Chapter 2: I have fully comprehended the Dao of Bullshit
In my second life, I was reborn as a human being, a truly disgusting species.
Never have I ever seen a being look so ugly.
I was apparently born in a middle-class family since birth I showed extreme intelligence which made everyone hail me as a prodigy.
I was also very introverted.
Reason?
No way am I going to talk to an entire line of species who are not even 1% of my age!!
While I was growing up, people, kids would call me a chunnibyo, a chunnibyo is a person who thinks he is a character from a series or has a complex.
Due to my original attitude, I was called a delusional man. People would sigh from time to time while staring at me saying that even Einstein was crazy.
"..."
Nevermind I wouldn't be able to explain to them nor did I care to do so.
Growing up as a human this time, it was quite a trauma for me.
Can you imagine how powerless I felt?
Just a second ago I was one of the strongest existences equivalent to the strongest in the Celestial Realm and then the very next second I was an utter piece of shit.
I had no magic.
I had no bloodline limit.
I had no body constitution.
I had no spiritual roots.
In all?
I was trash.
Or maybe even that is a compliment.
Anyway, so this is how my story proceeded.
Even if I was powerless I was still not ready to give in hence I started to focus on the stuff for which I was famous in my previous life.
When I was in school, some kids once tried to bully me.
Outcome?
Legs dislocated and hands thoroughly crushed.
People called me a monster. Did I care? No way.
My parents disowned me as the violence continued with other people also, but it was in no way my fault.
If someone provokes and attacks me then I am not a saint to sit back and let them bully me.
The good effects of my life as a human was that my narcissism toned down a bit, not a lot but it still toned down.
Why so?
I couldn't even bear to look at my own human face.
About arrogance? I never really had arrogance, I believe that arrogance is for the weak, it's a countermeasure to protect their feeble minds.
Instead of arrogance, one should have confidence, at least that's what I believe.
What I had deduced in my time as a human was that I was surely in a parallel world or maybe a different dimension since no other species existed, the entire planet was filled with filthy humans.
To pass my time I would busk on the streets while playing the piano on the sidewalk.
If you are asking if I was living on the streets then my answer is yes.
One day a kind-looking human who was surely harboring greed took me in his wing, apparently, he was a music producer.
Like that, my journey to becoming the world's greatest pianist started, I could play all the instruments perfectly funnily enough.
Well, that was just my side-job, the other job of mine stemmed from the dark side of the world, I would accept assassination mission, to be truthful, even though I was human, it was still quite easy for me to come out at the top as the strongest human.
Putting aside the two jobs, I was also a very well-known doctor, one of my greatest skills as a fairy king back in my previous life was that I was especially good at acupuncture.
Although I couldn't bring out its full extent of power due to me being human and having no ounce of spiritual energy, it was still plenty enough.
I think it wouldn't be a short statement to say that I indirectly ruled the world.
Oh shit, my narcissism is showing up, don't worry I can control it... I think.
I mean rulers of counties, presidents, prime ministers would send their daughters to seduce me. When that didn't work they would send their wives.
Hah! Do you think I would fall for that? Cuck Bastards!
This is not a statement that would fall short, after all, even Jim Kong Un did his best to please me, sending all his daughters and wives.
One thing I had to give him respect was for the fact that he was a harem king!
All the world leaders made a conference specifically for me, to curry favor.
Their dilemma?
Trying to find a wife for me.
At that moment in the conference when everyone was going through the list of top 100 beauties, a man voiced out his opinion.
"Is he maybe gay?"
Thus it came to the point of sending gay men to me.
Result?
All the world leaders dead.
Who is the killer?
I don't think there is any need to ask.
As I said before, the entire human world was already in my hands, but even for me, it was too unstable to control especially when I didn't have my previous strength.
Hence, war broke out, marking the start of World War 3.
While the war was going on, the reason behind it... me... was slurping on cup noodles while reading webnovels.
My only hobby in the human realm excluding out, music, painting, chess was watching anime or read manhwas or web novels.
While I was reading my novel I came across a very disturbing line, due to which it resulted in me coughing.
My coughing resulted in me choking upon my cup-noodles.
And my choking resulted in death.
"..."

I opened my eyes in confusion as I saw the many people in the banquet hall.
Where am I?
I couldn't help but ask myself.
Right when I was about to take a closer look and observe the place, a huge amount of pain struck my mind.
Clutching my forehead I fell onto the ground rolling a bit, soft groans managed to escape my mouth.
Finally, after two minutes, the pain disappeared. Still clasping the head in two hands, I tried to stand up, only to wobble on occasions.
My hands involuntary went towards my face as I rushed towards the pond which was beside me.
Long silver goldilocks fell on my cheeks while the rest was tied up in a neat pony-tail. My skin was pale, it was like the very reflection of the moon. giving a nice contrast to my silver hair.
I stared into my eyes that I could see reflecting from the pond.
They were violet amethyst in color, almost divine looking like stars in the darkness of the black night.
My eyes almost got watery as I stared at my own reflection.
Yes!
This is how I looked in my first life!
The only difference seems to be that I possess a younger body of myself.
Pond- check, hot body- check!
Isn't this like the tale of Narcissus??
I am not allowed to look at my reflection or else I will get addicted to it!!
I have finally able to cure myself in my human life!!
I won't let myself have any weaknesses!!
Sitting beside the pond I closed my eyes, in order to sort my new memories and old ones.
The immense pain that I felt earlier was apparently the memories of the original owner of this body.
Quite odd that the original owner looker exactly like me... it's as if the Gods were doing it on purpose.
Well, I have met God, so it surely wasn't him.
After a few minutes, I finally was able to sort out all my memories.
Opening my eyes I stared into the scenery which was composed of lanterns with golden flames and greenery all beside it.
Near my legs was a frosty but warm pond, my legs involuntarily approached the pond, soaking them in it.
My conscience had cleared a bit, and many things had rushed to me, questions and answers both in harmony.
The peaceful wind was in euphony with the chirping of the insects and the fleeting of the owls.
Peaceful I felt myself in an extremely tranquil state.
It was like as if nothing could affect me, fully calm.
My eyes once opened shut close, only to be fluttered open. with a new light in them.
My name in this life was Irakiel Aplistia Mammon, I was apparently a member of the Greed Sin family, one of the seven sin demon families.
Yes, my name is Irakiel, the same name as my first life, I missed it a dear lot I couldn't lie about that.
Whether it was a coincidence or a script, I knew one thing for sure.
Every end is the start of another beginning.
And this one would be the best beginning ever!
