บท 9: Wish Contract

From a curled position, Rin tilted his head and looked at Nathan in the eye with a doubting look.

With his confident smile, Nathan flicked his fingers and a blazing fire flared out of nowhere and a piece of paper appeared. The process was like a paper burning into ashes but instead in reverse, a fire creating a paper with a flick of his fingers.

Rin squinted his eyes, unable to react. Only after a few seconds did he asked, "…How did you do that?"

Nathan casually handed the paper to Rin while saying, "Ask later."

"…" Rin just thought that it is some awesome trick or a gadget of some sort, he didn't actually have a clear thought about it but he definitely would ask later. The paper seems more important.

He sat up and took the paper in Nathan's hand which he gladly gave.

Rin read the words on the paper. It has a cursive font and comfortable to read:

| Wish Contract

This is a form of contract that will allow you to exchange wishes that will, by this contract's laws, come to reality.

The Contractor will be given the greatest thing that the Contractee have. While the Contractee can wish anything from the Contractor.

Requirement:

1) Must be signed by the Contractee to take an effect.

2) The Contractor must have a title of a God |

"…." Rin once again squinted his eyes that was full of doubt, not understanding whatever on the paper says, "What??"

"Oh and there is an absolute and unwritten rule there. Force is forbidden so feel free to think about it. You have the choice here." Nathan added while acting like he's quick witted.

Rin looked around and asked, "Is this serious??" He was almost sure that this some kind of a prank. If not for the "trick" he saw earlier, he would've thought that this is just Nathan messing with him. If that kind of effects were added, then this must be a tv show… this was Rin's thoughts.

"Hmm, I don't blame you for being that doubtful. I mean, a stranger just showed up beside you after you woke up and then gave you a contract like that. Ahaha good thing, I know some of the human's common sense or I will seriously be irritated by you not understanding this.", Nathan laughed.

Rin felt the creeps and got scared by this man who speak like he was not a human. His sunken eyes was trembling while he heavily breathed as he asked, "Se-seriously, who are you?!", although his voice was still a bit weak, it was said in a loudest voice he could muster.

"Didn't I introduced myself already? I said that I am Nathan but you could call me Lucy. I am comfortable with any of the two."

Rin's face tightened, "You know that's not what I mean! Y-you are definitely suspicious!"

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows and calmly replied, "You words truly scars me, you know." He sighed and stood up "Then I should make that doubt of yours disappear."

Rin stared at Nathan and suddenly felt heavy, "Ughh!!!", he felt something unexplainable. He saw Nathan just standing there without doing anything but he felt some mysterious power flooding out of this man, pressuring his own body.

The world was shaking in Rin's eyes. Rin have the urge to bow down in front of this man. He didn't felt any holiness or something majestic. He felt was fear. It was not the usual fear he experience almost everyday but it was pure terror. His natural instincts as human scared of death were jumping like crazy.

When Rin was about to puke, the pressure was abruptly stopped.

"Whoa, whoa, easy there. I don't want to see any of that filth.", Nathan with an uncomfortable look caressed Rin trembling back.

When Nathan touched Rin's back. Rin felt immediate relief all over his body. Until now, everything was unexplainable about this man.

Rin looked at Nathan with eyes of wonder. His perspective of the reality of the world which he had built since he was born was slowly deteriorating.

"Do you believe me now? Hihi", Nathan was rather pleasant by Rin's reaction.

"…" Rin can't speak and just stared blankly.

"Hmm?? Too much of a shock to you?", Nathan gently patted Rin's back "Slowly take this new information…"

After a while, Rin slowly tilted his head and looked into the paper. His trembling hand made him unable to read the words on the paper again.

Nathan sighed and became impatient, "Hayyss, it will make me grant one of your wish in exchange of the thing you have that you held of most importance!"

"Importance…?? What kind??", Rin asked with his airy weak voice.

"Anything, be it a physical object, talent, skill, a friend, a lover, a family- anything!", Nathan impatiently said.

Rin looked down and murmured, "But I don't have one... The one that I held dear the most is gone…-"

"Exactly!! You don't have one. Well, you do have one like the house your mother left you but it is not worth mentioning at all if its replacement is strength to change! To fulfill your mother's wish!", Nathan said in one breath.

It was quiet. The sun had already started to rise in the sky. The dusk was disappearing. Rin stared at the paper with a determined look. His tears glittered under the reflection of the sunlight.

"It says that this is absolute, right? You can grant any wish that I speak." Rin's tone of voice was resolute.

Nathan nodded, it seemed like his lousy persuasion took an effect if the person was already in the brink of breaking down.

