*Two men dragging a body across a field*
*A crowd chanting "KILL HIM, KILL HIM, KILL HIM"*
*The two men then dragging the person onto a scene, on a chair*
-If it wasn't for orders, I would have cut you into pieces already!
-Too bad you're too weak to go against your daddy.
-SHUT IT *SLAP*. OKAY! NO MORE NOISE. ON ORDER FROM OUR GREAT MASTER, I PRESENT TO YOU, AFTER BEING WANTED FOR FIVE YEARS, VOID!
-*The crowd screaming*
-Alright alright!. Please be quiet! So, Void, you see how they are happy to know that you'll be dead soon ?
-I actually don't care, to be honest.
-You're still the same one, even after all the people you made suffer. Too bad you surrendered, I would have liked to pierce you with my harpoon and see you run for your life.
-I like destroying expectations.
-Pff, your tone is sickening. You're dead anyway.
-I guess.
-To your attention, ladies and gentlemen, before your eyes, I ask for your dear beheader here to prepare the blade!
Any last words ?
-I want to tell a story.
-Do the people accept the request??
-*the crowd doubtful*
-Okay! Let's consider it a yes for now, if there's something fishy, I'll slice him myself!
Start talking. I'll let you live a little bit. Let's just say, I like you in that pitiful state.
-Okay, so, my name is Void. And I'll tell you how I ended up here. I'll start form when I was still in school.
From what I remember, I was sixteen or seventeen. I used to go to at school, normal. I wasn't really fond of my life, but since my parents treated me well, i couldn't complain. I had a few friends with whom i had good memories.
Then someday, I met a girl, let's call her " the C ". She was the girl i liked at the time. Just keep that in mind.
What really was the starting point was after my friend helped me have her number. I was happy to talk to her everyday. I was even her confidan-
-*Member of the crowd screaming: So if I understand clearly, you burnt almost half of our town because of a girl ??? That's ridiculous, kill him already!*
-Calm down. It's his final wish. Let him talk.
-Discipline your people.
So, I was saying:
I was her confidant, we always managed to talk properly. We talked for something of a year beforei took her number, and half a year after i took it. She was even part of my friend group. I really was in love with her. I offered her gifts for her birthday, I went to the movies with her, I was supportive and everything. It was kinda the best time of my life at that point. Until, out of the blue, at her birthday, she just said to me " here is my boyfriend ". I didn't want to believe it, it was like a nightmare. Every time, every look, every smile was painful. I didn't want to be a bad person, so I still made my best to support her in her decision. It was even better since I didn't confess. But I still was going through it in the worst way possible. It was the start of my downfall.
My best friend, named Charles, told me: " Bro, if you don't want to be hurt more, shut up and thug it out ". So I did. But she was here, everyday, everywhere, always. Same class, same friend group, contact infos, social media stories. One sided love is the worst kind of torture. Too bad I haven't used it to one of my opponents yet.
One day, we randomly decided to schedule a hangout with the friend group. Of course i wasn't really happy since she was there, but i had to go. We were five: Her, Charles, my best friend by the way, Benjamin, but we called him Ben, Maxence, but we called him Max, 'cause honestly that name is garbage, and Me.
Ooookayy, it's time for me to enter. I present myself , I'm the second Narrator of this story. I'm not part of it. So, they don't know that I'm here. I'm... kind of an entity. I can see the past and the present. Wait... I just realised I don't have a name yet. Just call me " The Second Narrator ". I'll be making some interventions. As you have seen, our protagonist here is a little full of himself, so I'll tell you what he probably won't say, and so other comments.
My first comment here is... Why would you say that your friend has a garbage name ? Have you forgotten your original name ??
We discussed for a long time on where we should go: "I want something captivating! Let's go to the new festival organised by the city." Charles said. But the C screamed: "Nahhhh, we were there like last year, and the year before. Let's go to that new theme park i talked to you about instead! My cousin said it's fire! ". We asked my boi Max and he said " I don't give a damn " what a beast.
Pff, ahaha, agreed.
Ben said " let's go hiking ". And honestly, I really liked the idea, so I took his side. We were still divided on the destination. After thirty minutes of intense disagreement and insults, we just agreed on hiking.
