The reason for refusingWith a clap, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ restored the platform to its original state, he also changed his appearance to first boy he saw. Facing the youngster, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ seriously asked: “Tell me, why did you refuse?”
Why did I choose to refuse?
Towards this question, the youngster feel is not worth the effort, so he asked in another way. “I should be the one asking, why did you, G.o.d, choose me?”
‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ with a helpless expression said: “What do you mean?”
With both hands across his chest, the youngster let out a sigh and with a slightly sarcastic tone said: “Actually, I have a question in mind, if you also know that I have read many novels online, what I do not understand is, why the so-called G.o.d, is always looking for a scoundrel! A rogue! A pervert, a useless person, or the embodiment of a weak-willed person kind…”
Gla.s.ses Panda looked like he wanted to laugh, but he said nothing and continued to listen to the boy’s complaints.
“If I had to guess correctly from the words I have just said, then I would need to prepare to go to another world. But in the world there are so many excellent talents, why did you choose me?”
Trying to suppress his laughter, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ waved his hands and said: “Well said! First, let me tell you a little about me, and also I haven’t chosen you especially!” Placing emphasis on each word, Panda said: “To be honest with you, the first time I contacted you was through the internet, but that was what all of you, the humanity like to call, fate, luck! And second, why do you despise yourself like that?”
The youngster shrugged his shoulders and said: “Look at me, I’m only a otaku, I have no desire to achieve anything, I’m only wanting to die!”
In disagree, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ patted the youngster’s shoulder: “Is not a sudden impulse wanting to send you to another world, I have observed you for a full three years. I’m fully aware of your ability. You don’t need to hide anything from me, don’t forget but I’m ‘G.o.d’. As long as I’m willing, I can easily see through the past of every person. That’s why I can see clearly everything that happened in your past life.”
My life. After hearing talking ‘Panda’, the youngster tried to recall his own past life, but he suddenly discovered that apart of his death, his mind is fuzzy and no matter how much he tries, he isn’t able to remember his last moments.
Looking at the youngster who had a troubled look, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ stretched his hand and gently touched the youngster’s forehead: “Every man will die, the memories you once had, are like a flood, and will be soon forgotten. This is what the humanity call, the so-called reincarnation and the like… Of course, occasionally there are those with more determination, those are able to retain some fragments of their memories.” A faint light blue was sent from Gla.s.ses Panda’s finger: “Let me help you recalling again!”
In an instant, the youngster seemed like he was in a storm of memories,
Countless images from the depths of his mind came rolling…
He was born, that right! The youngster remembered everything. He was born in a wealthy family, his father had the strength of a local CEOs, and his mother was the university’s vice princ.i.p.al! From childhood, with his cleverness, the youngster won adoration of his parents and elders. Even though his father, being one of the CEOs, makes him being busy, he still took time to come home. From the beginning, his family was always peaceful and blessed.
His cheerful childhood only lasted until his ninth birthday.That day his father was looking at the stock market while sat at his desk, perhaps because he was absorbed with it, he didn’t realize his son was also staring the stock market for a long time. After he regained his composure, he found out that his son was staring at the stock chart through the computer screen with a curious look. When his son inquired about what he was doing, he smiled and patted his son on the head, and told him that was a stock, thinking that his son didn’t understand what was that. However, it was unexpected when his son told him he knew what the stock was, but also saying in a loud voice that he made millions of dollars! Surprised, he asked from where he could know about the stock market but his answer made him laugh to the point where his stomach started to hurt!
Of course! There was a big difference between the stock market and Monopoly 4, its was not simple as only sell high and buy low. Maybe it was a momentary impulse, but he sat his son in front of him and jokingly told him to buy a stock market’s share. Seeing at his son staring blankly to the screen filled with numbers and trend charts, his father who was laughing explained him some common knowledge about the stock market! But something unexpected happened, he thought his explanation was quite boring but his son was hearing him with great interest. In the end his father extracted money from his account and bought the share his son chose…
Sometimes a small choice in life can lead to an enormous change in your destiny! Compared with the game, the young boy gained more interest towards the stocks because it was even more interesting and complex, perhaps even more because lady luck was smiling at him! Three months later, the nine years old boy made his first fortune, After the transaction cost and the tax only were left 30.000 dollars.
Towards the boy’s family, 30.000 dollars didn’t count as a lot of money. maybe more like a little surprise from the sky. His parents brought a generous dinner and gifted many things to his son as a congratulation for his small fortune, it was only that at that time the youngster didn’t know the worth of 30.000 dollars.
