RDD 3

Chapter 3





I feel like another soul mixed with me and memories that I didn't have a recollection of forcefully penetrated my brain. My brain was fried to the limit. 


"Guhah--!! Aahhh--!"


I gasped as I kicked my feet up. I immediately raised my upper body and inhaled deeply. Even though some of the water entered my esophagus, I was madly insane for air right now. 


"Kahak--!"


I could not control my throat and cough strongly. I coughed water after water as I escaped the bathtub that drowned me. 


My languished arms did their best to pull me out of the bathtub. I was gasping and weakly rest my body on the cold floor of the bathroom. 


My head was aching, no, every part of me was aching. 


"Ugh..."


It took me half an hour to move and I painfully stood up. 


Suddenly, a strange thing caught my sight. 


"... Why is there a toaster in the bathtub?"


I asked myself despite feeling groggy and weak. 


Then, I remember... 


"Ah, I was the one who put it in there..."


Strange that I know this thing even though this is my first time in this place. 


"Ugh! Damn it! Why do you have to keep doing this!? My head hurts, okay!"


A flash of memories struck me and I almost stumble down. I gripped my head tightly as I clenched my teeth. I endured the pain as much as I could. 


"Guh..."


I groaned like a madman. 


I swear this whole day is all about pain!


I was hit by a truck!


I was suffering from the pain!


I reincarnated!


Yet I was still suffering from the pain!


What the hell bruh!


"Haahhh haahhh..."


After the pain subsided, my vision became better, and scanned the whole place. 


Just as I expected, I was in an old bathroom where there were stains that were impossible to clean. How did I know that? Because I tried cleaning them when my family first rent this place.


It was bizarre how I know this but I already have an idea. It's probably because of this body. 


The original owner of this body. I have his memories and emotions. If I'm not wrong, our two souls are probably mixed into one. However, I was the one who dominated the fusion because the original owner was already dying when the process of fusion happened. 


In a way, I'm still me. The guy who was killed by the truck and met a Goddess. I'm still Keith Castillo. 


"If I'm not wrong, the original owner probably killed himself."


I glanced at the toaster that was still floating in the bathtub, there was smoke coming from it. I realized that there was an extension cord lying on the floor but the toaster was not plugged in, at least not anymore.


"The toaster probably unplugged when I was kicking the tub..."


It was fortunate that I escaped another death. 


"Okay, Keith... Let's make it slow and process it steadily."


First, the original owner killed himself because of depression so he used the most painful way to die.


Second, the Goddess brought me here and I became the owner of this body, which I'm a bit happy about because at least I know that I'm a male based on the dangling thing between my legs. 


The third and most important thing, I'm going to live a new life and I do not know where to start. That's the best that I could think of right now. 


I sighed and calmed my aching body. Perhaps this was because the body was in pain. After all, it was electrocuted. 


"Stupid..."


I said to myself. Why do I have to kill myself that way? I think drinking cyanide or falling from a tall building is much better. Although I never experienced them so I'm not sure. 


As for being run over by a truck... Nope, not great at all. Probably the worst experience in my life. 


Time was running but to be honest, I'm still in a state of shock right now. A lot of things happened and I can't process it in just a day. 


"I want to go to sleep."


I am exhausted that I want to lie down and shut my eyes. 


My steps were a bit unbalanced as I reached the extension cord and folded it. It was fortunate that this extension cord was not that wet. 


As for the toaster... I have to throw it, or else it will rekindle my memories of this very moment. 


When I turned around, I realized that there was an old stained mirror on the wall. I instinctively faced the mirror to see my appearance. 


My curiosity was immediately satiated when I confirmed something. 


"Good, it resembles my face."


The person in the mirror had black hair and was quite handsome. However, it was obvious that he was haggard and tired just by looking at the deep eye bags under his eyes, and the stubbles on his chin were growing unevenly. Furthermore, he has belly fat and it seemed like he doesn't exercise that much. 


To be honest, he looked ugly and unkept in my opinion. Like, when was the last time you shaved, bruh? 


I shook my head. Anyway, I need time to proceed with everything. It was hard to accept this new life. Just like the original owner, I'm depressed right now. 


I fixed the extension cord and threw out the toaster, I'll find an excuse to say to my wife later.


"Wife? Huh? Strange, I never know that I will be married just like that. But first, I want to take a nice sleep."


After wearing clothes, I immediately jumped onto the bed face planted... All I can say is this bed is quite flat and not soft at all. Looks like I have to find a way to buy a fluffy bed, for me and my wife. 


My eyes closed and I snore loudly. There are many things that I have to think about, I have to accept the truth that I will never return. But I'm exhausted and I need to rest first. 


-- Snore snore snore...
