Revenge Reincarnation

"Allow me, the king of the Havvothj'air kingdom, to congratulate you on your recent victory against the green dragon, Nerezza Vingar."

"What? He beat a green dragon? How is that possible? Could he be a hero?" These were the murmurs that echoed all over the hall.

"Now then, lets get to the important things. Guild master. You look like you have something to say." He said while turning turning to face him.

"Hail his majesty. May he have a long and prosperous life."

"Speak."

"If your majesty would be as kind as to lend me his ear." Two guards walked in carrying the ankle chain and placed it next to the guild master. "This was with the dragon. It was used to chain it at the spot." The man standing next to the king was signaled to look at it. He walked up to the chain and saw the emblem on it.

"This is the emblem of the military kingdom of Crinelis." He said. The nobles were shocked.

"Are you sure?"

"Without a doubt."

"EMERGENCY!" A voice was heard from outside the door. It opened. A knight ran in and knelt down.

"Your majesty, soldiers. Soldiers from the military kingdom are headed for the capital from the north east."

"How many?"

"They number at 40,000."

"What? How did they gather so many soldiers without our knowledge?" Some nobles murmured.

"Lords from all factions close to that region. Ready your forces. We're at war." The king commanded.

"Wait just a moment, your majesty." I said.

"Ah. Yes. We'll get back to you after dealing with this. I do hope you understand."

"That isn't what I was gonna say. I have a favor to ask of you." He looked at me with a puzzled face. So did the nobles. "I ask that you let me deal with your current predicament."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean let me get rid of them for you. That way you won't suffer any casualties." The entire hall fell silent. Some had shocked faces while others were even sweating. But they had one thing in common. None dared to say a word.

"This is no time for such jokes." I lifted up my face and looked at him, expressionlessly. He could clearly see my face. How I had no left eye. How my right eye was covered. How I had multiple scars on my body.

"Your asking me to gamble with the lives of my people."

"Quite the contrary, actually."

"What if you fail and they advance even further." I didn't answer. "What do you hope to gain?"

"I hope that you may fulfil a request of mine when I return. For now I ask for a map of the continent that shows where they are."

He thought for a little before answering. "Very well. Follow the knight." He pointed at the man that ran in earlier.

"Then I shall take my leave." I walked out with the knight.

"But, your majesty, are you sure about this?" One man asked.

"Ready your soldiers and keep them on stand by." He said.

I walked to the gate with the soldier who gave me the map and wished me luck. Then I left while studying it. On the west side there were three kingdoms with Havvothj'air being the largest. To its north eastern side was crinelis which was relatively small. There was another to the south.

On the east there were seven kingdoms, the Holy Kingdom being the most noticeable. To its north were two and four to its south. In the center of the continent, was the Reunen Imperium. An Empire. Absolutely massive compared to the other kingdoms on the map. 

Running from the north west to north east were kingdom-sized territories, Sectors. These were Sectors A,B,C,D and F. There was no E. I didn't know what they were so I left it at the thought of neutral territories.

The mark was right at the border of Havvothj'air and Crinelis. The soldier also said that they are camping and will spend at least two more days on the spot. The sun was going down. I gathered sticks and lit a fire under a tree and sat there starring at the fire thinking.

I thought that some people were different. That there were some who saw how evil others were. But I was wrong. From perverted nobles, to street children. They all harassed the slaves. Through insults, beating them up, overworking them, not giving them enough food and other ways. These are the observations I made as I walked through the city towards the gate. Its making me sick. 

As these thoughts were going through my head, someone appeared in front of me. They must've thought I was a sleep because they were really close to me. Observing me. The person wore a robe that covered the head. 

"He's asleep." A woman's voice. She took off her robe. An elf. With purple hair, long and silky, and purple eyes. She came close to my face and closed her eyes. I felt something was off. I blacked out.

"Taneki. Taneki." I turned around and looked at Airi as she ate. "Taneki. Aren't you going to eat?" She said.

