Wake Up To Reality

"Kyaa-ha-ha-ha-ha…!" The man continued to laugh.

"Khh…!"

The Boss held his breath, his chest rising and locking in place, terror gripping him as the man's laughter echoed.

The Henchman's eyes were locked on the man. He did not want to take a single breath as the man's terror had nested in his mind. He thought if he, so much man a single inch. He would be dead.

"Bzzt… bzzt.."

All of a sudden, the entire warehouse's lights begin to flicker. The lights were flickering in such a way that they were syncing with the man's horror laughter. It was like the entire warehouse was in the control of the man's fingertips.

"....P.... Please.... For... Forgive... Me....."

The Henchman tried to plead for mercy once again as tears of fear were constantly raining from his eyes.

The Henchman has lost all hope of survival. The only way he could see himself alive was with the man's mercy, while the Boss still had a flicker of hope in his heart that he can walk out of this warehouse alive. 

The Boss's arrogance was the one that gave him hope that he would live no matter what.

The Boss clenched his fist in frustration and spoke to himself while his eyes were locked on the man. "He Is Right, I Did Not Know What I Have Gotten Myself Into, But I Definitely Know Someone Is Going To Die When I Get Out Of Here!!!!"

"_______"

Just as the Boss finished talking to himself, the man stopped laughing, but the lights continued to flicker even after the man had stopped laughing.

"What Did You Just Say...."

The man looked at the Boss with his crimson eyes and asked him in a commanding tone.

The Boss had no idea what the man was talking about. He thought to himself that there was no way that the man could read his mind.

"Tch… heh."

The man smirked while looking at the Boss and said in his mocking voice.

"You really have no idea who you are dealing with. Death is right before you, and you are thinking that you have a chance to get out of here alive." 

"Tch... How childish...."

The man took a small pause before continuing.

"But Do Not Worry, You May Not Know A Single Thing About Me, But I Have Managed To Gather Some Information About You....."

The man continued while looking down on the Boss, "Your name is Daniel Carter. You are currently thirty years ten, months two, weeks one, day four hours, thirty-six seconds old. Your parents abandoned you when you were twenty 'cause you killed someone for money. They made you surrender yourself because they believed in justice."

The Boss's eyes widened in shock as the man continued to narrate his life story. The Boss was having trouble believing his ears. He could not comprehend what he was hearing.

The man continued, "You were sentenced to thirty years in prison because, but you made your way out in just nine years. It was all because of the connection you made in prison. Someone offered you to get some info from me in return they will get you out for free and make you rich, and like every other person you take the offer gladly."

Suddenly, the man's voice changes from a commanding tone into a horrifying one.

"That Person Who Got You Out Of Prison Gave You One Singular Task Only, But You Did Not Do That. What Was The First Thing You Did When You Got Out Of The Prison...." The man demanded answers.

The Boss remained silent and did not utter a single word from his mouth.

"ANSWER MEEE!!!!" The man yelled at the Boss.

"I killed them....." The Boss murmured in panic as he heard the man's voice.

"YOU KILLED THEM!!!"

"YOU KILLED YOUR OWN PARENTS!!!!"

"THEY BEGGED FOR MERCY FROM YOU, BUT YOU DID NOT LISTEN TO A SINGLE WORD THEY SAID!!!"

"YOU BEHEADED YOUR OWN FATHER AND CUT YOUR OWN MOTHER'S THROAT!!!!"

The man was gritting his teeth in anger as he was speaking.

The Boss gulped in fear. He did not know what to do. He was overwhelmed by the information the man had about him. The Boss was frozen solid. Not only his body was refusing to move, but even his mind was not letting him move. The only thought that the man had in his mind was do not move.

The man's voice suddenly changed to a calming one.

"So now you are thinking, how did I know all of that, aren't you?"

"Clang!"

As soon as the man finishes talking, the dagger inside his body falls to the ground.

"Ssshhh..."

Suddenly, an ethereal sound came out of the man's body. The Boss's jaw dropped as he saw what just happened before him.

The hole that the dagger left in the man's body completely disappeared as if it had never existed.

The man continued to talk in his calming nature as his wounds began to heal on their own. It was like the man have some otherworldly power that was healing his wounds.

"You think you were the one who found me and kidnapped me."

"But that's not the reality. The truth is I knew when, where, and who was going to help you kidnap me, but I did not do anything to stop me cause I wanted to see myself. How can a loser like you try to get information out of me."

Every single wound from the man's body had completely disappeared. It was like there was no wound on him at all, but there was still blood covering his entire face.

The man continues to speak in his calming voice, "Well, it was fun while it lasted."

"BAANGG!!"

As soon as the man finished talking, all the chains burst, and the man fell to the ground.

The man landed on his right knee and looked straight into the ground, making a heroic pose for the Boss and his Henchman to look at.

The man spoke in his haunting voice while looking at the ground, "Didn't You Want to Know Who Am I?"

"I...."

"Am....."

"Ra...."

Before the man could finish talking, he heard a woman's voice which attracted his attention.

"RATSUJIN!!"

"RATSUJIN!!!"

"RATSUJIN WAKE UP!!!!"

The man closes his eyes as the mysterious woman fades.

After a few moments, the man opened his eyes, but he was not in the warehouse anymore. He found himself in a small bed with a voice entering his ear.

"Thank God!"

"You Are Finally Awake...."
