System And The Mysterious Man (1)
It has been some time since Olivia left, but Alex is still looking up at the sky. His lifeless, emotionless eyes are devoid of all feeling.
"Hah" After some time, Alex opened his eyes and breathed deeply. He shouldn't have gotten his hopes up in the first place because nothing was new. He has since given some thought to how Olivia, the school's reigning queen, could approach him.
How foolish was he to believe that she even loved him? Now it all made sense to him. The more he thought about it, the more Alex's hatred for Olivia and James grew, and the more he wanted to go beat them senselessly, but eventually, he calmed down.
Alex was quite aware of his inability to exact revenge on them, even in his most enraged state. If he actually went to where James was, he would not defeat James; instead, he would be the one who would be beaten to death. He had no one to support him, not even a single friend, unlike James, who had his group of friends and family to back him up.
Now, even though it hurt, all he could do was bury this hatred deep within his heart. He might be able to exact his vengeance in the future, but not right away.
While continuing to look up, Alex began to hear a noise. It started low and was almost audible, but as time went on, it got louder.
What is that noise? Alex tried to locate the source of the sound by looking around, but he was unable to find anything. As Alex turned to leave, he mused inwardly, "Perhaps it was a plane that passed through here."
"BOOMM!!"
The sound he had been hearing earlier became louder; a powerful wind began to blow throughout the area, and the mountain began violently shuddering.
"What in the world?" The mountain began to tremble, and Alex screamed aloud as he slumped to the ground after finding it difficult to maintain his balance.
He was absolutely terrified and had no idea what was going on.
"Are you serious?" His eyes widened in surprise, and his expression darkened.
"Heh-heh-heh-ha-ha!" He started laughing crazily as he stared at the sky. A bright object in the sky was moving terrifyingly fast toward the mountain he was standing on top of.
"Is this how I die?" Was it really bad luck to be killed by a meteorite? What did he do in order to earn such a life? Was he a demonic god, or was he the reincarnation of evil? What did his former life do?
Alex wanted to run, but he was adamant that there was no way he could avoid a meteorite hurtling toward him at the speed of sound.
Not to mention that the meteorite will likely crush him along with the mountain in less than a minute; it would take him at least 20 minutes to escape the mountain.
He could only wait for his death. It is said that when someone is about to die, they begin reliving their lives in a flash, and all Alex saw were painful memories.
Maybe... maybe it was better for him to die; his life had been nothing but terrible.
"SHHHHH!!"
As it neared the mountaintop, the meteorite grew larger. Alex's entire body was enveloped in the light, which had rendered him blind and unable to see anything.
"BOOom"
...
...
in a place full of nothingness where the flow of time didn't seem to exist and everything was filled with darkness.
The place seemed to stretch into infinity, and there was not a single ray of light.
A body floated in the darkness, flowing through the void endlessly.
The person who was floating on the sea of nothingness suddenly opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had gone blind, but even after rubbing his eyes for some time, he was not able to see anything.
He was trying to move his hands and feet, but he wasn't able to do anything.
Unable to understand what was going on and where he was, he shouted and cursed.
"What the fuck is going on?"
He looked around but couldn't find anything; it felt as if he was in a void where no physical substances exist, which scared him to his core.
"Where am I?" "Did I die?"
"Wait, who am I?"
"My name is... My name."
He tried to recall his name, but he wasn't able to remember who he was either; his memories were blank as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
As he tried to rack his brain, suddenly an excruciating pain assaulted him.
He screamed as various memories of the past and present interlaced with each other, and he screamed at the top of his lungs as he felt his brain was about to burst.
"Argghhhhhhhhhh."
"My name is... my name is Alex... Alex Dracon."
The boy questioned himself, as he felt that he had lived two lives and had memories of two different lives.
There were two memories in his head, one of Alex, who got dumped by his crush, and of another Alex.
According to his memories of his second life, he came from another world that he had only read about in novels the cultivation world, where cultivators cultivate the energy between heaven and earth.
A place where someone can blow a mountain with only his strength exists.
Memories of his second life started to resurface slowly in his mind.
Unlike his first life, in his second life, he was born with a golden spoon, the only son of the matriarch of the Dracon Clan, one of the best clans in his continent, but was not able to enjoy his status.
