《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!?!’’

One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)

He runs the underground. She’s made it her playground. Their time together--the stuff of pulp fiction. When a corrupt corporate conspiracy threatens to tear them apart, they blast back with their offbeat brand of crime and chaos. This story is just one from the pulps.

Bon Week-end is a novel written in the tradition of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s neo-polar, existing now as what shall be known as the neo-serial. This is Nippoten’s second serial following the superhero epic Entirely Presenting You. This novel will have a rather unique release schedule compared to others.
