Chapter 14

"Twice? How come?"

"The first curse is that when he gains great power, he will continue to reincarnate until this world is destroyed and in every life, he will die at the hands of someone he didn't know at first. It became the biggest fear in his life and the second curse, when he killed Ruby and sells Ruby's soul to the devil. He wants Ruby to be reincarnated like him, so that in every life, he can meet Ruby, the only woman he has loved all his life."

She was impressed to hear Leo's story, felt that everything was starting to make sense. The Nathan she knew, loved a woman, even though she didn't know who the woman Nathan loved was. But when she looked into Nathan's eyes, she knew that he had been in love with her for a long time.

"What is the second curse he has to accept?" asked Ellen. He wanted to know Charlie's second curse.

"Even if he and Ruby keep reincarnating, they can never be together!"

"W-what?"

"Rather than being called a second curse for Charles, it's more appropriate as a curse for Ruby. In the next life even if they meet, Charles will never be able to get Ruby's love and if he can, he will surely die before his love materializes!"

"H-how did you know the curse that befell the two of them?"

"I told you that I also received a curse. I also continued to reincarnate and every life of my life, I will definitely meet the two of them and in the end I am the cause of Charles' death!"

Elen's tears streamed down her face, she cried silently. If and his mind was so confused because he was forced to hear a very bitter truth. Elen knew that Keith was telling the truth, it was clear from the look in his eyes that there was so much sadness he couldn't express.

"S-so how did you and Charlie get reborn as non-human beings?"

"We are not reborn as non-human beings. Every time we are reincarnated we will be reborn as normal humans without superpowers. The only things we always carry with us in each of our lives are fragments of memories from his previous life. Charles died 80 years ago and then he was resurrected as a vampire. Before his death, realizing that he would soon be killed, he decided to kill his teacher, Mr Robinson and sell his soul to the devil so that he could resurrect as a vampire without having to be reborn as a human."

"Could it have happened?"

"Yes, the proof is that he managed to do it! He rose again as a blood-sucking creature in the hope that he could break the curse that befell him for thousands of years. He has lived for 80 years as a vampire because I as a human can't possibly defeat him!"

"Then what happened to you?"

"I was destined to continue to kill him, whether I wanted to or not. When I was reborn as Keith, I didn't know that Charles had made a pact with the devil the third time. But when Grandpa died and I saw the condition of his body, I knew that Charles had killed Grandpa. and I know that he was not reborn as a human and still retains his form as an immortal vampire!"

"B-but how did you become a werewolf, Keith?"

"I met Mr. Claude and told him all about it. He decided to help me on the condition that I must help him to regain his territory!"

Sera and Leo stood face to face, after a long story. Neither of them started the conversation again. They were both lost in their own thoughts. she who feels devastated after knowing the story about Nathan and Leo who feel they have to be responsible for the big problem that befell her. She knows that she is just a victim of Charlie's ambition to avenge his enormous revenge and also the curse he received.

"You said that Nathan the werewolf and the monster were two different beings, what did you mean?" She asked. She still doesn't understand about this one problem.

"I can't say they're two different beings and I can't say they're the same thing either. It's like two bodies in one soul!"

"Two bodies in one soul? What does that mean?"

"Doppelgangers!"

"Doppergangers?"

"The creeping monster that killed grandfather and the passengers on the ship was Charles' doppelganger. It was a monster created from his last life before he was resurrected as a vampire!"

"M-meaning, that monster is the ghost of Charles from his 79th life? I see?"

"Yes, every time he is killed, he will create a monster created from the grudge he has. However, that monster will disappear if the new Charles is reborn as a human. However, because of the last ritual he performed, it kept the monster alive. exists to this day because he was resurrected as a vampire, a creature that is said to live eternally, it makes him unable to reincarnate as a human before his vampire form disappears!"

"Oh my God, I can't believe this! This is absolutely absurd, Keith!"

"In this world there are so many things that cannot be explained logically, Elen! Our ancestors were created 500 years ago and now we are here to continue this terrible life. We live in groups, marry and have children. We are also forced to mingle with humans so that they don't suspect our existence and still think of us as a terrible fairy tale!" Claude said. Claude's words made Elen begin to realize that the problem she was facing was not an ordinary problem that she could solve on her own. This problem involves many parties because he has been trapped into the circle of life of two humans who continue to be reincarnated.

"I see! Leo, can we go home now? My head is spinning, I want to rest!" Elen asked. He wanted to rest his mind for a moment. Receiving so much information at one time made him feel depressed.

"Alright, we're going home now! Mr. Claude, looks like we have to go home. Then see you later!"
