Chapter 9: Test result and discrepancy

Ace Smith P.O.V

On 13th May 2025 3 weeks after I took my exam I was playing the game GTA 6 in my new gaming room I was never a big gamer in my last life but with the top-notch setup I could get in this life I grew fond of gaming while gaming I was talking to Alexa I don't know why I never thought about discussing this with her before maybe I was so comfortable in my new environment that it didn't cross my mind but since the start of the summer, more and more questions filled my mind so I decided that today was a food day to get these answered.

-So Alexa you tell me that even if I was reborn on the same date as my death day on my original Earth, things are different because people can be born after or even before their counterpart self that I knew of from my original world?

-Yes Lotus that's right each different Earth that's in the multiverse is evolving differently people make different choices which leads to different outcomes.

-Humm that explains a lot of things I've noticed over the years I was wondering why so many musicians, actresses, and known people were not there or were born a generation before or after I even noticed a guy born 100 years before his birth in my first life.

-I know I am a special case because Persephone let me keep my memories of my past life was it because of that that Persephone reincarnated me on another Earth in normal circumstances do soul get reincarnated on their original Earth?

-Yes each Earth got its own reincarnation wheels your case was special there have been multiple cases like yours but they rarely happened also there can only be one reincarnated soul from another Earth at a time on a planet until he re-enters the wheels of reincarnation and be considered a soul of this plane just like you when you die you won't be sent to your original earth reincarnation wheels but you will become a soul from this Earth. Also, do you remember when you asked me about your favorite author, Eiichirō Oda and I said he was not born on this earth well his soul got sent to a higher plane to heal his wounded soul because just like you someone made a mistake but his soul didn't take it that well he probably won't be reincarnated for another 100 to 200 years! 

-I see this is fascinating and I feel better about One Piece now, I didn't think about it back then I don't want to be a thief I should have asked you this a long time ago I was doing research yesterday and I noticed one of my favorite actresses was nowhere to be found that's why I had so many questions this morning thanks for answering me, Alexa. 

-With how excited you were when you found out that you could write One Piece for the people here I doubt you asked yourself those questions(giggles)

-Yes I was negligent sigh 

With my questions answered I felt a lot better i knew my knowledge from my past life would not be very useful now but I prefer it that way I'll carve my own path That is probably why I put a pen name on One Piece it was not a work from me my subconscious didn't want recognition for something that was not of my doing. Still, I will give all the money that One Piece is making to charity I will need to talk to my Uncle about this since I don't have control over this money yet my Uncle told me that he was waiting until my 18th birthday but that won't be necessary anymore. When I thought this I felt a burden lift off my chest seem like I was still feeling guilty about it, good thing I decided to talk to Alexa this morning alright ''back to my game now'' I thought. 

I played for 2 hours before getting hungry I made myself lunch and then made my way toward my garage the thing I had ordered for my Plymouth came in yesterday which included a dashboard panel, seats and upholstery, center console, door and trim panels, headliner and pillars, steering wheel, floor mats, shift knob and pedals so I was pretty excited to start on this, not having school freed up my schedule so much that my car project was almost done the only things left was the special matte black paint needed and the windows my Uncle ordered he said that bulletproof windows were needed he also orders a special type of steel sheet that had a layer of kevlar in the middle and coat with carbon fiber I don't know about armor piercing bullets but against little caliber, this car was 100% bulletproof this car is probably now worth as much as a base Agera RS which is 2.5 million mines must have cost more because it is fully equipped.

The reason my Uncle upgraded my Plymouth was that I told him I would ship the car to come with me when I left for university and I told him I didn't know which university I would be going to but that I was going in the U.S for sure that made him panic a little I think well I can't blame him even on this Earth firearms were still a problem in the U.S and since it is for my safety I don't want him to be worried all the time I didn't say anything and let him be any way the car will look the same just more sturdy... a lot more. (giggles) I started by opening all the packages I deceived and then started putting everything together after 3 hours or so I was done maybe next week I would be able to take her for a spin I thought. 

