1 The beginning and the end

The battle against Crombel had unforeseen consequences, for, the moment Frankenstein took the mad doctors life a dead mans switch went off.

Nuclear explosions calculated to take out all life on the planet went off throughout the world, pure uninhibited destruction. the Noblesse realising Frankensteins distress, arrived just in time to use the last of his life force to protect his Knights from the cataclysm.

A barrier of blood spread out around them and shielded them from the explosions spreading around the heat still brushing against them, for what felt like an eternity the flames tried to snuff them out and it finally stopped.

After the destruction settled he looked around and sighed as be saw his retinue safe but was baffled by how he is still breathing as he doubted he had the life force to even protect them completely but all was answered when a soft thud sounds behind him and he sees Karias The Blester clan leader lifeless with a soft smile on his face.

Frankenstein, still haggard from all that occurred bent down next to Karias and said: "He used the last of his energy to make sure you lived master!".

The words hit everyone hard, he was just laughing with them a few hours ago and filling their days with amusement, and now he just laid their lifeless. Raizel wanted to mourn for his sacrifice but his blood was calling for him from Lukedonia and he could not ignore the sorrow that it conveyed even numbing out his own. "Lukedonia" was all he said and he used his blood to take everyone within it and flew as fast as he could to his home.

As the sovereign of blood he could feel the life around him but now, emptiness, no life but what he held and one other throughout the planet, he had failed.

He released everyone at the centre of Lukedonia where he saw the hunched body of Raskreia holding for dear life against Ragnorak, tears of blood dripping down her face, " They're all gone, I am all that's left. Father protected me from the last of the blast"

Even the nobles were left untouched by the madman, the noblesse spread his power around for even a semblance of hope, disappointment was all that greeted him. He fell on his knees, he had never been so humbled, as the fate soul of this realm, the epitome of power, he was helpless and he had failed, horribly at that. He looked around to see the faces of the children in his care and saw the despair in their eyes, they were broken and only his loyal servant had the smallest of hope, he realised that Frankenstein was hoping his master could fix this monstrosity and he couldn't bare to disappoint the last of the hope that lay in this dead world, relief washed over him when he heard the words that were spoken next.

"I'm sorry" They looked up to see the projection of the previous lord with a sorrowful expression trying to comfort them of their loss, "I underestimated humans on what they can achieve"

"we all did" was Raizel's short but deeply humbled reply

The lord looked towards the survivors and could only lament at the despair now deeply visible in their eyes until he saw Frankenstein and smiled "I see your still holding on to some hope, I'm glad, your master needs you now more than ever" He sighed softly and Ragnorak rose to the air and started humming with power, "This world is truly dead, I will make you an opportunity for a new life with its sacrifice, I leave to you the choice to embrace it"

The humming slowly rose in frequency and spreading all around them and the lord looked towards his Noblesse, a couple of silver bands drifted off from him and landed on Raizels palm, " Raizel, ask the peacock what those are for and when my daughter is out of her depression, just hold her close and tell her everything is going to be alright and please, Cardis Etrama Di Raizel, Live!" with those final words everything went black and they reappeared in a castle much like the Lord's residence, surrounded by lush forestry all around. But not one of them was in the mood for appreciating its beauty so they just walked away to cope with what they had lost.

After years of solitude on the little island they now call home in this whole new reality, Frankenstein knew that it would take a miracle for him to change his master of any nihilistic views he's developed from the incident and all this time he planned to build his broken little family up to what he could only hope would bring happiness to his master. He knew that he was broken from the fact that even the extinction of the human race would not move his demented little heart, only the emotions he received from the connection to his master could make him feel human, ironic considering a Noble's emotions were what kept him going, but grateful he was for if not for that little humanity he had left he would have been just another Crombel in that god forsaken world, after all, that madman was his successor unofficially. He decided enough was enough!

*Clap* the loud clash of his palms woke the other but the Noblesse who hasn't left the tower he now calls his exile, "You are all still in my masters home, and it is time you start working for it. Tao!, catalogue everything you consider of importance on the island and make me a map of this place, Seira and Rael! make a plan for all meals that my master and the other will consume and see if we have enough supplies, Regis and Takeo you two will be cleaning every room in the Castle till they shine, Got it!" His words caused everyone to start and the previous routines that were ingrained in them from their old world were compelling them towards the order.

