The Umbra World

Back To Life

A dead person could never start breathing again. Even with Superior medical skills, there was practically no way of bringing the dead back to life except that a vampires bites him and he wakes up being a vampire.

Despite that, Drake appeared calm and gleamed with confidence in his eyes. This surprised The head doctor as she watched attentively, she had never seen such confidence at such circumstance. At the same time the head doctor handed over the set of silver needles but using them on a dead person was a waste, she heaved.

As Drake ran his fingers across the silver needles, Drake had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and his face was brimming with confidence.

"Do you need my help? " The head doctors, Mrs Lydia asked softly, Though she knew it was going to be futile. Being in the medicine field for many years she had always be kind-hearted with a respectable reputation, but was selfish by nature. She instinctively knew Drake perhaps can do some magics.

Drake looked at her and asked her to hold Darwin's two pressure points where he pointed at.

The points he meant were GV20 which was situated on top of his head, while K11 was at the bottom of the foot. The GV20 is located at he highest place of the head where all yang meridaians meet. The K11 acupuncture point was solely at the foot where the liquids from the kidney met.

Even though Dr Lydia had her doubts she still did what she was asked to do and applied pressure at those two points. Moments ago she was looking for an escape route but now she finds herself immersed in the process.

Holding the needles in his hands, Drake suddenly took a deep breathe and inserted three needles simultaneously into Darwin's forehead.

Dr Lydia's eyes almost popped out of her socket when she saw that the the three needles had been placed accurately onto the three pressure points without any slightest mistake. Even after decades of practicing medicine and has alot of experience she had not by herself been able to place three needles at the same time precisely without mistakes at three pressure points. Now, how could this young man have such profound skills?

Despite that,even with the extraordinary capabilities, he couldn't bring the dead back to life! While Dr Lydia was deep in thoughts, Drake had already inserted twenty-five needles at different pressure point all over Darwin's body.

Samantha watched in amusement as she was dumbfounded upon how swift he is.

Dr Lydia's face turned from solemn to surprised when he saw the layout of the metal prickles. Until Drake had inserted the last needle,the look on Dr Lydia's face had been frozen completely.

It was at this moment that Darwin, who was supposed to be dead, let out a small breathe and his fingers twitched a little. Shocked, Dr Lydia recovered from her frozen state and stammered "what......what in god's name is ....is ...is this technique you had just applied?" She couldn't quite took an educative guess or seen anything as smooth as that thus she had to ask.

"It's the second chance technique!" Drake declared.

Samantha who was watching couldn't help but shift closer. Her had was waking up!

Dr Lydia dropped her knees saying 'Young man,pardon my ignorance and do forgive me if I have offended you Earlier?"

Samantha kept watching nervously, she didn't know much about what was happening.

"Drake is this good?" She asked herself after Dr Lydia explained what had just happened.

The second chance technique was capable of reviving even the dead and over centuries the technique had been lost.

Just when Drake was confounded by how Dr Lydia was astonished and excited. The other two doctors dropped on their knees with a loud thud.

'Miracle Doctor, please take us as your student's!" Three of them said in unison.

This reaction gave Samantha quite a fright,she was interrupted when coughs rang out in the room. Darwin was finally awake.

"DAD!!!!!" Samantha reacted quickly by trying to help him up but was held back by Drake who was feeling famished. 'He can't be in a sitting position now,I have to remove the silver needles first'

Holding Samantha's slender hands,he could feel how warm and gentle it felt, the sudden sensation felt like a jolt to him. The both locked eyes, as for Samantha she too also felt the warmth from his hands , Blushing,she remarked "This is all thanks to you!"

Drake frantically released Samantha's hand before collecting himself,he was drained of energy. With a wave of his fingers the silver needles disappeared and appeared on the silver box. Nobody had no idea how it happened.

"It's done!" Drake said to Samantha while returning the needles to Dr Lydia.

With what that had just happened,every reservations of doubt Samantha had for Drake were completely dispelled.

"Allow him to rest.. I'll be outside at the courtyard cultivating some energy, I'm depleted." Drake said. He motioned at Dr Lydia and the other colleague to stand up without giving them any reply concerning their request on making them his students.

Drake can't even entertain accepting then as his students without Shinigami's consent and they were mere mundanes.

The three Doctors were still kneeling down even after they were told to stand up, they grimaced in pain and still yelled and asked to be his students.

"Sorry,I can't accept anyone as my students but y'all can feel free to ask me any question, I'll be free to provide guidance of any sort!" Drake replied,he was moved by their sincerity. Naturally they felt delighted upon hearing that and as they stood up they felt a numbing pain on their knees and flick of Drake's hands some foggy stuff surrounded their knees and in seconds the pains were gone. They were astonished!

They didn't think they would have to witness ,they had only heard about the technique on some ancient scrolls.

"Dad,how do you feel?" Samantha inquired.

Darwin let out a slight smile, he was feeling absolutely well now!.

Moments ago he was near death and now he was back to the land of the living.

Dr Lydia gave Drake her ID card which contained her telephone number and address before she and her colleagues exited, it was then they realized one of them who said was pressed and went out to ease himself hasn't yet returned. Dr Lydia knew instinctively that he had left for home or the hospital due to fear of being caught in the crossfire if Darwin was not revived.

Fearing death, Darwin Didn't know from where he would start thanking Drake. Drake had saved him for good two times and to survive he was willing to give Drake all of what he desired.

Drake right from start did agreed to save him to curry a favour from him. He wanted to book an appointment with Mr Otumba and confront him about why he had taken charge of Wayland's property.

"Samantha,let your father rest some minutes before you relate everything to him and also Sir Darwin,you should be curious of what I want in return!"

" No, problem... I'm willing to help with you with anything......." Darwin said with his health fully restored.

With that heard Drake replied 'I'll be back in fifteen minutes time!'

He dashed out of the room and in no time the discussion Samantha was having with her father had gotten animated. She relayed How Drake used the Second chance technique to revive him. With the way she related it, Darwin could actually visualize what transpired up till how reputable Dr Lydia asked to be his student.

Darwin was flabbergasted, ranging from how Drake diagnosed his ailment,he was more than impressed.
