Lineage Of Dominion: Giving Birth To Become A Supreme

Alex suddenly woke up from his deep sleep, feeling disoriented. He glanced around at his surroundings, confusion clouding his thoughts. After a moment, he sighed deeply, resigning himself to the situation.

He still couldn't believe it, clinging to the hope that everything that had happened was just a dream and that one day, things would return to normalcy.

A month ago, Alex was an ordinary man living in the year 2159, going about his daily routines with little concern for what lay ahead.

Then, without warning, a cataclysmic event shook the world to its core. Chaos reigned as the very fabric of society unraveled, leaving confusion and fear in its wake.

Alex, like many others, found himself thrust into a new reality where the rules of the past no longer applied.

The nature of the disaster remained shrouded in mystery, with speculation running rampant as to its cause and implications.

As the world struggled to make sense of the upheaval, Alex grappled with the surreal notion that life as he knew it had been irrevocably altered.

And as he faced his mortality, Alex died believing it was the end of his life and suffering.

But to his astonishment, he awoke in what seemed to be an ancient world. Initially, he entertained the notion that he had been reincarnated into a different world.

However, he experiences a sudden and intense headache. As the pain subsided, he found himself inundated with foreign memories, flooding his mind with fragments of another person's life.

After painstakingly analyzing the influx of memories, Alex made a startling revelation: he had seemingly been reincarnated into the ancient Philippines, a land untouched by the Spanish conquest that would later reshape its history.

The realization filled him with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension as he grappled with the implications of his newfound existence in a time and place far removed from his own.

He discovered that in this new life, he was reborn as Ikaros, the only son of Lakan, the esteemed tribal chief of the village.

After his father's death, as the heir to his father's legacy, Alex felt the weight of responsibility settling upon his shoulders, knowing that his actions would shape the fate of his people and the destiny of this village.

His father, known simply as Lakan, held a position of honor and respect within the community, yet he lacked the wealth and military might attributed to the title of Datu, a powerful noble with a formidable army.

In the eyes of the Spanish explorers who would later arrive in the Philippines, figures like Datu were often referred to as local kings or island kings, acknowledging their leadership and authority over their respective territories.

His father, titled as Lakan, occupied a position of moderate status and influence within the tribal noble society.

While respected among his peers, he was considered to be above average in terms of his standing and power, but not quite reaching the pinnacle of authority held by the most prominent leaders of the islands.

He resided on the Island known as Zzubu (speculated as sugbo), which historians speculate might have been the ancient name for Cebu before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers.

In this idyllic yet rugged land, nestled amidst lush forests and pristine shores, the tribal community led a harmonious existence, unaware of the impending changes that would soon alter the course of their history forever.

Although Alex didn't possess an extensive knowledge of history, his mixed Filipino heritage and the teachings of his mother afforded him some understanding of the land and its customs.

Growing up with tales passed down through generations and the wisdom imparted by his maternal lineage, he had gleaned enough to navigate the intricacies of his surroundings with a sense of familiarity and belonging.

After Alex's reincarnation a month prior, tragedy struck when his father fell victim to an ambush while en route to the territory of the Datu of Zzubu.

The king had summoned this village tribe chief for a noble meeting, yet fate intervened cruelly, claiming his life before he could reach his destination.

The sudden loss plunged the village into mourning, leaving Alex to grapple with the weight of his newfound responsibilities in the wake of his father's untimely demise.

Now thrust into the role of village chief following his father's passing, Alex must shoulder the weight of leadership, tasked with guiding his community through the trials and tribulations that lie ahead.

With uncertainty looming on the horizon and the specter of external threats looming ever closer, he must rise to the occasion, drawing upon his newfound memories and inherited wisdom to steer his people toward a future filled with hope and prosperity.

Suddenly, a noise outside his hut caught Alex's attention, disrupting the stillness of the night. Alert and instinctively wary, he rose from his seat, his senses on high alert as he prepared to investigate the source of the disturbance.

"Excuse me, young chief," an elderly voice called out from outside the hut, its tone steeped in reverence and respect. "Your fiancée has arrived, and the marriage ritual can commence at your convenience."

One of Alex's duties passed down as his father's legacy, was to honor the arranged marriage agreement forged before his father's untimely passing.

His betrothed was the sole daughter of the village leader from a neighboring tribe, a union intended to strengthen bonds between their respective communities and ensure harmony amidst the shifting tides of tribal alliances.

"Uncle, I appreciate your patience. Allow me a moment to attire myself fittingly," Alex sighed, now addressed as Ikaros, replied with a hint of authority, his words carrying the confident aura befitting a leader.

------ Katabang – This term can mean helper or assistant and might be used to refer to someone who assists the datu or noble in their daily tasks. -------

Though his marriage was originally scheduled a week ago, it had been postponed due to the untimely death of his father. In the month since then, Ikaros had gradually grown accustomed to his new role as the village's leader and heir. The weight of responsibility had begun to settle on his shoulders, shaping him into a leader capable of navigating the challenges that lay ahead with determination and poise.

After a brief interval, the butler heard a rustling sound and turned to see Ikaros emerging from his home, adorned in traditional tribal attire. The garments, woven with intricate patterns and dyed in rich hues, exuded an air of regal splendor as they draped elegantly over Ikaros's frame, signaling his readiness to embrace his role as chief and enter marriage.

Ikaros, resplendent in tribal regalia, was adorned with intricate gold accessories that gleamed in the torch, accentuating his stature as the village chief. At his hip hung a finely crafted sword, a symbol of his authority and readiness to defend his people and their way of life. With each movement, the ornate accessories jingled softly, a testament to his status and strength as a leader among his people.

"Come, Uncle, the time has come to commence the marriage ritual," Ikaros declared with a confident grin, his words carrying a hint of charisma and humor. "Let's not keep my future bride waiting any longer. After all, a delayed wedding is a bad start, isn't it?"

As his butler absentmindedly followed him, a curious sensation washed over him, and for a fleeting moment, he caught a glimpse of not just the current Ikaros, but the shadow of the future Ikaros as well. It was as though time momentarily blurred, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the leader that Ikaros would become, a figure of strength, wisdom, and unwavering resolve.
