11:10 PM
A start of a rainy season has come, a roaring thunder has transpired as if there was a God who is mocking a person iniquity, every drop of rain brings a stinging sensation like a piercing needle in the ears of Lory.
His house is full of corrugated sheets from the roof down to its walls, with every wind it blew, the house feels like it is about to be demolished like a pine tree standing in the storm as fragile as it is. There are a thousand leaks in his roof as it feels like the gloomy cloud has entered his room, the floor inside his room is full of cracks like an aftershock of an earthquake, with the resulting of the storm him touching the floor gives him warmth as cold as a dead person.
"Is God being that desirous to make me suffer-?"
"Why does it hurt to say that I'm dying-?"
A question of a sixteen-year-old kid named Lory, with an abusive family the only thing he holds is a broken heart as he gazes at the abyss of darkness even a bitter light cannot even enter his ghastly mind.
Lory has dark curly hair, as it was as fluffy as the wool of a black sheep, a tanned skin and a jawline as sharp as a dinosaur or any reptile you could ever see, which made him seem older for his young age, he always holds his nebulizer as his life depends on it, for he was a weak sensitive kid. Assuming that he is a lonely kid is an understatement, for every place he travels he finds a way to meet a new person to talk to.
Lory is an only child but is often called a mistake by the exasperated father he has.
The Gods were never satisfied with the suffering of his family though, for he has a mother who is as scared as a soaked kitten and a father who is as furious as a bull who always sees a red sign in front of him, he holds a beer so often like it was his source of liquid inside his body. Thus, his mother is in a very abusive state as she pukes blood as salty as the sea in every punch his father makes.
As with a glance at every blink he does, a shattering memory starts to hasten."This family used to be happy right? no... it has always been like this", that statement started to echo from his head as he listens to the eerie screams of his parents outside his room as it feels like he is forced into a cage where the hell is located
At his bed, his body is covered with a wet blanket as he always wet himself when his parents wrangle full of curses as it was a shout of the devil himself. He cries with a revelation in his head that constantly starts to echo, he grabbed both of his hands and prayed.
"God... Please fix this... please... My mother has suffered enough, I had suffered enough...? all my life I have served on you... the only wish I could give is to hold your palm and for you to cover my ears..."
"If it is something too big to pray for...if then can you just take my life...?"
His very first suicidal thought, is a prayer to God, as he was thinking will his parent feel relieved as he escaped this disconsolate life of his.
Lory is desperate for a hug but as an only child, the only thing that would pamper him is a pillow.
11:11 PM
As He held his pillow, a light outside his window emerges, though it was only a pile of woods he can see a shining spark on the outline of it.
He had rushed and opened his window as his curiosity starts to spark.
"Is this the answer coming from God...?"
And at last...
He sees a fairy-like creature, it has bunny-like ears and an eye as pure and dark as an angel, it has a hand as soft as a marshmallow and a tone as purple as a bellflower who is about to bloom.
It spoke with a voice of a very pure child, and a choice of a word like it was an angel that is sent from the Gods above.
"Don't be frightened child, for I am here to comfort you hold my hand and I will show you what is life is like"
It sounds so pure like you are listening in a harmony of an angel singing from the heavens above.
Lory is so astonished that he shows an expression of an infant who has heard his very first words, he placed his hand at the ground and smacked his head to be sure it wasn't a dream, and with this a very sparkly eye he gained that without a doubt he immediately touched the fairy's palm.
Everything turns dark, and as Lory opened his eyes he is in a place so new yet so familiar, a breeze as cold as the snows with an unknown touch of the wind, around them is a sight of an infinite possibility as he floats the end of space full of occurring timeline that he was, he never had, and he should have experienced.
The experience he felt is like an old man remembering all of his achievements in his life, though some of this memory is not meant for him, it is for the other him from the reality he never knew has existed, or to reality has not even happened yet.
It has full of a happy ending, him winning an award for a talent he think all his life is a mediocre waste of time that even his parents are against with it calling it a waste of money and effort, a life full of great friends that he might still have now if he has not stopped going to school due to the shortage of their family's cash, and even him with a girl with a very unfamiliar face that it would change his life forever.
