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?"I cried out"Who are you to punish them, Jack?" that voice added in." was that wrong, they were all betrayers, I just helped them reduce their sins" I explained my deeds,"How would you confirm that it was a sin?" but he was determined to make me wrong.I don't have anything to say,"Please show yourself, Are you God? or the karma? who are you?"" you may not be able to see... me..."that commanding voice continues..."If you wish to see me you have to pass a trial","trial...!! What trial? is it a game? or a system? I am ready for it...!!" I said confidently,"hmm.... let's go on your way, it will be a system, just like the one you created,"hmm, that's interesting,"ok, so... what should I do?" I was excited to hear the word system, after all, I am a programmer, a genius..."you are interested, I thought you would give up,"that was puzzling,"Why would I?"I heard a loud sound of laughter,"ha... ha... ha... ha..."Though I was threatened by that laughter, I wanted to know which ridicule system was that. That voice continued," It's simple, you just have to enter the bodies of different people down there""What...!!" I was shocked, ' just', is it that easy?"So are you giving it up?"I thought it through,"No, I just want to know more about it""you are braver than I thought, so this system consists of various levels, just like how your system was"I was curious, curious enough to know if this death of mine could be abolished."Is this a second chance for me? can I live in that body",I asked curiously, as I am familiar with the concept of reincarnation and rebirth from drama, movies, and novels, actually so many sources." No, it will not be a second chance, it will be a test every time""wait...!! every time... what does that mean?"that sound weird, there could be even more to it,it's better to confirm than be struck."you have to stay for twenty days in everybody you enter""What...! how many bodies should I have to enter?"amazed, afraid, puzzled I can't express myself. I was eagerly waiting for the answer, 2,4,6,10..!!how many?He laughed again,"until you find your answers"I was dumbfounded,"What do I have to do with that body?" I asked bizarrely," oh that's very simple, you just have to stop that body owner from cheating, from betraying their loved ones, this is what you used to do, didn't you?" it was said sarcastically,"But How? can I have superpowers?"I was excited, maybe, I'll be provided superpowers to control them,"no, you'll live their life for them, the betrayer's life,"I was disappointed,"What...!, then how could I change it""you have to sort it out by yourself, that is simple, Jack, you just have to, control yourself not to cheat on, which they can't, which you hated the most," he said." so are you ready? or you're giving up" I was confused, is it that simple, or will it be hard for me... but if don't try, how would I know?Finally, I thought it through, I decided that I need a chance, to prove myself right,It's just a matter of twenty days... will that be enough for me to stop them."Ok, but I am curious, who those people will be?" I asked him just to know, how my life will be once I agree,He laughed again... that was louder than the previous one."let's try it out, Jack...!!"That light got stronger, making me feel dizzy, and just in seconds, I was blacked out...!!MY FIRST TRIAL...I opened my eyes, and it was morning light that make my eyes sore, I was laying down in the sky, it was like a forest.. a deep forest, my arm was painful, but why?I remembered that accident, so am l back to my body?But to my surprise, I was hit by an arrow and my attire was like royal attire,I got up from there to know where I was and looked around, but I couldn't find any traces of people,the pain was real, my body was touchable... so it happened for real,my blood was oozing out of the wound and because of that, I felt dizzy again, but before I fell, I saw a beautiful young lady in a historical outfit come running to me,"My lord," she said in concern," I fainted in her arms".The next time I opened my eyes was in a small cottage, made of wood and dry grass. I saw around, a girl cooking something in the corner of that room, on a wood stove."hey ", I don't know her name, nor my name, I just want to ask her.She came running to me," My lord, you are awakened"my hand was better now and was tied with some herbs and a cloth over it, I asked hesitatingly"Who are you? and why are we here?"She was puzzled,"My lord, you didn't remember?"I can't say what my story was, but I just acted according to the play..."Maybe because I fainted just now, I don't remember anything, you can help me"She sat down as if showing respect to me,"lord you are a duke, I am your humble maid ""duke..!!!" I exclaimed out of shock, she stood up at once,"Did I say something wrong, please forgive me, please have mercy "I understood that I just scared her."no don't Panic, I just can't remember a thing about me, sit here, and tell me, who I am and how did I end up here?"I asked her to sit on the bed beside me but she insisted on sitting down."you are Duke Edward, you were injured in a battle you fought yesterday, I am your humble bath maid, I bought you here to hide you from your enemies,"Duke Edward, I heard it somewhere, but where...I was surprised to remember that I read it in my history text at my school, I am in history now, I got the game, and I asked her,"Do I have two wives, are they alive?"Her blue little eyes opened big, she seems to be surprised,"No your highness, you are married only once, and she is healthy and alive"so I am before that period when the incident happened,I read his story back then, he betrayed his pregnant wife and his betrayal made his wives die, but how I don't know exactly, as per I remember, he has two wives.He was no good, I hated him, that was the first time I resented someone.....But what I have to do in his body, it's said he was a characterless, a pervert, who slept randomly and caused his wife to commit suicide.If she is alive then I have to make sure that she'll not commit it, and that he doesn't do anything... well that's easy...Is it the first test... well I think I passed...but is it really that simple... ..............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
Sam's father took me to a dark room and searched for the switches to on the lights, but I think even he didn't know where that was, "you stay here I'll be right back with the lights" his dad left the room and I was curiously trying to see if I could find anything...I touched the wall curiously, he came in five minutes with his phone light, went to the switch, and pressed it, the whole room started glowing, I rolled my eyes in surprise, It was an enormous room with royal decoration and many huge portraits were hung on the wall, " See grandfather, he finally proved that he has your blood" his father started talking to one of the portraits, I stood there calmly observing him, he turned back and dragged me along, " come here, my son, meet your ancestors, it's a rule that until they don't act brave, we can't introduce our offspring to the ancestors, today you made me proud" I swallowed my spit in surprise, what kind of shit rule is this, but I'll leave after some days, what will he
When I opened my eyes, I was in the bright land, I slapped the floor with irritation, screaming and yelling, "I spent more than fifteen days on that game but....!! shit...!! It's all shit...now" I yelled, "I want to go back to that body, please... send me back" But this programmer was cruel than me, he didn't give me an answer, I sat there imagining what might have happened there, Did he break the system?will Sam be able to protect or revive the game?I didn't notice until when I was sitting there but it was long enough that my anger cooled, I heaved a big sigh, " can we talk?" I screamed, a grunting sound echoed all around, "hmm... so now you are back to normal," "hmm... much better, but can you show me what happened after that, I worked my ass out for fifteen days and nights, without being out for fun, please I'll skip my choice for the next trail" I begged him, " ok... remember that the next trial will be of my choice"That ice reflector was back again, it was so c
I realized that it can sense my movement, my presence, if that is the case, I won't be safe even if I go to the tents...What should I do now?Do I have to kill it? But who is my partner, and to whom my secrets will be revealed...Let's not think about that for now, I ran to the cliff to locate the correctthe spot where I can get the weapon, but that monster was behind me, I created it to be the most dreadful one, it has a gigantic figure with deep brownish colour, and its teeth are long and sharp as giving a threat just by watching them, the saliva oozing out from his mouth is acidic, creating a hole wherever it falls, Ooh...!!I created it to be dangerous enough that everyone who came fighting with it will definitely confess his or her secrets to avoid it, but never did I know that I would be facing it in my real life, When I was standing at the cliff I noticed that it was standing as well, I moved my hand and it did the same, Is it the same game as mine or I am being played b
