Pseudo-Villaines

Dream and Awakening (1)

In her sleep, Jean had a dream.

He saw various flashbacks of his life. Yeah, his own life. Right then, he felt a huge headache. It was as if all those flashbacks were forced to get inside him.

The flashback is very strange and feels very long. He saw himself, even with a different physical appearance and race, his essence and soul remained the same. That is itself.

He saw everything he did. When it becomes a human, a demon, a vampire, a monster, an archangel, a god, etc. Even Jean couldn't count it.

He saw himself as a hero for millennia. Gaining blessings from entities called gods and saving and giving birth to many civilizations. Become ministers, commanders, kings, emperors, and rulers. He made countless various martial techniques, magic, technology, and various other inventions. Jean lived for hundreds of millions of years.

Jean also saw a flashback when he became the demon king. Destroying and burying various civilizations, fighting against worlds and entities that seemed like gods and others all by themselves, slaughtering millions or even billions of souls indiscriminately just because he was bored. At that moment, even gods were no match for him at all.

He becomes a demon king and explores the universe, defying all applicable laws, breaking all balances, and destroying anything he likes.

Countless number of universes he had conquered and destroyed. Countless gods, angels, humans, and demons he had annihilated without leaving anything behind.

Just like when he became a hero, as a demon lord, he created various fighting techniques and technologies that supported his abilities. All those techniques and technologies entered his brain, assimilated with his soul, and united with him.

Again, just like when Jean became a hero, he eventually died after hundreds of millions of years of life. Not because he was weak, not because he was killed. Jean as the demon king died by killing himself. Caused some universes to explode along with their contents.

The flashbacks kept passing through Jean's head. Every time all the memories were assimilated, Jean's entire body felt very, very, very sick. He could not even describe how big the pain was. A million deaths was even better than the pain he now felt.

Not just power. Knowledge, wisdom, science, and all the information even the smallest entered him. It takes a lot of time to come together but Jean easily gets through it all.

Jean has no idea when she will awaken from this dream or when this flashback will be completed. All he had to do now was absorb and assimilate all the information and power he had gained through his flashback into his soul.

While Jean is struggling, something big is going on out there, simultaneously. Not only in the Akkadian continent, but also in other continents. Not only where humans and demi-humans live, but also where demons and angels and gods live.

All the temples and cathedrals built to worship any god and goddess, collapsed. The earth shook and the stars that lit up the sky fell down.

All the palaces belonging to the kings and emperors collapsed. The thrones belonging to the gods and demon emperors shook. The world screamed as it felt an omnipresent presence. No one knows why this is all happening!

Meanwhile, at the home of Alija's grandmother and Henryk's grandfather, Elyse and Elsie, who were initially asleep, are now awake. Sweat was pouring down on their skin. Alija's grandmother and Henry's grandfather who felt something unusual quickly approached the two who were crying.

"Cup, cup dear. Relax, grandma is there. Relax sweetheart..."

Alija's grandmother carried the two while calming. Grandpa Hendryk checked on Jean and she looked good. He became a little relieved.

But different from what Grandpa Hendryk thought, his condition was much worse than he had imagined.
