SECOND LIFE?
A shining contract floating in front of me. A needle is poking through the shining paper containing the contract on the area where signature normally imbued is. Seeing the contract I raise why head facing the floating girl with a weird expression on my face.
"Don't see me with that weird face you are making while having an amazing doubt in your head. This is nothing like that dark things you are thinking. No string is attached. I have been looking for allies t…" the girl stopped completing it, while giving me another glance.
"I see your doubt is about now. I will take the bet then."
She raise her right hand with her little palm open toward me and her left between her little bulges then murmured unclear words which seem to be otherworldly.
All her actions that have been done within three seconds, have changed the bustling town to a ghost town. A transparent needle suddenly is shining in front of me accompanied with her nitpicking me, "Prick your finger with it to clear your doubt away and form our personal contract or just die."
With stern confident I prick my index finger with the shining transparent sharp point. A shining contract now appear in front of the girl that has been floating on the air in front the other building that a bit lower from the building I am standing on but own a billboard with bright light shining upon it.
The contract in front of her has similar feature of a shining needle on it but instead of it being white in both needle and contract sheet, which had vanished along the ghost town appearance, is transparent with only bright outline that telling me it is there.
As it is transparent, I can see through the slow hesitating movement of the girl right hand toward the needle which of course leading me open my mouth, "Could it be you are still scared of syringe needle which leading you to feel scared right now?"
Blushed as she being found out by me, the girl with a watery eyes raise her voice yelling at me with her index finger pointing at me, "SHUT UP!!!!! I WAS ONLY ELEVEN WHEN I REACH THAT STAGE!!! I WILL SHOW YOU MY THOUSANDS YEARS EXPERIENCE BY PRICKING MY THUMB WITH THE NEEDLE!!! YOU WILL ALSO PRICK YOUR THUMB IN THE NEXT NEEDLE AS WELL!!!!!" her sudden loud voice is accompanied by the lights of the billboard behind her go dim even though the light below still shine, making the her surrounding dark. I can still see her thumb moving toward the needle since the contract also emit a light that is bright enough even without the light that gone dim.
She pricked her thumb and a bunch of information run through my mind

The content of the contract shocked me and seemed like it also shocked this The Ruler of Time and Space girl as well. The now bright again surrounding light her silhouette, showing her with her face facing down making her white bang veil her eyes from my sight.
She stayed in that position until ….

=========================================================
The contract to initiate the first contract did the same like the alliance contract on my head again and seemed to leave her out of it this time.
She returned to her original state as I am now excited from getting a chance to erase my regret. Regret that can only to be cleared of by setting my messy bad ending life to happy ending one.
"RULER OF TIME AND SPACE!!! I ACCEPT YOUR SINCERITY. And. THANK YOU!!!" I say these embarrassing words that express my current heart the best while clutching my right palm to sign the last contract and start my new life.
My right palm that is now feeling hot and pierced by the invisible spikes from the inside of my clutch make me tremble in excitement. As if I am growing as a being, but what I see is me starting to become transparent start from right clutch. As the transparency process is not instant, I give the girl that me this chance a big bright confident smile for the first and last time.
.

I can't feel anything anymore. Is this death?
As I am pondering the feeling of the deaths, I hear a familiar voice.
"He really is the most unique and special, exceeding all that I tested. Not even a single shred of fear from my life glare. He was already all black since I felt my eyes go all black yet with a single deep breath he took, he able to calm down while returning my glare with his own glare and even put a white in the black. He should have found goal to live, yet his hesitation all gone after the ABSOLUTE CONTRACT. His test seems like is a dream of his life. Then sweet dream, VEIN WELTS. Be strong enough to be my ally."
She makes a small smile before turning to the right where a gate like distortion appear.
As she about to walk to the distortion, "But fortune system. A true gift? He will be fortune or will he be misfortune or he will be like his grand….."
'Interesting' I thought. 'After an event that seems to hold a lot of hints is upholding in front me right now. I…" A sudden rollercoaster ride feel I felt in the past suddenly forcefully clear my thought since the speed is faster than normal. With no preparation on my side, I feel like I was sucked to the ground from the position I was in a speed of light, blurring the whole town and showing me the world of only light before it go all white then black as I feel no more speed. The experience just now made me feel sick.
Warm! I can feel something now. A warm I have been familiar with. A warm of sleeping on a bed under the heavy warm blanket.
Full black.
A full black sight with a feel of weight. I should be able to wake up now. Yet, I can't.

Another instant information popped up in my head. I am ready for the headache for the information overload from the history of world.
.
.
.
No headache. I can open my eyes and wake up now. A little light blurry is on my sight then I raise my body only to feel my balance is off for a while. I hold my self up using my now tiny palms. A light headache. Instead of a headache I got a light headache from the overload.
I take deep breath. A nostalgic and familiar yet feel foreign smell penetrate my nose. I remember, this is the master room where my parents had been sleeping.
The door open and a mature lady enter the room and switch the light on. This mature lady is my mother. My head is now clear, but I can feel a drop on my smooth cheek. My sight now blur with watery sight. My tears that I thought had dried rejuvenated and now is filling my eyes and wetting my cheeks. My mother smile like she usually did and come toward me and give me her motherly hug.
My mind plays me my memory related to mother.
My emotion exploded.
My voice exploded.
My tears flow endlessly wetting mother's cloth and the bed sheet as my cry fill the house.
I understand what the contracts are hinting by wish.
My wish is what I was failed to do.
What my life, my fate, had stopped me from.
A wish to make my family happy.
