Chapter 22 - Chapter 22:Life Purpose

****************

Akira fell into a dark abyss and that's when he saw Karina who was slowly disappearing from his sight

his vision blurred until he closed his eyes as he felt his body still falling

'this feeling seems familiar..

Akira said that as his mind felt a sense of deja vu

the feelings he experienced at that time were not fear, emptiness, despair..but what he felt in his heart was a hole that is hard to describe with words..and those feelings were loneliness and loss

Akira slowly closed his eyes while remembering some flashbacks about his family who died and the death of his wife Zuri

***************

pov:Akira

Akira in the previous world..

Akira was at his house watching TV casually while the area outside his house was hit by a thunderstorm

thunder could be heard from outside which indicated that it was raining so heavily that night, Akira who was sitting on a sofa felt uncomfortable with the situation but he just still ignore all that situation.

Akira had loved mornings and sunrises since he was a child because they were beautiful when enjoying the scenery, but that day everything changed..

'cruch! hmm~

Akira is seen watching television shows related to fantasy stories such as heroes..he likes heroes because the hero character is a symbol of the focus of society and he wants to be a hero one day to get praise from society

Akira always hopes to be the main character in order to create a harem.. for him, being the main character in a fantasy story is always experienced with excitement with a romantic love story

'cruch..hmm~

Akira watched TV while eating snacks greedily as his wild imagination began to play in his mind

'wow! my favorite waifu is still Sachi.. sachi you look so cute! crunch! hmmm~

Akira cheered when he saw the heroine he was interested in appearing on the TV screen

Cling!

'hmmm?

The ringing sound from Akira's smartphone rang out indicating that someone had called him

'what the hell! I just wanted to enjoy my favorite tv show, now you want to mess it up! tch..

'cling!

Akira ignored his smartphone calls as he started eating his snacks voraciously and started looking back at the tv with laughter.

*************

Akira repeatedly did not answer the phone call until the call stopped by itself after a long time

'now you've stopped..tch sucks!

Akira made an annoyed expression that time

'ouh? the tv program is over? the story is so good.. oh my god, I hope I can also become a main character one day..

Akira made a happy expression while picking up his smartphone

'oh my god..Sachi as always you are so cute!

Akira praises his smartphone background which is a picture of his favorite waifu

'hhmmm? mother?

Akira unlocked his smartphone and looked at the call history on his smartphone

'27 calls? why?

Akira felt strange with the call from his mother but suddenly..

"knock! knock! hello?

'what happened? Is there anything important?

'umm..hello? Is there anyone at home named Akira?

'wait! im coming..

'creak!

Akira opened the door and saw a strange young man he didn't know

'hello.. are you Akira Mizuki?

'yes? what wrong?

Akira just made an annoyed expression because he felt disturbed..Akira is not someone who likes to socialize with strangers he doesn't know, besides he doesn't have close friends at all

'I sympathize with the loss of your family members.. Mrs. Mizuki Araya died in an accident and was not rescued in time.. I'm sorry..

'what? mother? died?

Akira made his expression paler when he heard the shocking news

'yes I'm sorry Mizuki Araya was found dead at 10.25pm ​​and could not be saved..

Akira looked at the clock on his phone which showed 11:07 pm

'how..hic..arrrgh!!!

'calm down..

Akira knelt down with tears in his eyes and started screaming while the young man was just trying to calm down Akira who was having a mental attack

Akira speculates that her mother tried to call him for the last time in her life when she was dying

but...

Akira who was asleep in his imagination just ignored his mother's call which caused him to fail to accompany his mother who was in pain

he failed as a son to his mother

he failed.....

*************

in a place with beautiful green grass but the weather experienced that day was a thunderstorm that seemed to have been written in the destiny of that day

On a mountain, Akira can be seen mourning his mother's grave while a thunderstorm washes over his body

pitter-patter!

the sound of thunder echoed in the area loudly while Akira just stood in front of his mother's grave without fear

Akira is famous for his character who is afraid of the dark and the sound of lightning striking.. and at one time Akira's house had an electrical problem. Akira would start screaming when his room had no light.

And Akira's mother would always bring a lamp and calm Akira in his room when Akira was scared but That moment won't happen again and forever...

Akira had already lost his mother as if he had also lost his fear of the darkness and the sound of lightning flashing around him

pitter-patter!!!

The strong sound of thunder repeated so that a ray of light illuminated Akira's face which was filled with despair..

'mother... I'm..hic...i-...hic..I'm..sorry..

Akira knelt while crying over his mother's death followed by night and lightning flashed

tap..tap

Akira started walking to the mountainside because he wanted to kill himself

because of great guilt.. Akira doesn't want to go on with his life anymore.. he lost his father when his mother gave birth to him and now his mother died too..only he was left..

Akira starts to lift his legs to drop down and die but he starts opening his smartphone to take one last look at his family picture.. one last time!

'cling!

'hmm?

Akira saw a message that he hadn't

read from yesterday

'mother?

the message was from his mother which he had not read yesterday because he was busy taking care of his mother's body so he was not sensitive to the message

'ding!

Akira opened the message and read it but he started to make an extremely sad expression at that the time..

'hic..mother! why?

Akira wiped her tears while smiling weakly

[ life is full of goals..at least you have to die while fulfilling your life goals and if you don't have a purpose in life..surely one day you will get it ]

[ keep on living Akira...]

the message was addressed to Akira so that Akira would continue to live despite the absence of his mother and no one to lean on..

After that incident, Akira tried to find a purpose in life even though he was often isolated from society and locked himself in his room...

until he met Zuri and she died too..

Akira has fulfilled his mother's wish as well as himself, and now he is trying to fulfill Zuri's long-dead wish but in the end Akira..

still fail..

Akira fell into an abyss of darkness that no one would ever find the end of

finally...I can finally meet you..Zuri..

'whoosh!
