Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: ESCAPE

" why me?" Alex asked

 " Hmmm" the figure voice out in a questioning tone.

 "why did you choose me for this mission ?"

 " you are not the first not will you be the last to be chosen. over the years we have sent many people you yourself are the three hundred and forty first person we are sending. Among all of them some were killed, some have strayed away from their parts, some failed the quest given to them and some couldn't unleash their full potential"

 "okay, when will I start? "Alex asked. 

 "you will start when I am done explaining. You will be reincarnated into nine different worlds and in each world you have to go through life threatening situations to get to the top and then complete the quest given to you.

 The systems name changes each time you start a new life based on what power you are. You can be a commoner, orphan , prince or a noble it depends on luck. 

 when you are done with your mission you have the right to the decide whether you want to continue leaving until you are old in that world or you want to die when the mission is over"

 " Ok I understand ". he said while nodding. "but…" he continued "is it only me who has the system or are there others with it ". 

 "No , you are the only one with the system but all of them can live nine lives as long as they complete their mission.

 It's like a lucky spin and you won the system "the figure replied. 

 "Ok before I start can you erase all my past emotions? "he asked with a bitter smile. 

 "Yes,why ?" The figure asked somewhat confused. 

 "I don't want my emotions from the past to stop me from doing my best to complete the mission"he said

 "Ok , your previous emotions will vanish immediately you enter the new world " 

 " Ok ,can I start now?" he asked

 "Yes you can ,but you won't be yourself immediately you are born because of a little complication " it said and then it waved it's hand and a white light enveloped Alex. 

 " what complication?" Alex asked but he disappeared before he could get an answer.

 " I erased his emotions but half his heart is still with that mortal, maybe I should give him a gift and resurrect her so they can live the nine lives together. 

 It might get complicated but he can figure it out." The light darkened then a new figure appeared. 

 .........

 On a stormy night. The wind blew through the trees, the blood red moon illuminated the night,the red light of the moon glistered on the surface of the dark trees and it's leaves.

 Monsters could be heard howling , roaring, chittering, neighing and hissing. 

 The occasional sound of explosions echoed from afar. 

 A woman whose figure was covered in a cloak flew about in the forest. 

 Her wings look like that of birds, her two long horns pierced through the hood of the cloak, her facial features were hidden under the hood and she held onto a baby. 

 The baby had similar features to her which were almost identical. He had two small horns coming out from his head, his wings which were very small were hidden inside the blanket, his eagle like legs were also wrapped inside its blanket and his crescent shaped tails wagged about as he slept peacefully. 

 "Get her " A shout was head from behind the woman and five demons rushed at her. She dodged every single one of them skillfully as she flew forward with a faster speed.

 One of the five demons swung his hand at her but she avoided it and stabbed him with the triangular tip of a long tail. 

 The demon gritted his teeth in pain as the four others rushed at her at her. 

 They swung their claws but she used her wings to shield herself and the baby and then she swung her tail to attack. 

 "Sh*t !." she cursed. "I can't fight at full power because of his magesty. I can only escape"she said to herself again and she broke free from the encirclement of the five men. 

 She flew away as fast as she could and then she shouted. " Devil clone !" 

 Five replicas of herself appeared each holding a baby and she commanded them to fly in different directions.

 

" which one is real ?"one of the demons asked. 

 "It doesn't matter just follow them and if the one you follow is a clone tell me through telepathy" the biggest and muscular demons said.
