Taking Over A Magical World With Memory Manipuation

Falling through the dark void of **** John fantasised of his life and what could have been. The fantasies drove him to think what brought him to this point. He had let himself get dragged along by a dead end job which soon didn’t become a figure of speech. John’s health continued to decline even at the age of twenty-four. John kept working through his health issues allowing for every relationship he had to fall apart. John only had one friend left towards the end of his miserable life his childhood friend Mira a kind and gentle girl who had been in her final year of university. John didn’t hold any romantic feelings for her but after another tough day of work he happened across her being proposed to by her would be boyfriend right outside her house next door to his own.

John knew she had a boyfriend for about a year now but didn’t think too much of it. He was happy for her and couldn’t wait to attend her wedding. Then he received a text from her which read “Hey, I know this is sudden but I’m moving in with my fiancé next week…and well he said we shouldn’t talk or hang out anymore; because let’s be honest it’s kinda awkward a girl and guy hanging out who aren’t in a relationship. Besides you’re always busy working yourself. So well, thanks for all the fun times and always being there maybe we’ll meet again but I doubt it ‘Mr. Busybody’.”

John was just shocked now having lost his last friend the one he thought he was the closest with. John couldn’t even respond to her text he was stuck just lost in grief. The following day however he began his commute to work when he saw Mira and her fiancé loading up a box truck. John was feeling especially sick today after staying up in grief. John didn’t make eye contact with either of them but he noticed something moving at a high speed. It was a truck barreling out of control directly at Mira’s fíance who hadn’t noticed it. John who couldn’t bear to see his ex-childhood friend cry if she lost her fíance moved without a second thought. Yelling would have been too slow so John ran and pushed the man out of the way and as he did felt a heavy pressure cause his body to crumble. Then there was a darkness, the sound of sirens and weeping. John weakly opened his eyes to see Mira banging on her fiancé’s chest trying to pull away from him her teary eyes focused on John. John closed his eyes for the last time as Mira screamed his name…

…Now that’s what led us to this point John kept falling further and further into the dark void. **** slowly consumed him and suddenly he stopped. No longer falling John’s eyes came to rest on a small white flame. Voices emanated from the flame inaudibly whispering. Then a strong light engulfed the darkness and John found himself in a bright room. A clap echoed through the walls of the place followed by a male voice. “Well…well…well you did it John. You somehow managed to make your meager life it into something grand at the end. Oh how heroic giving your life to save your little friend’s fiancé. I’m moved to tears really…NOT! She broke off the engagement and moved back with her parents. To think she really wanted a better life for you, she even thought you were too good for her. It makes me gag. Oh, I realized I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Omirio Delouver Meistro or as you can call me Omir.” Omir suddenly materialized in front of John with that appearance of a devil with pure white Angel wings.

John opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t make any words come out. Omir shook his head and put a finger to his mouth “Hush, hush little one I’m the one talking. John, John, John, John, John you lucky boy. Your selfless act has led to the big man upstairs giving you another chance something I necessarily never got. No, not in your world…”Omir stopped talking and grinned from ear to ear. “…you’re being brought back to my old world. Where I was unfairly treated. But alas the man upstairs is no saint he was gonna return you to exactly what you were doing before. A sad life of working, never meeting the girl of your dreams and dying alone. But, I have a different plan. You my friend are gonna rule that world and everyone in it and I’m gonna help you.” Suddenly a loud boom and a cracking sound resounded around the room. “Hey ya kid don’t mean to alarm you but the big man’s here and he’s not happy so if you could just reach out and shake my hand that would be grand. If you don’t we’ll both be in trouble.” John reached his hand out without thinking and Omir grabbed it without a second thought. “There ya go kid oh I should probably tell you wha..” The room suddenly shattered interrupting Omir and John was suddenly jettisoned straight into the void.

Then as if nothing happened John woke up. He was still dressed up in his work outfit however around him there was no street, there were no houses there was just lots and lots of trees. Everything else was normal dark night, two moons, dark demon tail… John freaked out and had to back himself up a bit. “Two moons that shouldn’t be right…” John rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky again just to be greeted by two different moons. “…okay so that’s a thing and how about this thing.” John grabbed the tail and yanked it not realizing it was attached to his body. A large shocking pain shot through his body causing him to collapse to his knees. John still recovering from the pain noticed a white feather directly in front of him. There was writing on the feather which simply stated “We’ll meet again my friend good luck with the power. - Sincerely, Omir”.

John decided he best try to regain his strength attempting to stand only to fall back down. His body disregarding any potential danger disobeyed him forcing him to pass out. After all a lot had happened.
