LOTCF - My Wife

Chapter two

Hearing that it wouldn't be easy worries me but I already expect it to be, so now I'm stuck on deciding whether to accept it or not.

"Rok Soo will be there, right?"

"Yes he will but you'll have to wait for him to arrive cuz you will be reborn, unlike him"

"Alright, I'll do it. What's the catch?"

All of a sudden a purple screen appeared in front of me, it showed a word saying...

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A SHADOW MONARCH?

YES/NO

I look back at him with a shock at the offer that was given to me.

"Why? Aren't you supposed to be the shadow monarch? Why are you giving the title to me?"

"Because my time has come and I'm in need of a successor, someone who is very familiar with death, someone who know how death feel like"

"And how can you be sure that is me? Sure, let's say I do know what death is like and I am very familiar with it but how can you be sure that the successor you need is me? What if I fail at it?"

"Because you will prove yourself worthy of its title while living there." He points at the purple screen and says "This is a system, this will help you grow and help you get to know how to use my power."

After explaining what the system is, our surroundings suddenly change. I turn around and see a portal open behind me. I turn to look back at him and see that he is now back into his actual form. He nodded his head encouraging me to enter.

Ah, this portal must be the one to take me to the other world.

This is my chance now for another life, a better life I hope, one where I can be with my husband.

My husband, who I love deeply in my heart, I love him enough that I'm willing to start a new life in another world so that I can be with him.

With a few steps I come face to face with the portal, I close my eyes as I enter, waiting for the new life that awaits me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I open my eyes I hear the sound of birds singing outside and the sound of leaves rustling into one another. Slowly I open my eyes, I squint for a moment as a blinding stun my eyes. I look around for a moment and see that I was laid in bed, a sound catches me off guard as the door suddenly opens.

A figure of a woman enters the room, she approaches me with a smile on her face.

"Hello baby, sorry mother has to take a quick shower earlier, that's why I left you here on the bed for a moment. Did you sleep well?

Ah, this woman must be my mother here.

Unable to respond I just cooed at her and reached for her face with my little arms. She giggles at my attempt but she still leans forward so that I can touch her face. We stayed there in bed for a few minutes before she sat up and cradled me with her arm.

"Come on let go down stair mommy has to eat something to be healthy too you know"

She stood up and headed to the door. Upon opening I saw that we're currently on the second floor of the house as she made her way downstairs, my eyes wandered around the room and saw a cozy living room.

At the side you can see a fireplace with a few picture and candle on top and a window at each side, in front of it there's a small wooden table and gray couch with a few crochet blanket and pillow laid on top of it and if you look up there are a few lantern hanging by the ceiling with a candle inside them.
