As I watched the blob of water in front of me that continues to bob up and down, it continues to say
"I will send you away from here. You will start everything over and live a better life. In exchange for that I will be taking your place in both the punishment and slot in heaven."
I, who have lost all interest in living again because of the way I died start to frown and answered.
"What the hell are you talking about? There's no way such a good deal is true!"
"Yes, there is! And it's here! FFS I'm just bored as hell! So I give you this chance! Just accept it I will even give you an extra gift!
It's already the edge of the 9th cycle and that guy still didn't stop cycling this world damn it!"
Answered the blob of water with a bit of grumbling towards the end of his sentences.
"What do you mean to send me away from here anyway? Who are you to take me away from here? God? I don't think so. And no I don't want to be reborn in a world again.
*hmph and here I thought your deal would be something like the lessening of my punishment or something close to that. Why would I want to be born again? In a way, I died because I raised my own killer you know?! And Alice too!! Shit, I can't get angry at my own daughter!! Arrrrggghhh it's frustrating you know?! The way I died is just ridiculous!"
I said as I kept on saying how ridiculous my death is.
"And here goes your lengthy rant that you always show to everyone except your daughter. Here, I read your soul book and it's no wonder that your "Beloved" daughter Alice did what she did. At the age of 9 did you remember that you say you are raising her to be your wife? I bet you already forgot about it, after all, you can't look at her the way you look at a ripening fruit anymore after taking care of her for more than 5 years right? You started to realize that she's a human too after your bitter feeling is gone swallowed by time right?!"
Suddenly, he replied to my rant by admonishing me about how I was in the wrong because I told Alice that I was going to take her as my wife.
(But that's no reason to blame me for everything you know. After all, at that time I was still deep in the worst condition of my whole life. If I remember correctly that was about 1 or 2 years after my girlfriend whom I met in my original work left me on the streets after she took all my possession.)
Reading my mind, this blob of water continued
"Look here, little friend I know at that time your life is hard. I understand. In this soul book, I can even feel your emotion. How you feel that it's unfair, how everything in life is hopeless. And how you regret that you didn't know about your women's personality earlier. But all of that is no reason to take a kid who is only 7 years old and start conditioning her into liking you. To make matters worse you just have to say that you will take her to be your wife?! She is only 9 for f*ck sake! And considering how she lived by herself in the slum since 5 with all those abuses from all those f*cked up people, it's no wonder that she took your words very seriously."
Surprised by how angry this blob of water is, I anxiously answered.
"I was young back then how do I even know how kids her age thinks after she goes through all that?! And at that time I think that if I was late in making her think that she can only be with me, she will leave me. What do you know about people with low self-esteem like me think after I got betrayed like that?!"
The blob of water wanted to continue arguing with me but suddenly stopped and says
"Alright, whatever about your personal life. It doesn't matter anymore here anyway. Let's talk about the deal that I said before."
Still feeling worked up, I answered
"Okay then, tell me more about it."
Floating closer to me, the blob of water started to speak
"So just like you say before, there's no way such a good deal is true. So here's my requirement for me to send you away.
There's only one thing that you have to do for me. I need you to get a paper. The paper is the ripped page of the akashic record. I think that you already know what akashic record is but I will tell you about it again anyway.
The akashic record is a book that was created as the foundation of this world. Inside this book, there's a record of both the future and the past. There's also the record of everything that existed in this world. Even hell, heaven, your human world, and even that buffer zone you were in before are recorded inside that book.
Currently, the akashic record lost 2 pages of it. It was lost because Satan stole the whole book sometime in the 3rd major cycle. I don't know why he did that but I do know that 2 pages of the book are ripped because Gabriel is too rough when taking back the book. Currently, one page is in Satan's hand and another is in the world rift that shows up every time a major cycle is ending. All you have to do is take it back from the world rift when it opened up"
When this blob of water finished explaining what akashic record is, I was interested in a few words he says. So I asked him
"What do you mean by major cycle? Before this you also said something about the 9th cycle too."
The blob of water then answered with a more serious tone
"Do you really want to know about it? Actually, I don't know whether or not it's okay to tell an ordinary human like you though. How about you just ask God about that? By the way, what do you think about the deal? Are you interested? You don't have to take the page from Satan, you can just take the one in world rift. It's not that hard anyway. You just have to go inside it, look around a bit and take it. See? Easy right? Get in, look around, take it, and then get out."
I was about to answer this blob of water when suddenly something happened. There was a booming voice echoing throughout this dark world.
"Adam, that's enough. You don't have to look for that page. I can just take it myself when I need to. And you don't have to stay here anymore. I already told you so many times that your sin is already forgiven a long time ago. There's no need to make your life harder by giving punishment to yourself."
Even though the tone is gentle, the voice was so loud that it makes my ears keep on ringing even after the voice is gone. And then I realized one word that was said, "Adam"?!
This blob of water is Adam? The first human in the world? The one who ate the forbidden fruit?!
