I'm Seth Francis Haro, my friends call me Haro. I'm a 17-year-old teenager and because my mom died when I was little, I had to live only with my dad.
"Walking to the way to the Roosevelt Franklin School"
I promised him a few years ago that when I will grow, I will make him and my late mom proud.
Making right at the corner.
Grandpa said that after my mom died, dad went through a lot of depression and never looked for someone else but when he looks into my blue eyes, he sees mom and that's why he works so hard for me to become someone, I won't let him down.
...
I raise my head.
...
I thought...
Suddenly stopped with a shocked face.
I thought that I am on the right road but I never imagine that my lover, Aleesha Ria Zhang would betray me with one of my best friends...
Aleesha Ria Zhang is kissing Roland Chen in the middle of the street!
She notices me and sends an evil smile.
"No, this isn't right... why?!" Speaking with a low voice
My hands are shaking and I can't see anymore.
I'm not a bad looking guy and I gave her all I had. I could say that I'm more handsome than this guy but why is it happening this to me? We never fight and she seems very happy yesterday.
No, this can't end like this. I need answers!
I cross the street with tears in my eyes...
It is a sunny day, I can hear birds and people coming by but wait.. what was I doing a moment ago? Why I can't remember?
What's is this sense of warmth that constantly encompasses me?
I think... I remember... I was crossing the street and suddenly...
"Forced brakes sounds"
Ah, yes. I think I'm gonna die. I'm so sorry father, I won't be able to keep my promise. I will visit mom soon.
I see people surrounding me with a blurry-red vision.
I can't breathe. All become black.
3 HOURS LATTER, Toykawa Hospital
In the meanwhile in front of the entrance to the operating room:
"It's my son. I want to see him now!"
"You can't, Mr. Masaki. He suffered grave injuries and the doctors are in operation. I promise that we will do whatever we can to save your sons life."
"Please, please... I will give you everything I have, just save my son.."
"Calm down Mr. Masaki, we don't need anything. It's our job."
Hm?! What happened? Where am I? I feel nothing. I see nothing. Only darkness.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
I tried to move, but nothing happened. I couldn't see or feel and the feeling of frustration and hopelessness was pushing me continually.
Is this what happens when you die? Anything we learned about was a lie?
"A mechanism is activating"
What's this sound?
In a second see myself surrounded by many multicolored lights which seem to draw a kind of pattern, but which disappears behind them very quickly.
"Starting systems for subject $%$%#@&*$^. Please wait."
Wtf?
"3... 2... 1... The system started successfully."
"Hello, Master!"
"Hey, who are you? What's this? Why are you calling me master?"
"Master, I am %$#%^&&&#@@#^@% $%@ and you're my master. I am here to guide you to your next life and help you through your adventures."
"Here is the soul void. Here, are all the lost souls who had a tragic and unfair death due to unexpected errors."
"I want to go back! My father is waiting for me, I have to!"
"Master, judging from your soul aura, you're being here for approximately 2.13 billion earth years. The planet which is called Earth is long gone."
The feeling of hopelessness felt heavier than anything I felt in my entire life. Nothing could compare to this. I remained silent a long time after I heard that.
After a while...
"Master? are you alright?"
I was silent on the outside, but inside...
"The expression of my ex-girlfriend appears in my mind"
You fucking bitch. I' gonna kill you, I swear I'm gonna kill you no matter what. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
My soul begins to react strangely, getting bigger, changing its color and taking strange shape then going to the initial state and so on. The system saw the unnatural phenomena and tried to stop it. My mind was black, hatred flowed through me.
"Overload detected! Damage detected! Commencing Auto-Repair!"
"3... 2... 1... ERROR"
"Critique damage detected! Commencing Auto-Reboot!"
"3... 2... 1... Success!"
"Commencing Auto-Repair!"
"3... 2... 1... Success! Critique damage stabilizing!"
The shape and color begin to take its original form.
"Master, I detected a strange aura within your soul. I suspect that this place multiply every feeling you may have and I'm afraid that you will lose your consciousness and become something else. I highly recommend for you to proceed with the steps needed to go to another world."
"I understand, let's begin."
"Understood! I will let you choose your kind of world you would like to reborn, as well as what skills you would like to born with."
In front of me appears a big window like one I've seen in the games I played before. Within this window appear the title " CHOOSE A WORLD" and below n earth-like worlds ready to be chosen.
"So I must choose one from these?" asking politely
"Yes, master! You can choose whatever world you like. For example, you can choose a demon world where people fight for their freedom and many of them die or a world where is peace everywhere and no one needs to work to live happily. There are many more than you could imagine."
The second world seem to be my kind of world, living happily without working...niceee but no! I mean, the reason why I love to be lazy is that rarely I had the chance to do so. If I were to be lazy every day I would get very bored. Since I have so many options I better think more about it. What if...
"System! Is there a world like I saw in anime with many kinds of species and with magic? I would like to go to one of them."
"Yes, Master! There are a few worlds that correspond to your request. I will list them for you. Please wait."
The worlds in the window are sliding so fast that I can't see anymore their shape and color. The sliding stopped.
"Here, Master! You may choose from these."
I look at a few of them and then I pick one.
"Now, please choose 3 skills that you want to be born with. There are endless possibilities to choose from. There are a few things master can't ask as the ability to go back in your original world, immortality or the ability to surpass $%$##%^#%@#$#@$ ."
"System, I observed that you want to say something like this a while ago but I can't hear or rather understand what you are saying. Why?"
"System has not enough authority."
That's strange...
"Ok, I understand."
What should I ask for? I need to think carefully because what I choose now will change everything.
"I want a skill that would let me became strong very fast."
"Granted! You have 2 more options."
Well, with that skill I could become strong by doing something.. if I go there and I'm already strong, I will get bored after a while. Not worth it.
"I want a skill that would let me learn very fast anything I want."
"Granted! You have one more option."
So, I will become stronger and I will be able to develop my knowledge, what else? Hmm...
"I want to be able to infuse in items different attributes as well as modifies its characteristics"
"Granted! Now we will proceed to the next step."
