Deranged Writer's Afterword

....

Looking at the man in the mirror, I instinctively knew that it was me but I found my current state a little....strange.

The boy in the mirror looked like a broken shell, he looked malnourished....his body looked as if the wind could carry it away. Moreover....the boy had a effeminate face...,

With his long black hair, red eyes that sparkled like rubies and soft features that complimented his face...it wouldn't be that surprising if people mistaked the boy for a girl.

.........

What the fuck happened to all my muscles ?

I touch my face, which was soft and smooth now....

I look out the window of the room.

Lecia and the others had gone to freshen up since they had stayed with me all through the three days I was down. Before they went, they called a doctor into the room and the doctor checks up on me.

None of the doctors had a clue as to why my body....had transformed like it did.

After the initial shock subsided, I've come to like this new me...I like being pretty.

Even though my body looked like a twig, I felt strong just like before.

Before coming to any conclusions, I need to test if I still have my strength...but I think I still do have strength.

Several theories for the reason for my body's drastic change,

The first thought that I had was that Belial had cursed me for impersonating him but that didn't make much sense. The second and more probable theory was that the Enchantress did something to me...I don't remember meeting her but...'0' could have done something.

It took some time for me to realize that all my theories were false.

My current condition was due to one of my ne-

" Meow."

"Meow"

The meowing of the baby panthers halted my thought process.

They had gotten up as soon as I had got up from the bed.

I observe the two cute little baby panthers that slowly made their way towards me, have they imprinted on me or something?....

The both of them had shiny black fur and emerald eyes just like their mother.

As I take both the panthers and place them on my lap, a thought suddenly strikes my mind.

'I need to find an excuse.', I thought nervous.

That's right...I need to find an excuse for the panthers...the skills and any other loose ends.

One of the panthers kept trying to climb my body, I force it back on my lap and think of a good and believable lie.

I slowly walk up the stairs of the hospital.

My destination was the rooftop, I wanted to clear my head.

As I open the door to the rooftop, I'm surprised to see Katherine.

She was looking at the clear sky with a blank expression on her face, she turns around when she hears my footsteps.

" Adam ?!", she says surprised to see me up and about.

I walk up and stand beside her,

" Well...that is my name.", I say looking at the clear blue sky.

There's something calming about watching the clear sky.

" You should have stayed in bed.", she says frowning ever-so slightly.

" Hmmmmm.", I say, my gaze still fixed on Katherine.

" Didn't you go with the others to freshen up ?", I ask Katherine

" No."

That's all she says, we stare at the sky for a long time.

" Are you a bad person ?", Katherine asks me out of nowhere.

........

Where did that come from ?

I look at her to find her still looking at the sky with a slightly bitter expression on her face.

I think for a minute and say,

" I've done a lot of bad things..."

Katherine turns her head towards me and looks into my eyes searching for something that I didn't have but to appease her I continue on,

" But I'm trying to be better..."

Katherine looked a little surprised to hear my words....

" That's good then...", Katherine says going back to gaze at the sky.

But I had decided on this a long time ago, this wasn't just my second life....it was also my second chance and I don't want to be a little shit like I was in my last life.

After killing all the angels.....I had my whole life ahead of me.

One thing I'm sure of is that, I don't want to stay a hero. Saving people wasn't my thing....it's a little embarrassing but I do have another dream that I kept in the backburner in my last life.

I wanted to own my own bookstore and enjoy a quiet life while leeching off Lecia's money cause let's be honest...nobody visits bookstores anymore.

" I'm sorry...", Katherine breaks the silence once again, surprising me.

"For what ?". I ask confused.

Katherine seemed to be struggling to say something.

" Is it about your grandfather making you spy on me ?"

Hearing me, Katherine's mouth hangs open in shock and she says,

" Y-you k-knew ?"

Of course, I knew.

I was obviously cautious of Eustace Colleen since of his temperament and to tell the truth it was pretty obvious from the beginning.

All my friends except the two of us somehow got sick out of nowhere and seeing how eager Eustace was to pair the both of us together....I mean c'mon...

I might have been born with F- intelligence but even I am not that dumb.
