"At every Occasion I'll be ready for the Funeral"
------------------------
-???? POV-A quiet hum of mechanical Beeps, and coughs sounded out through the cold hospital. A dreadful melody that became melancholy to my ears. These noises I've heard for the past years, sense the prime age of twelve. I wasn't always in here, I wasn't always Mr Zhao , I wasn't always the one who received pitiful glances or sad smiles. I was once a mini league baseball star, the ace pitcher , the cool kid Aki Zhao. However, I suppose the frailer my organs and bones grew, My name and place in this world seemed to fade and disappear along with my health . Desmoplastic small round cell tumor became my surrogate name. My disease ruining my potential life, this rare form of cancer causing nothing but despair.
I had no friends and after my latest attempt stopped . No one in mind would be able to step up and surpass my totem pole Of friendship with my deceased roommate - Yumi. Although I only knew her for a small period of time and there was minor age gab between us no one could have been a better friend . I remember like yesterday when Yumi first was transported here , for a type of gliomas (brain tumor). I was so wrapped up in my own self pity , even seeing such a small girl getting her life ruined before my eyes didn't phase me. I was selfish then, never realizing the importance of kindness, respect , and empathy towards others. Specially others whom reminded me of myself .. such as yumi. Not until it was to late , I felt broken after her death , it wasn't as much self pity as longing for my friend. I some what felt I never "got over" her death, who could ?
-Flash back -
"Tsu!!!" A loud voice screamed awakening the brunette next to the figure .
A small girl came into view as the boy turned around on his hospital bed rubbing his eyes
"What Yumi, I'm tired ." He expressed angerly
"I'm getting the surgery" she said examining his facial expressions ..
"And " he replied
"AND? And I'm getting THE SURGERY . Dr Nikki raised enough money . I was next on the list !! " she said excited
He scoffs "can't you die getting?" She sits on the bed .
"Yeah it's a 50../ 50 chance but when I get through it and my butt is outside im going to be laughing in your face!"
"Yeah right " he laughed ,
"Oh and by the way Tsu.. uh here .."
Yumi pulled out a little envelope handing it to the boy ..
"Happy birthday Tsu!" A voice called out . Slowly fading into nothing ..
-Tsuyoi's POV-
It was my moments with yumi that kept me going .. hopeful for a new day
I was like a real robot then, wires attached to me at every second of the day. I was dying , the doctors knew it , my mother knew it , and so did I..
I use to fight , scream , kick , and shove when they'd poke my arms but now I'm numb And weak to the physical soreness left by a needle. Instead I "Mr. Zhao" -as my nurse lilia refers , was nothing more than a walking bomb. I was in constant agony with pain being my ruler , I was no more than an insignificant inferior little bug being pounded down day after day.
After the first three years my mother couldn't bare to see me as much as "she'd like". She once claimed it was to much for her to witness my pain, however deep down I always knew it was her own pain . Her own regrets, and lust towards finding a new purpose and reason- a new life. And that's just what she did , my mother Mia Zhao on April 12, 2125 married my step father Ang Wang a retired military officer. Leaving me to suffer on my own, while giving me the greatest gift of life on my birthday April 16, 2114 the newest DMMO- RPG name YGGDRASIL. A game that changed my life forever .
Thankfully because of my mothers marriageable choices I obtained a top tier gaming computer , and the following year a new life . Along with my own hospital room for "risk issues" and the departure of yumi left me hostile , ultimately using that cover up to have my own personal space . Where I created a new me, through the realm of online servers , Monitor screens, a mic , mouse and "Alienware" software for elite gaming . My heaven , my own sick isolation , my personal funeral, Where no one mourned but celebrated.This fictional game becoming my everyday reality , with the customizations , and online access giving me a whole new life . I no longer was just a suffering boy fearing death, but a great adventurer , a ruler , someone powerful , and admirable . I created my character and began playing YGGDRASIL on the official date released in 2126, at my tender age influencing my depiction of reality , and who I am.
So you must be wondering who am I ?
Well I'm Tsuyoi Doragon , a bad ass sorcerer.
