Reincarnation

The world around twisted with an intensifying burst of darkness. The tension, the bloodlust and the pressure. Most people might likely die over and over again witnessing such anomalies.

A pale foot stepped upon the darkness, but instead of the normal repelling force, the darkness quickly parted fearing the approach of a divine.

The seamless lines of the gluttonous darkness emitted an eerie glow but then dimmed the moment this pale foot trampled on it.

The pale foot was highlighted and then a well toned and sculpted chest and abs appeared to view.

His muscles rippled with immense strength that the darkness was suppressed and at the same time, vanquished allowing a weak stream of light that was engulfed by the enamoring darkness.

There was a perfect chuckle and then...

His face was highlighted.

Perfect black as midnight hair, beautiful golden eyes which had deepened Into a sinister red-gold hue.

His pink lips and his alluring facial structure.

One step unto the darkness, ripples spread throughout the darkness and then one step took him entirely through it.

The beautiful young man finally paused after crossing through the valley of darkness, he met a mountain with a golden radiance atop it.

The mountain exuded an aura of authority and power. And the ripples it sent out told that, whoever is ruling the mountains is not to be triffled with.

A vision actually clouded with overwhelming power..

Then, a deafening thunderclap erupted alongside several sonic explosions at a powerful voice.

"Why did you return?"

The young man with the beautiful golden eyes showed at least no sign of fear... or less sign of fear. Maybe, to him ...his power was just as monstrous as the man atop the mountain.

This man actually emitted a blinding light of gold that makes it impossible to view his visage.

"I did not have enough power to stop a Transcendent robot... Theodore is one funny guy. He actually messed up with the universe's timeline."

Then an earth-shattering laughter echoed off the distance, causing mountains and hills to be blasted off while seas dried up.

"You're going back... But this time, as another avatar. Obviously, I'd seal your memories and then... you'd have much capability like before."

As the man atop the mountain spoke, the earth around this young man trembled, the ground cracked as fissures appeared within.

"You will not have the memory of the previous avatar, but... you both will have an unmistakable resemblance."

A blasted Mountain came within the young man's range, only to be shattered into smithereens by his unfathomable power.

The mountain man waved his hands and the bloody bits of Tommy's remains appeared here...

One body...

One soul...

One life to live...

The young man in question is actually Tommy, but seeing his dead avatar before him, the killing intent that reeked out from him grew palpable.

Theodore must die.

If only he would be allowed to attack with his full strength, he might end the bastard with one move.

"When will I actually be free from your shackles?"

The man atop the mountain laughed, his golden light becoming much more blinding.

"After the three mission is complete."

The mountain man waved his hands and the avatar— CrossWood Tommy was revitalized, reshaped and created to become whole again.

"So this is reincarnation..."

Tommy chuckled softly staring and unfearing at the man who seemed to be a tyrant in the sixth heaven.

"I know you care much about your freedom... but it is only but a few years to be under my care. After that, freedom and all the powers under my control will be yours to inherit. I've lived billions of years and would not want to continue with it– still, everyone requires eternal rest."

A chuckle followed after. A chuckled that caused a spatial rift to appear with the fabric of existence.

Then, reality broke to pieces only to mend itself back to normal.

The man stared at the young man's unwavering gaze until he realized something.

"Ok, I know you wouldn't want to die such a silly death knowing the amount of power you possess... How about this, each time you achieve a breakthrough as Awakened or Ascended or Transcendent, a quarter of your power will be released making it possible for you to be far above your peers..."

This time around, the hardened golden red eyes softened a bit and in the next moment, his entire person was swallowed up by the newly created avatar.

"As for the universal timeline, don't bother with it, I'd make sure nothing happens to this Universe we protect."

And then, his memories was suddenly sealed— Tommy opened his eyes, wondering.

Yes, he is CrossWood Tommy— he remembered. He was already a Stream-entry expert as an Awakened.

He had also unlocked three skills. Afterimage, Wind blade and Oblivion...

He remembered that his father is Casey... but then, almost immediately he lost that memory.

He immediately remembered Edward and Riele, and just like before... he lost the memory, almost as if a seal was there... stopping him from remembering anything.

He did not remember anything related to him...

But then, a foreign memory invaded his mind.

The White House?

The house for presidency. The president's home rather...

Am I to go there?

Tommy wondered...

Suddenly, he started to remember odd memories— memories that was never there.

His brother...

His sister, his mother and father— the president.

And then, his boyfriend–

Am I gay?

For a moment, Tommy was horrified at that thought. I have a boyfriend?

If Tommy's memory had not been sealed at all, he would have cursed the man atop the mountain for infiltrating his brain with strange memories.

Still, a new life had been set already for him and he was to tread the path.

Then, Tommy opened his eyes seeing himself lying atop a very massive bed.

The bed was very massive, white and beautiful– made of creamy silk and soft cushions.

His body sank deep into the mattress still wallowing in his thoughts.

However, the thought of Tommy had suddenly vanished from the memory of any one that had ever known him. Casey, Edward, Riele... Even the name, CrossWood had gone extinct from every mind.

No one remembers that Tommy CrossWood even died. Everything had just gone back to normal like that.

A year ago, Casey got married to Ricky and Riele becomes his step daughter.

Riele and Edward started dating.

Echelon High School and even sir Garrett forgot about Tommy.

Now however, a new topic had popped up the net.

News Headline...

The Handsome CrossWood Tommy is actually paroling with his hot boyfriend Jayson Nicholas in the President's van.

No one even care that Tommy is gay, they all rushed out to take a video.

Tommy felt the urge to curse but did not know why...his memories were sealed.
