Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Ren's Backstory 1

On a sunny afternoon,Ren was going through the shopping district, he was planning to buy something.

"What do i get Lora for her birthday, she is actually turning 14 tomorrow, i think she will accept anything from me, but i still have to think on what to get for her."

He walked through a store,he saw a yellow cocktail gown, he looked at the dress for sometime before smiling towards it.

"I think these is the dress."

"Excuse me sir." a lady tapped Ren's shoulder

Ren looked back.

"Me?"

"Yes,you."

"Is there anyway i can help you?"

The lady grinned, which instantly sent shivers down Ren's spine.

"Ren, isn't that what they call you?"

"Lady i do not know you, why do you know my name."

"Come on Ren don't tell me you have forgotten about me."

"Again lady i do not know you...."

Tanya, Mio,Lora,Ellen,Elsia,Lilly and Billy appears right beside Ren.

"You guys what are you doing here?"

"Hey buddy."

"I asked what are you doing here, and what's going on?"

"I don't know how to explain these to you, but just know that the lady over there is bad news, let Mio explain better."

"Okay explain."

He said turning to look at Mio.

"Ren, you are in tro...."

Multiple spikes impale Mio's chest ,forcing her to cough out blood.

"Mio!!!" everyone screamed.

"My,my did staying in the lower world really affect you these much?"

"Lady what are you talking about?"

"I guess these insect will get in our way..."

Mio's blood begins to fall.

"Tanya isn't there a way to help her?"

"Why is she not regenerating?"

"Ellen,Elsia get her somewhere safe!"

"Okay."

The lady appears right in front of the two girls.

"No you won't."

She said touching their heads causing it to explode.

"Ellen!,Elsia!"

"You bastard!"

Tanya formed a blood scythe, as she charged towards the lady.

"You monster!, i will make you suffer!"

With a powerful swing she sliced the whole building into two, but the lady dodged it effortlessly.

"why put so much force behind a swing that you will miss."

She snapped her fingers dissolving Tanya's blood scythe.

"What?"

"What, he has never showed you these tricks before, i guess he hasn't taught you anything."

They looked at Ren.

"Ren do you know these lady?"

"I do not know he..."

Almost instantly everyone else was impaled by the lady's spear.

"That's not good Ren, lying to them before they die,would you truly deny me." she said as she started to laugh.

"No,no, no,no Tanya, Sylvia,Lilly,Billy,Lora, you monster!,what have you done!"

"A king who does not know his rightful position, will be shown how to rule his people."

"What are you talking about."

The lady snapped her finger as she resurrect all the dead people into her undead armies.

"What do you think, they look perfect to join my squad, don't they?" she kept on laughing.

"Why did you kill them, they had nothing to do with us?"

"No, that's not true, they had everything to do with us, they were hindrance to your power."

"Who are you really?, i do not have any idea who you are, but you have gone to far."

"The more you ask who i am the more angry i get, because of these insignificant world,you have forgotten about me."

"But i do not really know who you are..."

The lady released multiple tentacles as they pierced through everybody around the surrounding environment.

"Do i have to kill every human in the world for you to remember me?"

"Why are you doing these?"

"For fun, oh!, i know why don't i allow one of your friends to kill you so then will you remember who i am."

"No, no don't kill me!"

Tanya,Mio,Lilly,Lora,Billy,Sylvia,Ellen and Elsia all woke up together at the same time.

A dream, it's just a dream. they all said simultaneously.

Ren was trying to get water when he bumped into Lora.

"Good day big brother."

"Hello there Lora."

"What are you doing these early morning?"

"I was trying to get water then head back to the fitness hall."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"Not really, big brother can i ask you a question?"

"You just did."

"I am serious."

"Fine, ask your question."

"Big brother do you know of any powerful lady?"

"Yes i know a bunch and Lora,you are one of them."

"Not my type of strong, but someone who is capable of destroying everyone and everything."

"What are you talking about?"

"Please i need you to tell me the truth."

"Sure but what's going on?"

"Just try to remember if you have met someone who is a little bit chaotic and powerful."

"That would be Elsia."

"Anyway just be safe."

"Sure."

Lora left without looking back, while Ren stood there frozen looking blank.

"Something is definitely wrong with her, well i need to head back."

Ren heads towards the fitness hall but on his way he saw Mio sneaking around and he walked behind her.

"Ohh hey sis."

She froze up in fear.

"What's with you running around, sneaking."

Mio looked at Ren for a second before she started crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"Thank God she did not kill you."

"Who?"

"The scary lady."

"What scary lady?"

"The scary lady who... no wait what was i talking about?"

"I should be asking you?"

"You, wait what's going on?"

Ren touched Mio's shoulder

"Sis calm down,okay."

It took about two minutes for Ren to calm Mio.

"Take a deep breath."

She took a deep breath.

"Good, now what's the problem?"

"Okay, so now i want to ask you if you know any powerful lady,who is capable of interacting with the system."

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, i can't remember any lady that powerful."

"Okay, but please stay safe, don't go anywhere without me."

"Sure, but why?"'

"Don't worry."

Mio walked away quickly, Ren looked at her.

