Choosing second to come first

It begins a bit rough but improves as it progresses just due to it being my first work, the world as everyone knew it changed, John though refused to bend or bow, well others seemed to be corrupted and changed by there choices John kept his sanity, or rather had no sanity to hold onto as the voices in his head that others beside his best friend dismissed as imaginary become more prominent, as he sets out to make his mark he learns the nature of the changes to the world, finding out more and striving to get stronger and to kill the so called gods who where responsible for it, but everything comes at a cost. So just a small heads up, it starts a little rough but I can promise it Improves as the chapters go on, a bit slow but it's my first real novel so hope you all enjoy it :-) Ps. This story is writing itself, so all the twists and turns are by its own choice as I'm just the one putting it on digital paper as odd as that sounds, share a stone if you like it and I'll also try to keep as consistent as I can with updates.

Chapter 59

Chapter 59

"That's a rather powerful ability, but why would your family try to kill you like that?" Lesh couldn't help but state, surprised by how deadly the old man could be and how his own family seemed to try and kill him.

"I am, or rather was before everything happened a rather rich man and worth even more, and with me dead by 'natural' causes they would inherit everything and my wealth." He tells Lesh shaking his head.

"Human greed again, it truly knows no bounds." Lesh couldn't help but say, his tone filled with disappointment as yet again humanity proved it had a ugly side even before it was forced forward.

"heya, I hate to interrupt your meeting but I just got done finding out about the girls classes and honestly there really surprising and I think they're going to be amazing to help us." Alice says in excitement.

"I will be talking my leave now and leave you young ones to it." The old man says, slowly getting up and taking his leave to which Lesh gives him a small nod and wave.

"So, what's got you so excited Alice? I take it your done with the girls?" Lesh calmly says, watching the bouncing Alice.

"Well one is a crafting class call a Tri-Crafter, she can cook, farm and do any and all forms of tailoring work, from seamstress work to leather work but nothing metal or heavy! Isn't that amazing! It all ties together, she farms her food stuff or fibre items for her clothing which then get changed when she cooks with them or creates outfits!" Alice says excitedly, the prospect of new cloths that she could wear for her fights rather than her basic blue and white one and even more so about the various cosplay outfits she could create for her.

"I see, well I can definitely see why that would excite you so much, it's definitely a great help overall. I'll ask Elena to take her under her wing and help her with the farming aspect of things. What of the others." Lesh asks in thought, finding this to be some rather good news.

"Hehehe, that's just the first one, the rest are even more amazing!" Alice almost squealed, her excitement growing even more, Lesh remained quiet and just waited for her to continue, making a motion with his hand for her to continue.

The others are fighting classes! 1 is a necromancer! Or Spiritmancer? It was a bit confusing but she explained that she could bring bodies back almost like zombies and talk to various spirit like creatures, almost like ghosts but she said there more like things that exist out of sight and always existed, isn't that even more awesome! I mean she can be a one-woman fighting force for us!" Alice says practically jumping happily.

"Oh that is definitely an awesome class, but if the others are fighting classes how is it that they were captured? Especially if one had a class as strong as that and the rest are probably just as strong if not stronger if your reaction is any indication.

"Oh I knew you would ask that! I asked as well, it seems someone we brought with messed with their minds to weaken them before causing them to break mentally, even now they still feel some levels of trauma from what he did, and after they got captured, they just didn't have the will to even try fighting anymore, something he did messed them up badly and for lack of better wording ruined them." She told him, all her excitement and happiness gone, replaced with an extreme seriousness laced with sadness.

Lesh didn't even remotely like hearing any of that, the unholy anger from the night slowly reignited from what he had just heard, a grin spreading on his face, feeling glad he hadn't killed the rat, it really would have been too good for him.

"Let's just focus back on the others now, you still have 2 more girls to tell me about, once you tell me there abilities maybe we can figure out a way to help them all recover, even step by step. John may hate it but I will still make sure they are used to help us for the future even if there broken, if they start recovering along the way good but I will use them for our benefit and feed there darkness to achieve that goal if I have to." He calmly tells Alice receiving a wide-eyed stare as she takes a step back.

"Isn't that a bit much? They clearly went through a lot already." She tells him, trying to get him to sympathize with the girls.

"Honestly, I don't care much, if there useful for the end goal I doesn't matter what will be taken from them or what I will need to do. I will try to aid them and help them recover but my priority for them will be to use them as a special force going forward." He coldly tells her with a glaring look, clearly seeing she was upset but didn't bother.

"Now what are the last 2 girls classes." He asks once more, wanting to know so he can figure out the best use for them all.

"1 is a Techno-engineer, she can work with and communicate with any form or type of technology but also amazing with any kind of basic machine, she found it useless though since no1 really had a use for it anymore and basic engineering things such as engines and generators are controlled now." Alice tells him after calming down a little bit, reminding herself that this isn't John or Braedon but something much colder.

Taking a calming deep breath she braced herself to explain the final girl's class. "The last girl is honestly someone that scares me a bit and I wish you had left her or that we could just get rid of her. I mean I can do it rather easily, just a small cut long the throat or something, I mean we would be better and safer that way." Alice says trying to convince him in her most serious tone once more to let her just kill the last one, something out of character for her well also making him really curious about this entire thing.
