Itsuki nodded and answered his question after taking another sip of his tea.
"Restart again, and this time with a full soul."
Xin "…"
He was expecting some sort of cheat skill and an isekai ticket as compensation. But after hearing the word 'Restart,' his expression darkened.
He knew it well that restart means retaking birth as a baby, learn everything from scratch, then take revenge on the bad leads, bleh, bleh, bleh.....la la la la fantasies.
But he wasn't interested in them. All he wanted was a cheat skill and an isekai ticket to a different world.
Seeing Xin was losing interest in his upcoming mission, Itsuki resumed his narration. He told him how the world of magic got destroyed after two years of his other part's death and how the entire universe was affected by that event.
Xin didn't show much of a reaction to it and replied an "Oh~~~" after listening to him.
"Well, I know you won't be affected much by it, so let me give you a taste," Itsuki snapped his finger while pointing it towards Xin.
"Huh!! What's this guy doing now?!" Xin murmured. He was about to add something when everything became dark around. Countless memories began to intrude his mind.
Betrayal, betrayal, betrayal. Was the only thing he could find in the memories. The first betrayal was at the age of twenty, the second betrayal in the university, the third in the Defence Academy, the fourth..... the fight.....
There wasn't a single moment in his life when he didn't get betrayed by someone. Even during the last moment of life, he was about to get crossed by one of his dearest friends. But before he did, the other part of Xin ended his life by hanging on a rope.
Tears began to come out from Xin's eyes after he experienced everything in those memories. He was no longer the guy who doesn't care a shit about his other part.
He tried to stop his tears, but no matter what, it didn't stop. His eyes became swollen, the white membrane turned red. After some minutes of effort, he was finally able to control his tears gushing and looked towards the person named Itsuki again.
"Will you say the same now?"
"No."
"Good,"
The conversation ended in three lines. Xin asked Itsuki what was that? And why was he feeling so bad for his other part?
And Itsuki answered him by laughing that some minutes ago, he merged both the souls into one. Now they were one, as they should have been from the beginning. After talking about some other matters, Itsuki finally posed the thing that he wanted to blurt out.
"Xin Karlos, hear me out. Are you willing to restart your life? And save the world that's destined to doom without a Saviour Soul."
"Ah yes, I will save. But I was expecting a fresh isekai ticket."
"Ahahaha, Ahahahaha," laughed Itsuki. And kept on laughing till Xin asked him to stop laughing and tell him the reason for his laugh.
Seeing Xin was getting irritated, he refrained from laughing and told him something new for his ears.
"Xin Karlos, do you know the aim of this mission?"
"Yes…." Xin replied. And stated his mission objective. That was to restart his life in the world of magic, save it from its greatest calamity. And to do that, he has to stand on top of the other people in that same world. Revenge was a must for him, as he wouldn't get peace of mind without his sweet revenge.
Itsuki nodded his head in approval and asked him the name of this mission.
Xin was somewhat confused by his question since he had never seen or read any anime or manga where the god asks the mission's name.
So he simply shook his head to convey he didn't know and waited for Itsuki to spill out the name.
"Project Relife: 2x Isekai," blurted out Itsuki.
"Interesting~~!!" Xin exclaimed. He was about to ask what the 2x signifies, but before he did, a portal abruptly opened up behind him and started to pull in everything around it.
Xin jumped off from its chair and looked towards Itsuki, asking for an explanation.
"Oof, looks like it's almost time. I know what you want to ask. And the 2x doesn't signify the two souls. Well, you will find out soon. And I have given you your part of cheat skill sets. Use it wisely!!"
Before Xin replied something, the portal became fierce and sucked him by force.
Zwap!!
The portal closed off. And Itsuki returned back to his seat. After taking another sip of tea, Itsuki turned behind and called out someone, "Sister Otsuki, wasn't it you who created that space vortex during my journey?"
"You found out now?" replied a sweet voice from the dark.
"No, found out long ago. But wanted to thank you now. Cause of you, that soul evolved to Cyan and got his new soul color."
"Hehehe, kiddo, if you knew about it, you should have thanked me earlier."
"Ah, I wanted to do the same. But suddenly got an urge to wait and see when you will tell from your side."
"Tch, tch, ungrateful brother of mine," cursed the owner of that voice and faded into the darkness behind her.
Itsuki, too vanished from his seat and looked forward to the cyan soul's new journey named Xin Karlos.
Everything was dark. Xin was floating in the darkness with a mind full of thoughts. In the abyss black darkness, someone called out his name, Xin!
Xinn!!
Mr. Xin Karlos!!
Xin abruptly opened his eyes and found himself in his high school classroom. Before him was a person with a bald head, fat tummy, and a French mustache.
Xin recognized the person in an instant and stood up at once, "Professor Han!!" Xin exclaimed with surprise.
In his previous life in the world of magic, Professor Han was one of those characters who helped him build a solid base in magic spells.
But one day, he lost his life due to a conspiracy by some higher-ups who were jealous of Xin's success. Tears gushed down from his eyes, and Xin became emotional again. Since he was getting another chance, he swore himself to save the Professor's life this time.
