Merging souls - Rio + Nobody = ???

As I was looking at the scenes floating in the darkness, I realized that I wasn't there - the kid, his parents, his family and friends - there wasn't anything that I recognised.

I was confused, cause the scenes that are playing in front of me is the life of Rio Blake.

As I focused more I started remembering my own life back on earth.

Suddenly there were ripples in the darkness and I could see the scenes changing , and now in place of Rio my memories started playing.

Before I could make sense of what was happening the scenes started changing again and now the darkness was divided in two parts - one was currently playing the life of Rio, while the other side were my memories.

It looked like both sides were fighting for dominance , they started merging and taking each other's space.

Suddenly in the memories of Rio I could see my face and while sometimes I would see Ria or Queency talking with Rio.

"Look I'm even learning swords now."

"I'm stronger"

"Why don't you ever listen to me idiot"

"I love you SK the real you"

"Welcome home Amy"

"Forgive me for leaving like this"

"Big brother's gift, do you like it"

"Wake up lazy"

I could hear their voices but I couldn't remember what it was about.

Now it was hard for me to differentiate between what was real and what I was imagining.

As time went on a slight headache started coming back and I could feel my body squirming and shaking.

I held my head and for the first time a cry of pain escaped from my mouth -

" Ahhhhhhh "

But instead of stopping, the scenes started merging faster and now I couldn't even tell both of them apart.

I was feeling angry as a thought came into my brain - that I would forget my old life. I didn't want to forget everything , I didn't want to forget Ria or her.

I focused and tried to remember everything about them to remind me of the time we spent together but as I thought my memories were getting hazy with time and all I could see was Rio and his life.

"I will not forget her "

"What the hell kind of nightmare is it"

"Wake up damn it"

As I shouted that, I remembered that this wasn't a nightmare and I was supposed to be dead.

As the memories of my death came to my mind - my headache increased suddenly and I could feel my head literally bursting as it tried to accommodate the memories of both my lives.

"Fucking Damn it all "

"Someone stop it"

As the pain became unbearable for me to handle, I couldn't even think of anything anymore.

"Ahhhhhh "

"Awwwwww"

As I started shouting like crazy while holding my head.

I was losing all hope when I felt someone holding my body and massaging my head.

I could feel someone opening my mouth and making me drink something.

I didn't know what was happening around me , as I wasn't in any condition to think anything so I instinctively opened my mouth, as what I thought was water went into my mouth. I could feel its taste , it was different from anything I've tasted before - it was sweet and somewhat viscous - it felt like honey but more sweeter.

Soon after that a warm current washed over my body and I could feel my headache lessening and I wanted to look ahead and see what happened to the memories but I felt my consciousness drifting away , as I once again lost myself in the peaceful embrace of darkness.

Sometime after feeling better I opened my eyes and found myself still surrounded by darkness.

I touched my head but I wasn't feeling any headache now.

I remembered what happened before and I tried to see in front of me.

For a second I was scared that I might forget everything but when I looked ahead I was shell shocked.

The pitch black perfect darkness screen in front of me was broken now. There were many cracks on it .

The scenes of my life and Rio's life were there but unlike before they weren't playing non-stop.

I went ahead and tried to touch one part nearest to me and the scene of Rio playing with his sister started appearing.

I took a deep breath and went ahead to check with other scenes and they were all fine.

I watched Rio grow up and I watched how he lived.

I went ahead and touched a part which had the memory of me from my past life and Queency was staring at me.

[ So your sister's coming huh]

--- [ yeah she couldn't wait. I told her not to but she wanted to meet her sister-in-law]

[what, I haven't agreed yet. And I don't remember you proposing to me]

--- [Do I need to]

[ hmmm]

watching the memory and her beautiful face while she was pouting a smile came on my face and with that the memory ended .

I tried to touch other pieces and hoped to see every memory available of her in my brain again but the headache started coming back and I knew I had to stop.

After I watched Rio's whole life I understood what was happening before .

As a person who read novels all the time for his living - I figured that after my death I was transmigrated in his body and all this time - our souls were just merging together.

I was happy at first after realizing that I had a new chance , a new life - as it meant I could start anew.

But as I continued my journey to Rio's memory lane that happiness soon turned into a frown on my face.

( just my luck )

( I had to reincarnate into his body)

If you're wondering why I was cursing my luck and feeling angry over it - the answer to that is.

just like any other villain novel - I reincarnated into this world's villain .

This world was called Arcadia.

It was based on the story of the novel I first read - "APOLLO'S CHOSEN - RISING HEROES OF PEACEFUL TIMES"

Now this world followed a fantasy setting where every other cliche fantasy stuff was available - mana, dungeons, monsters, towers, powers and systems.

If I was in anyone else's body I wouldn't hate it that much, cause as the title of the book says it was set in a somewhat peaceful era so I could survive by hiding or simply looting some chances of some characters but I was in the body of this world's second main villain boss - Rio Blake . The First Fallen, The Great Devil.

In here unless the protagonist and his camp defeats me - they can't fight the final villain boss - The Demon King DITAIL.

Now some of you might think that what am I so scared of - what's the worst that can happen , my death - please I've already died once. And the darkness was peaceful.

So what am I so scared of - Well that's cuase I don't die in this story.

Nope I get trapped and forced to live a miserable life for all eternity all alone - without the power to even do anything .

Now if that wasn't enough , there's more _ but just thinking about that - sweat started to form on my soul body.

( leave it, I can't change anything staying here)

( guess I should wake up first)

I don't know how long has it been since my death - and the darkness - and then this merging - but I was finally ready to open my eyes to the new world.

(I'm actually kinda excited to see this new fantasy world that's so different from Earth)

And after that thought I opened my eyes and the light of sun hit my face.

(Damn - that's the same as when I wake on earth too)

A/N :- so here we go. he's ready now - to start his new journey.