"I'm not hungry." I replied and continued zoning out. She looked sad and stopped eating. Not only on that day. But everyday from then for quite a while. She looked weak and expressionless. I couldn't take it. I decided to show her that I'm also eating. So I sat down next to her and ate. Then she looked lively and smiled.

"You should also eat you look too weak."

"Okay." She said happily. That made me smile, then I noticed how she looked at me attentively.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"You know, you should smile more often." As soon as she said this, everything was covered by a dark aura. The female elf appeared. She saw everything.

"What? What's going on. This has never happened before." Then she turned around and saw the me version of the previous world walking further and further away from her. She followed but I soon stopped and turned around, staring at her. Then she looked above me and saw a huge face in the dark that looked like mine in its current state with a huge smile. 

She got scared and woke up, trying to escape but I caught her. "Who do you think you are trying to see my memories." I noticed how frightened she was and let go of her hand. She jumped back looking ready to fight back.

"I'm not like the others." She said. "I'm stronger. I can fight back. Don't think that you've won just yet." I looked at her attentively and decided to say something.

"I'm also not like the rest." She was puzzled. "I'm also stronger and can fight back but not at you. You hate humans don't you?" She didn't reply. "So do I."

"Lies. Your trying to catch me off guard. I won't fall for your tricks."

"You've been following me ever since yesterday when I fought the green dragon. Though I don't know how you got here so fast since I used a teleportation circle, I could sense that you were close by after I walked out of the capital. I had every opportunity to catch you off guard."

"Lies."

"I just caught you right now."

'Oh yeah.' She thought.

"If you don't believe me then just stick around. I'll show you that I'm much stronger and I hate the humans." So she didn't leave and spent the night closely watching me.

The next day, we arrived at the place where the soldiers were camping. Right on time too. They were just about to leave. We stared at them from the top of a hill a bit far away. I told the elf to stand back, then I started thinking. I need a skill that's powerful enough to kill all of them quickly. But that's not all. It has to be flashy. Something that many people can see. Its the first part of my plan. Any thoughts, Clara?

"How about a cursed skill."

Which one?

"You could summon a heaven's tower." A heaven's tower? How? "First you need to choose the one that you need. There is Army level, City level, Nationwide, Continental and worldly. However, with your current amount of mana, you could only summon until Nationwide level."

Before I did it, I looked around the city using a skill that's a combination of zoom, all seer and search. I learnt that Crinelis also had slaves and they were treated the same as in Havvothj'air. It irritated me. That's not all. When I asked Clara to tell me about this country, I learnt a few things.

The nobles and the king were corrupt people. They stole money from the citizens to live luxurious lives and increase military power. They also kidnapped people and forced them to join their army. This led to many poor people engage in crime. Murder, theft, rape, kidnaps, slavery, selling kingdom secrets to other kingdoms and many more. Its a country standing on its one and only leg, military might.

All the country does is try to go on conquering conquests all the time. They've tried multiple times to conquer a sector for its resources but failed in all of them. They've tried to take over smaller kingdoms in the east but failed that as well. Not a single time have they ever succeeded. Yet here they are.

Clara. I opened my eye and it glowed a beautiful pink color. This increased my power by three times. The elf looked at me wondering what I was about to do. I choose nationwide. Then she showed me how to summon it which is done by speaking in a divine language that I understood because of my Linguistic skill. 

I started chanting. In my mind, it was just a normal language but she looked at me, knowing exactly what I was doing when she heard the language, even though she didn't understand. 

" Heaven is merciful. Heaven is divine. Guests from the world are allowed into heaven when they die. Die from each other, or die from the world itself."

"What are you doing? Your speaking in the divine language. Do you have any idea what you are about to do?" She asked but noticed I wasn't listening.

" However, at this time, I ask for heaven not to be merciful." The sky darkened. The darkness could be seen everywhere around the continent. From the people in Crinelis, to priests in the Holy Kingdom. It became windy. An unnatural wind that kept picking up speed.

