The last chapter... Maybe?

"Actually, the ability to manipulate mana is commonly called as 'Ergokinesis', the power to manipulate energy with the mind. Everyone has ergokinesis, they only differ in levels of capability.

Those people who are often shadowed by their doubts can only do the basics in mana manipulation like 'illumination', which I already showed you earlier, but people who really believes in their selves in a good or positive way can do much more and are usually in higher levels of ergokinesis.

A great example of higher leveled people are the higher authorities or the rulers, they believe to serve the masses with their outmost abilities which in turn fueled their capacities to higher levels.

They could manipulate energy in a sense that it could affect the development of the kingdom. They could help the agriculture to be prosperous through their ergokinesis, or even ward off the dark miasma threatening us people with its negative vibes, drowning us in misery and depression.

Which is why they are commonly the ones in power to govern the masses...", after a long day of studying and her teaching, I get to learn most of the things I needed to know about ergokinesis, all there's left it to actually practice it.

It turns out, the mutant saber-toothed tiger we encountered was called as Nekolynx of the legends, a play word from the words Bakeneko and Lynx.

It symbolizes unravelling hidden truths and guides people to their path.

After meeting her brother, King Sovieshu, we actually kind of got along well so it played out smoothly.

He is actually only four years older than Nav, so young to be a king in my opinion, but amazing because he already got the ability at a young age.

To be honest, he is like the man version of princess Naviere, only, he is so majestically handsome, I feel like I got a little crush on him.

For a day of getting to know their family, we immediately clicked together like I'm really part of their family.

So, for commemoration of being their adopted member, they gave me what it seems like a crystal sticker, similar to Nav's, to help me learn ergokinesis.

Then… for a couple of days or few weeks of practicing ergokinesis. Step by step, I get to manipulate mana and do astounding things, turns out I got great talent for this.

I never believed in myself so much, so much than my past life.

Days passed by, turn to weeks, then years, lots of up and downs, great adventures of saving the kingdom from the dark miasma, solving the mysteries of the land, quest to seek uncertainties and meeting new people.

I must say I really am making the most of my second life.

With this I learned so many lessons in life which I wish I could have known in my past life, I suddenly missed my past family, my past friends, wishing I could turn back time and relive my initial life.

Remembering the happy memories I actually have back then…

Why did I focused too much on negativities when my life was actually fine, I could have looked at my life at a brighter perspective yet all I thought of was how bland it was…

As tears stained my face, I didn't notice that my feet brought me back to the scary dark cave where my second life started.

The cave was actually, really named as Plato's Cave, such coincidences eh? Something seems like to call me from the depths of the cave.

I slowly walked in, not minding the dark surroundings. Actually, as I walk towards the depths of the cave, I get to take in the beauty present in the darkness, glistening moist icicles on the ceiling of the cave, little crystals on the walls with dim blue lights.

There is actually beauty in this darkness…

*growl* that's when all the hairs in my body stood, then again, I saw, the fierce mutant saber-toothed tiger, Nekolynx.

This time, I stopped myself from being so afraid, this spirit animal right here symbolizes the truth, the truth which smacked me in the face, the truth which made me realize all the things I should have known.

I bowed down and thank the spirit animal for guiding me to a new path of self-preservation and upliftment.

As I raised my head up, the fierce vibe it once has turned into a majestic one like that of a celestial, its once red glowing eyes turned into a galaxy full of stars.

It seems like, it saw that I have changed for the better. Suddenly… its eyes glowed and spout luminous bright light blinding me, I can't help but close my eyes and cover it from the blinding light but, it didn't do anything, because, all I see is still bright white light.

*beep*…

*beep*…

What's that noise? I slowly tried to opened my closed eyes, my vision became a bit hazy, though the surrounding is still white, it's not as bright as it was.

*beep*…

*beep*…

Turning around to the source of the noise, I get to see the Vital Signs Monitor. Showing my every heartbeat…

Flabbergasted I immediately tried to get up, but I suddenly felt hazy and weak, so I fell down the bed again.

*rustles* I felt someone moving from my sides, then that person hurriedly hugged me and called the nurse…

"Angelica? Oh, my sweet beloved daughter, oh my dear little angel, thank god, you finally woke up", my mom muttered with tears flowing down her face… I also felt warm liquid down my own face, am I also crying?

I can't help but hug her back and comfort her.

I suddenly noticed the television, and there, I saw, someone familiar… Naviere? Oh! No! it's actually my idol… MNL48 Gabb… whew! Such fangirling…

Sounds of the abrupt opening of doors, the nurse and the doctor rushed in along with my family and friends…

It seemed like I was asleep for far too long… two years… I lived in my own world, created by my mind, for two… friggin'… years…

I can't help but laugh a little at their funny, worried, panic-stricken faces…

"Ha-ha, hello guys… I'm back!", I chuckled and said with my hoarse voice, for once, smiling at them.

This time…

I will actually…

Really…

LIVE MY LIFE.

No more dull depressing thoughts, no more feelings of boredom on things that could be much more than how I see it, no more fear on being not able to do things I haven't even tried to do.

Like in the dark cave, even darkness has it's beauty, I just have to see it clearly and not close my eyes on the things I should have seen.

To be happy all we need is to believe and be grateful for all there is, no comparing to others, just be thankful on what you have and if you want more then just strive for it, not just lay at the corner and be consumed by envy and discontentment.

Now, I just hope that people like me from the past should open their eyes and see the wonders life could bring and not focus on negative things.

At present, I can proudly say, even if I'm not in the fantasy world, I just have to look for the positive side of life and everyday would be magical.
