2 A Dying Man's Hope

Romance, it's simple, yet complicated, sweet but at the same time bitter.

Some romantic stories start in an unexpected way or a developed one, to say it's mysterious.

And there is me.

I thought I have found my the one and only, my true love, my forever but I was wrong, as a certified weeb I'd call my situation NTR'D yes, I've been NTR'D

Might have described it in a colorful way but no, that revelation hurts like hell, not to mention depressing.

I've been mentally damaged, a major one.

And that's not all, my bad luck didn't end just by me getting NTR'D, when shit hits the fan, you'll never know what happened.

As for me? Well I got a 2nd stage cancer, and it was bull and shit, it's like all of the bad luck came after me.

How terrible my fate is. Despite that, I didn't shed a single tear, was I brave for not crying? No, I am absolutely terrified and depressed, it's official.

Just many things happened in a very short moment in my life, that I was caught off guard. I didn't even know how to act.

Crying won't change a thing, I know that I'm aware, I just find my situation….sad.

I look outside the hospital window with a sigh. "What a sad life I'm living…."

Now aside from my problems, there is also my mother who is the only living family that I have, so if I'm gone I don't know what will happen to her, ever since as a child she raised me as a single parent, so I can only imagine how devastated my mother will be if I die.

I know I am thinking negatively, but what exactly can I do? As far as I know, no one has survived cancer, maybe someone did but it needed surgery, and there is a high possibility that I'd die in my operation rather than my illness.

I'm too much of a coward to do that, and if I did have the courage there is no way my mother could have paid for my surgery, it's very expensive, so my only choice is…enjoy life until I can.

"Damn it… " I gritted my teeth out of frustration, who would be frustrated if you had the same situation as me?

A moment later, I let out a big sigh, these days It's not that strange for me to have a mood swing, due to my current mentality, it's the only way that I could do to avoid being mentally broken. I have to release my stress.

Then later I started thinking. If magic and deity were real, my illness would have been possible to get cured, well that is only 'if'.

—

Days passed, my health was noticeably becoming worse and worse, breathing was unusually hard right now, then I looked at my mother at the side, who had a sad smile looking at me.

"Dear, are you hungry? Tell me what you want, I will buy them for you!"

I smiled at my mother's word, fully aware that she's doing this to ease my mind and distract my mind, it's slightly effective, to be honest, it does ease my mind a little bit, not because she told me what I want to eat but because my mother is here with me, by my side.

But truthfully I'm scared right now, very scared. I knew that my days were numbered, I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to punch things just to release my stress but I couldn't because my mother was there. I don't want her to be more worried than she is right now. I can't let her know that her only son is giving up and is now waiting for his days to come.

Even now my mother prays to whatever deity she believed in, she prays that I would get cured, even with sightless hope, not to mock religions but 'miracles'? I never believed them.

Because there wasn't a single miracle that has happened in my life, only bad luck is.

Mother went out of the hospital to buy donuts as I requested of her, it's not the best food in my condition but I have to at least eat something I like before I pass away.

While I was waiting, my smartphone suddenly started to ring, hearing the rings of my phone. At first, I wanted to ignore it because I'm not in the mood to check whatever message was sent to me but on second thought. I didn't have anything to do so I checked my phone and I opened the message.

But what I saw wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I thought it was just a promotion of my sim card, but what I got was an unusual message.

[ Blake Robinson, you are invited to our program 'Group Chat' you have been selected due to our higher-up's random selection, you are in luck not everyone has the opportunity to be invited but you have the right to refuse to join our 'Group Chat' program, we don't want to invite someone unwilling to join after you accept you'll instantly become the 'Administrator' of your own program 'Group Chat' as for starters you'll have 4 members that would 'forcefully' get invited across the multiverse so your choice, for this, would change your life. ]

(A/N: Before you start, no Japanese names this time some people find their names confusing so I decided to have the mc an English name, and no Blake from RWBY, and this Blake is different, he's a male and not a cat faunus.)

Seeing this message, I don't know if I should be amused or get offended, first of all, this is the first time someone messaged pranked me and it's kind of amusing knowing that it's fake, and offended because something like this is actually giving me a bit of hope. Crazy.

As if I'd believe this crap!

At that very moment little did I know it was the biggest decision that I made in my entire life, and my decision? It's fairly obvious.

I was bored and decided to comply with this foolishness. I looked at my phone and saw two opinions.

[YES/ NO]

A normal person would ignore this, a sensible person would pick no and there is me, a weeb who is a believer of bullshittery, so I choose yes.

After I did my smartphone was vibrating like crazy, and to be honest, I was thinking of throwing my smartphone because I'm afraid that It would probably explode, and then I remembered I'm already a dying man so I didn't.

A moment later after my smartphone stopped vibrating, it suddenly did a sci-fi bullshit and a blue screen appeared right in front of me.

My eyes widened like a saucer, I couldn't believe what just happened. I thought 'Am I finally going crazy?'

But before I could continue to question my sanity, words appeared on the screen.

[ Congratulations! You have accepted our offer! You have made a great choice! ]

[ You have become the 'Administrator' of the Group Chat ]

[ As the 'Administrator' we can't have you dying, think of this as a starter gift pack! ]

[ You have received 'Medical Needle With Serum Of Immunity'' ]

[ This will permanently make you immune to any illness or disease, and that includes cancer ]

Then a serum appeared in my right hand. Looking at this serum I froze. I couldn't move my muscles for a full minute before I broke into my stunned state, then my heart was beating so loud that it was the only thing that I could hear right now.

'Is this real? Will this cure my cancer? I'm not dreaming right?' I silently prayed that this wasn't a hallucination or delusion of mine, if what on the screen was saying is true then this could truly be a life-changer for a dying man like him!

Right now, I don't have time to think rationally. With a shaking hand, I slowly injected the serum into my left arm. It hurts a bit, but if this was all true it's worth it.

After Injecting all of the serum into my body, not even a minute later my pale skin started to regain its color, the way I breathe is now normal. I didn't find it hard to breathe anymore!

T-this was…..a miracle…

The word that I used to mock, because it's unbelieve and untrue and like a slap in my face a miracle happened to me, and it was worth it, the universe has proven me wrong, there is truly a 'miracle'

Without realizing it, tears fall from my eyes. It wasn't out of sadness or depression but it was tears of joy and hope. On this very day, I will never forget the day my fate, my destiny, and my life changed because of one simple message.

I cried, and cried for this was a second chance that was given to him.

(End-)

Emotional? I don't think so! :D

I'll write as fast as I can till it would join in the rankings 15k words and then I'll do daily updates at GMT+ 8 = 00:00 which is midnight.

To be honest with you guys, this story is going to be based on how popular is it going to be, if it's not popular then it's just going to be a short story 100k+ words at most if it's popular then I'll try getting at 1M word which is nothing but a dream to the current me, but I'll settle for 300 chapters or more at least.
