My name's Isiah Light. You could also call me the hero as it was the name that everyone called me every time they saw me. Just don't call me that in front of me or you'll regret it.
Well, my stressful and hateful life started when I was young. The moment I showed my talent to the world unknowingly as a child and having my potential tested. Grade 9 Magic Talent and Golden Physique.
My magical potential became the highest level of talent as the highest talent that was known before was only grade 8. And the growth potential of my physique was the highest possible level of growth a human could have.
Some called me the hero that God sent. The saviour. Some called me as the one that is fated to bring destruction. Some called me as the one who would bring peace upon the world.
It continued for a decade until I finally fought the one that is feared by the humans. My fated enemy, as one may call it. The King of the invading forces that was trying to cause destruction upon the earth. The lord of the Giants and Demons.
Astar. The planet devourer. The one who conquered several planets and became one of the dominating figures of the galaxy. Nothing much is known about him. But he's considered as the greatest enemy the humankind had to defeat to ensure their survival and avoid extinction.
That's why they raised me. To defeat the devil. And that's the reason I was overwhelmed with expectations coming from millions of people. If I had to be honest, then it was a shitty feeling. The pressure that I felt when I was a teen. The training that I had to go through. The suffering of the weak and poor being directed to me as if it was my fault of their suffering. My inability to save the humans that was killed in the war. The higher ups and the all sort of organizations trying to take advantage of me and control me like a dog. The threats when I was young that caused me countless sleepless nights.
The reasoning that the people made 'Isiah defeating the greatest enemy' was bullshit. All they wanted was to take advantage of my weak mentality when I was young. Unfortunately, I only realized all of this when I was on the brink of death.
Astar and I fought for countless hours until the fight ended with a draw. Kind of disappointing but the devil was just too overwhelmingly strong. Our fight took place in the planet that he lives in. As if earth could handle our powerful energies. If we fought on earth, then without a doubt, we could have destroyed tens of cities. Fortunately, I decided to attack him when he was at his domain.
And yeah, I died. And I only saw darkness when I finally regained my ability to see.
"So...this is the afterlife people kept talking about? What happened to the idea that the afterlife looked wonderful and fantastic? Its just pure darkness." I said in a low voice.
Then, I decided to walk. I don't know what happened but some attracting force pulled me like a magnet. Slowly but surely, I lost my senses, and I wasn't able to notice this. I don't know how much time has passed. It felt like I'm walking at an infinite void or like I'm just walking in circles. Years passed, I guess? I don't know. I just regained my senses and my first thought was "What am I doing?".
Surprisingly, I did not feel tired at all. Maybe because I'm a spirit right now? Or a consciousness? I don't know, and I don't care.
After a while, I saw a little bit of light just not too far away from me. Of course I walked towards it. I felt excited. Who wouldn't be? After a long time of only seeing darkness to every direction you looked at, it would be quite hard to control your excitement if you were in my position.
I calmed myself before walking towards the light. After approaching it, I carefully looked at it. It looked like a sphere of light when I looked at it closely. Some light colorful particles are circling it closely, all of it had difference in lengths. Some are longer, some are too short to even notice it. And also, the sphere of light is floating and moving up and down smoothly.
I decided to touch it after carefully thinking of what should I do with it. The moment I touched it, I felt a smooth and comfortable sensation that would put anyone in a frenzy due to the incredible feeling that you could feel. After that, I lost consciousness. And what followed after was extremely shocking as it gave me great amount of confusion.
And that was because I reincarnated.
