1 Prologue. (1/2)
”Achooo”
Hearing a sudden sneeze from behind I turned around.
Breathless.
The last thing I can remember was a single word. I was left truly breathless and stunned.
Looking around now; however, that scene that played through my mind can only leave me puzzled.
Sitting before me is an old man sipping some tea looking towards me like something disgusting he'd rather never see again in his life.
Silence.
We just stare at each other without voicing a single word.
After a while it started to feel really awkward so I decided to break the ice.
”I know I'm handsome but you don't need to stare so many daggers.”
”Tch.”
After the old man clicked his tongue and retorted back ”Handsome? Fudge your ugly duckling face! I've seen pigs more attractive than you.”
I am truly shocked, how can this old man not understand the greatness of I. My looks so majestic they could have countless ladies fall to their knees is worship. I must really give this rude old man a good talk about life.
The old man as if he saw through what I thought snorted to himself with scrunched up brows. ”What the hell is so good about this narcissistic mortal brat?”
”Narcissistic? Who is?” I can only ask with complete confusion in my eyes.
The old man seemingly decided to ignore my question while he asked ”you know you're dead right?”
”Dead? Who? Are you talking to yourself old man? Have you gone senile? Do you or I look dead to you? Do you need someone to change your diaper?”
This old man really seems to have a loose screw.
Veins began tto bulge on the old man's forehead as he then took deep breaths to try and calm himself down.
”If it wasn't for my daughter I'd definitely wipe your soul out of the cycle of reincarnation.”
”Brat you have three choices.”
”Number one I annihilate your soul, which would be the most preferable choice.”
”Number two you enter the cycle of reincarnation now and never come back.”
”...”
”I thought you said there were three choices.”
”I changed my mind, it's two now so just choose one.”
”But how can I reincarnate? I'm clearly not dead.”
”Says the moron who died because he was so shocked he forgot to breath.”
”...”
”What?”
I can only blink like an innocent child not understanding what he was just told.
”I said you're lower than a pig. At least a pig can remember how to breath.”
Now that I think about it, the last word I remember before seeing this old man was; breathless. After that, all of a sudden I was in front of this old man.
Now that I think further back though; when I turned around after hearing that sneeze, what came into my sight was an unmatched beauty that could have no equal.
A figure that would drive any man with senseless maddening dreams. A complexion so fair and refined it could bring shame to the heavens. Rippling eyes like a lake reflecting the starry sky. Merely looking into them would leave your heart racing at hundreds of miles per hour with your soul threatening to leave your body. Her lips were pouted slightly after having just sneezed. It was a picturesque scenery unlike any other I had ever seen before. It was enough to make me think my life was complete just having seen the woman before me. It was a sense of unknown fulfillment never felt before in this unrelenting and cruel world. The sun setting behind her truly made her look like a holy goddess that could not be defiled. If I had to say it. It would be love at first sight. I was left breathless.
Then we come back to the present situation.
”Damn it how dare you think such damned things about my daughter, come over here quickly so I can wipe those memories clean and toss you into the cycle of reincarnation!”
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide as if something terrible was about to happen.
”Quickly boy come over, come over, this senile old man was only joking. See? I have some candy here. Don't worry, it won't hurt you. Come take it and eat it quickly without any further delay.” For some reason the old man's gaze turned very warm towards me like he were seeing his own kin.
Inexplicably, I feel a great sense of dread as he held out a red and blue candy towards me.
