'Transmigration' A classic troupe in modern-fantasy stories in where people are sent to another world through a series of incidents that led to them losing their lives with the most popular or rather common way of being transmigrated is through getting run over by a truck or as the internet would like to call Truck-kun.
When I first encountered this genre while reading popular works in a certain green app with a big 'W' logo. I found it interesting to read as the concept of waking up in another person's body is fresh to me compared to the classic waking up in another world as a younger version of myself, and through reading this transmigration stories I found comfort allowing me to escape the harsh reality that I desperately want to avoid.
I liked to fantasize that "They" were the ones in the stories im reading, I liked to fantasize that after "They" died they were somehow transmigrated into another world A world where they can start anew and live their life according to their wishes,fall in love and have a family together.
I wanted to fantasize that "they" were living happily away from all the malice and their harsh toxic environment, I liked to fantasize that if "they" were alive would this be the kind of future they will experience?
I woke up from my day dream as I entered the court room ready to enact my revenge against the one who took "Them" away from me, He whom I loathe with all my heart for taking "Him" away from me and His arrogant b*tch of a daughter who I wanted nothing more than to kill and torture for taking "Her" away from us.
I stand here inside the court to inact my 15 year long grudge against them, I stand here with "Their" families by my side in order to settle their decade old grief that they experieced for the injustice that their deceased children had faced.
Ever since the day "They" died I burried myself in my studies, reading all sorts of information,attended the military before becoming a lawyer, if they bribe the lawyer sabotage the case of "Her" death then I shall simply become one myself and If they bribe the judge to dismiss the case due to the lack of evidence then I shall simply need to provide indisputable evidence of their crime. What if there were no evidence? Then I shall simply need to create one, in order to bring those bastards down I even learned how to stalk people from professional investigators and how to forge evidences from professionals in the dark market.
I spent my entire life with the only goal in my mind being "Bring Them To Justice". I spent 15 long years preparing for this exact moment, I gathered and created fake evidences of their crimes over than span of 6 years and now my hardwork has borne fruits and i am here to harvest the fruits of my labor.
-BAM!
And with a loud bang a hammer echoed throughout the entire room as the judge gave his final verdict to the defendants, Guilty for the crimes that they had commited sending the old man into the prison for 15 years on the accounts of embezzlement of government funds and obstruction of justice on the acccounts of helping his daughter get away with the act of murder.And sentencing his daughter to a life in prison on the accounts of 1st-Degree Murder.
I'm not kinky or anything but seeing their despairing looks as their skin starts to turn ashen white while the b*tch of a daughter starts to sing a beautiful symphony of wails and cries as her good for nothing father broke out in a cold sweat delighted me to the point where I felt ecstasy overwhelm me.
And thus the trial reached it's conclusion ending my more than a decade long grudge against them.
Quite frankly the insidius thought of killing them had already flashed acrossed my mind multiple times already but after much deliberation I concluded that death is an easy way out for bastards like them which is why I took my sweet time gathering enough evidence to put them behind the bars for life.

"Well now that I've achieved my goal what should i do next?" I pondered for a while before I heard an all familiar growl.
-GROWL
"Guess that answers my question." I spoke with a wry smile.
It has already been 2 weeks since the trial had happened, I'm happy that after 15 long ardous years of fighting for "Their" justice I finally managed to achieve it but also at the same time I feel empty anymore...
I don't really have the will to live anymore but I refuse to die such a boring and anti-climatic way, I spent years training and fighting for "Them" before i finally managed to clench victory and after achieving all of that I would just end my life uselessly by hanging on a rope? I refuse.
after heaving a mouthful of sigh I conluded that my pride that i had grown over the years refused to let me die in such a disgraceful way and with that in mind I went to the nearby convenience store and grabbed some food to eat.
"That will be a total of 11.99$" The convenience store clerk unenthusiastically spoke after scanning the food pack that I bought.
After handing out a 20$ bill, the clerk lazily did his work and handed me the reciept.
"Well I guess that takes care of dinner..." I murmured under my breath.
Looking at the cloudy blue sky I reminisced about the past when "we" were still in highschool going out together as a trio,helping "Him" confess to "Her", laughing till our stomach's hurt and simply enjoying our youth.
"Happy thoughts! Happy thoughts..." I yelled while slapping my cheeks with the palm of my hands.
But how can I ever be happy when I'm all alone? How can I be happy when everything I do reminds me of "Our" time together...
How can you leave me all alone?
My heart aches, emotions diluted and the world I live in is now a dull shade of grey. There isn't a passing moment in where I haven't thought of them, people say that time heals everything but i beg to differ.
Time heals nothing, it only helps us get used to the pain. But the pain of losing them is something I can never get used to, everytime I dream of "them" my heart bleeds and yet at the same time it is the only moment i could ever be happy.
Atleast inside my dreams I could be with them once again, atleast in my dreams they are alive and atleast in my dreams we are happy.
I stared blankly at the sky, having my inner monologue when I noticed a speeding car breaking the traffic laws going 80mph ignoring the red light on the traffic lights.
At first I simply stopped at the sidewalk waiting for the speeding car to pass by when I noticed a couple of highschool kids walking across the pedestrian lane ignorant of the speeding car approaching them.
I tried to yell at them to inform them about the speeding car but they seemed to be lost in their own little world as if a hue of pink were surrounding them.
"Damn it! It's fine to flirt and all but they should atleast be aware of their surroundings." I silently cursed at them as my body began to move on it's own running towards them in hopes of making it in time to push them away from danger.
Seeing the fast approaching car I despaired thinking I wouldn't make it in time, but when I looked at them I couldn't help but overlap their faces with "theirs".
"No not again, I won't lose "them" a second time." Gritting my teeth and steeling my resolve, I pounced pushing them away from the path of the car saving them in the nick of time.
I sighed a breath of relief shortly before I found myself flying in the air a few meters above the ground.
I stayed airborne for a couple of seconds before hitting the ground hard and ragdolling multiple times on the concrete road, I was in a world of pain and I felt lady death breathing down my neck.
But instead of feeling fear I welcomed it with open hands, I felt relief at the thought that I would meet "them" again in the afterlife if there ever was one.
I stared at the beautiful blue sky as my vision slowly started to dim but nonetheless I smiled and It was probably the biggest smile I had ever made in the past 15 years of my life before taking my final breathe And at the age of 33, Seth finally found solace in the cold embrace of lady Death... or atleast that's what should've normally happened.
But fate had other plans in store for him as an unknown god intervened in his cycle of life and took his soul away.
This will mark the end of a journey and the start of a new one.
