Life is short so we must better live to the fullest ― that's what every lucky bastard said to themselves.
Life is so unfair, to be honest.
Reality is really full of disappointment.
Society was divided from the very start, and our social status was subdivided into different categories such as rich, noble, and evil menace. We ain't equal, in short.
On earth, I was born into a middle-class family. Like most people with the same merit and status, I started from the bottom. I grew up as an individual, who was brainwashed by oligarchs to dream as an employee and became a social servant, a slave to large companies.
I worked so hard to reach my goal and ambition.
I enrolled in a public college and took a business degree. I thought everything was fine when you reached this level, but I was wrong.
Unlike high school, college life was boring and an apathetic place to spend. My biggest mistake in my life was over-shouldering the weight of academics other than playing around with my classmates to enjoy my youth.
I thought I was the best of my kind when I first succeed in getting a high grade in the class.
For every good part that came to your life, there's always an unforeseen event that would topple your flag of success.
There were people who always trumped you from the stairs of success. No matter what you did to reach your destination, there's someone who'll take it easy as a piece of cake. Moreover, no matter how good you were, there's someone who'll always above you.
Despite the fact that I graduated from the school with good merits and outstanding performance, it didn't even please society itself.
I failed to pass the license examination not once but thrice.
I reviewed so much and almost abandoned my time with my family and friends, but no matter what I did, it always the same. So, I decided to give up on that and searched for a job.
But companies wanted to hire people who had experience.
'What the fuck is wrong with these companies? Are they stupid? So, I have to go back when I have experience in other companies. They are nuts. This is why I want to join you guys, to gain experience.'
Thankfully, a benevolent company hired me thereafter. But I won't ever forget the insulting remarks of those companies who should be role models to society.
Next, I got married to a beautiful girl. She's two years younger than me, but her face outstood the beauty of the many which was mostly the reason every male in the street envied my relationship. However, our marriage didn't last long as she asked for a quick divorce for no particular reason.
I did my best to fix our relationship, and even she's blaming me for all of it, I turned a blind eye and accepted it because I loved her.
I didn't even know what's her problem, to be honest. She's in a Karen-level every time I tried to reconcile.
Our relationship was in the verge of collapse and it turned worse than I expected. She filed a case against me, attempted violence against women. She even told the authorities that I violated her human rights by forcing her to become my sex slave.
Those fuckin' CHR took the bait because she's a girl, and since I was just an ordinary brown-skinned man in this world, that racial son of a bitch advised her to sue me.
My veins on my forehead showed up. My eyes opened wide, trembling in anger. I inadvertently slapped her directly to her face when she hit my face with fair warning.
She couldn't believe that I would fight back.
But that incident turned my life upside down. She won the court trial when a stupid paparazzi showed up a photo of that particular scene as a shred of evidence. The court penalized me with a thousand bucks for violence and damages that almost consumed half of my annual salary for three consecutive years.
I, I was devastated.
During my free time, I investigated why she's eager to break up with me, and to my surprise, I bit my lips when I found out the truth from her best friend.
According to her friend, my ex-wife had an affair with a millionaire to whom she's really taking a liking, and that man already knew she's married to me. However, it didn't stop their secret affair, and to make their love eternal, my ex-wife decided to abandon me, decisively.
The main reason for our breakup wasn't even me at all.
Due to my misbehavior and mishap, that bastard and his whore used the government to intervene and end my career. That lover paid for everything to help her. In short, it was really a one-sided match because the judges and the cops were all paid.
That time, I changed the name of my ex-wife to a slut. A slut and worse enemy of all true men. Her existence was an embodiment of evil that should be persecuted for all of their schemes and bad deeds.
And to that millionaire, I called him a stupid pimp. A pimp that worse than a bitch. His penis should be cut into pieces to decrease the population of his type. He knew she's married, but he chose that cunning bitch. Unbelievable.
He should just die!
After three months, she came back with the cops behind her. She filed another case for trespassing.
Tresspassing, for what? I did not even step to her place, though.
That day was the beginning of my endless suffering in this unfair world. But the real reason behind all of this was, she discovered from her friend that I already learned the truth. She's turned paranoid because she thought I would take revenge, so she decided to make the first move for safety reasons.
All I needed to do was to make sure I won't meet them and I ain't allowed to get closer to her for a five-kilometer radius. In fact, it was a good choice and it was very convenient for me because I really hated her the most.
Likewise, she won the case and I was humiliated in the eyes of the public. I did what my attorney advised me and I said the truth to the court, but they turned a blind eye to the truth.
Bullshit, they got bribed!
Corruption was really a disease that no man couldn't remove from this world. I hoped these bastards should die together with my ex-wife and her lover. They were all the same kind.
It was a devastating defeat for me albeit I prayed to God to help me. I wanted to show everyone that I didn't do it. However, I lost fate to humanity because I heard that the judge got bribed when I was inside the toilet to take out a shit.
After one year, the two cops visited me again with a warrant. This time, it was a new level of bullshit. They told me that my ex-wife had put a case against me for child support. My whole world trembled in shock when I learned this bad news that I had a child.
Well, I went for the trial and I lose the case for the third time despite the fact, we didn't even know whether I was really the real father of that child or not.
I got penalized for another a thousand buck to support that child that I didn't even meet.
For the last five years of suffering, I turned miserable and depress. I lost my job and no one was willing to let me in when I got kicked out from my old apartment. I had a large debt of forty million dollars from the bank.
Despite this situation, I still found a way to earn money just to support my life and transfer my child support funds to my ex-wife. Well, the debt collectors would pay a visit to take that money by force if I failed to do so.