SPOILER!!! It was NOT a good idea hehehe. Yess, I like spoiling you.
So, we scheduled it. I called my parents, I told them and they accepted. They booked everything and even paid a guide for us.
We waited till Saturday of that week to go there. And the day before, I was chill, went back from school, showered, played videogames, peed and went to bed, a normal day. But strangely, I was too excited to sleep. I thought about drinking some milk but I avoided the consequences. So, I just prayed and slept, with great difficulty.
Guys... When he said " consequences" , he meant peeing to bed. I don't know why, but I just felt like clarifying. Thanks.
The day after, we went there the morning. We brought everything: food phones, power banks, signal emplifyers and we were ready to go!
My parents dropped me to the location, and my friends were there too. However, we saw the most horrible, despicable, non-family friendly to look, individual. " Wassup youngsters!? I'm London, your guide! Happy to know you all! " he said, and I just realized my parents went for the cheapest option again... Dad, if you can listen to me now, STOP BEING CHEAP!
Ahem... we got going-
If only you could see the faces in the crowd...( Wait! Wait a second! He was blond, taller than Void too... I feel like that's some crazy déjà-vu here...)
We walked for miles and miles , it was cool, I took great photos. It was like 9 a.m. when we started and we were so focused that we didn't even see the time fly. I remember checking my phone and it was 11 a.m. but suddenly... I looked down and the path wasn't there anymore. And it was common to have people hiking in there, so there should normally be a path. Oh, I didn't tell you, it was in a forest.
So, I looked back to my friends who were actively making fun of the guide and told them " where is the path? ", and it wasn't behind us anymore.
Max almost freaked out, but he went back to normal when we laughed at him.
We asked the guide and he said " Noo noo, I know where to go, we have to turn after that tree there "
But there was no marking anymore...
We were patient, for multiple hours, but the sun set...And no signal... we tried going back but nothing.
Caryn was calm, and I was worried about her.
Max almost assaulted the guide too but it's only a detail.
Are you not going to talk about how you were shivering from fear ?
I felt like I was the only calm one, 'cause Ben and Charles were both shivering from fear!
Nevermind.
So, we spent the night there, fortunately we had food and water. We spent like another three days or something. All lost. And this was the real thing. This is where it all went to smokes.
I woke up and Caryn was there, huh, i meant the C was there, standing, completely frightened. She said she was freezing, and she needed my body heat. I started reflecting. She had a boyfriend, she wasn't attracted to me, and on top of that, I wasn't even the only guy here. But heh, she was my crush and I was still in love with her, so... I thought I was dreaming but it was true. My dream was about to be fulfilled. I was finally, after months, happy.
Too good to be true.
I didn't care, I was like at about a day or two from death, might as well realize my fantasies!
I straight up dashed to her cute self and... I felt something in my back. A vivid pain. I looked back and I fell on the ground as I saw the guide with a knife. I tried to defend myself, by kicking and screaming but he took a rock and slammed it two times on me. The C was just looking at me, silently. That's all I remember. I don't really know what happened after.
Let's not talk about what happened. I'll keep it secret from you guys. (By the way, this was what I had spoiled you a few minutes ago)
Then I woke up!
I immediately prayed cause what the flip just happened?? I was definitely dead. I definitely got beaten by a middle aged freak and cowardly betrayed by my crush. But here I was! I wasn't mad at all! I even was happy! Because I didn't get to suffer anymore. No more unresolved feelings, since I wasn't even in the same place again. I didn't understand what happened, but I was happy it happened! It was time to restart everything from scratches and be the best!
Also, I was still in a forest. Butt naked. And the forest was different. It looked too perfect. I thought it was a dream at first but no. The feeling was actually pretty realistic.
Transmigration babyyyy!
-*The same someone from the crowd from earlier talking: Hey! So you're telling us you come from another world ? He's just messing with you! *
-Sir! Let him finish! Or you'll be next!
-So you do want to listen to my story huh ? *With a gigantic smirk*
-Keep talking.
-Okay okay, I'll do it
