28 CHAPTER 28: THE RAGE

{3… 2.. 1.

Now open your eyes…}

Spoke the fairy with a beautiful voice that sounded a bit mechanical floating in front Taylor.

Rainbow colours twirled around his eyes fading away with black as verge, Taylor opened his dark eyes to perceive the light of the world which he left for four days. Well, not four days on his home planet Nova, but on the Fantasy World, whereas here it's just twenty-four hours equalling to one day.

Even after not eating a thing for twenty-four hours, Taylor doesn't have the weakness or utter starvation one would normally feel without food. He felt perfectly normal like a person with his tummy full.

'It feels same, one's food consumed in the Fantasy World is converted into energy for the living body here, a higher level magic.'

Taylor removed his VR helmet and became perplexed, by seeing the person sitting in his room and watching tv.

'This dead guy is here'

Taylor on seeing that individual felt an inexpressible feeling. He felt both regret and guilty. Regret for not saving him in his timeline. And guilty for not being there when he needed the most.

'Now too, he died before me'

Taylor realizes, he did things that are irreparable, his ultimate goal of gaining power in the past made him pay the price that was steeper than he bargained for.

If he was to make the same choice again, he didn't know which path he will choose.

'Maybe that's why I'm here. To make things right'

'Even after I wake up to my past, without the memories that I needed the most, I'm lost'

'It feels like I'm standing in square one again.'

From Taylor's half-cooked memories, he remembered that Edward's family is an assassin family, while his family is an information brokerage firm. From the publics' point of view, they are business tycoons the works in luxurious suits without getting a speck of dust until the end of the day. But behind that facade, their main occupation is assassination and selling information. Both their family's used this very business in the Fantasy world and rose to prominence in his timeline in just two years to be on equal terms with the Kingdoms of Fantasy World officials. As Taylor couldn't cultivate qi from a young age, in both the timeline he was kept in the dark until that day, the day he wanted to forget.

'Well, I couldn't complain, I would not have been of great help even if they said about it. Even after I knew, I was too focused on strength, back then.'

A smile; full of worry formed on his lips.

'I was never a good guy'

Taylor shook his head and erased those negative thoughts from his mind. With an energetic smile, he moved toward Edward, who is sitting on the couch in his room and staring at the beautiful newscaster on the tv screen.

'What is happening?'

Thought Taylor as he stood beside Edward shifting his attention to the television,

'Why is this guy so much focused on the tv'

The beautiful newscaster said about the happenings around the world after the launch of Fantasy World.

"It has been a day since the launch of the Fantasy world, and everyone realized now that the world won't be the same as before. Now in our world, we have a person who can fly, who can spit fire, who can bend steel. It's like everyone is becoming like a mutant in fiction. It won't stop and it will only be increasing, is what the staff of ZEON said to us. And now, here in our station, we have an important guest to talk about the Fantasy World with us. It none other than the CEO of ZEON company. The man who was acknowledged as the father of a new era"

Then the screen changes to a handsome middle-aged man in formal attire, he has a little beard sprouting on his face. He had a rough handsome look. He smiled toward the newscaster and continued,

"Hello, everyone. By now many of you would have entered the Fantasy world and experienced what it feels like to be in another world. Many of you would have gained power and levelled up while some of them would have met a bad end. Nevertheless, this is just the beginning of the new era. I heard that there are lots of riots breaking out throughout the world with lots of terrorism uprising, creating chaos in our world due to the people that gained power, it's not something welcome by the Board of Governments combined of all the 169 Nation. Hence, we have created a special force unit with the powerful people that have gained the highest level so far in the Fantasy World to get everything under control. We have formed this unit under each and every government's consent. So they will get everything under control sooner. And those who take violence in their hands will be severely punished."

As the CEO of ZEON, finished talking, that female newscaster again raised a question,

"Sir, you have to give some advice or tips for the people to survive in this big ordeal?"

Hearing her question, the CEO of ZEON, Trey Richardson said,

"The only thing I can say is that the higher existence that contacted us said, GAIN STRENGTH, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY, with the strength you can achieve anything you want. So I say, level up faster."

While watching the tv, unconsciously Taylor tightened his fists,

'Damn, fucking higher existence'

'Why I don't know, but I get irritated on hearing about this term higher existence.'

Taylor felt like his blood is boiling,

"Where is this rage coming from"

Without him understanding anything, an uncontrollable madness took over Taylor.

"DAMN YOU FUCKERS… I WILL FUCK EVERYONE OF YOU…"

Taylor started to shout in a crazy manner…

Everyone of his family member and the staff in the house felt a terror inside their heart, none of them could control their foothold, every one of them that heard Taylor's words fell to their knees.

As for the chaos creator Taylor, he sat on a high throne that was made out of the dead bones of some unidentified being in a grand palace hall.

Taylor wore a red armour that gave the vibe of a dragon walking out alive from it. Taylors black short hair is dyed crimson red. He had his warblade on his right side of the throne, while a heavy bow rested on the left side of his throne.

Taylor had a grin on his face that made him the embodiment of evil with his dark eyes,

"So what do you want higher lizard?"

The question Taylor asked was directed towards the person or to say being that looked like a lizard with wings in it's back, standing ten feet before him on the hall. There are plenty of chairs neatly arranged in this hall to the right and left side of the centre throne that Taylor was sitting. Even if some chairs are filled, there are still plenty of unoccupied chairs. But that being has to stand before him.

"You know it very well, you can't change a single thing, you are just destroying this world. The best you could do is joining us. Please think about, well being of the people of the land."

Hearing that Taylor started to laugh madly, then the whole hall started to laugh with him, as their laughter echoed through the palace, the red fog started to rise from Taylor's Throne.

Bang…

Taylor booted on the floor, scattering the red fog away like lighting splitting the clouds…

When the fog scatters Taylor lean forward and stared the being on white wings in it's back with his ravenous eyes and said in a commanding tone, that made the higher existence dog shiver in fear,

"Go and tell your King, We will devour EVERYTHING you took"

"BLOOD WILL HAVE BLOOD"
