A Reincarnated Man's Revenge
1
The forest had gone quiet.
The beasts were gone. Their roars, their claws, their hunger all of it had vanished like a nightmare that left only pain behind.
Ilan Devaux lay on the cold ground, blood soaking into the earth beneath him.
His breaths were shallow..Each one harder than the last.
His fingers twitched..He really didn’t have the strength to move.
But he waited Because he believed someone would come.
Finally Footsteps echoed, Fast and Urgent.
A small, broken smile formed on Ilan’s lips.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
**whispers** Matheus..
For a moment Hope returned but it soon shattered when the footsteps rushed past him
He turned his head just enough to see.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
**Eyes widen**
Matheus Levant, The Man IIan loved..The Man he sacrificed everything for..The Man whom IIan endured endless hell...just walked past him and knelt beside someone else.
The man..who stole everything from IIan..The position of Empress, His Friends..and most importantly..His Husband..The Man..he loved..
Maybe..what Rico said a few days back was true..Matheus only married IIan so he would get the position of Emperor.. Nothing more.. Nothing Less.
To Mathues...IIan..was just a pawn.. for him to achieve his goal..
MATHEUS LEVANT : A / EMPEROR OF MRANIS
Rico! Are you alright?!
Rico Vondell lay there, clothes barely torn, a few shallow scratches on his arm.
RICO VONDELL : DO / EMPRESS OF MRANIS
**weakly** I-I’m fine…
MATHEUS LEVANT : A / EMPEROR OF MRANIS
**Voice tight with worry** No, Someone call the royal healer! Now!
SERVANT
Your Majesty, it’s only minor--
MATHEUS LEVANT : A / EMPEROR OF MRANIS
You Dare to disrespect your Emperor!?
Soon Urgent footsteps filled the place as Orders being carried out.
Ilan watched Quietly..He was forgotten..or maybe just ignored..
His hand, which had weakly lifted earlier fell back to the ground.
This was his life wasn't it.. Always Last.. never first.. Always an Choice..Never the only option
A tear slipped down his eyes as it Disappeared into blood.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
**curls up his fingers** No...
His voice trembled But this time Not with sadness or weakness just something darker.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
…I don’t want… another life like this…
The wind stilled as his nails dug weakly into the dirt.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
I won't beg anymore..Not Endure anything..
IIan looked at the Sky which was turning Grey
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
**Eyes harden** If there are gods…give me another chance to take everything back.
A faint, broken smile appeared.
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
I'll make every single bastard here regret everything they have done to me
IIAN DEVAUX : O /QUEEN CONSORT OF MRANIS
And with that Ilan Devaux closed his eyes.

It was suffocating.. Really Suffocating like being trapped in heavy boulders
Ilan Devaux groaned softly as he stirred
His head throbbed, his throat felt dry, and every movement carried a dull ache..
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Haaa... Seriously was Afterlife supposed to feel like this..Painful like you were being pierced)
Finally IIan forced his eyes open, the first thing he saw was iron.
Cold, rusted, unwelcoming bars that boxed him in from every side.
Confusion settled in before panic could. He tried to move, but his limbs didn’t respond the way he expected.
They were too light, too small. His breathing hitched as he slowly looked down at himself.
A frail body that could not belong to anyone older than Six
IIAN'S NEW BODY
You’ve got to be kidding me.
His gaze shifted as he looked around through the Bars of his Cage
Cages everywhere, Rows and rows of cages consisting of
Children,Adults Even beasts all locked up.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Haa..talk about shitty luck…
His fingers moved to his neck, Of course there would be Collar
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**scoff** Out of every possible place in this whole wide world, I woke up in a Cage
He tugged at it, trying to pry it loose
His cage rattled violently as something slammed into it.
A man stood nearby, leaning against another cage, arms crossed.
RANDOM GOON
Quit trying to pull that off **yawn** It’ll only make the bruise worse.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Haa..This asshole is annoying..)
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Who are you? Where am I?
RANDOM GOON
**Rolls his eyes** Quite an annoying kid aren't you.
RANDOM GOON
This is a Slave auction.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Slave auction..
RANDOM GOON
**crooked grin** You’ll be sold soon..So, be a Good Boy and rest
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**mutters** Asshole.
The man chuckled and walked off.
Ilan looked at himself, The Cage..The Collar and only one word came out of him.
He dragged himself toward the bars, gripping them tightly as he looked around again trying to figure out a plan
IIAN'S NEW BODY
What should i do..
That’s when he noticed A small figure.
A cute little boy who was Curled up in the corner of his cage.
Shinny Black hair with those Grey eyes and Shaking like a Little Fawn..Yep definitely a Noble's kid
The boy flinched and Looked around nervously.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**Gestures** Yeah, you. Come here.
The boy hesitated for a moment before crawling toward the edge of his cage with Tears still clinging to his lashes.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
What year is it?
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(I am already five years into the future..)
His grip on the bars tightened.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(it's okay... I'll find some way..)
He exhaled slowly , Then looked back at the boy.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
What’s your name?
IIAN'S NEW BODY
You're the son of a Duke?
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**nod**
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**Sighs** (Seriously!? The Son of My Father's Enemy!?)
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR

