Kapitel 4: CURSE

When Xing Peng saw that the meteorite was coming towards him, he knew he was finished.

For him, who knew his death was only a moment away, everything around him seemed to be in slow motion. During which he slowly recalled all the good memories of his life and then realized, he didn't have any good memories at all.

His life was filled with bullying and he was filled with regrets. He was only a 17-year-old dammit!

and still, a virgin who didn't get to experience the world.

His major regret was that once he died, his mother will be the only one who would shed tears for him in the family, his brother and father would just pretend that he had never existed in the first place.

But what he was more afraid of was that after his death, his mother might have a breakdown as well. She had placed all her hopes on him and with his death, she would suffer both mentally and physically. He didn't want to see her suffer more than what she was already suffering.

He could only hope for a miracle and prayed that his mother would not be burdened anymore.

Although it would be hard for her, there was nothing he could do, that's why he felt more regretful.

As he recalled all his memories before his death, he realized that they were truly not very pleasant and were full of difficulties.

" what have I, Xing Peng ever lived for? now that I'm about to die, all I can think about is the sufferings in my life. Truly laughable." thought Xing Peng.

He also recalled some memories he had with Li Chong. He was a good friend indeed.

"I wonder if there will be any Chinese novels in the afterworld if it exists?" thought Xing Peng.

As he was thinking about Chinese novels, he remembered his favorite reincarnation type novels. Xing Peng started thinking:

"I wonder if I will be reincarnated? but those stories in the novels are fake, what am I even thinking? ahahaha"

"my other regret is not being able to embrace Xie Mei, although I never had a chance in the first place, now that I will be dead, I won't have a chance at all"

"sigh, I'm sorry my little brother, for failing you"

"why is my life so hard and filled with difficulties?, I have never sinned, I have always been on the receiving end, why is it so heavens? do heavens have no eyes? Why must a damn meteorite hit me out of nowhere?!!" as he thought about this, Xing Peng felt really very unfortunate ! his fate had f*cked him over.

"I, XING PENG CURSE THE HEAVENS AND DESPISE YOU! IF I EVER MANAGE TO SURVIVE THIS, I WILL MAKE SURE TO TRAMPLE ALL OVER YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY!"

Xing Peng's thoughts ended there as the moment was over and the meteorite had already descended upon him.

Li Chong ran to the crash site and looked at all the debris and huge drafts of smoke around the area, he was crying hot tears as he shouted: " brother Peng, rest in peace"

Xing Peng felt no pain, his death was swift.

or so he thought.

Because the next time when he opened his eyes and looked around, there was nothing but empty void.

As he looked at himself, he found himself to be in an intangible humanoid form of light of sorts.

"is this my soul?" thought Xing Peng.

In many of the Chinese novels he had read, had a similar depiction of the soul and he found that they might be strangely accurate.

"looks like I really died, sigh. but where am I? "

as Xing Peng looked around, he found nothing other than nothing. It was an empty void which seemingly stretched aimlessly.

So he walked, kept on walking in a particular direction.

It had been a few years already since Xing Peng had started walking along a direction in the void, or rather floated towards that particular direction.

Being a soul, Xing Peng found that he was weightless and easily floated in the void.

Although it was fun initially to Xing Peng but a torture later on, as he kept on floating aimlessly towards nowhere.

"what is the point of this?! its probably been hundreds of years already" thought Xing Peng.

Xing Peng at a point had concluded that this might be hell, which was torturing him by making him go nowhere for all eternity.

Just the thought creeped him out. Who would want to travel nowhere for all eternity?

Xing Peng certainly didn't want to.

Currently, as he was floating aimlessly, he suddenly saw a small ray of light ahead of him.

Feeling excited, he immediately proceeded towards that small ray of light.

It took him another one year before he actually reached there.

Xing Peng was disappointed, he thought that that ray of light was close by but it, in fact, took him so long to reach there.

Where was the Justice in this world?

Wait, did world ever have any Justice in the first place? If it did, he wouldn't have died for the wrong reasons when a meteorite just came out of nowhere and crashed precisely onto him, as if it had a grudge.

As Xing Peng reached the place where the ray of light was continuously coming from, he noticed there was a plain golden double door and the ray of light was coming from a small keyhole right in the middle of that door.

Xing Peng's curiosity peaked as he went towards the door and peeked through the hole. All that he saw was bright rainbow-ish lights and in the next instant, he was pulled in by those lights.
