-------------------
"Your child only received minor injuries, she's safe now." A doctor said. In front of him, were the parents of the child who was involved in an accident.
Hearing the doctor's statement, the mother's pent up tension was released from her body making her legs turn to jelly as she fell to the ground. However, her husband caught her just in time as he held her in a loving embrace.
Soft sobs could be heard from the mother who had buried her head unto her husband's chest.
"We have to make it up to the boy's family." the father said with a solemn look on his face. The wife nodded without saying another word. Overwhelming gratitude could be felt if one would look at the two people who were so grateful for what the boy did for them.
Approximately half an hour earlier...
"My luck these past few days when doing gacha have been downright shit." Tyler mumbled while fiddling with his phone.
"I should stop doing gacha and just focus on getting resources." he added. However,a second later his finger stopped as his gaze fixated on the highlighted banner that was on his phone.
[ " !New Character! " - Mischku ]
"... " An internal battle was going on inside Tyler's head. Should he save or just close his eyes and tap the draw button? Honestly, he himself doesn't know.
After a few seconds of debate, he arrived at the most logical conclusion! And that was to...
"The resources can wait after I get this new character!" Yes, what more logical conclusion than to close your eyes and try your luck?
While he was trying his luck, his feet automatically stopped and when he looked at why. He found himself surrounded by people who were also waiting for the traffic light to turn red. Tyler was at the forefront and was just two steps away from the road.
[ Ding! ]
A notification so familiar to him reached his ears. He couldn't help showing a silly smile because that notification could only mean one thing!
However, just when he was about to look at his phone. A little girl in her maybe 7 or 8 years, appeared in the corner of his right eye. The little girl chased her pink ball that rolled its way towards the road.
BEEEEEEEEEP!
Tyler's mind went blank and before he could process what happened, he found himself running towards the little girl and tightly hugged her protecting her from any kind of harm.
Screams and shouts could be heard from every direction before-
BOOOM!
Tyler could feel the bones of his body break into pieces and pierce his insides. In that instant, Tyler wanted to scream so badly for all the pain he felt in that moment. However, just like how fast it came it also vanished so quickly. Making Tyler think that, that brief moment of excruciating pain was just a product of his imagination after being hit by a car.
Tyler managed to get a glimpse of the clear blue skies making him feel at peace. 'So peaceful.' Tyler instantly thought before everything in his vision went black.
. . . . .
- Present Time -
Incoherent pleads and cries can loudly be heard inside of the Hospital's ER(Emergency Room).
"You brat... dared to... die before me." Tyler's father nagged at his boy for the last time before his tears finally fell from his eyes. He stood there holding his son's still warm hand as he silently cried his heart out.
Tyler's mother on the other hand had it worse. She cried and cried until she panted for breath and couldn't shed any more tears. Tyler's older sister also was in the same situation because she loved her younger brother very much after all she was the one who took care of him when he was still an infant.
Regret could be felt from the bereaved family. If only they spend time with him more, if only they didn't let him leave the house this day, if only... If only he didn't save that little girl. Now, it was all too late and his life was already lost.
However, all of them knew that it wasn't anyone's fault and were only venting their frustrations hoping to feel a little bit better and understand a little bit better why Tyler left so early leaving them behind.
The sound of the door opening caught everyone's attention inside the ER. A woman in her late twenties and a man in his early thirties went inside the ER and went towards Tyler's family.
Tears could be seen from the woman's already swollen eyes as she came closer while the man was barely holding his tears from falling.
Both of them knelt down in front of Tyler's family as they pleaded for forgiveness and cursed themselves for being incompetent parents who couldn't watch over their child.
The bereaved family couldn't help but soften at the sight of the two person who were prostrating and pleading for forgiveness. They had steeled themselves that if the parents of the child that Tyler saved were ungrateful bunch, they would make them have a piece of their mind in the worst way possible.
Now that they know that the child's parents were so grateful and asked for forgiveness. They even said sorry for being an incompetent parent who couldn't watch over their child and were even prostrating, because of that Tyler's family couldn't help but soften. Tyler's family helped them get up on their feet and did their best to console them that it wasn't anybody's fault and that they weren't blaming them for the death of their precious family member, Tyler.
While all of this was happening, a certain boy's soul was hovering in the emptiness where nothing was in sight except for absolute darkness.
'Ugh it's so dark I can't see! Hello? Anyone there?!' Tyler practically shouted however no voice or whatsoever came out from his mouth.
What he felt was very vague and Tyler couldn't point what he really felt. A second later, Tyler just shrugged and let it be after all he couldn't do anything about it.
A moment after that, Tyler's shoulder dropped and grievance took place in his 'heart'. Thoughts after thoughts started to fill his mind.
Did I save that little girl?
I really did die, right?
Mom and dad are probably devastated about my death. Especially big sis, she's been attached to me since I was still a wee old baby.
Tyler 'chuckled' at the thought of his family. If Tyler wasn't a floating soul or whatever form he is right now, Tyler himself was sure that tears would continue to fall from his eyes, cry his heart out until he would gasped for breath.
If only I just let...
Tyler shook his 'head' before he could finished his dangerous thought, a thought that he knew he would regret later if he was able to finish that thought.
'Mom, Dad, Sis, don't worry I don't regret my decision saving that little girl. My only regret in this world is that I died as a virgin.'
Ah, if only Tyler's family knew what their 'dead' family member was thinking right now, they would definitely won't think twice and be the ones to throw his corpse in to the sea for the fish to eat.
Tyler continued to float for an indefinite period of time until suddenly, he instinctively 'stopped' drifting away and notice the slight disturbance in front of him.
Light
Yes, it was light that was in front of him.
Just when Tyler was about to 'voice' out his question, the light instantly became bigger and engulfed him whole. Causing Tyler to wince and instinctively 'close' his 'eyes'.
A moment later, inaudible sounds reach Tyler's ears and he could feel the touch of someone's hand holding him, causing him to slowly open his eyes.
When Tyler opened his eyes what he saw was only blurry images of his surroundings because if not for that damn light that blinded him he would still be able to see clearly! However, as time went by, his healthy vision gradually returned.
In that moment, what he saw made his inexperienced heart flutter. With her beautiful charcoal colored hair that was only slightly below her shoulders paired with golden brown eyes that looked at him adoringly. And even though her lower body was covered with cloth because of the labor she had done, it still failed to hide her curvaceous body. Looking at her figure, Tyler could say without a doubt that no woman on Earth was as beautiful as the woman who was in front of him right now.
Tyler was about to mouth something when he instinctively cried aloud.
Tyler's action of crying after being born made the woman in front of him look at him with loving gaze, she then gently lowered her cloth and nudged her baby to drink his fill.
'What in the actual shit?!' Tyler internally screamed as his gaze fixated on the 'thing' in front of him which had a pink beautiful nipple.
