"Tsk!"
"Acting all high and mighty. I'll make you regret that." violet frowned.
He turned around and noticed eyes were all fixed on him. Violet was baffled in so many ways.
These kids, it's strange enough that they stare so much, but this is getting out of hand. Haven't they seen this body all their life? what's with them.....
He stared at them for a while.
Well let's brush that all off and eat. The food is getting cold.
Violet rushed his meal and excused himself from the dinning room.
Stepping out, he stumbled upon another kid.
The two of them stared at each other.
After what felt like an eternity, Violet thought.
Do all brats in this world have missing teeths?
He stared puzzled at the kid that for what reason he didn't know, wore the weird helmets of the sisters.
"Hey!" he called out.
"Huh?" the kid turned to him.
Violet startled.
A frog with rabbit toot–
The kid cut into his thoughts.
"Ah!! Its stupid!!" the kid yelled.
Violet stood in absolute surprise and confusion . He's eyes widening in shock.
"Huh?"
"Yeah STUPID!" The kid yelled again pointing his finger at him.
Is this kid nuts? violet thought.
WAIT!! Snapping back to his senses, he questioned in his thoughts
who's he calling stupid?
The kid stood there for over thirty minutes calling violet stupid. Violet didn't let the provocation of little kids get to him both now and in his previous life, so he just walked away until the annoying brats voice faded away.
"That kid might probably have health issues. I feel bad for him"
violet muttered to himself walking down the sunlit hallway with rows of towering windows pasted on the wall by his right.
"Huh?.."
" Ah!! viol– I mean stupid!!"
Another brat that spawned out of nowhere called out to him. He had a messy brown hair, blue eyes and an innocent face. He looked different and more put together in attitude and dressing than the frog like rabbit from before.
Violet stared at him for five seconds before frowning.
All these arrogant brats with no manners. Tsk tsk.
Ignoring the thought he responded.
"Yeah. what is it?"
"Oh..it's umm" The boy hesitated before speaking.
"I just wanted to know how your injuries were. Since you got pummelled so badly by Jerry yesterday"
Wait...Jerry? Pummelled? where have I– . Violet thought before the memory of the first arrogant brat he met at the dorm appeared in his memory.
Ah.. that kid did say the same thing. Who's this brat Jerry and what did the owner of this body do exactly, to get himself pummelled.
He stayed silent for a while, then stared at the boy in front of him.
I think I should ask him about everything that has happened up until my reincarnation.
"Umm.. mind coming with me for a sec."
"Sure.." the kid said tagging along side Violet.
The two of the them stood two feets apart on the buildings grassy ground facing each other. The wind gently blew over both of them sending both their clothes dancing to its rhythm– as if setting a stage for an international debate.
After what felt like an eternity, the cringy eye contest with no spectators came to an end upon violets question.
"What's your name?"
"liko" the kid replied.
As expected, it's a cringy ass name. The parents in this world gotta work on their naming ceremony manuscripts.
Ah..it's those bitches' doing ,the sisters in this orphanage.
Violet continued.
"Liko. I see..."
He cleared his throat.
"I have something to tell you"
"I'VE LOST MY MEMORIES" violet said, so sincerely and whole heartedly like his half assed president back in Sweden would always say while making fraudulent speeches on the news.
Please fall for it. That's the only believable lie I can muster.
violet thought panicking in his mind for a while.
"I understand... After all, Jerry's pummelling must have hurt " Liko bowed.
Small tears of appreciation clung to violets eyes.
Glad he fell for it. But why this pummelling stuff again?
"Can you tell me all that has been happening? Like everything I need to know. I don't understand why you guys all glare at me " violet asked.
"Um.. firstly you are PATHETIC. YOU HAVE ZERO TALENT FOR NEBULA ARTS AND YOUR A PATHETIC BURDEN TO THE ORPHANAGE. That's why every one including the sisters despise you." Liko said, so confidently.
Violet stood silent for a while. Eyes disappearing under his furrowed brows .
I see...so the owner of this body VIOLET is a born sore looser huh. I would have gotten agitated from hearing this, but since I got to hear it all the time even in my previous life, I suppose it's stuck to me like a curse.
He laughed at himself — a shallow sound meant to drown memories better left untouched.
He stared up into the clear blue sky and continued.
