《Re:Cheat》Chapter 1: Prologue
Advertisement
How long has it been I wonder... 10 years ? 100 years? or maybe even...1000?..... there is no point thinking about it now... since I am already dead.
*Sigh*
In this dark and empty space where nothing exists, lay my consciousness, my existence, how come you may ask, let`s go all the way back to the begining shall we?...
09 August/xxxx.
As usual I was waiting for the train to arrive to get home from work. About 2 meters behind me stood a little girl that appeared to be 6 years old, while holding her mother’s hand, her other hand was holding onto a balloon, which she just got from the shopping mall.
Her mother, who is next to her, looked quite young she must be in her 20’s if not younger. As I said I was waiting for the train to arrive, the next thing i knew was the balloon pass me by, but what I didn’t expect was the girl that ran after it.
‘’WATCH OUT!’’
I shouted, by this time she had already crossed the yellow line, her next step would lead her to the railway, the train would arrive at any moment now, but it was too late... and as I feared it was coming... I could hear the rumbling sound of the train in the corner of my ear as I reached out to grabbed her tiny body. It was a success! if… I didn’t trip on myself that is...
*Sigh* AGGHHH that was so embarrassing!
.........
Ahemm! Right... back to the story…...
As I mentioned before, the train was coming, I could see the light appear at the end of the tunnel as I was falling down onto the railway.
The only option left is to save the girl even if that is the last thing that I can do. This is the first time in my life I wanted to do something meaningful. This girl has such a bright future ahead of her, meanwhile I am already in my 30’s.

I have been in this world long enough, I have enjoyed my life to the fullest, almost fullest… The only regret I have is that I never had a girlfriend….
But! nevertheless! I wanted this girl to enjoy her life, it’s way too early for her to leave this world. She deserves a better future than this!
With all the strength I had left, I threw her hoping that it was enough, but it wasn’t...
‘’Dang it!’’ I shouted, but at that very moment I saw two hands reaching out for her, It was her mother.
Even though she was glad that her daughter is safe, she had such a painful look on her face when she looked at me, she was saying something but I couldn’t hear it because of the rumbling sound coming the train which gets louder and louder as it gets closer to me.
If this keeps going both of them are going to feel guilty for the rest of their life, to lessen their burden I gave them a gentle smile as I shook my head lightly.
I couldn’t remember the rest of it but the last image I had in my head was the mother’s face, her face was painful as if one of her beloved was passing away….
I can finally rest in peace... or so I THOUGHT….… but…WHERE THE HELL AM I!? This place is the definition of peace, this is WAY too peaceful!!!... If there is a god please let me go back… I am still a virgin ya know? Being 33 years old without a single girlfriend during my entire life time, that is just way too pitiful!! At least let me remain in the world as a ghost or something!
*Sigh*
It was my fault for not trying to live a fulfilling life I guess? During high school I was a loner who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, I wasn’t that bad-looking... pretty decent if I say so myself. But! I was pretty shy back then, people who talked to me lost their interest after 2 minutes or so…thinking about it now makes me wanna kill myself… oh wait I am already dead…

But seriously…. where am I? Heaven..? certainly it isn’t, neither is it Hell this looks more like a space of time where nothing exist, nothing other than silence, emptiness and then there is me…
*Sigh*
Thinking about it now is just gonna make me even more depressed… I guess I’ll take a nap for now.
(This is weird... even without a body I can still see, hear, even smell, on top of that I can even speak!….. ah well I’ll just thinking about that when I wake up, good night? I guess...)
….
In the space of time there was an orb of light, despite being an orb it can speak, sometimes out of nowhere it speaks, other times it’s dead silent.
How it ended up in this empty place is unknown, it’s not even possible in the first place but that was before the orb came here.
Out of nowhere a black hole appeared, it sucked everything in, where to is unknown, but one thing is certain, the orb is being dragged in by this black hole. Without any attempt to escape the orb let the hole decide its fate…
‘’what in tHE!!?!’’ *Daichi*
(Crap where is this!?!? Wait a minute! This blue sky! I AM BACK!?! Uhm...How should I say this…? I am very grateful that I finally am back to earth but…..
‘’WHY THE HELL AM I ALL THE WAY UP HERE!?!’’

8 99Riposte
Noël is known across the city of Portland—and not by choice. Under the care of the richest man in the city and just transferred to a new high school, she's already making close friends... and bitter enemies. A chance encounter on her first day plunges her headfirst into a secret underground tournament. Between suspicious classmates and utter strangers, Noël soon gets a taste for the addictive rush of the duel, but questions of love and trust complicate every move she makes. Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it!

Our unlucky (Lucky?) protagonist doesn't even get to find out as he finds himself in a world of cultivators with a "Golden Ring" of a system inside his head.

"Against the Gods? That means Yun Che should be here... If I run into that psycho who knows what might happen. On the other hand, he is a prick so it would be a fun idea to mess with him and keep those girls safe. Might even see if Qingyue is all the book made her out to be~ Not like he deserves her." Follow Jin as he tears up the plot, trolls the would be MC, and grows in power with the help of his snarky system. (I don't own the art, found it online)
