the day of my death

staying on my deathbed i stared at the ceiling, i knew it was coming so i was kind of prepared for it

i had no regrets in life, heck i managed to live for 90 years, already gotten more than enough

but... i still slightly fear it, its like when you are getting ready for a exam you see?

"grandpa..." one of the youngsters is still here huh?

"go on, go on, your mother should be pretty upset now, go and help her" i told the kid

"but grandpa... you will be alone..." oh what a sweat kid, but you bowling your eyes out seems to be taking more from my life than i have

"go on, help your mom, turn on the tv for me before you go" i offed the kid and started writing in one of my old notebooks, i had it  for a few years now, just writing about a fantasy world that these youngsters are into, i like the world i made alot... but i haven't made any stories in it

while thinking about what could happen to me i unconsciously wrote on the last page of the notebook 

"so was the author of this book was reborn into this new world"

staring at the book in my hands i couldn't help but laugh, not like it would come true

i put the notebook away and stared at the tv seeing what it was showing, the world around me was slowly going dark, so i listened to the words on the tv

"THE FORMULA TO IMMORTALITY WAS DISCOVERED, THE GVERMENT WISHES TO GIVE THOSE ABOVE 90 YEARS OF AGE AN IMMORTAL LIFE DUE TO THEIR WSIDON"

fuck

i shouldn't have died should i

what a fucking joke

fuck this shit man, and i was talking so enlightened, i think i shouted the word fuck before dying, what great last words i left behind, should pat myself on the back for that

after life is pretty interesting, there are like stars and galaxies i can stare at while drifting through the void... still makes me angry that i have died... could have probably lived for 1 week extra if i held on

ohhhhh andromeda and milky way just hit each other... wait... isn't the sun already dead than... how long am i drifting for

hmmm... there is a slight light around the corner of my vision, weird, have i gone senile.... was i senile already? 

uhhh the lights covering all of my vision, wait am i going to heaven? wait isn't heaven pretty nice? yeah i like it, heaven sounds nice, probably meet all of my family members there, it has been a long time since i seen my mom...

ahhh i can feel something really soft in my embrace... mom?

"mom.." i heard my voice, yes, this is heaven

HEAVEN, i started to tear up, it has been really long since i have seen my mom, i slowly opened my eyes to be welcomed by... a body pillow?

"HOLY SHIT, I DONT LIKE HEAVEN" i ran back frantically, looking around me i realized this was a bedroom, a pretty nice one as well

looking down on my arms that looked full of vigor and energy i understood at once what happened

this is my reincarnation, so i sat down on the edge of the bed, as far away from the body pillow as i could and started inspect my body

i found a phone in one of my pockets, i never saw this brand or design before, which was weird considering the luxurious place im in

turning the phone camera on i started to inspect my face, 

oh a young lad with dirty blonde hair, and black eyes, a nice looking one as well as i was busy inspecting my body the influx of memories hit me, making me yelp in pain, 

yup this is my reincarnation after all i probably remembered my past life when hugging... that thing

ugh... so im a fallen noble by the name of morzek huh?

it seems when i was 10 my family was fallen apart, my father and mother died, resulting in me inheriting their stuff, but nobody can expect a 10 year old to be able to manage a household full of servants and stuff nicely, so the family fell apart, it seems that this new world that im in, is pretty advanced i dare say, as they are habiting three planets, although it has a slight problem of tiered society

  hmmm... it seems that each planets belongs to a certain tier of sociaty, with nobels in asner, more ordinary folk in begas, and the gangs, no lifes, and poor and criminals end in urnos, coincidentally where i am 

well i could've coped easily, i mean i spent a long time in the void drifting through space, but well... this is a book i wrote, so its really hard for me to digest

but well... this is my life now

with a sigh i left to shower, not before tucking the body pillow, which unquestionably made me furrow

