"So... How are you guys doing?"
While lightly scraping on his plate full of food, Luke asked hesitantly. It's been two days since he returned, and his group is still clinging to him. He then cast an uneasy glance to his companions, who were all staring at him carefully. If looks could kill, he'd already been dead from all the stares he's getting. It's a good thing the kids were playing together in another room or the stares he's getting would be ten times more painful.
Luke simply sighed and attempted to eat a few bites of food, but jumped as he noticed a hand putting more food on his plate. When he turned to see who it was, he noticed Liam putting the food down on his plate. Luke frowned and put his hand on Liam's shoulder to stop him. Liam came to a halt at his touch and turned to face Luke, who was frowning at him.
"That's enough food, Liam. I can't eat all of that."
"But... You are thin."
"..."
Luke blinked for a moment before sighing. He then put down the silverware in his hands and spoke loudly.
"All right, let's stop this. If you have any questions, let me know. Ask all you want."
Spencer asked a question right away as if he'd been waiting.
"How are you still alive?"
Everyone fell silent. Luke took note of their stillness and examined their reactions; their expressions suggest that they still don't believe he's here. After all, he was supposed to be dead, so he isn't surprised at all.
"I have a power that allows me to live ten lives."
After Luke stated that, everyone in the room turned to face him. Selena then asked, confused.
"Ten lives? How? When did you gain that kind of power?"
"I got it with Nash before the wedding. You can ask him."
"Oh my god..."
Selena just sat back on her chair in disbelief while Yulia is trying to calm her down. Julius is the next to speak.
"Did the orange-red glow that surrounded your body when you arrived have anything to do with that power?"
Luke nodded and spoke like what they were talking about is just nothing.
"Yeah, basically the power works like this. Whenever I die, I will gain a new ability when I revive."
Klein then proceeded to speak with care.
"And your new ability now is..?"
"This."
When Luke activated his new power, the atmosphere grew hot and thick almost instantly. Everyone came to a halt and stared at Luke, who was now surrounded by the same orange-red glow as before. Everyone suddenly felt small, they felt vulnerable, they felt like...

They were looked down upon...
BANG!
"Defend his highness!"
When they saw dozens of guards pouring in and surrounding Lance, the group and Luke flinched. Luke was perplexed by this but turned his attention when he heard someone cough.
"Cough!"
"Klein!"
Selena exclaimed, leaping to Klein's aid as he appeared to be suffocating. Lina became aware of this and promptly alerted Luke.
