This was my problem. It always has been. Ever since I made that damn wish. Yes - It was all because of a stupid wish. Why did I make this wish? Yes - It was temptation. Probably the devil. Well, that's all I can tell to console myself from accepting my own fault in this.
Today was yet another day in my abnormal life. I had always hated my power. Especially that stupid accursed wish that I made. But over many lives, I learnt to ignore it. After all, this power was now a part of 'me', not that I had a particular 'me' to talk about.
"137." I muttered to no one in particular. I just muttered out the amount of lives I've lived. This was once a power I wished for, and the power that I now see as a curse. This curse was reincarnation, a power that defies all logic. A 'miraculous' power according to the animes I've watched. If so, why am I continuously reincarnating into a world with no power?! Where are all the isekais?!
"Gosh... this is a boring curse," was all I muttered out. I've done this for all my lives except my first life, before all the reincarnations. 136 lives because of reincarnation. 9326 years of life. 3,403,990 days of life except for the leap years that I didn't really count.
The streets were noisy and crowded which was its natural state. Though, even among the lively crowd, it was clear that someone lifeless was moving around, the lifeless one being me, of course.
As expected, a few people from the crowd started whispering.
"Kid looks like a zombie."
"Probably stayed up all night gaming."
"Honestly, kids these days."
And so on. Gosh.. if only they knew that this 'kid' was actually a 3.4 million year old fossil.
Somehow, among the crowd, amongst all the whispers, a shopkeeper passed by me. His name tag didn't show his name, rather, it read out '5315'. He whispered to me as he passed by. "Come to Midiac park. 6p.m."
Okay, now that was freaky. No adult invites a stranger, much less a minor to come to alone to a park. This was definitely my weirdest encounter in my 137 lives except for that one encounter in my 98th life, I guess.
Well, anyway, if he was some pervert or some sort of fucked up deranged psycho interested in minors or some shitty molester, he should've known that I was the top martial artist in my 54th life, and the greatest boxer in my 29th life, and a villain who destroyed that whole country in my 9th life. What could a measly normie do against me? Probably beg for his life after I give him a punch or two.
Of course, I still had to go to school. I continued walking until I reached the school gates. They were massive with a beautiful silver gleam. Well, I know very well that the front was always luxurious, even if the interior wasn't.
Grand High. It was the most prestigious school in Mida, the city I lived in. Mida was the biggest, most luxurious city in the country of Sepheria, and the director of Grand High is the son of the mayor of Mida.
'A villain will remain the villain as long as it is the hero who tells the story.' This was one of my ideals, and that was why I avoided openly criticising other people or things. This was also the reason why I had not yet completely obliterated the prestige of this school, even with over a dozen pieces of evidence for its 'evil'.
With a deep breath, I stepped past the towering gates. This is my life, the life of Vynn Luo, the 'Reincarnator.'
