Life after that turn becomes very peaceful, at least for me, Alex. Sophia and I find ourselves mostly in the mansion's garden. I bought Sariel orbs for our garden's protection; no one can enter our place without getting hit by Sariel's laser.Sophia has already tried to contact the Academy since security in America worsened when James declared war on the US president. With millions of Sariel orbs and soldiers under William and George's command, the president basically let them enter the White House. With George becoming the president of America, I think he will eventually pass the presidency to James.However, some people cannot accept this. They try to demonstrate and cause chaos, but James quickly handles it. The Sariel orbs continue to kill beasts all around the world, making James the king of the world. It is expected to bring total peace to the world within the next year.Anyway, I am no longer concerned about the world's problems. I am with Sophia in the garden; she is reading a
Water plants and coral flowers mostly lived in areas with lots of sunlight, usually in shallow waters. When sea water receded, those plants slowly emerged above the ocean surface.They continued trying to survive on land for millions of years.Gradually, after hundreds of millions of years passed, plants that could live on land emerged, and they dominated the land with the help of rainwater.They grew very large and took over the entire land.From the coastline, I saw the land for the first time.What is beyond the ocean?That question had long been inside me. I asked all the fish I knew. They didn't know and didn't care about my question. They just needed water and small fish, oh... with the addition of female fish.What is the meaning of this life if I can't solve its mystery?I finally dared to try jumping out of the water and landed on the coral rocks.Land... Here I come...I flopped around and died.Curiosity can kill you.Life went on for millions of years.From the carcasses o
If I didn't get water, I would soon die. My breath became labored, I needed water. My two fins, aided by my tail, started to slow down, and my head began to spin. Because I had run too far, the ocean looked so distant."Just a little more," said my friend encouragingly.I saw the waves in front of my eyes. But my fins had started to weaken. The sun's heat burned my skin."Just a little more," said another.I tried to move with all my strength."Just a little more and you'll die, don't move," my friend shouted joyfully. I died.Better to die as a cool fish.In the next life, I became a 'super cool' fish and tried that dangerous game for millions of years again until I became 'very super cool.''Very super cool' was a land animal that no longer needed to live in the sea. Unlike amphibians that always had to return to the sea, we dedicated ourselves to exploring the entire land.We only needed to drink water at certain times to survive. We became reptiles or lizards. Our food was insects
About 2 million years ago.I saw a deer grazing peacefully. I had been waiting for it for half a day. A wooden spear was raised in my hand, ready to be thrown. This time my child and wife would eat meat. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound echoed from the sky in all directions. The vibration felt very strong on my skin. Birds became restless and flew away from the direction of the sound. The deer I was targeting also fled along with all the forest animals.I looked up at the sky through the dense leaves of the trees. There, I saw millions of creatures flying and moving, filling the entire blue sky.The whole sky was flooded with shrill screams and the sound of clashing metal echoing everywhere. Glowing explosions spread as far as the eye could see.The sky seemed to collapse and kept dropping thousands of glowing creatures riding beautiful vehicles, fully armed, and wearing shimmering robes. From the ground, thousands of large, ugly, bare-chested creatures, armed with makeshift weapons, k
We Ashura people generally only wear pants. Always bare-chested, and if we wear anything, it must be armor for war. Not clothes like those worn by women. Beautiful, neat, and shining.“Ptooey!” I spat.Both camps flew closer with terrifying speed. Weapons were directed at each other. Just seconds before both sides would collide, yet neither slowed down. Each kept increasing their flying speed and strengthening their weapons in hand.A war general from the gods' camp shot ahead of the other gods towards me. Perhaps the god of war, Ares.“Die!” he shouted.“Good!” I said, smiling broadly. I shot to the front, and we faced each other at high speed.As we met, he thrust a shining spear at me like lightning trying to pierce my chest. I dodged quickly, and my large fist struck the front of his body protected by a metal shield. My full strength flowed, and the blow landed with a horrifying sound. Combined with my initial flying speed, God Ares was instantly thrown to the edge of the earth li
I walked through the vast and majestic courtyard of God Indra's palace. Not a shadow in sight.Stepping onto the stone steps, I entered his palace and kept shouting his name.“INDRA! Show your cowardly face!”Inside his palace, I saw lotus ponds lining the path to the inner parts of the palace.“INDRA, THE COWARD! Are you hiding in your mother's embrace? Are you crying? Your subordinate gods are being tortured. They're screaming for their king, where are you hiding, coward?” I shouted as loudly as possible.Who doesn't know that Indra is famous for his cowardice and cunning? Every time he lost a battle against the Ashura, he would run into his mother's embrace. Aditi, the mother of the gods, and cry, persuading her to find a way to put him back on the throne. This has happened repeatedly.I smelled the scent of lotus and other fragrances in Indra's palace. “Ptooey... INDRA! Are you wearing women's clothes? Your palace smells like a woman! Show your face if you're a man.”I shouted for
“Bargu,” I called one of my generals.He immediately looked at me with an extremely distressed face. “Don't choose me, king.”“Randu?”A small giant appeared and shook his head. “Don't torture me, king. We want to have fun. We won this battle.”None of them wanted to accept the position.“The position of God Vayu is an honorable one!” God Vayu shouted at them all. “Full of dedication, responsibility, serving many people, following the harmony of nature... blah... blah... blah...” He lectured for another half hour, ending again by saying to me, “Give this position to an honorable person! Not to someone who is half-hearted and does not understand the importance of this role.”I scratched my head. We Ashura only understood honor through battle. We also didn't want to be burdened by many rules and duties. We just wanted to have fun.I looked again at the ugly faces of the Ashura, fearing I might force them to take on the role.“Alright, God Vayu. No one wants your position. Stay in your p
“Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the
