《Second Chance of The Human Race》


 Day -5480

    Chapter 1


    Jesse had an ordaniary name, but wasn''t an ordanairy guy. In this mysterious world where humans were teleported to and where they no longer reigned supreme on the food chain, that was 15 years ago when the human population was almost nine Billion. Now fifteen years of absolute hell, the last one thousand remained, currantly fighting for their lifes at the gate of the Messiah''s temple, somewhere they have found refuge in for the last five years. Jesse was slaying left and right, people who were blue, silvery white, some pale, and the most was nearly pitch black, these were the domianate races that occupied this place of death and misery. Then a loud boom echoed as the Alpha to the pitch black people stepped forward, these was considered the Demons. The Alpha proclaimed "I am your Death! you pethetic humans" and with this announcement, he stepped forwards slaying the last few hundred as if they were just foot soldiers, Jesse walking back with his top elites awaiting there death to come like their comrades before them. Swish!, ding, Ahhhh was the sounds heard as the last few humans where slain, until only Jesse remained dead beat. The Demon alpha put a malisous smile one, covered in the blood of his fallen friends that he had spent years with. The demon stepped forward and asked "Any last words?", and before Jesse could answer, swung his blade as Jesse shut his eyes awaiting death.


    But it didn''t come, Jesse slowly opened his eyes and saw a golden figure, who stopped the blade an inch before Jesse''s neck, but wasn''t looking at the Demon who was shaking in fear, but Jesse. The mysterious figure looked at Jesse like he could peer into his soul, and then stated "My child, you have failed but I believe in second chances... but not thirds, do not fail me again." and with that Jesse''s vision didn''t go dark, but filled with a golden light as his counsouness floated back in time, 2 days before what was refered as "The Migration '''', this was the second chance, a chance to retry.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road.

    The light subsided, and Jesse was in pre caclulus, at his high-school that he barely remembered. Someone behind him whispered his name, causing him to jump out of his seat, and the entire class looked at him. Nervous and unsure what to do, Jesse went to the bathroom and sat in a stall and let his panic subside. He then called his mom and used the excuse that he had never used before, he was "Sick". Him and his mom where poor, his dad left before he was born and left his nineteen year-old mom with him alone, she worked long hours for low pay to but food on the table and the lights on. Jesse helped when he could, but his Mom always said "School first Jes, unless you want to be working like me for your kids." But as expected, she answered him with "yes Jes?" Jesse stammered, "um, I don''t feel to good, I know your at work but can you come and pick me up." Jesse in tears because he hadn''t seen his mom in fifteen years, she replied with "yes! I will be their soon" and with this she hung up. Jesse sat there crying as he recalls what happened to his mother in the "first try", Jesse had looked everywhere for her, but regreted when he did because he found her body motionless, and her clothes removed. She had been rapied and killed, Jesse stop crying and balled his fist and thouht, it will be diferent this time, I am going to try and save them all!

 After all those years, still a mammas boy

    Jesse had learned so much over the years after the Migration, Although magic and sorcery would come after the Migration, Jesse knew the spells, but he could feel no mana here. But Martial arts, at least the moves, He knew like the back of his hand. As Jesse was walking to the office, he came across the bully that followed him across the grades, his name was Troy and he stood around 6 feet and 200 pounds, Jesse was sitting at 6¡¯1 and 210 but used to be a geek anlet Troy run over him.


    Trying to by-pass him in the hallway, Jesse quickly walked by but heard the haunting bully that hasn¡¯t left him alone since kindergarden, old feelings flared up and became new again. Mixed with the stress of being reborn and the old rage towards his bully, Jesse ran up to him, jumped, and then otrnado kicked him in his temple. It was a one hit KO! Quickly running through the head office and out the door, he got into his mom''s car who was waiting for him outside.


