Location: Home

{Ben}: *reading a manga*

{???}: Hey Ben!

{Ben}: Oh hi Mai, I didn't here you coming in.

{Mai}: It's because you always put your nose on those piles and piles of books, you should go out and make more friends, live life you know.

{Ben}: I don't need anyone but you.

{Mai}: *blushes* Sweet but that's not the point. Have you even tried to make a friend?

{Ben}: ... I mean I met someone named Von today at school But-

{Mai}: That's perfect! That's a sapling of a new strong friendship, who knows. You might be best friend's in the future.

{Ben}: *face's towards his manga* Don't get your hopes high. Where's your sister?

{Mai}: *sigh* Bella is doing her secretive personal stuff. She claims she has a job to do.

{Ben}: *confused* Job aren't we all in 7th grade?

{Mai}: I mean she's in 8th but I don't think... Never mind, what you reading this time?

{Ben}: Well Von gave me this manga to read for entertainment purposes and-

{Mai}: What is it about?

{Ben}: I don't know, something about second life in another world full of magic and that other crap.

{Mai}: ... Reincarnation, ha! I almost forgot about that.

{Ben}: Yeah that's the word. How'd you- Mai? Is there something wrong?

{Mai}: So much has changed, hasn't it. You even changed to your old self... Well almost.

{Ben}: What are you taking about? *Hold'sMai'shands* Is there something wrong? What's-

{Mai}: Am sorry for what happened and what my sister did to you but you don't have to treat the others this way- am sorry for... You don't have to blame me for what happened Seer.

{Ben}: ! Wait what are you tal- *intensepain* Ahhhh!

{Mai}: Just this once, let me help you one last time *vanishes*

{Seer}: Mai wait! ... *Looksaround* Where am I? This place looks familiar.

{Voice}: This is where it all started in your life and existence.

{Seer}: *turnsaround* Who's there! ~Hold up, this is the same place where I met the orange freak. But why am I back here?~

{Voice}: You seriously don't know? I can't blame you. You where always unique and different from other.

{Seer}: Okay. Again who's there! Why are you messing with me?

{Spirit}: *appears In front of Seer* My apologies, By who should I acknowledge you as? Seer or Ben?

{Seer}: A- ... Seer.

{Spirit}: Understandable. Now just to be straight forward... You died, again.

{Seer}: Ohh... I see. But I don't really feel dead like last time.

{Spirit}: Well it's because am here.

{Seer}: What do you mean, because your here?

{Spirit}: Since our last world didn't have any needs of me saving you but this world does due to its form of magic, in other words. You've been cursed.

{Seer}: Wait, wait, wait! What do you mean cursed! Like am I destined to die or-

{Spirit}: No, no my lovable goose, to clear misinformation am the curse placed on you and my main objective is to protect you at all costs. And am trying to do so.

{Seer}: ... Well this sucks. The only person who I know might bring me back is that so called protector but he's not here so let's call it quits.

{Spirit}: *smiles* 20:28 13 February 2028 Solver street at the coordinates -763 -63 372. Dose that ring a bell?

{Seer}: ... Why would you remind me of that-

{Spirit}: The day you lost something and gained something greater as you can reference it to the 3rd manga you read. Although you have lost your friend and lover but you also changed for the better, while holding on that grief.

{Seer}: So what now? Your going to tell me to let go of the grief and move on! Well sorry ma'am am not-

{Spirit}: Keep it as long as you want. The more grief you hold the stronger I become. The stronger I become the more capable I can become to save and protect you. But even if you let go of that grief am still going to protect you as it is in my very own core and my prime objective.

{Seer}: *shocked and confused* Okay who and what are you exactly!?

{Spirit}: When your ready, I will tell you. But I myself have a question. Why?

{Seer}: That doesn't help at all but shoot your shot.

{Spirit}: *transform's into Serine* Why push or distance us away- *transform's into Sunny* While the other few you don't even try?

{Seer}: Aren't you suppose to know since your are me in some form of way?

{Spirit}: I do, but I want to hear your explanations.

{Seer}: ... As the humans say, third time's a charm, can let myself get close to anyone who I know can eliminate me either by their choice or controlled. The exception are those with higher status and power or I can easily handle them with no problem. The queen for example, she can kill me without trying while Sunny, she's with the queen so am not trying to die by her hands. So I don't have a chance. So does that satisfy you?

{Spirit}: Mmmmmm nope! But it's close to what I want to hear.

{Seer}: ... So what now?

{Spirit}: I thought it was obvious. Wake up!