When the young boy asked again if I could buy another stock, his father agreed. Perhaps his father though that it was better for his son to be exposed with the stock on the computer, which was similar to a data a.n.a.lyst, developing his son’s thinking ability and computer power than playing computer games all day. The father took out the money earned from his son as capital to buy again a stock for his son and one more time he selected the stock his son chose. This time, it took a bit longer to teach his son the details about the stock market.
And this time! A ten years old boy earned 70,000 dollars!
The father can’t help but being very surprised, surprised at his own son for having more insight and patience than him, his father. Even when the stock was having a large fall he refused to sell to have a profit but at the next moment it rose again! As a father he decided to to let him decide for himself and not act as a guide, later on he gave everything to his 10 year old son to operate… From now on, stocks losses and profits coexist, the youngster have stepped into a path different from people of his age. When children of the same year go to home they open the computer and watch animated cartoon of play different types of computer games, but not him, he was only concerned about the countless and complicated data and trend charts.
Because the company stated to expand, his father started to be more busy, it was not possible get home on time and having dinner with his family. Even towards his own son, it was not possible to pay him more attention. The only thing that rea.s.sured him was his son’s results, they have always been very satisfying. Of course, he occasionally hear his wife complaining that his son was always in his room and was unwilling to go out…
The young boy’s quiet life lasted until he was 14 years old, everything was over…
430 million dollars! To an average person would be a huge fortune! Entering a first-cla.s.s university, a first-cla.s.s company, it was a large sum of money they will not earn even with working hard throughout their entire life. But now it was in the hands of a fourteen years old boy! For his company to be where it is now, the father’s boy started from scratch working hard for half of his life, but his son only by sitting at home, hitting a few b.u.t.tons on the keyboard gained more than him. For him, as a father, what his son did, it was slowly negating all his beliefs…
Starting from this day, their father and son relationship began to deteriorate. The youngster did not understand why he was angry and the father didn’t want to be with the one who denied his beliefs, finally, the youngster had for the first time, his first big fight with his father, resulting in him to leave home. Although he was only a 15 year old child but in his many years fighting in the financial circle, his line of thinking was not less of an adult. The youngster only needed a computer that can connect to the internet and he can get everything he need. With money he asked a person to forge the id of his parents, from the internet he bought real estate and furniture, the youngster was ready to build his “own” kingdom. But this was not his dream, what he holds in his hands is a great fortune and in today’s society as long as you have the money you can buy everything you want.
The school was not anymore a place of worship, because one day after his big fight with his father, when he went to the school absent-minded he was scolded by his teacher. Originally his mood was not good, so with much disdain in front of the whole cla.s.s he started to calculate what his teacher can earn through his entire life.
“Your hard-earned money is not much better than a fraction of what I earn!”
When the youngster said those words coldly in front of the whole cla.s.s to his teacher, the whole cla.s.s was surprised and his teacher who was grinning from ear to ear walked out from the cla.s.sroom! Perhaps the youngster didn’t know when he found that he started to like using money to measure a person’s life.
Spend! Profit! Spend! And profit! The youngster repeated the same action mechanically as if he was an alien living in the world. With an intelligent brain and outstanding insight and not because he used the money wastefully and stupidly! The youngster continued to acc.u.mulate wealth in his ‘own’ kingdom. He resembled a genuine king, following his heart’s desire. When people tell him that money is not omnipotent, with despise he tells them that not having money is unacceptable!
Not having money is an absolute no, but indeed, sometimes is not omnipotent… At least it cannot buy genuine affection, it’s like a pretty girl around you. The youngster understands them very well, if you don’t flatter and give them what they want, then it’s quite clear they will abandon you fast. With no family to accompany him, even at night, having this lovely and charming body, sometimes the youngster feels cold… At last, after two years of being alone the youngster came to know family love…
Hereditary leukemia from his grandfather’s! Having fallen to the ground, he was sent to the hospital. Eventually after being sent to the hospital for first time, his parents came, at the end, all that family love didn’t vanished into the air… The youngster returned home and felt the warmth of his loved ones, but it was too late. Even if the modern medical treatment was continually progressing, against ‘leukemia’ the success treatment was not one hundred percent effective. The chemotherapy and his illness were intertwined for two years. The youngster had to leave the world with regret at the age of 19…
This is! The youngster was fiercely awakened from dreamland and saw that nothing has changed. He still was in that wide white platform.
‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ patted the youngster’s head and said: “Have you remembered everything?”
The youngster nodded slowly and said: “I… I remember! It’s only that… I…”
“Is only that, what?” Looking at the youngster that was still in stupefaction, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ opened both arms and said loudly: “A 19 year old boy dying at home who can earn billions of dollars is quite difficult to find in your world.”
