Chapter 17- I Am You:

I Soon Drifted Off To Sleep, A Goodnight Rest Is What I Needed At This Time Anyway. Never Thought I'd See Myself Fighting Giant Monkeys And Corrupt Priests In 17 Years Of My Life. Although The Harem Part That Comes With That Package Ain't That Bad. Completely Worth It From My View.

However, I Opened Up My Eyes Again And I Was Expecting To Wake Up In My Bedroom Surrounded By My Girls But I Was Somewhere... An Unknown Dimension It Seemed. It Was Completely White, My Mind Instantly Guessed It Was That Reaper Guy But I Had My Doubts Since That Monster Had Presentation.

"Ah, So You've Made It?" A Familiar Figure Spoke, Appearing In Front Of Me. "Ummm, Who Might You Be?" I Asked With Intrigue As The Mysterious Figure Turned Around. "I Am You" The Man In The Cape And Officer Cap Spoke With A Cold Tone. 

"Huh?" I Asked Again Completely Dumbfounded By His Answer. "Don't You See? You Idiot!" The Man Yelled In Anger As I Could See His Face Clearer Now. He Had A Blonde Beard, Blonde Hair And Blue Eyes... He Was Just Like Me But Older.

"How Is This Even Possible... Although This Wouldn't Be A Farfetched Scenario Since I Did Just Fight A Priest And An Ape" I Thought To Myself As The Man Sighed With A Firm Nod And A Sudden Grin. "I'm You From Another Timeline" He Explained Tensing Up His Fist With Annoyance.

"I'm From The Timeline... Where You Ended Up Alone... You Had To Fend For Yourself All Because Of A Traitorous Woman" My Other Self Whispered Into My Ear As My Eyes Widened With The Realization Dawning On Me. "You Fell Victim... To Mia...?" I Sighed As I Looked Back Up At Him With Sympathy.

"Oh I Sure Did, She Spread Her Rumours Far And Wide To The Point Where I Was Labelled As A Sexual Predator And Nothing Else... My Reputation Tarnished" He Added With Anger And His Voice Showing Evidence Of A Grudge. "I've Helped You Before Matthew" He Now Spoke In A More Cooperative Tone Of Voice. 

"I Helped You Take Down Amai-sa" He Explained As I Remembered That Faint Image Of Him That Appeared When I Fired The Blood Beam. "Yeah You Did I Remember... So You Want Some Kind Of Favour In Return?" I Asked With An Ounce Of Skepticism.

"Heh, You Read Me Way Too Easily... Let Me Take Full Control Of You Matthew And Together I'll Take These Disgusting Monster Girls Off Your Hands" He Chuckled Leaning His Hand Over To Me, His Palms Open And Surprisingly Welcoming.

However, Mentally I Strongly Disagreed Sure I Harboured Some Grudge Against Girls Because Of What They Did To Me.

Unlike This Other Version Of Me, I Found Peace And Love In The Form Of My Monster Girls. I Could Never Eradicate Them So I Shook My Head With A Disagreeing Expression. "Unfortunately, I Knew You Were Gonna Disagree To That" My Other Self Responded With An Ominous Tone.

He Then Titled His Head To The Side With A Cold Glare, I Suddenly Felt A Strong Force Pull On My Legs. As I Looked Down I Noticed Corpses Looking Up At Me But Not Just Any Corpses... My Corpses.

"What The Fuck!" I Yelled In Fear As I Tripped Falling Backwards, One Of These Corpses Was Missing Two Whole Legs And The Other Had A Piece Of A Rope Around His Neck With His Neck Contorted As He Stood Up Completely Braindead It Seemed. "Who Are They....?" I Gulped My Hairs Raising On End For The First Time In A Long Time I Was Genuinely Scared Of My Own Nightmare.

"There You... From Other Timelines, Who Ended There Lives Because Of The Same Very Things You Protect!" The More Alive Version Of Me Grabbed Hold Of My Neck Lifting Me Upwards As I Struggled To Breathe. 

"I'd Suggest Make Your Choice Eventually Or I Will Take You Over Myself, You Fool!" He Added Before Tensing Up His Fist And Delivering An Uppercut Towards My Face. In That Moment, I Thankfully I Woke Back In My Room Surrounded By My Monster Girls.

But That Sentence Still Lingered In My Mind "I Am You" Does Another Version Of Me Really Exist In My Mind? I Questioned Myself But I Couldn't Come Up With A Concrete Answer. At Least, He Was Gone For Now But I Knew He Wouldn't Be Gone For Good.

Just Then The Heavenly Sun Rose Illuminating The Room As The Next Day Had Begun....
