Chereads / True Copy / Chapter 49 - The Last Gift

Chapter 49 - The Last Gift

David woke up in a strangely familiar room that he has once seen, except for the messy organization of the area that badly triggered his OCD, the whole place looked like a Japanese-oriented room.

He found himself sitting on a comfortable tatami mat when he regained consciousness and a cup of tea in one hand.

Before him is an entity that he can't describe except for his loose shirt and pants, all of its features are clouded from his memory and mind.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, you woke up."

The being was surprised at his abrupt question as its body suddenly jerked while looking at its phone.

"Hmmm wait."

Before closing its gadget after furiously typing on it.

"So anyway I am not an ROB or GOD but this entire realities entity."

"What?"

"Do you know about the theory of infinite reality? Where all the things have endless possibilities? Well, I am that whole entity where the eternal outcomes just end in one big continual loop."

David can only tilt his head as he vaguely remembers that absurd theory, but what caught his attention is its last statement.

"You see even eternity has its end, creation and destruction, birth and death, start and finish, however, this reality just ends at its beginning."

The being stands up and walks towards the window to light a cigarette in its pouch.

"There is supposed to be an endless version of me to ascend and create a new reality, but all of them became a part of me, and I am stuck in this continual loop."

"??"

David is wordless as he can barely understand its story, however he still nods to at least show that he is still listening despite his confusion.

"My point is that I'm beyond grateful when you suddenly appeared in this messy equation and because of you, this clogged reality finally untangled in its continual loop and I can ultimately ascend."

David continued to nod even when he was still confused, however, it seems like it is thankful for his transmigration.

'Maybe that's why Truck-kun was hired to do those brutal endings.'

He thought before remembering his situation.

"Wait, what happened to me anyway? Did I die?!"

Panicking, he stumbles on his feet when he suddenly stands up, even when he accidentally flipped the table over.

"Haha perhaps as your existence was literally deleted in this reality, however, you are physically unharmed as The Tears of the Goddess has saved you."

"This?"

David touched the now slightly dimmed necklace that symbolizes the love between him and Hephaestus.

"Yep, you see, that is a Divine Artifact that can only be created by a god in heaven. However, Enyo was really brutal as he ensured that not even your existence will survive to let the original timeline continue."

He remembered that Hephaestus had told him that she slightly altered their necklace; however, he didn't believe it as she was immediately invited by Ouranus after that as she had used her Divinity without telling.

"Anyway, it would no longer be a problem when I present to you your final gift, I know that I may be stingy for only granting you only those measly two gifts as I was being careful to not break this reality however now that it was already set in stone I can finally give you this final and ultimate present!"

"Whoaaaa!"

His eye is now sparkling after hearing those long-ass suspensions; however, after hearing that he can receive another gift that he has already forgotten, he can't avoid but be excited.

"My last gift for you would be the singularity of your entity like me!"

A dazzling light blinded David for a few seconds before it disappeared.

"What happened?"

"Huh? You were supposed to disappear after my last gift to you."

"Wait, what does your gift mean?"

"It means that there can only be one true self of yours, no matter what reality you are in! Anyway, you must go, or else your wife and daughter will be in true danger, but I can no longer help you so …."

David with all his will forcefully uses his last gift to use his clone's existence over his own to overwrite the attack unleashed on him; however, it was a mistake that will forever haunt him.

"Finally I can truly die, I just hope that he can manage to live in endless reality without the power like me."

The being throws his cigarette outside the window to resume the time that he has paused before snapping his finger together, causing all his power to be lost forever.

"I have to give you that last gift for me to perish, however as an apology please receive this extra from me."

When the cigarette hit the ground, everything started to break down before ultimately succumbing to nothingness as it was meant to be.

Author here!

These last few chapters have been a bit difficult to comprehend, however, I believe in you!

Anyway, I am here to answer a few important things that some have noticed.

The first is about the lack of character development, well as I said this is my first book, so please understand that this is just an experiment and that this is fanfic from an existing anime Danmachi, so there's no need for me to diverge in an already set story right?

The second is that there are still those who are complaining about his looks and ill explain it again that his 'perfection' is not based on a woman's definition but similar to an elf's perfection, so it means that he is evolving not based on his gender but base on his being.

The third would be my next novel, as you can see this is just a short novel to introduce my next one, and it is almost ending, however, my next novel will be better and longer! I promise.

And last me no hablo ingles! It is not my main language and yes I no grammar wiz!

Just saying!
