Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: The Return of Memories and the failed Mission

After that, Aarav steps away from them both and says,

"What son? What mission? I don't know what you two are talking about.

All I remember is—I have to kill the Zombie King."

Hearing this, both divine spirits look at each other. Then, they restore Aarav's memories.

Suddenly, everything comes back to him. He breaks down in tears, remembering his sisters…

"First Sarah, who used all 6 of her crystals to protect me from the Zombie King.

Then Julie, who used her 3 crystals to heal me until she completely exhausted her powers—

and died.

And finally Muskan…

She used 9 crystals just to protect my body from being overtaken by the Zombie King.

But after that… I still turned into a zombie.

I didn't even remember that you two were my parents…

Or the mission that I failed."

Then Shadow says,

"That's because we haven't given you your Divine Spirit yet.

Come with us."

Aarav follows them to a place that looks like a castle. There, he receives his Divine Spirit.

His father tells him:

"Since the day you were born, your powers were unknown—

because you carry both my power and Shadow's power.

But ever since you entered the lower world,

you've only been able to use 1% of your true strength."

Aarav then consumes the Divine Spirit into himself.

Suddenly, he regains all of his powers… and all of his memories.

That's when he remembers his real mission:

He must kill Saanvi and Zabuza.

Both of them possess the powers of Unknown Entities.

Aarav recalls what he did before losing his memory:

He killed Zabuza's parents so that Zabuza would starve to death.

But when a young boy tried to stop him, Aarav erased his memory,

fed him, and manipulated him until the boy believed Zabuza's parents were murdered by someone else.

Zabuza was left traumatized.

Later, Aarav did the same to Saanvi—he killed her parents so she would suffer and starve too.

But Saanvi saved not only herself but other orphaned children too.

Her inner kindness moved Aarav.

Because of that, he locked away his powers into a Divine Spirit and asked his mother to seal his memory as well.

He went into the world carrying only 1% of his powers.

Without his memories, all he knew was—he had to find Saanvi.

He lived like a human. Felt hunger, thirst.

Eventually, fate brought him to Saanvi.

Her beauty made him fall in love.

But during a zombie attack, they were forced into a bunker.

He confessed his love—and she accepted.

They planned to marry.

But before that could happen, another zombie attack occurred.

To save Aarav, Saanvi sacrificed herself and was taken by the zombies.

Aarav, helpless and memoryless, fled.

But her scream triggered the awakening of his 1% power.

His father, Fragment of Light, helped him…

And soon he met Julie, Sarah, and Muskan—

who helped him fight to protect Saanvi.

But in the end, they all died.

And Aarav, heartbroken and lost,

became a High-Level Zombie King.

A quick note from Aarav to the reader:

You might be wondering… why didn't I just kill Saanvi and Zabuza directly?

Let me explain.

They hold powers of divine entities.

If they died in their divine form, they would be reborn…

Again and again.

Each time they'd return, the power would come back with them.

This cycle would continue forever—

Die… reborn… die… reborn.

So, I chose another path.*

Scene Shift:

Meanwhile…

The Zombie King tells the Spider Entity:

"He's been born."

The Spider then tells Zabuza the truth:

"When nothing existed in the entire universe—

I was there.

I created two beings:

Fragment of Light and Shadow of Darkness

…because I was lonely.

But I made them fight for 10,000 years.

Sometimes Fragment would die, sometimes Shadow.

Watching them was fun.

But one day, both of them turned against me.

When I slept, they extracted my powers and split them into two vessels.

They gave those powers to two humans and kept them so far apart…

that no matter what, they couldn't meet.

Because if they do,

my full power would return.

When I awoke, I found myself trapped in a strange creature's body.

Now I seek revenge.

Once I regain all my powers…

I will destroy this world.

HAHAHAHA!"