    Immediately getting into the car, his mom asked ¡°is anything hurting sweety¡±, Jesse not wanting to lie said ¡°Just wait until we get home, I will tell you everything¡±. After this sentence, his mom knew that he wasn¡¯t sick but struggling with something mentaly, but not wanting to push anything sat in the car silently all the way home. Just as they arrived, his mom¡¯s phone rang and when she answered, she looked at Jesse feriously and sat as the person on the other end of the phone kept talking, his moms glare became questioning rather than angry and finally, all she said was ¡°I will come in tomorrow to talk about him¡± and with this hung up.


    Jesse never acted out, but tried his best to make his Mom¡¯s life easy. But knowing none of it mattered Jesse released his anger regardless and Boy! It felt GOOOD. Now? Shame overtook him as he saw the worry on his long dead, but now alive mother. All she had to do was walk torwards the house, and said ¡°I''ll make coffee¡±, her tone nerve racking. Jesse was speechless, he walked through the door of their condo and he went and sat on the couch.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    A few minutes later his mom came back with a cup of coffee and the first question was ¡°why did you hit Troy?¡±Jesse felt hit was an understatement and wanted to voice his pride on that hit, even with his (in comparison) astronomicly low physic, Jesse said ¡°I did more than ¡®hit him¡¯ mom, I tornado kicked him in the face for a one hit KO.¡± Hearing the pride in his work, and slightly not believing, his mother sat there and silently looked concerned. Her only response was ¡°would you like to see a therapist?¡± To Jesse, that was a silly question and he erupted with laughter, his mom was quickly furious and said ¡°Do you know what you did? You could ruin your life, I am going to have to get on my hands and knees tomorow and try to not get you expelled, or serve jail time.¡± This left Jesse Speechless, and he responded with ¡°Mom, Tomorrow won¡¯t matter, we will go to the school and ask for the tape and you will see the hit. And after that you will believe what I¡¯m about to say.¡±


    And after saying this Jesse said, ¡°Mom, I have lived for 31 years. The last fifteen was Hell because the day after tomorrow everyone on earth with be teleported into a world that thrives on the blood and bones of your enemies and the backs of your friends, and I think I can contest that God is real because I believe that he was the one who brought me back.¡± After this outburst, his Mom raged and yelled ¡°you kick someone and then compare god to one of the novels you read on royalroad? Not only do you lie about how you hit him, but dismiss it with a fantasy? You better hope and pray that there is some truth in your words, because tomorrow I WILL ask for that video and I Don¡¯t know what kind of threat to say right now so go to your room, were leaving at 7am so be at the door and waiting!¡± With this Jesse calmly went to his room, laid on his bed and for the first time in fifteen years got a full night''s sleep.

 His MOM believes

    His alarm rang at 6:50 am, 10 minutes to get ready For Jesse that was a lifetime because in the years that followed, or maybe came before him (depends how you look at it) you had to get ready in a few seconds or a Demon would rip your throat, or maybe a green Median. In 2 minutes, he got dressed, brushed his hair and teeth and still had time to ¡°work out¡±. Looking in the mirror at his weak body, Jesse decided to pump it up a little by doing¡­ handstand push-ups.


    Walking down at 6:55, he walked to the door with his mom waiting and on the phone with her employer as she explained why she was missing work today for the first time in 2 years. With a little bit of cussing, charm, and promise to pull extra hours they left the house and got into the car, his mom not saying anything, Jesse decided to break the ice.


    He started with ¡°I''m sorry I kicked Troy Mom.¡± His mom saw that he was truly sorry, although she didn¡¯t know that he was sorry for the stress put on her.  She went from father to loving mother in the next second as she replied ¡°I know sweety, but will you tell me why?¡± Jesse shrugged his shoulders and said ¡°I had about all I can take of bigger guys picking on the smaller ones.¡± His mom gave him a look, faced the road and continued to drive, speechless into the school, in the office and then into the principal office with the school''s SRO (student resource officer).


