Before Reincarnation

In a well-dressed and furnished room, a young man could be seen lying on a bed with a bedsheet covering his lower body.

Ring! Ring!!

"Graah! It's 8am already" Edric mummered with a tired expression.

After being wakened up on a Saturday morning by the annoying buzzing sound of his clock, Edric lazily stood up and glanced at his running PC, before heading into the bathroom.

Looking in a mirror in the bathroom, Edric saw the reflective image of a white skin, topless, sturdy, handsome twenty-one years old man with sharp eyebrows, pale blue eyes, brown hair and an undercut hairstyle.

Looking at his reflection, Edric lazily said, "Hehehe! Who said Immortal's couldn't break through the Divine Gate" Then he picked up the toothbrush and brushed his teeth gently.

After brushing his teeth, he walked to the refrigerator, picked up some snacks and ate them. Afterwards, he went to the corner of his room, picked up a weight and started exercising.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, with the knocking sound on the door, a sweet melodial voice could be heard saying, "It's Elena, Sir Edric, It's time to clean your room"

"I will be done in a few minutes" shouted Edric with a exhausted expression on his face.

After a few minutes of exercising, He entered the bathroom and had his bath, before picking an outfit from his wardrobe.

"Come in" said Edric with expectant looks on his face.

Just then, a dark-brown silky hair lady dressed in black and white maid outfit displaying every godly curves on her body, opened the door and walked into Edric's room. The outfit of the maid, couldn't be classified as a maid outfit, but an outfit meant for succubus.

{She's as beautiful as always} thought Edric as he took his time, admiring the gracious figure of the maid.

When the Elena noticed the lustrous manner at which Edric was staring at her, she became shy and lowered her head.

Unable to shift his gaze from the beautiful lady with pale skin, Edric subconsciously gulped a mouthful of saliva.

Suddenly his mesmerised expressions were immediately replace with a provoked yet unwilling expression when he heard that voice.

"EDRIC!!! GET DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY"

{Damn that old woman} thought Edric with a rumpled forehead.

"I will be right back, My angel"

Edric spoke with an unwilling voice, before rushing out of the room.

"Okay, Sir Edric" Elena muttered with a flushed face, when she heard Edric's last statement.

"EDRIC!!!"

"Maa!!!" Edric shouted while running on the hall way, when he reached the stair case, he hurriedly rushed down the stair.

"EDRIC!!!"

"I'm coming" As though his life depended on those words, he shouted with all strength he had within him.

To Edric, the voice echoing from downstairs, seemed like the voice of a devil calling him from heaven to an abyss.

The moment he reached the last floor, he saw some group of men dressed in an oxford shoes, blue sleved shirt and a plain black trouser, carrying bags out of the room.

Within that same room stood a middle-aged lady with an appealing appearance, dressed in a white Astin sleeveless ruffle dress and beside her, is a middle-aged man with an average appearance, dressed in black and white Italian suit.

"How many times, Have I told you not to rush down the stairs. Just use the elevator..." the middle-aged lady shouted at Edric.

{Look at their dressing, They are dressed as a newly wedded couples.. Ancient couples, Hahaha...} thought Edric as he stared at the duo. However, on his face, he had a serious expression.

"Edric! Are you even listening to me. You sociopath, What were you just thinking now" asked the middle-aged lady with a knitted brow.

"Honey, Edri-" said the middle-aged man while adjusting his tie. However, his words were cutted off when the middle-aged woman raised her left hand (Signifying that he should hold it).

Feeling the penetrative gaze of the woman before him, Edric felt as though his secret was but an open book.

{Geas, Not again... If she wasn't my mother, I would have called her a witch... Every since I was born, It's as if she could read my mind}

"Dad, Your new tie, I love your design of your tie" Edric tried to quickly change the subject.

"Hahaha... Ed-" Edric's father laughed while readjusting his tie. However, just as he was about to accept the compliment of Edric, Edric's mother glared at him.

Facing the fierce stare of his wife, Edric's father quietly stepped back and gently walked out of the parlor like an obedient dog.

{Puu... Scared of your own wife. Nonsense, what sort of Lieutenant General are you... Lieutenant General my foot} thought Edric with a contempt expression as he glared at his departing father.

