1 Chapter 1:The Beginnig
He's a perfect asshole!
It is a little singular... however it is good when you know it... others were saying...
But they all agree on one thing...
He is really proud!...
Many of them had worked that year and besides different expenses in common, the whole room had managed to rent a bar for themselves, to celebrate the farewell of that year...
Sebastian would have preferred not to go and yet he was insisted by many of his friends to do so, with the excuse that nothing would be the same for them at the beginning of the university... something that even though he did not want to recognize him, he had to give the reason...
That night it was cold...
The wind was not very strong but not very calm in the small coastal city where they lived, so I pull the collar of his jacket covering his neck and advance quickly through the paths to reach the bar, making the concrete resonate with the soles of his shoes ...
In spite of the cold that made anyone bend over, he gave himself the luxury of walking with long strides and straight as an arrow, looking over his shoulder around him with his sharp gray eyes... giving the impression of staring at everything even though it was not really like that...
His steps soon took him to a pretty nice place, with a big sign that said "Black Bear" in a unique calligraphy that I can not recognize.
Thanks to the glasses, he could see that many had already arrived...so without delaying it any more, he pushed the doors...
The heat immediately reached his body and comforted him, feeling like he was climbing up his legs through the jeans and warming the leather of his jacket...
-Sebas arrived," shouted several people, to which he smiled in general.
The first person who approached him was a girl who was a little short, with a sincere smile and a shot in her hand...
She was dressed for the night, with a black short and a short sleeve blouse, ignoring the cold outside or with a coat that could not be seen with the naked eye...
Her face was beautiful, with adorable ears on each side of the mouth and her hair was gathered in a stylized chestnut ponytail leaving her white neck free...
-I thought you were not going to come Sebas ..." he said while he had the shot and a kiss on the cheek, for which he had to stand on tiptoe ... get warm ... these ice cream ...
He just smiled and waved back to his friend...
-Thank you Melly!...god my legs were freezing out there...good thing I'm immortal...inside...he said as he took the little glass and emptied it down his throat, feeling it burning inside...wow!...vodka!...this is good...who else came? ....
Sebastian started to take off his jacket, but before he could take it off from his arms, he felt a weight throwing himself against his wide back...
-My love, how beautiful you are in black!...-a manly voice came to him forcibly-...and that shirt makes me c-r-a-z-y!...hahaha...
-How much did you take Luci?...-said Sebas while smiling accompanied by Melly who could not help but do less when she saw a blond man perched with a seraphic grimace on the boy-...you are going to start with your faggots...please don't today...
-What?...are you afraid you'll end up liking it?...-asked Luci as she came down with a pout...
Sebastian locked his jaw and spanked his friend.
-No...I'm afraid of hurting you hahaha...-I joke before hanging up the jacket finally-...there are people missing here...I don't see Paul or Adrien...much less July...where is everybody?...-I ask the rest of the people there...
-They are in the room...-said Melly while she looked quickly at the rest of the people there...but...Seb...I wanted to tell you that ....
-What happened?...-asked Melly while she was looking at the girl's face, before her look got a little cold...she's here, isn't she?...
The chestnut snorted a little and juiced with her fingers...
-Yes...she also put money and is a friend of a good number of those who are here...
Lucien came over with a bottle of whiskey in his hands to try and have a drink with his closest friends but before he could look at them, both the alcohol and the glass had been taken from his hands....
-No problem," he said as he stood up straight again and took a second shot but of whiskey. "It would be unfair if you had to choose out of stupidity, I really don't care about anything I do tonight as long as it doesn't bother me.
Both Melly and Luci looked at each other and followed the silhouette of their friend, along with everyone else who was waiting for him.
Sebastian had no problems the first three hours....
I greet almost everyone present and with all of them I drink a lot, although it would be convenient to say that I drink more than I should, because I had to vomit once or twice to be able to continue drinking...
He danced with everyone he could until he received a random message.
Tired, he sat down and took out of his pocket a phone that was a little old, but he still used it and looked at the screen...
He just looked at a notice from a social network, with a beer in hand, when he got a perfume that he knew very well...
-Message at four o'clock in the morning?...I see that you are still billing very well....- said a very subtle voice from behind his head, clearly feminine...
Without having to turn Sebas smiled...
-I wish I could check in without having to worry about a toxin every now and then... you don't, Marian?
In response...he received a slap on the hand that forced him to drop the mobile phone, which fell on the armchair...
Jaded, Sebas raised his eyes upwards to the left, drowning out the sounds of music and the smell of cigarettes to concentrate on her, even if he did not want to, because it was a habit he had developed since he met her....
If Melly was short then she could only be described as a dwarf, no more than 1.50, but she was still very beautiful... or at least she was in his eyes...
