Chapter 46 - The Aftermath

Reiji awakes in a small house. humming outside fills his head. it's kind of sweet, but he can hear a tint of sorrow in it. Reiji goes to sit but can't he can't even move. reiji thinks to himself trying to remember what happened.

" Shit what the hell happened to me. I can't move I feel really weak. there's pain in my chest, and back. I can't even look at it. where am I?"

Reiji looks around where he can see not being able to move anything but his head. A sweet voice echoes through the room.

[???] Oh I see your awake.

Reiji looks on the old woman who had bags under her eyes, and tear stained cheeks.

Reiji questions "Who are you, and why xant I move?"

[???] I am Sasha reveille, and you are the one who killed both my children. Soma, and kana don't get me wrong I'm angry with you, but they needed to be stopped. My daughter especially I can not believe she'd burn her own village to the ground. My son tried to destroy the kingdom which helps us.

Sasha continues " to answer your second question my daughter had fused with a Mantolo type beast the tail she pierced through you has poisonous, and paralytic effects. The answer to your next question is no I don't hate you. I do wish there was another way, but I will not allow any more suffering due to my children.

Reiji is silent for awhile them speaks.

"I was going to say thank you."

Sasha chuckles half heartedly then says.

"well you seem to be in fine spirits. The one I sent to get you the herbs to cure you. He should be back in a days time. I am warning you though try to overextended yourself, and you will lose more than movement. you understand me?"

Reiji blinks in response.

Sasha nods "I'll take that as a yes. I'm going out I will see you when I return."

Reiji listens carefully for any sign of others around.

"status"

Reiji hashimiya

level ???

Race: dragonoid/???

"all stats unknown system interference detected."

Reiji mentally facepalms himself.

"How is this even possible I thought the system was unique. Do I have to start over from scratch? That would be bad, and there's only two months and twelve days until the schools entrance exams."

Reiji sighs "why have things gotten so bad? Why am I here?

A voice echoes in his head.

"Reiji did you forget about me?"

Lilith manifests herself. she is sitting on the table with a pouty look on her face.

Reiji closes his eyes " Just what I need when I can't move a magic sucking weapon."

Lilith stares daggers at him " Well fine I won't help you out."

Reiji moves his eyes too look at her." Well not like I can beg right? Besides we have a contract, or Did you forget?"

Lilith jumps down stomping her feet. "Such a troublesome master. if you weren't part dragon you would be dead. Those creatures have awful venom. With you I'd say it affected your nervous system. your transformation half complete when you don't know how to control your own powers. all this time others have helped you. at this rate you will be all alone."

Reiji rolls his eyes " look I can, and I can see that you are worried. thank you Lilith for all you have done."

Lilith tears up she cries while saying. " I'm sorry I am not stronger. reiji I'm sorry I'm so sorry."

Reiji looks at her sympathetically "this happened because I believed myself powerful enough for anything. If I could reset myself to zero, and try again i would.

A lot of noise manifests in reijis head

if he could move it would cause him to curl into a ball.

System notification

Would user like to use the status refresh feature? Usable only one time after use all stats will be reset to base.

Yes/No

Reiji has to think on his current predicament it is true he could reset himself allowing him to actually do this right. With the experiences he has had so far it could be a blessing. At the same time it could be a curse. Will he be able to protect those dear to him? What about all the other heroes summoned by the other kingdoms.
