Re:Immortal

Chapter 116

"Where am I?" Muttered Omis, as he struggled to open his eyes.

His entire body felt like it was submerged inside a deep lake, he felt like he was falling down deeper by the second.

Glancing around him, Omis found himself floating in a world of darkness, nothing was there but him. His mind felt numb while his eyelids were heavy causing him to struggle in keeping them open.

"What was I doing?" He asked himself.

A sudden pain suddenly assaulting him as he remembered the scene of the black-haired little boy in the restaurant.

"Why did you leave me &#?#@!?" Came the loud scream of the child resounding all across the dark realm bringing Omis another wave of pain.

"Who are you!" He cried out, the boy was definitely someone close to him from his past life.

"How could you forgot about me?!" Asked the voice with clear anger.

"How could you?!" It asked again, this time its volume rising significantly causing Omis to grit his teeth in pain.

His head felt like it was about to explode. Whenever the voice of the boy echoed in his ears, something deep inside of him seemed to struggle to come out.

It was an extremely unpleasant feeling, akin to when one forgets something important. Only this time, it was accompanied by pain, pain so unbearable, causing Omis to scream out loud.

He had never felt such a thing before, his hands moved to grab his head as his scream echoed throughout the dark realm.

"Agh!! Make it stop! Please!" He pleaded as he struggled to retain his sanity.

The pain was unbearable, it was felt deep inside his brain yet there was nothing he could do about it as he yelled out in despair, his nails digging deep into his skin causing blood to come out.

"Did I only amount to this much for you?" Asked the voice as it rang once more in his ears bringing with it another wave of pain, yet what followed after was a stream of memories.

The memories were foreign, yet still felt somewhat nostalgic to Omis. As he struggled to retain his consciousness, the memories seemed to play out like a film inside his mind.

He watched the scenes of a young man with curly hair pacing around nervously in front of a hospital door, soon a doctor came out with a smile and invited him in, once inside Omis watched as the young man hastily made his way towards the bed where a lady was laying down.

Her face was a blur making It impossible to make out her features, yet simply seeing that figure caused his pain to intensify greatly almost rendering him unconscious, but he prevailed, gritting his teeth in pain, Omis's vision was turning blurry yet he still forced himself to watch.

The lady laying down in bed had just given birth, and on her chest laid a small baby with deep brown eyes and very short black hair. The young man's eyes were teary as he rushed forward and kissed the lady before carefully moving to hold the child.

At this point, the pain became unbearable for Omis as his mind blanked, the scene ending abruptly as he was pulled from the strange like dream.

Gasp

Panting, Omis found himself sitting down once again inside the strange empty restaurant, the young boy still standing in front of him continued to calmly gaze at him, his obsidian eyes turned brown as his entire aura seemed to revert back to that of a normal young child.

"Why did you forget about me?" He asked in a quiet voice.

"I-"

"Why did you leave me behind?" He asked again, his head dropping down low not looking at Omis directly.

"*Sob*...*Sob*...Tell me...why?" He asked, before breaking out into a sob.

He then abruptly raised his head back up, his brown eyes shockingly clear as they seemed to stare at Omis's very soul before asking.

"Why did you go, Father!" Sobbed the boy.

Hearing that, drums seemed to go off inside Omis's head as his mind blanked, Father? The boy, called him father? It was his child? He...he forgot his own child?

Tears unconsciously streamed down from his eyes as he looked at the little boy, his gaze slowly turning from confusion into one of clarity as he slowly raised his hand almost with uncertainty towards the little boy, as if afraid he would disappear.

An extremely wide and happy smile suddenly bloomed across the boy's crying face as he looked at Omis who finally seemed to recognize him. As his palm finally reached to touch his cheek, Omis called out.

"Liam..." He muttered as he moved his second palm to hold the little's boy's face in his hands, his tears not stopping.

"Hey, dad." Smiled the little boy.

"I" Omis was lost for words, for a second his mouth kept opening and closing as he held the little boy's head between his palms.

Suddenly, their surroundings started to crack like a broken mirror before shattering into countless pieces, the restaurant slowly disappearing as Omis watched in shock, Liam simply smiled before taking a step back from his hands, his body turning into cracks as well, before Omis could even understand what was happening, the entire background alongside Liam suddenly shattered completely.

And then everything went black.

Blinking, Omis found himself back in the 'Underworld' his hands still outstretched only this time there was no Liam, there was no one, his extended hands were left grasping empty air.

The sea of lightning that surrounded him abruptly vanished, the single horn in his forehead also disappearing leaving behind his now black and white hair, alongside one golden and one Scarlet eye.

"Master!" Seeing that the lightning had disappeared, Lu Lu instantly rushed towards her master.

As soon as she saw him, however, her body instantly halted mid-air. She did not say a word but simply looked at him. Her master's figure seemed to have changed, his back exuding a sense of loneliness, as he stood there in the air, a sad never before seen expression was on his face as a single tear dropped from his eye.

Lu Lu had heard about it, she had heard how 'Originals' seemed to have memories of previous lives unlocked each time they had a breakthrough in the God Realm, yet she also heard about how a lot of them lost control and chose to die because of it.

"Master..." Looking at Omis, she muttered with concern.
