It was a typical day in my life. I'm a college student who's studying Aeronautics, it was my dream to be a pilot. I dreamt of being able to fly to different country and to help my family go abroad. Living in the Philippines is a hassle. Not only it is hard to have a job who's paying an average salary, it's also hard to maintain my study to pay of my tuition. I had two jobs that I'm working just to help myself and my family to pay off my tuition, not to mention the bills that I'm paying for my dormitory. I have a hobby of creating things, I also dreamt of creating a unique thing for me to self it off or contribute to the society.
Yo Ren, wanna come join us later tonight for a drink?
You guys. You know I can't join you guys?
Come on, can't you just… You know? Take a day off or something?
Can you pay of my tuition?
Right, I'm sorry. See you tomorrow then Ren.
Yeah… See you tomorrow, Hikaru. Don't drink too much remember?
I heard you. Be careful on your way home Ren. I don't want you dying, you know the situation of our area right? There's ton of robbery going on so be careful!
He shout as he walk very far away, I turn around to walk myself back home. Being on guard to my surrounding. It was so dark, the light's are broken, and the wind is breezing. It's cold.
8:47 PM
Damn it, should have gone and bought myself a jacket. I didn't know it was going to be 25° outside tonight. Fuck, I'm shivering. Let me check my phone to see what's on the news.
"Breaking News!
Two people found dead near Pasay City South High School. It was deemed to be a robbery that happened. Witnesses say that the thief was wearing a purple t-shirt, black pants, & a medical mask. Authority is advising citizen to go home early when going out. Barangays are implementing another curfew to ensure people's safety."
Ugh fuck… Why does robbery are taking places again? This might be cause by the inflation where people just resort to crimes to just feed their families. I better get going before I get killed here.
I got home at 12:00 AM, I was so tired that I just lay in bed and fell asleep, I forgot to eat and shower.
As I slept, I dreamt something weird… It was like I'm in a different world. I had a child and a wife, and I can do magic?....
The alarm went off…
[8:00 AM]
Urghh…. I really should stop fantasising about another world… Maybe I should stop reading isekai manga for now. I should get up and order some food, I forgot to eat yesterday.
I got up in bed, and shower. The food delivery shortly arrive, I ate and dressed up for me to get ready.
『REMINDER: FLIGHT SIMULATOR PRACTICE AT SCHOOL AT 11:30 AM』
I got to my school at 11:00 AM, I saw my friend Hikaru in the distance.
Hikaru!... Hikaru!...
Ren! You're here. You ready for the flight simulator practice?
Not really, I'm nervous as hell to be honest. I don't know if I will fail this practice
You're a dumbass if you fail this practice HAHAHAHA! Don't worry Ren, It's just a practice. This isn't graded so don't worry about it, just relax yourself.
You're right, I got so worried that it might be graded. You know…
Yes?
Despite having a full 8 hours of sleep, I still feel fatigue or tired, like I'm still lacking of sleep.
That might be because of you're two jobs, that's why you feel fatigue.
You might be right. Ugh, If only we we're rich I wont be working this much.
Don't worry, If you graduate, It will all be paid out. Just trust the progress right now.
Thank you, Hikaru.
No need to thank me bro. So, what's you're plan later after this practice?
Still the same, gotta be working for other part time. What about you Hikaru?
I don't really know, I guess might play some games at the internet café's
You know, I'm kinda jealous of your lifestyle. You don't get to work to pay of your rent and tuition, plus you can relax so often and just worry about studying.
Come on now Ren. Don't compare yourself to me, everyone has their struggle. It's bad to look down on yourself and compare yourself to others. You know, you inspired me to be honest even when life is rough, you kept pushing yourself to the fullest. You find ways to work your life to be able to help yourself. Even though I never went thru that kind of hardship, I do understand your situation. I know it's very hard to work just to live, and that is why I'm here- no, we're here to help you. If anything you need, if it's a problem, we will do our best to help you in our powers. So don't look down on yourself man.
My eyes are watery. Am I crying? Why? Was it because of what he said? Or was it that I'm thankful to have a friends like them? Right, that's why I'm crying. I'm thankful to have them by my side as a friend, I will treasure this into my heart. I hope that I can pay my debt to them when I became a pilot.
Thank you guys for being with me. I promise to pay my debt to all of you.
There's no need for that Ren. We're happy to help you.
[11:30 PM]
I'm going home now boss, thank you, and see you tomorrow!
See you tomorrow Ren, have a safe trip!
It was a cold night, around 24°, as I was scrolling thru my phone. I heard a woman scream.
AHHHH!!!...
I run off to see what is happening. As I get into the corner of the building, I saw a woman getting robbed. It was a frightening to see it with my own eyes. I quietly call 911 to alert the police
『911 What is your emergency?』
Hi, hello? I'd like to report a crime, A woman is currently getting robbed at Chino Roces Ave. near at the junk shop.
『Can you Describe the suspects?』
Yes, They are wearing like a light blue t-shirt and one have like a brown short, and one got like a dark green shor-
I have been spotted…
『Hello? Are you there?』
I run off to the suspects to try and save the woman.
Hurry and get out of here! Try to spot some police to aid me in here. Argk...
Fuck just kill this bitch and hurry!
CANT YOU FUCKING SEE MY HANDS ARE OCCUPIED?! I CANT REACH FOR IT!
Ugh fuck…
The getaway driver pulled out a glock and then….
*Gunshot*
Faster dumbass, let's leave this place!
Boohoo bitch, wanna be hero HAHAHAHA!
The voice's are fading. I have been shot in the head. I can't believe that's how I died.
Mom, Dad, my little sister, Hikaru, everyone. I'm sorry I tried to be a hero, I should've just minded my business, heh. Fuck, I really can't believe I'm dying like this. If reincarnation is real, I wish for myself to be strong, rich, and good looking. I want myself to not be able to get inflicted by anything, or I hope I wont get any wounds. Wouldn't it be funny if I get insanely strong in another dimension. That's only thing I could wish for, goodbye.