Marian was curvaceous, she was exactly the image of a guitar and not even Sebas himself knew why every time he saw her he wanted to get her pregnant, but sadly, despite the beauty of her body and the fascinating beauty of her charmingly black eyes, or her tremendously agitated pink mouth, there was a problem between the two of them which was a guillotine in their feelings...
Both were tremendously proud!
If Sebastian looked at everyone he didn't know with disdain and as if they were stupid, or never missed an argument...then Marian was...well...it was exactly the same...
It was impossible for her to put a filter on what she was saying, resulting in the hostility of many of the people she knew.
Both felt like rulers of the world living among common people, without the clear contempt but it was a continuous clash between them every time they met, and as it usually happens, Sebastian did not know her feelings towards him and Marian did not know his feelings towards her, as a result, they used to be in a strange relationship, in the words of Luci .... a mixture of friends, enemies, boyfriends and finally exes...
That's why many thought twice before putting these two people in a room, because they could either be quiet, with her sitting on their lap, or indifferent without practically speaking to each other or strangling each other for any trifle!
Many times they were told, that there was a lot of sexual tension between them, that they should get it off their chest at once...however, no one knew that they really considered it...and as a result, they were now worse off than ever...they were scared...
They clashed all the time and more in the last year, and Sebas, tired of all this, decided to cut it short, decided to ignore it all the time and even more in this last party...
Now, he was confronting a beautiful girl who was angry, drunk and who really didn't give a damn if there were people, at this moment he only wanted to kiss her because given her short stature she only became more and more adorable ....
However,even he knew that doing that drunk was a stupid thing to do...so he just smiled at her while he ran his hand through her hair...
-What do you want Marian?...one last fight before the end of the year?
-Do you think I like fighting and more with you?...-she replied as she clenched her fists-...I want to know why you have been ignoring me!...
And there it was... what I hated most about her was pretending nothing ever happened!
With that, Sebastian simply stood up while he threw a furious laugh underneath...
-Come on!...again?...again?...more of the same?...-he asked as he approached the bar-...you can't just leave me alone, can you?...
-I'm sorry for being so annoying for wanting to talk to you!
Sebastian grabbed a bottle and then emptied its contents into a glass until it was full to the brim...
-If you know it.... why do you do it?...-I ask with a sneer while almost staggeringly taking a sip and confronting the girl...-I'll tell you what's going to happen...
-I'll tell you what's going to happen..." she snorted as she held on to one leg...
Meanwhile, Luci came closer and stood between the two of them.
-Guys...I think...you've had enough...because we're not going outside and...
-First...-Sebastian shouted, silencing his friend...first...we are going to argue in front of all these idiots, without offending Luci you know that I love you, and we will pretend that we hate each other strongly in front of all of them...maybe you will throw something on the floor or push me or hit me...
-You really think you're the navel of the world?!...-she shouted as she forced a rabid smile...
-I am at least of your world!...which will lead us to the second thing!...you will feel bad...-I whisper while giving another drink to the glass, ignoring that a good part of those present were listening to them-... you are going to come and ask me for forgiveness,saying that I know how you are,that I should be more patient with you,that nobody is the same as me,etc,etc...so that in the end you will end up fucking in the bathroom or someplace where you are not supposed to see us,and even if you did,we really don't care...
Marian's face was frozen with surprise at Sebas' words, while the others focused completely on the three of them.
-And to conclude, after we have found everything somewhere...you will say that it is the last time, and you will walk out of that door...- she said while pointing to the entrance, to end the glass and swallow while she slowly bent down at his height and smiled at him-...why not skip all that?...let's go straight to the part where you leave...or at least don't bother me!
PAH!...
Sebastian felt his gaze become untidy and a strong impact abrade the whole left side of his face...
Unexpectedly, all the fog and mist of his thoughts, the courage and the disdain he felt at that moment and allowed him to say all that, dissipated as if it were nothing.
Dazed, he turned his eyes just to see those big black eyes that he couldn't get enough of, red and flooded with tears, but that was all, because he bit his lips so that he wouldn't hear a single sob.
Only in that moment they realized that the music was not playing...everyone was watching them...
Sebastian gasped at that moment...
-Ok...maybe...maybe I...
-Fuck you! ...-Voice maker Marian as he passed by and walked to the exit of the bar...
While she was leaving the bar, he couldn't help but look around, only to find that no one wanted to keep an eye on him...
He had really misbehaved...maybe he had reason to feel confused...but it was neither the time nor the place to throw it all in his face...
Sighing, he left the glass on the bar and went out to look for Marian, under the sight of everyone else...
