Jack's point of view...Being a young man of just twenty, my life is so much different from others. I am Jack, a programmer and a gamer. My devices are my world and these games and programs are everything to me. I spent all my time developing new systems and games, not to enjoy but to torture.Yes you heard it right...! I torture people especially those who are in love, I mean fake love. I covet everyone around me and desirous of those who babble about their relationships. I was in relationships but they didn't end up well. I broke up. Sometimes within a day.Because nothing is hidden from me and their faces come right before me when I track them. Disgusting...! No girl is worth trusting. Just because I was poor I was kept aloof, avoided like a plague and bullied everytime. I couldn't maintain girlfriends because I couldn't afford costly gifts for them, because I couldn't take them out for costly dinners. And they break up. Was that a reason for the breakup?Was that true love?
In the morning I was in a hurry to enter the class and accidentally bumped into Ronit."Hey... you hit me, dude," he said chewing gum, to avoid the smell of the cigarette he just smoked, his hand rested on my shoulder, stopping me from entering the classroom.Do I have to apologize to him, for just a bump?Ridiculous...!"Oh...sorry, don't mind, I was in a hurry", I actually did because he is a sucker and I don't want to get involved with him."That's fine," he said turning towards me, a disgusting grin spread across his face, "Well, where were you last night?"That question sucks, I know why it came, not because he wanted to know what I was doing, but because he want me to know about his exciting time with his girlfriend in the garden. Show off...!But I have an answer for that."Hmm... I think I was in the garden, last night?" I said and freed my shoulder from his grip. He was pissed off."What...!! Where...?"I laughed, I mean it, I hacked his device and know his activities. He wo
I was dead... being dead is truly hard... I don't know how long I slept, but I opened my eyes again, to find myself in a wonderland that was bright, so bright, brightness that it hurt my eyes...but completely empty...no one around... I looked at myself to check if my body was ok or did I have to fix it with some glue. but my body's visualization was alright. I tried touching myself, but I can't feel the touch...my hand passed through my body as if I was made of air... that was thrilling but fearful too...I vanished from the world... my degrees, my programs, and my achievements all are nullified, I was not satisfied, I shouted..."Is anyone here?" no answer, "Am I the only one here?" nothing... no sound..."Why?... why am I here?" I started crying louder... harder so that someone can hear me out, "You brought it to you, Jack"a bold voice echoed around me, " Who...?? who's that??" I asked in fright, "Please show yourself..!! what do you mean, I did it to myself, what did I do?
She explained everything and I was wondering how to stop this body owner, from sinning,If I am here currently, that means he did something in these twenty days and is what I have to control,well, that's manageable, this is so easy to be a test...I was happy that my first trial was so easy to handle, and became carefree. It was more than a treat for a boy like me, laying on a bed, a maid to serve, not that which we usually think, She was cooking for me, cleaning my body, and taking care of me the whole day, it feels good to live with an identity of a duke... I wish I could live a life like this as my second chance,It was afternoon, the sun was at its peak, and I was taking a nap, "My Lord, hurry please hide," she came running in, I was shocked, "What happened?"she was Panicked so much that her breath was not stable, "My lord, they are coming, with their destructive weapons and their soldiers" I was aghast...I wanted to take back what I just wished, what...!! do I have to f
After two days, we departed from that cottage to go to the capital, that maid with me was fine, she was quite talented in herbal medicine, I recovered too,It was a long journey, I miss my bike though,Riding a horse only looks good in some tomboy movies, but in real life, it was so tiresome, may that was the reason, why our ancestors discovered, other transports, She showed me the path and I followed her, It took us more than five days to reach the capital city, and it felt good, I can finally take rest, my legs were sore, but she was fine, maybe because I am not used to it, when we reached Edward's mansion, my eyes were stunned, "So this is where Dukes live," I thought,it was a huge mansion, with beautiful architecture, mind-blowing, I was welcomed grandly, as I returned after fighting a battle just now, of course, it wasn't me, and in this welcoming ceremony, I completely forgot about that thing, my ten days were already over and the remaining ten days, I wanted to spend enj
I closed my eyes to count...one... two...three...and when I opened my eyes, I was in...a room, it looks like a small one, but who I am in, I need to find it out...I got up from my bed and went outside, an old woman was coughing badly, that sound irritated me..."Bob..."called that old woman coughing vigorously, she wasn't able to talk, I wondered who is Bob, Is she calling me?I ran in and looked around, nothing more in that shabby house, there was a half-broken mirror in the corner, I went there to look at myself, my new look for the next twenty days...and the main thing was, I was worried that the face I hate the most shouldn't be mine..."no...!!, shit...!! shit..."It was...I fall on my knees, to plead." Please... not this... I can't be the one, I wanted to kill, I can't, he is disgusting.... no not this... I would prefer being a dog rather than this... please get me out..."but I was not the one to control this system, and he does not want me to have this as I please
I was dying to see who the hell was that boy who hit me for no reason, a boy came in from the door, I knew it, that was Jack, I was amazed to see him, "Hi, Jack," I said feeling so good seeing myself, but his glance was emitting disgust, anger, and hate, For some time I was swayed by the feeling but I got it back when I remembered how much I hate this boy, Bob."Are you here to get my money again?"he said resenting me but, it hurts... I wanted to tell him the whole story, but my mouth was glued, I can't say a word about it... I understood that the system doesn't support, "No, I am here, just to see you, I am sorry for what I did", I said that to mend the unnecessary hatred between us, but he disgustingly answered, 'no need, your sorry won't do good"he ran away and I thought to myself, "was I this hateful?"So I understood that I can't help it,Mother Sabrina brought some food and gave it to me, " I know my child, it must be so hard for you to survive, on your own, I can tak
I felt guilty, about how I hated Bob for no reason and destroyed his life by complaining about him.My head was hanging down in guilt, and a bold voice called me out of my darkness, "what did you learn this time my child?" I opened my eyes and found myself in that bright land again, "I messed it up again," I said in grief, He laughed loudly, making me disgust myself."I am a sinner, I admit, please stop this, I don't want this anymore" I shouted, pleading to him.A voice announcement from my system, a lady's voice disturbed me, "Player leveled up""What...? are you playing with me?" I inquired, He laughed again and I was annoyed, "You leveled up, kid?" I was confused, what system was it that even failure can level you up, then I took my chance, "so what power do I get this time?""hmm... it was not your failure, but you learned to regret it, didn't you?" though I don't want to admit it, I know he was right, I do regret my resentment against them, I kept my head down with m
