Chapter 2: Prologue 2/2

I woke up feeling quite strange. For some reason, I am feeling really light right now. If some strange force wasn't pulling me along right now. I think that drifting directly into the open air, wouldn't be that impossible.

Hold down, what???? 

Getting hold of myself and now being fully awake. I started to become alert and tried to make sense of my current circumstances.

"What is going on? Where am I?"

I spoke to myself more than anyone else but I didn't hear my voice as I was expecting.

The silence was the only thing that greeted me. I feel myself speaking but even when I started shouting. There was nothing but silence in this place...

Felling really confused now, I tried really hard to comprehend what is going on and stop the panic that was slowly building within me every second now.

But the situation only got worse. When I realized that I couldn't open my eyes.

Felling a little scared now, I tried to resist the pulling force with my legs but I couldn't feel them. I did the same with my arms but they weren't there too.

Now scared shitless, I could only shout in my mind to it to stop. Which strangely seems to have some effect because I started to feel the pull becoming weaker.

But as I was feeling happy with my little victory. I felt that suction of the force that was trying to drag me before getting stronger.

I don't know where this was bringing me but it doesn't seem to be anything good. So I did the only reasonable thing I could think at the moment and that is: 'don't let myself be dragged along '.

I did what worked before and wished in my mind for it to halt. It didn't work. I tried harder but it still didn't budge to my despair.

I was now moving faster than before and I know that was bad. It seems the force got a little angry about my resisting before and it was pulling me faster, God knows where.

"Think, think why doesn't it work? It worked before."

I got all my brain cells to think about this crisis and analyze what I did before....

Alright, I think I got it. Well, it's not like I will lose anything trying.

I hope this lucid dream stops soon. I really hate them because they are usually nightmares and this one is unusually unnerving.

With my renewed determination I started yelling out loud with all my might. Of course, not a sound left my mouth and I am perfectly aware of that.

Before when I tried to stop it. I didn't put a lot of emotions into it. I just told it to politely stop. Well, that was a mistake. It's not gonna let me go just like that.

So the only thing, I can do. Is to fight it and the key to success is strong emotions.

Well, that is only my theory and if I am not correct then I am probably fucked up. Because only this comes to my mind.

I continue yelling and cursing, which I do unconsciously when I am panicked.

I could feel the grip that is holding me getting weaker and weaker and that I am losing speed.

"I am almost there, just a little more...."

Then suddenly the pulling force got stronger yet again. Which really got me riled.

"How much power boost you gotta have, fucking cheater.."

"Are you fucking mocking me by doing that in the last seconds?"

Then I continued to curse his five generations of ancestors.

Some times later.....

I am feeling really exhausted. I don't know how much time passed. Was it only one or maybe even 5 hours?

But at that point, I almost gave up. I feel like am back to my childhood days playing a video game and fighting a boss who after his health bar has gone dangerously low. Gonna surprise you with instant regeneration and some more op form.

Technically after his power-up, he should be beatable but in my case, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Because this thing can unlimitedly power up and I don't know when but I started to feel really tired. I am on the brink of becoming unconscious.

"Sigh..."

Maybe that's a good outcome and I will finally wake up but I am sure gonna remember this sick dream. Well, I just hope that I will not have to go through this nightmare again.

But I wouldn't get my hopes up because the same nightmares tend to repeat for me. That is sadly my reality.

As I was just to give up and stop resisting the force that was now trying to grab me with all its ferocity.

Suddenly I could see yet again. The force that was pulling me all this time vanished like it wasn't there at the beginning and I just thought that I had finally managed to wake up.

But looking at my surroundings something doesn't seem right. All I could see was white. Just white, nothing more and it seems that I am levitating on the air because I couldn't feel the ground.

"Oh no... don't tell me that I have one of those:a dream within a dream, things."

'I really have to be a sinful man to be hunted by these types of nightmares'

I told myself, feeling a little like crying and to be honest hopeless and frustrated by all this situation.

