Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: He who has second chance to live

"Sometimes rebirth brings new beginnings. Nothing is free in this world. When life gives a chance, there is a price, a sacrifice required. That's why we can't let obstacles take us down. We've got to keep trying and trying. The world doesn't congratulate those who do half the job. We have to keep moving to the apex, to the limit beyond infinity. Kyrian has been given another chance!"

In a distant future, on a highly advanced spaceship, a young prince named Kyrian collapsed after a sudden attack by an enemy in space. It was so fast he couldn't defend himself. His body convulsed as ancient energy flooded into him. His eyes snapped open, revealing the same fierce blue of the ancient emperor, then faded away just as quickly. What was happening? His energy, cultivation, and magic—all seemed to be gone.

Confused and disoriented, Kyrian looked around at the futuristic technology. Memories of his past life and the final battle flooded his mind. He realized he had been reborn in a new era, with a new mission, in a weak body. "What the fuck?" he thought.

As he stood up, determination filled his heart. He vowed to reclaim his throne, protect his people, and uncover the mysteries of this new world. With both his ancient wisdom and the advanced technology at his disposal, Kyrian set out on a new journey, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. But something was missing. His body was weak, his energy was fading, his cultivation and magic were fading.

A starship from behind shot at him in space. He realized he couldn't protect himself. Not again. Someone quickly grabbed him.

"Your Highness, what are you doing outside?" Soren said. In the ancient Eldoria Empire, Soren was a wise god with ancient spells and had reached the pinnacle of cultivation. He was old, the son of a seer who could see beyond in the lost empire, but now appeared young.

"Zarath didn't kill you," Kyrian smiled and hugged him.

"He didn't. He's attacking our spaceship with his men. The immortal monster will be brought down, Your Highness," Soren replied.

"Your Highness?!" Kyrian was surprised and looked at the power suit. They were both surprised by everything. He was still curious when one of the space marines used his full Qi combined with the fire element to destroy a starship.

"Suicide and berserk!" Kyrian shouted.

"Suicide?" Soren asked, curious.

In the ancient realm of the Eldoria Empire, the practice was forbidden and could destroy a city. No one was allowed to do it, and it required a powerful spell no one knew except Soren and Kyra.

"Your Highness," Soren said as another attack followed, and they fled to the abandoned spaceship.

Elena rushed to Kyrian and hugged him, letting him fall into confusion. "I thought you were dead."

"Why did you allow him out when you knew the order?" Soren said to the guard, summoning a fire chain with the press of a button. Kyrian was still surprised as the guard was hit repeatedly.

"I'm sorry. I chased after him. He was gone before tricking me, and I couldn't leave the others," the guard said.

"Leave us alone. We have to fight for our universe. We are not weak like him; we are brave and strong," Prince Arric said.

"This is an order from the emperor: Prince Kyrian, Arric, Aurelius, Elena, and Lira—no one leaves the spaceship until this is over," he said, then fell to the battle.

"Emperor, prince, spaceship—all rubbish. I am the emperor!" Kyrian shouted in frustration as he fell to his feet, his Qi energy dropping immediately after using it. Elena rushed to him, using the Qi Catalyst Accelerator (QCA), a wearable, compact device that utilizes advanced nanotechnology and artificial intelligence to detect and amplify the user's Qi energy. When the user's Qi levels are low, the QCA emits a precise resonance frequency that stimulates the body's natural energy flow, rapidly replenishing and balancing the Qi. He threw it away, and others laughed at him as he fell again. Elena rushed to put it on him.

"Stop laughing at him," Elena shouted.

They continued laughing as Arric approached Elena's guards.

"How did you make it? I ordered you to go, and you returned? I saw him killing you. What did you use?" Arric questioned Kyrian.

"Elena, leave him alone. He's your blood," Elena said.

"Blood? Who are you?" Arric questioned as he approached her, pinning her against the wall of the ship with his hand on her neck.

Kyrian saw this and summoned all his magic, forming ice with water on the ship and hitting Arric with it. "What!?" Arric said angrily
