Eventually after several losses on their ship they finally found land. After thousands of years of development and tranquility they built several nations with better technology than the previous Era. The current year is 2065. 200 years after the first people reached our new lands.

Chapter 1

“DAMIAN SMITH! IF YOU DONT WAKE UP ILL DRAG YOU BY YOUR EAR” usually when I’m waking up like this it usually means something big happened. “Ok, ok. I’m up, I'm up” as my mother breaks into my room and I'm only wearing my trousers. All I could do was give her a blank tired face since it was only 5 in the morning. “Damian. Do you know what day it is?” as she stared down into my soul “N-No? However, I bet your going to tell me” I spoke softly to her while changing into my clothes. “It’s your sisters' birthday. You bone head” uhm. Yea I didn’t expect this. “I’m assuming you want me to go out and buy her something?” There goes my paycheck. “Yes, while you're out why don’t you get a nice cake. Also, can you ask Liz if she can get us more of that delicious bread?” I guess I won’t be back till this afternoon all I could do was let out a sigh and nod. Once I finished up my breakfast and said happy birthday to my little sis and headed out. Today felt exceptionally swell. The way the sun hit my face and that fresh smell of spring. “Hey, Liz my mother wants to get more of that sweet bread or something.” When I asked her, I believe she was sick or something because she turned redder than any juicy tomato, I laid my eyes on. “H-Hold on Damian, I’ll be right back with-it o-ok?” I just nodded, I didn’t wake up completely and the sun wasn’t helping. As she was cooking the bread, all I did was just stare at it. It looked so good, I started to drool a little. “H-here you go D-Damian" I smiled and waved, “See you next time Liz” Once I got the bread, I decided to head into the city. We lived pretty far from the city however, for me it was nothing; I leaned just slightly and propelled myself into the direction, however, today was different. Suddenly, I heard clashing between swords, so I had to stop. “Did I interrupt something?”. Everyone there Just gave me a blank face. “w-who...” The injured black-haired kid said with a confused face. “Well, well, another little brat to kill”, said the two that were seemingly against the bloodied kid. I looked around to see that there were 5 injured kids and 2 injured adults. “If you want a fight than come at me” seeing this filled my blood with rage. “Fine one more punk shouldn’t be that hard to hand-” Within an instant I let my rage out for a second and in a blink of an eye, the forest was wiped out from me punching the very air. There was nothing left except for the ones already injured on the ground. I never had a normal life it was always work and business. Looking back, I don’t think I actually had a chance to be a kid. Enough of that though, I needed to get these people back to health. I started to pick up everyone wounded and sprinted back home, however once I got there, bandits already raided my hometown. “No... no...no!” I began to shout if anyone was still possibly still alive and well. “H-h-help...” It was a faint voice, but regardless I started to look around and found Liz barley alive with bruises and cuts all over her. I began to take everyone to a safer place and healed them. “D-Damian?” With surprise it only took her about an hour or two to heal. “Hey...how are you holding up? Any pain?” I looked towards her with a worried face. I gave her some of my soup and let her eat with only rage in my mind and body, I had to hold it all back. A few days went by, and the others still won’t wake up, however me and Liz started to rebuild our small little town. I built a small place for the wounded kids and even tod-. “W-where am I?” Well, this is unexpected they woke up today. “You're inside our small little town” Even though I told them they seemed to not trust me, so I just gave them their food and gave a gentle smile resurging them that there safe. Throughout the day, they all woke up slowly, but the last one to wake up was the kid that those thugs were holding. “Who... What...are you? This is concerning the adult *He seemed to know what I am inside, however this kid might just actually have a true understanding on what I am and see through my disguise. “My name is Damian Smith, I helped you while you were getting beaten up.” He started to look around and eventually grabbed his sword for his own defense. “You... you are the King of Monsters” All I did was smile and let a very small amount of my power to show. It was so intense that it sent them flying into the walls almost crushing them. “If you intend to fight me then you need to understand that every fight is life or death.” I told the boy. ""You think I don’t already know that?” He slowly responded. I proceed to put my power back inside and let them get back up. “Let’s step outside... for a little practice.” “I didn’t even agree to that” the boy said back.  At first, they were a little hesitant. I mean hey who would blame them for all I know, they just witnessed something among the gods. I could have just destroyed their beliefs or religion. “You need to train, so you won't be caught by those weaklings again” Since they were a little weaker than I hoped, I had them hunt as a “pack” for dinner tonight. While I watch them hunt down strong beasts and animals. This reminded me how I got a lot stronger than I hoped for. The name is Damian Smith as you heard for the 6th time, but I wasn’t born from this world in fact or universe.*
