"Look at all these beings. Andrew,do you know why we exist?" Hedonism asked Andrew in the static white void with Fear present. Numerous red and golden threads wrapped around him rewriting his existence. He had a passive look on his face. His eyes dull and only gave faint responses. "I don't know." Fear looked at Andrew before stating ,"We are your principles. Unlike God's which lays in all of reality with no way of opposing it. You created us from your calculations realizing the basis of God's principles. Now we're going to help you remember how it was back then."

Andrew looked like a strewn doll suspended on strings. He couldn't see as his eyes were replaced with clothing buttons. "When am I going to get out of this place?" He asked to which the response ,"I don't know how long. After God resets everything though this time he will make his dogs more powerful than last time thanks to us. But until then, you'll be experiencing a recap." Andrew continued to lay motionless as a voice rang in his mind.

"Every being has a basis with that being hedonism and fear. In search of strength,their motives are from these two principles. The pleasure of the benefits of being strong or the fear of being weak then manipulated and killed so they strive for power. Power can be in various forms, money for you humans but in the grand scheme, it's about the ranks and point of evolution. intellectually. However flaws also come from worshipping hedonism and fear in itself such as vices which is basically uncontrolled hedonism or fear. Like greed or lust. It would seem that every being has this configuration within their existence."

"Now it is with this net of illusion of these two principles that you were able to harvest just like God and gain unfathomable power however you got bored that life and decided to become a human,a prime target of these two before Omniphinx summoned you. The further basis of this is about the discontinuity of these two principles which you achieved. You were the first being to see through the meticulous craft and gained a favor which you spent without your consent but the benefits of the discontinuity is that you are able to tip the scale of those still under it's effects equivalent to God but you'll still retain your skills if you'd like."

Andrew paused for a second. 'It all feels too familiar.' "But wouldn't having power classify it as Hedonism then?" He asked, curious. "Well yes it would but thanks to your modification,your hedonism isn't equivalent to the beings around you thus you are the sole beneficiary of it unlike the others. It's a complicated procedure which you never fully explained to us back then." The two spoke simultaneously. "Every being should have a thread around them,either golden or red showing what they serve more and you can manipulate it to your liking. As for servants and puppets,these threads will link back to their master but luckily for you,your creatures can't be traced back to you."

"My creatures?" He asked. "It will become clearer much later on as you regain more of yourself." The two spoke. "Even though I said it's a restart,it won't be a complete loop of what happened earlier." Hedonism with a chuckle. "The only problem you'll have is maintaining your sanity of wiping everything out of existence but luckily it won't come to that." Fear added on. "It seems that it will longer than expected but we have all the time we'll ever need here as you recall." The two spoke before vanishing from sight. Suspended in the eternal white static void, slowly his mind was filled with past pretences of his skills,feats and experiences. He could feel his mind and brain slowly tear piece by piece as it tried to accumulate all of it till overtime the pain started to dullen.

....

'Since he now recalls his past,I hope this time won't be as boring.'

....

*Ring!!!*

Raising his head, Andrew felt the loud ringing of the bell. Flooding his brain were all the details of this new world which was completely different from the "first'' one. He was shocked that ox

Andrew was unfamiliar with her as he hadn't seen her in his previous life. 'Maybe she's not here.' Andrew thought as he looked at the rest of the class. It was as normal as it got,there were the students who actually studied and those who wasted time in different ways like focusing on the physically weak,focused on their public image and other time consuming activities. But for Andrew,he had spent it the way he would have liked it,on the norm. Not too focused and not too sidetracked with his studies.

There was nothing outstanding about him like his previous world but this time,there was a difference. All the boys in the class stood up and raised their right hand without their consent. "What's happening to our bodies?!?" The boys all asked but they immediately sat back down. "Do any of you have an issue to address to me?" The teacher whose name was Grace inquired. "No." All the boys said simultaneously before an awkward silence took over the room. Naturally they had no idea that that was Andrew's doing because he still had his skills.

'I thought that a similar event like my death had to happen for me to acquire my skills again?' He asked to which a voice rang in his head. 'Why would need to reacquire a skill you already had? And besides, you don't actually think Omniphinx gave you those skills, right?' Hedonism said with a sadistic tone. "I thought he did." Fear responded ,"What that puppet did was make you remember your skills from way earlier,he manipulated you into choosing the skills you "chose" but what he was doing was making you remember your skills. Why do you think it took you no time to master them?"