{Seer}: Wa- what do you mean wake up! You said am dead! How can I simply wake up unless I become a ghost type.

{Spirit}: Come on now, it can end this way. I know you can, just wake up.

{Seer}: For a curse you sure are weird.

{Spirit}: *smiles* Am going to miss you Ben but just do me this one favour and

WAKE UP!

{Seer}: *wakesup* What!? What's going on?

{Serine}: *crying* Oh thank the God's. *hug'sSeer* We thought we lost you for good. When Ryder found you he found sunny keeping you alive with her magic trying to bring you back and he also tried to save you.

{Seer}: Okay enough with the hugs. You okay Sunny?

{Sunny}: *drained* Barely am just- going to rest for some days, hope you don't mi- *fall'sasleep*

{Seer}: Where's Ryder?

{Serine}: He went to help the others from the central village and-

{Seer}: Say less. *Standsup*

{Serine}: Oh no you don't! *Holds down Seer* You almost died and am not going to let that happen again your not going anywhe-

{Seer}: *menacingly side eye look* Hands of if you know what's good for you.

{Serine}: ... *Let's go of Seer* B- be careful out there and... Don't die... Again.

{Seer}: ... Ha! 3rd time's a charm girl! I ain't going down without completing my new life mission! *Teleportsaway*

{Serine}: ... Why are you like this?

Time: High noon

Location: Forest exit

{Boss}: Crap, crap, crap, CRAP! How did this even happen! I made sure everything was perfect and- this couldn't- *turnsaround* I need to-

{Shin}: *Teleportsin*

{Boss}: ! Master! Your here! Please help me to take care of these bugs and teach them where they belo-

{Shin}: Shut up. For once, I thought I could have some fun but you ruined everything. You should've handle that brown hair kid immediately, but nooo, so I had to do it.

{Boss}: Brown... Hair... He's responsible for this mess! Oh am going to make sure am going to- *decapitated*

{Shin}: I hate it when I have to repeat myself, most importantly I hate it when someone ruins my mood. So now am just going to- *gets hit by lightning bolt*

{Seer}: Where do you think your going!

{Shin}: *shocked* ... Your... Your alive!? But how!

{Seer}: That's a tale for another da-

{Shin}: Hahahahahahahahahaaaa! This got my peak interest! Ohhh am itching for more! Seer was it? By the looks of it your from the human race, no mixed blood or anything yet you came back to life, thought I do sense diff healing magic from you but that's not enough to bring you back. Oh the theories are endless! Oh I just want to-

{Seer}: Shut it, I ain't here for your bull crap interest. Am going to end you right here right now.

{Shin}: Oh that would be fun... If you where around my level. Maybe next time, don't worry. Am not interested in this forest so the natives can have it back. Hope to meet you again some day, your my favourite so far- besides my girl of course.

{Seer}: *weirded out* What the freak!? If you think am going to let you get out your mistaken- *mysteriously gets stabbed all over the body* ... Dang, again. *Fallsdown*

{Shin}: Don't worry, you'll be alive. I need you for my personal entertainment. Bye for now! *Vanishes into the shadows*

2 weeks later

{Seer}: *wakesup* Mmmmmm damn how long was I o-

{Sunny}: Seer! *Hug'sSeer*

{Seer}: Kill me already.

{Ryder}: *walks in the tent* I see your awake. How are you feeling?

{Seer}: Like I've and hit by a truck. Don't worry, it's an inside joke. Don't wrap your head around it.

{Ryder}: Oh... Well I'll inform the queen about your recovery while I do that *try's to hide a smile* try to resolve your "situation" together. Bye for now *leave's *

{Seer}: Situation? What is he-... Sunny, what is he talking about?

{Sunny}: Mmmm promise me you won't get mad.

{Seer}: Sunny, I swear am- ... I promise I won't get mad at you.

{Sunny}: See when I saw you injured I tried to use anything I had to save you from berries to nearby positions and magic but that wasn't enough, sooo I kinda *gibberish*

{Seer}: Excuse me Wha- ha!?

{Sunny}: I kinda... Accidentally made a magic bond so that means that am y-

{Some girl}: ? Is something wrong?

{Au}: ... Not sure feels like... What was I about to say? Ehh if you forget it's not important. So, Eleanor, you free tonight?

{Eleanor}: *giggles* Don't you have a job to do.

{Au}: The multiverse is fine for the next 72 hours, if lucky for the next 5 days. Besides I want to see the others in the Nowhere world.

{Eleanor}: *laughs* Fine, I'll check my schedule and let you know, okay.

{Au}: Score!
