A demonic laughter echoed in an empty room filled with mirrors. "I will grant your one last wish. What would it be?", said the owner the laugh to the chained man sitting in front of him in red fluid often known as blood.
Blood.
The only thing that binds people to each other. A child to their mother and a mother to her children. But blood betrays.
"I'd rather die than have someone like you by my side", whimpered the captivated man coughing blood.
"Your wish is my command", smirked the other with a gun in his hand. He pointed the gun to his head. His eyes were bloodlusty having the intense desire to wreck the person in front of him. His actions followed his body language. He started pulling the trigger. However, his face portraited a dirty look of pain as he felt a kick in his lower abdomen. "Who said you will the one doing so?", said the captivated with fire of vengeance in his eyes as some white substances emerged from his mouth.
19th March 1956, Lunarae, Seraphina
I felt heavy. My body was filled with exhaustion and grief. It was probably the best choice to keep lying where I was. The mattress was not soft yet comfortable. I slept well, after so long.
A sweet voice ranged in my eardrums, I could tell someone dear to me was calling out to me. But it was a pity I had no such person. I got up after a long night. I saw a sweet smile - one that no one showed me, but i could tell that was a pure real smile. It was a man, an old one with wrinkles on his face, shaggy hair and basic clothes which looked funny and old-fashioned.
"Were you tired yesterday, Lucas? You always wake up before me but today, you missed it", he scoffs.
I didn't know what he was speaking of but this must be a dream. I died after all. Satan's playing games with me. I just nodded to the old man and asked if I could shower. He showed me the way to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror with a razor in my hand but this is not my face. My hair is blonde not black and I have black eyes, not freaky purple ones but I have to say, this face is pretty even though it has a scar right across it's right eye. I can never be this pretty. My face's got fair skin with absolutely no pores, it was manly yet feminine. The eyes were the most attractive one - droopy monolids and a button nose with soft pink lips gave the face a charm that I never had. I touched my face and it is real. I feel like a fish-out-of-the-pool, I don't belong here. I freaked out, I ran up to the old man pleading for an answer. He just said I was being wierd.
"Are you dreaming, Lucas Paige Finn?" said the old man. I think I have heard that name before. Suddenly,a shockwave ran through my body, I saw a man with a sword in his hand shaped like a snake passing it through necks of hundreds of men, he had bloodlust in his eyes that I have seen before.
I think I know - Lucas Paige Finn - is the name of one of one of minor villians in the novel that my friend wrote in high-school and her first primary work. Its name was 'Master's wish'. She got famous after writing a couple more books but this one - she never published it, the reason was unknown.
If that's the case, the only possible answer can be that - maybe not Satan but the God has given me a boon - to relive. But there's one issue, Lucas will die and not just him, every single main Character. This is a story where the villian wins the battle. As per as I remember, the villain, and Lucas were allies but he was betrayed. The villain, Sébastien Von Ashthrone captivated Lucas's cousin, Seth, the protagonist, for his pleasure but in the end, he went insane and destroyed everything.
I can't believe I'll be dying in the hands of that man. I'll not allow that - that was the oath that I took when I was transmigated to this world. I want to live this life in peace and for that, I have to meddle into this world. This world is called Élociya. It consists of four countries with four Emperors ruling the world, Seraphina, Seraphius, Shinkine and Sōutukine. Seraphina is the country ruled by Sébastien. Its sister country is Seraphius, ruled by Zephyra Yelena Obsidian.
There are primarily four things that I have to achieve - first, to see that Sébastien cannot strip off Duke Valefor of Eujounya, the district in Seraphina where Seth resides with the two sons of Valefor as their housekeeper.
Second, to safeguard the Crimson Citadel, the magic tower in Bythe Moran, the capital of Seraphina which was destructed in the next year with the Civil War.
Third, to form an alliance with the heads of the Aya trading company, who despite their name administrate the Red light district of Seraphina, Torieuz.
Fourth, to get to close with Sébastien and assassinate him.
From today, I am Lucas Paige Finn, an acting hero.
