Getting reborn again

My body burned down being split in half by the hero's sword.

The blood flowed down making a small pool beneath my crisped body.

My eyes turned blurry as my soul left its physical form.

All of them rejoiced in happiness before the impending doom fell upon them.

Maybe that's how I went away... I have really no idea if it happened like what I just imagined.

I was dead already so I have no way of knowing that.

But it must be something similar to that, right?

No that anything matters now.

Sigh... what actually happened at that moment, I felt so powerless. I wasn't even able to sense the sword slash coming at me.

It was truly a pathetic way to die when I was boasting about killing them all.

Now I don't even know what happened there. The path to ascension has opened up, so they should leave 'her' now, right?

They have no reason to keep her still imprisoned, right?

Fuck this is frustrating.

I cannot shake this feeling... I feel so disappointed in myself.

Looking back on it, my life has always been like that...

Born on Earth, I never had an easy life.

If I were to summarise it all in one word, then that would be...

...Average.

I was a completely average guy.

It would be a lie to say I was trash, but nothing in me was anything extraordinary.

Very few friends were the same as me and a loving and caring family.

It wasn't a bad life at all until...

An accident changed my life.

When I was just 15 years old, I lost both my parents in a factory accident. They used to work in a steel factory. Due to a malfunction, hot melted steel burst out from the machine and they both died in that accident.

Some other people were also killed in that, but that accident changed my life.

It made me an orphan.

I had no contact with my relatives, so at their funeral, I was the only family attending.

The neighbours were good to me as I was just a child and helped me in my bad times. They took care of me for a while but that didn't last forever.

And I was well aware of it. I knew I was alone now and had to think for myself, so I began to do just that.

At first, I tried to do many part-time jobs, which was enough to at least help me with my expenses.

The landlord was a kind person so he didn't ask me for any rent for a year or two. And then, one day, news arrived that he passed away as well; he was diabetic and was quite stressed as well and suffered through a heart attack.

I went to attend his funeral. He was really a kind guy, but that day I realised that he was the only kind one in his family.

As you can expect, they knew about me living rent-free even though I was earning a fine for me, so they asked me for my rent for the whole two years right there.

I was quite surprised that they were doing that in front of his dead body. Then I realised that none of them were feeling any remorse at all.

At that time, I had no way of paying the amount of the rent for the whole two years as I had almost zero savings; all of my money went to my food and my education.

It was at that time, she arrived to help me out.

My teacher in my college and also my adoptive sister.

If not for her, maybe I would have arrived in this world very soon...

Oh, I almost forget about all of this... I am originally not from this planet, I transmigrated here with my original body from that world.

I died at the age of 20 in my world. I do not remember the cause behind that, as I never knew how I died.

Strange, yeah, but that's what it is.

The only regret that I had dying there was... I had a family member there, though not by blood, but she was like a mother to me.

And that same thing happened again, I am leaving this world, too and leaving behind a woman crying for me.

Haaa...

I don't even know why I am remembering all this now.

I feel hollow in my heart... but do I even have a heart right now?

Sigh, all I see... I don't even see anything.

Am I going to be reborn again? Like before?

Did I go through this same process?

Why do I feel so lonely again?

As a demon king, I was alone for most of my life.

This title of demon king was given to me after that battle to get the thing in the prophecy.

My strength engraved fear in their heart, and I received the title of a demon, and Eleanor received the title of hero in that same battle.

But I wasn't this all-powerful from the start; I was too weak, so weak that even a child could beat me up.

I later realised that this was due to the environment we all grew up in.

I was from Earth, where the concept of magic was only in novels, but here, all of that was real.

But what is the point in remembering all of this now?

I feel I am getting drifted into an unknown realm, but even that can be just my imagination, wait... do I even have a brain right now?

I wonder if all the people who die go through this same process, do they also have thoughts like mine?

Maybe this place is something where people get to remember their regrets... a way to the hell maybe?

Or maybe this is a path to reincarnation, and I am in that line now, but I cannot see others like me.

Hell, many more must have died for me. So I cannot be alone, right?

Now that reminds me... I felt such a strong presence when I was ascending... what was that?

Were they the ones who were in a higher realm after ascending?

Were those gods and goddesses that those saints and popes used to worship?

If that was the case, then... they definitely wouldn't have let me ascend have read many novels with those settings.

And with the way I have been with those greedy motherfuckers and how I have destroyed many of their temples... ain't no way they are gonna let that by without doing anything to me.

This is enraging me even more... so I died without having any way to fight against them?

"Finally... haaa, I was getting so frustrated. Finally, I can be with my husband again~"

As I was reminiscing my past regrets, a very loving and soothing voice filled my non-existent ear.

It felt as if it wasn't the first time I had heard this voice, a feeling of deep love and a bit of fear filled my heart.

"I waited so long to be with you again, husband~"

Then I felt a soft sensation on my back as if I was embraced by someone. I wanted to open my mouth and ask who she was... but I had no mouth.

Fuck, do I even exist, or is this all an imagination of my brain?

"So long... I waited for so long to be with you. Haah... my honey."

I felt as if someone was sniffing all over me and licking at my inappropriate places.

But then again, I couldn't say or do anything.

Slurp~

"Mmmp... delicious."

Now, I could even hear the slurping noises.

"Just a bit more and you will be reborn in this world. At that time, I am not going to leave you even for a second. So just gets born already, husband. Your wife is getting lonely without you."

Saying that, that voice disappeared as if it wasn't there to begin with.

But what does she mean by getting reborn again? And who is this husband of hers? I don't remember ever getting married to anyone.

But I don't feel any threat from her, this is getting frustrating now.

I don't even remember how long has it been since I have been in this dark realm.

And just as my thoughts were getting jumbled upon that mysterious or an imaginary voice, I felt as if I was getting pushed by an unknown force.

It continued for a long time, and after some time, I began to hear some noises.

They weren't clear but I was sure I was hearing them right.

Then suddenly, I felt as if someone touched my head... no, no, someone was pulling them.

I felt the hand of a woman and she pulled me out from that space. And now I can hear all of them clearly.

"Push further, madam. The baby is about to come out." It was the voice of an old lady.

"I am here with you, Eleanor. Don't worry and do your best. You have been keeping him in for 2 whole years and now he is finally getting born."

A familiar voice, I thought. I have definitely heard that one before. But even more than that, Eleanor...? Wasn't that the name of that hero?

"Argghhh... haaahhh..."

Then came a grunting voice.

All of this was enough for me to realise that I was getting reborn.

And after a little push and pull, my whole body was finally out.

My eyes were still closed, but I could tell that I wasn't in any dark space any longer.

But I wasn't willing to open my eyes as well. And why was that?

I do not want what I am thinking right now to get real.

I cannot even pray to those gods that I was just cursing now.

Fuck no.

But I never knew what I was going to face in this life.
