Asura Conqueror

Chapter 42: A Free Fall Down Memory Lane

The woman with green almond shaped eyes began dancing. Her dance was so intoxicating that Both Marcus's were staring at her, unmoving.

They were both captivated.

Her movements were flawless. Her silky hair danced together with her. Her curves were perfectly clear. She looks like a woman that Empires are willing to go to war for.

The dance soon finished. Marcus looked at her and she looked at Marcus. Lord Marcus smiled and she went towards the bed and sat beside him.

"I love seeing your awestruck expression whenever I dance. The Divine Conqueror having a face like that is something people would pay to see. Even Big Sister said that you look stupid." The woman chuckled.

"Anyone who will ever see you dance will have that reaction. Hahaha, she is just mad because I keep eating her" Marcus smiled as he kissed her cheeks and touched her body.

"Big pervert!" The woman pinched Marcus' side.

Marcus pulled back and looked into her eyes "Every time I see you dance, I fall for you all over again."

The woman looked at him "Then I will forever dance for you. Not only in this lifetime but in the lifetime's to come. And, and, even if I forget you, I'll still dedicate every single one of my dances to you."

"Silly girl." Marcus pulled her closer and passionately kissed her.

In the dark room, Marcus appeared once again. He looked to be in a trance. Trying to digest everything.

'Was I from the Heavenly Realm in my past life or somewhere higher. Is there even a higher realm? How dense could the mana there be? Who was I? What happened?

Marcus didn't have to wait. He was once again sucked. But this time it was different. He was speeding down. He feels being shot by a rapid-fire spell, only this time, the ammunitions were memories. The feeling of someone feeding you but every second they'd put a spoon back in your mouth with more food.

Marcus went on a trip down memory lane.

It started with Marcus who already had the title 'Divine Conqueror' take in a cat. They soon became best buddies and although the cat isn't strong enough to fight, he still manages the places Marcus conquered. Nexus, not only had a glib tongue but also loved to sleep with beautiful women. But that soon changed when he got to meet Marcus' close friend the Holy Maiden.

In another memory Marcus discovered a new type of magic. A magic that could split reality. A spell he called Chaos magic. He was intoxicated by it and soon studiously studied it.

In another one, Marcus met a woman from a different faction. He of course only found her beautiful at first but after seeing her actions and hearing her speak, he fell in the abyss of love. He was determined to make the woman his wife. So he worked for her love. It didn't start well. She had a lot of suitors and plus as was stated she was from another faction. They fought a lot but that's only because Marcus wanted to get close to her.

It took Marcus around 100 years or so to finally confess. It was when they both stood on top of a lake, under the moonlight. She of course initially refused but Marcus persevered. Soon they became acquaintances, and then they became friends. The people who were in the same faction as her and are pursuing her found out and they came to a deal that they would all take her. They went to her house when Marcus wasn't there.

How could Lord Marcus not be wary of lusty bastards like them? He dashed forward to The Lady of the Moon's house and slaughtered the invaders. The person he loved soon joined his faction after being betrayed.

Marcus was once again thrown into another memory. He was in the land where the dead reside. A place where death, poison, pestilence, and other types of magic related to the things in which most people call taboo are being practiced. Here Marcus got severely injured. He was seen by the Empress. She took pity on him and brought him to be healed.

He was eternally grateful to her. They soon talked and became friends. He found out that she was still single. Their friendship started to go deeper. Marcus however tried to put up barriers. But the heart yearns for what it couldn't have. Soon she became his second wife as she left her godforsaken empire where a lot of people wanted to destroy her. They thought that a woman should never be allowed to rule.

He was kicked out of the memory right after that. He was soon in a place where he and a few people close to him were surrounded. He scoured his mind and found out that he has seen this scene before. This was when everything turned bloody. From his new memories, he remembered that this was after he made a breakthrough in practicing chaos magic.

They fought hard against hundreds. Marcus and the gang of course couldn't win against them so Marcus used a chaos spell and teleported everyone away.

Everyone aside from Nexus who didn't fight was severely injured but only two of them were close to death. It was Marcus and the Holy Maiden.

Marcus laid on the bed. He was using his last moments to create something using a few parts of his soul. A wooden house with a few rooms.

