I was rooted to the spot when I heard his words. Was I really a fool all this time? Getting confused by something so common?
I shook my head and looked at the man before me, who again turned around and was lost in some thoughts. I stood quietly while my gaze was fixed on him for some time before my eyes scanned the surrounding forest.
I arched my brows when I saw the forest. Isn't this the same forest I saw in those memories?
My eyes were drawn back to that man again, who was still looking lost. But suddenly, I heard his voice in my mind.
"You are right, this is the same forest,"
My brows furrowed as I looked at him.
"Out of all the places, why did you choose this place?"
He turned around to look at me before his eyes observed the forest before he said, "You should have seen this forest in this memory, right?"
I nodded when I heard his question.
"Many of my memories are related to this place. You know, this is the place where I hunted that monstrous animal for the first time. But do you know that I met Arin nearby in this forest?" As he finished, he turned to look at me.
"Arin?" My brows furrowed when I heard that name. I felt that somewhere I had heard that name.
"The girl I saved in the forest. You know, she was the reason I kept my sanity. He was the one who filled my lonely life." But as soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about something."
I was surprised by the fact that this place is related to that girl. When he was saved by getting molested, my gaze was drawn to that man, who stood in the distance with his eyes closed.
To be honest, it feels very weird to see someone who looks like me, and what's weirder is that he is supposed to be my reincarnated self, or I am a reincarnation of this man. If it was before, when I was still on earth, I would have thrashed this theory of reincarnation. But after suffering so much in this place. My views have changed a lot.
But suddenly, the man in front of me shook his head. "You don't have to bother about that. Anyway, you must be thinking that why did I meet you in this place, right?"
I was surprised for a moment before I nodded my head, "Yes, it is,"
The man nodded and observed me again. and nodded his head and sighed. "Ramos did a good job. But he doesn't know about others,"
Now I am really feeling weird about this man. Why is he blabbering to himself? I coughed lightly. "What are you talking about? Who is Ramos?"
But the man shook his head. "You will know it in the future, but not now. Anyway, I will tell you a story,"
"Story?" I mumbled as I looked at that man.
He nodded his head. "Yes, a story. A story related to you and me,"
'What is he talking about?'
The man turned around to look at the distance as he started speaking.
"You know this place is also known as Earth, just like the place you were born in. But do you realize that it just used to be a normal place with no one having powers? People were normal, animals were just animals,"
"Yes, I know," I replied while my eyes were fixed on him.
He had a surprised expression when he turned around to look at me, but then he nodded, "Oh, right! That girl has told you. But anyway, I will continue the story,"
I nodded when I heard him. I should know more about him as it is related to me as well.
"But everything changed one day. There was a sudden development that many people started manifesting powers. No one knew why this sudden change occurred but people accepted the change and from that day, a new history was started."
He stopped and looked at me for a moment before he continued, "You know, the way of living of the people changed from that day. People manifested some power based on any element and started using many abilities." But he stopped midway, "You know all these terms right?"
I was surprised by his question but still nodded. "Go on, continue,"
He nodded, "Fine. From that day onwards, everything changed after gaining the powers. Those who held power became the Lords of the places. The notion of the kingdom was destroyed. Now the areas were being ruled by the Power Holders and the noble families who had many power holders."
He stopped and sighed as he closed his eyes. "You know, not everyone was the power user. And those common people started worshipping the people with Powers. Just like that, the new era began. But not everything was great when people manifested powers. Many people manifested dark powers which they used against humanity or you can say, everyone. They formed a righteous force to fight against these people and they eradicated everyone having the dark powers."
A sigh escaped his lips again as a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. "And it was after that war that I was born. Everyone was glad to learn that I was a natural prodigy, but no one knew what my power was. During the time I was born, there were already some changes. Mutants started appearing who held Dual Powers. The family I was conceived in had three such power holders. And for me," a mocking laugh escaped his lips, "And for me, no one knew what my power was. Hell, even I didn't know what my power was. Born in a family who are all power users, they started calling me a waste. No one in that family supported me. Even my father didn't care for me the way my mother did. She was the only one who cared for me but not for long."
My gaze was fixed on him when I saw him taking a deep breath. I was surprised when I saw his action. He didn't seem to be a living being while he was acting like one. Even so, I did not let it show on my face and continued staring at him. After a while, he said, "Don't think of unnecessary things and listen to me." He stopped and looked at me amusedly. At first, his words surprised me, but then I realized he was supposed to be God and knew everything. But I stopped thinking when I saw that his face turned strange as he looked at me.
I coughed slightly "Please Continue,"
He nodded slightly and said, "Then one day I got to know my Power. I could revive the dead. It seems like dark power, right? Well, everyone thought the same when they got to know about my powers. You know what, many of the people in my family even suggested killing me to erase the shame that has been born in that family. After my mother pleaded with everyone, they abandoned and expel me from the family and all this happened when I was just a kid,"
A mocking laugh escaped his lips. "Heard that? They expelled me and left me on the road when I was just a kid. When they expelled me, even my mother died of grief. Anyway, those bastards wanted nothing associated with the dark power. From that day onwards, my struggle started. I struggled every day in this dog-eat-dog world. Innocence was not an option for me because every day was a struggle to survive. I ate the thrown-away food on the street till the day I got to know that I had awakened another Power." He paused again and went silent for a while, then he continued.
As a child, I spent a lot of time on the streets, but when I realized that I had awakened another power, I moved out. During my childhood, I had seen such an ugly side of humanity that my hope for them was all lost." He again paused and looked at me and said, "You know my other power, right?"
My brows furrowed, but I replied, "Lightning,"
He nodded when he heard me, "Yes, that's correct, it was lightning. And from that day on, my life changed. Instead of existing like a parasite who depends on others to get food, I fought for it. I moved out of that place and started living my life as a vagabond, who always walked on the thin line between life and death. But whatever it may be, after living my life like that, I got to know more about the powers,"
He looked at me and said, "The girl had already explained to you. The concept of power. That is the understanding of the power in your body. After fighting daily for my life, I got to understand more about my powers and I grew stronger. But all came with a cost."
Again a mocking laugh escaped his lips. "There was no one for me in this world. I was all alone. Alone in this jungle, until the day I met her,"
