He didn't know what to make of the situation at this point. His first life was pure hell and he could only imagine how much hell a second one could be. With his luck it might even be better to go to literal hell.
After seeing his complicated expression after hearing him, the other party spoke again.
"Is something wrong? You don't seem that enthusiastic."
After hearing the so-called Zero speak again he decided to respond. Only this time his tone was more serious.
"So, let me get this strait. Out of all the people out there, you chose me, a person who wanted to die?"
Zero looked at him and smiled.
"Correct!"
After hearing such a short answer he couldn't help but be angry.
"I don't think you understand what I am trying to say here. I decided to jump off that building because I hated my life. What makes you think that I, out of all the people, I would want to live again?"
Zero smiled once again hearing his explain.
"I am sorry to say that but you misunderstand something. It's not about you wanting it. I have watched your life from the beggingto the end... No, that's wrong. I have both lived and experienced your life from your perspective till now."
He looked at him confused after hearing him speak.
Zero though, even after noticing his confused face, didn't bother to let him ask anything.
"You see, I am a really powerful being. I have powers that you can't even conceive. Normally, I wouldn't bother to even look at such inferior beings such as yourself but you are special. That's why I want you to understand that you really don't have a choice but to accept my gift or whatever I give you. Whether you want it or not."
After hearing that he couldn't help but shiver. It was not his speech that made him fell like that though, but something else. It was as if the world around was suddenly becoming more dangerous. As if the will of the being called Zero was enough to change everything around him completely.
Noticing that, he decided to respond with cation while trying to ignore the constant feeling of danger.
"I.. I see. I am sorry for straight up declining your gift, but.. you see I really don't want to live after everything I have been through."
Hearing that Zero answered with indifference.
"I am aware of that. That's why I have made some preparations before hand."
"Preparations?"
He couldn't help but wonder.
"That's right. You will be send somewhere else entirely from your old world. To a place that you can find happiness."
He couldn't help but wonder.
'Happiness you say? I wonder how long has it been, since I last felt that.'
"How can you be so sure?"
He couldn't help but accept that idea. If what the other party said was true. If there was even a slight chance that he could live a happy life then he would at least give it a try.
Sure the world was always harsh on him. But the world seemed to not wish to go against that being. Perhaps, there was a chance for chance.
"Who said said I am sure?"
...
'Maybe not.."
Noticing his expression, Zero spoke again.
"Don't get this wrong. I am just saying that it's up to you to find happiness on that place. I will of course tell you some important information here of course but that's all."
He looked at him.
"I see. I will take your offer then even though I don't have a choice. I just have one question."
Zero smiled.
"That's acceptable. Will share it?"
He looked at him seriously.
"What's the catch?"
Zero looked at him dumbfounded. That was only for a short moment thought since then he started laughing.
"You truly are a funny individual. Cautious also."
After he stopped laughing he spoke once again.
"There is no catch. Just go and live your life as you wish or just end it. I don't care whatever you do after anyways. I just would appreciate if you give it a chance before you do anything rush. That's all."
He looked as him confused.
"That's all? What will you gain from that?"
"That's nothing you should worry about. Just think of it as a thing I did out of boredom or something like that if that pleases you. Anyways enough chit talking. Let get to business."
He nodded to him even though his confusion rose much more that ever before.
"So before anything, here is your new name. From now on you are Thita. Got it?"
"But I already have a name? I don't need a new..!"
Before he could finish though he was interrupted.
"Yeah yeah, so what? Will you refuse a gift of mine?"
He didn't knew how to answer. He already knew that refusing this being was impossible so he just have to accept it.
"Got it. Why Thita though?"
"Wise question. Your name is the spelling of the eighth letter from the Greek alphabet."
"I see."
'The hell I see, what does that has to do with anything.'
He couldn't help but be confused. Everything made little to no sense so far.
"You don't need to understand it. It's just something I do. All you need to bo is pay close attention from now on. If you don't. Let's just say your whole new life will make as much sense as the last couple minutes."
He looked at him with seriousness after hearing that.
'You sure know how to make someone pay attention...'