“But it’s also true that I’m an otaku!” The youngster thinking otherwise said.
“Indeed! You spend 70% of your life inside of your room, saying that you are an otaku is also right.”
“That’s why I chose to refuse. I don’t want to go inside of a novel and being a member of a big army.”
‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ was very lost after listening me and said: “You used to talk to me saying that if you were to pa.s.s through, how would you do it, and not only that, you also vowed that you were also absolutely more capable and can do better than those characters of the novels, right? Now that you have the opportunity, you don’t want to.”
“Please! That was just empty talk, any person can have several unrealistic dreams. I dare to bet if somebody happen to pa.s.s through, no man would want to!” The youngster shook his head.
After the platform changed into a sofa, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ sat down and said: “I have never gave to your world to any people, the chance of pa.s.sing through. You are the first! And I only have chose you because I appreciate your qualifications.”
“There are many more qualified to go than me, you can choose other people.”
“FYA!” Suddenly, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ tone becomes solemn and sincere, he stands up: “You are the first one that made me admire a person, but also the first friend with which I wish to speak sincerely and have a deep talk. I have chosen you! Do you wish to die like this? With regret and remorse, that kind of silent death? Don’t you want to know more about this world! Or a brand-new and majestic world world.”
┉┉┉┉This time the youngster was silent, he only lowered his head without replying.
“Don’t you like my fantasy CG?” Every single word that ‘Panda’ said was filled with charm and temptation; “In fact, those CGs are all real! Those are my creation, a real scene of a another world. Don’t you want to take a look? And I don’t say through a flat image, but being completely integrated into the real scene, touching it for real, feeling it, and it doesn’t matter if it is a giant dragon or the also dreamlike beautiful fairy city!”
“If those sceneries are all real…” The youngster raised his head and with an indifferent smile said: “I’m willing to exchange all my wealth even for a moment to enjoy that view…”
“However, you still don’t want to?” ‘Panda’ was obviously somewhat frustrated.
The youngster nodded and said: “Do you want to know why?”
“A unusual thinking!”
“Panda, if you sincerely regard me as a good friend, then if you are really an omnipotent ‘G.o.d’! In that case…” Suddenly the youngster knelt down in front of ‘Panda’ and sincerely said: “Then, can you resurrect me and let me return to my family’s side? I have too many regrets and guilt towards my family, I hope that I can be together with my parents for some time. That a child dies before their parent is an unfilial act, I don’t want to see my parents live in sorrow.”
‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ helped the youngster to stand up and looked at him with a self deprecating smile: “According with the pa.s.sing though novel’s plot, by now you should’ve been already holding my thigh, and asking me to give you a formidable power so after you pa.s.s though you could dominate the world, right? Haha! It seems like the reality compared with the fiction are two different things!”
“But don’t be sad! I like that kind of spirit.” ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ patted the shoulder’s boy and said: “In fact… You’re not dead!”
The youngster amazed lifted his head, ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ snapped his fingers and the platform’s scenery started to change once again. The scenario changed to the last minute before he died, the entire room was freezed thought time as if was done by a magic spell. The doctor, the nurse, even him, the youngster lying in the bed together with his parents, all we are maintaining their posture motionless in their original position.
“I stopped the flow of time at the last moment of your life in your world, that’s why your body is still alive, but of course, the time will flow again like it should be and maybe in the next second you will die. However, I can cure your illness completely.”
Listening to the Panda’s words, the youngster crying in tears said: “Thank you… really… Thank you very much.”
‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ shooked his head and said: “From your point of view, I can understand your feelings. You can rest a.s.sured, your world has already ceased to flow for all the eternity. You can always go back to your world anytime you want and continue with your ordinary life…”
“But you still want me to pa.s.s though other world?” From listening ‘Panda’ words, the youngster had some idea, he seemed to be a little lost: “But… I…”
“I know what you think, but even if you pa.s.s through another world, even if you go for hundreds of years, it will not change anything. You can always come back to your life anytime you want.” After finish saying those words, instead ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ knelt down in front of the youngster: “I beg you, ok? Promise me this request.”
The youngster was astonished for a moment, he crouched down and helped ‘Panda’ to stand up and said: “Don’t do that, I didn’t say that! You really don’t have a little of a dignity as a G.o.d should.”
After both were standing neither spoke, the youngster sighed and showed a reluctant smile: “Do you really want me to pa.s.s through?”
“With all my heart!”
Facing ‘Gla.s.ses Panda’ incomparably sincere tone, the youngster seemed determined: “If you can answer and help me resolving several problems regarding pa.s.sing though, Then I’ll promise you.”
“No problem!”
