Is this really a Game?!

500 Unsettling Vision

Boom!

Slam!

Slash!

Explosion destroyed trees, buildings, and the streets as thousands of people fought brutally against one another.

Monsters, people, demons, and even more races that Reign and the others had never seen before charged into battle and slaughtered their way deeper inside.

The sky was dark, and clouds and lightning fell down on the town as a battle that could seemingly shake the heavens was taking place.

Fire rained down from the sky.

Ice appeared on the streets and buildings, freezing the monsters.

Elves fought valiantly and held the lines.

It was as if doomsday had arrived.

Behind the lines of humans, orcs, and elves was a giant golden tree that had been set on fire.

Reign stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes wide open in disbelief at what was happening before suddenly opening his eyes and waking up.

Reign sat up on the bed, heavily panting as his entire body shook from the dream he just had.

Was it a dream?

Or perhaps another vision, this time one that showed the future to him?

Reign didn't know.

His entire body was covered in a cold sweat, and the window of his room was open as the light breeze from outside was carried in, making the air fresh.

Reign stayed in the same position for about 5 minutes before getting off the bed and stumbling to the bathroom.

His head was spinning, and a sharp whistling noise rang through it as he slowly walked inside the bathroom before entering the shower and turning it on.

Cold water splashed on top of his head, but he didn't react.

The water fell down to his body before he was completely wet. The cold water helped him calm down and gather his thoughts. Slowly, his breathing stopped being erratic as his hands stopped shaking.

Reign took a deep breath, calming himself down before sitting down and leaning against the wall of the shower.

He hadn't seen any visions for the last 10 days. He found it weird as he was almost used to them. Their sudden disappearance alarmed him at first, but his vigilance dropped after a couple more days had passed.

He figured that the visions were simply temporary things that appeared thanks to his mysterious ability. But he didn't know why they would come to him and why they would stop.

It was all a mystery to Reign who seemingly had no way of learning the answer.

Everything he knew about the mystery that surrounded his race status was that Eldar was seemingly one of the people that knew the truth, as was the High God Raegan who had told Reign not to listen to the voice inside his head, to the dark copy of himself.

But Reign was perplexed, the god knew of his powers, of the being inside of him, and yet he simply disappeared, never to be seen again. Reign wondered what happened to the man, only to later realize that he was a god and he had probably been alive for thousands of years, and he would continue living for a long, long time.

Raegan probably didn't really have that much interest in Reign after seeing his mark, hell, most gods probably had very little interest towards mortals that were not amongst their chosen.

But still, the vision continued haunting Reign.

It was Doncaster that he saw in the vision, invaded by a great enemy force.

The town was in ruins, even the golden tree was unable to defend against the horde of enemies that had come down to attack them.

Reign wondered whether or not he should tell Shadow and the others of his vision.

It could be nothing, just a trick that the dark copy of himself might have done in order to shake Reign up, but he didn't think so.

It felt real, incredibly real.

Reign didn't feel as if he was looking at a scene from the perspective of another person, like in the previous visions, but that he was seeing everything through his own two eyes.

He felt his emotions, his anger, and anguish at what was happening, and was scared that he might have somehow seen a vision of the future.

If that was true, then Shadow and the others had to know.

The territory being attacked and overrun was a major thing, one that could spell the doom of them all.

Reign promptly got back to his room and got dressed before going out.

He went door to door and woke everybody up, telling them that they needed to have an emergency meeting in the living room. Everybody was confused by his actions, to have a meeting so late at night, was simply too weird.

Shadow and Wolf were the first to arrive, followed closely by Beast and Greenie, then Tank and Laura. As they all sat down in the living room lights were dimly lit, and Reign started narrating what he had seen to them.

They all listened closely, some showing looks of concern, whether the concern was for Reign and what he was experiencing or concern for the territory and what might happen to it, was unknown.

Some, like Wolf and Shadow, showed no change of expression. They had the same stoic, calm expression during the entire narration of events and simply listened to Reign.

Upon finishing his story, Reign looked at the six people in front of him, worried about what they will think of his narration. It was a long shot that it was true, and there was no guarantee that this wasn't a trick that the dark copy was pulling in order to make him worried and stressed out.

Still, Reign highly doubted that it was the copy that was doing it, after all, it had been helping him out a lot lately, even though he had no idea why.

As for inside his consciousness, Aethion, who was able to hear all that Reign had told to the others, was wearing a heavy expression.

"A vision of the future, and one that isn't far away," Aethion said before looking to the side.

"He is close, is he not?" Aethion asked the dark copy that was standing next to him.

"Yes, it seems that he will unlock it after reaching Tier IV, the evolution will allow his powers to finally show themselves."

"And then what, your words won't reach him then after he finds out about everything."

"Perhaps not, but he needs to know, without that, we will never reach the height we were meant to reach, we will never become one, one way or the other." The dark copy said before smiling at Aethion and disappearing.

"Ah boy, I hope everything goes well for you, after all, my fate depends on it as well," Aethion uttered before returning to his work.

After Reign had finished telling his story, the others were silent.

They didn't know what to say, the news was simply unlike anything they had thought they would ever hear. They would usually consider such talk of visions as nonsense, but for Reign to have one was different.

They knew about his visions and that he had been getting them a lot more often compared to before, only for them to stop for some time. For him to suddenly receive a vision of their own territory being destroyed had to be connected to that.

"So, what do we do, assuming that the vision is real," Shadow asked while Wolf started thinking.

"Assuming it is, we still don't know exactly what will happen, we only know the end, which is the territory being overrun by enemies," Wolf said before looking at them all.

"We have no idea how the enemies arrive here, we don't know who the enemy is since Reign had said that there were many different monsters, humans, and demons that were attacking, alongside some other races we haven't even seen."

"Could it be those guys?" Laura asked as Reign and the others all nodded.

"Quite possible, but the question still remains, how would they attack us with such numbers, how could demons and other races suddenly ignore the rules of the system and come over to attack the territory with such ease?"

"More importantly, where the hell were we when this happened, Reign, you just said it, your vision didn't show any of us, you were the only one in the town, and you were far away from the battle, but what about us?"

"What do you mean to say, Wolf?" Reign asked Wolf as the latter shook his head.

"I don't know, but if you were in the town during the battle, there should be no reason for us to not be present, except – "

"Except if we weren't here anymore, at all." Shadow said as the others all hung their heads down."

"No, not necessarily." Wolf suddenly added.

"We could be undergoing an evolution, we could be on a mission somewhere far away, perhaps even a challenge that sent us to other planets, of course, death is also another explanation, but not the only one."

"Hey, how big was the tree, actually, how powerful were the enemies?"

"There were Tier IV beings mixed there, as for the tree, I think it was larger than now."

"Alright, so whatever it is, it won't be happening any time soon, I hope."