    They both sat down in front of the principal''s desk as The principal said the thing that they always say ¡±Do you know why you are in here this morning?¡± With this Jesse Leans back and replies with ¡°Yeah, I gave a bully what he deserved.¡± The principal didn¡¯t look surprised but his mom did, she said ¡°he has been bullying you before?¡± The Principal answered this one first with ¡°Yes but your son always told us not to take action because it would worry you, but now he took action into his own hands and the school is being threatened to get sued.¡± Jesse was taken back, and said in a matter of fact way ¡°they can¡¯t, if you review the footage, and look at his medical report, I hit him in his temple, not causing the concusion but causing a dizzy state. Then when he got up, my blow corrupting his balance, he then fell and then gave himself a minor concussion, if shown to a judge, it won¡¯t even be seen by a jury.¡± Unsure at how he knew this because Jesse had left the building before Troy fell, the SRO officer said ¡°you still hit him and minimum because this is your first offense, is a day of ASD.¡± His Mom, curious of what Jesse said the day before asked ¡°Can I see the footage of when Jesse hit him?¡± The Principal moved his computer screen around and hit play, on it was Jesse leaping 6 feet into the air, before he moved his body in a circular shape, as his foot landed on Troy''s temple. Seeing this she was taken aback, this looked like it came from a movie and her only response was ¡°Jesse will take the ASD today¡±, Jesse immediately stated ¡°I think I will take it tomorrow and the day after if it don¡¯t go on my record¡±If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Well he sure knew how to make deals, because they left the school as if it had never happened and Jesse''s mom was concerned, worried and confused. In the Car, Jesse looked at his mom and said outright ¡°Now believe what I¡¯m about to say, We need to go home and I need to teach you martial art¡¯s moves because at 12am tonight, what I said will happen, will happen.¡± His mom confused but unsure how to act after what she saw shook her head yes, and was speechless all the way home, and for the rest of the day, his mom hurt in places she didn¡¯t know she had, but she learned how to hit, where to hit, and most of all how to avoid dying this time.


    They trained until 5pm, soaked in sweat they both took a shower, ate ramen noodles and Jesse did his Handstand Push-ups until 6pm, Jesse then told his Mom ¡°when it happens, you have to run and hide, I will find you ASAP but until then don¡¯t fight anyone because everyone get¡¯s a skill, and the smallest guy might be able to rip you to shreds with a thought.¡± and making other comment like this, Jesse told his mom that it would take him a day and a half to reach where she spawned, and eager to protect the only person that he cared for only explained his knowledge by ¡°I lived it Mom, and last time everyone died, this time I will try to make sure everyone lives¡± this was his last statement as the clocked rolled over to 12AM and everyone on planet earth was teleported to another world, a place where dragons roamed and Demonic creatures would try to kill them, but for the first two weeks the creatures wouldn¡¯t be their biggest fight, but eachother

 The first day and Im the leader of... dont know what to call it yet

    Jesse regained consciousness and felt a wave a daja-voo come over him, last time he sat there with the nine other people around him. These people were his ¡°group¡±, people who¡¯s spawn was set because of their genetic and mental qualities pulled them together, although nobody was selected leader, Jesse knew it would be him. The only fear that crept into his mind was, ¡°What if they''re not the same? I mean I am different compared to last time.¡± Jesse hesitantly turned around to see his team, and with a few friendly faces but one that made him say aloud ¡°fuck! Not you!¡± Guess who it was, Troy¡­ Jesse quickly jumped up cursing inside and walked to the middle of the group, all nine people looking around rather than at eachother.


    Jesse quickly stood in the middle of the group and said aloud ¡°My name is Jesse Bilyeu, I am supposed to be 16 years old, but I''m going to tell you straight up. I was reincarnated, I survived this place around fifteen years after today and when I died, I died as the last human alive. We are in something called a group, we were selected for this group because of our genetic chemistry and moral make-up.¡±


    Troy had a look on his face of total shock and misery, he believed that Jesse was a lunatic and had gone nuts and he called him out on it by saying ¡°my name is Troy Augusti, and I know Jesse, I bullied him in highschool and he was a total wimp, until two days ago he completely lost his junk and tornado kicked me in the face, I think he''s a deranged lunatic!¡± Troy said aloud, making people believe him and move away from Jesse. Jesse quickly defended his image but not with words, but with action. He started drawing mana from his surroundings, activating his skill called ¡°Mana syphon ''''. It was a skill that allowed him to draw mana from everything near him, if he was strong enough that also mean¡¯t people and other creatures.