The exhaustion that I felt from the first dream didn't disappear. I am still insanely tired right now and I don't want to be in another one.

Well, the good thing is that I can see now at least. Nevertheless, I still can't feel my legs and arms and my vision isn't that great. I feel like someone that has a bad vision defect because everything seemed so blurry.

"Well you are dead so of course, you will lose most of your five senses"

Said a calm voice behind me that scared the hell out of me. I instinctively turned around. (even I don't know how I did that without my legs)

Behind me, I could a woman maybe in her young 30 with glasses, wearing a suit and black or dark brown hair, I wasn't sure. That was all, I could see because my vision was pretty bad.

"Who are you?"

I asked her, trying to hide my surprise. Which come from that I didn't know something can speak to me in my dreams.

"Hmmmmmm'

He sure is quite a stubborn one, still thinking after all this time that this is just a dream.

Well, I guess having only lucid dreams all life can make someone skeptical.

Adding his rational personality, yea...

This can make someone pretty stubborn into not believing in something that is not logical by his standards.

The last person that I got to reincarnate instantly know what was going on but I guess that situation was quite different than this one.

In that case, I assume the best course of action will be just to show him. Because talking to him now will lead us nowhere.

"I will tell you but firstly look at that"

The woman answered my question and instantly my perception changed.

The first thing that I saw was the snow that was lazily falling from the sky. Other than that I saw the sun which made falling snowflakes even more beautiful and sparkly on what appeared to be a beautiful morning.

"Look ahead of you"

Said the woman, waking me from my stupor.

I looked ahead and saw a park. Which I barely recognized because everything was covered by snow and my vision was pretty bad right now.

I didn't understand why she took me there until I saw a group of people and floated? a little closer.

What I saw was police securing a certain place and medics clustered in one spot.

I don't know but the closer I get to this place the more nervous, I become. It seems like, my body's instincts are trying to warn me about something. Which made me hesitate to move further. But my curiosity won in the end and I started moving again. The interesting thing is that as I move further no one, seems to notice me.

When I was near the medics the urge to turn around was so strong that I almost did exactly that. Nonetheless, I somehow managed to hold on and see what they were doing.

And what I saw made my blood run cold.

The medics were: *packing a dead body*

But the problem was more. Who were they packing.

Yep, that was me, or more precisely my body.

Questions started popping into my mind:

'Is this really a dream? '

' The last thing I remember was going to the park. How do I die then? '

"Still not believing? Let me show you something else then."

The woman's voice suddenly resounded behind me and my vision changed yet again. Cutting my thought process.

"Today's this gonna by already 22 victim. As you all know the last night's snowstorm was really heavy. Some of us couldn't even walk out of our homes, this morning because the snow was blocking our way out.

The words were spoken by a female reporter that was speaking to the camera.

She was likely, in the same park that I was in yesterday before. I think so because I could barely see from here the scene of my presumable death.

"Mayor of the city already told the citizens that he will do anything in his power to help victims in these hard times and even promised to open free motels for homeless people that were the main casualties of the storm."

'Did I really die because of that?'

Thinking really hard which wasn't so easy because I was so worn out right now. I recall some bits and pieces of what happened yesterday and from what I could summarize, I really went to sleep in the park.

Sleeping in the park, especially in the winter doesn't seem to be a good idea and now, I am paying a price for my stupidity. I really want to undo the time and ask my past self what the hell was he thinking doing something so obviously stupid but I know that is impossible now.

Without even noticing, I went back to the white room, or maybe a white space is a better name for it.

"You know I don't want to interrupt your existential crisis but we have like 5 minutes before your soul ceases to exist for real"

"What do you mean?"

I asked her feeling both surprised and overwhelmed by everything that was happening.

"Well, you know a soul can't exist without a body and you tried to resist your soul clean-up before reincarnating through the Well Of Reincarnation. So of course you gonna pay the price for that bad behavior of yours."

