WHERE IT STARTED

Have you ever wondered what's it like to be reincarnated or transmigrated in some game or story, or maybe in another world?

Of course you did. And that's the same for Mikel but that's all in the past for he realized that such thing does not exist and decided to accept it.

Mikel is just your average person, someone who worked hard in school and to be accepted in the company he is working at the moment. Even his looks and body is just average, except for his performance at work which is exceptional.

To make up for what he lack, he developed his self to be a disciplined person.

And a lot of people complimented him for that.

And today he was promoted after two years of working at the company.

"Oh, it's already time to head home." he murmured to himself after looking at the clock.

He organized his table and started to head to the elevator when a voice spoke behind him, "Congratulations on you promotion, Mikel!"

He blushed as he looked at the person behind him.

He scratched his head, "Yeah, thank you!" he answered.

"We applied at the same time but look at you now, you will be my superior by tomorrow." she replied while looking at his back which made him smile.

"I know you can do it too, Annie." he replied while smiling, trying to cheer her up

'DING'

The sound of elevator before opening its doors. "Do you have plans for tonight?" she suddenly asked as they entered the elevator.

"Ah, yes I do." he answered timidly.

"What a shame, I was planning on inviting you for a drink for tonight." she replied disappointedly.

Mikel felt nervous on her reply, "Well we can plan again for another time, right?"

"Yeah, we can." she answered as she took her phone out.

Mikel and Annie applied at the company at the same time, but Annie seems to be lagging behind. Sometimes, Annie gets scolded for her mistakes.

But for some reason, Annie still became an office crush. She would often use her fellow colleagues to her work in the guise of favor and Mikel is one of her favorite puppet.

Their conversation ended at her answer and the elevator was filled with silence, Mikel felt awkward, 'Should I strike a question?' he thought to himself. 'What will I ask? Should I ask what is her plans for tonight?'

His thoughts were interrupted when the elevator sounded and open its door, before he could even speak, Annie walked passed him leaving his lips parted.

Feeling embarrassed he scratched the back of his neck while looking at his shoes.

To be honest, although Mikel is average in looks and body he is a descent man.

After being embarrassed, he started to head for the exit of the building but he was greeted by a receptionist.

"Good evening, Sir. Mikel." a gentle voice echoed through his ears making him smile.

"You too, Angele. Don't head home too late, you know the streets are dangerously at night especially to ladies." he replied with a warm smile.

Angele is a receptionist that never fail to greet him every morning when he gets at work and before he head out.

Just like Annie, Angele is also pretty at she is also a crush of many male employee. Angele is also very friendly to everyone. And sometimes, it make Mikel think that Angele likes him.

'What a delusion.' he thought to himself.

As he continued to walk to the exit, a cold wind greeted him outside the company, "Sheesh! It's a good thing I bought my jacket with me!" he blurted out.

As he walk the through the cold street, he was thinking what to do to celebrate his promotion. Although he answered that he has plans for tonight to Annie, the truth he is de doesn't have any. He just don't want to be in an awkward situation.

Suddenly, Annie crossed his mind and he remembered what she said.

"What a shame, I was planning on inviting you for a drink for tonight."

'gulp'

He gulped as he felt thirsty, you know the kind of thirst that can't be quench by water and alcohol seemed to be the answered.

"It's settled then, I will buy some barbeque and alcohol in the convenience store." he murmured.

Since money will no longer be a problem for him, he decided that splurging some for himself once in a while will not be bad so he happily walk through the cold street.

The convenience store was just two blocks away from his apartment so he decided to head for the convenience store first.

Along the way, he saw a group of men happily drinking while some of them was already unconscious.

He smiled as he walked past them, 'how carefree of them.'

Aside from drinking, he planned to played until late at night a game called 'Lovely Flowers' a reverse harem. Playing this kind of game became his favorite past time back in college he stumbled upon this game while reviewing for his finals.

And it's been two years since he started playing this game, he also invested quiet a lot on this game. Since it was also famous to students, it gained even more attention when it became famous online so it became a hype to play the game.

Holding a plastic of barbeque he entered the convenience store and bought five cans of alcohol and payed at the counter.

On the way home, he encountered two drunk people. They were swaying as they walked together. Unexpectedly their eyes met, the guy with a fattish figure spoke, "What are you looking at, loser?" he asked boastfully.

A cold bead of sweat formed on his forehead, he looked away and decided to ignore them and started to walk.

"Ha! Did you see that? This motherfucker just ignored us!" he angrily shouted making Mikel stop and turn pale.

He turned around and looked at their direction, he could not speak but his mind was in chaotic state.

'What should I do? Should I run?'

'What if they chase after me?'

A lot of what if's bombarded his mind. What can his thin body do? He does not even know how to throw a punch.

When the other guy with well tone body and red hair started to walk at his direction. It seemed that rationality left his body behind. He accidentally dropped the plastic of barbeque and paper bag of alcohol, which made him came back to his senses and started to runaway.

As he runaway, the two started to chase after him which scared him even more so he run faster not minding his surroundings.

As he run nonstop, when he crossed the street a car suddenly appeared with a loud noise.

'BEEEEEP!'

His body suddenly flew, his life flashed before him.

As his body lay at cold concrete, the driver stepped outside his car and looked at him. "Wh -hat the hell? What do I d-do?" the voice blurted out frantically. "Should I just leave him, his also dying!" he pause. "Yes! That is right he is now dying."

"It was his fault anyway!"

He run back to his car and started to drove passed him.

With blood started to gush out from his head a tear fell out of his eye.

'I shouldn't have run!'

'I should have played at home and sleep.'

or maybe, 'I should have just said yes to Annie' he cried.

He had a lot of regrets in his mind. He was also regretting not finishing 'Lovely Roses'.

'I should have just enjoyed my life if I knew I was going to die this way! Worst, I will die virgin!' he thought to himself as his consciousness started to fade.

'This really sucks, I hate this.'

As his last tear fell, he suddenly hear a loud noise. He felt a pang of pain stabbing his body.

"Die!."

"Motherfucker!"

He heard countless cuss words and unintelligible sounds.

He tried to open his eyes and to his surprise a different environment welcomed his sight.

'What the fuck just happened?'

"Didn't I just died?" he murmured when suddenly someone dragged his body making him stand up.

The man wearing a silver armor with beard shouted angrily at him, "What the fuck are doin young man, your not dead yet but you will die at this rate."

He shoved a sword at him. The heavy metal made arch his body down, later on the sword fell at the ground. "If sword does not suit you find another one." he said as he left and slash the neck of the enemy.

"W-hat the h-ell?" He picked up his sword and with all his strength, he found his self running as he shout and swung his sword at the enemies.