As he felt that he was only a few seconds away from the grasp of death he smiled at them and said "If I have but one regret in this life, it's that I couldn't protect you. I just hope that you didn't regret choosing me."

The Lady of the Moon shook her head "I'd choose you; in the lifetimes to come, I would always find you and I'll choose you."

The Empress nodded "Death has to first give up on us before I stop choosing you."

Marcus smiled, he turned his head to the ceiling and closed his eyes. 'To the gods, if ever there are any, kindly grant my wish for I have never asked you any before. Please let me remember them. I don't care about anything else.'

'In the next life, I'll once again be a conqueror. But I won't be alone. I'll find the people I love and together, we'll make our way up to take back what's ours.'

Marcus and the Holy Maiden died and his wives followed him to the wheel of reincarnation. Marcus placed Nexus in his new invention that was in his soul and made him sleep before he passed away.

---------

Marcus was finally back inside the dark place, standing. He confirmed that there is a place higher than the Heavenly Realm.

His head was spinning from all the memories he recovered. Though what he noticed was that he only remembered things about four people and few events. His wives, the Holy Maiden, and Nexus. Nothing else other than that.

He sat on the floor. Tears rolled down his face. He could remember the pain, love, joy, and other emotions he felt in his past life with them. He did his best to calm down.

'I think Big Sis is the Holy Maiden. No! I'm sure of it!' Marcus thought. He was trying to organize the information in his mind. Nexus who suddenly fell in love with her was the biggest clue.

'I'm gonna find the people I love. This time, I'm going to protect them!' His determination soared the skies.

Eva and Nexus stood side by side in the Destrucstone. While Marcus is lying on the bed. Eva excused herself a while ago and left Zoey with the guards.

"Is he okay?" Eva who was back to wearing her white sweater asked.

Nexus nodded "He just pushed himself way too much this time around."

"You should have helped him." Eva sighed.

"You want me to damage his pride?" Nexus wryly smiled.

Marcus suddenly moved. He slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the other two people in the room. His eyes turned moist as he smiled.

Eva and Nexus walked up to him and asked how he was. Marcus told them he was okay. Eva left and went back to their room in the ship where Zoey was. Now only Marcus and Nexus were in the room

"I know," Marcus said in a low voice.

Nexus still heard it but was slightly confused. "About?"

"I remember." Marcus looked at Nexus.

Nexus opened his mouth but no words came out. His legs were shaking. He went to the side of the bed to sit.

"All of it?" Nexus asked in a hoarse voice.

Marcus shook his head and began telling him what he remembered. His wives, his two close friends, and the chaos magic, some events, and a few things he has done in his last life.

Nexus was silent the whole time. In the end, he took a deep breath. And asked, "Do you want to remember everything?"

"I would be remembering everything anyway because this stone is part of my soul so there's no need to tell me. That was my old life. I don't need to remember everything right away because I know that from your reaction, I have already remembered everyone and everything important. I am on a new road. Forging a new path. In my past life, I fell short. But in this life, I swear I will reach new heights. Let the people who schemed against us wait. I'll let them suffer once I see them again." Marcus vowed. He might not have remembered how to cast chaos magic but he's willing to learn again. His notes are in the stone after all.

Nexus chuckled "Well, you know I'm always on your side"

Marcus suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Big Sis the Holy Maiden?"

Nexus nodded, "Now you know why I'm like this."

Marcus stood up and he stretched "I can't believe you were that lucky. How long was I asleep?"

"2 years." Nexus seriously said.

"What?! Where's Carmen?!" Marcus yelled.

"Jesus chill. I was kidding. You've been asleep for 2 days. The crew who were in the hostages found and disabled the jammers, with my help of course and we contacted Estra. We also got the power back on so things are running swell. Though we can't move and the ship is only stationed in space right now. They are coming to get us and will arrive in a week. Damn, 2 and half weeks in space. Fuck, how do people even live with this?"

"Didn't you like it here because you can always watch tv?" Marcus asked.

"No, I mean yes, no I mean there's a big difference. You see at first I thought we were only going to be here for a week so yeah I was like 'Being here is pretty cool. There's nothing to worry about and all'. But knowing that we will be here for" Nexus yapped.
