2 Game of Will System Initiated
Back in the supernatural, white and black world Ziade sits there still asking questions in his mind like; how come I'm here? why did I have to die by a fucking truck? Reincarnation? After all my hard work I ended up in happiness, why did I have to die? Is my family ok? Is Tara, Charlotte and Dillan going to live a life of happiness without me? I shouldn't have tried to save that boy? How come the boy had to die too...?
"I failed them..."
Ziade is now crying streams of a waterfall, he always wanted to be able to reincarnate but only when he lived a a happy and a fulfilling life, he wants to be able to grow up with his kids and let them live a normal childhood and one with parents... not like his was...
"I just want to go home... and if I can't, just let me rest in peace."
What Ziade didn't realise was... that an old man sitting on a crane stick upwards was staring at him from 2 metres away with a genuine smile but it looked creepy like Orochimaru's smile.
"Hey Kid" The old man says with a loud voice and a smile.
"What do you want...?" Ziade sadly replies with his head still down but has now stopped crying.
'Rude', "Wow, didn't expect that, why are you not startled or... scared?"
"I kind of knew that either a voice would come inside my head or someone or something would come to me and I've always read situations like this."
'Most probably he knew this was going to occur from stories', "This?" The old man questions.
"A gods plain or Reincarnation, I mean."
"If you've read of this, then why are you not happy and exited but sad, miss your people?"
"..." Ziade doesn't reply.
"Tell me" The old man says in a sincere but firm voice.
"I didn't want to leave my family... not now..."
"I see, so you are full of regret and sadness in your heart."
"Can you take me back...?" Ziade responds in a weak but voice full of hope while lifting his head up.
"... I cannot my boy, such a thing is not possible for the likes of me."
"... I see... who are you anyway?""I'm Ziade."
"I am Elder Kumi, a man who finds fun in watching fun games."
Both stay silent after their introductions for a short while before Ziade voices out his concerns,
"Elder Kumi, after thinking... I have some questions to ask you, may I?"
"Of course, you may." Elder Kumi answers with a weird grin.
"Okay first, where am I?"
"In a space made by me for my participants."
"...How many participants have you had?" Ziade asks in slow, uninterested voice.
"Not too many... should be, 67."
"They alive?"
"I get a new participant every time when my fifth player dies."
"So only five at a time huh? Are they all in the same world or are they in different worlds?
Elder Kumi looks happy to answer his questions but for some reason he laughs out, "hahaha! Ziade my boy they do not just live in different worlds but in totally different multiverses."
Ziade sits there thinking in this weird place for an hour...
"'Sigh', Elder Kumi... I never will forget my family, Tara, Charlotte, Dillan and Katelyn and I know I have failed them... but I know that by being a loser who cries in despair, my wife will kill me if she ever saw me like that... Tara... haha... I love you..."
"Elder Kumi! I assume you want me to participate in your game?" Ziade questions while standing up.
"I do Ziade"
"I accept , but I have two favours to ask and one last question." Ziade declares with firmness slamming his right hand against the left side of his, symbolising his resolve.
Elder Kumi hops off his crane stick and stands a metre away from Ziade and stares into his eyes affirming his resolve."And that is?"
"My first favour is that you protect my family and let them live a happy life with no worries."
"That is guaranteed in the package kid, I'll count that as a favour since you asked but I do not need a favour from you for that."
"...?" Ziade nods his head thanking Elder Kumi.
"My second favour is, can I have a system when I join this game?"
"And... why would you want that?" Elder Kumi questions with a big scheming grin plastered on his face while stroking his long beard slowly.
"Since I will be living a new life and I can't go back to my family, I wish to become... a person who can travel the multiverses! I wish to stand where you are right now! Maybe even surpass you Elder Kumi!" Ziade slightly lowers his head to show his respect.
"... I accept but if you do not die and do reach where you aim to be, just remember kid that you owe me a favour... also in a new life, you need to live with happiness and not long for your past family... you need to find someone else you can love... because you will never be able to see them again."
Ziade raises his head and thinks for a bit before answering, "Sir I will try to heed your advice but I believe that will take time... and I will most definitely owe you a favour because I will... I want to live."
"Very good boy" Elder Kumi puts on that scheming smile again just like before, before realising Ziade still has a question.
"Now to my question, what exactly is this game?"
"It is... Game of Will"
"Why will?" Ziade questions.
"Hahaha, that's it, no more questions for you kid. Oh and also that favour... I was always going to give you a System! Hahaha! It's a game Ziade! Haha! HAVE FUN!!
And with the click of his fingers Ziade distorts but before he totally disappears, Elder Kumi yells, "It's not my fault you wasted the favours you asked for! You still owe me one!"
"You cheatin old ba-" Ziade is gone out of that black and white world.
