̛̙̰̫͍̑͆̓̓̽͛̄͐͠ " She hissed.
Jordan woke up back to his daily life as Zeref, he was creeped out as to whom it was, eventhough she was attractive. it'd probably haunt him for the rest of his life, but for now, it still remains a mystery. This dream was too real that it remained etched in his memories.
"what are these disgusting memories?" Zeref thought, as Dein's memories kept fleeting around Zeref's head.
He was the best mage from demon world, having been mastered both magic and curse arts of nether realm.
"Darn it, this Dein guy was an asshole and a pervert, although he's so proficient with good escaping skills, I freaking hate this guy" but then, Celine saw him wake up.
"MASTER" the maid hugged him intensely. Her breasts pounced on his head, this made him suffocate.
"Celine let go" as he tried to push her away, Zeref accidently grabbed her chest.
"Fluffy....wait a second" as Zeref kept groping her, he blushed but he couldn't control himself, Celine was a bit embarressed, but she decided to tease him, because of his age.
"it's still suprising, how mature you are, despite your age, do you want me to?" Celine said, in weirdly sexual manner.
"This body isn't mature enough for you, plus, aren't I just a kid" Zeref was embarressed but, he did like the idea of sleeping with her. It was obvious that she was teasing him.
"Then maybe, if you grow up, I'll..." but Zeref was mentally 25 years old, considering 5 years as his new lifetime, Celine was younger to him but, unfortunately, this reminded him of Trisha, the trauma wasn't something he could handle.
"I'll suck you up until u have no blood running inside" Trisha whispered in his ear, while grinning at him. from his past memories, as the trauma plagued him again.
"STOP IT, TRISH, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU" Zeref screamed, this suprised her. She didn't expect this reaction.
"Wha-?" Celine was perplexed and worried.
"Who's Trish" Celine thought.
"Zeref I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that, I'll take all the-"
"it's not your fault Celine, it's nothing, just nevermind" Zeref said
"Tell me, Who's Trish?" she asked worried about him.
"Ah crap, I shouldn't have said that" Zeref thought
"Well its...uhhhh" Zeref was clueless, he couldn't decide on making up lies anymore, he didn't have any ideas to make up excuses.
"Then tell me about your past life, you're too mature for a six year old" Celine said, filled with curiousity in her eyes. she usually believes in the existence of past lives.
"Atleast I'll tell her, she feels like a child waiting for her granny to tell a story" Zeref thought, since he had no other choice.
"My past life, well..my past life was in a world without magic, Humanity progressed with something known as technology" explained Zeref.
" I see, that's incredible" Celine was fascinated, to her, a world without magic caught her attention. Reincarnation from another world was something she heard from the made up folk lores.
Zeref explained the history of the his past self world. As he tried to minimize words as much as possible, explaining the different era's of mankind, their knowledge about the world. Until she got interrupted.
"it's time for lunch Celine" Arthur said, being back to his usual self but he seemed a bit more depressed. Until he saw his son woken up.
"Dad?" said Zeref. Suddenly Arthur hugged him.
"I'm glad you're okay son" said Arthur, but this reminded him of his Dad, on how much he loved him. even when he got bullied at middle school. it reminded him of his dad from his past life.
"Jordan I am here, don't worry about it" he said, his past life father who used to comfort him when zeref messed up with Rich kids.
"Dad" he sobbed as he teared down badly. Zeref hugged his new dad tightly.
After having lunch, Zeref explained about the industrial age, the jobs and every single technologies being introduced. Even introducing the rest of the origins from his world. And lastly, the experiences he had to endure in his life.
"Oh my, you must have been through alot, adding that, I hate that bitch." Celine's tone of voice changed, she even cringed at her for making him suffer, especially her methods.
"there are even many Jobs for them, it doesn't matter if they study or not, Rich people always have the upper hand" said Zeref
"Well aren't you kinda rich right now?" said Celine.
"You're right" he said.
"..."
"I'll be damned, to live in such a world, except I would love to see those works, it would be more peaceful if people didn't have superpower's there" Celine did want to ask him something.
"Maybe, I'm not so sure if the world would be peaceful, but more stable I guess" assured Zeref.
"Zere could you tell me more about entertainment and the moving pictures" Celine finally asked the question, she wanted to know about TVs and serials.
"Aight, so lets start from-" as Zeref kept explaining about it, Celine went to sleep, lying beside him. It was the first time he slept with someone, other than his mother and sister from his past life. Zeref felt glad, thinking about the new life he was having.
The next morning Celine woke him up, and then she said.
"Zere, I have to tell you something" Celine pats him gently.
"About what?" he asked without hesitating.
"Well-" Celine hugged Zeref, and then she said.
"Zeref, you don't need to be afraid anymore" Celine said.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Zeref was bit skeptical of her question, but she hugged him.
"I actually love you Zeref" she said, Zeref cringed in fear, the emotions he had bewildered him, reminding of his trauma again.
