*************************************

|Peter Griem is an not-so innocent teenager at 8 grade

He wakes up on his daily routine.|

"PETA!"-His mom shouts,while Patting his leg to get ready for school

"Alright.."-Peter speaks, Tired and mumbled.

He gets out the bed and goes to change clothes for his school uniform

"I'm gonna make your breakfast while you change"-His mom says

"Alright go ahead"-Peter says

After done changing his uniform, Peter gets his deodorant and perfume ready, applying it on his body and then organizing his wavy black hair.

Peter prooceds to put the right material on his backpack, and then climbing downstairs with it

"What hour is it"-Peter asks, sitting on the living room couch with an Tv on front of it

"It's 6:36 am"-His mother says, placing The sandwich on the Table seperating The TV and couch.

"Grisha!You forgot to give the boy an good ol' coffee I made"-His grandma says loudly

"Oh yeah I forgot"-His mom,Or better, Grisha answers, getting an cup, pouring the coffee on it and placing it next to the bread.

"Thanks"-Peter says,Prooceding to eat the sandwich and coffee.

.....

7:01 When Peter checks the TV

"Mom it's late already! Call the Uber!"

-Peter Shouts.

"Alright I'm calling it, calm down!" -Grisha exclaims,Sitting down and calling the Uber for his school.

....

Now Peter arrives at his school,Globe Rater Education, as always, an weird name.

Peter gets face to face with the school. Door guard "Phone on the box!" Richard says

"Ain't with it"-Peter says, with the most cheap lie ever, but since Richard couldn't prove him wrong and it's against the law to get from his backpack, He shuts up.

Peter climbs up the st*irs twice Reaching the last floor for the eight grade, entering the class he daps His home bro,Brian, up, doing the loudest crack.

"Ey what's up Black-a-chan"-Peter taunts without any caring for his future.

"Sup negative-foot-kudasai"-Brian taunts back, It's always like this anyways.

" Yeah yeah Whatever"-Peter talks back, Sitting on the chair behind Brian.

....

Yuri, His Friend reaches the class at 7:33,almost being left out

"Late I see"-The History teacher says, Tired and annoyed

"Yeah my bad"-Yuri says,with remorse on his eyes,, sitting on his chair next to Peter.

..........

12:00 Pm

The school bells rings, everybody comes out running out the class, of course, Peter too, who wouldn't want to run away anyways?

Peter daps his friends up Before dashing away, running in the Dirty streets.

But it's weird,,

The world feels quiet, off.

Peter reaches his home at 12:26, opening the gate to his house,not that animated any more.

"I'm home!"-Peter shouts.

...

But there's no answer, Totally Futile.

Peter gets weirded out, but goes along with it,He opens the front door,house still quiet.

"Meh,They might have gone to the supermarket"-Peter thinks loudly, walking up the stairs to his room.

He opens the door.

Blood, blood, an bloodbath, Grisha, Milly, their corpses.

Peter just stares, frozen, with his mouth open, his eyes watering in despair,his mind going everywhere and nowhere, everything feels blurry, before he hears an step, and a pain on his chest, heavy, but weirdly not from emotion.

Peter looks down, an sharp blade through his stomach, and he starts Screaming in pain, agonizing as he bleeds out, the killer running away, The pain of his intestine wanting to leave his body,bleeding while everything else blurs, and blurs.

" I would never forgive myself if you died, neither your grandma"

Everything becomes black, darkness eating his heart back and forth.

12:26

He opens his eyes again,Shaking,standing in front of the Gate, he falls in the floor, feeling unwell.

[Ch.1 end]

**************************************

12:26

An soul crushing sound Screechs on his eardrums.

Peter Griem opens His eyes Once Again,Shaking,Standing in front of the Gate, he falls in the floor, feeling unwell.

He Takes Minutes to recompose himself.

He gets up And takes an look around, everything isn't the same,Brick houses are now luxurious, even his own house had changed,The world being notably different every look.

[Where I am at..]

Peter is weirded out,But more confused Than scared

Peter Opens the gate of his house, the front door and garage being the same, Peter is still scared, but chills out a little at the sight of familiarity

Peter opens the front door and steps foot on the living room, as soon as he turns his head left, he depares himself with an adult woman, not his granny or mother, he gets slightly desperate as the woman starts screaming with full force

"Calm down!I entered the wrong house! -Peter says, Hoping to calm everything Down with his words, but it's futile. An adult man comes downstairs Quickly With an shotgun in hands.