She spoke to me like a teacher, scolding me a little about my behavior but at the same time trying to explain things in a language that was easy to understand, and to be honest, I have a lot of questions but I have to choose the most important ones because it seems that I don't have much time left.

"What is going to happen to me now?"

"Well, what can happen to you now/.....Of course, you will reincarnate with your memories intact and before you ask you will not get any "golden finger(cheat ability)" I am really sick of this question being asked year after year. You having another chance in life is already a lot. You don't even know how many people just wish to start their life anew..."

"But let me break it to you **they can't.** You live only ones.

Wow, that was unexpected for a second I thought that I would go to hell or something worse. Because from what I could understand, I should just peacefully let my soul be cleaned and reincarnated but I didn't and to be honest I don't regret it. Even though, I didn't know what I was doing at that time. Because "clean-up" of my soul is pretty much the same as killing me or losing my identity.

"Well I never saw a soul with such strong will and it was just a time for this year's reincarnation of a lucky person that is going to remember his/her past life. So I chose you this time.

"Wait you can read my mind?"

I asked feeling a little stupid for noticing only now.

"Well, you sure are silly. Okay, we don't have time anymore. I hope that you will enjoy your next life to its fullest. Because from what I saw, your life was kind of sad, and even though you keep saying to yourself that you are happy and content with it. You can't fool yourself forever. So don't waste this chance from fate and live happily for yourself this time."

"Bye, Bye"

She waved a hand to me a couple of times and smiled at me encouragingly.

"Wait!"

She stopped doing what I suppose was some kinda spell to reincarnate me and looked at me confused.

"What? we don't have time for chit-chat anymore you know that"

She spoke to me and I could hear a little irritation in her voice.

"I have last very important question. When I reincarnate will I be a baby?"

"Yea isn't that obvious?"

She sounded confused.

"Can't you just reincarnate me in a mature body?"

"Well it's possible but you will just take someone's body a second after that person passed away. Do you know what I imply? Isn't it better to start with a clean card?

"Well If I reincarnated with the "clean card" as you said I am sure my new parents gonna think I'm some freak. How do you expect fully grown men to mimic ideally how kids behave?"

It seems she was contemplating my answer and shortly after she spoke like she found an ideal solution.

"I know! How about I will seal your memories so that you will act like a normal kid and after you grow up a little they will unlock themselves naturally."

She spoke to my little haughty probably feeling proud of herself.

"It's actually...."

I just spoke but she cut me mid-sentence.

"Hehe I almost forgot but there's a catch. It can work and can not work. It means that you can live your second life completely unaware of your first.

"What do you mean?"

I asked her. Felling that that is not worth the risk.

"I would say 50/50 for you remembering or not"

Yeah, I am not gonna gamble on that my luck is always trash.

"Oh fuck, you have like 30 seconds before you know [what's gonna happen]. You need to choose NOW. I will do as you choose.

Said the woman realizing that even if there is another alternative. She doesn't have any more time to think about it.

"I chose the opinion, I proposed before"

I didn't need to think long about it. I can't imagine myself being a kid again and growing up. That wouldn't just work for me and I would feel really uncomfortable having to lie to my new parents and pretending that I am just a normal kid. The last option, well I will not even comment about it. It's just not worth the risk.

"Okay just so you know, I can't really choose which body you will take over and what word you will be reincarnated to, you can even not be a human in your next life. But I will make sure for your body to be quite young and of course mature by your standards "

She took a deep breath because she was speaking super fast.

"And that's all, btw we will not see each other ever again and I don't know what's going to happen to you but I hope you will live well and remember If you ever find yourself in a default situation don't give up on yourself.

"Bye...."

She once again waved to me and grinned. Making me feel that everything gonna be okay.

"THANK YOU!!"

These were my last words before my vision turned completely black...
