Re:Immortal

The three patriarchs were in an awkward situation, they sat down in the middle of the Bai clan's main hall, the survivors of each sect sat behind their respective patriarch forming a huge line and filling the hall to the brim. The mood was tense as each side glared at the other with the Bai clan's disciples fuming with anger embarrassment. These people had just attacked their homes! Killed their brothers and sisters! And tried to kill them! And now they have to sit down with them?!

No one was satisfied but they had no choice, the Immortal Mentor was very clear and no one was ready to be on the receiving end of such a legendary figure. Just remembering the fight from before was enough to make their blood turn cold.

"Cough, Daoist Bai what do you say we let bygones be bygones?" The Void sect leader was the first to break the silence with an awkward cough as he asked.

"Hmph, how shameless can you be Old monster?"

"Heh, we may have failed in exterminating you but you do realize that your losses were heavy." Smirked the Sword Devil.

"Ahahaha, my losses? Oh, Sword Devil have you finally turned senile?"

Hearing the Bai clan's patriarch's mocking tone made the Sword Devil's face turn red as he shouted "Don't get too cocky Daoist Bai, while it's true our side have suffered as well you are in no type of advantage whatsoever!" Failing to control his temper a little bit of the Sword Devil's aura leaked.

"Calm down Sword Devil! Don't forget the esteemed mentors warning!" Hurriedly urged the Old monster. The Bai clan's patriarch on the other hand merely smirked in disdain, it was no secret that the Sword mount sect leader had a short temper so he hoped to use that so that he may bring down the wrath of the Immortal Mentor on him.

It was then that an indescribable killing aura engulfed the entire mountain causing it to tremble and making all those present shakes in fear.

"You damned fool you went and did it! The Mentor is angry!!" Hissed the Void sect leader as he dropped to his knees and kowtowed towards the direction of the mountain peak, following him were the Void sect disciples and elders.

Right after they dropped the Bai clan's patriarch and his clan, the Sword Devil was the last as his heart almost came to a halt as he felt the killing intent, 'I messed up! The Mentor is angry! He is angry at me!!' With cold sweat covering his back he dropped to kowtow as well followed by his shivering sect members.

Meanwhile, at the peak of the mountain, Omis was still in shock from the news Addi told him. He found it very hard to believe that Addi has been here for thousands of years! This was not hundreds we were talking about, it was thousands! He had so many questions that he did not pay much attention to the killing intent Addi was releasing and the effect it had on the people bellow.

"Addi, I need you to explain a little bit more so I can understand." As he regained his bearings, Omis asked.

Taking another deep breath to calm himself, Addi retracted his killing intent as the mountain slowly settled down and stopped shaking. A distant look soon took over his face as he seemed to recall some memory.

Slowly he started to speak, his voice calm but steady "I don't remember what I was doing, nor do I remember if 'I logged it' If you want to call it that." He paused, his body visibly shuddering as he seemed to struggle to speak but he continued.

"What I do remember as if it was yesterday was when I woke up. I didn't wake up in my throne room as you did, no I woke up in our clan's headquarters. I wasn't the only one, almost all our clanmates were there, boss, the damned crow., heh..." He chuckled bitterly before pouring another drink to himself.

"The ones that were missing were you, Savage Rain, Daimyo, and Autumn. No one knew how we got there or why and as I said, no one remembered anything of our real-life, the more we tried to more it seemed to slip away from our grasp." He extended his palm as if to grab something before letting it fall back down.

Omis remained quiet as he let him continue his story. "The following days, or was weeks? I don't quite remember, you see the years tend to cause this you start to forget...Anyways the following days were spent trying to understand more about our situation, there was no more 'game system' that made things easier nothing, using our cultivation prowse came to us naturally as if we had been doing it for years." He paused to drink his wine before resuming.

"One thing that we ended up finding was that the gate to the mortal realm was closed."

"The gate?"

"Yes, the gate. We were essentially caged in heavens. It wouldn't have been that bad but we were unable to traverse to any of the outer worlds either. The first year was one of the worst, a lot of people were unable to accept such reality, all of us knew that we did not truly belong here, that there was a real-life or so we thought. The people that tried to delve into their memories, those that tried to remember changed the more they pushed themselves to remember the crazier they turned, they lost control of their cultivation base along with any sort of sanity they had, they attacked everyone and everything that their eyes came across with no regards of who it was." His voice cracked as he struggled to maintain his composure, his eyes turned wet, he held his head with both his hands as he continued.

"Lana, s-she turned into one of them." By the end, he was unable to contain his tears as he sobbed.

Lana, Omis knew who that was, it was Addi's Dao-partner in-game and they also...wait they also what? There was something else but he was unable to recall what. As he tried to, a cooling sensation washed over him and made him forget.

'Huh? W-What just happened?!' He could feel that something interfered with his train of thought, it was like a veil that covered his brain before he could think about it any further Addi spoke.

"I-I killed her, I had to...*Sob*...She came at me with the intent to kill, I didn't mean to...*Sob*...I remember her Omis...I remember her, she was my wife..." With that, he broke down sobbing.

And as if a fog was cleared in his head, Omis remembered Addi and Lana, they knew each other from 'real-life'! The time Addi had to take a break for a few weeks off the game was because he was getting married! How could he forget?! Addi had bragged about the news all month before his wedding! How could he forget?! After Addi came back, he did not come back alone, no he brought his wife with him to the game! Looking at the sobbing figure of Addi, Omis was unable to find the words to say.
