Dying

"What?!"

When he heard the second problem, he widened his eyes in shock.

After a while, his face turned extremely ugly and he asked Drey,

"Drey, stop joking around with my hair. How can my hair change colour?!"

Jim just couldn't believe it. He was the type that cherished his hair very much. He believed it added charm to his already handsome face.

"Hahaha... I can see that you care for your hair. Either way, don't worry. You look really handsome with your new blue hair. Do you think I am joking?! You can look at your reflection in the lake!!"

Drey burst out laughing when he heard what he said.

*Hmph*

"If I check my reflection and my hair isn't blue...Hmph!", Jim said as he walked towards the rather beautiful lake he created with his imagination.

" Hahaha. Go on! Go on!", Drey replied still laughing.

*Hmph*

Jim snorted and then looked into the lake.

*****

"Ahhh~~!!"

An ear-piercing scream rang out in Jim's spirit space.

It was Jim's voice.

"Drey, what have you done to me?!", Jim asked Drey.

The reason why Jim shouted out so loud in shock was basically that he saw himself with blue hair in the lake!! He needed an explanation.

" Haha... Okay, okay, I will explain. Hahaha!"

Drey replied whiles still laughing.

"Whenever an elemental spirit resides in a person, a special mark is given to them. Some come in tattoos and strange markings on the body. However, even I have never heard of the colour of a person's hair changing when an elemental spirit resides in them. That is why I am surprised!! Hahaha", Drey explained to Jim.

" Oh is that so? Then it's okay.", Jim said.

After laughing for a while, Drey said to join,

"Jim, If anyone asks you what happened in the elemental realm, just say you don't remember anything. There are many powerful people out there. If they find out you have an elemental spirit residing in you, who knows what they will do."

"Okay, no problem!", Jim replied.

Jim was no fool. He knew how wicked humans could be. So even if Drey didn't warn him, he would still have kept this a secret.

"Ehmm... Drey how do I get out of here?", Jim asked with confusion written all over his face.

"There are two ways to get out of here. The first one is extremely difficult and the second one is extremely easy...", Drey began to explain.

" I want the second one!", Jim said in a firm tone.

"I think you should listen to all methods before you make rash decisions. The first one is a martial technique that helps one to enter and exit their elemental spirit space whenever they want. I will teach you how to use it soon. It is kinda difficult to cultivate. It will take people months to completely grasp the technique.."

"I am definitely not doing that one!!", Jim said in a firm tone.

" The second one... Which is the easiest is by... DYING!!"

"What?! By dying?! What do you mean?!", Jim asked.

" When one enters the spirit space, they are in a half-sleep state. If you are killed here or if you die here, you just wake up in the real world."

"Oh... Should I try?! But it is still too risky. What if I die?!", Jim thought.

"I will just ask you a question. Do you want to leave here?!", Drey asked after a while of silence.

" Yes, but~", Jim was about to reply.

"Then, Die!!!", Drey shouted as he swung his large tail at Jim. He also released his aura so that Jim couldn't escape.

Seeing the massive tail coming at him, with no escape, the only thing Jim could do was scream. So he did just that,

" AHHHH~~~~!!"

Then everything turned black.

****

*swish*

A beam of rays entered Jim's eyes as he opened his eyes. He inspected his surroundings and noticed that he was in a familiar place.

The hospital. He was currently at the city's hospital -Lightsway City Hospital. Moreover, it seemed that he was not in a normal hospital room. Even though, he was familiar with this room since this is the second time he came here. The room was naturally the injury room.

After inspecting his surroundings, he looked at his hands and said in a dazed voice,

"So, I am alive. Seems that he is trustworthy after all!".

" Hahaha, kid, I gave you the fright of your life. Hahaha, how did it feel?! To die?!"

Suddenly a rather cocky but loud voice entered his ears. Jim recognized the voice.

It was Drey's voice.

"You can talk to me out here too?!", Jim asked.

"Of course! If it wasn't this way how would elemental spirits contact their masters!" Drey stated firmly.

"I can also see whatever you see.", Drey added.

"Whoah~~ that's cool!"

Jim was amazed.