Lory felt relief or rather motivated for it is full of him with a pure smile.
"So, this is the 'me' I will experience if have the perfect parents huh? Lucky you... or rather Lucky me if I would ever feel that"
He had a very momentarily thinking, as he tried to picture himself begetting those events in his life, he started to seemed like he needed something that means needing inside of him.
"If only I have what it takes to have this experience, am I right? haha."
A jokingly expression to try to lighten up the mood he gave after seeing every single memory timeline in their brief weird journey, though a very short sigh he gave after all of his self-doubts starts to come up.
As they were about to reach the very end of their tour full of memories, Lory started to contemplate at the fairy, as all the time they spent the fairy never speaks nor looked at him like he was handling a piece of troubling news for Lory at the end of the very end of their trip.
The fairy started to speak with a soft childish voice, so pure that even a tear would fall like you experienced peace for the very first time, it surprised Lory's thoughts at the fairy, and that he established his ears focusing only on the fairy as it started to speak.
"May I introduce myself? My name is Henchi, I am an essence decedent from an angel created by God, I hold the truly infinite probabilities of the very person in this world, I am like a guardian angel as I guide you into the most comprehensive ending you could ever wish for."
Lory shows up a pretty response childish expression who is expecting a gift from a parent who is about to go home from a particularly long trip the way Lory shows his smile, though the fairy has a conflicting sentiment to Lory.
"We have a problem, Lory, with all the reality we observed upon to only yours has a pretty distressing ending."
As they float into the concluding part of their journey, Lory foresees the ending of the current state he would experience. His heart begins to elevate rapidly with a sensation as his brain was struck by the lightning so terrifying that it even roars inside his head, he started to petrify, remarkably shocked that he retains his ears with his perspiring palms and began to tremble and screamed as he was about to sink.
He saw a cold dead body hanging inside his room, with a very unsettling smirk like it was well pleased that he killed himself. It was the body of Lory as if it was God who has answered his only prayer.
He has a pretty eerie-like reaction with a stuttering mouth of him as he drools his saliva that he started to puke, he felt like a part of him has died- no he felt like he experienced death after seeing his body hanging like a puppet played by a toddler.
Henchi disconnected Lory from that reality, and as Lory realized that he has returned from his room, he started to cover up his mouth to calm down like he is more troubled on his father getting irritated on him than seeing his death itself,
As he crawled slowly to get his nebulizer, he stopped as if it was the very first time he felt true grief in his existence that he deliberately hugged himself as he sobers silently with an expression so depressed that even the most cold-hearted person would weep with him...
Henchi kissed his forehead and spoke with a very child-like voice that has finished shedding tears. Henchi lifts Lory's head and showed him a smile as beautiful as the sunset, trying to give him hope to an almost permanently broken person.
"I know what you felt Lory, I have experienced that too after seeing what ending your life would end up, a very 'disheartening sight' that can even place God down to his throne just to hug you."
Therefore, I have concluded a way to fix your ending"
"In 3 years, that distressing ending of yours will happen so..."
"I will provide you 1 miracle in every year until we passed that 3 years, so you will have a total of Three miracles, You can either be... Wealthy!... SMART!!... Or Just be happy!?! Three of those OK? Ok? Let's fix that ending of yours!!!"
With the emotion Lory has felt he never perceived what to respond to Henchi anymore, the only thing he ever did is to give Henchi is a lifeless stare as an acknowledgment of Henchi's Proposal...
Henchi flinched from the sight he was seeing since it was so sudden that Lorry reacted so unconcerned that Henchi doesn't know what to respond to either.
"so...? what kind of miracle do you want right now...?"
Lory rubbed his eyes and nose full of tears and snot, like a child who has finished crying after being given ice cream.
And as he stands up with a lifeless expression, he hugged Henchi like he was a stuffed soft fluffy toy and wished. On his mind is full of self-doubt, depression, and anxiety that the only thing he began to think is his self-centered desires on how he could fix this.
"I want to be rich, with this... my- my Parents may not suffer anymore."
