I Became A Zompirewolf



Ashton and his companions stood on the outskirts of what had once been a barren and desolate land. The transformation before them was nothing short of astounding. 

The landscape had shifted from a wasteland to a bustling construction site, where towering skyscrapers and intricate structures were being raised with incredible speed.

"Welcome to New Livania," Ava announced with a smile, her eyes shining with pride. "This is our most advanced territory on the planet."

Ashton's jaw dropped in amazement as he took in the sight before him. The once empty expanse was now a thriving city, teeming with activity. 

Hovering vehicles glided through the air while holographic displays adorned the sides of buildings, showcasing vibrant advertisements and information. The hum of machinery and the chatter of workers filled the air, creating a symphony of progress.

"Wow," Ashton exclaimed, his voice filled with awe. "I can't believe this is the same place."

Ava chuckled, her gaze warm as she observed her son's reaction. "It's amazing what a little trade and fame can achieve, right? And it's all thanks to you."

Flintmace and Vulcan exchanged impressed glances. Although it was Flintmace's first time on Earth, Vulcan had been there before and was surprised by the progress the earthlings had made. 

As for the twins, they were equally amazed, their eyes wide with wonder. They'd have never expected to see such advanced technology being used on Earth. Hell, they even had an automated energy reconstruction system in place. 

Ava led them through the bustling streets, explaining the various technological advancements implemented in New Livania. 

Automated systems managed waste disposal and energy distribution, while advanced materials and sustainable practices were used in construction to build structures that could last any natural or artificial calamity. 

"Every inch of this city has been designed to enhance the quality of life for its residents," Ava explained. "We've integrated the latest medical care, education, and entertainment advancements. In the last month alone, we have managed to eradicate several diseases plaguing the planet for god knows how long."

As they walked, Ashton couldn't help but feel a swell of pride for his mother and their people. He knew advancements were being made thanks to the territory management system, but seeing it firsthand was a different experience. 

The once barren land had become a thriving metropolis, symbolising resilience and determination. Although Ashton might not show it, Livan, called New Livania now, had always had a close spot in his heart as it was the first territory he ever got to call his own. 

"Come, there's a lot to see on our way to the hospital," Ava said, guiding them through the bustling streets. 

They entered a bustling marketplace, where holographic displays showcased various products. 

Ava stopped at a vendor, engaging in a friendly conversation with the owner. Ashton took a moment to soak in the atmosphere, the city's vibrant energy enveloping him.

"Isn't it incredible?" Ava asked, her gaze fixed on the bustling activity around them.

"It's beyond anything I could have imagined," Ashton replied, clearly surprised by the sudden transformation of the region. 

Ava smiled, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of joy and satisfaction. "We've come a long way, my son. And we're just getting started."

As they walked the streets, Ashton saw a lot of familiar faces. From Virgil to Baiter, all of his old comrades were there, and although they looked different now, they were the same in a way. 

And then, he came across someone he never wanted to see the face of... the mistress and her equally bitch-looking clone, Nora. But that wasn't all; Ricochet was stuck between them.

"So, y'all are a throuple now?" Ashton rolled his eyes before pointing at Ricochet. "And you, I sent you here to overlook the management and ensure everything goes smoothly, not to create your love story. Why was it my mother who had to travel to welcome us?"

"R-Reaper! What a pleasant surprise!" Ricochet laughed nervously and immediately rushed to greet his 'Captain'. "I had no idea-"

"Yeah, yeah, cut the chase," Ashton held his hand up as he wasn't in the mood to hug anyone, especially a man. "You still need to answer-"

"Cut him some slack, son," Ava mumbled. "He has always been hard at work. You can talk business later; let's get the twins to the hospital first."

"Yeah, I can see that..." Ashton mumbled before signalling to Rico that they'll have a talk later. 

Next, Ava led them through the city's central plaza, where holographic sculptures depicted the history and transformation of the region. But the biggest holographic structure was of Ashton, much to his embarrassment. 

Citizens went about their business, interacting with holographic interfaces and enjoying the place.

"Really, Ma?" Ashton mumbled while shaking his head. 

He could already feel Vulcan's and Flintmace's gaze on him. They were much greater than him, and even then, they didn't have some shit like a holographic statue made for them. 

"Hey, don't blame me!" Ava threw her hands as if surrendering. "The people wanted a way to remember their hero and staged a protest once we removed your other statue. Now you tell me, what were we supposed to do?"

Flintmace chuckled, shaking his head. "Well, I guess it's a fitting tribute to the guy who's been shaking up the galaxy."

"This is ridiculous. I mean, come on, it's just me." Ashton rolled his eyes but couldn't help but crack a smile. 

"You've become a symbol of hope and change for these people," Vulcan mumbled. "Instead of being embarrassed, you should be proud that your people admire you. Be a source of inspiration for them and a beacon of strength."

Just then, a nearby group of children noticed Ashton and excitedly pointed at the holographic statue. "Look, it's the hero who saved New Livania!"

Ashton's embarrassment was momentarily forgotten as he saw the children's faces light up with excitement. He gave them a small wave, understanding the meaning behind Vulcan's words. 

"Well... I guess it's not that bad," he mumbled as they headed towards the final spot... the hospital.