If Lena was hearing my thoughts she you call me a creep again because every car that I got and will get is female she said that I was nuts and that a car was a car there was no gender ... I begged to differ in my opinions a car as a soul and these souls are all pretty ladies for me hahaha! When I talked about this with my Uncle he nodded at me with a glance, I knew we shared a bond on this while Mammy was pinching the bridge of her nose she must have been through this with Anthony or my dad ... or both already I could tell she was feeling defeated like she had accepted that the men's of this family were a lost cause, well if you ask me car lovers all over the world were probably thinking the same thing as me and my Uncle. Lena was just looking at me with a weird gaze like I was an alien of sorts this made my Uncle stop nodding his head and try to revert back to his serious face, humph what a simp and he didn't even realize it yet, poor him when me and Mammy finally succeed in putting them together he won't be the one calling the shot in this couple .... well like 90% of the world married man's you could say.

Getting out of the garage I made a beeline toward my room and hopped in the shower after getting all cleaned up I took some clean clothes to change myself into, I looked at the mirror and noticed that my hair was getting a little too long for my liking ill ask Mammy to cut them tomorrow after exiting my room I decided to watch a movie in the mini-cinema we got in the basement it at been a long time since the last time I had watch one I love watching old movie, especially the ones were actor from my previous life were supposed to star in but on this Earth, another actor got the role or a script had changed because the writer was younger or older than what he had been in my first life rediscovering all those movies was always entertaining like I was watching something completely new and in some case it was really the like this like the Jurassic franchise in this world wasn't filmed until 2015 and it was not Steven Spielberg but James Cameron who directed it needless to say it was like having an Avatar quality movie but with the universe of Jurassic it was a visual feast, but now I was about to watch Jerry Maguire fun fact about this movie is that unlike the one that I knew Tom Hanks was the main character and not Tom Cruise also Lucy Liu was nowhere to be found wich is still puzzling me the research I did yesterday was in fact about her that's why I noticed the change in Jerry Maguire movie, alright lets watch this I thought I sat on the sofa started the movie closed my phone and start immersing myself in the movie.

2 hours and 20 minutes later I was lost in thoughts while the credits were rolling this movie had a different vibe with Tom Hanks as his main star it was not bad by any means but it sure had a different taste to it Hanks brought a certain goofiness to the character that Cruise was not able to bring which in my opinion made Jerry much more loveable, I stood up turned off the DVD player and the TV came out of the cinema room direction the kitchen since I was hungry as soon as I turned on my cellphones a bunch of notifications came in 13 missed calls and 46 text messages ... I looked at the time on the screen and it showed 6h44 pm no wonder they must have been looking for me since 6 the time at which we usually sit down to eat I clicked on the last missed calls on the list which was Lena's number press her name put my phone on my ears I didn't even have the time to hear the second ringtone that Lena had already respond.

-Where are you young men? she said with a tone that told me she was pissed.

-I was watching a movie in the basement and I turned off my phone during the movie I'm sorry! I am walking toward the kitchen now!

-Alright next time you want to watch a movie unbothered just warn us also don't make your way toward the kitchen yet since we weren't able to find you we postponed the supper I will ask the chef to start cooking now and also your Uncle wants to see you he is in his office.

-Ok see you later Lena I love you!

-humph and with that she hung up 

what does my Uncle want to see me for I wondered don't tell me the windows for my car will be delayed ... no calm down Ace you don't know what he wants yet, I arrived in front of my Uncle office door and walked in without knocking look at him doing something on his computer and directly ask him.

-Tell me old man that the windows for my car did not get delayed?

-What are you talking about? said my Uncle

-Lena told me you wanted to talk to me I thought something bad had happened and this is one of the worst things I could think of, I mused with my hand under my chin.

-I know you love your car Ace but you are on the next level now heck if you could you would probably marry them!

-You bet I would!

I said with a serious face before cracking up in loud laughter seeing the disbelieved face of my Uncle hahaha this was priceless realizing i had messed with him he sighed while massaging both side of his head which prompt another round of laughter from me, after taking my laughters under control i asked him 

-So why did you want to see me Uncle?

he took two envelope from one of his drawers hand them to me and said.

-Youre result are out i thought you might wanted to take a look he said with a smirk!