Frankenstein smiled at the sight of the children finally taking the first step towards healing and sighed as his gaze arrived at Raskreia, the New Lord of the nobles now a simple but powerful woman with nothing left, "Lord,.."

"Don't! call me that" she interrupted vehemently "I failed my subjects, My family"

He stared for a while but still went on, "Yes, you did" She flinched at his admittance of her failure "But you are still the Lord, you still have subjects to protect, to encourage and lead, The lords duties arent over till you die so you can keep failing or get back up" Her eyes widened and she just stared at the human that was telling her off and was ashamed of her actions, With a chuckle Frankenstein said " As for family, I was supposed to tell my master this if and when he asks but telling you will be more productive with the state he is in, Those bands are used by humans as a symbol of their connection to their mate, Looks like your father has already thought of how you can, how do i put it, rebuild" He stared at Raskreia with a smirk as her already wide eyes went wider and she now sported a chaste blush, " I hope you can take the initiative Lady Rakreia for your mate is still brooding in his little tower, Maybe he'll let down his hair for you to climb up to him" Raskreia was still blushing but was now confused at his last sentence, but he didnt bother explaining so just walked towards where M-21 was.

He grabbed the brooding mutt by the collar and dragged him towards the forest to see what threats still exist in the shrubbery surrounding their home, M-21 could only grunt and follow suit.

"Try using your werewolf form" asked Frankenstein and M-21 raised an eyebrow at him but followed suit and transformed to only gape at his new form, he was now larger than a pureblood were-wolf and he looked closer to an animal now but the power coursing through his body was intoxicating, " As I thought, You are no longer a were-wolf, That form you are using is a certain power that the will of this world has given you considering the traits in your previous world" M-21 was still struggling with the power but was still getting more and more confused as to what was going on, was he or was he not a were-wolf "Try to get used to your new power in the forest while I do the same, Mine has changed as well to suit this world, Also stay away from water, the powers that we gained come with its own weaknesses, so contact with any body of water is a no go" Said Frankenstein and continues with a glint in his eyes "find out if there is anything that can threaten us on this island" M-21 stared trying to process all this new information and sighed realising that The old headmaster was only waiting for everyone to gather before revealing the knowledge hes found out, so he just nodded and proceeded to his task.

At the end of the day Everyone was seated in the main hall and Raskreia has taken the initiative to drag Raizel there as well, Tao was the first to speak up "the whole castle is built to hold thousands of people and it seems to have been the home to nobles as I've found a lot of relics indicating as such and i found a huge basement that indicates that its an indestructible training room, The most curious thing I found was a room with the soul weapons of everyone in this room as well as well as Amore, Karias' soul weapon, Garant, the soul weapon of the Ru clan and the whip of the Kravei clan"

Frankenstein interrupted their gasps of surprise saying "Everything will be explained at the end so please go on" with that everyone kept silent, and Rael spoke "There are greenhouses with everything we'd need for our meals indefinitely and Seira has been teaching me how to help her cook" Regis and Takeo took over from there " The Castle is spotless"

M-21 continued saying " The Island has a lot of vicious flora and fauna that could kill an ordinary modified human with ease and most of which are edible so meat is no problem"

Frankenstein nodded and spoke softly "As you know this is a completely new world we have been brought to, if we had arrived here as we were in our previous world, the worlds will would have rejected us and as such you may be experiencing differences in your powers" He looked at their faces and saw all but Tao, Takeo and Regis nodding, he sighed choosing to leave out the idiots confusion for later he went on "For one mind control does not work for anyone but master and lady Rakreia anymore" The nobles in the group tried exerting their powers and realised they are non-existent.

