1 Falling Apart Whilst Living

Zoul had already met his end. The person infront of him was too omniscient and omnipotent. Although he struck the guy with all his power yet his opponent withstood all his attacks. A halo-like barrier protected the enemy from any physical force. And even worse, his spiritual force was being absorbed into the enemy which greatly refueled his attacks and defensive barrier.

Zoul was bleeding and his limbs was breaking at the corners whilst his enemy was mocking his pathetic appearance like the enemy was looking at a destroyed and charred pancake, that failed in it's production.

The enemy even performed a powerful ability, that confronted his peers and family members. All his close companions was now being controlled like puppets that aided the enemy in battle. These potent betrayals became a huge factor and his focus was disrupted. That was one reason Zoul failed in his pursuit to carry on fighting with his full strength. His confidence and heart crumbled and so was he.

He who was once a merited genius and powerful combatant, failed to conquer his enemy and now was finally falling apart.

"This is it."

Zoul thought about his past and the arduous training's he underwent. To only become a loser in the end.

With his last bit of power left, he attacked the barrier.

His last punch touched the barrier and failed to break it. With his last breath he cursed.

"I hope you... die a gruesome... death. May your reproductive system... fail to work!"

He lashed out with his tongue and finally closed his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, when his soul departed his body, his body vanished in a splendor of light.

His soul departed to a dark space. And before he thought that this was what heaven or hell looked like, a voice sounded in his subconscious frame of mind.

[Test of Gods accomplished. Failed to kill opponent. But curses achieved success. Barely passed.]

[System Initialization Complete.]

[Establishing Host in New World.]

"What is this metallic-like voice saying? Such gibberish. Failed to kill opponent, what?... yet curses worked... oh that freak in the end succumbed to my curses. Haha... Serves him right. But it was all a test? What is happening? If my entire life was a test then my whole life was a lie!"

While Zoul was trying to think of all the events that was happening and trying to piece them together. He realized that his entire being is fake and everything he underwent was sort of like a trial.

He could not become more angry. He thought of all the problems his shoulder had to carry and all the hardships he encountered. All for a stupid goddamn test. His damn wife pulled a dagger behind his back and tried to chop his dick off while his greatest nemesis took control of everything he had a relationship with and tried to destroy him from the inside out.

"Please let me have a normal life. Please whoever beseeches such tests hear me out and fulfil my wish."

While Zoul was praying in the dark space, he suddenly vanished. His head became fuzzy and his thoughts was in complete disarray. His mind refused to think and a stubborn headache crept in. His soul was twisting and squirming like it was trying to shift out of a bottle that had a narrow neck. All he could see was darkness, and not an inch of light existed within.

He blacked out. He was in a state of sleep-like death, a coma. While he was asleep, he could unanimously feel his chest thumped to a rhythm that flowed with his thoughts and recent memories.

And finally after a long period of time, a beautiful light suffused in his mind. Making him gather his thoughts and memories. His consciousness was regained and he could feel he had a body. A new body to be precise. It was like driving a new car. He was trying to get used to the feel of this body. Although he could not see himself at this moment, he was a tad bit excited for some unknown reason.

"A new life awaits with new opportunities to be discovered."

This thought birthed itself deeply in his now fully awakened mind. When he opened his eyes, he saw a room which he slept in. He was covered in blankets and had a bandage wrapped around his head. He looked up at the ceiling and everything seemed normal like that of his previous world. There was a normal light bulb that lit up his room and a normal fan. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

He lifted the blankets and approached the mirror that was screwed to a clean wall. He was immediately surprised and shocked. First of all, his pupils was red and his eyeball was black in color. Not only was he chubby, he was a fatty. He had short hair and he looked like a typical person that uses glasses.

"What the hell is this?"

He questioned his new look's. He was still young, he looked about seventeen and he had a fairly decent but average appearance. Only thing that seems totally freakish was his black eyeballs and red pupil. He felt his skin on his back was hard like he had scales. Before he could curse whoever did this to him, the metallic-voice spoke once again.

[Systems request for configuring new system interface. Would you Agree?]

Zoul had no idea what was happening but he could understand some of the things. Everything seemed like a mobile phone he had used in his previous fake life. Maybe the test had prepared him for this type of thing.

"Agree."

He answered unwaveringly.

[New system interface and intelligence configuring. Please be patient.]

In front of him, a loading bar appeared in the air. The percentage in the end of the loading bar reached hundred.
