Jared's Return

Ivan watched the purple blast of destruction approach.

His senses didn't have enough bandwidth to react to the assault on time.

He couldn't think. He couldn't breathe. He could only see.

As he neared his end, regret lingered in his heart.

Despite his pursuit of strength, he still couldn't reach it. Why did he always lose no matter how hard he tried?

The life of a loser and failure.

That was all that flashed before his eyes at the end.

At least that was what he thought.

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!<

The explosion came.

It was so deafening that Ivan felt rattled to his bones.

The vibrations shook his very core, and his heart raced with the rhythm.

However… he wasn't hurt.

He had thought death was painful. Yet, not only did he not feel pain or heat or pressure… he didn't feel anything at all!

He heard the sound and felt the vibrations, but that was it!

'W—wha—?!' His mind failed to comprehend what had just happened, so he opened his eyes.
