Aiden sprang up in his bed, drenched with sweat as he desperately tried to catch his breath.
"Oh dear lord!" Someone exclaimed beside him as people started gathering up around him.
"Aiden! Sweetheart!"
Aiden?
The boy stared at the woman, dumbfounded as she raced towards him. Her eyes burst into tears as she was sobbing and thanking God. The second she reached Aiden, she pulled him into a tight embrace and sighed in relief as she held her breath this whole time.
He remembered as God executed him. His words spilled venom in the boy's soul:
"Son, I'm sorry it had to come to this."
He gave vent to his rage as he perceived the circumstances, crying and shouting simultaneously.
"Oh, dear, you are okay now. Oh, dear." Her mother cooed at him.
Five gods were ruling the world, and they owned the lackeys, who were also labeled as gods.
After the blue God himself visited the boy's poor excuse of a shack, his whole world was demolished. Aiden recalled as he was bathed in azure light, a chilling breeze ruffled his dense hair before he woke up in the prosperous resident, surrounded by the people who cherished him.
"Sweetheart, you are here now. Thanks to all might gods."
"Never thank those monsters." His voice was harsh and strict as he had a grim expression on his perfect face.
If he was given a second chance he would use it wisely. Good thing he wasn't in a state of dying out of starving.
"What is wrong with you, Aiden? Call the doctor. Now!" Aiden's mother, Loren, lashed out at the maids as she threw taunts and orders left and right at them.
"And never raise your voice at the maids," he murmured.
Aiden was a placid, pure-hearted being, but he went frantic with rage when he felt aggravated or came across with oppressing the lowers status.
"What are you talking about? Aiden!" The dark blonde-haired woman backed away a bit and threw her arms in frustration as she had her eyebrows furrowed.
Aiden lived as a useless peasant for longer than he could remember. Now He survived the wish of God and was given a second chance. He squeezed his eyes shut before he reached for the mirror on the nightstand and took in his appearance.
Aiden was a gorgeous young lord, eighteen years old at most, as he had sharp defined features, wavy brown hair draped in front of his eyes, which were glistening chameleon. Their color varied from sky blue to grey and green as yellowish sparks danced in them.
He snickered at his ravishing looks as he remembered how unpopular he was with the females. He was kind, humane, and loving even though he was an orphan, barely making it to the next day, but women never gave him even the slightest attention. Don't you think Aiden was unsightly; he was a handsome young man. It's just now he was another definition of dazzling.
"Aiden!" Her mother snapped back at him as she didn't receive an explanation for this stunt he pulled off.
"I'm different, ma."
"What do you mean?" Dread filled her eyes as she went pale like a porcelain doll and slumped down onto the bed not to faint right there and keep the balance.
"I..."
Aiden was cut off as the immense pain rushed through him. Memories of the new vessel flooded his mind. He was okay just knowing the former Aiden's relationships and status, but now the colossal information was plunged into his pretty head.
He let out a shriek as the woman beside him yelled, and guards burst into the chamber feverously, scanning the area for the enemy since the lords and their families were often targeted.
Soon doctor rushed in and took a look at the young heir of the Azure Sky clan.
"Oh, sweetheart! Oh, dear, God!"
"Stop it!" Aiden snapped at his mother as he shot her a warning glare.
The bustling and whispers erupted in the vast room, but Aiden couldn't care less as he even ignored the thud of her mother blacking out on the ground.
He was the next Godslayer and would avenge his maltreatment and injustice of this twisted world.
Aiden needed an army and the activation of his tremendous power, as soon as possible.
***
The young daughter of the Explosion Clan lord scorned her maid as the woman braided her long golden hair.
"You are dismissed."
"But, my lady,"
The maid had blasted away as soon as she protested. The blood splashed on the girl's silky hair. She bolted upright and let out a high-pitched scream.
The guards and the lord barged in to check on the young lady.
"Sweety, sweety, what happened? Daddy is here, Danielle." He hurriedly crouched down to her daughter's eye level.
"Dad! She was trying to kill me with that hairpin! Dad!" The fourteen-year-old retorted at the lord as he sighed heavily.
"Sweetheart, I lost count of how many poor ladies you have ruptured with that excuse. You know I rigorously assess them before I let them even a mile close to you." He cooed at her, but nothing could pacify Danielle as she squealed and let the whole world know her authority was being questioned.
Daniel, the lord, blinked his eyes at the loud voice that caused all the glasses to shatter. The guards briskly covered their ears and regretted not putting on the armor.
"Call the maids to clean and sterile the place," Daniel commanded his soldiers before turning to his only daughter, "What will make you happy, princess?"
"I want to wed Aiden."
"The Azure Sky clan's heir?" Daniel asked in disbelief as his eyes went wide.
"Yep."
Daniel mused in his position, his gaze shunning the young lady.
"Dad?"
"You know what? It's an ingenious idea, Danny!" He exclaimed and hoisted her up in his arms.
She giggled and beamed at him.
"Sweety, I was considering this possibility since the Azure Sky clan has the fertile lands and best healing abilities, but never in the world would I have imagined my baby fathoming this herself."
Danny always admired Aiden, and since he almost died in the revolution fighting against those loathsome peasants, she felt the possibility of losing him, which was out of the question.
She wickedly grinned as she visualized herself in the most handsome male's arms. Who needed to be embraced by their useless daddies only anyways?