Was this really fine? I was kind and selfless. I had never been bad to anyone but why did this keep happening to me? I was very irritated and mad at my own ignorance. I let this situation happen.
I had a feeling that my ex-wife was cheating on me but I turned a blind eye since I believed her. But to think, she went this far. Was she really happy about this? Why would God forsake this? This was total bullshit.
My body inadvertently fell on the bed. I grasped my chest and I couldn't breathe. I clenched my teeth as the pain continued to hurt my whole body. I vomited blood when I tried to stand up. It was completely a hellish experience of my lifetime. For all of this suffering, I knew my time would finally come. My body had already reached its limit and it wouldn't take too long before I died in this shelter.
So, this was my end. I wanted to change and took revenge against my oppressors. I wanted to live a happy life, however, it was impossible.
I coughed blood again.
'Please God. End this.' I asked, silently.
The underneath of my eyelids turned black and I could feel my soul and body would separate.
'God, please. End this.' I begged, crying.
"Fu~Fu~Fu~Fu~" a soft and feminine giggle echoed in the room.
I rolled my eyes to search for the owner of the voice and I got surprised when I found her.
A beautiful blindfolded woman who wore white gothic clothes was looking down at me. Her dress had three red strips around her chest, and she had purple sleeves covered her upper shoulder. Her body was slim and her curves had shown up a little bit. She had short platinum hair and a black small cap with a skull logo above her head.
"Greetings, " said the mysterious girl who took her noble hat off while her other hand raised a little bit her skirt with a curtly. "Good evening, pitiful man. I can see you're coming to see the maker tonight."
I tried to spoke but she stopped me.
"Please, don't speak any further. Just take a rest and listen very carefully. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Courier. The courier of the poor soul to the afterlife. But I don't need to tell my story since we've got no time. I have to make haste. Now, let me show you something, please take a closer look."
I turned my gaze at the screen she summoned. I saw my ex-wife and her new lover, now her second husband, eating in a high-class restaurant. She wore a fine dress that suitable for her status as a slut.
My wife giggled as she looked at her phone. She said, "Brilliant, my ex-husband sent me another money tonight. He's really a reliable living wallet."
'Living wallet? This slut called me a reliable living wallet, huh? Fucking bitch, screw you!' I exclaimed inside my mind.
"Ho~ho, women are really scary. Don't you feel guilty for all of what you did? I heard that he has been jobless ever since that court trial. He must be working so hard to send you a little bit of his savings to support your child," yakked his new husband as he sliced some portion his beef.
"Nope, I don't. I don't regret everything, honey. Y'know, he's really annoying sometimes," she added.
"Oh, how could you say that? Do you even know the man? He's a really reliable man, to be honest. I started to feel sorry for that man," said the new husband as he took a sip from his glass of wine.
"Well, he doesn't send me the right amount as usual. I think I should ― Damn it, I should probably not so exaggerated about that child support. He's just a fool who you can easily manipulate on your palms," she chatted, covering her mouth with delight.
"By the way, may I mind asking? Who is the father of that child?" asked her new husband as he looked at her seriously. The woman giggled as she answered confidently, "Oh, that?" Her eyes diverted to the side and made a comment, "Of course, she's our child."
My face turned pale after hearing that important confession. The courier turned off the screen and stretched her arms up.
"Okay, that's the end of the short video. Umm, the video is live right now. They are enjoying themselves while you're on the verge of your dying. It is quite unfortunate for you to experience such a thing so I am here to give you a little present," said the courier as she summoned a briefcase on her palm. She put down the pink case on the ground and several cute floppy things appeared after she opened it.
Ten features in the form of a black globe had been shown in front of me. Her face turned dark with a crescent moon smile.
"Now, listen well. Congratulations, you've been chosen by me as my 100th transmigrator. This ten circle of life contains a variety of different worlds. Please choose one so we can start to bring you to your new world," she explained briefly.
Huh? A new life? ― In other words, I would be reincarnated to another world.
Right, reincarnation was a real deal for everyone, especially in East Asia. I couldn't believe this was happening right now. But I was not a fan at all.
I would die tonight, but my soul would be transferred to another dimension. This was my second chance to change my life and corrected my past mistake.
I extended my arm and I pointed at the fourth circle.
"Oh, you manage to pull it through. Wow, you choose a good place to be reincarnated. This world has reached humanity's potential to the outer space. Science and magic have finally reached their high standard and consequently, these two factors had become part of their daily lives. It sounds crazy but humans have a long lifespan compared to this shitty world. I know you cannot easily understand it this time but let me tell you that this world has advanced to the edge of tomorrow. In the territory that I chose for you, the people out there returned to the feudal system, and it has a lot of potential buildings for your life to explore and enjoy. Space conquest, pirate hunting, and planetary colonialism are the three best features for you to choose from. I swear in my life, you won't definitely get bored," effused the courier. "Oh, well. You live a pathetic life in this bad and ugly world so much, so I will make sure to give you a good place to live in. I swear that I would make sure that you would live better than this."
'Live a normal life? I tried to live like that from my elementary to college days but it failed me. I won't aim for such a lame dream.' ― my thought
Space conquest sounded nice to my ears. That time, I promised myself that I would take a different path. I was gentlemen and those bastards used my good personality to their advantage. This time, I would take the path of the villain. I wouldn't dare to let myself be cheated. I wanted to stomp the face of every person who dared to fight against me. Therefore, all of the things I failed to get would be mine.
Evil versus evil. Only the evil path could defeat the darkness. And that's what I take to my end.
I thanked this beautiful courier for giving me a chance to take this path. I would definitely never forget this.
I promised to be the most vicious man in that world!
