Chapter 40: Another Lawrend (1/2)

Lawrend's consciousness entered his head, and he saw pictures. The dreams that he had in the past became more vivid. He saw bits and pieces of a life of a man in a different world. He still couldn't understand most of it, but all of it felt familiar to him for some reason.

'What is this?'

Lawrend thought to himself as he saw a huge sharp pointy building rise into the sky before disappearing high above in the atmosphere.

'A rocket.'

To his surprise, the words just came out of his mouth. Lawrend felt confused and amazed at the same time. This was the first time that this has happened to him.

The scene changed, and he saw a huge green guy running around and wreaking havoc in a city.

'What in the world…'

Lawrend was speechless. It looked like a goblin, but it was very big and muscular. A goblin couldn't possibly be that big.

'The Incredible *ulk.'

Once again, the answer came out of Lawrend's own mouth.

Then Lawrend saw many more things, and each time, he would answer it himself.

'Was that my past life?'

Lawrend questioned himself as the changing scenes ended. This time, a different scene played out. It was what happened earlier in the day.

He saw himself slowly devolving into madness as he watched the bloody and mutilated parts of the goblins fall all around him. But for some reason, Lawrend didn't feel anything. It was as if he was just a spectator watching a show.

'I feel nothing?'

The scene slowly faded away into darkness. Lawrend was bewildered. He saw himself getting traumatized and falling into madness, but he still felt nothing even though he should have reacted the same now.

'The world is much eviler than what you think it is.'

Lawrend heard his voice once again. And instead of it coming from his own mouth, it was coming from the darkness in front of him this time.

Another Lawrend walked out of the darkness. He looked exactly like him from head to toe: the same red hair and skinny body. There was an odd feeling coming from him that Lawrend couldn't put into words.

'Who are you!? Why do you look like me?!'

Lawrend shouted to the other Lawrend in front of him.

'Me? I'm someone who was promised to get a new life in this world. Instead, this happened.'

The other Lawrend had a frown on his face as he opened his arms outward to pertain that he was talking about this event right now.

'Promise? New life?'

Lawrend became confused by his words. It didn't make sense to him.

'You would know about it soon. Anyways, you now have a small part of me. One day…'

The other Lawrend spoke to him mysteriously before he faded away as he was finishing his words.

'Wait!'

Lawrend tried to claw at him and grab him, but he grabbed nothing. He wanted answers. He wanted to know what was happening to him. Why were these scenes showing up? Why was there another him that felt entirely unfamiliar?

Lawrend continued grabbing into the darkness before a faint voice called out to him. It slowly got louder and louder as Lawrend paid more attention to it.

”...-ng Master! Young Master!!”

Lawrend opened his eyes and saw Aleshia's face very close to his. He tried to sit up in reflex, and he hit her forehead.

”Ow!”

”Ahh!”

Lawrend and Aleshia clutched at their foreheads as the pain from bumping each other's forehead assaulted them. Lawrend rolled to the side and lay on his stomach as he held his forehead.
