Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 2: You're me and i am you

Year-2020, Earth - India

Suddenly a young man woke up jumping up from his bed, whilst being drenched by sweat.

"Ah, looks like I got a nightmare ."

While the young man was washing his face in front of a mirror suddenly a message popped up in the air.

[shift successful]

After glancing at the message that popped up on air Nix rubbed and blinked his eyes a few times and soon The message disappeared. Nix washed his face again.

'Maybe just an illusion?'

[I know what you're thinking but, I can assure you that you're not hallucinating now.]

'what?'

Nix gulped as he heard a voice inside his head.

[Yep you are not imagining things you can hear me.]

'What???'

[First of all, I will explain things clearly to you later. Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am you or your past distant future. You can call me Dark Nix. Yo, I think it sounds cool. What do you think? Because I thought it would differentiate us as we have the same name.]

'what? I don't understand anything???.' He thought with question marks top his head.

[Yo airhead you will, Soon at the end of the day. you have a long way to go now.]

'But you are me? What the fuck is going on here?'

[yep! If you don't believe me stand before a mirror]

'Why should I?'

[Shh! Just shut the fuck and move towards mirror buddy!]

'Huh? firstly what the hell is this? Am I losing my mind or something?'

[No, buddy I will convince you just stand before the mirror for fuck sake!]

'I don't believe this... '

Nix walked in his opposite direction and stood before a mirror. A message popped up on air.

[Private ability: Truth eye activated.]

When he stood opposite to the mirror. He saw a man in the reflection of the mirror. He resembled a warrior straight out of a fantasy world wearing armor and gauntlets and seemed Tall and muscular his hair color was white with a trimmed and well-groomed black beard his face matched exactly like his own but was mature. The man's age seemed to be between 21-25.

But when he looked at his image with the appearance he had in the mirror there was quite a lot of difference between the image on the mirror and him. As Nix currently looked short as he was around the height of 170cm opposing to his image on the mirror and he was lean and his hair color was partial black and partial white mixed since he got vitamin deficiency due to that he had partial white hair but, the most common hair color in India is black.

The man in the mirror smiled at him.

[Do you believe me now?]

'No, This feels strange for me we have a lot of differences in our appearance. Why should I believe you? am I hallucinating???'

[well, you will get to know soon.]

'Get to know soon?'

The image faded away in an instant He rubbed his eyes a few times unable to comprehend and understand things.

'Damn! I must be hallucinating for sure!'

he washed his face and tried to refresh his mind.

"It's time for me to go to college now." He mumbled inwardly.

He didn't hear the voice of Dark Nix again after that, so Nix left it at that.

He started dressing ready for college after Picking up the mobile phone, he left his home. He descended the stairs and walked out of his home. His home Located near the slum or you can say it was located in the slum some people were under a shady bridge playing cards on platforms of the street.

The area was overpopulated as people roamed here and there doing their own business. while shops around the area were bustling with the crowd. He toured crossing the streets. After a march of ten minutes, he arrived at the railway station. He picked up his mobile phone and called a contact number.

"Where are you right now?"

"I am on the train right now. The train will arrive at the lighthouse railway station within three minutes when I get there. I'll call you."

"okay"

After waiting for a minute, the train arrived at the station where Nix was. He got a call again and a guy who was standing near the compartment waved his hand at him. Nix got into the compartment where the guy waved his hands. The guy looked perfectly fit and tall and he possessed well-groomed black hair. He appeared to be quite handsome.

Nix questioned.

"It looks like we got late huh?"

"yes But, Maybe we could get there on time. who knows? we might get 5 to 10 mins as spare time If the train arrives there on time."

"Nagendra I think we will be late for the first hour."

"I think we will be on time there."

"maybe, I feel too bored right now, Okay let's talk about the regular shit."

And added

"What do you think of this current boring cyclic life where we have to live a middle-class life. Where you can't get satisfied with things you have now and can't live in a way you desire for and we can't buy things we want due to the financial burden."

" haha, well Nix these things will always be the same even if you travel to a different world like things we read in isekai mangas, novels, manhwas...Blah blah blah."

