The World Traveler

Chapter 000

"Hmm? Asaan ako?" tanong ko nang makita ko ang sarili kong nasa isang madilim na lugar.

Ang pangalan ko ay Alexander Montefalco, 45 years old, a simple man who had a stable job, a loving wife, a cute twin daughter that I doted on, a happy family.

And yes... had, past tense dahil wala na yun, salamat sa peste kong asawa. Wedding anniversary namin noon, kaya umuwi ako ng maaga para sorpresahin siya, pero sa huli, ako ang nasorpresa, because I caught my wife, cheating on me, copulating on our bed happily with a different man.

Nagdilim ang paningin ko at binubog ko ang lalaki, pati siya, natigil lang nang mga pulis na ang umawat sakin. Because of that, I was sent to jail for a year, was fired from my job, had my marriage annulled while those at the court thinks I am an abusive husband losing everything that I own except for a meagre amount of money, the house and some other shits I had before we were married, and the bitch happily went and married her fucking new guy and my twin daughters followed their mother due to them thinking I was an abusive father, and due to that fucking reason, they hated me and treated me like I was some sort of a turd found on the roadside, even though I tried to talk to them, they won't talk to me, they even sent me a message telling me how their new dad is a better father than me, so I stopped caring anymore, fucking bitches, all of them, them and their bitch ass mother.

And perhaps to harass me up, my bitch ex-wife sends me a pornographic video about her and her new husband having sex, as if naman na pagpaparausan ko ang video na yun, so I made a pornhub account and uploaded those videos, fortunately, they were all soft copies so I have a clear proof that they were sent to me along with a message that I should do whatever I want with the videos.

For years, my life became miserable, but because my neighbors who were friends and had known me even before I got married were getting worried, and thus I acted like I finally moved on, but the truth is, I'm far from moving on, I feel like a shit that should just die, basically... MY LIFE IS SUCH A MESS.

Seven years had passed since the anullment and its been six years since I stopped caring about my twin daughters, naglalakad ako pauwi mula sa paghahanap ng bagong trabaho, although I don't have the motivation since I am already 45, who would hire a 45 year old anyway, but I have to act the part.

Naglalakad ako nang bigla na lang, pagkurap ko, nandito na ako, sa isang madilim na lugar.

"Hello," sabi ng isang magandang babae around 16 ang edad, at kapansinpansin na meron siyang tenga at buntot ng isang fox, makes me wonder if its a cosplay items.

"... Yeah, right, I forgot, hindi mo na nga pala ako matatandaan ever since that happened," sabi niya sakin kaya napaisip ako, kilala ko ba siya, and what does she meant by that?

"Anyway, I'll return what is rightfully yours since a new world is calling for you, my champion hero," dugtong niya na ikinalito ko ng sobra, dahil champion hero? New world? What the heck is that, feels like something from a plot my younger self before I got married would always read.

"You don't need to remember everything, just the way to use your powers will do, and as always, I'll leave it to you whether you'll help them or not," sabi niya at nagliwanag ako at nang mawala, nakita ko ang sarili ko sa isang throne room like place, along with four fifteen to sixteen years old childrens, a boy and three girls.

"Eh," sabi ko nang biglang may mga pumasok sa isipan kong mga kaalaman, a knowledge of my past life, where I was summoned to a fantasy world like these kids, when I was sixteen, and in there, I grew strong, stronger than everyone, and gained the title strongest individual, but when the demon god was killed, I too was killed, betrayed by my friends and lover, that is why I asked that goddess who brought me in that world, to remove every memory I have when she decided to revive me back in my world, but because its a knowledge, I don't feel hurt or regretful, I just felt sad, because in two lifetime, I was betrayed by my lover, and what really bothers me is just, what is our true relationship with that girl from earlier since what I learned is quite vague, is she the goddess that summoned me back then?
