Chapter 2 : Meeting Alexandre

Chapter 2 : Meeting Alexandre

Jack opened his eyes and found himself in a space where everything was blank, as if he had entered a realm beyond reality. He sat up, contemplating the situation, and wondered aloud, "Am I truly dead?" A voice responded from behind him, confirming his suspicion, "Yes, you are indeed dead."

Startled, Jack turned around to see a man in his thirties standing there. The sight of him left Jack speechless, for the man was the epitome of beauty and grace. His long, silver hair flowed elegantly, framing his handsome face, while his gray eyes seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. His flawless, unblemished skin exuded an otherworldly radiance, and his immaculate white attire only enhanced his angelic appearance.

As Jack's gaze lingered, the man teasingly remarked, "Have you finished admiring me?" Feeling embarrassed, Jack quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

With a playful smile, the man introduced himself, "I am Alexandre Eswald, you can call me alex. The reason why we both find ourselves in this blank space is due to my power called 'soul linkage.' You see, like you, I died, betrayed by my best friend."

Curiosity piqued, Jack inquired, "Why did your friend betray you?"

Alex's expression darkened momentarily before he answered, "There is many reasons and one them is that he discovered that I was fucking his wife and that I was the father of her four daughters-"

"Huh," Jack was taken aback, and he couldn't help but ask, "If you were fucking his wife, wouldn't that mean you betrayed him first ?"

Alex's eyes narrowed with lingering pain as he countered, "I may have fucked his wife, but does that truly warrant death?"

'yes, you do deserve death' though jack thought that, he didn't say it out loud.

Meanwhile Alex continued by saying "the other reason is that I had something precious that he wanted"

Curious jack asked "what is that "something" ?"

Alex replied " you will know later".

As the blank space seemed to envelop them in silence, alex revealed an astonishing proposal.He explained that through his power, the "soul linkage," Jack's soul could be reincarnated into alex's body. This revelation left Jack bewildered and anxious.

Seeking clarity, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Observing Jack's agitation, alex reassured him, "Through my power, I can arrange for your soul to inhabit my body, more or less. But for that to happen, you must promise me two things."

"You have a wife ?"

"Ah, yes, I didn't tell you, but I'm not as young as I look. I'm actually sixty this year. And yes, I have a wife, and we have four children. Well, the first three are not my biological daughters; only the last one is my blood daughter. But since I raised all of them from their childhood, I consider them all as my own," explained Alex.

"As I was mentioning, you need to have sex with as much women as possible. That's the second promise you need to make."

Jack contemplated on the conditions conditions and asked " why won't your soul return to your body ? if you can use your power to send my soul in your body why can't you do the same for yourself and why did you chose me ?"

"I already tried but it's seems that my soul can't return in my corpse, from my understanding it's because I already died in this world, apparently the world won't allow that the soul of someone dead to return"

Jack couldn't understand and asked " how is it different with me, I'm also dead"

Alex smiled and said " yes you died, but not in my world, you and I are from different world which make me assume that my world might permit that your soul take over my body"

Jack was taken aback by the revelation that there were other worlds beyond Earth, and that he and Alex hailed from different realms. He tried to process this newfound knowledge while attempting to calm his shock.

Alex, noticing Jack's stunned expression, gave him a few moments to collect himself.

"What happens if your world doesn't allow me to take over your body" questioned Jack.

"Well, in this case I guess both of us will ascend to heaven...or hell. In either case it's mean that it's truly the end of the road for us" answered Alex, but then added:

"I don't know about you, but I'm surely not ready to kick the bucket"

"Wait, you said earlier that those conditions are not your last will and now you are saying that you don't want to kick the bucket, so, I'm wondering, what will happen to your soul once I take over your body"

"I will explain it once you decide to accept my offer. So, what will it be? Are you on board or not?"

Jack paused briefly, thinking before responding with unwavering determination, "Yes, I accept."
