The scorching heat of the high noon illuminated the area around. Completely penetrating the ground surrounding me to the point that dry cracks have appeared.

Walking across the street, a listless man lazily moved his popsicle towards his mouth as he murmured.

"This sucks... "

Earlier in the morning, he was informed by his boss that he was now fired from the job due to several consecutive absences. But how could he be absent for consecutive days when he just attended the office yesterday?

The peculiarity of this event was enough for Michale to rack his mind out. As he thought of the endless possibilities about his expulsion. But he didn't found anything irrelevant.

Now, he held his slightly reddened shoulders in pain. His skin was extremely sensitive to the sun. If not for his current bad mood. He wouldn't even walk across the street in a trance like manner.

Since he lost his job. His girlfriend would definitely scold him upfront. Just thinking about his girlfriend's 50. caliber like mouth made his shudder in dread.

Michael raised his lifeless eyes as he glanced on the next intersection. Again, In a stupor like state. He walked across the intersection with his dizzy legs.

Just as he was in the middle of the street. A fierce howl came inside his ears. Which made his half-conscious mind awake.

"Bastard!!"

~Screechh!

Followed by a sound of brakes forcefully stopping the wheels. Michael's eyes widened. Before him was a twelve wheeler truck. The driver tried to frantically moved the vehicle from its current trajectory.

But it was all too late. The truck had already reached three meters away from Michael.

"Ah... Am I gonna die here?" Michael inwardly thought. His mind entered a dream like state, inside the dream. Countless experiences in his life flashed by. His first prom dance, his first date, his first sexy time. All of that, until now. Swiftly appeared inside his mind.

Lastly, the image of his mother biding him farewell on her deathbed appeared. She wore a beaming smile as she took a final glance to his son and said. "Live well..."

Before did he understood the words that he heard. Tears already rolled down his cheeks. He glanced over the speeding truck towards him. Now, It was less than two meters.

"I don't want to die..."

~Ding!!!

A high pitched sound akin to a glass breaking encircled around Michael. Making him forcefully close his eyes as he covered his ears.

"Ahh!! "

The sound lasted for thirty seconds before it dissipated. Michael opened his eyes.

There, he found himself inside a monotone world, deprived from any colors. His eyes widened as he noticed. The truck before him stopped on its tracks.

Looking above the sky. The flying birds was in a halt. The drop of water in mid-air stopped. Everything around him stopped.

He cannot even control his body. In this state, he was like a man frozen in a cold block of ice. He was completely immobile.

"Do you really wanna live?" A feminine attractive voice resounded. Michael wanted to turn his head towards the speaker, but this immobile state he was currently in prevented him to.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

~Thud, Thud, thud.

Soft steps of a shoe sounded, before the feminine speaker appeared before his line of sight. It was a thirteen year old young girl. Her outfit, was extremely peculiar.

She wore a green dress, with a green belt around her waist. Paired with a green shoe, and green long hair. Her complexion was as fair as snow, now. Her face beamed with a light cold smile. As if she was looking down an inferior.

The most eye catching one was her eyes. Her right eye was red, yet her left eye was green. Inside her pupil. A green pentacle shone with a green light.

Michael gulped down a mouthful of saliva. But in reality, he was unable to do it.

"Don't worry, I'll let you live, in the prerequisite that you will defeat the original holder of the Eyes."

The girl said in a low tone as she waved her right hand. With that, as if an enormous pressure weighing down of him was lifted. Michael once again regained his freedom of movement.

As he stuttered while saying. "Wh-wh-who are you?!" Michael retreated in a frightful manner. Inside this monotone world where everything was in a halt. This girl and Michael was the only people moving.

"You need not to know my name. Since in the future. You will understand, according to the wheel of destiny. You are my heir. The heir to the Eyes of Time." The girl grimly said. Her figure turned to a particle of green light as it shot towards Michael's right eye.

"AHHH!!!" Intense pain came from his right eye as Michael fell on the ground, veins popped on his head as he gritted his teeth. Trying to endure the intense pain. Yet, he was unable to.

Several green cracks appeared on the monotone world around him. As Michael endured the pain. A light familiar voice, resounded. "My heir, you're already dead. But due to my power to control time, I manipulated your timeline and saved you from your indisputable doom. "

"But I don't need your thanks. What I need is your help. Grow stronger, and defeat the Original owner of the Eyes."

"This world of yours is already doomed to disappear from the remnants of time. And so, you're the only survivor. "

"I'll send you into a new world, with hopes that you can accomplish your mission."

"Take care and farewell, my heir."

~DIINGG!

The cracks surrounding the monotone world shattered with a high pitched sound. The sound akin to a glass breaking drowned the good bye worlds of the earlier girl.

On the ground. Michael already lost consciousness. He already lost all signs of vital life.

But suddenly, his right eye opened. Inside his pupil. A pentacle of green emanated a green light. Enshrouding Michael with its illumination before distorting the scenery around him.

With that, the faithful day that Michael experienced ended.