"CALM DOWN I'M SORRY FOR ENTERING"-Peter shouts Desperate to stay alive, But it doesn't change anything.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTERING MY PROPERTY LITTLE SHIT!"-The adult says,Grabbing Peter my his arm and putting the gun into his mouth

"I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO"-Peter cries out,His body trembling

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌!

an loud sound echoes through the room, Peter brain In pieces on the floor, his jaw divided in two, his body full of blood, His death instant, But the burnout existed.

Again, that sound, Loud Screech on his Eardrum.

12:26

Peter Opens his eyes again, In front of The Gate, The world still different, Despair on his eyes, but calming down slighty to think.

[What happened... Did I die?.. or was it an dream... But everything is real right now, feels real at least.]

Peter looks around once more, this time, he decides to knock on the gate of his 'house'

𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤, 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤, 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤

"Whos there?"-???, The voice from an adult woman, unknown for Peter, but the tone still familiar

Peter takes an step back His leg and body shaking, remembering the despair from moments ago.

The gate opens, revealing an adult woman with blonde hair, Black hoodie and a jeans,Her voice is sweet

"Are you okay kid?"-She asks, seeing the Fearful eyes on Peter's Face

Peter just stares, Face to face with an trauma,but he cools off Quickly, trying to Form out an phrase, but ending up mad with his own mind

[This isn't real, it can't be, mother, grandma, where are you,, help me]

"I'm fine.."-Peter says, His voice shaky, He wants to ask one thing,But it get stuck on his throat, fear holding every word back.

"Do you need Help?"-The woman asks, her blonde hair becoming brighter on the scolding sun.

"No, No!, I'm alright"-Peter exclaims, The despair slowly creeping in his voice, He is trying his best not to die if he actually did die previous times.

"Well, alright, I'm here if you want anything"-The woman says, Closing the gate Between them, But before The gate closes, Peter catches a glimpse of An Teenager with spiky blonde hair on the background, holding an sharp tool, Peter sweats cold for a second.

With the gate now closed, Peter takes an look around, thinking of what he will do from now on, since he doesn't even know where he is at any more.

Peter walks away from his old house, Now Sprinting to Find his School, every Street being familiar, but Houses, groceries, shops,everything had changed.

11 Minutes pass, He finally reaches the street of his school, But it's now an High school, not middle.

[What...what about my friends.?]

Peter Stares, even more despair kicking in,, He decides to run away, Trying to run from this reality, hoping that he will scratch his eyes and be back to Normal.

Peter runs, runs, for almost 30 minutes Before collapsing on the ground on an luxury street.

"Who let this Trash On Our streets, Ew!"

-???, in a disgusted tone

Peter looks up, sweating, He encounters an White woman with black dyed hair and Blue eyes, wearing an expensive-looking dress.

"Don't Ever Exist near me again!"-She says, landing an kick on Him, His head getting slammed on the ground.

Peter Coughes blood "GH!"-He complains, The pain on his jaw Intense from the hard kick.

"Fuck.. You!"-Peter Swears,Annoyed, exhausted and without any patience, but it just heats the rich woman up even more.

"What...did you say to me.."-The woman says, Indignation on her tone, Her Veins popping in anger.

"YOU TRASH, HOW DARE YOU"-She screams in protest, Starting to beat him up relentlessly, messing up his face and chest with Hematomes and blood

Another rich woman comes running, grabbing The woman's hands

"Diana,, Calm down, you can't kill him"-The woman says, She looks down at Peter, but still calm.

"UGH! THIS TRASH DARED TO EXIST IN OUR STREETS"-Diana shouts angrily

Peter Gets up With Blood on His White shirt and Black pants, Mad, Angry, But Diana tries too attack him again, Peter flinches, trying to block the attack, but the attack gets interrupted by the random woman

"Diana, please."-She says, Leaning on Diana's Face, landing an soft kiss, hoping to calm her down, Peter Stares with hatred.

Diana faces blushes and huffs, trying to hide the love she's currently feeling.

"Fine...I'm sorry love"-Diana says, Looking away from her face.

Peter Runs away, Spite, Pure spite on his mind, If he could, He would definitely break the laws to waste his rage.

[FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL, YOU BITCH.]

Peter Eyes start watering from anger, Wondering why life Is so Shitty to him, While he stills feel the heavy pain on his body.

Peter reaches an dark alley, Falling on the ground with pain and exhaustion, He doesn't know what hour is it, but from the sun, He Guesses that it's 13:40 Currently, His eyes starts closing, closing... Drifting away to sleep...

18:57

Peter wakes up, His body Extremely sore and multiple stones glued to his skin, He wipes them off,Slight blood dripping from it, His Mind Still half awake, But he feels the pain, With exhaustion, He Gets up And Searches for An Restaurant to eat anything at all, Because he is Starving,His Chest groaning.