A curse that followed me all the way to reincarnation.
Grimacing, violet turned around and walked away. Liko on the other hand asked.
"Are you... not going to ask about Jerry?"
"Buzz off " violet said, waving his hand dismissively.
It'll only be belittling of my self to start picking a fight with a random child, when all this has got nothing to do with me.
Immediately, a thought came to his mind. He turned around and asked the boy.
"By the way, why's everyone calling me stupid?"
Liko flinched and replied.
"It's because of jerry. You guys had a duel and you placed a bet to liven things up."
"A bet? I did?" violet questioned.
"Yeah. You did."
Liko continued.
"You said that if you lost, that the whole orphanage will start calling you STUPID. And that you'll stop attending NOVA TRAIT classes."
"Honestly you were so bitten badly that it's a surprise you're still alive. You should be dead by now."
he concluded and immediately ran off without violet sending him away. Definitely because he didn't want to get in trouble with violet.
Violet stood there motionless.
This basterd VIOLET. So it's his fault after all.
"Well, I suppose I should be thankful to him that I don't get to go to school " violet yawned and stretched his tiny body.
Know that I think about it. How old is this guy? He stared at the body for a while.
At that moment the last statement of Liko recounted in his mind. "You should be dead by now "
"it looks like the original owner of this body is already dead, since I didn't get to meet anyone before waking up into this body."
Violet breath a sigh and put his palms together and said a short prayer
"R.I.P"
He yawned.
"All in all, this Jerry brat must be a sick in the head bully. I'm thrilled the sisters let such a thing slide."
"Tsk, it seems like I won't be able to do anything about that bitch-like sister." he grimaced. Frustrated at the unpleasant realisation of the body being talentless.
"All of this aside? Why haven't I seen any girls?"
He turned around to ask liko, but the brat was already gone. With nothing left to do there, violet took his leave as well.
Back in the dorm, violet laid on his bed.
I shouldn't bother about school since the main guy has already gotten the work done.
Violet paused. Then chuckled.
I suppose I should take a nap now.
No.
maybe~ I should try out my method of resting and relieving my mind.
violet paused his thoughts and then concluded with a faint smile.
LUCID~ DREAMING.
He said as the sunlight lit up his crystal clear violet eyes and smooth facial structure.
" I wonder what Lucid dreaming in this world is like." violet said as he slowly drifted into sleep.
In a vast moonlit field, a cool breeze blew around as the radiating moon hung in the sky. Violet laid in its centre before standing up like a zombie. I an instant he said.
"This is a dream"
Immediately, his dim violet pupils came to life. The condition for gaining awareness in a lucid dream was to first be certain you were dreaming, which violet was already skilled in.
Violet stretched his body before turning around and darting his eyes at all corners to analyse the area.
"A field huh...strange, I always appear in a city or building."
He paused. Deep in thought for a while, he shoved off the ideas that came into his head and concluded his anxiety as a unique nature of a different world's lucid dreams.
At that moment, violet wanted to take a step before noticing a massive shadow on the ground. He froze and stared at it. A drop of slimy liquid dropped on violet 's head. Violet turned around to confirm what was behind him and low and behold a massive towering beast with its ribcage openly sticking out of its torso from both sides, long four legs that ended with claws at its paws and a 200cm Long neck that held the head of what resembled a black panther, Roared. Piercing the absolute tranquillity of the night.
Violet on the other hand stood frozen. He couldn't wrap his head around what stood behind him as if waiting for him to spawn before roaring.
No.
The idea that such a thing appeared in a Lucid dream was already brainstorming.
"Ah that's right" Violet exclaimed as a truth came to his mind.
"Since this is a lucid dream, it's probably a nightmarish one. I can just make it disappear" violet smirked and lifted his tiny right hand up at the beast and snapped his fingers.
A cool breeze blew around the both of them before coming to a calm.
Huh? What's going on. Why's nothing working ? let's try this again.
Violet snapped his finger several times yet everything remained at a stale mate.
violet started to sweat all over his face.
The beast after allowing violet–it's dinner. To perform his nonsense, lunged forward and opened its monstrous jaw roaring, growling and viciously ready to devour him whole.
Viole finally realising that the dream had betrayed him, petrified. Dread pooled in his stomach.
"Fuck!"
