Tap..tap .."sh*t"... tap..tap.."shit". I heard a girl's voice and her steps around me.
I opened my eyes and saw a girl who, I think, is around 18. Her black hair, black eyeliner and black lips just scream EMO to me. She's wearing a black robe. On her hand is a phone … huh… A touch screen phone, and she's typing and scrolling through it. She stopped and realized I'm awake. She said, "Good you're up, don't panic, ok! I'm checking Google on what to do in this kind of emergency".
😐With a blank face, I replied," Can I speak to your manager??" … 'I always wanted to say that' I digress.
She panicked.
*Woooosh*…
a guy who is wearing a similar robe appeared. He glanced around looking at the girl, then at me, then at the girl again and let out a deep sigh. "AGAIN?!" the yelled.
"But it's his fault! He didn't move out of the way. It was supposed to be the bike guy's death. Now that guy survived, and this wuss died!!", emo girl yelled.
The manager asked," Were you on your phone?". Pointing at her phone.
"...maybe...", emo girl placing it on her chess then looking down.
'Hmmm... this scene looks familiar…perhaps…' I thought fast and spoke my mind" Uhm… Can we check the CCTV?"
Silence ~
..... there was a silence for a good minute before she hurriedly panicked and said" No, no, no need ok..‐---" she was cut off by the guy while conjuring a giant screen with a bird's-eye view of the scenes earlier.
We can see me passing at the entrance of the gap between the trucks, the biker guy hitting me… and then by the ambulance TRUCK(I'm emphasizing). Surprisingly, I see our Emo girl taking a selfie with the crash as her backdrop while giving a peace sign.
..*cricket*... **cricket **...
The death guy was shaking from anger. Then mumbled to himself for a while and then conjured a conference table with me sitting facing the two of them.
.*tikitik*... *tikitik*...*tikitik*.
Death guy is contemplating while tapping the table. Emo girl is fidgeting about what to say. While I'm already listing what powers I want to have. I'm trying to control my lips from rising. But first, let's clarify things...
I broke the silence, " Will you be sending me back?".
Death guy quickly replied with a sigh, " No. More like we can't. But don't you want to go back? To your family or friends or maybe a girlfriend?"
Now I sigh explaining, "No show father, my mom worked abroad and had a family there. I just see them online. My grandparents raised me, sadly grandpa passed when I'm 14 followed by nana before i finished college. I had friends, but none out of the school circle. And because my nana was already old i ended up taking care of her, sacrificing any social life I can make apart from those in school." Man, I'm more depressed now, looking back.
"That's going to be one sad funeral." Mumbled by the perpetrator herself. We looked at her sternly, silencing her.
Death guy continues, " we can send you to a parallel world, any thoughts?"
I'm high five-ng myself right now. I kept my cool and said, "Is the P*kemon world?"
"Pfff..HAHA.. What are you, a kid?!". Laughed the emo girl while slapping the table.
Manager sigh again at his colleague and looked, "Unfortunately no, that universe is incomplete and a bit unstable to accept a transmigrator or a reincarnation with powers, I assumed you will be asking. Why that world, though, if I may ask?"
I'm putting my words on my mind before saying " because it has creatures you can tame and that kids can go around unsupervised which tells me it is a safe there".
"And that point is why that universe is unstable". Death guy explained, " logic has a hard time explaining things, it's unrealistic! If we put you there, you'll immediately feel something is wrong and that you're interacting with cartoons rather than real people."
I can understand that.
He then proposed, " How about Harry Potter's wizardry world? That place is stable and had already branch out in multiple direction. You can literally guide a new story and no one would care. Albeit you need to anchor on Harry's story, Just get pass that, and you can let loose in the world. So? What say you?
I'm contemplating. The HP world is similar to where I came from. I just had to be a kid again, go to school (full of death flags), I know much of the story, so I can navigate my way there(if becoming a wallflower is an option, why not), there's magic and magical creatures…but…hmm…
I'll ask," Can I be a Tamer in the Wizardry World?
