Tyler Wyatt. He was a man of the underworld, a citizen of a place where humanity is of no use. He lived in a place where danger surrounds him constantly, a place where peace was never known. He once thought that it was the worst possible place to be in, but 5 years was enough to prove him wrong.
Apocalypse began when everyone was oblivious of their surroundings, during that time, most of the people awake and managed to witness how their world turned darker was mostly from the darkest side of the world: The Underworld.
Portals emerged and it kept spouting monsters after monsters. There was no rest, no pause, no cool down. It was a mess and a disaster. Humans and Animals alike were being eaten left and right. It was a game of life and death where you could not rest or you will rest for eternity.
For Tyler, this was no nightmare. It was a miracle, a chance he saw where he could end his misery and be free of guilt. He had long desired to end his life, but his hands was already soaked in blood, he wouldn't dare to add more. Hence he waited, he waited for the day of his end, and when he thought 4 decades was the max, it became 4 years. He was thankful nonetheless. Tyler was never a picky person, he suffered from every suffering and learned to cope with the aftermath, persevere, be satisfied with what he had, and adapt to what he is in. He experienced eating bug to survive hunger (as a punishment), he survived sleeping inside a dead mammal so live off the cold, he survive staying awake for days to make sure he finish his job right.
Before death fully consumed him, he only hoped that 'that kid' was living a better life than his.
He may not have taken suicide, he may have been killed, but that never meant he wanted to live. Red hair, reddish brown eyes, a pale complexion, a face of beauty, a skin of a newborn, a voice of a siren, a wealth of a noble, and a brain of a genius. This body is blessed beyond envy, there's no flaw, and if there is, it must be the soul that occupied the body.
Icarus "Cari" Thames Henituse. The twin brother of Cale Thames Henituse. The second eldest son of the Count. The second young master. and the "Weak and Talentless" child of Deruth.
This body possesses 5 things: his appearance, his voice, his family, his wealth, and his brain. But that was it. This body's plate is too weak to handle mana, and this body is too weak to hold a sword. The only thing he have is his brain.
Currently, the ceiling made of gold and paint is the most interesting thing he could find in this room. Though there's another red head beside him, but he has been too quiet for him to disturb. Icarus sighed as he slowly fell asleep.
Cale wasn't surprised that much, he only felt thankful.......and exhausted. But other from that, he felt relief and sadness. Everyone is still alive. His twin Icarus was alive, though he didn't manage to save their mother, at least in this lifetime, his twin stayed with him and survived the accident.
Cale turned his head, and found his baby brother asleep beside him. He must've gone bored and fell asleep unknowingly. Cale wondered how much this change would affect their future.
In his first lifetime, his mother died with his little brother from a carriage incident, it broke Cale. Not only did his mother die, he also lost his other half. But he knew he couldn't cry, his Father is also suffering and could barely go on with his daily life. He stood strong and became the shoulder his father could lean. Only the two of them were left now, one of them must be strong.
Cale sighed as thoughts run rampant in his head. He needs to put survival on his priority list, and he must bring his brother along with him. This is his 3rd lifetime, and something is telling him that this will be his last chance, hence he must spend his time right.
His mother just died, it's only been a month, and Countess Violan and Basen will arrive two years later, he must grow a bit strong before then. Thankfully, he used to wield a sword in both his first and second lifetime, he could just train his body again and learn more knowledge regarding swordsmanship.......and magic. He found out too late that he wasn't unable to use mana, it was that the mana within him has been sealed. In which he guessed to be the work of his mother. He still has yet to come up with a reason but that's fine, no one could change the past - aside from him as he is currently living in a past life.
After training his body, and re-learning swordsmanship, he might start making connections and start training his soldiers.
"What are you thinking so deeply, hyung?"
"Ah, you're awake" Cale laughed nervously at the peering eyes of his twin. Oh how he missed those bright brownish red eyes.
