Chapter 2 A Deal after death

After a unknown amount of time the elder hear a voice

"Hey wake up , hey kid are you listening open your eyes".

The bald elder puzzled by the voice and assuming it to be the voice of the grime reaper or such similar being open his eyes only to find himself in a completely surreal place.

The bald elder was floating in space, he could see innumerable celestial bodies all around him.

And amid such a breath taking scene was the silhouette surrounded by light from the celestial bodies, making it hard to make of any features, but the bald elder had a strange feeling that the silhouette had sliver hair and meant him no harm.

The bald elder was bewilder by this, but before he could react he head the ethereal yet firm voice on the sliver hair silhouette

"Hey kid we don't have a lot of time and we have a lot of work to do".

Without giving the bald elder continue to speak.

"A Rank 9, warrior varying stats almost equal to a greater god, kid not bad not bad aah.. soul points nearing the limits excellent must be a great warrior lets see cause of death master-slave contract ha..? what bull shit somebody with the strength of a greater god is a slave hey kid do you have some kind of weird fetish or something. How could someone with your strength be a slave do you realize just how blizzard is it? Hey kid answer me will you".

The elder mind turned blank as the question hit his sour sport but instantly, he tried arrange his word proper as he was scared out of his wits because of the words spoken by the sliver haired silhouette in front of him, to be able to read a person information and, even be able to see things like accumulated soul point and reason for death was not something anybody can do, not even the so called 'gods'.

But all the effort proved to be useless as even without the reply of the elder the sliver haired man continued speaking.

"As I have said before we don't have much time, or to be blunt you don't have much time before you soul disappear so nod your head if you agree and shake if you disagree, and don't try to speak as you cant so, shall we start?".

The elder was bewildered and perplexed about the whole situation but having little choice he nodded his head.

"Keen and decisive you are good, now to putting the whole matter in simple words, it goes something like this you are dead but I save your soul from dispersing".

"Why you may ask simple you have something that I want and if you die I don't know when I will have the chance to get my on the it again. So I saved your soul in order to carry out the transaction then coming to the main point are you are willing to trade with me".

"Kid you don't suffer any loss as that item is of no use to you and while accepting the deal I will save you life for free, isn't it a great deal".

The elder now had to choose between two choices, a sure chance to live again in exchange of something he had no use of or to die. The choice was pretty clear and even a idiot could know which one to choose.

The elders unhesitating nodded to indicate his choice. The silver haired man nodded his head while laughing to express his satisfaction of the elders decision.

"Then lets move further".

Saying so he flicked his hand and a rough shaped white rock appeared in between them both, the slivered haired man snapped his fingers and the white rock started to spin violently slowly reduced in size and changed its color from white to black as if its layered were peeled, finally the rock was reduced from that of an new born head to an adult fist with a black sheen instead of its original white.

The black stone flew into the slivered hair man hand, the man stared at it with a strong desired to possess it.

"Now then lets talk business with this much you can get anything or even become a greater god, now think of what you want and I shall see what and how much can you gain".

When a man is given a chance that he wish for anything and that his wish shall will fulfilled, more often that not they don't wish for riches and fame but a chance to correct there mistake or not make the choice that made them regret in the future, a chance to live or die without regret nor any unfulfilled desired.

The elder thought of many desires but at finally he wondered on something that seemed impossible a wish, to change his circumstance and wash away his regrets, a time he wished to change in the chapter of his life that he remorse the most, and if possible he wanted to relive and change it.

As the elder was still reminiscing of his past and think for a appropriate wish to ask for, the slivered haired man spoke again hurriedly as if fearing the bald elder may change his mind. Without consenting the elder and giving him no change to react.

"Alright granted".

The elder eyes grew wide due to the shock and happy by the words that promised him the impossible chance, to be able to rectify his mistake, the elder within his heart had a strong feeling t that the man in front of him was not joking but could really keep his promise even though it seem impossible. The elder didn't not know the reason behind this strong sense of assurance it was as if the man in front of could never lie and fulfil his promise. It was the first time the elder met the sliver hair man but his guts told him to belief and trust this man.

Without caring for the elders shocked and silver aired man snapped his fingers again, as if reacting he clicked his finger and the black rock disappeared.

"Now I have also given a gift for the remaining amount of stone, think of these as bonus for your hardships, so this closes the deal lets bid our farewell ah…before I forget, you do seem have a luck for obtaining infinite ruins, so if you ever come across them again just think of me and I will know. This will be fun to watch kid don't disappoint me even after giving you these many benefits. Good then, return."

Together with the word 'return', the surreal surroundings disappeared. The surrounding scene black and his vision field start becoming darker.