Peter walks for some minutes and finds An Sushi shop, Exactly the food he loves.

He walks in without Any doubt on his mind, Reaching the cashier, Where the Employee Asks

"Hello young boy..."-The employee says, Quickly getting confused and kind of Shocked, Seeing Peter Hurt face, with blood on his shirt

"What the hell happened to you!?,, Did you enter the Luxury Valley?!?!"-The employee asks, His will to help exploding

"Luxury valley??..."-Peter Answers with another question, The Memories of luxury houses kicking in.

"I might have gone there"-Peter says bluntly, Like an stupid child in the employee eye's at least.

"Dammit, These Rich guys Are always Shitty!"-The employee says,Indignation Craved In His Voice While He Starts patching up Peter's face

"I thought all the world was like this.. I was wrong, thanks for showing me a little bit of hope I guess"-Peter says, thanking the Employee.

" How do you not know about the luxury valley?"-The employee asks, confused.

"Sorry, I'm not that into the internet or chit chat"-Peter explains, hoping that he doesn't get red handed with his lie.

" Oh alright,So Basically, The luxury valley is a bunch of Millionaire's With demon on their minds,I don't think I have to explain further, you got the proof in your hands"-The employee says, Trying to make Peter understand.

"ohh,right, got it"-Peter Says, Trying to avoid getting caught on any lie possible.

"Also I'm Shit Hungry right now, I've came here looking for sushi, Not For medical bills.."-Peter Complains, But not Showing any disrespect or anger towards the Employee.

"Don't Worry! This one's on me since you got beaten up!"-The employee answers, finishing the patches and rushing towards the kitchen To make some.

[Thank God, I forgot I don't got any money on me, At least this guy is kind]

....

"Here's your Sushi!"-The employee exclaims, putting an plate of Sushi on the table with an happy smile.

"Thanks man, it's really rare to encounter People like you"-Peter Says, An smile on his face, despite the recent beating and suffering.

"It's nothing don't worry!"-The employee says Before pausing a bit.

"It would be great if you gave me your name too"-The employee says, The wide smile still slapped on him.

19:23

"Oh, my name's Peter, Whats yours?"-Peter Answers and Asks Back, Detecting No Malice on the employee.

"Name's Brian!,And also I forgot to ask, Would you Like any Drink Along with your food? don't worry, it's free too"-Brian Answers, With an genuine Will on his heart

"Nah I'm cool with it"-Peter says, Having multiple memories about his Old best Friend.

[Ch.2 End]

**************************************

"I'm Fine With it Don't Worry"-Peter says, Remembering Himself Of His Old Best Friend.

"Well! Enjoy your Meal Then!"-Brian Says, Walking Back to the cashier.

Peter Starts eating the Plate of Sushi, Satisfaction Filling His Tongue And Stomach At The Same Time.

[Do I go to an Different Universe Every time I die?,, Or Do I return back in time, Going to Another Universe Seems Plausible Since I Didn't Saw That Blonde kid Last Time]

Peter continues eating while Trying To Form An Explanation For All Of This

[I Heard my mom before I Went To another Universe, Is she Involved?,, The People On my Old Universe House Were my Mom, Granny And me, which means That The Kid Should Also be me, Does that even make sense?... ]

....

Peter Finishes Eating, And then Thanks Brian For The Meal

"Thanks For The Food, You're Genuinely An kind Person"-Peter Says, With an sly smile, Despite His confusion.

"Nope It's Nothing!"-Brian Says, Giving an Small Wave Seeing Peter Leave so Quickly.

Peter Goes back To The Streets, Wandering Around While Still Trying To Understand His Change Of Universe

[I would Need to Die To See If I Really Change Universe's, But That's Stupid,What if I Die Forever This Time, I Have No Idea What's Keeping Me Alive, It's Weird And Frustrating, Why Can't I Get The Answer To Everything???]

Peter Continues thinking, Rage And Frustration Dripping On His mind While He Walks Before He Remembers One thing

[Hold up, I Forgot To Ask If Walking in People Houses Is an War Crime Or Something, Because Why Would That Family Be So Hostile? Are They Insane Or something?]

[I Should Go back To Brian To Ask Him That]

Peter Turns Around Quickly Enough To Catch A Glimpse Of Someone Quickly Hidding in an corner When He turned.

[shit.]

"Y-Yo! I Saw You!"-Peter Says, Stuttering Out Of Despair, Sweat Dripping on his Forehead.

Silence, The Person Following Doesn't Answer.

[I don't want to die, Let Me Live Please.]

