If I hadn’t been in that headspace and I had gained that kind of power as a single, straight male in a place bombarded by women, who knows what I would’ve done.

“With that kind of power, who could stop me from getting what I wanted? You know I would never do something like that, but other Siders could be tempted to do what they want even if they know it’s wrong.”

Sarah could only sigh since she knew John had a valid point. When she became an immortal and gained a bit of strength, she went around helping people because she was a doctor in her past life.

Despite her newfound strength, she would always subconsciously back away from someone who was holding a knife because of how she died on Earth. It took years to get rid of that mentality.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

A small sound came from the entrance of the kitchen, causing both of them to turn their heads.

As Sarah was thinking about her past in this universe, Kelly had woken up and walked into the kitchen.

“Morning.”

After they greeted each other, John smiled and asked Kelly to sit down opposite them. When Kelly sat down and faced both John and Sarah, John began explaining things the best he could.

“We want to explain why we’re living out in the wilderness, how Isabel and the others came to live with you, and many other things; however, you need to promise not to tell anybody about this.”

Kelly folded her arms on the table in front of her and rested her chin on her hands. With slight hesitation, she nodded and John continued.

“This all happened years ago in the neighbouring kingdom. I guess the first thing I should explain is that there were five major families in that kingdom at the time.

“I was a part of one family and your mother was a part of another. Both of those families were enemies for a long time. There had been deaths on both sides and when me and your mother met, we fought each other. Obviously, I came out on top.”

Sarah punched John’s arm. “How long are you going to be proud of that?”

John faced Sarah and smiled. “For life.”

Turning back to Kelly, he spoke again. “After your mother went back to her family, the head of the family decided to arrange a marriage between her and a distant member of the family. Your mother didn’t like the man. In fact, she tortured him every time he tried talking to her.

“Your mother made a deal with the head of the family. If she could capture me, then the arranged marriage would be broken. So, she came after me.

“After we fought the second time, your mother stopped attacking me and asked for my help. I didn’t trust her at first, but after knowing what was going on, I helped her get away from her family.

“Both of us went to a friend’s family to stay. I helped your mother fake her death so her family wouldn’t go looking for her, but that only lasted for a while as the man who was supposed to marry her found out she was alive.

“He and his father came after us, and after a tough fight, we managed to drive them back to their families, but your mother was seriously injured. The injury left her at death’s door for a long time.

“Out of anger, I went to your mother’s family for revenge. I killed everyone connected to them, and I only came back to my senses after it was over.

“Our friend’s family was suspicious about how an entire family was killed, but without proof, they had to let it go.

“A while later, your mother recovered and I went to do some training. While I was out, representatives from the last two major families came to investigate what happened.

“They accused me of killing off one of the families and some other things as well. Thanks to your mother, and a very long discussion, they were convinced that an outsider was to blame.

“During that long discussion, your mother told one of the major families the truth about the other, causing their united front against us to collapse. It wasn’t long after that discussion that the major families found proof of what your mother said and a war broke out.

“The one family had committed numerous crimes against humanity under everyone’s noses for profit, knowledge, and a few other reasons. After the truth was revealed, the three major families banded together and went to war with the fourth to get rid of them once and for all.

“Your mother knows medicine, so she served as a doctor during the war. It didn’t last that long and by the time I came back, the war was almost over. I rushed to the fourth family and killed a few enemies of ours before it ended.

“When we went back to our friend’s family, the head of the family grew weary of our strength because we weren't really a part of the family, nor did we show any kind of loyalty towards him.

“To fix this, he tried to arrange a marriage between his daughter and me. As soon as we found out, we both left that family and travelled towards this kingdom to get away from everyone we knew.

“On the way here, we met Isabel, Logan, Evan, Nathan, Kyle, and Cody. They were prisoners of a bandit group and were forced to drink something that burned their throats, causing their voices to be lost forever.

“After rescuing them, and after we figured out a way to communicate with each other through hand signals, they agreed to serve us for a while. We initially refused, but they wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“When we arrived in this kingdom, the king knew who I was and personally came to recruit me. Not in the normal army, but in a special force to target the beasts around the land.

“That’s where I’ve been for the last few years—fighting beasts to push them away from villages on
