Rebirth and Meeting Fipi

BEFORE 4 YEARS /2 YEARS TO GO FOR THE APOCALYPSE—

YEAR — 2030

THIRD POV—

It was raining heavily. In a big mansion, we could a young woman of about 20 years thrashing in her own bed as if experiencing some kind of nightmare.

She was sweating heavily. Her height was about 5 feet, 4 inches. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She had a terrified and disbelieving look on her face. She had long, beautiful auburn hair and light violet-coloured eyes. She touched her face while murmuring to herself. That woman's name was Elena Acton.

ELENA POV—

Where am I? I looked around my surroundings to see that I was back in my room. How the hell is even that possible? I remember that I died. I am cent percent fucking sure that I died. How can I be in my room if I committed suicide by drinking poison? Is this some kind of illusion? Am I in hell? Are they torturing me by showing my bad memories?

I looked around and saw my room to be as it was before the end of the world. No, I have to check it again. As soon as I got up from my bed, my legs gave up when I was trying to walk. My limbs were numb. I don't even know how much time had passed since I walked again with my legs. During my captivity, I was unable to walk due to the weakness of my body. Also, my legs were not fully healed after being broken.

With much difficulty, I stood up and dragged my body with the help of my legs. I took a pin out of my drawer. Ok, given the circumstances a normal person would come to the conclusion that I thought but I want to be sure. I don't want to get my hopes high. After reaching to this conclusion, I pierced my skin with the pin. Argh! It hurts. This can only mean one thing. Somehow, I have travelled back in time. I have reborn back in the past. But at what time? I checked the calendar and found out that I am back in 2026. Impossible... I put my hands on my face, slowly trying to digest the fact that I have truly returned to the past. Even if I got reborn in the past that doesn't mean that I like this situation. I wanted a second chance, another shot at life. Not this cheap version of second chance. I don't want this.

*Chuckles bitterly* Is the god finally showing mercy to me after all my sufferings? Why? Why now? If he would have shown this mercy of his before, I wouldn't have suffered this much. If he had given me some powers, I would have defended myself from all those people who wanted to hurt me. I didn't have to bear the humiliation and the crude comments passed to me by them. I am not saying make me invincible, I wanted some powers to protect me. So, why now God? Do you want to gloat that you are so kind and gracious by giving me a second chance? Or do you want to laugh at me? Am I a toy to you?

Back then, if you had shown me mercy... for even a single time... I didn't have to kill myself. I am confused whether I should curse you or thank you. Should I be happy or sad?

"Tell me God, you want a repeat telecast of my pathetic, useless, meaningless life or what? What do you want from me? I yelled into the thin air. Nobody answered me. I started laughing loudly like some lunatic but a moment I started sobbing. All the built-up emotions that have been in me all these years got released in the form of this. It was unsightly sight but I couldn't stop myself.

"Please don't cry, I will help you," said an unknown voice.

I stopped crying and looked around me to find the source of the voice. I found out nobody was there. Then, suddenly a creature, something like a bird came in front of my sight.

"Well, it was me, the great Fipi," said the bird. Ok, it's final that I have gone mad. How the hell could a bird talk? And its name is Fipi... I don't even want to comment on it.

The bird said, "Hey! Why the hell are you making fun of my name? It's a great name, I tell you. Also, if you are talking to yourself, you should not say it aloud. It just ruins the idea of self-talking."

Upon releasing what the bird said, I blushed in embarrassment. What he said was correct, I really should avoid saying out loud while thinking to myself.

Now, I think I know what's happening to me. I have read in the novel before this phenomenon before. This bird is like some system which grants powers through gacha or levelling or by some other type.

I asked, "You are a system, aren't you?"

The bird gave me a look of disbelief. He said, "How do you know that?" then suddenly a prideful look emerged on his face, "as expected of me, I found a very intelligent host."

This bird is kind of funny, I guess. Huh,after meeting Fipi, I am even more confused than before. I took a deep breath. I gazed at him and said, "Fipi, I have some questions and I want answers. Don't you even dare to lie me."
