LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Awakening
Alexander and Jonny gasp as the darkness recedes, and pain sprouts inside them. Soon the pain fades, and Jonny's body is made of light and fire. Alexander's body is soon made only of darkness and mana. Eventually, after what feels like hours, they fade Into the nothingness outside the darkness...and wake up.
1st POV: Alexander
I gasp for air as I wake up. I quickly jump to my feet, nearly tripping as I quickly realize my body is...different. I look down, and see I am wearing...armor? I instinctively mentally reach for my 'Menu' and it appears in front of me.
{[Alexandros Umbra: Lv 0]}
. I shut my eyes as I feel around in my head, my mind coming across memories. Some are familiar, somehow, and others are viscerally foreign, yet known. I come across a dim, foggy memory of my past, and instead of trying to recall it, I open my eyes and see Jonny looking at his grimoire. "...Hey Jonny...you look...different."
Jonny, once wide and my height, is now taller, around 6'5, and his skin is more tanned than before. his eyes are now the color of an orange-gold sunset, and his hair is black. His face has a very 'noble' look to it, with slightly rounded edges. Think Vol 8 Jaune, but with black hair and fiery orange eyes.
"so do you. Holy crap. that was...all real!" Jonny sounds the same as ever, and I look at my menu.
...
It's static... "err...[Status]?"

"Way too many words and things...guess I'll be more specific next time...wait, Jonny-"
"Let me guess. Some oversoul shard and lord reincarnation? It's freaky, isn't it? our other selves were lords!" "Yeah, pretty much."
I look at Jonny, and blink as I pull out my fullbody mirror...somehow pulling it from a portal above my hand, and set it up. We both take turns looking at ourselves.
Jonny grins at his now (Very!) handsome face. His messy black hair, narrow eyes, and regal face. he then steps back, and lets me look at myself.
I look at myself, noticing that my hair is long, messy, and black as pitch. I look at my own noble-ish features, noting that me and Jonny could pass as siblings...and that my eyes have become a light silver color.
...FUCK!
"Jonny...I have-" "Silver eyes?! lucky bastard..." "Lucky? LUCKY? DUDE IMMA BE HUNTED EVEN MORE BY GRIMM! WE'RE IN MOUNT GLENN!" "...oh...shit." I sigh at his depressed look, as I put my mirror back in my inventory, and look around. I see we are in the middle of a deserted courtyard, and I spot a deserted police station. I point to it, and beckon Jonny to follow me. I smile a bit as I hear Jonny following as I lead us to the cells. find the keys to the biggest cell in a few minutes, When it is open, I walk inside, and pull out the clamshell. It's as large as a damn pizza box, and as thick as one.
I then pull out the abyssal coiled sword, which looks like a fire poker with a twisted point.
I place the shell down, and watch as Abyssal energy builds in the shell, and then I push the sword through it, into the ground. purplish blue energy coils around the sword, changing it, as the shell dissolves. Roots build up near the sword, and I recall a memory fondly... Bonfire lit-
{[Wellspring Created]}
"well Damn! nice." I turn and see Jonny making his way in, and we sit at the Wellspring together. We both sigh as the energy washes over us, and we blink in synchronized shock as a popup appears.
