9 years after the great war that shook the world.

I was never a believer of the afterlife.
My name is Lin XiaoTan.
I was sixteen when diagnosed with lungs cancer, the same sickness that took father.
I was two years old when father left me, mother and my two (elder) sisters.
Another thing about cancer... other than taking away loved ones is that cancer also drinks money. (kim: Not eat but drink, there's a difference in the rate of consumption... ahaha) The medical expenses are quite burdensome for the already poor.
My mum had no money...
And I didn't wanted to be a burden, So I contemplated suicide twice but... I couldn't. It was hard....
I wanted to live a little longer.
I didn't even started to enjoy my life.
There were still plenty of things left to do.
One of them is to build mum a Big house...
Watch my sisters make their home...
And most importantly watch the end of one piece.
...
....
Then again... mum began to work 3 jobs just for me.
Was I worth all this? ...
I didn't return home that night. The next morning people found me unconscious in a waiting shed.
Had my first fight with mum that day.. she was beating me
But I just felt her worries...
Then I told her ... I wasn't worthy of her love..
She just walked away.. without a sign of life in her eyes... I cried..
What have I done...
By the grace of God, the next week my eldest sister finally got hired by a big company. She sent all the money to us.
My chemotherapy began just the next day. The days following... my hairs began to shed and my nails kept getting dark.
Overall it was itchy and painful.
....
My hairs were shedding so much..
So mother and I went to get my head shaved.
But I would've never expected what will happened next even in the wildest of dreams.
A trolley with a baby was rolling on it's own towards the traffic and the mother was chasing after it.
I also notice a truck speeding towards the trolley...
Why did I move...
Bamm! screeeeechhhh!
The last thing I saw was my mum disbelieving face. Her eyes were full of why's that were dripping down as tears.
I couldn't even say goodbye..

[What is it that you wish for?]
An amiable old man ... old enough to be called an ancient asks me as we climb the gentle hill with a golden peach tree on it's top.
We walked side-by-side and shoulder to shoulder as he patted my back for a job well done.
[Your family will live a blessed life, all thanks to you.]
"I'm glad."
The old man smiles was really warm... it had me believing he meant no harm and he was my grandfather himself.. unknowingly I was already calling him grandfather.
[I will repeat myself again, what is it that you wished for...]
Wealth....
Power.....
Status...
Or looks....
All the words kept repeating in my head... wealth... power.. all of them were tempting.. but..
"Lord grandfather... I don't wish for anything,
but if you could I'll pray to you to;
grant us your great protection upon earth
so we may survive for another thousands of year without any hiccups
and then for every life on earth ...
Bless us with peace for those who wants it
and help for those who needs it."
[Hahaha quite stubborn you are.]
The kind old man was laughing heartily.. he looked warmly upon a caterpillar coiling itself in it's silk.
[Change, my favourite of creation...
morph yourself into a better you..]
He then look at me smiling bitterly.
[I checked your records,
And consider this my fair warning and a lesson, my child
Bolt by the night..
I deny you thrice.]
I didn't get his wise words yet it rung in my ears.
[Friendship, beauty, passion.]
[One of then is true.]
[Prove me right.]
[If you do.]
[I'll grant you your wish.]

Kim:
I know you're confused but (TT) it's a plot...
MC wants world peace.
But the almighty won't agree.
And now he have to prove either friendship, beauty and passion.
'I checked your records' means the old man has been observing MC.
MC is a selfish person who doesn't believe in friendship... nor he has passion .. and love for beauty.
Such a person wishing for world peace is superficial but he had already wished for it... and now it must be granted. "becareful of what you wish for."
So in order to change his twisted view, the old man is sending him to Boruto series so that he will know "Pain" erm... I mean true meaning of justice and peace.
PS
I love you.
