Darkness.. When Austin opened his eyes again, he realized that he was floating in space, his heartbeat accelerated and fear gripped his body, he didn't know why he was like this, wasn't he dead?, after looking around a little more, he opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder where this is?", he tried to calm himself down and started to think, he wasn't really disappointed because he never had any beliefs, the only thing he believed in was himself, Austin looked around for a while longer and thought, "I guess this is what happens after death." He finally managed to calm himself down completely, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he thought about what to do next but no idea came to his mind, but instead of getting angry at this situation, he laughed, he didn't know why but the situation seemed very funny to him.. "I finally lost my mind!" he shouted and continued to laugh.
He had worked very hard for his goal since he was little, he hadn't had time to think about things like this. When you think about it, how old was Austin when he first had this dream? As he thought about this thought, a memory came to his mind, it was a little blurry Austin was surprised because he knew his own memory was good but he didn't think much about it and closed his eyes and sighed, when he opened his eyes again Austin who was at a Royal wedding was looking around insatiably, he turned his head to the right, when he turned he saw his mother who had a noble stance and expression, Austin who was not very happy to see his mother grimaced and turned to the right and looked at his father's towering body, his father was a person with an upright stance and a harsh expression but this expression did not spoil his noble handsomeness in any way.
Austin who turned back to the front thought 'oh so this is what a place it was' and sighed, after standing there for a while the door of the hall which was huge compared to his body opened. All eyes were fixed on the door, most of the hall was already lined up in front of the door, but there were still a few people trying to get in line. Austin didn't pay attention to them and turned his attention to the person coming from the door, a voice was heard right after the door opened, "His Majesty King Alex the 7th is coming to the hall!" The person who entered was none other than the King who had lost none of his noble appearance despite his age. The moment the King stepped into the hall, the whole room fell silent, everyone was staring at the King. "How magnificent," Austin thought, the King who continued to walk along the red carpet on the floor was admiring everyone with the way he carried himself and the sense of confidence he gave off, he greeted a few people and continued walking, the King who was soon in front of the Smith family put on a fake sincere expression on his face.
Seeing the expression on his face, Austin himself had the same expression. The King first greeted Austin's father, Barathon Smith, and fixed his gaze on little Austin. Austin was normally very relaxed in such situations, but this time he couldn't keep his poker face. At that moment, he had only one thing on his mind, and that was the king's glory. Austin was in awe of the king. A king who could silence an entire room with just his appearance. A powerhouse who made everyone nervous with just his name. Austin was jealous, but he hid this jealousy and studied the king closely. No matter how much he looked, he couldn't see any flaws in the king's appearance. This fueled his jealousy towards him even more. Soon, the king opened his mouth and spoke. "Hello Austin, do you remember me?" Austin regained his composure and replied. "Hello, your majesty. It is a great honor to speak with you. How could I forget you?" Barathon Smith was the chancellor of the Kingdom, so he met with the King often, so the Smith household and the Royal family could be said to be somewhat close. King Alex, surprised by his answer, maintained the fake sincerity on his face and concentrated his gaze but did not continue, immediately gave a sign with his head and headed to greet Austin's mother Agnes Smith, Austin, unable to control the feeling of jealousy inside him, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Dark Void, Austin, who understood what had happened, was surprised but soon understood what had happened.. he had seen his past, he did not know how he had achieved this and had already gotten out of his effect, still these few minutes had given him an answer, why and when had he determined Austin's target? Remembering this again, Austin thought a little more and the person who had turned all his plans upside down came to his mind. Austin felt a storm of anger rising inside him, unlike normal, he could express his feelings as he wanted here, but he did not do that and suppressed his anger and closed his eyes again and took a short sigh.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on a bench. The weather was a bit cold. His hair was flying because of the wind. Austin, who had already realized where he was from the building across from him, sighed and opened his mouth. "Oh, damn it." Austin, who looked away from the building across from him, looked to his left with a deliberate turn. There was a young man sitting alone on another bench a little further away. Seeing him, the young Austin averted his gaze and took out his watch from his pocket. Before opening the cover of the watch, he saw his own reflection. Austin, who continued to look at his reflection, confirmed his belief about the time even more.
He had returned to that 17-year-old memory. He took his eyes off his reflection and opened the watch with a single button. The time was 17:38. That day was New Year's Day, so the weather was cold. Austin, who soon closed his watch and put it back in his pocket, turned to his left again. This time, the boy sitting on the bench was also looking at him. Austin easily averted his eyes, but it was no use. He once again fixed his gaze on the large building in front of him. There was a sign written right in front of the building. "Smith Barony Private Property" It didn't take long for him to remember why he was here. He was waiting for his father for a few more minutes. After sitting down, Austin noticed movement on his left side and immediately looked to that side, seeing a young man with black hair and green eyes in front of him.
After a few seconds of nervous staring, the young boy opened his mouth and spoke "Hello, how are you?" Austin knew very well who he was so he didn't want to answer him but he had already opened his mouth "Great, I should ask about you?" Hearing this answer the young boy put on a slightly surprised expression and continued talking "I'm fine too thank you for asking, are you waiting for someone?" Austin answered "Yes, I'm waiting for my dad he should be here in a minute." It seemed like this was his first time there so he didn't know who Austin was before the boy asked another question "I don't know your name how should I address you?" Austin answered with a wry smile on his face "Austin, Austin Smith" Hearing his name the young boy straightened his posture immediately and gave him a real greeting "I'm sorry sir I didn't know who you were" Austin let out a short breath and opened his mouth "It's not important, so what's your name and what are you doing here?" The young boy scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and he replied ''I am Mosby Athen and I am waiting for my father sir'' Mosby's father was a gardener who worked for the Smith family Austin grinned bitterly and whispered ''I know'' then he closed his eyes once more.
When he opened his eyes again Austin found himself floating in the void and was red with anger, he had been a spiteful person since he was little, there was nothing he could do, especially he would never forgive the man who killed him, he wanted to tear him apart, Austin who shook his fist into the void, wanted to torture him, he wanted to ask him why?, why did he do this to him, why did he betray him, he continued to punch the void with anger for a while until an authoritarian and terrifying voice echoed in the void.
''Hello Austin''