IIAN'S NEW BODY

SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR

IIAN'S NEW BODY
**shakes his head..** No..What about you?
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**Nods** I was in the Market with Bubba!
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**Eyes sparkling** My big brother! He's Superr cool you know!! He's Superr Powerful
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
We were going through the market but I got..lost..
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
Some man said he’d take me to Bubba…but i woke up here!
IIAN'S NEW BODY
And you're saying that cheerfully?
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**nods and pats his chest** I am scared! My Papa will definitely come and save me
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(must be nice.. being so Gullible)
Ilan sighed, leaning back slightly.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Kids these days..)
A faint, almost nostalgic smile appeared on his face.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(He definitely reminds me of that shitass)
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
You look really pretty when you smile.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**Blink** Eh?
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
You're pretty when you smile
Serik was staring at him, eyes sparkling.
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
You should smile more.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**rolls his eyes** sure sure.I'll smile when I’m not stuck in a fucking cage.
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR

IIAN'S NEW BODY
**lets out a dry laugh** Yeah sure..
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**Pout** Don't Say about my papa like that!
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
IIAN'S NEW BODY
What? I was agreeing with you?
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(This kid sure is troublesome)
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
No you weren't!
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Yes I was!
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
Fine! I believe you
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**sigh** (I can't believe such a Naive kid born to those Bastrds)

After quite a while chains started rattling and Cages opened.
One by one all of the people in the cages were being taken.
Ilan Devaux sat behind the iron bars, silent as he watched the Numbers on the cages
Each cage had a number etched into it.
Obviously Low numbers went first.
? ? ?
Lot 21-- healthy, trained laborer!
? ? ?
Lot 34 -- beastkin, rare specimen!
? ? ?
Lot 48 -- young omega, excellent condition!
The voice from upstairs echoed as cheers rose
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Shameless brutes)
Ilan’s gaze lifted slightly landing on a rusted metal plate hanging on the inside of his cage.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(69.. meaning it's the other way around..96)
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**mutters** it can be Last batch..
He was Valuable or rare either way, he was not disposable.
IIan eyes shifted onto Serik's Cage..
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(He’ll be taken before me)
Ilan leaned back slightly, exhaling.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Not my problem..Someone would save him..Probably?)
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(No need to get involved.)
IIan fingers slowly tightened
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(But.. that's what I thought in the past..)
? ? ?
Brother...**reaches out his hand** s-save me..
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(Mourning about the past is a waste of time..)
IIAN'S NEW BODY
..Annoying
His gaze drifted landing on the slightly bent steel plate he had loosened earlier.
If he was going to act ..He’d do it properly.
RANDOM GOON
Lot 72..That one over there **points at Serik's cage**
The other one nods and goes to Serik's cage and unlocks it
RANDOM GOON
Alright kid..Time to get useful. **grabs Serik's Wrist**
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
NO! Let me go! I don’t want to!
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
The boy cried, struggling as a guard dragged him out.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
(come on last chance..walk away or..)
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
NERO!! **crying**
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**Sigh** Tch..Fine.. Only this once..
In one swift motion He grabbed the steel plate and slammed it into the collar around his neck even though it electrocuted him
Sparks flickered as the metal dented.
RANDOM GOON
WHAT THE?! STOP HIM!
Some Guys rushed forward but Ilan was faster.
He dragged the sharp edge across his wrist
IIAN'S NEW BODY
If you take another step, I go deeper.
RANDOM GOON
Kid!! Are you insane?!
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**tilts his head** Wrong question Mr...
IIAN'S NEW BODY
You should be thinking about what will happen to you if I arrive damaged?
RANDOM GOON
**scoff** Don't act all mighty kid, You’re just another lot.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Lot 96..I am pretty sure it holds high numbers, hold significance with high bidders
IIAN'S NEW BODY
You didn’t even notice that, did you?
Unease flickered across their faces.
Ilan raised the metal slightly closer to his vein.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Try explaining to your master why his most expensive piece is bleeding out.
RANDOM GOON
What do you want?.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**points at Serik** Him
Serik struggled in the guard’s grip, tears streaming down his face.
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Take me wherever you are planning to take him...or I bleed.
RANDOM GOON
You're making a lot of Trouble kid!
The Goons exchanged looks thinking through IIan's words
Serik was shoved forward.
Ilan’s cage creaked open.
Slowly he stepped out still holding the metal plate
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
He walked forward and grabbed Serik’s trembling hand with his(IIan) free hand
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
Nero..**whispers**
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Stop crying.. it's annoying
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
**smiles**
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**stares** are you dumb?
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Why are you smiling? You are about to be sold off to some..God knows how cruel asshole
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
It's okay! As long as you are there, i know I will be safe
IIAN'S NEW BODY
Seriously kid.. you just met me like a while ago.
SERIK ASCHAR : SON OF DUKE ASCHAR
But I feel like I've known you for years!
IIAN'S NEW BODY
**sigh** Troublesome.
Together They were dragged toward the auction stage
