{Lev wore a surprised and confused look when the words of the old man rang inside his head.}
"Did you just say I was still Inside a gate?"
"Exactly! As I found your body laying dead inside, you remain attached to this place."
"How can that happen? I know that gate become the trend for those who seek power after the disappearance of rift but this is hilarious. You aren't expecting me to just believe this, do you?"
"Of course I won't, like the day I remake that body of yours."
{Like a bell that rang from calling, Lev remembered what he had Ben through all this time. How he come into contact with an unknown entity and how he keep living after death. He remembered then like a movie being played in a cinema.}
Life was an ongoing struggle for human in this time and age. The peaceful world has already entered the age of rift, where giant monsters would crawl out and would destroy everything at their sight. Human had already become one of the lowest being in the food chain.
With the appearance of servant user, human soon raise from the bottom to the top of the pyramid, making their enemies trembled on their feet. They become destroyer, more so than those giant monsters.
Yet everything ended with the successful conquer of the last rift and downfall of the strongest guild from korea at the same time.
Now everything was over and that peace had entered, that is if there wasn't an "IF" that exist.
With another life granted to a hundreds years in the future, the one who live from the dark has again become a kid, living another life and his second life.
Though, not as peaceful as what he had thought. The life he currently had was more peaceful than the past earth he live. So, he choose to laid back from growing stronger and just watch from a far. He set his goals to be free of trouble, with the least hardship he would need to do.
Yet trouble always finds its way to his side. Might be from laiding back for all the time, his good carma died and change to a bad carma, leading to a consequence that pay with his life.
Though life flow like water, he never thought that he would once again would experience another life being granted by a being who has a body full of mysterious stars inside.
Whether he need to face trouble on his own just to repay his benefactor on this life, he would do it. Specially when he knows that, he would live a life that of a story.
"I see that no matter what I do, I can't change something predetermined to happen."
{Lev sighed from the thought that he would need to live inside a Gate, he sighed from the thought of not being able to see his little twin brother again, and he sighed that he would need to do something he doesn't have any experience with.}
Will I be able to do those things? But If I don't, this body that has been set like an expiry date would died out. So, do I really have a choice to begin? No, I must do it. Not just for the sake of being able to once again see my little twin brother one time but also to remain alive. So, I must...
{Like the past him who live from darkness, Lev decided to once again enter a path that requires evilness. His mind has been set, and will never budge from fear.}
"If you have already come to your conclusion, then shall be begin?"
"Sure."
{From that moment on, a life was waiting Lev inside the gate. Not just a single life, but hundreds or maybe thousands of them. As the place he was created and live for a while was solely made of energy intersepted from the illusion of the mysterious being. Lev was now ready to face the world within a gate. Though alone in the surface, but if gifted eyes would look, they would for sure see that the appearance he wore was just a flick of illusion, masking what the mysterious being made(his appearance/body), and that there was two other entities resting inside his body that glowed in orange and mint green.}
Flash
...
Gate, a mysterious door that appeared on the current earth 3 years ago. Similar to a rift but at the same time, it differs from one another. A rift would appear whenever it wanted. Whether in a road, inside an apartment, or a classroom, it would. And would vanished once being conquered, but a gate won't. The gate appearance shocked everyone making it a sign of the second horror earth would face, yet the gate didn't let that be. As lots of world's coexist inside, it remain inside, nothing more.
Though danger was still present, if we were going to study the food chain, it wasn't that much different from any species coexisting on earth. It just, inside the gate was a life totally different from earth, and that you can acquire a piece of mystery that you can use to defeat your enemy inside. That is if you where lucky to encounter some.
Looking now, I must be lucky to be sent on this land. Greenery and fresh air. Just smelling the fragrance scent from the surrounding, I could already tell that this world must be one of those rich world that exist.
"But what world am I currently was?"
Hmm!
"Now that I have send you to your destination, I shall take my leave. But just a reminder, your body is in need of that thing, so better hurry up or should I taught you the way of that play?"
{Lev wonder what to say, he was humming in thoughts trying to find the right answer for his benefactor. It just Lev felt a tingling of weirdness on his body that seems to scream for a run.}
Its weird that a being on his calibre was saying something like that and with his large size, for sure I would be left wrecked. I couldn't even imagine how pitiful I would be once done but no. I need time for this, and I could just figure out another way on how to sustain this body's life not fully depending on what he suggested, right?
"I see you already come to a conclusion, then I shall go now. But if one day you needed it, don't be afraid to ask."
"Hmm, sure."
{With a single look of the two, one vanished from the screen while the other remain uncertain if the choice he choose was the best for him.}
"Nah, it was already done. My answer has already been spoken, so beter hurry up and find a way for this body to retain or be what the mysterious guy suggest."
I guest, I should figure that out.