"I'm sorry? I'm not someone who's capable of love, I don't think love is real for me anymore" he kept denying himself, solely because of his own insecurities.
"But I'll still love you, no matter how strong or weak you are, no matter how much you deny it, I'll still love you, since you're an amazing guy" Celine said passionately.
Zeref couldn't hold back his tears, first time in his life. Jordan experienced true love, from someone other than his sister or mother. He felt euphoria, but even teared up. Zeref gripped himself on her.
After crying for hours, Celine kissed him on his forehead. and then, Zeref said.
"I love you too" said Zeref, as she smiled, gently rubbed his head.
"That's right, I don't have to be afraid anymore, Celine, thank you, In this new world, I'll make sure to live my life to the fullest" Zeref thought.
"hold on a second..." instantly he snapped back to senses again.
"I'm still a kid" he said, as she started sweating nervously.
"Uhm.."before she could convey him something. Arthur broke into his room unlocking the door.
"Sorry guys, did I ruin your sweet time, because we have more pressing issues right now. Hurry up, brush your teeth, go outside to the courtyard, both of you, it's time to work your asses" Celine and Zeref were startled by Arthur's words.
"Training?" both of them said.
"That's right shmucks, I did say it clearly, so listen carefully, for a couple of months or probably even years, all of you will training with me, everyone residing in this house. will prepare themselves for the worse, trust me, it's for your own good" Arthur smirked with an intimidating eye, and a devilish grin. Zeref and Celine gulped their throats.
A few minutes passed by, and we have all the family members training with Arthur, including some maids.
Then he sparred with Sylvie, practing his sword skills to her. She was a bit for fast for her age. Hazel eyes shown bright in sunlight but her cute complextion didn't make Arthur train her that hard.
Meanwhile Zeref, Celine and Arthur Jr sparred with each other.
"Thump!" Arthur Jr and Celine clashed each other with wooden swords, Zeref dashed forward with wind magic hitting them both when they were defenseless.
"Zeref, why are you playing dirty on us" Celine was visibly frustrated
"Yeah that wasn't fair" Arthur Jr was a bit taken back from his tricks.
"Sorry" Zeref smirked at them, it felt like they were being teased but, suddenly table's turned this time.
"Celine I have a better idea why don't we-" Arthur Jr whispered in her ears, they were planning something against Zeref.
"With pleasure" Celine accepted this plan. Smiling viciously.
"I don't like where this is going, are they teaming up on me?" Zeref confused. he would feel bad getting defeated by them.
Both of head straight towards Zeref, now he had to use magic to counter their skills, as he kept blocking all their moves. Zeref was sweating profusely. Until Arthur showed up. Thanks to Dein's memories and skills, Zeref was able to keep up against them.
"Who told you guys to team against someone" Arthur gazed with them with intense aura. Three of them got scared.
"Well, how about this, if three of you can hit me with that wood stick, I'll let you guys leave this session". Three of them agreed to his decision as they to attack Arthur. but none of them could reach him. Until Zeref accidently hit him on his leg.
"So I'm free right?" Zeref thought but unfortunately.
"Hahahhahah" Arthur laughed, three of them were in shock as he said this.
"Sike, that was a lie, thanks to Zeref, three of you will bear a greater experience now, don't fret, this is just the begining" Arthur stood in front of them, intimidating while they had shivered in fear.
6 hours later, Celine, and Arthur's sons were tired. to a point it felt like they became walking zombies.
"That old creep, I was thinking about having a leisure life and now I'm exhausting myself, dammit" Celine wasn't in a good condition.
"If my mom's a demon, then my Dad is, the demon king" Arthur Jr could hear his dad's laughter echoeing inside his head.
"Hey who are you calling a demon" said Celine furiously.
"Celine stop it, my ears" Arthur Jr's ears being pinched by Celine.
"Celine" Zeref asserted.
"Ah I'm sorry second lord" Celine apologized to him.
"Yeah-alright" Arthur Jr was almost unconscious, as he thud to lie on a sofa, until he drifted away into deeper conciousness.
"I guess we have a long way to go" Zeref said, judging by his own power difference. it felt like earth and galaxy.
"Yeah, you're right" Celine sighed in discomfort.
"Where's Sylvie?" asked Zeref.
"She's on her dance class, by next month, we're going to visit Gelraud's palace, because 2nd prince Forya Gelraud's birthday" answered Sasha.
"Why do we have to visit those traitors?" Zeref was a bit furious, the way Arthur Jr suffered, and the king's treachery. made him clutch his fists.
"Don't worry master, I'll make sure they'll regret as to what they did to Arthur Jr" Celine said.
"what's your plan?" Zeref was curious.
"I don't know honestly, but I'd start by spying them" she said.
Zeref was excited about his new life, oddly enough he never felt this happy, compared to his old world as Jordan Cage. Now he can be much more strong enough to protect himself.
"I'll vow to make sure, I'll live my life to the fullest this time" he said, as the broad new world kept him waiting.
