Aubrey had been an orphan since he was seven and was never adopted for the next eleven years of his life.

After finally freeing himself from his own living hell, an orphanage involved with the underworld, Aubrey started his new life going to a prestigious university.

Almost three years later government workers came to him and claimed that his aunt and uncle had died only leaving behind their four month old daughter.

Aubrey knew he had an uncle since he was young, but he had never met him for various reasons.

Aubrey then adopted the tiny little thing as his own daughter, refusing to be like his uncle and leaving a small child to fend for themselves.

Nine years later Aubrey’s twenty-ninth birthday was fast approaching and a virus started spreading and almost instantly Aubrey and his daughter, Ember, were thrown into the zombie apocalypse.

Aubrey soon awakened four blessings and was sought after by many and Aubrey soon lost Ember to those schemes.

Aubrey spent the next seven years as a puppet only meant for killing to protect Ember, only to lose her from illness.

Aubrey’s last memory was of lying in the middle of the bloody battlefield and staring up at the raining sky.

When his eyes finally closed he soon found himself as a newborn baby in another world.

Once again he was taken for his blessings, but this time as a newborn child and was trained to be an assassin in a do or die environment.

With killing already engraved into his soul he soon was chosen as the next clan leader and later became the youngest in history.

Once again he found his last memory amidst blood and rain, and he once again opened his eyes as a newborn baby.

He was born a slave in his third life and found nothing new in his way of life of killing and obedience, until he was taken in by the Duke on a whim.

He started training with a sword, with etiquette, with words, with money, and soon proved his worth and was given a name.

No longer a slave he became a knight and swore his loyalty to the young master, the next Duke, but once again he lived in a world of killing and obedience even though in a different form.

Soon Aubrey forgot how many lives he had lived and many started to blend together, the only memory staying alive of his one and only daughter.

No matter how many times he found himself taking his last breath amongst the blood of others and his own, along with the pouring rain.

After who knows how long Aubrey awoke once more, but no longer in the body of a newborn baby, but as his twenty year old original self.

Ember would be coming to live with him soon and he would never lose her like before.

The beast had finally been released from his cage and he would no longer serve obediently, he would take his fate into his own hands.

Will the beast consume him or will someone able to calm the beast finally come along after so long?

The sound of a pen could be heard throughout the silent room, only filled with the breathing of two men and a baby.

Setting down the pen he used to sign his name for the final time, the young man hard to describe with only the words handsome and beautiful with his black hair and green eyes, held back a smile.

A few more words were exchanged between him and the man before him, before he was left alone with just the tiny girl, looking just like a doll with her black hair and golden eyes.

He took a deep breath before running his delicate and flawless hand through his hair.

The young man turned to the tiny baby who also looked up at him.

After some time the baby smiled and stretched her hands out towards him.

Happy to obey his baby girl’s wish, the young man picked her up and showed a rare, small smile down at her.

“Ember, my one and only daughter, your father is finally back and he’ll never let something happen to you again.

Daddy’s sorry for being unable to protect you, but he’ll make sure you live the life you deserve.”

With that, the eternal young man, Aubrey Brennan, finally accepted his sins and started his life once more.

This time he would never let the only person he ever cared about suffer for his mistakes.

He was finally home.

[ Note: This story will start nine years later.

A few months before the zombie apocalypse actually arrives.

At that point in time Aubrey has used his skills and abilities he has collected throughout his many lives to create an empire both in the shadows and in the light.

But he was always mysterious and never met anyone under his own name, but with a pseudonym.

He gave all his time to his daughter and gave her a life where she could have anything she wanted.

Of course he prepared her for the real world and trained her in the many fighting techniques over the course of her childhood, for he knew the apocalypse was coming and he could do nothing to stop it.

So when the first chapter starts Aubrey will be twenty-eight, almost twenty-nine, while Ember is nine.

This book is also a BL so if you don’t like that please get lost, no offense, I just don’t want haters.

Though is you are homophobic and want to read this story feel free to stay, but if I find any hate comments (not that I’m expecting anyone to actually read my story) I won’t be happy.

So again if you would just leave that would be much appreciated because that way we could all live our lives just a little happier!

Thank you to those of you who have humored both me and MangaToon’s 500 word rule, for reading this if you have.

I’m at 486 words now so I think I’ll just say a little more not that I really have a choice.

Oh! Wait! We are now at 511 words so I think we’re all good!

Well that’s that then.

Goodbye and I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
