"Hey! Do you want to reincarnate?"
"Huh?"
"You can talk?" Ryan exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise. He leaned in, curiosity bubbling over as he tried to grasp how this being, glowing with vibrant light, was capable of speech. The air around him seemed to shimmer with energy, and he felt a mix of wonder and anticipation, eager for an explanation of this astonishing phenomenon.
"Yes," came the reply, a single word that was both clear and unambiguous. The simplicity of the response caught Ryan off guard, causing him to furrow his brow in confusion and disappointment.
'Wait I'm getting off-topic I need to ask him how I got here and what is happening,' Ryan started thinking inwardly.
He shifted in confusion, mentally questioning, 'What's going on? After all the bullshiy I've faced, there's still more? And what does he mean by reincarnation? Is he saying he's going to kill me and toss me back into the cycle? What's his motive here and why would he even do that?'
The being of pure light patiently awaited Ryan's response. Noticing his silence, it pondered, 'Perhaps he doesn't grasp what I'm saying, or maybe he's unfamiliar with the concept of reincarnation. Should I read his mind?' After a moment, it dismissed the idea and said inwardly. 'Let's not, that would be pretty boring.'
Thinking that it would be boring to read his mind instead the being made out of light asked him, "Do you not understand what reincarnation is? If you don't, I can explain it to you," hearing that unsettling, chilling voice brought Ryan out of his internal chaos.
'Whatever, I'll just go with the flow. First, I need to calm down. Panicking here won't help me,' Ryan took a deep breath in and breathed out.
"No, I do understand what is reincarnation, but why me like I'm an average guy with nothing special to me and why are you trying to reincarnate me do you want me to do something for you after reincarnation and where is this place, "Ryan started asking questions till he was out of his breath.
"And How did I come..."
"Wait," the being made a stopping gesture with his hand and said, "One question at a time," it said calmly
Ryan stopped talking and took a deep breath, allowing himself a moment to regroup. "Alright," he exhaled, feeling slightly more composed.
The being stood at his place and continued to watch Ryan taking a deep breath when Ryan finally stabilized himself the being said, "Now you can ask me whatever you want but remember that there are some questions that I will not be answering," After saying that the being stops talking and waited for Ryan questions.
Ryan gives a nod to that being and asks his first question, "What is your name and what exactly are you."
"Umm my name, that is interesting I expected you to ask me something about reincarnation or how you got here first, but anyway you can call me 'Kaishi',"
"So, kaishi, you still haven't answered my second question. What exactly are you," Ryan paused, making it clear he was waiting for kaishi to answer.
Kaishi brought his hand close to his chin and made a gesture of thinking; with a slight smirk, he leaned back and declared, "Humm, let's say this is one of the questions I won't be answering," he said with an air of nonchalance.
Ryan felt his lips twitch and a vein throb at his temple, 'This bast#rd is toying with me. No, Ryan, calm down. There is no use in getting mad here; it won't help me. I need to focus and get as much information as I can from him. And the way he said 'won't' instead of 'I can't,' then it means he can answer it, but he doesn't want to,' Ryan thought inwardly.
While Ryan was having an internal monologue, kaishi looked at him and thought inwardly, 'This human is quite slow he can't even process some simple word.'
Ryan, finally having settled his emotions aside, asks his third question, "Then my 3rd question is why you won't answer my second; what is the reason," Ryan intensely looks at Kaishi waiting for his answer.
"Well, the reason, I won't answer your second question is because there is no need for you to know right now, and won't it be boring to know everything before the journey even begins? Just like in movies, when you know the ending of it, doesn't the movie become boring, right," Kaishi said all those words like he was enlightening some fool who knows nothing about the world.
Ryan who was expecting the answer to be something like 'I just don't want to' or 'I'm too lazy to explain it to you' was rather thankful that he at least gave him some reason, for why he wouldn't answer my question, 'but why is he comparing my situation to some kind of movie, and saying it would be boring to know the ending,' Suddenly Ryan realized something, 'don't tell me this bas#tard is bored and he wants some kind of entertainment and that entertainment is me, reincarnating and watching me go through hell.'
Ryan was beyond furious and was gritting his teeth to not lash out at Kaishi, 'this light bulb, what does he think he is,' Ryan took a deep breath to calm his anger, 'Let's calm down if he can teleport me from Earth to in this dark place then killing me also won't be a problem also I can't just die at twenty and leave my old parents behind right, so stay calm and don't fu#k this up Ryan,' Ryan said that to himself.
"So, what is your fourth question,"
Kaishi, who was already used to Ryan getting lost in his thoughts, asked. So, he can bring him out of his thoughts.
Ryan, who was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts, started laughing awkwardly while scratching his head back and said, "Hahaha, sorry, it is one of my bad habits, getting lost in thought."
"Okay, now then, what is your fourth question," Kaishi said with a casual demeanor.
With the laughter fading, Ryan's expression turned serious as he asked his fourth question, "Why did you choose me?"
