Is this really a Game?!

"Well it wouldn't be interesting if I wasn't, not to mention that you're still not ready to know everything, just be patient for a little bit more Reign, everything will be soon answered." The dark copy said with a calm expression as he looked at Reign.

"As for this place, well, call it your psyche, a manifestation of what your mind is like, it can be calm like the ocean right now, but in a moment-" The copy snapped his finger as he and Reign suddenly started rising higher in the air.

The ocean suddenly turned violent, waves appeared and the tranquility was broken.

"It gets turbulent, same goes for that field, for this-" The copy waved his hand again and he and Reign found themselves in a desert.

"This as well." Another wave and they were right in front of an active volcano.

"It's a weird thing, the psyche, emotions and all of that, almost impossible to completely tame it and keep it under control."

"Alright, I follow you, but what does that have to do with me, and you?"

"Because this is you Reign, remember what happened when that boy died, remember how you changed?" The copy asked Reign as the latter stared coldly at him.

"Hey, don't give me that look, I had nothing to do with that, that was you, you were the one who let your anger consume you and allowed it to control you, you were luckily still early in the development and the inheritance is still for some reason not completely showing itself to you, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't have been only the monster that perished that day."

Reign's eyes opened wide at the copy's words, he wanted to refute him, to say it wasn't so, but deep inside he knew it was true. He told the others that he didn't know what happened, but he did, he felt anger, and power, an incredible amount of power that awoke inside of him.

He allowed it to escape from his body and control him. Reign was merely an observer at that point, he was able to see everything that was happening, but had no control over his actions. He didn't care, however, as he was able to see how the orc commander was getting killed.

He felt angry, and yet elated by the fact that he was able to destroy the enemy with such ease, he marveled at his power as the orc died, his head turned to mush.

It was only when Shadow appeared that Reign woke from his stupor. He could feel it, the anger was still there, and it was targeting Shadow and the others. He quickly tried to take back control over his body, but it wasn't easy.

The anger had consumed him for a brief period of time, and getting rid of it was not easy at all. He struggled fiercely for what seemed like hours while only seconds passed outside. It was only when he felt a gentle push from behind that he was able to get out and take over his body.

"Was that you?" Reign asked for the copy as the latter looked at him with a smile on his face.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Reign, you s-" Before the copy could continue talking, Reign's figure started flickering.

"Ah, it seems time is up, we'll talk next time." The copy said as Reign disappeared from the spot.

"Ah, this job really does get tiring sometimes." The copy said as he yawned.

"Hmmm, he didn't wake up."

"This, another part of the inheritance, which, wait, this is?" The copy looked into the distance with a shocked expression on his face.

"Why would he see that right now, isn't it a bit too much?" The copy said with slight worry as he looked at the scene that Reign was seeing right now.

"No, nooo!" An angry roar reverberated through a broken city as a man stood straight and stared at the sky with hatred in his eyes.

Reign was currently looking through his eyes, he could feel the anger that the man felt, it was so powerful that he was worried it might consume him at any moment.

"Give her back!" The man yelled as the building he stood upon shattered from his roar. The city itself, once a splendid capital that spanned for miles and miles shook violently.

Buildings collapsed, the earth shook and thunder roared as the man's anger affected the surroundings.

No, it wasn't just the city, Reign was able to see a mountain that was far away. The snow that had piled up on it started falling down as it shook violently as well. It was as if the whole planet was shaking simply for the anger the man was feeling.

The surrounding mana was in disarray, in complete chaos as the man started sucking it in.

Reign was suddenly able to feel that something had appeared on his back, he didn't know what it was, but he had a feeling that it was wings that appeared on the man's back.

Light and darkness collided as the man suddenly started flying, the sound barrier was broken immediately as the man appeared above the planet in a moment. He was chasing after a figure that was enveloped in a green hue.

Reign wasn't able to see the figure, hell, even the man who was many times more powerful than him wasn't able to see it thanks to the green hue.

The man neared the figure quickly, but a crack in the void suddenly appeared and drew the figure in. He was a mere arms reach before the figure had slipped away in the crack that suddenly closed.

The man suddenly stopped, his anger gone for a moment as coldness could be felt inside of him.

"I'll find you, I swear that I will, if I have to, I'll kill gods and slaughter demons, I'll overturn and destroy this entire universe if I have to, but I will find you, no matter how long it takes." The man spoke with such a cold voice that Reign felt chills from it.

He knew that the man wasn't simply saying this out of anger, he meant every single word he said. The conviction in his voice made Reign know that if he had to, the man was willing to go become the enemy of the universe itself in order to retrieve the person that was taken.

The man suddenly turned around and glanced at the planet he had just come from.

Reign's eyes suddenly widened as he felt an incredible familiarity with the planet, but before he could get a good look, the scene in front of him changed.

Hundreds, if not thousands of enemies stood in front of the man as they stared at him cautiously.

Dragons that were as big as planets, serpents that were larger than the one that was currently coiling itself around the planet, giants whose heads were the size of the moon, and enemies from all kinds of races were currently standing in the void and staring at the man.

Next to them were spaceships. They looked like they came straight out of a sci-fi movie, even the smallest one was hundreds of miles long while the biggest amongst them was as big as a planet.

All of that was standing in front of the man, it was obvious to Reign what was happening.

He did what he said he would do, he went against the whole universe.

Suddenly the scene turned black and Reign slowly opened his eyes. He sat up on a bed and looked in front of him.

Shadow and the others were sitting down on some sofas and talking to each other. Reign observed around him, the room he was in was quite spacious and warm. He could feel that his body and mana were being nourished by some sort of array that was installed in it.

"Reign!" Shadow said as he stood up and smiled.

"Took you long enough, we woke up a while ago, I guess the battle really took a toll on you huh?" Wolf said as he looked at Reign.

"What happened?"

"Well, we got a break, Drayce came after the last round and told us that we were going to be transferred to a room inside the arena to rest for 10 hours before the next round started, it seems that those that fight against the Death Riders and beings of similar strength get to rest a lot longer before the next round," Beast said as he stood up and came near Reign.

"How are you, your wounds should have healed completely about 2 hours ago, but you continued sleeping, we thought that we might have to fight in the next round without you."

"I'm good, how long was I sleeping for?"

"Almost 10 hours," Laura said.

"That explains why I feel so refreshed, heh." Reign chuckled as the others all smiled at him.

The angels were sitting nearby and were all looking at Reign with curious expressions. The power he had shown during the last battle was miles above what they thought was possible for a player to possess at this time, to see him injured and his mana depleted was a shock to them.

"Well, get ready, the round will start soon." Mia suddenly said. Reign simply glanced at her and nodded as he got up. Only about 10 minutes passed before a door suddenly opened, they were being called to the arena.

As they all passed through the door, one thought was still stuck in Reign's head.

'That planet, was that really Earth?'
