Reincarnated Twice But This Time In The Future

Chapter 1 - Death(s)

"Arhtur! Behind you!" Claire, the girl clad in scarlet armor warned.

"I know!" Arhtur quickly ducked dodging the invisible blades in a nick of time.

"You love to sneak behind everyone, Maja," Arhtur said.

"So you already know," Maja retorted.

Maja, one of the top geniuses in the field of Dark magic. Not only that, Maja can control Holy magic as well without the rebound affecting her.

To be able to use both holy and dark magic itself is almost an impossible feat, since both elements can't coexist.

"Well, you're the only one who wants me dead, don't you have anything better to do?" Arhtur said as he countered by throwing the invisible blades he caught earlier.

Maja leaped backward, dodging the blades in the air. There's a pause, and then she clears her throat.

" Why did y- why did you betray me," Maja asked, dejected.

She's still delusional after all this time? Arhtur thought to himself.

Maja's fiance mysteriously died during the holy crusade. Not even his body could be found. This led Maja to go down a wretched path, looking for a way to get revenge.

"I never did. In fact, No one did, you're the only one who thinks that we have something to do with his death."

Maja looks doubtful. Arhtur thought that she might finally understand, but he was wrong.

In an instant, shards of ice came out from the ground, trapping Arhtur on the ground.

"A rune? When did you set this," Arhtur asked, frozen in the ground.

"I'm not the only one, look," Maja smiled as she pointed towards Hunter, behind Arhtur.

"You're too trusting for your good," Hunter said, checking the rune he planted. "That was nerve-wracking," he sighed in relief.

"Another spy,"Arhtur murmured.

Arhtur turned back to look for Claire, but it was too late. Claire was already dead. Her body was impaled by multiple ice shards from the ground.

"You killed your friend too, you disgust me, Hunter," Arhtur said.

"She wasn't my friend at all," answered Hunter. "She never was. Maja, it's your turn, as we planned" he added.

Maja slowly approached Arhtur.

"This is it, this is how far you go."

She took out a small dagger, covered in red linings, and words Arhtur couldn't understand.

"With this, I'll make sure you never come back."

"I -," Without time to respond, Maja beheaded Arhtur.

"You can rest now...."

|\• BEINA•/|
-The place where the chosen ones are sent-_

°Arhtur's Pov°

The moment I woke up my head was killing me, my body aching everywhere. I was in a room so bright that I couldn't see the end. It felt familiar. This is definitely Beina, the place I was sent before I was reincarnated to being Arhtur.

But someone was suppose to welcome you here, at least of what I experienced back then. I should try calling her.

"Eleonora!," I demanded her. But no one is talking. Slowly but surely the light disappeared, turning the place that was dazzling the entire time into pure darkness.