Andrew giving a short sigh before asking ,"A puppet!" "Yes,yours though you can't do anything right now at your level against him. You'll have to overcome the limit mark we told you about but even that would mean you losing what you currently value, your humanity." Fear finished off. "Since you have all finished your studies to become constructive and reproductive citizens,the school along with all of your guardians have arranged a retreat for your accomplishments which will begin tommorow. You may ask your guardians or parents further on this matter. That will be all and I hope you all have a life filled with prosperity and success as we mee later in life should we ever." She said as she left the room signifying that the students could leave.

It was about noon but being a special day,they were dismissed early to head off home. "I don't think I'll be attending the retreat. My dad has already arranged a flight for me off to Britain." One of the boys spoke to his friends. He had golden hair,a real eye candy to the ladies due to his good looks and a good backing from a wealthy family. "Same here, I'll be going off abroad to further my studies." Another said. It was a lady. Silky black hair cascading down back her neck reaching her shoulders. She was adorned in a white shirt and black skirt and a natural beauty in the class and the golden boy's girl. A perfect match one could call it.

Others came up with more reasons however Andrew really couldn't care about what happened,what far-reaching connections they had or their backing,after all,in contrast to them,he was a deity in sheepish clothing. He could rewrite everything about them,their status or their will. 'I thought you would have tampered with their minds for your selfish interests. You're no fun.' Hedonism said in his head. 'Like what,mind control and have sex with the beauties of the class.' 'Yeah.' His response. It's not that idea hadn't passed his mind but now he wasn't in the mood for it.

'Sorry to disappoint.' He said callously as he watched the classmates talk with each other. "I think that we should each take a moment to tell the rest of the class your journey with us." The class representative said. She was dressed in a black blazer to show her distinction and so-called authority,a red shirt and a red with golden lining at the margin dress reaching her knees. A lot of males in the class were attracted towards her by her charms but they couldn't due to her cold and detached attitude. Also the fact that she was already in a relationship with the school president only deterred them further from approaching her.

The class had four rows across and seven students to it's backwith Andrew seating at the last column farthest away from the door. A male wearing uniform similar to the blondie stood up and went to the front of the class. He raved on about his experience with the rest of the class to which some were intrigued while others dismissed it. In a summary he said that it was pleasant not to mention that he would miss them during his journey in life. "Hey Melvin,do you have a love confession? Like a crush perhaps." A question shot by some boys and after the class pushed him,he said that his crush was the class representative to which the class easily mocked and dismissed him and the next student went on behind him.

The trend went on and from this pattern, Andrew would be last to which during the whole event,he reviewed what he knew and applied it in his present situation. 'From the two in his head,every single being has either Fear or Hedonism controlling their lives without them knowing. The strive for power in worlds with or without magic due to the privileges,the hedonism,of high statuses or the fear of suffering and possibly death and can work in my favor. From my previous summations,I simply tap into either or both of these factors and it should be downhill from there. Protagonists, villains and the neutral all fall in this category without question.'

'Along with that,I can control mine much clearer. The principles were:

1:Provided the target or opponent has ever experienced one of the two principles,the result will always result in my victory.

2: Subordinate can be linked back to their masters and the earlier principle will still apply.

'So that would mean should anyone want to defeat me,they wouldn't need a reason to do so and that in itself is insanity as they would try to take revenge or vanquish evil. All parties under the influence of hedonism so as to increase their power to conquer and achieve more and the fear of dying and suffering. But there will be those unnatural instances to which,I have more cards for me to handle on my deck than I can manage with the three. In other words the result will always result in a win-win situation for me. At first it never made sense to me but now understanding it fully, there's no way I can lose with looking into the details.'

"Andrew, you're up." A voice rang but Andrew was too absorbed in his mind with his eyes closed. "Andrew!" Another voice shot at him bringing him back to the all too familiar scene. With most of the eyes on him,he understood what he had to do so he walked towards the front of the class and looked at his fellow peers. Casting his gaze,he could see red and golden threads wrapping all over their bodies meaning that they were under the influence. The principles weren't a skill but something that occurred naturally, how,like this. 'All of them are in school to begin with because they fear being poor not to mention they want luxury lives. The fear of repercussions of avoiding school and many more but provided he could find a single thread regardless of what it was,how minor it was and he could bend his will much easier to his liking.

"It's like an unfair cheat inshort." Hedonism recalled back then so have fun." The class started to murmur looking at the medium to skinny frame of the boy standing in front of them. "We're waiting for you Andrew." The class representative said. He gave a soft inhale and exhale before starting.
