"Do you really plan on killing yourself for answers about your past life?" the ghost-like voice asked, making Kishio let out a deep sigh as he released his grip on the piece of glass, it finally replied, the parasite finally spoke.
"Where am I? And why am I here?" Kishio ignored the parasite's question as he posed questions of his own, he had many questions he wished to ask.
"If you insist on finding out this much. I'll answer only three of your questions, you'll have to prove worthy if you wish to find out more" the ghost-like voice replied, Kishio could tell the parasite was serious, he began to think just how high the level of his parasite was, he had better think his questions out carefully.
"Where am I? And explain it in full details" Kishio asked, elaborating afraid the parasite would just say a few words and purposely miss out important details, he couldn't see the parasite, but he knew it could hear him.
"This is a similar plane to the one you are from. Simply put, it's just a similar world to the world you are from…that's two requests." The ghost-like voice answered.
On hearing the last part Kishio's eyes bulged, he didn't think his neutral statement of an elaborate answer would count as two questions.
He opened his mouth annoyed, almost wanting to ask 'why', but after a thought he closed his mouth, he would be giving away the chance for his last question out of anger.
Pondering over his last question, he wondered, should he ask about why the parasite had brought him to this world or why didn't it just bring him to the former world or about his family…after a while of pondering he finally decided.
"Oh great parasite god. Could you show me how my family's doing" his tone feigning one of respect and regard while his expression was half-serious and with half a hint of sarcasm.
He didn't actually believe the parasite to be a god level parasite, that was the highest level of a parasite being, he was simply hoping on getting the parasite to feel flattered so it could reveal more.
"Your family…" The parasite was speaking but it suddenly stopped. It seemed like it had just heard Kishio's words clearly as it's tone and next words took a complete roundabout. "So you finally decide to respect the god inside you, you vermin. Since you asked with respect from a god, I'll tell you. Hmmm" the parasite responded before thinking back a bit.
"Showing you your family is a huge energy consuming task as we are in different planes." The parasite added.
Kishio's eyes widened in shock, the parasite just claimed itself to be a god level parasite, he didn't know if he was hearing wrongly or the parasite was just bluffing, but thinking about his body's state, the constant weak feeling, waking up from death with a rare kogami, the parasite claims just might be plausible.
"If it was any other parasite god, such a task might have been impossible for them, for for such a mighty god like me, your request is but trivial" Kishio almost rolled his eyes on hearing the parasite's words, he almost couldn't believe the parasite was blowing his own horn, but he wanted to see for himself how his family was doing.
"Fine. It will be a short glance, so pay full attention," the voice said. Without waiting for a reply, a dark mist began to swirl before Kishio, the mid-region of the mist, started to swirl.
Soon, it slowly began to clear out, he could see a woman sitting at a desk, her forehead covered with wrinkles as her face looked to be drained while she struggled with the paperwork in front of her, her face looked devoid of sleep as even her movement appeared sluggish, she slowly turned her head to the side and she could see a young girl looking around the same age as Yue there, on seeing the young girl the woman's determination seemed to rekindle as turned her gaze to a picture at the side of the desk, it was split into one of Kishio and his father, a figure suddenly burst through the door, it seemed like the figure wanted to say something but then the mist began to fade.
"No, wait," Kishio stepped forward subconsciously stretching forth his hand, as like he wanted to reach out and march out of this world, multiple emotions swirled in his mind, that was his mother, older, thinner.
He felt cursed by the world, after making a promise to his dying father to take care of the family he had also left them.
"Opening a connection between two different planes is a very tasking thing to do, especially as you were just reincarnated crossing the two planes, you can feel it too, the constant weak feeling your body is feeling." The parasite god explained but once again never explained the matter entirely.
Kishio understood though, the parasite seemed more open, he didn't want to annoy the parasite accidentally, he wondered if he should pose the question he had in mind, and ultimately he did "Who are you?"
"I am Uragami. The death god" the parasite that called itself the death god, Uragami replied.
Kishio's heart almost skipped a beat on hearing the parasite god's title, it sounded a bit intimidating, he began to wonder how did this so called death god bring him to this plane, he tried posing other questions, but received no reply, he knew Uragami had decided not to answer such questions.
Even if it called itself the death god, it should have no way of bringing someone that was dead back to life or didn't he die?
Did he just go unconscious and his body was stolen by Uragami and brought here, he had no way of knowing for now, he was just making guesses.
Kishio suddenly remembered the aura-like power he had used, it had become a skill for him.
He remembered parasite holders usually got the basic information of any new skill they acquired from their parasites, the information usually just got dumped in their head as if part of their natural knowledge, developing the skill and efficient use in combat simply fell down to the user to discover.
He looked at the table at the side, dark aura slowly enshrouded his right hand "Wither" Kishio mumbled softly, he decided to test out the skill, as Kishio's hand made contact with wooden table, a very low hissing sound could be heard and faster than the eyes could follow, the table crumbled into grey dust, Kishio felt a little amount of energy enter his body from the crumbled table through his kogami but it was so minimal, it felt almost non-existent.
Kishio suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him 'I forgot how energy draining this skill is' he thought to himself as he stumbled back a bit before going unconscious.
"Big brother, big brother" Kishio slowly opened his eyes, he could hear a little girl's voice call out to him, his chest felt heavy, "ouch" Kishio playfully exclaimed as he opened his eyes to see Yue sitting on his chest and using her little fists to hit him.
"Yue what…"
"Big brother, you really like to sleep don't you? Don't sleep again, come and take me out" Yue's voice interrupted Kishio as her big eyes looked into Kishio's.
Kishio looked in the direction of the door, it seems he had forgotten to lock the door the previous night "Where's Yanran?" Kishio asked a bit confused why the little girl wasn't with her mother.
"Mom went off to work. I told her I'll spend the day with big brother and she agreed" Yue answered smiling brightly displaying, she seemed overly excited.
"Okay Yue, get up" Kishio said softly to the little girl as he stood up from the floor, he wondered what he was going to do with the little girl, he was often busy in his own world that he never really spent time with his sister but regardless he still missed.
A thought suddenly drifted into his mind, could it be possible that the mother and daughter here are his family on this plane, if it was true it would explain the feeling of familiarity he felt with them, like he had met them and known them for a long time at the same time it felt like he didn't really know them.
"Big brother, hurry up. Yue is waiting for you outside" Yue said as she left the room, her steps mixed with skips indicating how happy she was.