As the bar was in a street with a view to the sea, when he left, a gelid wind shook the body of the boy and together with the night without stars, it gave him a desolate impression, but if he saw the small figure of Marian under the cold without any type of heavy coat...
She was going down to the street, in fact she already had one foot in it...
He wanted to make things right, he didn't want to fight forever, but he knew he would have to keep a lot of his pride by saying the necessary words...
Unfortunately, he didn't have the time...
He didn't know if it was because he was too concentrated on her or because he was confused by his feelings or even by the alcohol...but neither he nor she noticed the truck coming down the street...
Without being able to believe it yet, Sebastian perceived his body moving by inertia towards Marian, who was dangerously close to being run over by the same truck that had already started to honk!
Everything was in slow motion from there...
The long noise of the horn, the pulling of the girl with all her strength and using her body, the clear perception that with this action she went down to the street and with that, she was left in the path of the truck, and above all the light more and more intense!
.
.
.
.
It was rare for him to have felt the impact and the pain afterwards, when he was already on the ground.
His head was shaken, possibly because he had been hit the hardest in his body and surprisingly he felt that he was far from the truck, because of the noise in the distance, so the blow had thrown him far away for a long time.
He tried to move, ignoring the pain that even though it was a bit...distant, it was still pain as such...
He only managed to move his eyes a little, noticing that he was indeed about 8 or 9 meters away from the truck, which he did not know if, for his comfort, was really dented and his front glass was shattered and scattered by the cold asphalt...
There was an insistent shouting from his friends and by the time he wanted to react he lost consciousness for a few milliseconds...
When he reacted, he had Lucien, Melly and Marian on him... they were very agitated and were constantly leaning on him...
-I wake up!...I wake up!...-the blond man shouted as he smiled...
-Luci!...call an ambulance!...call an ambulance!...hurry up!...-Called Melly while she hit him on the shoulders...
-I'm coming!...please don't die Sebas!...-responded the blond man with an exclamation as he got up to speak on the phone...
Unfortunately, when he wanted to say something to comfort the boy, he felt himself drowning and spat out a breath of blood...
The two girls who came with him looked at each other...and then unbuttoned the buttons on his shirt...
Their eyes filled with tears when they saw that between the ribs under his left breastplate, there was a large piece of glass that they had not seen because of the dark and somewhat bloodstained clothing.
The scarlet liquid kept coming out of his side and flooding his mouth...
It was not necessary to be a doctor for the three of them to know that he was drowning in his blood...
Neither Marian nor Melly knew what to do.... in that state, he hardly seemed the boy they knew, haughty and strong walking imposingly ahead of them...because now that same boy was beaten, wounded and agonizing in front of them...
Sebas could not speak either .... if he had his mouth open he knew he would spit blood, in fact, he could feel his lungs collapsing more and more...
I will die?....here?...now?...like this?
Those were the questions he asked himself...for some reason, he never thought he would die, he saw that as something far away and almost impossible to happen to him...
Suddenly he felt insignificant...the cold and the dream began to cloud his body and mind and he understood that he did not have much left...
He took another look at the girls in front of him and as he gurgled he forced all the strength he could use into his arm, looking for a hand...anyone's...
Unexpectedly Marian caught his hand in the air as his tears ran down his face uncontrollably...
They wouldn't say it...but they were asking each other to forgive them in silence...
Melly was about to go crazy...
-Seb...no...please....what do I do?...what do I tell your parents?!...-I exclaimed as I watched her friend die-...please don't do this...
The image of both girls soon became more and more blurry.... and finally the silence enveloped him along with the darkness...
.

Death huh?...
I always thought I would never die...
-
What is that?
-
A script of typing ...
-You just died...
What the hell? .... what are you?...
-Unnecessary question...
Unnecessary question?...what do you mean by...
-File name,Sebastian Grissom....Number 40398...Age,18...Status,Finished...
I can't hear anything, both you and I...are writing...
-Affirmative...though irrelevant...
What do you mean irrelevant?...I just died!...isn't there supposed to be hell or heaven?...I don't know...reincarnation at least!...
-Negative....S/2801...R/492...U/2391...the entities known as Gods have ceased to exist...the human faith did not maintain them...by such defect,an embracing cybernetic system derived from the one that controls the cyberspace of the present world,manages the substance known as "soul" and regulates the beyond...
No...I understood a shit!...the machines control the other life because the gods have died...this is...
-In a simplified way...your hypothesis is affirmative...therefore...you are given three options from now on...
Options?...but why?!
-The system performs an annual scan of the conglomerate known as "humanity"...Sebastian Grissom,Number 40398,due to the result of the calculation of exponential growth and decrease,you showed fixed patterns of behavior and biological circulation...
I still don't understand anything...and if better...
