Chapter 15 - A Blast from the past

"Adrian," said a bald black old man lying in a hospital gown, laying on his bed. His breath was weak as he watched his son, who sat next to him.

They were in a typical hospital room with curtains and a window by the side.

The boy tried to keep quiet as he took a deep breath. He could not control himself and looked at his father.

"Father, you will be ok, right?" Adrian asked with tears flowing down his cheeks.

"Your old man's still got some life in him, I'll be fine, just focus on your studies, forget about me," said Adrian's father with a confident expression.

"Ok," said Adrian, the tears slowly stopped.

"Now can you leave, you're blocking my Tv, you brat," said Adrian's father jokingly

"Dad, it's because of this series you are like this!" replied Adrian in retort.

"Why you brat, leave right now" replied his father

"Ok, ok. I'll come to visit you soon, haha," said Adrian as he ran out of the room.

Adrian's father smiled and called out

"How long do I have left?" He asked at nothing.

He smiled at the thought after having so much trouble fighting his disease, he would only have so many more days left to live. The time went by so fast, even though there was always pain all around. It had been a while since he felt free from it. But then again that feeling came with a price, in his case his life.

"Even if I go, I know I raised a smart son!" Adrian's father said

4 days later…

John Kent passed away.

"I told you ₳varice was special hahaha," laughed James in an astronaut suit doing a silly Fortnite dance.

"Dad, what's the lore behind your outfit this time!?" said Panda.

"Oh, so this is in case I run out of content, then I can go to space and extend the series?" said James in an educative manner.

"Does that work, Papa? replied Panda

"Well, it's working for fast and furious, "Space cars" Hollywood does love their space," said A̶d̶r̶i̶a̶James pausing and continuing. "Ice age did it well, Friday the 13th though (•___•), yeah, we don't talk about Jason X"

"Thank you, D̶a̶d̶," said Panda, but when James heard it, it seemed distorted.

"Yes, I…. Have to go," said James in confusion.

He slowly walked away from the group.

"Where is that man going," said the king

"I don't know he seems to be a bit ̶a̶i̶d̶ y̶o̶u̶ s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ c̶a̶l̶l̶ h̶e̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶ o̶f̶t̶e̶n̶, t̶h̶e̶ f̶a̶m̶i̶l̶y̶ m̶i̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ y̶o̶u̶," i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶ id Leonidas in bewilderment.

""G̶E̶T̶ O̶U̶T̶ O̶F̶ T̶H̶E̶ W̶A̶Y̶,"

"Dad, are you okay!" asked Panda in worry.

"Y̶o̶u̶r̶ f̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶'s̶ d̶e̶a̶d̶,"

"O̶h̶ m̶y̶ g̶o̶d̶ i̶s̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ n̶o̶t̶ A̶D̶R̶I̶A̶N̶, h̶i̶s̶ h̶i̶s̶…d̶e̶a̶d̶."

"𝙎𝙝𝙪𝙩 𝙪𝙥!" screamed James, markings crossing through his whole body.

He then calmed down and teleported out of the room. He was back in the dungeon he once was. He staggered to the mirror with his heart rapidly beating sweat dripping down his head.

"I don't even have a heart, what's happening?"

said James with his sight blurring, and his body losing its balance.

James looked at his reflection, it was rapidly morphing from a pale complexion to yellow, constantly switching.

His appearance constantly switched, from his current life to his previous life.

"Sta t_tus" " sta_tus"

James looked at his reflection as it slowly uttered a sentence.

"H̶a̶v̶e̶ y̶o̶u̶ f̶o̶r̶g̶o̶t̶t̶e̶n̶ a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ o̶u̶r m̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶"

James smashed the window with his hands, dripping in his sweat.

The dark dungeon slowly changed its form, modern appliances appeared, portraits of a family, a TV set, and a clothing rack.

After the transformation, the dungeon was now a modern-day apartment complex. James walked into his bedroom and looked at the phone on his bed ringing, he walked towards it and picked it up.

"Adrian are you ok, I heard you were in an accident!" said a worried woman on the phone

James' body slowly changed his undead physique, becoming more human.

"Am ok mum, am fine," said Adrian with tears flowing down his cheeks.

"I was so worried," said His mother in a sobbing tone.

"Mum, you worry about me too much, you will get a heart attack if you keep this up, I am fine!" said Adrian comforting his mother.

"Tsk, your right, you are all grown up, I miss your chubby little face," the mom jokes.

"Mom, you're embarrassing me!" complained Adrian with a smile on his face.

"Alright, am sorry, I am just happy you're ok," said his mom in a happy tone.

"Thank you…I wish we could have talked longer," said Adrian in a wishful tone, but he could feel his presence getting rejected from here, it was time to leave.

"I won't be able to talk anymore like we did in the past, make sure not to miss me much, hahaha…goodbye... Mum,"

"Adrian, what do you…" beep.

James/Adrian slowly walked towards a wall and touched it. The part they touched had a red tint to it.

The room slowly started breaking down. James slowly dropped his hand and threw the disappearing phone out the window.

With a smile on his face, the room disappeared, and also the entire dungeon.

He was in the middle of a forest, with a smile on his face.

"Lin fang, today was a wonderful day, don't you think so?" said James but he stopped and thought. "Am gonna refer to Adrian from now onwards ."

"Sir, your back!" said Lin fang

Adrian turned back and saw an army, his first thought being.

"Sister?"
