Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

Along the street of a rainy city in the late 1800s, an old man wearing a standard suit, cape and hat was brisk walking. The man was 5’8”, well-built holding a walking stick.

“Why are there men following me!? I have been walking across this busy square for the last 30minutes and I cannot seem to lose them, are they playing with me! Are they not afraid of the authorities patrolling here?”

 He turned to an alleyway and started to run from the scene as quickly as he could. “I remember there is a shortcut here to the nearest police station, there are about 6 men following me from behind toying with me, I’d hope I get proper help when I arrive, I mean cops would help you if you are in danger right?”

He quickly passed 2 mid-sized gardens, and turned to the last alley and tripped. There he faced a scarred man 6’ tall, and life drained from his face. The man smirked, “Did you have fun along our game of chase? Almost cut it close didn’t we Mr. Nexus?”

Nexus who faced such a situation was filled with rage and trepidation. “What do you want? Why are you doing this to me?”

The man just smirked. “Come boys! Let’s end this chase, we have places to be and were tight on time.”

Nexus thought this was the end, 6 men are closing in behind him and one was just smirking in front of him. His muscles tightened, adrenaline pumping within his veins. A cornered man could fight or despair at the sight of this mess, alas the fighter within won and he turned to face the 6 approaching aggressor and ran. He lifted his cane and rammed it on top of the guys’ head. The men were shocked, they didn’t think that an old man would try to try to take them down before meeting his end.

The lead man frowned, he followed up quickly and kicked Nexus spine, causing the later to fall and let go of his cane, he quickly tried to stabilize himself only for his limbs to be bound by the arms of the men surrounding him.

The man annoyed upon inspecting and found that his man died due to their complacency sighed, “God! The things we do for money.” He leaned down and spoke next to Nexus ears, “Charles sends his regards, too bad you were too stubborn to see the right path.” He then asked one of the men to wrap his arm around his neck and suffocated the life out of their prey.

After a long while Nexus found himself wrapped in a tight watery fit, being flushed out from above, “what is happening here? Didn’t they kill me?”, upon release from the watery surge he let out a loud cry, “Wahhh!”, an old woman wearing a robe surrounded by light constructs floated him and cleansed his body  with light, turned to a silver haired green eyed beautiful woman, “ it’s a healthy boy madam Sandra, what would you name him?”

Sandra filled with happiness secured the approaching floating baby, she cuddled and absorbed the warmth she felt, “his name would be Nexus… Nexus Malfiore”.

A well-built man with silver hair and blue eyes in his early 20s’ coated with blue light briskly walked into the enshrouded dome of green light. “Nadine, is Sandra well?”

Nadine turned and gruffly stated, “You have the gall to ask me this Desmond! You pulled this old woman off her home, teleported and hauled me into Sandra’s room to preside on this wonderful operation, and you’re still questioning the result?”

Desmond bashfully replied, “Well, I had to get the best there was to secure my wife and child, I heard that there was a chance for fatalities during child birth.” He slowly approached his wife and caressed her arms.

Sandra smiled, “would you hold like to hold our child?”, Desmond approached and calmly held him.

A day has passed after he fell asleep, currently he was placed inside a crib, watching the spinning birds and horses floating on top of it, he slowly tried to move his body and clench his fists, “Well this is unexpected, it seems that I have been born again, and in a different world it seems.” A woman slowly approached with a rattle toy, “look honey! He opened his eyes and is looking at me! Who’s the good boy, who is mommy’s little angel! Oh yes it’s you!”. Nexus stared dumbfounded, it was a baffling experience for a man his age, and this is coming from a man who died in an alley a long while ago.

His mother made a worried expression and he promptly smiled, “well for now let’s get familiar with what is happening right now, and see where it goes.”
