The Strange Life I Live

Awal

The sound of birdsong fills the silence of a forest whose aura is very cool, if someone is just below the – trees in this forest. Although the sunlight began to break through from between – leaves, still the place was very cool.

A white-haired man, currently lying comfortably under one of the trees in the forest, where the sound of birds chirping in that place, was, it did not bother him at all when he slept comfortably in that place.

But as the sun grew higher, the sunlight that broke through between – between the leaves finally illuminated him. With the annoyance he received, the white-haired man began to open his eyes slowly and began to notice the surrounding state.

“Huaaammmmmmm~”

The man began to yawn and began to sit where he had previously slept. With his life not yet fully accumulated, he began to stretch his body and began to look around, until he realized something.

“Wait... Where is my right hand?” he said when he realized that his right hand was out of place and lost somewhere.

He began to wake up from his seat and look around, until he was fully aware of what was happening to him.

“Damn you Old man...! why don't you heal my right hand!” he screamed up towards the sky.

A voice echoed from his shout, beginning to fill the forest that previously only the sound of birds chirping could be heard. But when he screamed, he found himself not getting any answers and made him a little upset.

“Hah... I know you don't want to interfere with my fate, but at least grow back my hand” murmured the man a little emotionally.

Yes, that man is Zen whose soul has now been reunited with his proper body. At this time his soul had already moved into the body of a man named Zen Heilight, even though this was actually his real body.

“Cih... then how about the system I asked before!” zen shouted back.

Indeed, on the copensation of himself while going through a tragic life, an old man or what could be said his grandfather gave him a request. But when Zen asked for something that made him so powerful, the idea was immediately rejected by his Grandfather.

“Strength must be achieved not given as a gift”

Such was the wise sentence that his Grandfather uttered that made Zen mock him. But Zen managed to ask for something that was System. But strangely, now he did not know how to activate or do something with what he asked for.

“System?”

“Halo..”

“You heard me?”

“Status”

“Parameters”

“Skill”

All the words Zen already mentioned to try to activate his system. But until now, he had still not managed to summon the system he had requested before to his Grandfather.

“Cih what really happened? Did he forget to give it to me?” said Zen who is confused at this time, because the system he had been looking for had not appeared.

But just as she was about to put her remaining hand into her pants pocket, she realized there was something in her pants pocket. Zen quickly picked up the thing, and could see a familiar flat object in his grasp at the moment.

“Smartphone?” zen murmured after seeing the thing he had just taken out of his pants pocket.

But before he checked the contents of his phone, he was surprised by the rustling sound of – bushes nearby. Slowly he began to turn his head to the origin of the voice and was surprised to see some wolves staring at him with the gaze of a predator who was finding its prey.

“Sial!” zen said then put in his phone and rushed to run from there.

Seeing the prey run away, the three-tailed wolves began to chase after him. Of course their speed was different, especially Zen still adjusted his body balance because he had to run without his right hand.

“Sial, it is difficult to adjust the balance when one of my hands disappears” said Zen, who was trying to keep running from the pursuit of the wolves who were chasing him.

“******!!” his makinya and Zen started rolling on the declining ground after getting a scratch on his shoulder.

Slowly Zen heard the sound of the rushing water near where he was. Hearing that, he thoughtlessly went straight up and did not care about the pain he felt and continued running.

The wolf chasing Zen of course continued to chase after him, but it seemed like the goddess of luck was still on Zen's side, as she saw a rushing river right in front of her.

Without a second thought, Zen immediately jumped into the clear river and drowned himself, although a few moments later his head began to appear on the surface of the river that was flowing with a rush.

“Wait for my reply the jackals, I will look for you and kill you one by one” shouted Zen emotion, whose body is currently carried away by the current.

Upon seeing that the wolves were no longer chasing him, as Zen entered the rushing river and was carried away by the current, Zen began to breathe a sigh of relief. But as he tried to relax, the view of the end of the river where he was seemed to be getting closer.

“Wait, is that the end?” zen said when he saw the canal from the river it was no longer visible.

“Doesn't that mean I'm heading towards the waterfall?” murmured Zen then.

Panicked, Zen used every strength he had to swim, at least to the edge of the river he was currently following. But just like running, swimming with one hand is very difficult.

“Sial... whether the curse of Zen's name will still continue” said Zen when he was currently approaching at the end of the river.

Seeing the surface that seemed to be running out, Zen could see a ravine where the river flowed towards a waterfall. Zen did not run out of sense when he reached the end, because he managed to reach a stone.

But a strong current, slowly began to erode the strength of his hand and made him slowly release bit by bit his grip from the stone. Zen had already tried his hardest, but it seemed like his fate was lacking luck and caused his grip to slip.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~”

And so was the sound of Zen's scream that began hard, until his voice began to swallow as if he had fallen down a waterfall that flowed profusely in that place.

“Byuuuurrrrr~”

And the sound of something falling into the water, finally ended that almost inaudible scream.

.

.

Something that had just fallen from the top of the waterfall at this place, began to sink quite a long time after falling. Until finally, a head began to appear on the surface of a stream of water under the waterfall.

“Hah... Huh... Hah...” heard the sound of breathing from a man who was still trying to calm down, while experiencing something very extreme that he had experienced before.

“I'm alive?” said the man who was Zen, who immediately checked his entire body using his hand that was still attached to his body in detail.

“I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!” he cried happily while making sure he was good – is fine.

The current slowly began to bring him to his fore, where he was floating at the moment. Using his one-handed swimming technique, he began to bring himself closer to the edge he was aiming for. After successfully reaching it, Zen slowly began to crawl out his entire body from within the surface of the water, where he had swam before.

After making sure his entire body was out of the water, Zen began to lay his body face up and began to calm himself down at this moment.

“I didn't know this was bad luck or luck” Zen murmured as he recalled the situation he had just experienced.

“Wait... smartphoneu” said Zen panicked, after remembering the object he put in his pants pocket earlier.

Slowly Zen began to reach into his pants pocket and took out the object that was a smartphone, which was nailed to his pants and saw whether it was still working or not.

“Wait, this thing is waterproof?”
