Hearing the story from the old man, Evan was in deep thoughts
The story of the old man's life opened up the path to solving his ongoing crisis.
' Let go of your past, Huh. '
Thinking that he started training his body to get used to it.
Stretching his body he started jumping for a few minutes and then started doing push-ups.
This had been his daily schedule from the past week when he was finally able to move his body around freely.
He was not only doing this so that he could keep his body active as he had to leave once this week passed and he wanted to be in his top shape. But also so that he could keep himself busy and not think about unnecessary thoughts.
' I might be able to deal with that tonight I hope. '
He was determined to face it properly.
As for reading books?
He was done with them a week ago!
He had read and comprehended around one hundred or so books containing a vast knowledge about politics, mathematics, all branches of science, and so on. Even the old man was speechless after learning that.
After his long 10 hours of training, Evan saw that the old man still hadn't arrived yet. So, he thought the Hades might be late today as well.
The old man had no routine he may very well be at home for the whole day and might be outside for another.
So, Evan decided to have dinner on his own, living on his own in his previous life he had excellent cooking skills leaving the old man astonished when he first heard of it.
After having dinner he wants to the bed with a serious look on his face.
' Let's get it done. '
Laying down he fell asleep.
***
In his dream, Evan found himself in front of Harman, his face suddenly lit up.
" Oh Harman, you over with your sift."
" Yeah, worked my ass off. "
It was the same as ever, living that whole day all over again.
It was the same after that as well, until
" Mmff ... Mmfff"
" Oh, you two seem to know each other. "
When a man in a white dress spoke while looking at Evan who was in front of him on his knee with blood flowing out from one of his legs.
" How about it, I have a proposal for you to work for me and I will let you go. "
" If you promise not to hurt us anymore. "
A reply comes from Evan without hesitation.
Man looked at Evan and then
* Bang *
A bullet pierced through the head of Harman and his body lost any sign of life.
" No! "
" You Bastard I will kill you! "
" I will fucking kill you. "
" Kill how? "
The man paying no attention to the threats said.
Evan was overwhelmed with anger, This anger was directed at everything the man standing in front of him, the unfairness of the world, and even at his weakness.
Seeing that there was no way out Evan was feeling weak very very weak. When his surroundings suddenly lit up.
He saw an old man in his 60s in simple clothes and remembered
' Kid this is the game of mind don't let it control you. '
' You cannot change the past don't stress it. Learn for it and move on, be in the present kid. '
Remembering the words of Hades, Evan realized that he was in a dream, a dream about the incident that happened reality, something that happened almost a month ago.
It will not change anything by releasing his anger here.
Just as he was having thought of this being a dream and that nothing will change.
He found himself standing on the surface of the still lake. There was no one here except for him and a certain brown-haired young man in his late 20s.
" Harman "
Evan called out for him with a soft smile on his face while moving forward creating small ripples on the still water underneath his feet.
" Oh Brother, you finally woke up from that dream huh."
" I have been waiting for so long. "
" Yeah took me so long. "
Evan replied while stopping just around 10 feet away from Harman.
Waiting for a while he continued.
" We have been through a lot. "
" Yeah "
" Those 28 years with you were a great experience. "
" Hmm "
" I still couldn't believe that we survived for at least 18 years after being kicked out from Orphanage. "
" Hmm.. "
Then with a sad look, Evan said
" It was an unfortunate end. "
" I am sorry because of me.."
" You don't have to be sorry, I know you are not a person to involve yourself with that kind of people. There must be a good reason behind it, regrettably, I will never know it. "
" ....Hmm "
Evan knew that this person in front of him was not a real Harman but the mental image he had of him. But he knew what kind of person Harman was, he was the most righteous person Evan met in his entire life so he knew that there must be a good reason behind the incident.
Even if Harman standing in front of him was not real Evan wanted to say something to him
" Brother I am grateful that I was able to meet you. "
" And I promise you that I will live this life for both of us, I will make it to the pinnacle so that no one will ever look down on me. "
" Good Luck brother. "
After declaring that Evan turned around and started moving in a certain direction leaving Harman behind.
Soon his figure disappeared into nothing.
* HaaaaHuuuuu*
Taking a long breath Evan stood up from his bed.
Walking out of the small house Evan looked up towards the Horizon and then towards the morning sun rising from the East.
He felt a cold breeze on his face.
Clenching his fist he made up his mind.
' To the Pinnacle.'
