The Fish That Won

A humble man lived his life helping people when he got old people asked him to retire but he didn't because he wanted to help people but when an illness struck him, he feared that people would learn about his secret, this humble man didn't want to cause problems for people. So he retired and took a vacation to a faraway land, It was a land where lakes froze every season. He rented a small wooden cabin and bought a fishing set, he was doing the things on his bucket list. One of them was to fish and the other was to grow a mighty beard, he did both of them.

His days were limited but this didn't prevent him from going fishing, he wore his gray snow jacket and went outside, there was a secret lake that was full of fishes but nobody knew of the lake except for the old man, he cut a small part of the frozen lake and waited for a fish.

After waiting for ten minutes, a fish caught the bait. He pulled the rod but the fish seemed to be stronger than this old man. The fish won again, the old man kept trying until his body gave out, he wanted to try one more time and he was able to pull the fish, It was a huge fish that was longer than his leg, the fish was still alive and wanted to escape, the old man was about to kill the fish but then he felt a pain in his heart.

So my time is over.

The old man picked up the fish with his last strength and started to walk to the frozen lake.

"I might die here but you aren't dying here." But then the old man slipped, he hit the ice and it broke, he fell into the cold lake along with the fish, after seeing the fish swim away he closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" I found myself lying near the lake, I was surprised for a second because I thought I had died but I was also happy because no one wants to die, I got up and realized my clothes were completely dry, I was now confused.

Did I fall asleep?

I looked around for my stuff but I couldn't see my stuff anywhere near the lake.  

I don't like this feeling, I should go back to the cabin.

I went into the woods but after walking for hours I realized that I was lost, this was really weird for a man like me, I was trained for this kind of thing and I had my compass with me though that didn't work, I started to feel hungry, thirsty and cold I needed to find a place to hide and I found it.

An old wooden cabin, I was happy for a moment because I saw the light of a fire inside, I walked to the door and as I was about to knock it I saw a cross that was carved into the wooden door.

A wooden cross? The last time I saw a mark carved into a door, it turned out to be an infected place. I need to be cautious.

I covered my mouth with my right hand and slowly opened the door. I saw a faint fire inside the fireplace, I looked around for stuff but all I could see was the couch that was in front of the fireplace, firewoods, the table with two chairs and a closed room that also had a cross mark on it, I opened the door and saw a woman looking at me from her bed, her eyes were empty like a corpse they weren't looking at me they were looking at the fireplace, I walked to her but there was something weird about her.

She is breathing but white hair and red eyes? It is my first time seeing something like this. There is ice on her face, she must be freezing.

I picked her up from her bed and brought her to the couch, I threw some firewood inside the fireplace, I was also cold and as I was throwing the last firewood, something popped up in front of me.

[Attention: You Have been infected With The XxxxX Virus But Your Body Is Immune]

This scared the shit out of me, I jumped like a cat and yelled.

"Fuck! What the fuck!" My voice got her attention, she started to move her lips but nothing came out of it, I wanted to hear what she was saying so I got near her and then a blinding light came out of her eyes that caused me to close my eyes and when I opened my eyes.

 I was watching a little girl, this little girl had lost his father, mother, and brothers when she was young, her fiancee betrayed her to take the throne but she was able to regain the throne with the help of the military, after that she ruled with fear and when she got sick everyone betrayed her and tossed her in a faraway cabin. I found myself lying on the floor.

I-It was like watching a documentary, what was that?! But if everything I saw was true and I didn't even see all of it, I am no longer in my world and this young girl is a queen.

And then another thing popped right in front of me.

[You Have Been Selected As The Regent-King of The Kingdom of Foresn, Protector of Foresn, Temporary Acting Head of The Royal Family von Glorn-Opret, The Temporary Acting Marshall of The Foresn Military By The Queen of Foresn]

[Do You Wish To Accept These Titles]

My heart can't bear to watch this young girl die in vain, I will help you.

"I accept."

[Harold Kingston Is The Regent-King of The Kingdom of Foresn, Protector of Foresn, Temporary Acting Head of The Royal Family von Glorn-Opret, The Temporary Acting Marshall of The Foresn Military]
