Soul Delivery (English)

Reversed Time Illusion Part 1

“In that case, okay. I don’t have much time. After this, I will give you the Reverse Time Illusion. Are you ready?”  Marchio said. At the same time, he ensured that Heka was really ready to face an endless illusion.

Of course, he was very prepared, because it was the only thing he wanted. "Hmmm..."

Marchio reminded him. He couldn't help him out of the Reverse Time Illusion, "But remember one thing. Whether life or death, it depends on you. Can you accept reality or not? Don't get me wrong about what will happen to you."

"Don't worry, it is my own way." It was clear. This time, his death was on the edge. If he didn't come back, he had already left a message for Clancy. So there was nothing to regret.

“Close your eyes!!!” Marchio said.

Heka closed his eyes as ordered by Marchio. He felt calm and quiet. Then, he heard Marchio's voice.

"Now, open your eyes!!!"

Heka opened his eyes. In front of him, there were his parents. He was happy. Finally, there was another chance to meet them. He didn't know how to repay what Marchio had given him.

"Heka!!!", His parents called him. They smiled broadly.

He turned to Marchio. Marchio just smiled and invited him to come to his parents.

He walked towards them. He cried with a smile. For him, it was the happiest thing in his life.

However, he kept convincing himself that it was an illusion. Although he was happy and enjoyed every moment. He was also ready to accept the consequences if he could not return to the real world.

He hugged his parents tightly, “Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for being a useless child.”

"It's time for us to go," his father said.

Heka looked back. He looked at Marchio, whether it was the last time or not. Most importantly, he would never forget Marchio for what he has given.

Marchio waved, "Go…enjoy your time."

Heka responded with a smile. All he wanted, was to stay with them. In front of him, a door appeared. His father opened the door and a dazzling white light came out.

After he passed through the door, the view in front was very clear. He was in a crowd. He realized that he was alone. His parents disappeared. He looked around and looked for them.

Nothing. Heka couldn't find them. “What happened? Why do they disappear?"

He remembered something, and he had been in this place before. He was in the front yard of the supermarket, "Caraluzzi Newton Market, why did Marchio bring me to this place?"

"Heka, let's go to the toy store."

He heard a child's voice. He looked down. He was holding Navi. It was so confusing. However, he had to make sure one thing, “Just buy one toy. Don't take long time! I don’t want to get scolded."

"If you are scolded, I will protect you."

He was relieved that they were still alive. "Okay, let's go!!!"

Suddenly, he felt his legs couldn't move. His whole body felt stiff. He could only move his eyes. He turned to Navi. His body was also frozen, the same as him.

He saw a woman approaching him. "That is weird. Why can't I move at all? But, can she move freely?” There was one thing he was very worried about, the woman who approached him with a knife.

The woman put the knife into his hand. She stabbed slowly, but deeply. But he couldn't feel the pain from the prick at all. The blood that came out was put into a bowl.

Heka wanted to escape. Unfortunately, he couldn't move and speak at all. He could only speak in his heart, “Who are you? What do you do to me?”

After she took his blood, she just left. A few seconds later, Heka felt her body could be moved again. But unlucky, he immediately felt down. “Auughh….!!!”

Navi shouted, "Heka...!!!". He cried when he saw Heka and felt down and bleeding.

Heka saw in front of his feet there was a boulder. His stabbed hand also touched the stone. All he felt was pain. His blood was flowing profusely.

He suddenly felt dizzy and his vision became blurred. As it was a memory appeared.

It was her who was behind it all. Because of her, Heka had to endure pain and struggle because he had slept hard.

Many questions popped into his mind, “Who is she? Why did she do it for me?”

This time, he understood why Marchio took him back to this time. Because it was the beginning of a drastic change in his life.

He clearly remembered that he could live normally before. He can sleep easily. When he was very tired, he could rest longer. Then, his life changed drastically. He had trouble sleeping and it could last a few days. Dozens of sleeping pills didn't help at all.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember why it happened at all. All he knew was that he thought he was disturbed and couldn't sleep at all.

However, he didn't know her motive. He was sure that he didn't know her at all, neither had he ever met her at all. It was their first meeting. It was also a very cruel first impression.

If he returned to this time, it meant that he would experience suffering from insomnia that can never be cured.

"Am I going to meet Ansel too? Will he offer Soul Delivery? Should I accept it? Or should I avoid it?”

One name he remembered, Ansel. He had known Ansel for a long time. But Ansel was difficult to guess and understand. From the beginning, he had a bad feeling about Ansel. But he forced himself to oppose his bet. This time, all the bad things that happened were obviously related to Ansel.

Ansel was the one who offered his own treatment, soul delivery. He also told him to refuse Soul Delivery. He also said that he would always help him in any problems. He seemed to force Heka to involve himself in everything in his life. He also treated him harshly, like a bad guy.

Heka remembered what had happened to him. He had decided not to receive any help from Ansel. After that, he repeatedly changed his mind and did not accept Soul Delivery.

He couldn't make the same mistake. So, their parents could live. Even so, he ended up suffering for the rest of his life. For him, it was much better than to exchange the soul of the most important person in his life.
