Episode 1: The voice

'Dark…so dark… ‘

*Splash*

‘Ah… just now…was that a sound of splash? ‘

‘Feels like I’m drowning in the sea. ‘

‘But I can breathe though? ‘

I opened my eyes and it seems like I’m in… space?!

I landed gently on the glass like mirror reflecting the night sky.

‘Woah… so beautiful! ‘

“Hello”

I heard a voice that seems to belong to a lady.

I looked around, but there was no one.

“Lost soul, would you like to live once more? “

‘Live? Am I dead?! ‘

‘Oh yeah… I died because of the trap…‘

“What’s the use? I had lived once and I think that’s enough. “

“Wait, are you sure you don’t want to live again? “

“Yes, now take me somewhere comfortable to rest. “

“Wow… you’re the first.. “

“First what? “

“ Well usually, lost souls would want to live. Because that’s why they are lost souls for they haven’t done what they want to do yet. “

“Oh, then I am not some lost soul like you said. “

“Yes you are! “

“And how are you so sure about that? “

“Cuz only lost souls appear in this place. “

“But I don’t need anything except for a long slumber. So bye~”

“You can’t leave once you’ve stepped here. “

‘Ugh! This voice is getting on my nerves! ‘

I was about to leave when the voice spoke again.

“What if, I give you 5 wishes? Anything you want! “

I stopped for a second and continued walking to who knows where my feet would take me.

“Wait, wait! I’ll give you 10 wishes! That’s the highest wish I could give! Just please say yes!"

*stops*

“10 wishes? That’s all you can give? Tsk! Useless. “

‘I don’t believe this talking invisible ghost can only give me 10 wishes. Besides, this ghost seems to be desperate about this. Then, why not squeeze her a little more~’

After few minutes, the voice finally give up and gave me 20 wishes.

“Sob… I am not a genie..! Why are you doing this to me?!”

“Alright, what do you want from me in exchange for the 20 wishes? “

“I want you to just live freely the way you want it. “

‘How could this voice be so kind? ‘

‘Oh well, as long as it benefits me. ‘

“Alright, go on and let me live once again. “

“Great! You can call me anytime just say the name Syria in your mind then I’ll come immediately. “

“Alright… “

Then the glass I’m stepping on cracked and broke into pieces and the I fell into the dark hole.

I woke up by the very loud knocking sound.

I sat up to see a wooden old ceiling, walls, and floor.

There was an old tall cabinet and small table and chair facing the only window in the room.

‘Good thing though that it’s clean than dusty like a basement.’

*Bam Bam*

‘Tsk! Who the hell is knocking so rudely?! '

I walked towards the door and opened it to see who the hell is knocking.

“Who is it?! “

It was a woman around 50’s in a dark blue dress, hair tied in a bun and a face that looks like a witch in a fairytale. Her expression was… fuming… heh funny!

??? : “Who is it you say?! Why are you not up yet?! Do you think you’re still a princess? Stop day dreaming! Everyone's busy today because there’s a guest that will come! So hurry your *** up! “

Then the old witch went away while mumbling some curses.

‘I knew it! That voice tricked me! ‘

Flashback:

“You can wish for anything except the person you will transmigrate into. “

“Transmigration? I'll transmigrate? I thought I will have to reincarnate? “

“Well I don’t think you want to reincarnate into a baby that can’t walk am I right? “

“Hmmm… true.”

“Good! “

‘Why do feel like I will experience something troublesome from now on? ‘

End of Flashback

‘Sigh… things really will be troublesome starting from now on. ‘
