Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
These were the sounds that Daren envisioned in his mind as a saw the sight he wanted to see most dearly in the last 6000 years.
Millions of space ships accompanied by countless Intergalactic Warships crashed with each other. Tens of different galactic empires were duking it out against each other.
There was no overwhelming victor. Everyone was losing together. Millions of lives are lost every minute.
Daren Utherena was a man who was trying to live a peaceful life as a regular citizen of a galactic super nation. One day, he accidentally offended a high-level government official by vomiting over him. Daren was drunk that day as his friends took him to celebrate his promotion at the weapons engineer company.
The next morning, as Daren was going to work, his hovercar malfunctioned and spontaneously exploded. This was the revenge of the offended politician. Luckily Daren got a second chance at life by transmigrating into the body of another individual at the other corner of the universe.
Daren tried to live a quiet and secluded life but too bad that luck had stopped for him as he died again in some unfortunate accident after living for a solid 35 years as a loner in a hacker's body. For around a thousand years, Daren had lived a total of 67 lives now he was in his 68th life.
"Finally!!!" Daren yelled.
'I have done it. I have lived my longest life ever. Today is my 6000th birthday in the body of a Tech Firm CEO. I have destroyed the balance that was set by these galactic empires and now I don't have to worry about being reborn. The world is coming to an end so even if get transmigrated back into the body of someone else in this universe, I won't live for long in this chaos.'
Daren was tired of being given a new life over and over again. Each time he had to live a dragged out and sorry life. Living for almost a total of 7000 years like that gets tiring and sends you to the edges of insanity.
Daren used his thousands of years of knowledge, professions, and talents to use countless tactics to turn galactic superpowers against each other. He did all of this while hiding in the shadows and using his hidden organization called "The Shadows of Nothingness".
Now that he completed the setup of his eternal slumber, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Daren found himself being flooded with some strange energy.
'Wait. What the f*ck? What's this feeling? Oh no!! I'm gonna f**king explode!' Daren was panicked but he soon came to accept his end. "It's over. This life is finally over. I didn't even have to kill myself this time. Goodbye cruel world and oh yea, FFFFFFF********CK you!!!"
Daren screamed out loud his final words as his body imploded with a burst of red and blue. His soul had left his body and was about to start disintegrating bit for some unknown reason, an inter-dimensional space crack opened up and sucked his soul in.
Soon the memories of someone new started to pour into the sea of memories in Daren's soul while a strange sound was heard.

"Waaaaaaa, waaaaaaa, waaaaa." A baby's first cries could be heard throughout the grand mansion.
A wrinkly, old woman could be seen in the Grand Duke's room holding the fragile newborn. The dull aura of short and hunchbacked nurse could not compare to the towering figure of the grand duke whose authority resounded throughout the entire room.
The 204 cm tall Grand Duke Cornelius Van Vorte was staring straight into the eyes of his first son. Contrary to his fierce aura, the Duke's eyes displayed the look of endearment. His parental love was something he developed since his dear wife gave him their first child, a cute daughter that they named Lina.
Lina was right beside the duke. She looked at her little brother with the bright eyes of a curious child that never saw a baby before.
"Congratulations Grand Duke and Duchess Vorte on a healthy boy." said the nurse. She handed the baby into the arms of the beautiful Duchess Liana who carefully held her baby.
Even after giving birth and immense amounts of blood, her face was glowing and showed no signs of weakness due to her ridiculous amount of physicals strength. The Grand Duchess was as strong as the Grand Duke but gave a more gentle feeling of elegance.
Her strength was known everywhere in the Zolaris Empire as the War Apostle of Levia. A female general that has won the countless battle and has never lost in a fight.
"Dear, let's name him Alex." said the Duke abruptly.
"Hhahhahahaaa. You really want to name him after the crazy father of yours. Look at our child's face. He looks so cute and innocent. His cheerful little face warrants a more fitting name like Flynn."
The Duchess did not like her father-in-law as he was a crazy man who spends his entire time hunting magical beasts and fighting whoever he can. He is seldom at home and usually outside of the empire doing his shenanigans.
