Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Johnny! Where are the girls? None of them have been back for two days!"

"Where? Miss them."

Alana and Bless tugged at me as they asked. Mischievous as ever, I spun around as they hung on my biceps. A moment later, a rolled-up newspaper hit me on the head.

"Oy dipshit, stop ignoring me. All these people smell dangerous. I saw some of them even move into the neighborhood. What is going on?"

Feeling that it was better to let everyone know, I stopped spinning and carefully let my adopted sisters down.

"I asked them to move in. Each of them is an elite soldier on par with the military. Their only job is to protect you at my request."

"What?" "Wow!" "..." "..."

Bless and Earl said nothing, but I could sense their impatience at my explanation. Only Alana seemed to miss the implications of what I had just shared.

At first I was determined not to tell my family about Hellsgate. The dead should stay with the dead and the living with the living. I thought that before I met Pixie.

Pixie died as a human, but was summoned to Hellsgate as a half-descendant. Her mother became a Reaper and died without her knowing. Even worse, before IRIS could protect Pixie, she was dragged into Hell to become a slave.

Most people would have stopped there. But my dark mind kept thinking. How and why did Pixie's mother become a 1st generation Reaper?

"I will take your silence as a yes. My lord, 1st generation reapers are a product of chance, like me I need a fateful encounter to get my hands on the blood of a reaper. From the 2nd generation onwards, it is usually from the blood of a friend or acquittance."

That was what Vincent told me. If it wasn't the bastards who made rogues by force, it must have been an acquaintance of Pixie's mother. Or more likely.

'Her dad. What if the father disappeared because he was a reaper. And after her dad died, her mom followed.'

I didn't know if this was done on purpose or not, but originally, I had assumed that Hellsgate would control the reapers well enough that no unnecessary people would be sent to Hell.

The problem was that they didn't. At least not in North America. If that was the case, then the odds of a random reaper turning my family into their children, while not high, were never zero.

So I planned to tell my family ahead of time and let them join the Reapers. It would be much better to be my children than someone else's.

"Everyone, what I am about to tell you does not leave this room. {Day by Day}"

Seven John Smiths appeared and moved to close the curtains and block the windows. Sunday remained in front of my family as they were rendered speechless.

"Ma, Pa. Please listen to me very carefully. I am no longer human. I am sorry I lied. But I died in Tempe about three weeks ago. I was beaten to death trying to save a girl who was about to be raped."

"What?" "Dipshit , what the fuck are you saying?" "Johnny, what is this?"

I grabbed a camera and put it on video and filmed myself with the phone turned towards them. Of course, they all noticed that I was not in the camera.

"This is not a trick. I am now called a reaper. An undead being who fights zombies in hell. I am kind of a big deal now, and everyone who has moved into this place are people I have helped. We make a lot of money killing zombies."

Alana and Bless grabbed the camera and could not believe what they were seeing. They even pulled out their own cell phones to see if it would be the same. Earl said nothing while Noelle made a stern face.

I looked at the TV and turned it on with {Code}. I then connected it to Graveyard and showed the Connie's promo.

"What you are about to see is what I have been doing every night for the past week. Mr. Simmons, this is why I was training at the gun range. Ma, this is why the Sirens are dedicated to me. Because we fought and almost died together."

I played the promo while my avatars helped them sit more comfortably on the couch.

[THIS IS WHAT YOU ALL FAIL TO SEE EVERY DAY! THOSE MONSTERS ARE THE CHAINS THE BIND YOU! EVEN RETURNING FROM THE DEATH YOU ARE NO MORE THAN SHEEP FOR SLAUGHTER!]

Then they saw me give a pep talk to the rest of Hellsend. Seeing familiar faces from the Sirens to the 2nd Amendment, they were horrified as the zombie horde emerged. At the same time, my soul avatars returned to {Day by Day}.

"Dipshit , tell me these are movie effects; this can't be real, can it?"

"Johnny, please say it is fake. I-I'm scared."

When the scene showed Hellsend starting to attack the zombie legions, my family had horrified expressions. They couldn't even finish the rest of Connie's interview before Earl forcibly turned off the TV.

"John. Does the government know about all this?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you telling us all this now?"

"I-I..."

I was about to go to war and I didn't know if I would survive.

Although I knew what words to say, my mouth did not move. Seeing my hesitation, Noelle and the sisters began to get emotional.

"Johnny! You like guns, but you're not a fighter! You could get hurt!"

"Johnny, this is crazy. Quit right now."

"Dipshit, this has got to be a joke, right? This must be a prank or something like those TV shows! Haha! good one, tell the camera crews to come out now! OUT! COME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

Knowing that I had little time left, I sucked it up and said the words.

"I'm going into a war that I am not sure I will return from. The hardest I have ever had. If I don't make it back..."

"DON'T! DON'T FUCKING FINISH THAT SENTENCE! DIPSHIT! You can't just dump all this on me. I still find it hard to believe that you are already dead!"

Knowing it would be easier to show them, I summoned the Raging Hunter and placed the muzzle under my chin. Then I pulled the trigger.

"JOHNNY!" "JOHN!" "DIPSHIT!"

Despite their attempts to stop me, a bullet entered my lower jaw and exploded the top of my skull into a bloody mess.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" x3

There were screams of horror when my family saw my almost headless body. In the next second, I invoked my {Fate}.

'{Rewind}'

My body disappeared and reappeared with my clothes clean and my head intact. Of course, the blood that splattered the ceiling and the TV was still there.

"Everyone, calm down. I am still here."

Noelle and my sisters couldn't handle what was happening. Alana fainted on the spot. Bless caught her as tears streamed down my sister's face. Noelle, on the other hand, lunged at me and landed a powerful right hook to my cheek.

I didn't fight back, but with {Limitless} on, I didn't even flinch.

"Dipshit. This is all too much. What mother would want to see such a sight. I almost felt myself die a moment ago."

"I'm sorry, Noelle. But this was the quickest way to make you understand."

Earl stepped forward and took Noelle in his arms. She started to whimper like a child.

"John. Explain," anger was evident in his voice.

"I'm about to fight a war tonight at 9:00. I cannot not go. If I don't return, you must leave this place as soon as possible."

"The girls?"

"They will fight with me."

"..."

"The others outside?"

"They will stay and guard you until you have moved."

"What are your chances of winning?"

"5%."

"Can't you surrender?"

"No."

"Then tell me the rest when you get back," Earl said as he turned around.
