2010

This place really have change since I was here back in the days, I was currently in my apartment in Gateway City overlooking a park and a museum and just savoring the beauty it has to offer.

I arrive here at world war 1 (which confuse me that time because everything was every bit wrong), I briefly joined the war and help the allies defeat central powers in the shadow due to me wanting to clear my head as the disappointment of not being able to go home took a toll in my mind.

I rampage behind the enemy lines due to grief and disappointment ....

..... with me being basically unkillable, the enemy took a huge hit that day.... but after seeing what I've done...I was disgusted at what I did...

I quitely withdraw to London and raided the syndicate and stole their stash of gold along with the gold I raided in the enemy lines(especially the banks that held the central powers gold), I sell about a ton of gold (and I still have about a thousand tons) and earned a total of 700 thousand pounds which would translate to now to almost 63 million pounds (although there were quite a problem with the technicalities but thanks to some confounding magic the process became smooth sailing), when I sold them in the bank of England.

I traveled the war torn world with my new found wealth and with Bast who was thankfully transported back with me along with the things I collected in the forest of death throughout the years.

I bought quite a few pieces of land in France which was very cheap because of the blockade of the Central power but still I will be able to cash in with those land after the war especially if I was able to create huge vineyard in those lands and finally I also bought a beach in Greece which would be a very good tourist attraction in the future.

I continued traveling the war torn world for 10 years and it made me weary, all this useless bloodshed. Even though years have past since the war the world wasn't still able to recover.

I went and retreated back to take up residence in Canada after the world war 1 and set up my very first home, while also creating a background for myself.

Thanks to the war, background can be easily made so now I was Alexander Maximus a father with one child in papers, I did this for a reason because now that I don't age, I needed a way out to not make other people suspicious, I fake my own death and my imaginary son(which will be me) will take on the role of the head of the family.

I also made a teleportation link between here and to my properties in France and Greece, Magic really is a bullshit power also thanks to spending a few thousand years in a magic rich environment, my mana has grown exponentially.

According also to the mana reader which was once use by the Rune Smith, this world is also pretty abundant in magic not surprising as a few gods inhabit this world but the problem is, it's contaminated although it won't affect me as my own body can filter it out but still especially in Gotham, the mana was so contaminated that I thought it was a gateway to hell.

Maybe that's the reason why Gotham has a lot of Loonies.

86 years past and here I am, as Alex Maximus, watching the beautiful Gateway city inside my swanky hotel, thanks to my Vineyard and Beach along with a well place investment in LexCorp and Wayne Industries. I became quite rich.

I usually use my money in creating various orphanage especially at the end of ww2, which I named Lily foundation in honor of my mom and also to repent for what I did during both wars but especially world war 1.

I also created Lily's School of Higher Learning near those Orphanage that Offer free education upto tertiary education to the orphans in the orphanage though if they wanted to go to top universities like Harvard or Cambridge the school also offers scholarships for those as long they work hard for the school only has one creed and that is "knowledge and power".

They cost me much but thanks to Wayne and Luthor's business empire it just adds about even, I still had quite a few investments in Starr labs, Google and I also bought the Botanical Gardens in Gotham.

Life was great for me though it would have been perfect if I was able to settle down with a woman that I love but alas Immortality was truly a curse...

"Purr..."

Bast still the size of a cub jump unto my arms and tried to cheer me up, I smiled at the little one.

"You really know when to cheer me up don't you, you little cutie ...." I scratch her ears and she purred much louder and also satisfied from the look of it.

I finally found out why Bast doesn't grow up especially with her mom being huge, I found out that Bast can change her form into an Adult form and Cub form though why she didn't reveal it to me in Valhalla quite confuse me though she might just want to get carried around.

She purred once more and I understand she wanted food so after taking one look at the beautiful city I brought the lazy kitty cat into the kitchen.