"The lord left me with information on all the changes taking place in each of you and some information about this world and where we are, This Island is called Transylvania, and it was where nobles from the Royal Familly ruled this world from a few millennia ago" The surprise in everyone's faces only increased when The noblesse spoke "My brother was exiled here for his crimes, He used a bloodstone to increase his lifeforce"

Frankenstein continued explaining from there "My master's brother had his offspring and ruled this world for many years but his line is dead and nobles were forgotten now, I don't know what changes this world had experienced as the Lord expected us to live in peace in this island and heal from our losses"

"The main composition of this worlds power is from certain fruits that grow in the wild, They give abilities to the people who eat them from turning into fire to being a werewolf, They are divided into 3 categories, Zoan, Paramecia and Logia. Our previous powers have changed so that they may be categorised into one of this worlds systems,"

"Rael Kertia, your powers are the same, the makeup of an assassin but your speed has been changed to be the product of you eating the Swift swift fruit, A paramecia that allow you to control speed, Think out of the box and you will be amazed at the applications it has" saying that Frankenstein threw a black spike towards Rael who raised his hand and it slowed down to a tenth of its sent speed and Rael casually dodged it in amazement.

"Regis K Landegre, your powers will be the product of the paramecia Battery battery fruit, there is the stronger elemental logia fruit known as the Thunder thunder fruit but the lord deemed them as limited, so none of us will have any Logia fruits" Regis raised his hand to see the same sparks he is used to curl around him, but he felt more freedom in their use now.

Seira J Loyard, Your powers will be increased because your powers will be the product of The mythical zoan: reaper reaper fruit, you will have control over the emotion of fear with your new powers and coupled with your soul weapon it will be devastating" With that said Seira changed into the form of a bone reaper with a black cloak and everyone's chest tightened with fear.

"M-21, you already tested out your Fruits powers, its the Mythical zoan: werewolf werewolf fruit, you will have godly regeneration and have can attack using the sound of your howl" He shifted to his werewolf form to keep the flow going

"Takeo and Tao, you did not possess any abilities that went against this world other than the ones from me which have been removed by the lord but you will receive Karias Soul weapon and The whip from the Krevei clan, as willed by the lord, The Ru clan Weapon will go to M-21 as the Lord wanted everyone here to have a relic from his home" They pouted but sighed with a smile,

"My powers have been changed to the Mythical Zoan: shadow demon and I now have power over shadows" As he said this he changed to his demonic form but only now it was pitch black instead of purple " I also have full control of its powers" He smiled a smile that had everyone's hair standing and laughed like the mad scientist he is.

"There exists another type of power that this worlds will allow, the weaponizing of willpower, Haki, Kenbunshoku Haki, which grants users a sixth sense of the world around them and limited precognitive abilities.we can hone this skill to such a degree that they can seemingly predict the future, Busoshoku Haki, which allows the user to use their spirit as armour to defend against attacks or to make their own attacks more potent. Users can learn to use this Technique over their entire body and weapons, There exists a third type which i was told only Lady Rakreia and My master has, Conquerors Haki, a rare type of Haki only one in a million can use which grants the user the ability to overpower the will of others, Lady Raskeria is said to be able to use these skills to the limit along with master because the worlds will prevent anyone from having the same ability, therefore, she will not have a complementing devil fruit but her racial traits will allow her to be almost equal to a master physically coupled with her skill with Ragnorak"

"The noblesse was known as the sovereign of blood and as such he will have the same powers here with none of its weaknesses courtesy of the paramecia blood blood fruit, but he will have a fully integrated and awakened fruit so he will lose the weakness that all of us devil fruit eater have gained"

"Those that eat a devil fruit will be weakened in any body of water that goes above our knees and also when in contact with a mineral known as sea stone, But master will not have any such weaknesses but due to the immense effect his powers have on the world his power sealing earing will be made of the purest sea stone limiting his fruits ability to a tenth" Rai only nodded, but he got up and walked to the front of all of them "Even in this world I have been given power and responsibility, I am sorry, I will not fail you again" He said with a look of determination in his eyes which shocked everyone to speechlessness, " I apologise Frankenstein, for leaving you with the responsibility of taking care of us" Which broke Frankenstein out of his stupor and he said " It is my duty master, I will have it no other way"

Raizel then went up to Raskreia and hugged her much to everyone's shock and her heart raced and he said " I will always be there for you Raskreia" Frankenstein watched this all with pride and decided to leave the rings for later as the lady won't be able to take much more,

" now why don't we all try to make a life for ourselves here, And I'm sure all of you are edging to try out your new abilities" he said with a smile and everyone rose with a smile finally on all of their faces, They aren't all complete yet but it won't be long now.
