1 A happy ending.

"You know that... you guys don't need to cry right?" I told them, my kids, while looking at them in my literally death bed. This will be the place where I'll die, there's no escape.

'Thanks Ghawd... hehe, I really appreciate it.' Thinking was one of the things I was able to do while laying here surrounded by my three kids, a good number if I say so myself when I couldn't enjoy my past life.

Still, I'm impressed with myself, coming to a new world that has magic and just doing... family business? That's what I was dreaming for, I can finally die happy.

'I lost my chance at becoming an adventurer... however, there's no way this is putting me down.' Dying after your wife is one of the choices that it seems some god gave me, she must be waiting for me at the other side, hope so, the being wouldn't give me some second chance only to break me at the end. Right?

'Faith.'

What interrupted my thoughts however was not the 'kids', but the female doctor - "Sir, it's time." Immediately I understood what was coming, the light, the darkness, my life was ready to go away from my body.

Sadly her words fell not only on my ears, but on the three's that surrounded my bed.

The closest person to me was my daughter, and having her hugging my waist with her head laid down at my waist really showed how she cared about me - "Please... *sniff* just a little more, maybe a couple of years, dad... *sniff* please." She cried and whined, basically soiling the bed cover.

"Shh... It's okay, remember that I'll always be watching so don't dare to cry again okay?" I answered the 13 year old Katharine, the beautiful girl had the same hair as myself and my wife, the straight clean brown hair. I mean, I had that hair, white is my new color.

'I was never good with words haha...' Telling myself this made me smile bitterly on the outside.

"No way! *sniff* Only if you stay with me..." Katherine still wouldn't understand it seems, it's to be expected, she's only a child afterall - "I'm sorry Kat, you know I cannot do that..." After my words she was crying a waterfall.

'Ah, there's nothing to be done it seems, maybe it's my fault, she's 13 when I'm 98...' Yes, I don't even know how that's possible, but I was having a blast. What a granddaughter keke...

"Now now, Allen and Elyas, you know the deal, I love you guys too..." They were holding not to cry, maybe even laugh when I said that stupid words of mine - "Oh and, since I'm going to soon, bring the bracelet to Katherine, she should've received in the age of 15 like you both, but as you can see, let alone staying here for two more years I can't even hold for more 10 minutes."

"Very well father." The one saying this was Allen, being 36 he had like all the family members, brown hair and eyes, and beside him, Elyas was not an exception, the only difference was the slight white hair appearing on his head, a man on his fifties, he had his own children already.

Sadly they're not in the room right now as the matter of the bracelet was too important for them to join, so the matter of my death was kept a secret from them, something that myself was not very proud of.

It didn't took long to Allen to barge in with a little box, obviously not wanting to miss my death.

"Here father." Formal as always he said to me as he placed the box on top of me.

"Thank you son." I tell Allen.

Looking at the confused and snot-full Katherine - "As you can see dad is too weak and can't even move his own arms, open the gift, it's for you." Her face showed a tiny smile and she didn't waste any time to 'click' the cube open.

"Yes, as you heard, it's a bracelet that your father made. You can decide what you do with it after I'm gone as it's yours now, if you want to keep it, talk with your brothers after this." I told her and moved my eyes to both of my male children and nodded.

"Now-" I suddently had to stop speaking, but forced my next words with a hoarse voice - "My time... has come, this is it, farewell... my family...." Of course they noticed my sudden stop, but seeing I talk again, they could only keep still and hear this last words. This was what made Allen finally break down in tears.

I saw that Elyas was calm, but understood, what an old man.

Noticing that I couldn't talk anymore I close my eyes and not long after I receive... something familiar.

In the middle of an entire void like place panels start appearing in my field of view.

"At least I'm not going bald like all of my lives." I'm saying this but it doesn't make me happy, I was expecting my wife...

'For some reason I'm not that sad, what a psycho...'

"What a bunch of bullshit, is this what I get from being too sad on my first life? Or maybe I didn't took that much of time to enjoy the wonders of magic..." I still couldn't help but be a little bit down.
