1 Chapter 1: 3rd time is a charm

This could either be an unintentional side effect of the serum, or I am really dead. As I felt my head stop feeling like I just snorted some really pure cocaine.

Now let's recap how I got here

Ok so- when a boy and a girl like each other a lot they- alright fine, way too far back.

For real now, When I was born, and saw my parents for the first time, I saw all the love in the world. They looked like I was the greatest treasure in the world, which was saying a lot. Since we were the richest family in the world.

Now Most people would think that having richest people in the world as parents would be great, you would be spoiled, you could get away with anything you ever wanted, right??

WELL TOO BAD, it's not!

I would know, I was born with a diamond spoon after all. I was that kid, people all over the world were envious of me.

I had my whole life decided for me, the moment I was born.

He is going to be the CEO and owner of Hunt industries. He is gonna be the very best leading us to glory. He is gonna be the Scion of the Hunt family, They said.

And I was, Man I was. I was smart, scary smart to the point where I single-handedly took the hunt family to top. I became the richest man alive, owning 62 percent of the worlds economy. Governments worthless, Armies worthless, It didn't matter who they were. They crossed me I destroyed with surgical precision, I made the President of the United States run out of fear.

He tried to limit my access into the weapons sector and he lost badly. I remember, I spent only 3 days to destroy everything he had. He had dirt on him and I hounded him for it, I destroyed his dump industry. It's amazing really how far humans are willing go for a few extra bucks. Apparently he had a few off-site fishing companies, now normally I wouldn't care because they're isn't a single politician that hasn't done anything illegal, including me. But since he wanted to keep it such a secret that he used pentagon level firewalls to keep anyone out, I got curious and boy, did I struck gold.

This so called fishing company was actually a cover so he could supply heroine to major gangs and according to his records he sold a total 25 tons of pure drugs including but not limited to marajuana, Cocaine,Heroine,Pot. That was 8 tons larger than the largest drug transport ever caught in history.

Even then, I couldn't help but revel in his stupidity. He made such high-level servers but forgot about the workers. He was actually paying the workers nothing but cents compared to the amount he was transporting. So all I had to do was flash a hundred dollar bill and they spilled.

These were the times I was thankful for intellect, which by the way is IQ. 185. I made one of the most powerful people in the world fall just for a hundred dollars.

After that, I grew unrestricted, I reached the peak of what humanity had to offer, 5 star hotels, Victorian secret models, everything a man ever wanted I had or so I thought.

Until, one day I was headed back home which by the way is in Malibu from visiting my parents who retired and moved to the country side to get some peace. I got into a car accident and I spent two days in a private hospital bed rethinking my Philosophy on life. For some reason I felt like something was watching me that day, like it was about cover me but receded at the last moment. The world was going crazy, politicians dropping by to offer their fake pity.

I had 15 bones broken and I felt the pain, but that was not what hurt. It was the fact that I know that I am mortal. THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WORKED, I would still die. Future generations would just remember me as another rich guy.

So the moment I healed I locked myself inside my room to find the solution to thing that plagued humanity since time immemorial.

And then after working many weeks I found nothing. I was frustrated that did god really create us to just really die and be reborn if it's even true over and over again. Now, I am never gonna admit it, but I was scared not even of the fear of dying. But the fact that I was gonna spend eternity just keep being reborn and reborn and lose all my hard work, my memories. I was gonna lose the very thing that makes me who I am

So I scoured the earth for any way to increase my lifespan. I went to many different places, China, Japan, Himmilayas, Everest. Anything that you can name I did it. I found my answer in the form of a small temple in the Himmilayas. I remember that moment clearly, now no matter how smart I was. I didn't anticipate any earthquakes, and because of it a giant avalanche of snow occurred. For a split second I saw death, well saw is a strong word. More like felt it, but man was it clear. it was peaceful and it seemed to draw me in. It terrified me and in that split second, I resisted; used my own fear of death as fuel and it seemed to stop??? I didn't waste that chance and I ran.

