...
I woke up in a house, not a house that I'm familiar with. Just a house that I remember…
It's that type of dream again right? The one that I can't control my own body…
I confirm it when my body begins to stretch and then go towards a bathroom nearby.
What's this dream is going to be about?
{-Good morning, [SHHHHHH].}
Hm…? Good mor-
{-Hey miss…}
Miss…? But I only called Furiae that way when…
{-Ready for your third contract?}
{-I don't know…}
{-Come on kid. You can't be afraid of these contracts.}
{-I know, it's just that the fighting really scares me. But since it's for you, then I'll do it.}
{-That's good kid, I'll come back when the contract is ready, See you!}
{-Later…}
I see, the Third contract, so this means that this house that I'm in is…
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door in the room with a simple design. White walls, a bed, a TV, a wardrobe, a wood window that is closed and fur flooring.
It's my room…
I begin to hear a familiar voice coming from the behind the door in my room. It's a rough but calm voice.
-Hey [SHHHHH]. Are you ready for school yet?
School, huh? Then I must be around 14~16 years old.
-Not yet! I'm getting my clothes on!
No, you are not. You just woke up, so you can't be ready for school already.
But that voice, this means that this dream is going to hurt me the most. This is probably what made me value the life of others later on.
After 10 minutes of getting ready with a school uniform, my body gets out of the room and enters a corridor that leads to another room on one end and the other end is a set of stairs.
My body goes down the stairs quickly and walks around the normal house.
The house in itself doesn't have anything worth mentioning. We weren't rich, but not poor. The house had white walls and fur flooring all over it. The house had a living room with a TV, a green couch and a vase with fake flowers. Then it had the dining room with a wood table, four chairs and next to it was the small kitchen.
You could say that this house is a small one. But I can't complain, because this is the best living condition that I had the rest of my life.
My body sits down on the wood chair and waits for the man in the kitchen to come with a plate of fried eggs and French bread.
The man… My father that is in the kitchen has a normal appearance, brown hair, brown eyes and a simple face for a man. He was… I think 5 ft? I don't really care actually...
With a brown pants and white shirt, he brought two plates with the eggs and French bread in them.
He placed one in front of me and one across me.
With a small silver knife, my body cuts the French bread open while my father makes the same question that he does every morning.
-So, how's Furiae?
-...You know I can't tell you dad.
-…
Yes, he knew about my contracts, he knew about how I got in contact with her. Even though I told him every morning the same answer when he made that same question.
Sometimes he would say "You just need to be careful when doing what you do okay?" but that was just when I moved in with him. Eventually he would just stare at me while I'm eating with a fake smile and dead eyes.
I ignored his stares, kept my mind on getting better at the contracts. But now that I'm reliving my life, that stare seems so… annoying.
I didn't try to have a conversation with him because I was used to him make the conversation flow.
My body finishes eating and stands up. While cleaning my mouth from bread crumbs and oil, my body stated with a happy voice.
-Then I'm going to school dad. See you later okay?
-Yeah.
My body walks up to the front door in front of the stairs and wears the white shoes with the school's symbol in it.
My father is a very clean person, so he didn't want anybody that came to visit to wear their shoes while walking around the house.
My body goes out the house and begins to walk towards the nearby school.
It's a private school where they are almost sexually obsessed with uniforms and their symbol. You can't even get near the school's entrance without the full uniform of a white shirt with the school's mark in the middle of it, and black pants that had the school marks on the pockets.
It's not something that I cared about. It's just something that I thought when I remembered about this school.
My body enters the school and go on to the usual class.
I'm not that great of a student but not the worst one either. I always like to stand between things, to not get much attention. Because if I stand out as the best student, people will think highly of me and will avoid talking to me, and if I stand out as the worst student people will think me as trash and will avoid me.
It's really hard to find the middle of it, but you just need to have the average behavior of a student of my age and average grades.
I had a few friends and all of them were dating each other.
I didn't care about being alone in love because I just wanted someone to talk to.
My body looks at the clock on the wall of the classroom. It's almost time to go home already, 17:50.
It was raining, it was like the sky knew what was about to happen.
My body gets to the school entrance after waiting for 10 minutes. I don't have an umbrella and everyone is already gone.
I decided to run home under the rain because I knew that my father wasn't home at this time.