    Little known to Jesse, He had his skill roll over from last time, and upon the restart, he gained another one called ¡°skill replicater¡±, it was a skill that allowed him to copy peoples skill¡¯s when he took their mana. But unfortunately, his physic was not strong enough.


    When he had drawn enough mana, Jesse took control of it and condensed it into rwo balls, one of fire and one of ice and he levitated them in front of him and then stated, ¡°I have a skill that let¡¯s me take mana from my surroundings, because of my reincarcination I have access to mine now, but you will get your skill when you kill your first non-human creature and depending on what it is, you may not be able to use it until you strengthen your body enough.¡±


    All of them fell quiet seeing Jesse¡¯s power and ability, then fear took hold of them realizing Jesse¡¯s words, Troy felt everyone else¡¯s curiosity and asked ¡°you said non-human creature, what kind are you talking about? Dogs? Lions? Dinosaurs?¡± Jesse trying to not cause panic said ¡°More like dragons and titans, but it¡¯s a while before we see those, we are surrounded by three domes, in two weeks the first one falls, and we meet some decently strong creatures, in two months, the second one falls leaving the larger ones, like smaller dragons, young titans and demonic towns, with a few other type of humanoid monsters, and then in two years time, the last one will fall leaving us to the warlords and behemoths of the world.¡±Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    A shiver went down the nine people infront of him, as they heard what he said, they then asked ¡°so the nine of us versus all of them?¡± Jesse quickly gave them reassurance by saying ¡°no, their are 10 people every half mile in a grid like order, lucky people spawning in a castle looking place about three hundred miles that way¡±, Jesse pointed west


    Jesse then said, ¡°we need to start digging, underneath each group is a box with basic armor weapons, and a few strength enhancing pills.¡± Troy asked ¡±what do we dig with?¡± Jesse looked at him and said ¡°with anything, your hands, feet, or even your face if we have to because in two weeks, these supplies will save your life¡±. Jesse then activated his ability for a few seconds until he pointed at a spot in the ground and said, ¡°we need a three foot by three foot hole here.¡± Jesse detects the armor with his Mana syphon.


    Troy and the silent others who let Troy speak for them all started digging, Jesse walked a few feet away from the hole, sat down in a meditating position. After half an hour, the beauty of the group said ¡°My name is Rhonda, Why aren''t you digging?¡± Jesse looked at her and said ¡°I am collecting Mana, by looking at the hole, yall are about a tenth of the way there, but in a hour, Ill be able to shift the ground enough to open it up.¡±


    Rhonda just looked at him and then went back to digging, Jesse was hysterical, although he already had enough mana to move it left from his example with the ice and fire, he was using this time to listen the conversation and gain a look at the people he would move with for as long as they still breath.


    After time had passed and Jesse could see that his teammates had built some synergy, he stated ¡°alright, get out of the hole.¡± Everyone got out of their 3 feet deep hole as Jesse started creating water with his mana, he then let it seep in the ground, froze it and drug it out, with the box at the bottom.


    Jesse converted his ice back into mana, allowing the dirt to fall onto the ground. Jesse then brought the box out of the mound and opened it, inside was 10 spacial rings one was black while the others gold. Jesse picked up the black one and said ¡°this ring symbolises the leader¡¯s position, now we vote on who will lead.¡± Jesse then said ¡°raise your hand if you vote for me¡± nine hands were raised as Jesse became the obvious choice.¡± Jesse then grabbed the remaining nine and passed them out.


    Once their hands came into contact with the rings, their content¡¯s filled their holders minds as inside was a set of light armor and a weapon that somehow fitted the holders prefernce or gene match-up. Jesse¡¯s was a bow, his prefernce weapon before his death because he could form arrows out of his mana, which mean¡¯t infinite arrows that was made of¡­ anything.


    Once equipped, Jesse said ¡±now will head to my mother, don¡¯t worry she is on the way to an artifact temple.¡± and with this, his group started walking towards the north-west as the sun was about midway into the sky.