I jumped out the cliff and pulled my emergency parachute and watched as my second close encounter of death rushed pass me with what felt like a hair-breath of space in between.

I slowly landed to ground as I sat down to regain my bearings. My heart was beating so fast and it was hard to breathe. I was in my twenties and I realized that I still had a lot to live for.

So I left and started to travel more seriously, I slowly grew older and older but I was also growing wiser and stronger.

I went to different dojo's in China and Japan.

I learned many different types of martial arts. Longevity,Attack,Defence,Speed, you name it.

But even with all that in my early thirties I realized that I had reached the limit of body and mind. So after over ten years from self imposed exile I returned.

I immediately went back into my lab after dismissing the nostalgia, I researched genetic defaults and I was 88 by the time I finished.

There many different side effects on my research. As I looked through Human DNA, I found a way to isolate some specific faulty DNA and take it out. So people I officially cured Autism.

The paparazzi was really annoying but the title was the one that was really bittersweet.

They called me the closest man to god. I was 88 and looked in 60's due to my training.

Now however, I finished my greatest work.

You see human DNA has these very small microscopic faults. I have theory regarding this, remember in science class your teacher would tell you how you inherited a lot from you parents, most of the time even their illness.

Well that's not all you inherited, the human body was designed to live up to 200 years and yet we just barely complete 1/2 of that.

You also inherited their genetic defaults. So technically every single human alive had these faults in them in the beginning, no matter what race, size, color you were, you had them.

But for some reason I can't go back further in the DNA, there seems to be a very very small membrane that's keeping me from going deeper. Its only going to allow me to go in further if I have some sort of key.

But I didn't let that stop, So I backtracked and after hundreds of hours of planning,research, I can eliminate all defaults in the human body.

I will be stronger faster, smarter. I am basically removing my genetic limiters on a very small scale, but even though they are just small problem they were enough to cause the humanity to lose over 95 percent of their potential.

I have already created a back up identity as I will be de-aged back to the very peak of my life.

I looked at the serum as it were my life and it was, I drank it all down with zero hesitation.

For a moment there, I felt it power, I felt like I could lift a mountain. My life and death was mine to control, my brain synapses running at speeds uncharted. It was a surreal feeling.

Until I felt it again that dreaded peaceful sensation.

NO..NO...NOOOOO

YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEE!!!

As much as I yelled, struggled, rebelled in any way I could. Deep down I knew it was it was impossible for me to survive, but I had to try something. I spent years wasting away in this lab and now that I finally have what I want this happens, I REFUSE TO LET THIS HAPPEN.

Finally it stopped, but it did not leave. Instead it attacked ferociously destroying me from atom to Atom.

I realized something important that I was not just experiencing Death, I was experiencing true death.

I was being erased from reality. I was about to continue struggling, but it was futile.

So I just laid there feeling untold agony as I looked down and saw the last of my legs being dispersed as white motes of light.

I contemplated as it happened and I realized two things.

One that I really was special, I escaped the death 2 times and was about to a third time. I did the impossible, I had just vexed death so much, that its actually granting me a true death.

A true death means no more rebirth for me. I will just scatter in to atoms returning to the natural state of the universe.

It gave me a sort of grim satisfaction, that though I didn't become immortal, I at least wouldn't have to spend eternity just dying over and over again with no real way out of it.

Maybe that's why death was so inviting, it knew Life was cruel, but maybe it could just give some tiny relief before the souls are sent to be tortured for all eternity again in the giant trap known as life.

The light had reached up to my chest. I was starting to fade away as well, but with a last act of will.The sensation abruptly slowed down, but I looked at the sensation with gratitude, it slowed so I still had time to lift my hand to cover the sun as I wanted. Maybe it felt pity or sympathy for me, if you told me back then that death would pity someone. I would laugh at the absurdity of it. But I guess things change as I finally faded away into white particles as only one thought plagued my mind

Death is truly inevitable.
