"Really? So you really want to defy me. A god who helped you. Damn you're really fucking funny Sebastian!" He said while he began to laugh.
I pointed his finger towards me and began to smile like my alter ego.
"Yes, Athen. You're the only thing in my way for my peace in this life."
I said while I walked towards him slowly.
Suddenly a choice appeared right in front of me. A choice that would determine the ways of my life and the new one.
[Will you defy your fate and kill Athen? Or will you live in this simulation and start again from the beginning?]
"Pfft! You already know my answer, I'll defy my fate like I wanted to do in the past."
[Your decision has been made. This will answer will forever be recorded as the first defiance of the simulations.]
[Once you defeat Athen, you'll receive a prize no man has ever received]
[Due to your decision of defiance, you'll receive your original powers that belong to you.]
As the screen disappeared, I suddenly felt surge of power flow into my body. The powers of a true god.
[Remember that once this action of yours succeeds you will...]
Before I was able to read more, I immediately ran towards Athen.
Activate all of the powers I have!!
[Order received]
You are the man who suffered the life of every man who once was you, you are the man who brought the destruction to the realm of the gods, you are the man who knows no bounds, you are the one who yearns for the new life to be achieved, you are now welcomed to the new found powers you once achieved. Remember the name you once had in the true living realm.
Receive the blessing of the gods and the heros you once met!!
HEROES RESURGENCE!!!
"So, you're truly going through this plan. Well, might as well fight you as this will truly be my last battle." Said Athen before reciting a command.
Release All Restraints
The both of us rushed toward each other and began fighting. With the first punch we land created a grand light.
... (A/N: No fight writing)
I stood over the bloodied corpse of Athen. I breathed heavily as I looked down at my bloodstained hands. I began to wonder if this was truly the best action I should've done. I made a chair appear from under me as I sat down. I began to reminiscing about the past of my whole existence.
I remember the first time I appeared in this simulation. This wasn't the true me. I'm just the imposter of this actual person's life. I never was truly Sebastian. I still remember the confusion when I first appeared here as I didn't know what the hell actually happened.
The first steps I took when I appeared here was to enjoy my new life as Athen didn't appear in front of me the first time. I did everything that I hated and lost everything due to my own actions. But still... After I died, I met Athen. That's when everything began to spiral out of control. I began to do repeat everything again and again while I tried to figure out what the hell to need this cycle of life and death.
Each time I began a new cycle or simulation, I did the opposite of what I did in the last.
During one of my simulations, I saw a new window. A window that mentioned that I could truly end this and return to a new life if I killed Athen.
Wtih this screen, I began to formulate ways to kill Athen but with each plan I had having to fail. This only boosted the true me to go forward and complete the action of killing Athen and getting my life back.
"Ha.... Will I truly return back to what I'm supposed to return to?" I said while I turned Athens corpse into my new weapon.
[Sebastian, you've truly impressed me in your actions. As I promised you, I'll give you a way to truly get out of this simulation. But as a bonus, I'll grant you 12 wishes. With these wishes, you can ask for anything as I'm an outer god]
I thought for moment before answering.
"Azathoth, I wish for my companions/ wives to accompany me to my new life after I get out of here. I also would like to be granted new powers that would truly help me in next life. Grant me the true powers of creation, engineering, and war. I'll save 9 wishes for when I need if it's okay." I said to Azathoth.
[Very well Sebastian. I'll send you out of this simulation and bring you back to where you were originally conceived. With the including, of your....wives plus the son and the powers. When you ever need me Sebastian for the wishes, just yell out my name and I will grant it as soon as I can]
"Okay, can I just sit here for a moment before I go back?" I asked.
[Very well, just yell me name when you want to go back]
Before long, the screen right in front of me disappeared.
I sat there in silence before I made something appear in my hands.
A ring.
"This brings back memories my love, Evelyn. Though the one in this simulation is just a copy of you. I still remember you in the real world. Though, it's very close to you. I still miss you, ever since that death of yours back in the actual Caster city, I still haven't recovered despite me having new lovers after you." I said while I brought out a picture of Evelyn.
I sat there looking at the picture of Evelyn before saying I wanted to go back.
Before long, a light surrounded me and I disappeared from the void.
*END OF FIRST VOLUME*

A/N:
Well... Looks like this is the final chapter of the first volume. I would like to say a lot of things. Thank you for reading this novel for this long. I know that I release the chapters once a week, but I greatly appreciate for you actually reading this novel.
I still remember when I first wrote this novel and I didn't know what to do with it after I shortly abandoned it. I'm quite happy with the results of the views I've been seeing. Especially since we passed a the old record of 500 views with a over a thousand views for the chapter Past (part 2). I really love how it's like that.
And I greatly appreciate it. I'm going to try to write enough chapters to post at least once per day for the next chapter, as I don't want you the reader wait once a week for a chapter. Though it would be difficult for me especially since I actually can't make chapters fast enough for every day. But I'll try my best. I'll post the new chapters for the new novel once I get enough for two weeks. But I won't promise that I would be able to get enough chapters for that.
And if I won't be able to do it, I'll do the regular schedule of one chapter per week.
I've yapped a lot, so I'll end this with a final message.
Thanks for the support and thanks for reading the chapter!!!!
