The Vagary of a Bastard   Chapter 4

Haruka woke up to the dimly lit room. The back of his head throbbed as the fragmented memories pounded his head repeatedly. Geez, whoever hit him must be a retarded goon. Not only his head hurts, but also a massive chunk on the back of his neck feels like a hot iron was pressed on it.He cracked open his eyes to scan his surroundings. The first thing he noticed was the stone ground. He could feel the moisture penetrate into his kimono. Haruka couldn't hide his disgust as he scurried into a dryer corner.

No amount of evidence nor findings were able to answer his unbearable questions. No claims were able to support his theory, but here he was. All flesh and bones, standing right in front of his reflection. Haruka squinted right at his own reflection. Golden blonde locks cascaded from his head down to the nape of his neck. Giant round violet orbs staring right back at him. He almost mistook his reflection to be sick due to the pale complexion Haruka snorted. It's been five years alread

He stared at the twinkling orbs above him; it felt like the universe was revolving around him. He watched the galaxies formed and eradicated from the celestial map.There was nothing, nowhere, and no one other than himself.He floated aimlessly in the weird dimension, spending all those years figuring out how to get out of that place, but alas, everything was left in vain. He couldn't lift his arms nor wiggle his

However, this just happened to be the last scenery he could look at.He never thought this was his last day. He even imagined that he would live for a century.
