Capters 2

Nigel was still puzzled by the word second chance which meant the god of death before him. "You mean?" tanyakanya.

Zanon smile. "I'll bring you back to life."

"Liven me!?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Nigel stalled here, there was another thought that made him hesitate. He leaned over and supported his head with both hands. His mind was now free to drift looking for a bright spot in response to Zanon's offer. The pieces of memory during his life, lined up like the display of arranged paintings. The daily living in the forest looking for firewood - which he lived for nearly fifteen years - comes as an opening. The income that he plans to save for his girl, just continues to be used for daily needs. Although Nigel enjoyed and was grateful for his quiet life, for him now death was better than poor living.

But, the shadow of the puja girl suddenly came to mind. A smile that bristled from Diana's lips - which could make any man fall in love - appeared on the sidelines of the shadow of poverty. This is one of the supporting factors to accept the offer. However, given the nature of Diana who prioritizes money, doubt discourages the spirit to meet again.

Nigel sighed then leaned back in his chair and went back into deep thought.

"Why?" zanon asked, he caught the lethargic look on Nigel's face. "You don't want to come back to life?"

"That's a very attractive offer, but I'm tired of poor hiup. You've read my whole life, don't you know what my misery is like" replied Nigel as he was.

Zanon looked at the young man while thinking hard to make him accept his offer, and he found a speck of ideas.

"What if I give you some gifts" Zanon said.

"Gifts?"

"Yes, gift. Not just one, I'm offering you three gifts. The first is science and information at the undergraduate level." Hearing these words, Nigel immediately reacted. A scholar is the degree at which one reaches the highest point of knowledge. Only the nobility could attend school, and only the upper-level nobles could study until they got the title. To put it simply, the title of scholar could only be held by upper class nobles. Nigel was very interested in this offer. Unknowingly, the young man's saliva dripped. And on the other hand, Zanon smiled.

Zanon continued his offer, "The second is physical energy beyond ordinary humans. With this gift, you won't get tired easily. You can circle your town for a full day without stopping if you want."

The second gift is quite interesting, but the first gift is very tempting.

"And the third gift is fighting ability. I'll cram into your brain how to fight like a knight and some witchcraft. How's it?"

Nigel was very interested, he did not think too much about the last two gifts. The first gift caught his interest. But Nigel thought of something else. "Why do you want me to come back to life. What's in it for you?"

Zanon laughed for a moment. "Good question young man. Of course the resurrection and this gift are not geratis, there is a price you have to pay."

"What's the price?" ask Nigel quickly.

"A task. Just one task,"

"What task do you mean?"

"I want you to find two people in the world there. Immortal pair. Find them both and give them my message." Zanon held his hand to the front of his chest and played his five fingers. Dark energy appeared and formed a black sphere in the hand. The ball went wide and turned into a card. Zanon gave the card to Nigel.

The card looks like a regular card considering it is created from darkness. It's like wood. There is a strange symbol on one side of the card, while the other side is plain. A strange symbol for Nigel, the black color that sometimes appears gold powder.

"This only?" ask Nigel.

"Give them the card if they refuse to be found?"

"Then, who are the two people you mean?" ask Nigel again.

"Alright," answered Nigel at last.

The victory flag fluttered on Zanon's head. His offer managed to attract the interest of the young man in front of him. He immediately extended his hand to shake his hand. "See you soon after you get old."

Nigel departed from his seat and returned Zanon's hand. "See you."

Suddenly, a magic-circle appears on the floor that Nigel is walking on. Strange symbols also appear and shine with the magic circle earlier. Rays of energy shot out from the carvings of the symbols and watered the young man's body. Slowly, Nigel's body began to disappear and eventually disappeared.

The sound of footsteps from the darkness approached and approached Zanon. A woman seemed to be smiling with a plan that seemed to be working successfully.

The woman was wearing an ordinary green dress tied with a brown belt. It looked ordinary however, both of his eyeballs were completely black. Long unraveling red hair covered his back.

"You're really crafty, Zanon. Using the direct descendants of fallen angels who inherited the light of heaven" the woman said.

"I cannot overcome darkness with darkness. Therefore, I need light energy on the child" replied Zanon.

"I've helped you. Don't you try to forget our agreement. If your horse succeeds, give me a seat of power in hell. But if it fails, don't say my name about what happened today."

"I know what I'm doing. You just shut up and wait for the success of this plan." Zanon got up in a haughty manner, and left the woman in the cold room.

The cool air of grass seeped into the respiratory system of a young man sleeping on the edge of a ravine.

A donkey tried to wake his master by grabbing the young man's hair, of course with his teeth.

Nigel awoke, he blinked his eyes several times to stabilize his vision. The evening sky was the first sight he saw. There is a collection of clouds drifting westward, the direction of the sky blowing.

He moved and sat. Holding his head that had previously hit the rock at the bottom of the abyss, there were no injuries there. "Maybe it's just a dream" he murmured. "It seems like I'm working too hard to forget about my health. I'll go home and rest."

As Nigel was about to move, he felt something in his pants pocket. With a little laziness, he reached into the bag of pants. His fingers found something there and he immediately pulled it out.

A plain brown card. As he turned the card around, a strange symbol engraved with black ink was plastered on that side. Nigel's heart was racing at the sight of the symbol. "It's not a dream. I really did die and come back to life."

Nigel immediately moved as he stared at his surroundings with a huff. Accidentally, he saw a bird on a tree branch in front of him. The brown bird looked cool jumping and whistling.

There was nothing special about the bird, Nigel even saw the bird every day in this forest. But, a science regarding the bird flowed profusely in the young man's brain.

"Reed Warbler's. Birds are bloated in spring to fall and migrate to warm temperatures during winter. Making a nest in a reed bush. It produces four to five eggs in the mating cycle. It takes eleven days for a young bird to mature and fly with its own wings. HOW DO I KNOW THAT!"

Nigel looked back. He saw a plant growing on the edge of the abyss. The breadth of knowledge flowed back into his brain.

"Nature Plant. Easily found in nature. The surface skin of the leaves of this plant contains toxins. If you touch it directly, the skin will itch. However, if the leaves are soaked with water, then the poison will disappear. Tea from nettle leaves is very effective in overcoming rheumatism. Oh jesus. All this time I didn't even care if the plant grew there."

Nigel immediately picked up the scattered firewood, put it into a grobak, and hurried to pull the donkey. He wants to go home soon.