-But...tonight, by saving the individual better known as Marian Rachel Rice, Number 67458, you marked an incongruence with the fixed pattern you had been holding for 2 years, 9 months and 29 days, with 4 hours and 36 minutes...
To save Marian... I changed my behavior...
-Affirmative...you left aside the feeling known as "pride" and prioritized a life that was not yours without processing it properly...for this reason, you are now given three different options for being an incongruity in the system...
...
…
Well...that's fine...I guess it's a good thing I sacrificed my life for hers....
-I don't process your attempt to minimize the facts in a futile attempt to hide your feelings...
AH?!...I don't try to hide anything.!..
-Time is relative but it is still considered that spending more microcycles in such an inefficient debate like this is not appropriate...are you ready for me to list the options available to your essence?
As you say...
Option number 1: you are allowed a re-entry to the conglomerate of origin but in another body, synaptic reprogramming of the biological body...or reincarnation in a term you know...
I would preserve my memories...
-Negative...all your encephalic mass would be renewed and restored to a point zero...you would begin as a completely new living being...
Step...
Option number 2: Assimilation and reprogramming...you would be absorbed by the system and would function as an extension of it...administering the world as it has for 16 thousand years,9 months,4 days,5 hours,34 minutes and 12 seconds...particularly I recommend it, you would have access to the total and complete compendium of information of the world and all the functional assets of the system...
No thanks,it must be boring...
-Option number 3: Immediate data transfer out of the system...
?!....outside....of the system?....
-You will be redirected outside the jurisdiction of the system and you will never return to this space or to the original conglomerate you knew...it is inefficient to host an individual that has no real and applied function in anything....
But...but...I...my family...my friends...everything I knew...
-from an etymological point of view...you never valued anything and you took for granted everything around you...so it is illogical to regret the loss of something that you did not register as a high priority...
By what right do you insinuate that I...!
-With the right that gives us to have monitored and protected various aspects of the conglomerate and everything that is incumbent on it....Sebastian Grissom...you will be reincarnated in a system that is not the one you knew and we will not speak again...
NO!...wait!...wait don't-...
.
.
.
.
Sebastian finally reacted for a seemingly long time with great inspiration...
The body, that which he remembered mistreated and on the verge of death, only throne for having been so long quiet at the moment of standing up and remaining seated .
The smell of mud and rain soon assaulted his nostrils, forcing him to look around.
He was lying on the side of a dirt road, rural and covered with dry or wet mud still...as if he had been thrown there on purpose!
There was no trace of city or civilization in a good amount of meters around!
He swallowed his saliva before standing up and hearing his legs thunder as well...
The sky above his head was overcast and poorly lit, letting him guess that it was at least 6 pm ...
-Well...he chose this stupid computer to leave me!...-Sebastian shouted as he banged his arms to shake himself, noticing how his voice sounded different, although he didn't know that precisely...
It was in the open, clearly, although there was only a forest about six hundred meters east of where he was standing...
His body was tired and clearly not in condition to walk for long, discovering that feeling of strangeness, which did not dress as usual …
They were pieces of clothing that made up a set of medieval thieving clothes...based on leather and humble cloth batons...
Sebastian looked at the sky and waited patiently for a second, hoping for some kind of miracle...
Out of that feeling of weightlessness and dullness, there was nothing out of the ordinary with his body...so reluctantly he tried to walk, or at least reach the withered tree that was on the other side of the road...
Unexpectedly, all his strength went or seemed to go in those six staggering steps he took towards the tree...
Abruptly, he felt a wave of dizziness coming from his head, which forced him to hold on to the agonizing plant life that seemed to be his only companion there.
It had never been so hard for him to take a few steps!
-Damn it...my whole body feels heavy.... I don't understand...
-Fufufu....- an irresistibly mellow voice drifted into Sebastian's ears, in a tone I never thought I'd hear-...your teachers didn't teach you that after breaking through several consecutive levels you should consolidate your growing base...
The black hair turned everywhere in search of the voice...finding nothing but wind around him...
That kind of voice, even though it was very beautiful, at this moment, and in this tone, was nothing but threatening to Sebastian himself!
-Who the hell is it?! ....where are you?!...
-Do you want to see this little sister?...-I hear her answer, this time in a whisper-...here I am!...
.
A crunch later, Sebastian managed to see how a crack opened in the wood of the dead tree and let us see a virulent yellowish eye, and then he felt a monstrous impact on his stomach, perceiving how he did not break something miraculous or because whoever gave him such a blow did not want him to break anything, at least not so easily!
Practically from the other side of the street, where he had woken up and from the ground he saw how the supposedly dead tree broke, bent and changed into an ashen woman from inside the trunk!
