"Lief!!! Come down now Your breakfast is getting cold already!"
I was not able to sleep at all ever since the Ghost Old man from another world named Reverend disappeared. All I have been thinking is reincarnation stuff.
The old man was able to give me a somewhat convincing argument and based on his sudden appearance and disappearance, it is not a far-fetched idea to think that his words are real.
Wait, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
What the heck I am thinking right now?! None of that is real and if it is indeed real, then I just need to ignore or forget it and move on with my life! I do not want to get involved with someone saying that it is my destiny to be the ruler of this world that I am living. What a load of nonsense. I just need to stay positive and forget everything about the old man or the reincarnation or even the smoke in my room. It is still my birthday. This day is supposed to be a happy day.
"Coming, mom!"
I went down the stairs after I finished dressing up in my school uniform to eat breakfast.
"Good morning, Lief. Ahh right, I forgot to greet you. Happy birthday."
"Thanks, dad."
That middle-aged man that is sitting on the table while scrolling on his news tablet is my dad. His name is Bran and he is the head of the Tris Family. He works at a broadcast company as an assistant producer and writer. He barely pays attention to me due to his work but I do not mind. His job is extremely time-consuming that it is even a miracle that he is home. I believe he is here because it is my birthday.
"Happy birthday, sweetie. Have a seat and eat your breakfast. I cooked you your favorite breakfast meal, Triple Thick Bacon and Cheese."
This is my mother. Her name is Stella and she works at a photography studio as a photographer. Unlike my dad, mom only goes to her job when there is an appointment which is why she has a lot of time on her table. She is also the one that handles the household because she is the only one that is left here during weekdays.
"Oh sweet! Thanks, mom! I appreciate it."
I have been longing to eat this wonderful meal for a long time. I took a seat and immediately dived into the food.
Yum!!! Nothing beats a good Bacon and Cheese for breakfast.
While I was enjoying my meal, my dad turned off his tablet and placed it on the side. He then coughed and asked me a question.
"Now that you are officially an adult, do you have any plans in your mind, young man?"
Plans huh…
"Are you still confused, sweetie? Do you have any career paths that you are aiming for?"
My mom and dad both look very serious right now. Unfortunately, I still do not have any plans in my mind right now. All I want is to first enjoy being an adult.
'Say that you want to be the ruler of the world.'
"I want to be the ruler of the world!"
…
"What did you just say, Lief?"
Oh no, I screwed up.
What the hell happened?!
I just heard a sudden voice in my mind and that is why I spoke what I heard out loud.
Now that I think about it, that voice was the old man's voice! Don't tell me that he is meddling with my plans right now!
"Did you just said that you want to be a ruler, Lief?"
My dad looks so stern and serious right now. Dammnit, I do not know what to do! This is the fault of the old man Reverend!
"Uhmm… Dad… Uh…"
"So you are planning to be a politician?"
"Eh?"
"I would have never expected for you to become a politician, sweetie. You were always never the sociable or the leader type. I guess I still lack knowledge regarding my precious son. No worries, sweetie, daddy and I are always here to support you no matter what your plan is."
"Ahh… Right… Thanks, Mom and Dad… I appreciate it…"
"Your welcome. Now finish up your plate and I will send you to the Academy since I have some spare time."
Wooh! That was really a nail-biter of an event sequence.
I would have never thought that the ghost old man is that persistent. Does he not understand that I do not wish to be the ruler of this world?
Anyways let me just forget about all of this stuff because I need to go to school.
-AT THE GATE OF THE WILSON CITY ACADEMY, WILSON CITY, REPUBLIC OF LEBEL-
"Thank you for giving me a ride, mom."
"No worries, sweetie. Don't forget to come home early. We are still going to have your Birthday Dinner Celebration later."
"Of course, mom. I have been looking forward to it for a very long time."
"Got you, goodbye! See you later."
"Bye, mom!"
After that, the car left.
As I was about to enter the gates of the school…
"Yo, Lief!!! Wazzup!"
Oh god, this is going to be tiring.
"Good morning, Hiro."
This guy with me with spiky hair and a very mischievous face is named Hiro. He is my classmate and what I would say my closest friend although I still do not consider him as my best friend because I do not have any of those. He is a good guy but keeping up with him is exhausting for me. I do not mind him staying or go away but he always stays with me and I do not know the reason why.
"What are your plans for today, Lief? Are you going to go to the mall or the arcade after the classes? Or perhaps you are going to skip classes? Or maybe you are planning on taking pictures on gir-!"
"I am not doing any of those, Hiro. You know that I do not skip classes."
Geez, this guy is seriously tiring due to his energy.
"Alright fine. Then have you studied for our Long Quiz later?"
"Quiz, what quiz?"
-INSIDE THE CLASSROOM OF THE CLASS 1-D, WILSON CITY ACADEMY-
Dammnit!
I forgot that there was supposed to be a quiz today on my birthday!
I was so focused on the birthday celebration that I forgot about studying! The old man and his weird stories did not help either!
What do I do know?!
The quiz is currently ongoing and I can barely fill up one answer in my answer sheet.
What do I do?
Should I try to cheat?
I have done it before but only for a few items but this situation is completely different.
Screw it! Let us just look at the paper of my seatmate.
As soon as I try to peek at the answer sheet of my seatmate…
"WARNING! I will not mention your name but the next time I see you do that act; I am going to take action!"
Oh, shoot! Did I get caught?!
Dammnit, now I am in a tough spot!
Nothing has gone in my way ever since the start of my birthday. This is all due to the Old Man and his reincarnation bullshit. If it was not for him, I am sure that I won't be in this situation!
'Should I help you then?'
-STAY TUNED-