What's with both of them, and who is these lady they are asking me about?, no one should ever ask me about a mysterious lady, i have no idea about.

Ren was heading towards the fitness hall, in there he met Tanya,Lilly and Billy.

"Oh, hey guys."

They all stopped for a second, they turned their neck to look at Ren.

"Hey Ren."

"How is it hanging buddy?"

"I am good, but you guys don't look good."

"Is that so?"

"I think we are all okay."

"Is that so, anyway time to lift some bars."

Ren begins to lift some dumbbell, but the three were looking at Ren, with a terrified look.

"Ren are you okay?"

Ren looked at Tanya.

"Yes i am good, what's with you all?"

"Nothing."

"Is that so?, then you guys stop giving me that weird stare."

"Sure."

They all continued for some time but they still kept staring at him.

"Okay, now what?"

"Ren can i ask you something?"

"Do i know any powerful lady that is strong, strong enough to interfere with the system or strong enough to destroy all of you in one shot."

"How did you know?"

"Because you all are weird, everyone has been behaving weird around me."

"Well do you?"

"Do i what?"

"Do you know any powerful woman?"

"Off course not."

"Ren please whatever you do be safe."

"What's with you guys."

Ren left the fitness room, and he heads straight into his room.

Every one has been acting weird, asking me strange question, but something is definitely up.

Ren enters his room, in his room he sees Ellen and Elsia sleeping on his bed.

"What are these two doing here?, and why are they in my room?"

"Master."

"Ren."

"Are they sleep talking?, well i better not disturb their sleep."

Ren walked towards his study table, he draws a chair,he picks up a book and he starts reading, five minutes after Ellen begins to move showing signs that she is awake, Ren looks at her on his bed.

"Hello there Ellen."

"Ren."

She jumps off his bed towards his hand.

"What's with you?"

"Ren." she begins crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"Please i need you to tell me the truth."

"What?"

"Do you know any powerful lady, that is capable of stealing you away from us?"

"What are you talking about?, would someone please fill me on what's going on?"

"Ren, please answer my question?"

"I don't know any lady powerful enough to trouble all of you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes,so would you fill me on what's going om?"

"It's better if we show you personally, you can read my mind master."Elsia said standing from the bed.

"If something is terrifying enough, that you all can't talk about,but will rather show me, then i can't begin to imagine what these is."

Ren walks towards Elsia and he placed his hand on her head and closed his eyes,after some few minutes he opened his eyes.

That presence i have seen it before,and i am definitely sure i have felt it,but from who and what's the deal with that lady, why didn't she reveal who herself?,there are a lot o unanswered question, but why do i feel uneasy is these some kind of sign?

"Elsia, Ellen i need your help."

"What do you want from us?"

"Firstly, i need you two to go to every mall in the district, ask for their surveillance record."

"Would they allow us?"

"You can shape shift to any of my sisters, then use our family influence to get in."

"Okay, but why do you need these records?"

"Yes,it's not like it has happened."

"You guys are missing something, these issue might be one of two things,firstly what if you all had the same dream, but these lady you faced is the one manipulating your dreams,secondly what if it's just you from another timeline that is requesting your help,my guess is these lady is the one controlling everything."

"So what do you want?"

"Request for the video from the past 48 hours."

"What do you intend to do with those video?"

"It's a secret for now, we do not know what will happen from now, but i suggest you two,should try your best in securing those video for me."

"As you wish master."

"Okay."

"And one more thing."

"What?"

"No fighting or arguing among yourselves."

"Sure." they both said and they left his room.

Why do i feel like these, is something wrong with my plan, is it flawed?

Ren shook his head and he smiled.

Back on the dark planet,the empress was seating on her throne,she was lost in thought.

Flashback.

[In a small village, there was a young girl walking along multiple destroyed buildings.]

"What happened here?"

The man following her,instantly bowed slightly.

"Mistress, we found in the record of the past of a powerful demon,that has the ability to turn human, it has stayed in these tiny village for decades."

"What has these got to do with these destroyed village?"

"Well the demon has a son, a son that was always maltreated,by the other villagers, when the villagers discovered he wasn't human, they began by torturing his son,day and night,they would send him on errands to torture his son and blackmail him not to tell his father, and finally they killed him by burning him by using a holy technique that completely destroys demons."

"What?,why?"

"Humans are terrified of the unknown, be it good or bad,as long as they don't understand what you are, they will definitely react."

"So what was his reaction?, to the death of his son."

"Nothing."

The lady was confused.

"What!, what do you mean nothing?"

"Yes, he knows what they did,but due to race difference he couldn't react,they hated him,they despised him for being a demon,and he accepted it, they killed his son,they destroyed the entire village to execute his son, he didn't complain or argue all he did was leave, and currently he is at the border of the neighboring village."

"Hurry up!, we need to catch up with him!"

"Why?"

"If he left with that type of feeling,even a demon would have his own limit."

"What are you planning to do your majesty?"

"I want to see him myself."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why would i be afraid?"

The empress walked towards a building,she touched it as she saw like a flash back of the demon leaving the village smiling.

"These man didn't leave without smiling."

"What's your plan?"

"Meet with him at least once."