"i need to get this weird habit out of me... and throw this thing away"

while showring my body i was quite a bit conflicted

this is year 7658 of the great calendrer, i am as if now 12 years old, it seems i dont have much of my parents fortunes left after spending it all on... questionable stuff

a sigh escaped from my mouth, from what i know from my previous life wont help me in this post modern era, heck i can be considered retarded without the memories of my new life

i only know one way, to get ack on my luxury life as a noble, that is to abuse the knowledge i know of the world setting, sadly i didn't write any personal stories, only the history and the things that will happen and are happening, and some myths, yet those are enough for me

in this world, there are a few unnatural powers, such as faith related powers that will appear shortly, powers related to the body, and some powers of sorcery that have yet to appear, and the most important of them all, which is what makes nobles different from ordinary folk is jikan, the closer one is to the asner(the planet of nobles) the more powerful it is, its the backbone of many powers and many powers depend on it

it has 3 abilities primally, the power to slow down time for yourself, the power to empower your mind, and the power to heal yourself or others from injuries

it is devided into 3 tires, red, silver, and gold, as a fallen noble, my jikan will turn from gold to red in a few years, red being lowest tier, and gold highest

of course not if i have anything to say about it

i need to asses my capabilities, and check my connections to nobles and high folk, so i checked my contacts of course

contacts : 1 

name : ex fiance

wow such amazing noble was i, let me delete that real quick

i swear people in diecord know more politicians than i do

anyways scrap getting carried into noblity, i need to revise my plans

in 2 months i need to join a faith to gain power, and to gain power through the churchs? oh i know a amazing way, yet why would i need power?

well there is this thing called arenas which will appear after faiths, and what can i use them for? to climb the ladders of society and regain my nobility of course

this noble self(me) started laughing while holding my dear concubine(the body pillow)

"ew fuck go away" i need to seriously work on the weird and  unsightly habits my  noble self  has picked up over the years...

sigh... i should probably just get some food rations first

wearing clothes and going outside of my apartment i took note of the all of the random hobos just talking in the hallways, interestingly they didn't mind the small 12 year old casually walking around, of course they guarded their pockets

going outside i couldn't help but marvel at the cyberpunkish sight Infront of me, it was simply... beautiful

with neon signs all around and thousands and thousands of people going around in their cars or feet, with replaced arms, skins and feet

this is what i wanted to create, and... its beautiful... of course i had to come out of my daze after a buff guy bumped into me, my noble tongue was about to curse all 18th generations of that guys bloodline in ways i couldn't believe was possible, but i held myself back, pulling down my hoodie, i went to the closest convivence store i knew of, and got 30 packs of instant noodles, the convince store owner even pitied me and put another one for me saying i shouldn't... show it to the rest of the kids and eat it alone?

uh... im going to die out of sodium overdose my guy put a apple in there instead... oh right its a exotic species here

sigh... and so my journey to fast has began, putting down my food for the next 2 months down on the corner i turned on the tv and put it on news

"never again will i miss on news" 

and so i cooked some noodles, ate and, kneeled in a praying position for 6 hours before i had the urge to soil so i had to take a quick visit to bathroom before going in a praying position again

if i wanted to have any chance of succeeding and not just becoming a hobo, i had to train, now why should i train in such a way?

because the reequipment to join a faith are very weird, in the next 2 months 5 main faiths will apear, "light of order"

"seekers of knowledge"

"eternal servants"

"order of corruption"

"vow of destruction"

from above to below they became more evil, with eternal servants being neutral, i wanted to join light of order, which required me to pray without moving or using my jikan as a supplement for 30 days, i had to pray for 30 days straight, but damn well its worth it for the benefits of joining them

each faith has a spefic way to join them, for example to join seekers of knowledge, you have to be obsessed with knowledge so much they come to scout you, or eternal servants, where you have to stay still for 6 months straight(of course you can eat or use your jikan as a supplement) or to join order of corruption you have to manage to live in a disease ridden place for 30 days, or sacrifice 10 hearts to join vow of destruction

there are minor religions as well but they are way smaller than these 5, light of order being one of the hardest to join as well

so here i am, training my fasting skills using noodles, due to me being a noble with a decaying gold jikan i have it a bit easier

and so like that, a whole month passed, and so did my reserve of food, forcing me to live through my jikan