"You two... Hah! Forget it!" muttered Edric's Mom.

Unexpectedly, Edric's Mom smiled and asked warmly, "My little darling, How was your night. Did you sleep well"

However, instead of responding warmly to the unexpectedly loving gaze of his mother, Edric raised his guard to the maximum level to what is about to come next, as he was unfazed by the expression of his mother. He knew too well that behind her loving expression, is something else.

When Edric's mom noticed the unfaze expression on Edric, She sighed.

"Tch! You're not fun to deal with... Anyway, Your father and I are traveling to the United States, today" said Edric's mom, as she departed from the parlor.

{What? Traveling to US... Why telling me now or are they planning to keep me home alone} thought Edric with a startled expression. Although he was readily prepared for the tragic outcome to come when he saw the loving gaze of his mother, however he never expected such outcome.

A first, Edric was struck dump with his feet rooted on ground. But after thinking ahead of the possible outcome from the departure of his parents, Edric's lip curved to the side.

With the cunning smile on his face, he sat on the large and wide sofa with arms spread wide open and his thoughts running wild.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa, and enjoying the view of the furniture parlor decorated with expensive paintings and arts, he licked lower lip and muttered, "Elena, Oh, My dear Elena"

Suddenly Edric stood up and hastily walked to his room with an excited expression. When he got to entrance of his room, he quickly and quietly glanced at the perfect pumped a.s.s of Elena, who was quietly mopping the floor.

{It's perfect... Wait a minute, What's happening to me. I-I want to and I don't to} thought Edric as slowly extend his arm at the distant butt of Elena.

Unsatisfied by the distant view, he slowly walked towards Elena. Each step he took towards Elena cause his already beating heart to beat faster.

Ever since Elena was hired as his room maid, Edric couldn't understand himself, just at the mere sight of Elena, his thoughts would be running wild.

"Edric!!"

{Now what} thought Edric as he turned around and left the room.

The moment Edric left the room, Elena who was quietly mopping sighed in relief and muttered, "That was close".

On the stairway with the height of over 15 meters, a sturdy young man could be seen hastily stepping down the stairs.

"Edric!!!"

"Mom I'm comi-" Edric shouted while hastily stepping down the stairway, but before he could respond to his mom, he mistook the next step on the stairway.

"Ah!"

Edric screamed as he fell down from stairway.

"Edric!" Edric's mom yelled the moment she saw Edric's body rolling down the stairway.

Bang! Bang!

With a continuous bang, the body of Edric kept rolling down the stairs, until he reach the end of the stairway.

"Edric!!" yelled Edric's mom as she ran towards Edric without a care of ruining her expensive dress worth thousands of dollars.

Edric who lied on the floor, couldn't believe what just happened. What just happened, clearly took him by surprise.

Unlike Edric who had a surprise facial expression, Edric's Mom had a different expression. Immediately she got to the place where Edric's body was laid, she weakly fell on his kneel with her misty eyes.

"Edric! Edric!! Honey!!!" Edric's mom screamed in pain as she saw blood coming out of Edric's head.

Edric's dad who was discussing with the airline managers outside the parlor door, speedily ran inside the parlor, when he had the screaming and sobbing voice of his wife.

{What's going on, I feel my strength leaving my body... I don't understand, is this how a person feels when he's about to die... am I going to die} thought Edric as he struggled to keep up his heavy eyelid.

At that moment, sounds of sirens could be heard from a distance. Edric, who was still at the death door gazed at his weeping mom and quivering dad, who had his smartphone placed on his ear. For the first time in his lifetime, he saw his exalted, unsatisfied, cold mother weeping and his father, the mighty Lieutenant General shivering in fear.

Edric was speechless, he couldn't decide whether he should laugh or cry at that point in time.

"Mom, Dad, I'm really sorry for being a nuisance, I'm sorry for bei-" muttered Edric as he slowly and gently picked the call to glory.

"No, No, Don't say that, Don't say anything, the doctor will soon be here... It's my fault, I shouldn't have gotten a house with stairs, I shouldn't have called you, I shouldn't ha--"

At that point in time, Edric's mother raised all types of blames onto herself... But unfortunately, Mr death had already spoken with Edric...
