Three days later. Today is the third day since David's rebirth, and there are still about 27 days left until the end of the world. The sale of the house went much smoother than David had imagined. After the real estate agent listed David's house at a low price on various channels that day, it immediately attracted buyers. The buyer was the owner of a small company who bought the house for investment purposes. Because the price David listed was low enough, and the city had developed very well in recent…

"Did I get reborn?" David looked at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar office, hardly believing his eyes. He clearly remembered being chased and trapped by a group of crazy zombies and being forced into a dead end. In the end, with no way out, he aimed the gun at his own head and pulled the trigger, firing the last remaining bullet. And now, everything seemed as if it had never happened. David looked at his clean and neat clothes and his intact body, his eyes filled with both shock and joy. He…

"Nikolaos it's "You are coming with us, Litos. You tried to kill our friend yet we offer you the mercy of not doing the same to you. Now get up now." He tries to stand under the common of my words but constantly drops. "It's okay Damon. Let's get going." Nikolaos starts walking away dragging Litos by his cape. Litos refutes it by quickly standing albeit limping as we begin to take the walk back to the creak. The trip goes smoothly as we three 12-year-olds walk through a large forest to find…-

Nero is tied to a tree from his own cloak and brutally beaten up. His nose shows a harsh crack in the middle and his eyes closed. He was perhaps knocked out or praying to idol gods. His whole body shows bodily harm from blunt punching and kicking. "I don't see anyone! We need to save him!" Georgios runs out and Nikolaos is not too far behind. It might be a trap... But even if it is we could take them, we must help our fallen friend. I run out with them and eventually, we reach him. "Nero, are you…

By the orders of our Eiren, we march one by one into a carriage. The group and I shuffle to the same carriage with luckily no pushback from the Eiren or any observing Spartans. Eventually, everyone is placed into a carriage and the Spartan in front throws us blindfolds. The carriage rides for a long time. I count each second by flickering my finger with routine. By now it should be 2 whole hours of just laying around. One by one we get thrown out by a separation of 5 minutes each. Once the 10th time…

Georgios and Nero gather fruits and vegetables from bushes and trees While Nikolaos and I go by a creek collecting rocks. "Nikolaos have you found any large rocks to sharpen off of?" I ask while holding a good-sized 6-inch rock fit for sharpening. Nikolaos holds out a 2-foot rock with a smile and nods. I approach the rock and start hammering them into each other until a sharp 3-inch blade remains. "Why is it so small?" "Nikolaos we are only using this to cut up Georgios's cloak and maybe Nero's…

"Damon..." Xenophon looks down at me while I stand out the door now ready to ride back to the Agoge. "In these two months, all your skills have improved and you have even won Baukis over." My face turns surprised and Xenophon heavy hands my hair messing it up. He begins to laugh and we then enter our carriage riding back. "Have you enjoyed your time Damon?" "Yes, Xenophon." Xenophon begins to smile and the rest of the ride goes peacefully. Eventually, we make it back to the Agoge with everything…

"Are we going to train after breakfast?" "Yes but not with me. I am just the Olympic representative so I have brought a past Olympic victor to train you for the rest of our time together. It has been a process with the ephors but they have allowed him to enter Sparta to train with you. It's been a while since Sparta has had a victory in multiple events so in 3 years we plan to fix that issue." We walk down together and a foreign man stays sitting feasting on his large breakfast. The man has a bulked…
