Pale Flesh
Chapter 1
Pilot Chapter
Aiden Knight was a rare genius. He had achieved everything he ever dreamt of. Even though he grew up with nothing, he made himself billions with just his sheer tenacity. He had always liked having total control, so he made sure he had total control of his multi-billion-dollar company. Now greedy people wanted what he built. And they would go to extreme lengths to get it.
Aiden went to bed at night, earlier than he would normally. He didn't know why, but he felt very dizzy throughout the day. He attributed it to overwork, so he gave in and slept. He had no idea that his life was about to change forever.
He started to stir awake, his eyes beginning to open. He still felt groggy, though. And then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He tried to cry out, but he couldn't. No sound came out. He tried to move, but he couldn't. He heard a voice say, "It's almost done sir." It seemed the voice was speaking to a phone.
Aiden's eyes began to clear, and he saw the barrel of a shotgun pointing right at his face. "Sleep well, Mr. Knight," he heard. The next thing he knew, his head exploded in a shower of blood, brains, and bone fragments as a shotgun blast tore through his skull.
Everything faded to black.
For a moment, Aiden was disoriented, his mind reeling from the sudden and violent trauma. But then he realized something strange was happening. Despite the fact that his head had been blown apart, he was still conscious, still aware of his surroundings.
He looked down at his body and saw that it was slumped over, lifeless, on the floor. But he wasn't in his body anymore. It was like he was floating above it, looking down at himself from a distance.
Suddenly, a strange sensation washed over him, and he felt his soul being drawn back into his body. It was like a powerful force was pulling him back, and he had no choice but to go along with it.
As his soul re-entered his body, Aiden felt a surge of energy rush through him. It was like he was being reborn, revitalized by some unknown force. And then, something even more incredible happened. His head began to regenerate.
At first, Aiden couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was like something out of a horror movie. But as he watched, his shattered skull began to knit itself back together, piece by piece. The bones fused together, the flesh and skin grew back, and within seconds, his head was fully restored.
Aiden stood up, still in shock from what had just happened. He looked around the room, trying to make sense of it all. And that's when he noticed a strange symbol etched into the wall. It looked like some kind of ancient rune, a symbol of power and magic.
As he stared at the symbol, Aiden felt another surge of energy wash over him, and he realized that he had awakened some kind of Bloodline system. He didn't know what it meant or what it would do, but he knew that his life would never be the same again. Aiden had always believed that he was in control of his life, but now he realized that he was just a pawn in a game he didn't even know was being played. And he was about to find out just how high the stakes really were.