"Why do you think so?"

"because hierarchy is needed to maintain balance."

"well, who cares? fuck your hierarchy shit. "

"hah,"

Nagendra sighed.

As they were speaking, Nix heard a voice inside his head.

[Bud be careful with him. He was the actual Protagonist in my timeline. I was just a Random dude there lol.]

'What the fuck???? so, It was true! are you real?'

To his confusion, he didn't get an answer from Dark Nix.

After forty minutes they both arrived at the railway station; their college was within a walkable distance of three minutes, so they arrived at their college on time. Nix and Nagendra entered inside campus walking through a three-meter tall gate and many students were walking into the campus as they both did. Nix checked the time on his wristwatch.

'Looks like we are on time'

Nagendra smiled at him.

"Nix as I said we are on time."

As they were both talking he heard a female voice from his back. As he was about to enter.

"Hi Nix"

When he turned his head a beautiful young woman entered his view. She looked at him with a smile on her face. She had Long black hair long enough to touch her waist. Her eyes were brown in color and her height was probably pretty average. Her body was slender in shape, her breasts were tender inappropriate volume matching her body.

"Hi Vinishia"

"Why aren't you texting me recently?"

"ahh, I thought you were...."

Noticing Nix's uncomfortableness Nagendre interjected their conversation. 

"Nix we got late already so come soon."

"Vinishia I will talk to you later looks like I got late for my class see you," Nix said and left her in a hurry. 

After getting towards class Nix started talking with a smile.

"You are a True lifesaver bro."

"I know about her so don't mention it."

"Thank you"

And after that they got into their class they got to their respective desks Nagendra looked like a popular guy as he entered he started talking with his classmates.

On the other hand, Nix got to his desk quietly in his regular seat near the window. He gazed out of the window feeling the gentle breeze while hearing the rustle of the trees waiting for his class to get started. They both travel together because both of their homes were closer to each other and since they were both classmates. After waiting for 5 minutes, their classes began.

After all the classes ended, both Nagendra and Nix walked out of their class and got off the building they were in. and began to walk towards their college's exit.

"Man today was sure fucking boring..." Nix said.

"Can't disagree man! The professors just made me fall asleep."

"Dammit, I need to go for my job lets speed up our pace"

As he said that and stepped out of the gate a train horn resounded so they both began rushing towards the railway station. Even though they were quite delayed to arrive there. They somehow managed to board on the last compartment of the train.

Nagendra stared at Nix and started talking.

"Hah~Hah We are fortunate. I thought we would probably miss it."

Nix just nodded his head in agreement with his statement.

"Agreed"

The first five minutes of their journey were peaceful there wasn't any disturbance everybody on the train was minding their own business.

"I need to go for my job, Well, I just don't want to get scolded by the shit head manager..." As he mumbled inwardly their Compartment suddenly started fluctuating wildly.

"Ssshhhhhhikkkk"

With a loud sound, the compartment they were in got detached from their train.

"What the fuck is happening?"

Both Nix and Nagendra muttered in unison while looking at each other in a stupor.

It was then,

A bright blinding light pierced and came through window panes inside the compartment. The light was so bright that couldn't expose their eyes.

After a while, they opened their eyes only to witness the destruction. The compartment started making the passengers feel like they are falling from the bridge. It began rolling simultaneously and fell.

The people inside the compartment screamed to the top of their lungs. It rolled a few times and stopped.

When Nix opened his eyes the people who were screaming in agony entered his vision. They were severely injured because of the accident some cried in pain while some passengers reclined unconscious and some died. Nix received various cuts and bruises due to the mishap.

"Argh! Fuck me!"

He groaned in pain.

He tried to get out of the compartment window with the help of Nagendra. Nagendra had few bruises on his body too.

Both of them cried out in pain as they struggled to make their way out of the compartment. When they both crawled out of the window, they could not believe what was before their eyes. They were teleported to a dense forest covering the sky with its tall trees. The rays of sunlight fell through the gaps between the branches inside the forest.

It was then Dark Nix opened his mouth.

[Ah shit here we go again.]
