The Archivist's Ploy: A Tale of One Against The World

Far above the horizon, beyond the clouds and the apocalyptic storms under it, hovered a yellow-haired old-looking man. His yellow eyes gave off a bright radiance, and countless books floated around him. Throughout history, the man was known by many names, (The Watcher - The Chronicler - The Historian - The Custodian - The Recordkeeper) But during this Era, he was known as The Archivist. The Archivist's perception inspected thousands of kilometers far and wide, Yet 'Nothing interesting is happening' His frustration grew 'What's the point of a worldwide perception if there's no apposite change to perceive?' 'The world has become mundane' 'And no one is doing anything about it' Ergo, The Archivist will take matters into his own hands 'I'll orchestrate a worldwide, All-embracing scheme against an oblivious individual' With a sinister smile on his face, he devised his plan 'Turn the entire world into a person's antagonist, Then enjoy the show' And he had the perfect plot for it 'First, Utter Despair that would cause immense Pain' 'Then, More Despair that would turn the Pain to Loathe' 'Then, As the Loathe grows, The Despair will transform into Rage' 'The Rage will make the Being Crave Revenge, and the intense Crave will result in Devotion to his goal' 'Finally, The Despair, Pain, Loathe, Crave, and Devotion will all be used as fuel for the Rage, Transforming it into an even extremer emotion' "WRATH" How would a single person unleash his Wrath against the entire world? 'That's what I'm going to find out' "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The Archivist's maniacal laughter echoed loudly 'The world is about to be entertaining' He looked up and asked with a reverberating, Bleak voice "Who will be the unlucky one?"

New Family

Alex suddenly opened his eyes

He got a weird sense of Deja-Vu

'This is the second time I suddenly opened my eyes in a different body'

The first thing he saw was a White Haired beautiful woman

She was staring into his eyes with her strange, Grey eyes 

'What kind of an eye color is that? Interesting ... And why is she looking at me like that'

The woman also had a strange look on her face

Alex looked at the woman for a couple of seconds, and then he noticed something far more importnat

'I'm able to breathe!'

He took a deep breath

'Ahhh ... It feels so good to breathe again!'

'If all went well then it should be as Sal said, I got to keep my memories!'

'I didn't really expect it to work but it did!'

Alex looked at the white-haired woman again

'I wonder who is this? Is this my mother?'

But it didn't seem plausible

'She seems too lively for someone who just gave birth'

He could see a locked door behind the woman holding him

'Looks like I'm in a small room ...'

He tried to turn around but he wasn't able to fully rotate his head, He focused on hearing but he couldn't hear anyone else in the room

'If this isn't my mother then who is she? And where is my mom?'

And as if the woman has read his mind, She turned Alex around

When she did that he was able to see a beautiful blue-haired woman sleeping on the bed

The moment he saw her he instinctively felt it

'This must be my mother'

Alex turned his head around and looked at the grey eyes of the white-haired woman again

'So this woman should be something like a midwife? Or a doctor?'

While Alex was thinking about that, The look in the woman's eyes changed, Like she just realized something important

When Alex saw that he felt scared

'I didn't really mess up this early, Right?'

'Did she notice something weird about me?'

The woman came closer to Alex then started to say something in a low voice

After a couple of seconds, her finger began to shine and she put it on Alex's forehead

The moment she did that, Alex couldn't resist

He felt so exhausted that he was unable to keep his eyes open

The last thing he remembered was that after the woman was done talking his consciousness faded

When Alex regained consciousness, he was wrapped in some kind of a sheet and he could see three people in front of him

A blue-haired girl who was touching his cheeks and smiling brightly, A red-haired man who seemed to be in his late twenties, and a young, red-haired boy

The red-haired man was looking above Alex as if he was seeing someone behind him, While the young children were both inspecting Alex's body

Suddenly, The blue-haired girl stared intently into Alex's eyes and then gasped

"Daddy Daddy! Look at his eyes!"

"What about it?"

"It's different! See"

She moved to the side, allowing the red-haired man to look into Alex's eyes

When the man saw Alex's eyes he tilted his head in confusion

He came closer and stared at Alex for a while, Then he said

"So that's what Remedy meant when she said he's unique"

A soft, tired voice spoke from behind Alex

"What is it, Blaze?"

When Alex heard the voice he thought to himself

'I think she's my mom and I'm sitting on her lap'

But he couldn't turn around to confirm

"His eyes are different ... Contrasting Affinities"

"Contrasting affinities?"

"Yes, Red and Blue ...

I've seen some people with more double Affinity, But I've never seen any with such a contrast"

After Blaze said that the woman turned Alex around and looked into his eyes

The woman was very beautiful, Blue hair and clear, blue eyes

After she saw Alex's eyes she brought him closer to her face and said with a bright smile

"It's you! Basileus, My lovely son

I knew it, The Oracle is always accurate, Your future is so bright!

You'll slay dragons, My little genius"

Then she turned Alex around again and spoke to the children

"Amethyst, Merlin, This is your brother! His name is Basileus, Say hi"

"Basi--leus!, Hello little brother, I'll take care of you just like Merlin, Don't worry! I'm a reliable big sis as Daddy says!"

"Bathelewth, 'Elo but your name is difficult"

His name was difficult for both of them, But Blaze quickly saved the situation

"It's okay Merlin, Call him Leus, How about that?"

"Yes, Leus is much better, Hello little Leus!"

He side glanced at Viorica, Trying to see her reaction But luckily, She didn't mind

He breathed a sigh of relief

'At least he won't suffer with that name'

After Alex heard his new name, He tried to compare it to his old name

But strangely, He felt a strong detachment from his old one

When he thought about the name Leus he felt neutral, But when he thought about the name Alex he felt indifferent and apathetic, As if it was a stranger's name 

He was confused by that and tried to think about his old life, But instantly, A wave of apathy washed over his body, making him drop the idea and focus on his current situation

'So Leus is my new name now huh?'

'Alright, It isn't bad ...'

Leus had a lot to think about, But there was something distracting him

'I'm so hungry'

While he was busy thinking about that Blaze got up and approached him

"Viorica, Can I hold him?"

Viorica raised Leus up and gave him to Blaze

"He's beautiful, But why is he so quiet?" Blaze wondered

'Ahh, Right, I get it, How will they know I'm hungry, There's one thing to do in this situation'

Leus started crying, Making Blaze flustered

He quickly gave Leus back to his mother and

''You're tired, Remedy told me that it was not an easy delivery,

How about you feed him while I take the kids to sleep in their rooms then return to you?"

Viorica nodded

"Sure Blaze, Thank you for everything"

"Don't mention it, It's my job"

Blaze carried Merlin like a doll, And Merlin started laughing

Then he held Amethyst's hand and took both of them out of the room
