"I…I died? Finally I can rest?"
"With a regret-filled heart, I must tell you, your life has indeed come to an end."
With a happy smile Leon sat on the invisible floor suspended above the clouds, the round earth looked small from here, but Leon had better things to stare at. In front of him stood a man in plain white clothes and a face full of beard.
"You don't seem sad, Sigh! With how your life has been, I suppose there's barely any cause for you to live."
With a gentle smile, he sat beside Leon, his aura was very comforting, and Leon felt like he was finally home. He was finally going to be free from all the suffering.
"Not yet, my child, you cannot rest just yet."
"What do you mean?"
Leon looked at his savior with a curious gaze, the man in white pointed upward. Leon followed his gesture and saw a gaping black hole, it looked like someone tore up the space.
"W…What happened?"
"Your system—that was a different dimension being. Your luck invited it over."
"I…but I don't think I have that much luck."
"You don't, but you had the Eternal Unlucky Curse, even that being has died when it entered your body, giving you a system and relieving your curse in the process."
"Am I that unlucky?"
With a hopeless look, Leon uttered, making the white-clothed divine being chuckle.
"Not anymore. You are free from that curse, or, in your language, you are normal now, but I will merge a stone with your body to permanently kill that thing inside."
"I simply don't know what will happen to your system, but you'll be safe."
A glowing white stone appeared in his hand, then he gently pressed it into Leon's chest, with a single motion, it disappeared into Leon like it was never there in the first place.
"I can live without a system. If I am normal, that can be the best outcome."
"You are very easy to please, this stone I merged with you, and you don't look shocked."
"I trust you, if you wanted to harm me, there's nothing I can do."
"True, still I should explain a little. It was from that dimension that being came from, so it might give you a surprise. Even I don't have much of an idea about that stone."
The sage-like voice was soothing to Leon, what shocked him most was the last information. Even a godlike being doesn't know something?
"Well, I can't even read your thoughts now, that's a surprise."
White-clothed Sage was very intrigued, he looked at Leon like a scientist who has discovered both the 119th & 120th elements in the periodic table, but soon he shook his head with a smile.
"It's time for you to go."
"So, which fantasy world are you sending me?"
"What fantasy world? You are going back to the world you came from."
"Eh?!!"
Leon, after coming here for the first time, was shocked, his jaw dropped, and with a confused face, he looked at the white-clothed sage. Isn't it natural for him to be isekaid? Isn't his fantasy world harem waiting for him? Doesn't the god give the lame excuse that Time and Space won't be able to handle him and he won't be a fit in his own world?
"With how your eyes are, you assumed I was going to send you to a different world?"
"Isn't that normal? With how you gave me a fantasy stone?"
"Ahahaha, yes, that's how the WebNovels usually go, but this is reality. I will wipe your memory of us meeting and send you three days prior to your death."
"Don't worry, you will have the memory of these three days, and with luck on your side, you might survive or even lead a very good life."
"Sigh! I guess, if I am going back anyway, let me ask why I was so unlucky."
"That I cannot tell you, you've to look at the mirror for that."
Sage stood up, his demeanor changed visibly because Leon was seeing his white robe fluttering. It was like a huge amount of energy was gathering around him. Leon also stood up in a hurry.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Do I have to kill the Demon Lord that is about to appear, and you can't descend because you are a god?"
"What?!! Ahahaha, no, nothing like that, just take Nun Meelah as your bride or partner."
"Sister Meelah? But she's a NUN."
"I know, that is why I am asking it as a favor."
"I…I will try my best."
With a confused face, Leon disappeared from where he stood, a huge vortex swallowed him whole, and the space he was just standing on returned to its former calmness.
"Sigh! Poor lad, I hope she won't kill him. Now I have to fix that space, otherwise, Earth scientists will panic."
Shaking his head, Sage sighed with relief, then looking at the space crack, he smiled, he looked like he was more distressed about Meelah than a space crack.
....
" No "
"What?"
"I said no, I am not going to do a special photo shoot in Thailand."
Standing in the Munich Airport, Leon looked the scammer in the eyes and refused outright, the person in front of him looked at him with a shocked face. Never in his life had he expected this simpleton to refuse.
"B...But why?"
"I will call the cops if you don't give me two thousand € right now."
Leon, who came back from the future, didn't miss this opportunity at all, he knew this man was a scammer, and he knew if he blackmailed him, this man would be forced to cough up money.
"I…What?"
"Trying to play it cool? I am with the BND, I will arrest you right now." (BND is the German equivalent of the CIA.)
"S… Sir, Sir, please let me go. Here, this purse has €1890, you can take this."
Throwing his side bag, the scammer ran with horror-filled eyes, while Leon first checked if this bag really had euros or not, if not, he was athletic enough to catch that fat scammer.
"Sigh! Thank god I don't have to chase him, he can have people outside waiting, khek."
With a smirky chuckle, Leon pocketed the cash, then pulled out his cracked Xiaomi phone to look at the date, seeing the date, he smiled. He died and regressed, a second chance in life, but the cost was heavy too, his Euro Blinking System was gone.
"Doesn't matter, if you live, there's a meaning with money, but if you die with a system, what's the point?"
If being super unlucky has taught him something, it's being positive and endurance, so system or not, he will survive and live.
[Ding!!]
He was about to call a taxi, then he heard a familiar gong ringing in his head, which increased his heartbeat, his face flushed while a little bit of blood rushed to his eyes, making them bloodshot.
[Ding!! The Ultimate Blinking System has been awakened.]
[One Blink = 1 €]
[Level 1: Please use €50,000 to level up the system for more benefits.]
[Current Balance: 1895€]
[You can withdraw cash or go to the bank to get an instant tax statement.]
[The system will never jeopardise the host's legal safety.]
A holographic panel materialized in front of him, but he felt like there was something different about this panel, the numbers didn't match the previous one.
It's Ultimate? Wow, what the actual fuck? I blink and get money? It's that easy?
The system interface was more colorful and bright, as usual, no one could see it in the whole airport, while he had to see it because it was that beautiful.
*Ring-Ring*
His trance state broke when his broken phone rang, looking at the screen, he smiled because 'Sister Meelah' was calling him. Last time he refused to listen to her and went to Thailand anyway, this time around, things are different.