"I ask that heaven may continue allowing guests, but to give them the reason for coming." There was an earthquake. The ground beneath the feet of the soldiers rose. Then the soil and rocks cleared out and a massive metal platform appeared. 

"What's going on?" The soldiers said. "Why can't I move my feet? Could this be... Euracknium? No! That's impossible. It only appears in heaven's towers."

"I ask that heaven may give them a taste of what to expect when they come to you." A massive blue magic circle with an outer ring appeared in the sky. People from Crinelis and Havvothj'air could see it.

"What's that?" The people in Crinelis wondered. "Could it be..." In Havvothj'air, the king and other nobles in a meeting room stared outside the window looking at the magic circle murmuring, "It can't be."

"I ask that heaven may show its power to them."

"No... I don't want to die. I don't want to die!" Some soldiers screamed. Others cried, others tried running away but their feet wouldn't move.

"To you, heaven, I ask that you may bring down your ultimate attack. That you may link the world with you once more. To you, I ask, for the Heaven's Tower."

And the magic circle inside the magic ring began to descend. It was the under side of something that looked like an absolutely massive metal rod with blue lines running across it in all directions. The soldiers tried to escape. They still couldn't move. Some even considered cutting their own feet. But one of them stared straight up.

'This is it. This is where I die.' He thought. Then he remembered how he left his family. His wife and two sons, one of whom was newly born. How their lives have been relatively easy for them. How they were always happy. How he left his home three days ago to go into war, promising his elder son, whose still a kid, that he'll come back with a gift for him. Promising his worried wife to come back safe and sound. 'I'm sorry.'

The metal rod fell on the platform and crushed the soldiers underneath. When it hit, there was an earthquake that shook the entire continent. The soldier's wife and kids felt as the ground shook when they saw the Heaven's Tower hit the ground. The wife started crying. The people around panicked. But it wasn't over.

The earthquake continued, toppling buildings over the people, opening sinkholes that sucked many. In the ocean, the earthquake caused a fault line movement that pushed a large volume of water. A tsunami.

As the people in Crinelis were recovering from the earthquake, they felt a sudden wind change and the ground shaking again. Screams were heard. Rushing water was heard. In a large amount of force, the water swept away everyone and everything. The wife of the soldier tried to cover his two month old son with herself but was swept away.

The boy, however survived. Something like an invisible wall covered him and the water went around him.

The water didn't get to where I was and went back. Just like that, I was finished.

"What do you think now, do you still believe that I am your enemy?" I asked her. She didn't answer. So I turned around and went back. I arrived at the city, where there were thousands of knights waiting for something. They all stared at me as I made my way to the palace.

"Is that him?" One fearfully asked the other.

"I believe so."

I went to the throne room where many people were waiting. I walked across the hall and knelt down before the king.

"Your majesty, I am here to report that its done. Not only were the soldiers wiped out, but the entire military kingdom no longer exist." Silence fell on the entire hall. Only fear could be felt.

"C... Congratulations on another win against two major enemies in two days. First a dragon then an entire army. Truly remarkable."

"Your majesty, I'm not here for your praise. You promised to fulfill my request."

"Ah. Yes. Of course. What would you like?" At that time, in his words, I felt it. True fear. The first part of my plan was a success. Just you wait goddess. I'm coming for you. You'll regret everything you did to me.

At that time, in the Holy Kingdom.

"Your Holiness, its been confirmed." A man bowing in front of another person behind light curtains said. They were in a small and bright hall. The man wore white robes with a sign on it. The sign looked like a cross that had two vertical lines which met on one end. "It really was a Heaven's Tower."

"I see." An old man's voice was heard from behind the curtains. "Contact the Empire. Inform them of my visit."

"Yes, your holiness." The man left.

'It has began.' He thought. 'The prophecy from tens of thousands of years ago is real. We cannot let the world now about this. He must be taken care of... Goddess, I stand with you. To the very end.'
