Reincarnation of the Future Villain

I woke up in a daze, looking around, I didn't find familiarity in this red, dim and blurry surroundings. Panicking, I tried to remember anything that happened that he might've forgot.

As I remembered, my name is Felix, Felix Newhart.

As I remembered I was in my apartment, like all adults, contemplating my life choices as I sat alone. That night I felt suffocating in my apartment and went out to walk.

Once I left, I felt my subconscious lead me to wonder around seemingly.

Crossing the street the light clearly shined green, yet my fated truck decided to take to the scene.

I trembled as I still wanted my life to not be killed in the most cliche of ways, so I instantly lied down and the truck passed him overhead. Fortunately or unfortunately, I was skinny and frail so the truck only grazed me. 'Huh is it that easy to avoid a truck?'

Getting up, still having the adrenaline in my veins I still decided to continue my walk. Despite what it had already brought me.

Now entering the park, it felt empty yet comforting. Sitting down at the bench I clenched my chest, pain erupted and filled my body. Yet I didn't falter, because I had already expected this. The night held no comfort and started to rain.

"I guess all that time of ignoring it, it finally caught up to me"

I was a frail and meek person, yet I had a strong will and had great determination. I tried my best at school, made friends. Studied for exams. Cried at seemingly cringe and cliche romance movies, which they were. I got a job. Earned money. Graduated high school. Lived 'safe' and in comfort. But despite that, I was failing, not at school or work but in a fight.

My fight with cancer.

For once in my life I felt regret not telling anyone. I knew it was stupid and dumb to hide this away but, my mindset was that to give joy, I had to ignore mine.

Tears dropped from my eyes like diamonds disappearing, as they stung.

And as the night began to halt, and the rain disappeared. My heartbeats slowed. My life didn't literally flash before my eyes, but in a calm and relaxing story. The story of my hidden and depressed life. The life now that I looked at it was painful and unfulfilling.

Tears glinted in the sun's shine as I felt I didn't do my best...

I didn't try my best...

...

I woke up, my gaze serene and empty of emotion. The black void that met mine was neither was emotional nor comforting.

Just like that saying goes, 'If you stare long into the abyss, then the abyss will stare back'

My gaze faltered and gazed deeper.

Eventually mine met with another gaze, one of which would tell me where I am.

The reason I felt that it was unnecessary to scream help, was that I knew I died.

They didn't have to remind me of that painful life, I wasn't fully over it yet I felt like I could overlook it. Just maybe...

The gaze that now looked back at me was a dark and huge figure. Even in that void I could still see I enormous outline, though never seeing the whole thing.

"Child, why are you here?" The voice spoke in such a tone in which anyone would tremble in.

Yet I remained stagnant, I spoke in a voice that was lacklustre in emotion.

"I've died..." The figure looked at me in pity, yet didn't care about me as this was a regular thing for him.

"I guess you don't know but... I'm the devil. The reason it's me not 'god' is that your reward in heaven is undeserved. Yet your presence in hell is also undeserved. So we decided that we'd give you a second life to measure your worth again"

I was brought in a trance, I could full my desire and live as I should, or remain with a life that's the same as my last.

The devil brought me out of my train of thought.

"Is there anything you would like to ask?"

I thought again and said.

"I didn't think, the devil would remain so calm and... not angry all the time?"

The devil chuckled and replied back.

"My child, that nature is only meant for those who deserve it, nothing you need to worry about. Is that all the questions you would like to ask?"

I indeed had more questions, but I knew that some answers would only bore me as the journey would've been more exiting than to know it.

"No that's all, I'm ready to be reincarnated" I replied.

The devil nodded and with the snap of his fingers, the void seemed to disappear and I went unconscious.

...

The memories came to me with a crash and I felt a massive headache.

Now with my worries now gone, I slept as I figured out that as a baby I couldn't do much...
