Our Love Repeats At Zero

A promised eternity and meaningful vows linked the Greek god of love and a mortal to lifetimes of relationship. Two drips of blood stained one rock as the proof of their devotion for each other. Before Eros could kiss his bride, she collapsed to deep slumber in his arms. The first and last kiss he ever laid on her forehead was a heart wrenching one that moved clouds to tears, stopped birds from singing and darkened the sky. At the peak of his heart ache, he glared at his mother, Aphrodite, resentfully for her lies, schemes and jealousy. "The moment you decided to hurt her, you should have expected losing me as your son." Eros eyes laid on his wife whose body withered to ashes and flowed to the underworld. "Let her live and I'll be her replacement." Once again, he watched her soul reach safety to the Oracle's hands. Aphrodite stripped away his power and threw him to the dungeon of suffering and torment, expecting him to give up his stubbornness after a few days. His love for her only deepened and the desire for power heightened. Eventually, he became the Devil. Oracle: "Her soul has been sent to the reincarnation portal, but I can't say when it would be her turn." "I'll wait for that day to come." Eros sipped his wine in his chamber as he stayed away from heavens. Thousands of years later..... "Master! Master! The human world is very exciting! There are books about you and your late wife's love story there too! I wonder how humans learn about these stories." The teenage crow demon, Axle, flapped his wings excitedly as he chanted about his findings. "Oh? Then bring me that book as souvenir next time." Eros chuckled at his underling. ------------------- The crow disguised himself as a teenager and always wandered around in a bookstore. "Tsss.. paper cut!" The girl accidentally cut her finger when she flipped to the last page of the Greek mythology tales book at the counter. "Are you alright?" "Yes, but the book..." "It's fine. I'll still take it." The crow said as he didn't mind the drip of blood that stained the words, happy ending, on the last page of the book. --------------- The book burned to flames and was tossed to the floor for others to make a bonfire. "Ridiculous! Happy ending? Don't let me see that ever again!" Eros' rare anger filled voice echoed piercingly in other demon's ears. Crow: "Master! Look!" Eros' attention landed on the pile of ashes on the floor. With widened eyes, he approached the pile of ashes and picked up the unburned piece. "Happy ending.." Oracle: "Eros, she's back." -------------- - A certain high school - "Ugly trash! Leave!" Classmate voices echoed in the girl's ear as she found her gymnastic sneakers filled with pin tacks, gym uniform soaked in pungent scented liquid and scribbled curses all over her desk. Facing the insults five days a week, she had gotten used to it. Still, it hurt to see people duding by her appearance. As tears clouded over her face, the mixture of cosmetics melted. "Here, wipe your tears. Don't let their words get to you." The popular classmate smiled and handed her a pack of tissues, instantly winning her heart as nobody had shown her an inch of respect in school. Rinsing her cosmetic filled face at home, the water dyed grey along with other colors. "I found you, my prince." Too bad, the prince was just a jerk who wanted to gain popularity. Luckily, she realized it early. ------------------ One night, she saved a kitten from getting run over by a car. The driver stepped out and asked if she was alright. Seeing how the man was wrapped up from head to toe, she handed the kitten to him. "I'm fine. Here, take the kitten to the hospital." "Miss, I think you need the hospital more than the kitten." His voice sounded magnetic to her ears. "I'm really fine. Bye." Her gorgeous smile greeted the man warmly. "Interesting. She didn't scam me." Eros stared at the direction where she had ran away.

Axle's Effort 2

"Hold that rectangle right there! I have apologized and fixed your arm! If you move any closer with that rectangle in your hand, I will fight!" To show off the seriousness of his words, Axle stood up from his seat and stomped one foot on the chair.

"Did you think fixing my arm and saying you're sorry will make everything the same?! If that is the case, then why would we need the police?! You stay right there! My men will teach you some manners!" The muscular man stretched his arm out, pointing his phone in Axle's direction.

With the thought of the cellphone as a potential weapon, Axle reacted quickly. He tackled the man's wrist, snatched the cellphone before it fell to the ground, and flipped the man over his shoulders. The man landed on the floor with a loud groan.

One after another, the three underlings tried attacking Axle all at once. However, Axle avoided all incoming attacks and banged their heads against each other. As a result, all their cellphones bounced in the air and ended up in Axle's possession. With the four of them stacked up like pancakes, Axle used the tissue on the table to wipe the seat clean.

