What Happened?

"Ugh…"

I let out a pained groan, my head was hurting extremely badly. Opening my eyes, I found myself to be able to see nothing, literally.

It was dark, dark everywhere, A pitch-black darkness where nothing was visible, not even my own body…and a strange feeling surrounded me. It's as if I am inside a large body of water…drowning helplessly. But I can still breathe.

Faint images of 'my death' flashed before me…and I was able to realize where I am now.

'So this is death, huh kind of dull. '

I thought to myself, sighing.

Now, I had honestly expected either an angel or devil to come before me and state my virtues and sins and lay upon their judgment..which would most likely be hell because I know I did not live the life of a good man... But this is too…dull. Odd, I guess I can say... I felt alive like I was breathing but not at the same time. Something…is strange, but I can't exactly pinpoint it.

 And just then. 

"Agh!"

Another piercing headache! Damn it!

I reflexively raised my hand in order to grab my head because of the pain. I moved them to massage my temples, but then I felt something strange.

'Impossible…'

I could not believe it. I had expected rough, burned skin but…there was nothing of the sort…It was…all perfect skin!

I hurriedly touched my face all over, I had lived my life with my scarred face for so long that it was engraved in my memory…

But there was nothing, the scars, the burns, the horrendous skin…was nowhere. I could feel smooth skin, a direct contrast to the texture that had been engraved in my mind.

'Huh?'

Just then, Another realization dawned upon me.

'My…hand.'

It felt smaller than what I remember. I know of it…I could not have forgotten the size of my hand for god's sake! It is definitely smaller!

Suddenly, As I was still shocked by the sudden revelation, I caught a trace of a glint from the corner of my eyes, a purplish, faint light.

I subconsciously associated the purple light with a devil coming to take me to hell.

'So it's time huh…Well, I regret nothing.'

I accepted my fate, I knew I was filled to the brim with sin…My environment may be to blame but quite honestly, I do not give a fuck.

The bastards and bitches that ruined my life, all suffered so much that they begged for death.

That was all I needed…I would gladly embrace hell knowing I made them suffer a similar fate in the world.

The purple light reached closer and closer, and I closed my eyes and accepted it.

However, my eyes jolted awake by the sudden headache I felt….

"AGH!"

I screamed, the pain was just too much. Even more than when acid was thrown at my face.

The purple light entered my body, and strange scenes began to play in my mind.

Scenes of a man covered in black, demonic armor wielding a hellish spear, slaughtering entire armies whilst shedding tears.

Scenes of a blonde-haired man, with emerald green eyes that resembled that of a snake…and a mask over his face?

…

…

…

That's…me?

But why does it feel so…strange? So…foreign.

Another headache assaulted me, and more scenes flashed before my eyes, this time of a white-haired boy being manipulated by strings…by the man wearing a white mask.

It…felt so familiar.

"AGH!"

Another scream escaped my mouth, the pain I was feeling had increased tenfold!

It hurts so damn much!

It's as if my head is being hit with an ax…and I'm alive every second of it!

However, the immense pain lasted only for a minute or two, the scenes stopped appearing in my mind…and it was calm, tranquil even.

Hisss…

'What?'

Hearing the strange sound of a hiss, I tried to move around and find it out, but I felt a large pressure wrap around my body, rendering me immobile.

I heard another hiss…and finally, I could see them, two, emerald green eyes of a reptile shining brightly in this pitch black darkness.

They seemed to be laughing at me, enjoying my sorry state. But what can I do?

Nothing…but wait for it to bite me, which it eventually did, in the neck as well.

But strangely enough, even though I grimaced…no pain was associated with the bite.

I…just felt strange…empty…I…I…

I fell unconscious.
