Eric Lustre's POV
"Where am I?" I thought, "If I rember correctly, I was beheaded by that filthy old fart, but for so reason I don't think I am dead for now."
But that's impossible! Right?' I questioned myself,
I definitely died because I still rember the scene where that oldie (Boss) directed a slash towards my neck with that sharp-looking katana, and my consciousness faded away as the painful feeling still lingered around my neck.
"I am dead," right? Nobody was here to answer .
"Then where am I?" Thinking about this, I imdiately looked around to confirm my surroundings.
Shook shook,
I failed, since I can't see anything in this dark place.
Here, I keep drifting like I am in water, but I can't change the direction in which I am drifting.
"I am confused." This whole situation was more confusing than finding the hideouts of Opps.
"Noo, Eric, let's think logically." I said to myself. I always have to think clearly in rough situations like these.
Fuu
Then,
First things first, I was definitely killed by that filthy old man. Then my consciousness faded away, so I am dead now, definitely, probably? Anyways.
Second thing, the mont I died, a missile connected to the device I planted inside my heart must have been activated the mont it stopped beating, which ans that the old man is dead and the whole city is destroyed.
So my revenge is complete.
Yes, the revenge I was hoping for and the revenge I wanted were done; I killed all of them.
Then why do you feel empty? Well, that's not important.
Now again, where am I?
Since I am dead This ans that this is so kind of afterlife, but why is this place so dark?
Ah, now I get it.
I committed so many sins in my previous life; this must be my punishnt.
"There is no heaven or hell for people like , I think."
I don't regret it, and if given another chance, I'd do the sa things over and over again.
The only thing I regret is that I was not able to live my youth like everyone else and that I found my death at the hands of that old fart.
"Well, it looks like that was my fate for killing so many people."
Sigh*
I sighed and just kept drifting with the flow, hopelessly.
...
Huh?
Flick flick
After what seed like a long ti, which seed to be endless, sothing like light flickered at a distance.
'What's That?' I thought. I tried to get closer to that light while flapping my hand here and there, but my efforts were futile. I couldn't move my body out of this weird flow of energy.
In the first place, I can't even see my own body because of the darkness that this place has.
"It's useless." My efforts bore no fruit here. Letting my body get limp, I felt that there was an anonymous force that was forcing to go near the light, like so suction cups.
"Whoah!" as I get close to the source of light.
I saw a self-illuminated light orb spinning at trendous speed. For so unknown reason, I have an ominous feeling about that orb because the closer I get to it, the more I feel a very sinister negative aura.
Silence.
Huh?
BOOM!!
Suddenly the orb of light stopped spinning, and imdiately it exploded, sending a powerful shockwave into the darkened place.
Zed Zed
Slowly, so kind of particle started gathering around the place where the orb previously was, and soon they began to spin in a spiral manner, like creating so kind Of black hole-like structure. Maybe a portal would be the exact description of what I was seeing.
Slurrrrrrrrrr,,
The portal soon began to suck everything inside it, including and the darkness itself. I tried my best to retaliate against it, but I failed miserably.
"Sh*t!" I exclaid. Right now, I feel pathetic.
When was the last ti I felt this pathetic? I thought while the black hole kept sucking inside it.
Yeah, it was then when everyone died,
when I wasn't able to save them. Even thinking about it makes cry.
Anyway, since I can't run from this portal, I tried to take a look inside the portal. As I got closer to it, I heard sothing.
"sen?"
"rohka gen."
"gsbg jdjop."
I heard so faint chatter, but I can't make sense of it. I can feel the anger in the tone of voice, even from this side of the portal.
Zoop
And then I was sucked into the black hole.
--------------------------------------------------------
Slap.
The mont I regained so composure, I was hit with sothing soft but hard across my cheek.
Huh?
The scenery in front of changed from a pitch-dark tunnel to a beautiful girl sitting on a chair opposite mine. She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
'A teenager?' I thought, why am I sitting with a teenager in my afterlife? I looked in front to get a good look at this girl.
