Novel Bin 705 Chapter 702
As one would expect, Leon had mixed feelings after watching that life. He didn\'t know if his alternative version defeated the black-haired woman or not, but at the very least, his last years were nothing but happiness. Still, did that Leon deserves that happiness? Failing to protect his friends and his previous wives? Does the current Leon deserve a life like that when he messed up so many times and even killed hundreds of humans?
The answer for that question, Leon didn\'t have. Still, considering that the harvesters were mass murderers that have been slaughtering other living beings left and right and without being punished, perhaps, he at least has the right to do. However, much to Leon\'s surprise, even though his vision had darkened, the dream didn\'t end there.
"Is everyone ready?" Serena asked. "Good… are you sure about this, Mother?"
"Yes…" Ilyana said. "It is the right thing to do…"
Leon didn\'t like those words. By the look of things, everyone had decided to perform a shady ritual to revive him perhaps, but nothing happened. The darkness didn\'t dissipate, and Leon didn\'t wake up either. However, after a while, Leon opened his eyes and then saw himself in a familiar place… that airplane.
"Not again…" Leon sighed.
It looked like Ilyana wanted to show to Leon more than a life of an alternate version of himself. Although that a bit useful since Leon could obtain status points without doing anything and just absorbing the memories and knowledge of those versions, he didn\'t want to see his other versions\' lives. Why? Because if they had better lives than him, Leon would feel jealous, and if they somehow had worse lives, he would feel depressed.
"Well, at least this explains why Ilyana has so many spells," Leon shrugged. "If she can see the lives of other people in parallel universes, she can learn virtually all possible skills. In any case… why did she create spirits based on the kids of another version of himself? Come to think of it… did she feel embarrassed before because, in another universe, we lived together? That is kind of creepy…"
Regardless, things didn\'t repeat in the life of the next Leon. Some things that happened with the first one happened with the second. A dragon didn\'t attack the airplane. Leon arrived home and received a warm welcome from his family… but then the next day, Leon\'s parents didn\'t die when a dragon burned down their house. Somehow, the morning when the dragons appeared, Leon, Amanda, and their parents went to do some shopping.
However, as if fate was laughing at Leon, the supermarket they were in got overrun by a horde of velociraptors. Without weapons to use and fight, Leon saw helplessly his parents being eaten by monsters, and this time, Amanda died along with them…
"Shit… shit!" Leon bit his lips in annoyance as strongly as he could, but he didn\'t feel anything since he was in a non-physical form.
That was one of the reasons why Leon didn\'t want to watch something like the life of another himself. In the end, he would just watch the same thing over and over again, the apocalypse, the end of the world where people die while being eater by fucking monsters that came out straight of fantasy stories. It was sickening and unnerving…
With those changes, that Leon didn\'t have the same start as the previous one. That Leon didn\'t find Hector and thus left Phoenix alone and wandered like that for quite a while. After running away from monsters for months, that Leon finally found some equipment to protect himself and fight back. However, he wasn\'t particularly athletic, so he barely had the strength to fight for more than a few monsters every day. Things only began to change when that Leon found a magic bow that granted him the power to shoot fire arrows. Such a weapon was uncommon, and since its firepower was deadly, Leon began to get famous, and then he finally joined a group of survivors… but calling that a gang was more appropriate, though since half of the members were criminals of some sort.

"Crap… this time, this Leon will turn into a no-good asshole," Leon sighed. "Well, I\'m not much of a virtuous person, but I\'m tired of being surrounded by darkness and misfortune."
Although that Leon didn\'t become an asshole who would do anything that he wants to satisfy himself, he didn\'t stop his teammates from doing exactly that. Instead of worrying about others, that Leon only did everything he could to become stronger
"I guess this one became a power-hungry semi-asshole…" Leon sighed. "Can��t say I would do differently after seeing my whole family being devoured by dinosaurs…"
Although the existence of monsters was enough to make that Leon mad, it wouldn\'t make him as furious as the previous Leon because the real enemy wasn\'t an intelligent entity. So, Leon couldn\'t help but wonder what would happen in the long run. Although the end of the world was the perfect playground for assholes, he was fully aware that idiots wouldn\'t survive long there.
In any case, as if he was destined to do that or something, that Leon changed his fighting style when he found a few tomes after clearing a certain dungeon. Upon learning how to cast Frozen Lance and Thunder Bullet, that Leon abandoned the bow and truly became a mage.