"Hey man, My Life Is Pretty Shitty You Know! Don't Do Me Like That!"-Peter Exclaims, Trying To Reason With The Stalker.

"And Who The Hell Are You!?"-The Stalker Says, Already With Rage On His voice.

"I'm Peter Griem!, I Am a 13 Year Old Student!"-Peter Says, Trying To Calm Everything Down.

"Sure Pal! Why The Fuck Were You Knocking On My Gate And Talking To My Mother Like You Saw Death?! You Are One Of The Power's Aren't You!!"-The Stalker Says, Every Word Heating Himself Up Even More.

"Hold on! Are you The kid With Blonde hair? And Also, What the hell Is The 'Power's'???"-Peter Says, Confusion Kicking in.

"Don't Act Stupid!Everyone Know Who The Power's Are! And How Do You Know Who I Am?!, Also,I'm The Same Age As You!"-He Answers, Leaving The Corner And Getting Face To Face With Peter, Holding An Sharp Purple Blade On His hand.

"It's because I got To Get A Glimpse of you In The Gate Man, Nothing Else!"-Peter Answers, Getting Scared Of The Blade On The Teen Hands.

Futile, All Futile, The Teen Ignores Peter Attempt To Calm Him Down, Stabbing Peter In The Liver

"HHH!!"-Peter Groans Feeling The Pain Exploding on His body, While He bleeds Once More.

The Teen Runs Away, With Blood On The Edge of His blade, Leaving Peter To Bleed To Death.

Everything Blurs, Darkness Filling in The Corner Of His Eyes,Thoughts Being Focused On Nothing But Despair.

"It's Not Your time yet."-???, Familiar.

Peter Wakes up In An Hospital bed, Having Multiple tubes On his arm's and Chest, He slowly opens his eyes Turning His Head Sideways, Slowly, His Vision Becoming Clearer, Phrases Now Are Actually Hearable.

"Doctor! Doctor! The Kid Woke up!!"-Brian Shouts, Doctors Rushing in To Examine Peter's Body.

They flash lights at his eyes, seeing if He reacts, and he does,They quickly Take some blood out of him for exams

"Hey Kiddo,You good?"-One Of the Doctor Asks, Trying To check If everything Is Fine With him.

Peter Stares, Confused, But realization Slowly Kicking In.

" I think... I am"-Peter Answers, Remembering About The pain He felt, And the voice He heard Before Blacking out.

"You took a Long Time To wake up Buddy, That Is dangerous you know?"-The doctor Says, Trying To Explain The current Situation In An Calm Way.

"Right...Can You Give Me An Time Alone For Some Seconds?"-Peter Say's, Trying To Calm Himself Down To Think For Some Seconds.

"Alright, If Anything, Call Us"-The Doctor Agree, Other Doctors Leaving The room Quickly, Waiting Patiently For Their Call.

[I got stabbed... By the teen, I remember it, Can't I Get Him To Jail?...]

An Woman Walks in, Wearing an Blue Dress With Eyeliner, Her brown Hair Reflecting The Sunlight.

"Good Morning Boy, You were really Injured, should Thank Your Friend Brian For Saving your Life!"-She says, With An Probably fake smile On Her Beautiful Face.

"Hey.. I remember The Person Who stabbed me,Just Not Their Name, It's an Blonde Teen wearing a-" Peter Says Before Getting Interrupted.

Peter isn't given Time to think Before She tries to inject An syringe on his neck, Peter quickly Reacts, Grabbing the syringe and kicking her face, He quickly takes out the tube And tries To run Away Before collapsing to the ground, He looks down on his chest before realizing that he got an hole on it, blood spraying everywhere, his cut liver falling on the ground, His Body Agonizes,Struggled Screams coming out,He tries To Call For Help Before Seeing The Teen kid One Last Time Before Dying Entirely.

An loud screech fills his Head To Feet, His heart Beating Heavily

19:23

Peter Encounters Himself Face To Face With Brian Once More.

"It's nothing don't worry!"-Brian says Before pausing a bit.

"It would be great if you gave me your name too"-Brian says, The wide smile still slapped on him, But Slowly Faltering Seeing Peter Traumatized eyes.

Peter Stares, Phantom Pain Filling His chest Like hell, His eyes aiming To the ceiling everytime, Peter Falls To the ground Vomiting From Despair.

"Ey Kid! Are you Okay?! What happened?"-Brian Says, Also Getting Desperate To Help Peter.

Peter Slowly recomposes Himself, The trauma still glued on his chest.

"I-I'm Fine"-Peter says, His voice shaky and Sick.

