Chapter 5 Sleep

Rean couldn't help but ask, though.

"How do you even know that? I could have had

hundreds of girlfriends, you know?"

Death laughed out loud.

"I have the full information of every single Soul

I need to collect. I know more about you than

your own parents. Not that it makes me happy,

of course."

Death continued.

"Rean Farlan, extremely boring life, never

denied anything, never wished anything, a

living doll through and through. Average

marks, average job, nothing to be proud of.

Simply tedious.."

It was then that Death noticed a problem.

"Wait. How come someone like you suddenly

felt the urge to live? Even if you were able to

miraculously think and speak in your Soul

Form, you were supposed to let me kick your

*** inside the Reincarnation Path without

complaining."

Rean really wanted to beat this guy up.

"Said the

guy that clung on my leg even

though he kept asking me to let him go."

Death didn't mind his actions at all, though. It

was thanks to that that he didn't lose his

memories.

"Hmph!"

Still, Rean answered his question.

"To be honest, I don't know. You were right

about that point. I never wished anything, nor

did I ever refuse anything. I simply never

cared anything at all. No doubt, a living doll

was indeed the perfect way to describe the old

me. But just a few moments before dying, I felt

like my Soul awakened. Out of nowhere, I

simply didn't want to die anymore. I felt like

until that point, I had never really lived before."

"How can I say it? It will look weird, but I don't

think it was because I was dying. It was more

like I had broken out of a shell that locked me

during my entire life. The accident was just the

harmer that got me free from that.

Unfortunately, I still died. As for the rest of the

story, you already know."

Death pondered a bit and then said.

"Perhaps, you were not supposed to be like

that. But that thing inside of your Soul had

been preventing you from generating desires."

Rean agreed with Death.

"Ever since you noticed this thing inside my

Soul, I thought it really had something to do

with it."

However, let alone Rean, even Death hadn't

the most remote idea about what that white

and dark light could be.

But it was then that Death remembered one

thing

"Oh well, whatever. Enjoy your new life, I'will

be taking my leave."

Rean was taken aback. They are both inside

the womb, can a baby forcefully go out just

like that? First of all, would it be a good idea to

go out now?

Death, of course, understood what Rean was

thinking. But that has nothing to do with him.

As long as he uses his connection to the

Underworld, he can immediately pull his Soul

inside. As for the baby's body? It will simply

turn into an empty Shell.

Death concentrated and tried to feel the world

around him. But it was then that he noticed

something different.

"What kind of energy is this?"

Rean didn't know what he was talking about,

though.

As for Death, he quickly threw those thoughts

away.

"Doesn't matter, I will check later."

He once again concentrated until finally, he

was able to establish contact with the

Underworld... not! Death started to feel a chill

on his back instead.

"It's... not there!!!"

Rean heard that and asked.

"What? Can you see anything?"

They are inside the womb, so how could there

be any light?

Death completely ignored Rean, though.

He kept looking for that connection between

the living world and the Underworld. But it

didn't matter how much he looked for that, he

couldn't feel anything!

"Impossible! There is no place in the entire

Universe that is not connected to the

Underworld. How come I can't feel the link? Is

it because I reincarnated? No! As long as I have

my memories, even if I were to reincarnate asa mosquito, I should still be able to feel the

connection. What is happening here?"

It was evident that Death was shocked at the

moment. After all, Rean heard all his thoughts

even though Death wasn't trying to talk to

him.

'It seems like that if I don't pay attention, I will

leak my thoughts to him as well. I better be

careful:

Still, he decided to ask.

"Can

you

at least tell me what this connection

you are talking about is?"

Death was taken aback and noticed that his

thoughts were being transmitted to Rean.

"Whatever. The entire Universe is supposed to

be connected to the Underworld. That is also

the place where you can find the Path of

Reincarnation. As long as we are inside the

Universe, this connection has to be there. But I

can't feel anything, and that is the strange

part."

Rean then asked.

"Does it mean that we are not inside a

Universe."

Death immediately rejected that idea.

"If we were not inside a Universe, there would

be no underworld to start with. Since we

Reincarnated, we are obviously inside one."

Of course, Death couldn't feel that connection

because he wasn't in the same Universe

anymore. The main reason he could even feel

that connection if because his own existence

was connected to the previous Universe

Underworld. But in this Universe, he has

absolutely nothing to do with it. Obviously, he

can't feel anything.

As expected, be it Death or Rean, neither of

them took long to reach this conclusion.

Also, there is a reason why they knew that this

isn't the same Universe anymore. That is

because Death can feel the presence of

Spiritual Energy!

Of course, Death doesn't know how this

energy is called to start with. But he is

absolutely sure that it doesn't exist in the

previous Universe. Since that is that case, they

can't possibly be in the same place anymore.

"Is there anything special about this energy?"

Death could only reply.

"I don't know. At least, it doesn't seem

harmful."

Rean pondered a bit and then said.

"It seems like we don't have another choice,

We will need to wait to be born before we can

investigate any further. But... just how old are

our bodies? No, first of all, are we even

humans? If yes, do the humans in this place

gestate for only 9 months to start with?"

Death didn't know it either.

"What's the point to think about that? It is not

like we can count time anyway. I will sleep.

Wake me up when the labor time starts."

Rean was taken aback.

"Can you sleep this long?!"

Unfortunately, there was no answer. Death

was sleeping already. Strangely enough, Rean

knew that Death wasn't pretending. For some

reason, the connection between their Souls

told him that Death was sleeping for real!

"How could he leave me behind?"

Poor Rean doesn't have Death's experience, so

he couldn't simply sleep anytime he wanted.

Because of that, he passed his next months as

bored as a bored person could be. It didn't

matter how many times he called Death, the

other side simply didn't wake up at all, which made him even madder. After all, if he could at

least talk to someone, that would help a lot.

"Hmph! Who will wake you up? Since you left

me here, I hope you will sleep for all eternity!"
