Vanishing as if they never existed, Kalen felt and saw reality warp around him. The pressure left like it was never their and the divinities glory didn't influence him anymore.
Apart from that, Kalen now found himself in the temple of which he first arrived in. This time there was a human sized throne placed in front of those of the divinities.
The throne seemed to have being carved from a single slab of onyx black rock.
Etched on it were two circles. One held the symbol of a burning skeletal dragon, nine swords pointed and orbited it. The other was hollow and without a symbol.
Slowly but purposefully, Kalen walked closer to the thrown. A subtle feeling of excitement brewing within him. Reaching the perfect onyx throne, Kalen couldn't help admiring the beauty and perfect smoothness of the throne.
" Power beyond compare." He said sitting on it. He got comfortable on the sitter and suddenly his entire being shuddered. Pain followed. His body convulsed erratically as his skin fell off.
His muscles imploded and his organs melted like heated wax, his skeletal frame dried and crumbled to dust.
In a moments notice, Kalen was destroyed absolutely.
All happened before he could cry out, but he felt everything, even in inexistence. A loud boom echoed through the temple. The female statue of alabaster was raised her staff and banging it on the ground.
It continued till statues of various undead creatures, started emerging from the dark cellas. All guarding the cella it emerged from.
When ever cella had produced a guardian, the female statue seized hitting her staff against the ground. Then a pin sized orb appeared on where if Kalen was sitted there, the orb would be in his heart.
From that a new being was forged, purely human and happening almost instantly, it seemed Kalen had appeared there. His body was still, his eyes closed. He was created with a subtle change.
His physique and facial beauty were more refined, greater than that of a mundane human. He sat naked, a fact he learned once he opened his eyes.
Tempted to run, a force held him back. Kalen had to sit and watch as four undead statues went into their cellas, and emerged with four onyx boards each carrying an item.
They walked up to Kalen and stood before him, The first walked forward, its board containing a neatly folded carbon suit of armour.
Glimmering with a dark metallic glow, Kalen reached out his hand and touched it. It immediately stretched like a like creature and attached itself to his finger. From his finger, it stretched like a symbiotic organism and covered his body fully.
It was truly a carbon metallic armour, with a hooded cape attached to it, Kalen felt the suit was more potent than it looked. He hung the hood over his head.
The statue of what seemed to be a medieval armoured skeleton knight, stepped back and one of a zombie came forward. In its hands the board held a single item, a mask.
The forehead to the part below the eyes was inky black, the lower half was ivory white. A black straight vertical stripe divided the lower half in equal parts.
The narrow part of the cheeks glowed a mixture of greyish red with a black outline. Two crimson slits served as eyes and that summed up the physical description of the mask.
Being relatively light Kalen worried how it would protect his face. The zombie statue stepped back and a ghoul walked forward, with its board containing supernatural pistols, both black and red in hue.
Three times bigger than a mundane Desert eagle, it beared countless runes and mystical sigila. Surprisedly they weren't as heavy as he thought.
However the next surpassed his expectation. An armoured vampire came forward with a sheathed great sword. Being around seven feet in length, Kalen was a bit intimidated.
He reached for the dull greyish hilt and pulled on the sword. It slid down the board and plunged tip first into the floor. An echoed reverberated through the temple.
A huge indent appeared on the polished temple floor. Kalen gripped the blade's hilt trying to pull it out but all to but he couldn't even shift it a few millimeters, despite having moved it a few moments ago.
In a flash his vision was assaulted by a holographic panel, which looked like a small floating transparent television screen. A keyboard and an instruction to write his True Name emerged.
After thinking for a while, he typed the words, * Velstryx.*

Reality warped and Kalen saw himself staring back at him from his bathroom mirror. ' Impossible.' Kalen thought feeling his face. ' It was a dream. '
However the following events clarified his thoughts.
[ Superhuman Capabilities Received ]

' It's real.' The holographic screen soon vanished and Kalen was left to think. ' Activate Superhuman strength.' Immediately that thought was completed a prompt appeared before him.
[ Superhuman Strength Active ]
An explosive rush surged through his body filling him with refined power. In a moment he broke the ceramic bathroom sink, which he held firmly.
Kalen stared at his hands in shock, he had to test more. He threw a light punch at the wall, a boom echoed through the bathroom and a punch was left where fist hit.
He threw more constrained punched at the wall and several craters indented the tiled wall. Looking at the destruction he caused, he didn't notice blood dripping from his fists.
" Power of an enhanced." Kalen said awestruck. Then a realization dawned on him, if this was real why wasn't he in front of the male hostel.
Thinking deeply, he walked out of the bathroom and looked at the clock. The time read, 11:23. The same time as when he dozed of on his desk.
' I went back in time, that phony God is the ruler of Time time not resurrection.' The thought of being tricked bit him. However if he was back in time, it meant his killer was on his way.