"You're definitely Not ok, I will Drag You To The Hospital Alright?!"-Brian Says, Hoping To Calm Peter Down With His Words, Or At Least Make Him Better Mentally.

Peter eyes flashes Hearing The Word Hospital, Remembering the Death Trap He Fell in.

"Nah Nah, I'm Fine. I have An question tho"-Peter Says, Trying To Calm Brian Down.

"Right,What is it?"-Brian Says,His tone Filled with light despair.

"What is The Power's?"-Peter Asks, His Question Genuine And Sincere, Hoping for an honest answer.

"How do you not Know About Them, Everyone Does!"-Brian Says, Indignation And confusion Mixed On His voice, But He quickly Realizes That Peter Actually Has No Idea about The Power's.

"Damn Kid,What do Your Parents even Teach you?"-Brian Questions, But Doesn't Bother To Explain It Anyways.

"Alright, so basically, The Power's Are A Bunch Of Evil Persons That Seek Immortality, Some Of them Got It, But they have Weakness To Die, Some Of Them sold Their soul in exchange for Power, Every Person They kill, The Soul Of the victim Gets Locked in The person they exchanged their soul with, The Famous Person That Exchanges soul and has The Book That Makes The Soul's cry Is Also Known As The Dread Sorcerer,She's a tall woman with A black dress and soul-like skin, Her Eyes Bleed Black, At least,Thats what I Heard By The rumors, That Woman Use The Soul She Gets To Use Magic, Got it?"-Brian Asks, With a honest stare.

"You Talk Too Much Sometimes You know?"-Peter Mocks.

"But yeah, I got it"-Peter answers honestly, With an Smile On his face Before Remembering The Gate.

"Also I have another question, Is it like, an war crime to walk in people home, or knock on it?"-Peter asks, Knowing The Question Might Be Utterly ridiculous.

"Sometimes home owner's can kill an person if they suspect That They're One Of The Powers, Example,If The Invader Acts insane or something, Your Act A moment Ago could make you an heavy suspect,Since The Power's Tend To Be Insane Before doing Anything And Like,'Weirdos' as some Say,But you didn't do anything to me, so I trust you"-Brian Answers His word clear and fresh.

"Seems fair I think"-Peter Nods, Understanding The cause Of His Previous Death, But Kind Of Confused By The Weird Law Of This Universe.

[I Didn't Seem To Go To Another Universe Like I Thought, I'm In The Same Universe Apparently.. And also, I didn't return to the gate, which means my checkpoint Changed.]

[And That Talk About Soul's, I still suspect that my mother might be involved with this power, but I don't got any proof yet, Not solid at least.]

"Also, Are you Ok Right Now?, I'm still Worried I Have To Take You To The Hospital Or something"-Brian Asks, Worry On His Voice Like The Words He Spoke.

"Yeah Yeah I'm Fine, And Not-So Surprisingly, I've got another Question"-Peter say's, Thinking He might Actually Get Thrown Out For Asking About Possible Secret Things.

"Look who said I talk a lot, But What ever, Give me the question and I will answer it"-Brian says, Laughing a little, With the honest smile on his face

"Is there any way like, To know If an person is from the power's Other Than Mental instability?"-Peter Asks, Hoping He doesn't get his ass beat.

"Yeah, There's Also Power's That Betrayed The Dread Sorcerer, That use their power for good, or to get an job like this, To Reveal Someone Identity"-Brian Answers,Trying His maximum To not forget anything.

"Right..So, What methods do they use to Even Discover, Is It Like, Asking The Dread Bitch About the catalogue or something?"-Peter asks Still confused.

"The Good Power's,Use their Palm To See if an person is soulless or If They Have More than One Soul, determined by that, It's Easy The Answer"-Brian Says,The smile Still on his face, While The light Reflects His Green eyes.

[That might have been why I got killed, But I'm not soulless I think, is it because I have more souls... Thinking Now, I Always Hear Either My Grandma Or Mother Voice When I Die, I Might Have Their soul, If that's it, The Theory About My Mother being involved makes actual sense other than being an guess]

"Alright, Sorry For The Questioning And All But, Can I Stay At Your House, I'm Basically Homeless"-Peter says bluntly, Covering his mouth in embarrassment.

"Uhh, Alright I think, If you're really homeless.."-Brian Answers And Checks his Phone,Preparing to close the Sushi Shop.

"Is it already That late?"-Peter Asks, Confused, Since He lost Count Of Time By Now.

"Yep, It's 20:01 Currently, Gotta Close at 8"-Brian Answers.

Peter nods, Getting up, Still Confused If He will Clean the Mess He did Or If He Won't.

[Ch.3 End]