"Pah! You got to name Lina so It's fair that I get to name our little boy. I choose Alex, not after my father but rather the Great Scholar Alexandros Porpo. " said the duke with a pout on his face.
The pout did not match his tough visage at all so it made the duchess laugh again. Lina also let out a little giggle.
"Fine, fine fine! Have it your way. Don't get too happy just because the great scholar was known to be a gentle and caring man. I get to name our next child. " The Duchess was content with her shameful husband's excuse as she knew that he idolized his father's wild nature. She knew the name was 'Alex' was going to be an homage to his father.
'I know this husband of mine will definitely try to train our son to become a forces user but I'm not going to let him. I will make Alex into a scholar. That will be a proper fit for his current aura and the nature that I mold for him.'
Duchess Liana did not want another fighter in the family as the entire royal family heavily consisted of them.
Yes. The Grand Duke was a prince and he is a royalty of the highest standard. A royal family's in this world had to have fighting strength or people would not be under their command. Scholars were hard to find but their existence was respected as rulers needed not just strength but knowledge o run a nation.
Scholars were often the ones that advised the ruling class in their maneuvers and the ones that taught the rulers everything they knew.
This made it to where not only was the ruling class strong, but most of them were overwhelmingly cunning. The gap of status between the ruling class and commoners has not changed for thousands of years because of this.
The door flung open as a majestic, alluring, and eye-catching beauty walked into the room. Her dazzling blue hair and angelic face, complemented by a devilishly sexy body, made her absolutely irresistible.
"Where's my nephew you little p***ssy!" yelled the beauty. Her tone did and her actions always matched her demonic looks.
"Big sister Melina I wasn't expecting you to come." The grand duke was utterly surprised at his older sister's arrival.
Without saying a word, Princess Melina strode towards the bed and took Alex into her arms.
She then showed a charismatic smile and rubbed the face of the now asleep baby.
"What's his name?" she asked.
"Alex Van Vorte!!!" replied the parents and sister. They were excited to start a new chapter in their family and expand its love.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Years pass and Alex was now 14. He was scrawny with shiny, blue hair and was now 167 cm. He was tall for his age but it was nothing compared to Lina who had grown to 200 cm. His mother was 202 cm and his father was 204 cm.
He still had a long way to grow.
Even though Alex had not grown physically, his knowledge was great as he was taught by all sorts of Masterclass teachers since youth. He would always help out the people in his father's territory and even advise his father on trivial things.
The family had grown too. Alex had another little sister by the name of Megan. She was adorable and blue-haired just like him and the rest of the royal family.
All the siblings got along quite well with each other and their parents. They also loved their aunt Melina who would always visit them and bring them cool gifts. They treated Melina just like they did their mother. With love, respect, and admiration.
They were living a calm and peaceful life in their prosperous territory where nothing was lacking. There was plenty of food, space, and entertainment to satisfy the commoners.
This was the case until Princess Marina killed Emperor Kont Van Vorte. Her own brother died at her own hands during a public speech.
Alex and his family were unwilling to believe the news they received. Too bad for them it was reality.
The rest of the royal family tried fighting back but to no avail. She slaughtered all of her kin. Not a single sibling or their family was spared. No one could understand this sudden and distinct change.
It was a storm that no one saw.
This civil war lasted for 3 years. Alex was all that was left.
Alex was distraught. Everyone he loved was dead. Killed by his mother figure.
"I'm sorry Alex. I know what everyone meant to you and what I represented for you but believe me when I say that this is the best ending you can get." Melina was holding the now 17-year-old Alex in her arms.
Melina stabbed her icy sword into the heart of Alex. "I'm sorry," she said as Alex took his last breath of air. Tears started to flow from Melina's eyes and rolled down her pretty face.
She got up and buried Alex into the ground with the help of her personal guards. Melina wiped her tears and left the forest.
5 hours later, the inter-dimensional crack opened, and out came Daren's soul.
