Ch. 145 - Life could be dream

[I apologize for the late chapter. I was in a meeting with my group Mates last night, discussing a Group activity. And before I knew it, I fell asleep. Probably from exhaustion.]

|-_-_-_-_-_-_|

After manipulating his way on the WaterGate Hotel. Jin successfully booked two rooms for him and Jeff separately. There's no way he would let them sleep in the same room.

'Coincidentally', the room that he booked was the same room that he booked before he died in his previous life. What a coincidence.

'It feels good to be back but...This is not my world, so the feeling is kind of different.' Jin would be lying if he said that he doesn't miss his home. Unlike other protagonists, he has a career, a family, friends and the only thing he lacks is a lover. But he could solve that easily if he wasn't reincarnated.

'Now that I'm here, I wonder what I'm supposed to do?' Jin tapped his chin several times again, since he's already here. And from what he knows, COVID hasn't happened yet, so there are many things that Jin could do thanks to his future knowledge advantage. Perhaps the only difference in this human world is that Apple is the most renowned phone in the world, surpassing even the famous ones such as Samsung.

'As far as I know' Samsung is just as famous as Apple so how come Android brands are almost on the verge of bankruptcy now?' Jin wondered to himself.

'I mean, the only way for Apple to beat every phone brand is to become innovative and have a competent CEO after Steve Jobs's death.' Jin's eyes squinted in suspicions. If his assumptions are right. Then that only means this world is either a different world than he knows or there's an unknown variable that changed this world.

'Hopefully, it's the former. If it's the latter either that variable is God or a reincarnator like me.' Jin chuckled to himself. Thinking that having another reincarnator is illogical.

'Wait, I'm also a reincarnator.' Jin stopped in his tracks and whispered to himself in realization.

'But God didn't tell me there's a reincarnator right? No, relying too much on him would result in a fifty fifty positive and negative. I'll have to answer this myself.' Jin said with a determined expression on his face before taking out a laptop that is provided by the Hotel by booking their luxury suite.

He opened Google and searched for any anomalies besides the Android-Apple thing.

'Hmm....Now this is a surprise, although I read it in Jeff's mind that the president is different but I didn't expect it to be this different.' Jin smirked while looking at the earliest photo of the President.

'This guy is surely a vampire in disguise.' Jin smirked in victory. Just from the pale face that he can see on the screen, he's already sure that either the president is a crack or a vampire.

He can see from the way he always wears black even on special occasions and not only his eyes were red, he also always wears a hat and umbrella outside even in warm weather.

What else could this be but a vampire? Though this can't confirm everything but it just increases the possibility.

"Fuck it, I'll see him for myself later. But for now, I need to satisfy my boredom." Jin cursed and stretched his limbs again before searching for anything on the internet.

"Since this world is quite the same as my previous world except for a few, maybe I could change some events." Jin scratched his chin and continued searching.

Jin suddenly stopped typing when a thought came across his mind. Something that made most people back in his world cry.

"Harambe...." Jin muttered before quickly typing about the shooting of a Gorilla named Harambe.

Soon, he sighed in relief when he saw nothing about Harambe's death.

"Hoo~ Thank God, he's still fine. What was the date he got killed by the way?" Jin scratched his head, trying to remember the date when Harambe was killed.

Why was Harambe killed you might ask?

Harambe is a gorilla in a zoo, he was killed around 2016 after a child fell inside his home or close to him.The zoo staff was then forced to make the difficult decision to shoot Harambe to ensure the child's safety. Using tranquilizers is too risky and would just agitate Harambe, which might accidentally kill the child.

'Tsk tsk tsk, if only the parent of the child didn't move their eyes away from him, perhaps Harambe would still be alive and breathing.' Jin shook his head in disappointment. If you're a parent, then it is your responsibility to watch over your child, being busy or talking to someone isn't a good excuse to not watch over your child.

'Idiot humans as always.' Jin shook his head again before stopping and raising his eyebrow in confusion.

'Hm? Why did I just say that as if I wasn't born human? Weird...' Still, Jin put this thoughts in the back of his head and focused on his current goal, which is to save Harambe.

"But since I don't know when it would happen, I guess I would just have to resort to mind 'tricks'." Jin grinned and said to himself before lying down on the bed.

"Welp, I guess I will be a bit busy tomorrow. What a vacation, Jin." Jin remarked before closing his eyes and falling asleep, failing to notice that his eyes flashed in red before he closed his eyes.

***

Jin doesn't know how long he has been asleep but the moment he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see himself in a dark space. Quite similar to God's space however instead of being an all-white, Jin only saw darkness. So dark that he couldn't even see his own hand.

'Where am I?' Jin said out loud however he didn't hear his voice which shocked him and put a chill in his spine.

'I must be dreaming....But I'm conscious of my dream, which shouldn't be possible....but since I'm no longer a human, perhaps that's why.' Jin murmured inside his mind while looking around for any clues he might find. But to no avail, everything and everywhere are nothing but pure darkness.

'This is getting creepy.' Jin also realized that he can't use his powers and abilities. He's powerless in his own dream!

'I thought I would be able to control my own dreams, that's what it said in the media, right?' Jin started to fear for himself. He's in an unknown space without any powers to protect himself just in case.

That's when he suddenly heard a voice that resounds everywhere around him, he heard it everywhere, not right, not front, not back nor on the left. It's like the sound has surrounded him.

[But I am your son!]

From what Jin heard on this voice, it was an angry male voice that seems to hold deep anger as an emotion.

[Everyone is my son and daughter, Luci.]

When Jin heard the next voice, his voice contorted in shock. The voice sounds familiar!

'God?' Jin uttered the name of the first person that came to his mind when he heard the voice. Noticing that there's still another reply, Jin put it in the back of his mind and continued eavesdropping or whatever he is happening right now.

Thankfully, he finally knows who are the two people talking. One is God while the other is a person named Luci.

[.....But I am your favourite.]

Luci replied but this time, there was deep sadness in his voice instead. Jin could almost imagine the current situation in his head which is quite weird but neat at the same time.

In his imagination, he could see God's figure in his white space while talking to a person in front of him. Jin couldn't see what the man looks like but all he could tell is that this Luci is a man taller than God in height. Both of them were standing which is why Jin could tell whose taller.

[....Not anymore.]

Jin heard God's voice again but his tone is quite similar to the man named Luci, the tone is even sadder.

[....I see....It's a mistake coming here.]

Luci then clenched his fists and his head dropped down before turning around and walking away. Jin's 'Imagination' is so vivid that he could even hear Luci's footsteps as he walks away.

[Sam!]

God tried to call out to him however much to Jin's confusion, God uttered a different name instead of calling the man as 'Luci'.

'Why does it feel like God's calling me instead?' Jin touched his chest and felt his heart beating wildly out of shock for some unknown reason.

[Don't call me that!]

Much to Jin's surprise, Luci turned around and rudely pointed his finger at God before yelling in rage.

God stopped in his tracks and could only stand in his place as he watched Luci turn around again and walk away.

Before Jin could further watch what was happening, his 'imagination' suddenly disappeared as if it had popped out of existence.

'What? What happe-' Just as Jin was about to question what happened, he felt someone forcedly pushing him away and before he knew it, he was already back in his bed at his hotel room.

Jin's bed was soaked with his sweat while Jin was breathing heavily as if he had just gone into a marathon. Which is impossible as Jin never saw himself sweating again after he left the world of Kung Fu Panda, so he was surprised to see himself drenched in his own sweat.

"Huff...Huff....Huff."

While breathing in and out heavily, Jin could only muster a few words out of his mouth.

"What was that?"