She's beautiful. In short, this is my honest opinion.
The girl in front of was beautiful in every aspect. She had long, gorgeous silver hair and a small, round face that was too red for so reason. Maybe she's embarrassed or, um, angry.
She was so pretty no matter how you looked at her, but the most striking feature was her eyes, which were the sa shade as her hair.
For so reason, she was frowning; the girl was glaring at with her magical eyes, and with the fact that she had an expression like she was seeing the most hateful creature that can exist, I concluded that she hates , but why? I have no clue.
And the fact that I was slapped so hard on my right cheek was also true since it was throbbing like crazy, but I didn't do anything worthy of getting slapped by a girl.
I focused my mind on her.
I think she was saying sothing.
"Why do you keep following ? I already told you that I am not your fiance." She threw these words at . What does she an by fiance?
I didn't say anything, and I am sure that I have a good blank expression on my face. Seeing that I was not going to say anything, the girl continued her speech.
"-And our engagent is sothing our parents decided on their own." She took a pause in between the sentences, and her expression turned cold, and she said, "I refuse to accept their decision, and that-" The girl said that she was not going to accept her parents' decision, but I don't know what decision they made for her.
Before the girl could even complete her sentence, a strong rush of adrenaline was sent through my whole body to my brain, giving a severe seizure.
"Shit fu*k ahhaaaaaaaaaaa," I cursed. My head started to throb like crazy. The pain was several tis greater compared to the ti when I got my head smashed by an iron rod.
Thud.
I collapsed on the floor and started to roll on the floor because the pain was too great for to handle.
"haa haa" My breathing was getting ragged, and it was making sowhat anxious.
...
Then
, a few minutes after rolling on the floor, the pain subsided, and I was able to breathe normally.
I got up with the support of the chair I was sitting on before collapsing.
Everyone in the tavern was looking towards for obvious reasons, but the strange thing was that they looked like they were used to it.
"What?" The girl in front of looked surprised. Then she suddenly got up from her chair and said, "It looks like you've finally gone crazy. Well, I don't care about it, but do you understand what I told you?" She asked , is it sothing about not bothering her?
"?" I made a dumbfounded expression.
"I said, stop bothering and don't ever show your face again." She said, is she that bothered by ? I don't even know her.
"Fine." I said, I involuntarily spoke those words, but these are my honest thoughts.
"I knew you wouldn't accept--huh, what did you say?" She stopped what she was trying to say. Maybe she didn't hear .
"I said it's fine." I repeated the sa word.
"Are you kidding ?" The girl asked, and now she's getting on my nerves. Why do I have to explain myself to a teenage girl who slapped for no reason?
"No, I am not kidding. I am not going to bother you." I said, I think I should stay calm until I get a good grasp of the whole situation.
She gave a judgntal look for a split second, but quickly returned to her cold expression. "You are saying that you won't follow around and will stop irritating , right?" She is asking obvious things.
"Yeah." I kept my response short and sharp this ti; if she doesn't understand it, I am out of here.
Suddenly the color of her face went pale, like she just saw a ghost, and she froze just like a statue. She was acting like she saw so kind of ghost.
"Y-you okay?" I asked, shit! I almost stuttered there.
"Promise ." She said sothing that I failed to hear, so I asked her.
"What?" I asked.
"Promise that you won't trouble anymore." She said.
"Oh, that's fine. I promise you that I won't trouble you any more than this." I said these words.
Silence
After I finished answering her, there was silence.
After a few seconds, she suddenly started to walk out of the tavern, saying sothing like, "I don't believe you, and I know that you won't keep your word and behave like a disgusting creature again." The girl said, she, for so reason, was cursing .
"Truly despicable." After saying this, she walked out of my sight, and soon she was gone.
"Fuu." I took a deep breath and settled into the chair. That was too much to handle.
"Now again." I cald myself and
What the hell just happened!!
I scread inside my mind.