Before long, a policeman passed by and noticed the ruckus amongst the busy streets.

"What's going on here?" The policeman asked with a dominant voice. Although Axle had no idea who this man was, he knew the man was superior compared to the rest of these humans. People seemed afraid of him and quickly walked away while some still stayed with curiosity.

Axle wanted to speak up, but one of the four hooligans took the spotlight and let out a petrifying cry. His trembling voice added on to his acting as he pointed towards Axle and tattled the story - while victimizing himself. "That guy over there beat us up after robbing our phones! He was checking those two girls out and we were kind enough to tell him to not do that because it was disturbing the girls! He didn't like what we said and even beat us!"

"Is that true?" The officer reached for his handcuffs and was ready to arrest him.

Axle stared at them with no sense of urgency. "That is not true. I was trying to communicate with those two girls using telepathy. These guys came over and asked me if I still want my eyes. They threatened to gouge my eyes out and kill me. I was only defending myself since he raised his hand on my shoulder. Also, they were trying to attack me using this weapon, so I snatched it to protect myself. What wrong am I in?"

"He even dislocated my friend's arm!!!" One of them deliberately revealed bruises on his body to the officer, while Axle continued sitting leisurely.

"And I also fixed his arm. I apologized as well because it was an accident. You guys only wanted money from me." Axle sneered when the man mentioned the twisted arm incident.

"Officer, you must believe us!!! Look at how badly we've been beaten! If we were the ones lying, then shouldn't it be him who is lying on the floor instead of us? Plus, if he didn't beat us, would we have tossed ourselves into each other and injure each other?" The same underling tried persuading the officer once again.

"Young man, show me your identification card. You are under arrest for causing harm to another's body. Raise your arms in the air and let me search your body to check for any weapons." The officer demanded Axle to follow his instructions, but Axle refused to cooperate as he did nothing wrong. In the underworld, Eros always treated him fairly and listened to both sides of the story. Facing such injustice, Axle refused to listen to his commands.

According to the guide, being arrested means he would be thrown in jail. The description of jail is similar to the prison in the underworld where prisoners couldn't get out unless proven innocent. However, earth was a bit different.

In the guide, it was said that officers would force prisoners to work all day and eat bland food. Some officers would beat prisoners too. Thinking about the consequences of following the officer back, Axle definitely wouldn't suffer like that!

"Yeah, check his I.D card! If he doesn't have one, he is probably an illegal immigrant or something!!! Get his ass in jail!! We are good citizens!" The underling shouted.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense. Young man, take out your I.D. card. Give me your name, phone number, and address." The officer took out his cellphone and faced it towards Axle, requesting for his information. Seeing the weird keypad on the bright screen, Axle gasped and shoved the device away from him!

The officer grunted in displease when Axle pushed away the device. "What? Are you trying to attack me? Do you know attacking an officer could give you some time in jail? Hurry up with your identification card! I don't have all day."

"Then, why don't those guys have to show their identification card? They were the ones who started provoking me. Since I was defending myself, it isn't fair for you to only ask me for an identification card." Axle stuffed his hand in his pocket as he argued.

Hearing murmurs from the crowd around them, the officer waved his hand at the four men. "You four! Come here and show me your ID cards!"

A smirk tilted on Axle's lip as the four men stepped out with their ID cards in their hands. Sliding his hand out of his pocket, Axle snapped his fingers in front of the officer. Suddenly, the chaotic noises came to a pause and everyone froze in their places.

"So, this flat plate is called an ID card. Hmmm?" Axle pulled the plastic rectangular card out of the four men's hands. He studied the picture on the cards and compared them to their faces. "Hah, it doesn't even look like them. Oh well, I have none of this information. Plus, my face looks too good to stick to this plate. Eh, I'll make a prettier one later."

Turning around, Axle noticed the device in the officer's hand. He stretched out his index finger and gently poked the rectangular object. The officer's hands shook lightly from his sudden move against the device. "Hmm..so it doesn't attack when I push it. Then, how does this weapon work? Do I have to hold it?"

He carefully slid the cellphone out of the officer's hand and inspected the item. After several minutes of investigating the product in his hand, he started tapping the screen to see what the item was used for.
