~ RAFFY, past to present ~
From the moment I was born, I have everything. Money, love, people under me, I have those! My family is in politics, from the senate to the president. Ruling the country, ruling the house.
And one day, I'm gonna be like them too. I studied well while I accepted the love and money they gave to me.
People can't say no to me and always obey. I guess that's the reason why I didn't care about what they feel. However, even if I care, they would just say yes to me.
When I want that business to go down, my father will bankrupt that business without even asking me why, and my reason? I just want to.
When I want my classmates to be my slaves for an entire year, my mother would pressure their parents to do so.
When I want the whole mall to be mine, my brother would gift it to me on no occasion.
So when I wanted a woman to love me, my sister found someone and gave her to me. Though, I got bored with her so I threw her out.
Everything I wanted was given to me. Except for knowledge, it's a thing it can't easily be given but can be cheated on. I don't want to cheat intelligence. So I persevered to study every day while living like a prince.
I joined every intellectual competition in school whenever I got the chance. Winning now and then through my effort. I felt good! And that's where I met her. The first person to defeat me and make me fall for her.
She's a country bumpkin who's naive, innocent, and someone who believes in love. After she won the competition, she was about to go home when I invited her to stay for days.
It's the first time someone said no to me. I got intrigued by her that I could feel the fluttering changes around me. I was curious about her so I followed her to her hometown.
I told my parents I'll be having an early vacation from her hometown. This time, I told them not to force her. I want a challenge.
They agreed.
So I went to follow her and get to know her better. For the first time, I felt free when I'm with her. For the first time, I felt at peace when I'm with her.
When I get to know her more, I fall for her every day. Her simple life with love and truth, it's a new life I have. I wanted her.
I made her fall for me too, courting her like what she always wanted. Bringing her everywhere, following her when she's working on the farm. Being with her.
She finally said yes to me.
I brought her home, she was reluctant to at first but eventually, she got the hang of it living in the city.
I truly love her so I proposed to her however, she said no, I was heartbroken but I asked her why. She said she can't leave her family alone.
So I told her to bring her family home. However, her family doesn't want to as that hometown has been their home from generation to generation. And someone would take care of their farm.
My lover was ready to go home leaving me in the city, I don't want that. So I went to my parents and told them I'll be staying in their hometown for good and marry her there. I'm ready to follow her anywhere she wants as long as she stays with me.
However, for the first time, my family didn't agree. They told me to wait for a few days as there would be a need for paperwork and such.
When they told me that, I was confused and suspicious, but I trusted them. I waited for a day or two, and my lover went back to me saying she wanted to marry me.
I was so delighted I didn't ask why even if I do, she would only tell me she wanted to change. At our wedding, her family is missing, I asked her why but she said they can't leave the farm alone.
All of them?
I didn't ask more as I trusted her... More like I don't care and only wanted her anyway.
After that, we became a married couple, she became a housewife and I entered politics. I was satisfied with my life especially when I learned I'm gonna be a father soon!
While I was busy being a father and a politician, I didn't know someone would kidnap my mother and my child.
I was away in the country when that happens and I tried to go back as soon as I could. However, I was too late. My wife was bleeding and our child was dead inside her stomach, who couldn't even take a glimpse of the world.
I cried and tried to save my wife but she pushed me away, "If only I didn't fall for you if only I didn't say yes and follow you to the city... No... If only I didn't win that competition and met you..." She glared at me as she clung to my clothes as she said those.
With burning eyes and hatred curses, she continued, "I wouldn't lose my family, my home, and now! Because of you, my child is gone too! The only thing keeping me sane! It's all your fault!" She screams out those words as she punches me.
But those punch is nothing compared to her words. I was dumbfounded.
What did she mean she lost her family? Her home?
But deep down I know, I know what my family did but I was running away from the truth. I already had a guess when my family refused my request of living with her in her hometown.
"If... ever there's the next life..." Her gazes shot me with hatred, "I wish our path would never cross!" And that's the thing she said before she lost her breath. But it feels more like a curse than last words.
I was speechless, for days I didn't eat nor speak. When my family visited for her funeral, I made a ruckus and blame them for everything! But I know deep down, I was mad at myself for not protecting her, for making her life miserable, and for running away. I just put my anger towards my family who was looking at and listening to my curses.
I felt miserable... and lost.
"If you don't want me to be part of your next life... then I don't want to have the next life..." I murmured.
Living alone I focused on work... And die from overwork.
Then, I found a light next to my body and followed it. Walking for hours and staying in the enchanted place for days, I was ready to be evaporated.
Then, a voice was heard saying she'll grant us a wish!
What is my wish?
My mind is blank as I walked inside the game. Even when swimming as a sperm, I was still thinking what my wish could be?
Before leaving the first round, I helped someone in need who was left behind by others. Just like me, that sperm was left behind too.
What could my wish to be?
Before leaving the second round I helped the two sperm that got entangled in the mucus below and followed the sperm I helped earlier to leave this round unscathed.
What is my wish when my wife doesn't want me in the first?
Fighting in the third round, running and running, just like how I run away from the truth... I found out about my wish.
I saw the giant mucus trying to separate its real body who was just a ton of mucus together... I stood up and waited...
Waited for my wish to come true...
"I don't want to live without her... I wish to not live anymore..."
Pssshhhhk!

"Why did no one voted him as a savior when he had been saving lives since the beginning?" Faya was confused about the result, she didn't vote as the guy didn't want to be saved anyway, what's the point?
Ivy rolled her eyes, "He already lost himself, even he had been saving others, do you think he would want to save others again when now he can't even save himself?"
Faya's left eyebrow went up, "Then why vote if there's nothing we can do about him?"
This time, Virus rolled his eyes and click his tongue as he entangles his arms, "You're such a disgrace in your department, Faya."
"Grr!" Faya stood up and slammed the table glaring at him, "How dare you insult me!"
"Enough!" V stopped their fight as he shouted, "Every soul is given a choice to play, and every soul has given a chance to wish, whether their wish is to relive again or not. We must find a soul who's asking for a chance and has a good heart to play, the moment he or she steps inside the game, that's the moment he asks for salvation."
He stared at Faya indifferently, "So Faya, you can cut your sh*t of being judgemental if you still want to be a system judge until the end."
Feeling embarrassed, Faya humphs and turned around. She's just asking, why making it a big deal?
"The Enchantress also voted," Didi commented that Faya flinched.
