Rise of the Apocalypse Era - 14 Who is who

inside a room of the ancestral mansion

Fine furnitures decorated the room. The wooden bed made of red cypress emits a relaxing smell causing the black haired youth snuggles on his pillow. The obvious frown on his face noticeably reduce as he start to relax on his sleep or rather as he was freed from his nightmare.

Also inside the room are two middle aged men. One is wearing a standard tuxedo the other is wearing white garb gown, a standard dress of a butler and a doctor. The man in tuxedo keeps a calm facade but his eyes betrayed him and shows the worry for his one and only young master. He then said to the other man

“What do you think happened to him, Dr. Oh”

the man named oh replied to the anxious and worried butler “His body and spirit is normal with no trace of poison nor hexes, unless its something higher than tier 4 or else the ancestral spirit vase would already detect and purge it out the young master. Even if its tier 5 the vase can still detect it albeit not had the ability to cure such level of poison or curse.”

saying this the doctor cannot also help but to show worry then he continued

“”ill try to contact my master to help, its better if you dont let him leave the ancestral mansion at least theres a definite protection here.”

the butler agreed and nod his head no matter who it is they needed to pay for this how dare them have idea about the young master

“Ryan do you think his uncles death has got to do with this? maybe its a ritual xxxxx prepared by using his death as catalysts”

“its possible, they have bloodline connection after all and its one of the effective way of curse and most important of all that man is mad. Bringing someone done with him is something he would surely fantasised and implement.”

“Sadly im too lacking, if we can find some clues i might know where its from and from there find the solution. Is it Western continent magia hex or Southern ancestral or maybe the eastern Five poison family?”

“the weird things that kept happening recently makes the butler worry, ren overeating, some things about apocalypse, change of attitude to his uncle who he always trust and even killing him, later the phsyco like attitude and having breakdown and tearing up while eating the dirty pastry, and finally passing out.”

The butler sigh and composed his self, he walks toward a window and muttered

“With my authority as the head butler and one of the hidden shadow prepare for the spirt ritual, i want all key personnel of the ancestral mansion inluding myself undergoe from the test. Also give me a detailed report about the people the young master interact with for the past 3 months, Contact jerome and tell him what happens emphasize the young master abnormality in emotion and physical states such as hurting hisself, crying, change of personality and his abnormal high body attributes.”

a soft and slightly sharp breeze hummed outside as if it was answering the butlers command

……

A few hours later and few minutes before the dawn arrived

The starry sky ceiling greeted Ren as he finally open his eyes. This alert the five maid surrounding his bed. One of the maid quickly call the head butler Ryan using her phone.

Another one maid then step forward and ask “is there anything you need master?”

Instead of aswering the maid question, Ren continue to stare into the ceiling. Instead of daydreaming or losing his soul he was actually communicating with his system

“what happen to me”

“what do you mean, please be more specific”

“i mean my personality why do i become a lil bit crazy, i think nothing like an adult, my emotion keeps overwhelming me? Its like im not the real me? Am i possed? dont tell me you are taking over my body”

“please dont be too paranoic. Explaining the current phenomena will cost you 100 Gk points simple, 500 normal, 1000 informed, 10000 detailed, Please choose9

“Select detailed”

“detailed explanation will cost 10 000 GK points confirm transaction”

“Confirm!”

“A fragment of Karmic River conciousness send your soul, the 26 year old you from the future to this year 2033. Simply put the 26 year old Ren was put in the body of 15 year old Ren but there is already “you” in that body. Only one soul are allowed to exist in one body. The worlds law will not permit it and will wipe one of the souls. Fortunately you are the same soul just from different time so instead of oblitering one of the soul. You instead fused with the 15 year old you. The teen and adult you with different metality and experieced merged together. The phenomena you are suffering currently is due to the instability caused by the fusion. It will last at least a week before the sequella will vanish but also after that a new you will appear.”

“what a new me? thats ridiculous no matter how i see it. Its like having a personality disorder and the main personality will die.”

“then what do you want, do you want to kill the 15 year old you? And i think you still dont undestand what i say. Although i say the soul of future Ren fused with the current soul, Its the same soul and will not change you at all. You can simply interpret it as a memory or experiece you gain. Simply put a person yesterday and today is two different people but fundamentalynstill the same. He just experience ew things and grow. Just like now that you learn things about the future, you just grow up and change your view about some things. Whether its the 15 year old or 25 year old you is the same Ren. Human are really complicated beings, you always thought yourself as special so you will always forget the basic and the truth.”

“I understand but at the same time i dont, No matter who is the current me. I just need to reach my goal. Live my life, survive and repay good and bad debts.”
