A mysterious voice

He held the bottle that contains industrial grade acid and as he was about to down the whole bottle, he uttered,

"The gods must've cursed me.. I, Spencer, has been a hardworking and honest man, I may have failed and made a lot of shortcomings in this life but I had remained faithful and unswayed in my decisions. But, what is there to marvel about with such meager achievements, devoid of accomplishments? Do I even deserve this? Should this streak of misfortune continue? I am tired of this life.."

Spencer has left everything behind as held the bottle of acid in his hands when happy memories began resurfacing. The memories before he started high school, where everything is at its rightful place and only a feeling of bliss and carefree, is all he could think of back then. This made Spencer hysterical and laugh like a maniac.

"HAHAHA even at this time, I still think of such bullshit."

Spencer no longer hesitated and downed the bottle in one gulp. In seconds, he began convulsing.

"Pain is a temporary sensation. I had felt pain before god-knows when. Now I shall be free from this seemingly never ending pain. It all stops now. This good-for-nothing has already resigned to his fate. I regret everything I had done, if opportunity allowed me of rebirth, I would make sure to be the best in everything I do and not lead my life astray".

As Spencer's eyes turned white and foam began to form in his mouth, his soul has long left his body and is travelling with his conscious. Amidst the memories that flashes back to when he was alive, a mysterious voice filled with power entered his conscious.

"A young man filled with regret and desire to turn into a new leaf? Or perhaps a coward oaf who could no longer bear the pain he had suffered through the years based on his own incapability? Such cowardice is beyond help!" The mysterious voice scoffed and mocked Spencer.

The mysterious voice was about to fade when the owner of the voice was shocked beyond belief,

"Hmm?!! Ho-ho-ho... What is this? A man who has not lied in his lifetime and stood for his principle of honesty? Interesting.. I've been searching for such qualities for a long time to assimilate my soul with and inherit my heritage. Never in a thousand years would I have thought that I would come across a lost lamb who shares the same sentiment and hate for the gods who reign supreme. You are the one indeed! HA-HA-HA!"

The mysterious voice brings chills to anyone's spine, it is a voice that seems to come from the depths of the underworld and gives a feeling of being submerged to the depths of the sea. Spencer's soul shuddered and a feeling of being breathless assaulted him. As everything faded to darkness, a crisp single sound of a hammer that hits an anvil was heard.

"What in the world-?!!!"

Spencer's soul has been dragged to a void where all he could see is darkness, he could hear various sounds that resembles that of a computer performing algorithms. A prompt has jolted his conscious and a message telephatically was relayed through his mind, it's as if a robotic voice echoes deep within his soul.

DING!

Spencer, before he knew it, was in a body devoid of impurities created by the system. A full remake had been done and the system peeked at the depths of his soul for what Spencer thinks is the best time he had came across in his life. He was transported to the time when he's 16 years old and about to enter highschool for the first time.

"My head hurts.. Everything feels strange.. Where am I?"

Spencer is back to his 16 year old self, he's lying down in his bed in his family's house like nothing bizarre had happened. He even wondered if everything was a dream and began pinching and giving a light slap on his head, but alas, everything is indeed real.

"How could this be even possible? Has the gods shown pity on me? It is clear as a day that I feel regret in everything I had experienced and I had been especially remorseful. Why am I given a chance?"

His eyes couldn't hold back the tears that is eager to come out and he started to thank the gods for bestowing him a new life. "Hah! It's real! I knew I was not left out! The gods have taken pity in this poor one! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to start over!"

Spencer is excited to get out of bed and is preparing to kowtow to the gods when a transparent window slid with a swish in front of him.
