I Lu Chen am born from a family of Origami Masters. Year 20XX.
The Head of this household is always a grandmaster level origami master.
I Lu Chen was born in this family as the eldest son. But even with the status of eldest son. I will never gain the status of Head of the household. I will never be able to get this status. Nor did I ever yearn of the status.
Reason being...
I am a dead man...
A person that will soon be dead to be more precise.
It has to do with my bodies condition. I was born with a body of death. I currently have only an hour left to live and I have learned to cherish the time I have left and to not argue with the elders in my family.
From the age of 3 till the age of 16, I have studied the art of origami. I have far surpassed the level the current head of the family is at.
But this body of mine is immpossible to cure.
Yes, I cannot cure this cursed body of mine.
The doom to die at the age of 16 was destined from the start of this life of mine.
Yes, I am destined to die at midnight tonight.
Even so I have no regrets, as i have finished it!
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
The last Origami. The last I will ever make in this life.
The art that I have studied for the past 16 years have been used to its fullest potential.
I have created the most beautiful piece of this lifetime of mine.
70,000 pieces of paper folded into a intercepting piece of art.
This Masterpiece of mine is 8 meters tall, 16 meters wide.
I have now finished my lifes final masterpiece.
I call it the IMMORTAL PHOENIX!
For this piece, I have used all my insight, all my understandings, all of my obsession and will also use every ounce of my soul.
I wish to become like this Phoenix one day after all.
Free... with nothing that can hold me down. Anything that tries would be burnt to ashes.
Now it is time to finish this piece...
I drag the gasoline that I brought with me inside.
60 gallons of gasoline was slowly dragged in and slowly I poured this liquid apon this ivory floor. Bit by bit it covers the floor.
After finishing this backbreaking task, I climb to the top of my phoenix and take out the lighter that I kept within my pocket.
With a click the dangerous fie starts burning. I was told before to never play with fire as you will get burned by the very fire you play with. The karma... But this doesn't really matter anymore.
I drop the lighter.
Surrounding my phoenix in a sea of flames.
Then I heared the loud Ring. The clock strike midnight and i am engulfed into the sea of flames.
The fire burns a crimsion red.
"I am at the end of my life yet my soul is burning stronger than ever. I wonder why that is..."
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, dirt to dirt, from mother earth I was born, and there that I will return."
I am slowly burnt to ashes along with my Immortal Phoenix.
...
Only to be reborn along with my Immortal Phoenix.
