Chapter 8 - One Thousand Years

'One thousand years, huh, it will be quite fun to watch the world change.' Jay ended with a sigh, he was excited but also bored with the outcome of the events that had occurred.

Jay started to wander the planet, he did not have a specific location in mind since he had already explored every inch of the planet. He even explored the depths of the sea and even pretty deep inside the planet.

'I wonder if there is even anything to do about my situation.' Jay wondered as he flew through the world.

While deep in thought, Jay saw another figure floating in the sky looking down at a city that was peacefully having a festival in The Unbeatable Demon's honor.

Jay eventually arrived by the figure's side and joined it in looking down at the city of smiling faces. Jay could now see that the figure was a man wrapped in a cloak covering his body and face.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" The man spoke in a wavered tone.

"Yes, I would say so, smiles everywhere you look." Jay paused after his statement, "I am impressed you can be here as weak as you are."

There was a pause after Jay's statement, then the man chuckled a little, "I guess so, although, I didn't have to fight the Grim Reaper or I guess there are two now huh?"

Jay didn't let surprise affect him, instead, he questioned the man, "So, who are you that the Reaper left you be?"

The man in a cloak and bandages was silent for a few minutes before speaking. "Heh, I'm really no one special honestly. The old Reaper let me see how my family would prosper and I'm glad to see that they have all grown healthy." The cloaked man ended with a smile that wasn't visible.

The two didn't speak for a while still looking at the happy village. They watched all day in fact, until the very end, and saw adults and teenagers alike enjoying their significant other under the moonlight.

"To think I would have a chance to speak with you on my final hour here, I knew from the first and last time we met you would win and change this world. Though, I didn't know if, for the better or worse at that time, it seems for the better." The man ended with a soft chuckle.

Jay didn't really speak, he continued to look at the village, as some sorrow and anger filled his mind. Suddenly, two familiar auras appeared again. Jay didn't bother to look and ignored their presence since he knew that they weren't ready to fight him yet.

He felt the stare of daggers on his back and immediately knew it was the sister, but continued to ignore them, then the brother spoke to the clocked man, "Are you ready to leave this world?"

The cloaked man just nodded and looked at Jay before turning back and walking towards the pair, "You know," Jay spoke suddenly stopping him in his tracks to look at Jay, "You should bear your scars with pride and honor, especially," Jay paused, "since I'm the one that burned you with my suit."

Jay never turned toward the man, but he could tell Jay was smirking and he couldn't help but do the same. The man then turned to the pair of siblings and nodded his head. The pair lifted their weapons and slashed him and his ghostly body started to fade.

"Try not to burn so well in your next life, and wear your head high," Jay spoke right before the man disappeared. When there was nothing left of the man the twins looked at Jay once more before taking their leave as well.

Jay sat in a state scrambling through his mind, after that event, for a few days although he knew the reason for his anger and sorrow. Jay sighed outward and the world resonated with him before he thought, 'I promise in my next life I will be the family man I couldn't allow myself to be here.' only sorrow filled his mind with tinges of anger.

He felt a little worn out feeling the worst sorrow he only felt when he won his fights or killed his own family and it affected his mental state heavily. He was feeling so out of character he felt willing to let himself be taken out by the siblings.

Yet suddenly he screamed so loud that he even affected the living realm and 'The World' acknowledged his achievements, with what seemed like excitement, and he felt more strength filling him, yet he didn't bother feeling it.

'If I let myself forget how can I be a family man!" Jay thought to himself, 'I will win and be the family man I want to be!' Jay found himself a new goal to strive towards and was ready to make it a reality!

Jay then spent the next years wandering and watching the world unfold. He watched his children that bested him decide the land between themselves and establish peace. Yet in his mind, he knew it would not last forever.

He watched more of his blood and genes be born and felt great watching them admire the great-grandfather he was. Eventually, the first war broke out and he watched as his sons and daughters created wars and alliances.

Eventually, he watched revolutions appear, take over, or fail. Not a single detail missed his eyes. He watched as loved ones, friends, and families betrayed each other and was angered but he knew it would happen no matter what he was able to do.

He saw many of his bloodline die and then be taken by the Reapers. He did nothing since only the strong should keep their memories and past, he made the promise about the next life after all.

The years kept passing and so did the wars. He even saw one of his daughters he never got to meet respect the "Demon" kind and build an Empire that was for "Demons" to be themselves, even if the land wasn't large. The others of his bloodline, that were in power, were only the strongest and smartest.

He even saw multiple attempts of sieges on his dome yet they only met failures not even to the dome's defenses, but his Demonic Army! Yet, he felt sad watching the generations slowly get weaker and less enthusiastic about being in that great army.

He saw the Dome eventually fall and watched many attempts to get his inherence only to die trying to do so. Of course, eventually, One Man was able to get past the trials and get his inherence. That was one of his own blood and Jay got excited to see that the kid had a demon title and was stronger than Jay at his age. Yet he didn't bother watching him for a huge part of his life.

The kid that got the inherence had brown hair and eyes just as he did. He was quite average in height but had bulging muscles. The kid seem to wear white shirts and black shorts most of the time. At least until he got the inherence. Then he started to wear the 'Crimson Blood Armor.' It was something Jay and His A.I. was working on before his passing.

This trend of battle, peace, and truces kept passing as Jay watched and worked on staying sane and stable. Eventually, the one thousand years had passed in a blink of an eye and as Jay was meditating he felt two familiar auras appear behind him, Jay only smiled at that feeling.
