Chereads / A Story For Someone Else's Sake / Chapter 7 - Not even a perfect death

Chapter 7 - Not even a perfect death

Levine, after a lot of cursing, walked towards his home and sent his note (An app) in his phone to Ziel via Viber. Levine likes to keep a note of what he was feeling on his phone so that he can remember the incident or story that happened to him and also, just to bug his friends with his drama, Ziel was a victim of this.

"There you go." Levine said in a depressed voice.

Levine arrived at his home and was asked by his mother if everything was fine, that he was home early than his usual routine. Levine just replied his usually 'yes' then nodded, his mother felt that her son was down lately. Levine remembered what Janine said and was playing widely in his thoughts.

'Levine will miss me.'

'Levine will miss me.'

'Hahahaha, Levine will miss me.'

Truly, that was happening and Levine was crying while lost in his thoughts, all alone in his room. Knowing how busy Ziel was, Levine understood why the f*ck he was not replying at all on Viber.

"Maybe Ziel is enjoying a nut?

"A very very wet nut,

"When everything seems to rot,

" what awaits him is a plot."

Upon checking his phone, Levine received a text Janine had sent. Drained and devastated Levine had read.

[Levine, are you home? Your sister says you are not.]

Knowing Levine for 5 years, Janine anticipated his reply. Levine is too weak at this kind of situation and soon replied.

[Yes. I'm just laying in bed still digesting what you have brought upon me.]

Janine replied his usual 'I see' then stopped bothering Levine for a moment's notice.

July 20th ended in haste and with waste, Levine who sought Janine was in a hot thought, enough to defile his heart. Levine officially declared 20th was his break-up with Janine and remained locked in his room while refusing to eat, in which of course he only drinks water and tea for the duration of the day. July 21st came and Levine went to his usual busy work and after his last break, he went to check his phone in the locker and saw Janine's text, while at it, a typical Cancerian zodiac as Levine was, pushed his love away. Cancers had this unusual ability to push an individual they love to see if the person they were in love with will chase or return to them in free will.

Levine read Janine's text.

[3 days has passed and you moved on?]

Levine did not reply.

"I'll make a gamble to see if she will chase me and to prove something, I'll let her eat her words."

'You are waiting for me to break up with you so that you can have another girlfriend right?'

At the sheer thought of Janine's words, Levine cannot help but become infuriated.

"Look who is talking now, oooh how the tables have turned."

A week has passed and last 27th of July Levine saw pictures of Janine and Allen as a couple and again penetrated him enough to cry in his sister's presence.

"Ah, it was real, reality hurts so much."

"Ziel isn't even replying, this f*cker when you need him the most."

August came and Levine went to Janine's dormitory as he waited for 3 hours till she awakens and they talked.

"Hi Janine, I came here to pick up my remaining clothes."

"I believe you have work today right?"

"Not today."

"Wait for me, I'll be getting it upstairs."

"Ok."

A couple of minutes as Janine prepared to go to work while Janine gave Levine what he asked for.

"Let's go, I'm getting late.

"You look like a thin zombie, Levine."

"Ah. You look fat than the last time we saw each other."

"Really?"

Levine nodded and Janine explained that she also encountered a strange disease and had her medications.

'Yeah, every night at 3 a.m I tried to curse you, I did not know that will take effect.'

Levine thought so. A public vehicle came and transported them to Janine's workplace, Levine tagged along since he used one of his leave credits during that day. Then inside the vehicle, they talked.

"So, when did you and Allen become lovers?"

"Secret."

"Why cannot answer me truthfully Janine?"

"Because Allen will be angry."

"I see."

'That f*cktard has penetrated and imprinted you huh?'

'Wished someone would kill the two of you.'

Levine had these thoughts as the vehicle arrived at the destination and he walked with Janine up to her workplace and Levine getting anxious as they walked fast that it turned out to be an act of running. Janine then said, "Why are you running?"

"I'm trying to catch up with you."

"No need to guide me on my workplace, GO HOME!"

Levine was startled with Janine's scream and then walked away. Levine was blank, his eyes went deep staring into a space like someone has existed but there was nothing, yes, nothing at all. He wasn't feeling anything, he just walked straight and did not notice that he was walking along the highway and zoom a truck hit him and Levine was isekaied! (Duuuut, wrong!)

"Of course not, this is reality!" A man in a black suit suddenly exclaimed as Levine saw him while he was feeling numb.

"Are you my master?" Levine said jokingly.

"No, idiot. Well. Uhh, look at you!"

Levine saw a body grinded into pieces with blood oozing while tainting a little of the road, crimson in the night's gaze with people having taken a photograph of it.

"It is a hit and run!"

"It was a ten-wheeler truck!"

The people around the area where discussing and with their loads of b*llshit aligning together to post it in social media.

"Ooooh, is that me?"

"But of course, who else would that be?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"No, sh*tface!"

"Any last words?"

"Ah. Let me think about it."

"Very well."

Levine was calm, it was instant and maybe because he felt nothing at all.

"So, this is death huh?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Hmmmm."

"You got 24 hours to roam aight?"

"I see."

Levine nodded at the man in a black suit, he looks blank of course, that man has no face, he was faceless alright! Levine looked at the man who was 5'9 tall and found him elegant, great in his suit and uttered some words.

"Clothes make the man."

Then Levine saw the contents of his bag, with his brown oni mask that was not supposed to be there.

"This mask is kept on my drawer, why the f*ck was it here?"

"Who knows?" The man in a black suit said. Levine then said while staring at the night's sky as the moon gleams around his body crushed against his will, "For the moon shows me my own features again…"

"Der Doppelgänger.

"A wise choice indeed."

Levine's flesh hanging around the corner but he cannot smell it, cannot hold it, but he can only stare at his own demise.

"24 hrs should be enough."

The man in a black suit nodded and signaled Levine to go now and do not waste any time.

"I've already wasted mine.

"My life.

"It's not even a perfect death."

Note: Isekai- meaning 'different world', works revolve around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe, usually a fantasy world.