He didn't say what he does when I'm gone, so I thought that he had a job.
Suddenly, while my body was running in the sidewalk towards my house, Furiae spoke with me in a depressed voice.
{-Hey kid…}
{-Miss? I can't talk right now, if I stay on the rain for too long then I will get sick.}
{-This can't wait. It's the contract, I have it and you need to read it.}
{-Okay… just give me a minute.}
My body quickly finds a place that I can stay under without the rain showering me.
{-There…}
{-…I'm really sorry kid.}
Suddenly the scroll with the contract break info appears in my hand. While feeling Furiae go away, my body opens the scroll.
Target's name: Jack Olligan
Target's age: 34
Contract break reason: No info found.
Sentence: Separation from the contracted soul and death.
Apply mana for directions.
Even though I was cold from the rain, my hands trembled from the fear of killing my own father.
I knew that even if screamed to Furiae, she wouldn't hear me. She's already somewhere else.
The paper on the scroll doesn't get wet, so my body simply walks the rest of the way home.
My body arrives home and takes a bath and eats the dinner that he always would leave for me. I open the door and it's still raining as strong as when it started.
I extend my left arm and summon the halberd on my hand.
Even though I'm happy to see it again, the sadness of reliving this moment of my life is bigger than the happiness.
The halberd looks like it's made of glass because I didn't put more of my soul in it.
It's pretty late already. The moon is going to show itself at any moment from now on.
I walk out of the house and lock the door. And while ignoring the rain, I begin to run towards the direction the scroll is telling me.
After an hour of walking and running, I arrive at the nearest cemetery. The White rose cemetery. This was the cemetery with my father's ex-wife grave.
I make mana crystal so the normal humans wouldn't get near this place and activate it next to the gate.
While panting, I quickly entered the cemetery because I thought that it was an error, that my father wasn't dumb to break his contract, which was to revive the dead with his contracted soul's power.
He never told me his soul's name, and I never discovered who it was. But I knew that it was powerful, more powerful than Furiae.
If you would like to compare them, then compare a candle's fire to a forest fire. The candle's fire is Furiae and the forest fire is his soul.
-Urrgh…
I finally find him next to a zombie of a woman.
The woman was just standing next to him, nothing more, while he is sitting in the edge of a hole, which probably is where her grave is.
Even though my tears are going down my face while approaching him, I won't stop from getting closer to him and trying to see for what reason he broke the contract.
When I'm seven meters of distance from him, he begins to speak with me in a depressed voice.
-You probably want to know what was the reason for me to break my contract, right?
Without moving his head much, he glanced at me and I nodded at him.
He continues to speak while going back to staring the grave in front of him.
-Then let's leave the reason being that I lost my wife and the stress from seeing my child going out to kill people got to me.
-Y-You're not going to tell me the real reason…?
-I can, but I don't have the courage to. I prefer the punishment that they seemed to give me. Sorry [Shhh], but… you need to meet my ex-wife.
-Urghh!
The zombie woman next to him begins to run towards me, but I quickly deal with her with my halberd by cutting her head in half.
I get closer to him and he looks me in my eyes. While tears overflowed from my eyes, I questioned him.
-Y-You aren't going to fi-fight?
-No… I can't fight you. I already accepted my own death.
He looks back into the hole and I approach the trembling halberd to his neck.
While giving him a final plead I lift the halberd into the air.
-Then please fight back, dad…
I wanted him to stop me and I didn't want to kill him like this. But he just ignored me.
-...
All of my strength left my arms when I saw him look at the grave with his dead fish stare, making the halberd behead him.
With a thud, his head and body fell into the hole. Without crying more, I dumped his ex-wife's remains with him and buried them together.
I remember that while I buried them, I wanted to cry so much, but I couldn't for now.
I finish burying them and throw away the shovel that I found nearby and begin to make my exit out of the cemetery.
When I pass the gate, I destroy the mana crystal and walk back home.
When I enter the house, I walk up to the couch and sit on it. I hug my legs and begin to cry.
Cried like a baby, I would cry more than I would ever cry in my life.
While my body cries, I begin to feel my consciousness going away.
...Damn, that got me in a bad mood, I hope what the lizard asks me will not need me to have a better mood than this.
