Chereads / shadow slave: Lelouch / Chapter 2 - The New World

Chapter 2 - The New World

I slowly open my eyes and stagger as I am trying to comprehend what is happening.

The space I currently reside in is surrounded by nothing but a vast and endless chasm of white that would confuse any onlooker and leave them question their sanity.

There I notice a peculiar presence, I couldn't quite see it but I could feel a part of myself in it and many others. A sort of amalgamation of countless presences.

'The collective unconscious of humanity'

'But why did it bring me here?'

My thoughts were interrupted by a chaotic chorus of endless voices entering my mind.

'I have granted your wish so you shall do the same'

My mind was suddenly in disarray as I began to feel dizzy

Before I knew it I was transported out and found myself in a small and fragile body.

I was in an alley and there I noticed a damaged shard of glass reflecting the face of a young child with eerily similar facial features to myself furrowing his eye brows.

'What is happening? This feels too real to be a mere ploy set up by geass'

'Yeah... I definately died then.

That was how I wanted to achieve peace afterall and end the guilt I felt for the lives of the people I took'

Nanully and the others also got their happy ending,without me'

' If this is not the work of geass then... What is it?'

As I was wondering a myriad of memories entered my mind. I quickly understood what to make of this place.

Firstly, this is not the earth I know. It is some kind of dystopian future where the likes of fantasy and the supernatural collided with human civilisation and resulted in a long lasting war.

Secondly, the human population is struggling since not many people are willing to help in the cause.

Some play just by their own self-interests such as the legacy clans who monopolise the power and regulation of the world.

'So it's not that different from Britannia'

And finally, the changes happening are too drastic. It is a miracle that humanity survived up to this point however, they will not be able to handle another disaster repeating like a category 5 gate. They are standing on their last legs.

'The supposed god of my world mentioned something about granting him a wish'

'I can guess that it likely has to do with the salvation of this world. There are too many problems that humanity is facing though'

'At least a good portion of the population is left to rot in the outskirts with harsh living conditions'

'Even that seems like a minor problem when compared to the amount of unspoken horrors roaming this world or have yet to emerge'

'Their safety is left to luck and it will be only a matter of time before a category 5 gate appears to turn this quadrant into a graveyard...'

It seems like this won't be a life I can just life leisurely. This world favours the strong.

If it is a lawless world then I guess I will just have to create order myself.

I am an excellent strategist however I never excelled at physical activities. Suzaku and Kallen were more suited for that.

I have several things I lack right now but first I will need money.

The world currently seems to function by having the lower class suffer.

Working for money that barley gets them by and can develop long term health problems.

'Yeah I doubt I will be doing that'

'Should I start a business?'

I currently don't have the resources for that though.

So then that leaves me to... Using my geass to inherit wealth.

'Then it's settled'

Lelouch Vi Britannia will start his conquest towards the nightmare spell right here and then.

To be continued...