"Then, my wish is…", Rin gulped down "that after I die, I wish that I will revive as a greater person that I am. One that is not like me, someone who is strong!"

"Huh??", Nathan's eyes showed a hint of shock, "Why do you wish that? Can't you just wish to have strength right now?"

'And if you revive, though, you are the same person. You're memories will be gone. Memories that contain experiences that made you.'

"I don't think I can change…" Rin's tone was melancholic.

'Don't fully trust the word "absolute", huh...' Nathan shrugged his shoulders and continued with the contract. Rin may change his mind if he react too late.

"No confidence at all? It's okay for me if that's what you want." Nathan touched Rin's finger tip of his right thumb.

A slit was made acrose his thumb, blood slowly came out of it but it did not hurt at all.

"Just press your thumb anywhere on the paper to get the contract active.", Nathan smiled.


บท 10: The Decision to just [Close] both Eyes

Rin hasn't fully decided. If this is real or not, he still had his doubts. Seeing the drop of blood on his thumb, he felt surreal.

If this is all true then it would be too great. There is nothing important that he isn't willing to give up in exchange for his wish: to be reincarnated as a strong man. If it isn't real then he don't know, he doesn't know what he will do. All that left is to end it.

Nothing bad will ever happen. The worse case scenario is that this is a dream so why am I hesitating?

Rin closed his eyes and softly pressed his thumb on the paper. Right after that, he heard a whooshing sound. He opened his eyes to see what it is. He knew that the windows are closed but that sound felt like it was close by.

He didn't expect what he saw, he saw nothing. Even the paper he was just holding earlier was gone and the mysterious person who gave to him was nowhere to be found too.

Feeling dejected, Rin stood up from being rested on the bed and exited the room depressed. He is still in his shool uniform so nobody stopped him from getting out of the hospital.

The only hope he had was only just a dream. It would just be too good to be true. Even if he wouldn't be reincarnated, either heaven or hell would be fine for him as long as he can get out of this world where it only brought him suffering.

After a long walk, he finally reached home. The sky was blue when he opened the door. The inside of the house was no longer dark but for him, it was darker than before or rather, it was colorless.

His sight was waving left and right. Right after he went in, he walked through the living room, through the kitchen and then there's a sliding door, an exit to their backyard.

Their backyard was not big but is still spacious. On the left side is a garden full of flowers with different colors and plants of different kinds of fruits and vegetables. On the right side, there was a small storage shed.

Rin went into the small storage shed where few tools, lot for gardening, were storaged. He took a piece of rope. The rope is sturdy enough to not break even if a lot of force were to pull it. He clenched the rope before softly saying:

"…I'm sorry…"

He turned around and got inside the house and went into the living room. In there, a ceiling fan was hanging. He grabbed a chair and stood on it to elevate him to tie the rope on the ceiling fan tigthly.

On the other end of the rope, he tied it to itself, leaving a hole. He held the rope by both ends but before he did anything, he looked at the rising sun through the sliding door. It was only in the early morning but for Rin, the sun was bright like it was in the middle of the day. Yet, its sunlight can't reach inside the room. Everything was still dark

He breathed deeply, inhaling and exhaling. He feel neither fear nor sadness. In fact, he can't feel anything right at the moment.

"Nobody will notice if a nobody will be gone.", Rin said melancholically while he closed his eyes. He tried to recollect every memories he had since he was born. Reliving his life before death but it was bitter. It only gave him another push to do it.

Rin placed the rope around his neck then without hesitation, he kicked the chair and made it fall, leaving him no platform to stand on. He too fell but was caught by the rope. The rope around his neck tigthened, it made him unable to breath a single air.

Rin weakly struggled and clutched the rope around his neck to ease the pain a little but to no avail. He unintentionally scratched his neck until it bleed. He wanted to scream but no voice came out from his choked throat.

"..Ack!!.. argh!!.."

He felt his strength leaving him as time passes. He didn't know the pain he went through but it was finally getting over.

What is it over the afterlife? Is there heaven and hell? Or do we just go not "exist" any longer? Or is reincarnation real? Will I be a new man in the next life?

His mind flashed a face of a handsome young man, smiling at him while eating an orange.

Rin's sunken eyes closed. My life was ending and the last thing my mind showed me was the mysterious young man from my dream.

His hands gave up and released its grip on the rope. His body slowly and barely swung from all the struggle he made.

It was quiet… until a sudden scream was heard.

"Argh!!..", Rin's hands moved and gripped the rope around his neck again. The one who was suppose to be dead opened his eyes amd continued to struggle...
