Wealth by Demitricule
Wealth wakens a person into slumber where they wander, till they wither
Wealth is a number that never ends until you do
Wealth wastes, weakens, wrecks
Wealth will wear you down
Adrien was now home sitting on a couch made from authentic buffalo hide. This couch alone cost 200,000k. His mother sat across from him on an identical couch in front of the window. She was indefinitely worried about Adrien's injuries. Her hair was in a well-put bun in which not a single strand could escape. Her dark-hued skin tone contrasted perfectly with the cream-colored maxi with puffed sleeves. Her diamond necklace shone brightly in the light descending from the window behind her. The light that shone from the window brightened her skin and gave her a glow that made her look like an angel who had descended onto earth. how to fix this paragraph
His mother looked at the doctor and the doctor immediately spoke about Adrien's condition, "This is nothing serious. I will assign him acetaminophen. The bruises from falling down the stairs will take a week to go fully away. Apply Ice. Then he will be good as new."
His mother raised her hand and said, "No need to prescribe acetaminophen. We do not believe in the use of painkillers or magic to heal. His natural body is strong enough."
The doctor then looked at the nurse. Who now realized that on the patient report, this was stated. She immediately apologized, "I-I apologize."
One of the nurses handed an ice pack wrapped inside a towel to Adrien. After a debriefing with the doctor, His mother then dismissed the doctor and the three nurses.
Once they were alone his mother finally spoke to him, "Adrien dear, what truly happened? I know you did not fall down the stairs at school."
"Mom, I got into a fight with Kai," Adrien spoke quickly with a lack of breath since he couldn't breathe out of his nose. His jaw still ached making him flinch with pain as he spoke. Kai had used a magic spell to heal Adrien's nose, but it had little effect as it only sped up the healing process. Meaning the wound will not just disappear and the pain would still be there.
"That child has no shame! Picking a fight with you. Injuring you this bad." His mother spoke with indignation. She thought it was Adrien who was the victim. His mother's reaction left Adrien surprised compared to the past she had never defended him in anyway.
"Where was Mahir when this happened? I expected that lady "friend" to help you out since she knows how fragile you are." His mother spoke fiercely. His mother seemed to favor Mahir far more than Kai. Adrien was no longer a child now he understood why his mother despised Kai far more than Mahir. This was due to the ugly emotion that would consume her. Jealousy! His mother was jealous of Kai's family precisely.
"No, I started the fight. Kai is far more injured than me. I- I" Adrien who was scared out of his mind confessed to his mother. He was more afraid of his mother than anybody. Even the lady of death whom he was a pious believer. If it was Mahir or Kai here they would just stay quiet and let their mother think the other person was at fault. Adrien even disliked Kai and Mahir. Still, he only acted evil deep down he hasn't even hurt anybody innocent. He hates lying to his mother the most. Also, If his mother stops them from hanging out then it will be troublesome. He had worked hard to be considered their friend and he would never ruin that.
"I broke Kai's leg," Adrien said.
"Did you use magic to hurt him?" His mother's eyes were now narrowed at him. She was just looking at Adrien yet it made Adrien want to melt into the couch, disappear turn invisible anything, but be in front of her.
"NO! Mom I would never use magic to harm another unless it is an emergency. This was but a quarrel among friends. These bruises don't even hurt." Adrien was now greatly worried.
"Get some rest… We shall talk tomorrow," with that his mom exited the room. He closed his eyes and listened to her footsteps disappear.
Adrien released a sigh. One of the maids tried to help him to his room. He refused and quietly went up to his room by himself. In his room, he went into the walk-in closet and changed into his green-laced night garments. Using the Icepack, he gave himself a massage.
Then he turned and looked at the luxury table worth 10k in the middle of his room. A smile showed through all the immense pain he was feeling. Adrien had gotten this table made precisely for him. He had used all his allowance to make it. This table is quite durable. Inside it, there are plenty of hidden compartments. No matter how you tried to open it was near darn impossible to unless you were Adrien.
He then started unlocking the compartment. Then he started placing the things from the compartments out. It took him only a few minutes to have everything organized on top of the table. There was a timeline. A list of people which contained their important details.
Adrien had a secret that he told no one about. He had regressed in time. He knew what was going to happen. He knew Mahir, Kai, Ecatrina, etc. much longer than they knew him.
They aren't my friends but rather my worst enemies.
All because of their actions he was left crippled for over 15 years in his previous life. He hated them all!! Each and every passing night he was filled with anguish. Those miserable years he spent bedridden. Hoping he would die. Hoping he never existed. If he hadn't received the magical scroll. That would have been the end of his story. On the golden scroll, there was an illustrious picture of the revered goddess of time holding what seemed to be a crown. He would have just died as a cripple. He has been given nine chances at life. Now he will get revenge on each of them and make their lives miserable. All nine of their lives!!
He now has a second blessing granted by the goddess of time Alphynia. That how I managed to come back .
His life would have been perfect. He would have married Vrani and had two cute little kids as they planned. He would have taken over the family business instead of his younger sister "Alia". Who told him in anguish many times over how much she wished that he was dead instead of being a cripple. She hated seeing her older brother being so miserable yet unable to do anything. He had lost the ability to speak. If he could, he would have told her that he also wished he would have been killed on that day. Adrien's life was one of the many lives they had ruined.
The reason why Adrien hung out with Mahir and Kai was to get close to them and learn more about them. Adrien needed to know what they liked and what they hated. He already knew what the news or the people thought of them in his previous life. In his previous life, he read every article the companies published. He now had nine whole chances to kill and torture them as they had done to him. They are still very dangerous so going in and not knowing enough about them could yet again lead to a horrendous life. His enemies earned themselves a title that only a select few had ever achieved. All of them were called the usherers of an apocalypse.
He then took a look at the timeline and thought that there were already many major differences since his last life. First, Letil Longstock was bullied to the point of suicide by Kai. Which was quite ironic since in his previous life he was a minor bully. He would just make fun of him over little things. Adrien had asked Kai once in the abandoned barn when this event took place, "Why did you kill Letil? Why did you bully him to the point of suicide?"
Kai replied with the brightest smile possible, "I didn't."
Adrien spoke again after controlling the urge to smack Kai, "but you orchestrated his death."
Kai smiled while drinking his Choco milk, "No, Mahir did, and he was such a weirdo. What is one more person dead gonna do? So, just sit tight and look at the sky."
In his previous life, Kai didn't speak much or stand out in school. Occasionally he would make dumb jokes in class. He was never too unruly Kai would hang around the richest and nastiest kids. In his second resurrection (now) he hates hanging out with the rich kids. He still makes those stupendous jokes that make everyone giggle in class.
Mahir on the other hand-picked fights with everyone. She treated everyone like they were pests. She was indifferent and gazed upon everyone like they were mere pests. She was feared and avoided. Now!! She was a model student at the academia of Sophia. All the kids want to be her friend, yet she still avoids them.
How could there be such a difference when the only other variable was Adrien becoming their friend? He was struggling with this question for the past few years and now another major change was that Mahir wanted to be Ecatrina's friend. Mahir hated Ecaterina in his first life.