A selfless voice is foreseen from a Kid like Lory, but deep inside hides a wave of anger from both of his parents for the reason why his life is so fucked up.
As Henchi struggles with the clinginess Lory is giving, Henchi gave a diminishing form with an amidst warning for Lory.
"Every choice you would do will create a form of either a demon or an angel towards thee"
"Your wish is my command; may we see again in the next upcoming year"
Henchi light slowly fades as with his form either with a very disturbing expression, as the purity child-like act of Henchi was just a performance..., or was it? Lory felt a rather unnerving feeling he ever felt like he signed dealing with a devil.
And Thus, a quake has commenced, divulging all reality he underwent. Every logic that specified has been demolished, and every unproven philosophy has been established, Lory felt like his soul has transpired decedent from heaven backward to earth, he saw every nonexistent visual and felt every non-existing feeling a human being should nevermore felt.
"It feels like my body and soul has been ripped off from the existence, like every matter that inside of me has been crushed into pieces just to establish another form of being"
After the phenomenal he underwent, a light has emerged in front of him; and as he enters in it, an unknown feeling on his soul has risen with the feeling of every pleasure has been released on him after all of the disheartening experience that has ever happened to his existence.
Lory woke up, the current season was autumn the breeze of the trees has touched his skin like a baby experiencing his very first walk outside, with the singing birds so lively Lory stood up in his bed just to see his fully polished glassed mirror confused on what the hell just happened. He did not wake up from the place of the lower-class people like he was always been but in a place so elegant that even the richest person would fight for it.
It is a traditional-style house with a remarkable trait, painted with a white polished chroma as radiant as the sun itself. As though to express its beauty, a garden loaded with a flower so delicate and exceptional that it is believed to be seen only once in a lifetime.
Its tile roof is believed to be as strong as titanium even its breaking point is approximately impossible to be precise.
He walks throughout the house confused as a hundred maids are bowing in front of him while both his parents are seen at the window yelling in front of his gate like a beggar who is desperate enough to steal and kill a person.
His father is in a highly energetic enthusiasm as he jumped back and forth to the gate, while her mother looks like a helpless puppy that has been driven around by his father just for his plan to be exact.
"UAAAAAAAAAAH IS MY SON'S THERE- what his name again...?"
"L-Lory..? LORY!! LET US ENTER PLEASE? WE'RE YOUR PARENTS, WE RAISED YOU RIGHT!? WE WON'T FIGHT AGAIN I SWEAR!! SO PLEASE CAN YOU OPEN UP THE GATES!"
"LET'S BE A HAPPY FAMILY LIKE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN!"
His parent is trying so hard to deceive him like Lory is still in his toddler age, they sound so ignorant that even a young small girl would call the police after just sighting them.
Lory is so confused while trying to remember what happened last night as similar to a person who just woken up in a very deep hangover after drinking a ton of beers, and as he walks by his mansion the TV starts to play, a reporter in a black suit and a black long hair holding her paper is announcing worldwide news, so surprising that it makes the reporter stands up just to announce the news.
"We have received a report from the authorizations, a mysterious event has happened last night, an enormous thunder strike has struck the sea pacific, it resulted in a gigantic tsunami affecting a thousand of civilians near the events taken. It killed 3,500 more civilians and another 10,000 more further is injured"
Lory blankly stared at the television as it was like a dream, he slowly hears a rather ear-splitting noise that he vigorously covered his ears.
"It hurts...! My head...! AAAAAARGHH!!! What's... happening?!"
As it's get's painful he sees a very hazy memory of what happened last night, an announcement on the television has been announced.
"Furthermore, based on the sources. The bank has announced that there is a current contender on the richest man in the world placing 5th with a wealth of 97 billion net worth, his name is
"Lory Nullan".
Lory gazed at the tv with a bewildered expression as he remembered everything that happened to him last night, his memory has spread so fast that it feels like he experienced his whole existence in a very one take, with all of this happening, the only response he could ever give is a-tremble with excitement that he has.
And so, the very first day of Lory experiencing his wish has begun.
