My life revolved around Holocene. She was all I could have hoped for. I never cheated on her. I never wanted to hurt her. I loved her. I thought we had this perfect relationship. I thought we were soulmates. I thought we had everything that we could ever want. I thought I knew her. Boy, was I wrong.
My life changed in a big way. I was murdered by Holocene and my best friend, Toraku. They were dating behind my back. My best friend! How unlucky. The worst thing is that they decided to kill me instead of her breaking up with me. Holocene was crazy, and this affected Toraku as well. His whole mindset was based on Holocene’s mindset. He fell in love with her. That’s how Holocene convinced him to take me out since I was a love rival to him. I never knew about this. I thought he was just good friends with Holocene. Not that he was secretly dating her behind my back. They dumped my body into the nearby river and acted as like nothing happened.
Hearing what happened to me, the god Achilles decided to step in and give me a second chance. He told me (well really my soul since I didn’t have a body anymore) that if I kill Holocene and help him send her to hell, he would grant me a new body. I didn’t have to kill Toraku, but Achilles would be fine with taking him as well. Once my job is done I will leave my body and return to heaven where I will reside until I’m reincarnated into a better life than what I got in this life.
Achilles granted me a new body and identity. I now go as Kiran Salvatore, and I’m a traveling merchant. My new body was similar to my last one, just with a new face. When I returned to earth, I shortly met Vulcan who I bought swords from. It doesn’t take him long for him to realize my true identity after I try to make a move on Holocene but fail. He knew my past self, and after I reveal that I know a saying that only Vulcan told me, he calls me out, which leads to me revealing everything. Everything I’m telling you, Tracy.
I turned to Tracy who captured me after finding out that I was reincarnated. She was curious, and so she kidnapped me and brought me to her apartment where she forced me to tell her everything. Now satisfied Tracy unlocks the chains she put on me. She then tells me to get out and slams the door in my face as soon as I left the door frame.
“Well… let’s see what’s open. Maybe the nearby fast food place is open.” I said to myself.
Part TwoKiran went to meet with Vulcan as he promised him a sword. Kiran went to Vulcan’s stall where Vulcan laid the weapon on a table. “As promised. The Sword of Blood. The sword of chaos. The sword that will end up killing Holocene. The Dragon Breath Sword.” Vulcan announced. The sword was black with dark red streaks. “Is it sharp enough to stab through flesh?” Kiran asked. “Jesus, kid. I had this grand announcement about my best piece of work yet all you care about is murdering Holocene.” Vulcan said with disgust. “Okay well I’m on my way,” Kiran said picking up the sword. “Where are you going?” He asked. “To finish my mission,” Kiran replied walking out of the stall. “That boy. It is really okay to give him such a weapon for revenge?” Vulcan questioned himself. He was unsure if he should be helping Kiran with his mission.
After letting go of Kiran, Tracy stayed in her home praying. Now armed with the knowledge of gods being real, she plans to communicate with the god of luck to help fulfill her wants and needs. In order to communicate with the gods, sacrifices are needed. Due to this requirement, Tracy is not able to get in touch with the god of luck. Kiran’s sacrifice is Holocene and Achilles got an interest in Kiran’s story. Achilles granted Kiran a new life to help quell his revenge.
Kiran perched himself on a roof that overlooked Holocene’s apartment. His sword rested on his back ready to be unleashed. Toraku was standing outside the building smoking a cigarette and staring into space. Kiran watched as Toraku smoked his cigarette and went back into the apartment. Kiran moved onto the fire escape to see Holocene talking with Toraku through their kitchen window. Kiran couldn’t hear what they were saying, but by their stances, he could tell Toraku was following Holocene’s every order. Toraku was going to do whatever she wanted him to do. Kiran watched over the two as they continued with their night until they went to sleep. Kiran was seeing their movement and trying to figure out when Holocene would dump Toraku and go for her next boyfriend. He noticed that another guy was lurking around the building and Holocene was getting up from her bed to meet up with the guy. Kiran shook his head and decided to leave the fire escape and return home.
InfiltrationKiran returned to their home. The window allowed for Kiran to see into the apartment and there he noticed the two were still awake. It was already midnight. With some help from Tracy Kiran was able to get blueprints of the building. The blueprints tell of an entrance through the roof where Kiran could get in the kitchen. Keeping the sword tightly next to him, Kiran entered the apartment complex. He hurried up the stairs passing Holocene and Toraku’s apartment. He made it to the roof and looked for the air ducts that would take him to the kitchen. He found the air ducts and went through them trying his best to go through them as quietly as he could. He finally got to the vent that opened up to the kitchen. All he needed to do is jump down and kill Holocene is her sleep. Now all he needed to do it wait until both of them fall asleep.
“Hey, Toraku! Can you do me a favor?” Holocene asked.
“What is it?” He asked
“There was… some mean looking guys were harassing me. Mind… taking care of them for me?” She asked while seducing him Clearly it was her “woman” charm that was forcing Toraku’s hand.
“Uh, y-yeah of course babe,” Toraku responded. “Where can I find them?” He asked.
“They were at the gas station we passed earlier. It was the cashier and attendant I think.” She said.
“Okay, I’ll take care of them.” He told her with a confident smile.
“What an idiot.” thought Kiran. Toraku grabbed a gun and a knife and headed outside. Two minutes later after a painful silence, Holocene pulls out her phone and calls someone. The person she was trying to call picks up and they start to talk with Kiran still hiding in the air ducts.
“He left the building already. I sent him to the gas station to rough up the workers. You can come over.” Holocene said. She then waited as she heard the person’s reply.
“If you really want to become my number one then…” She started. “You either kill him or lock him up. I prefer if you ended him as he won’t be able to mess with our love.” She told the person. “Come on Mason. I already set him up. He’s off assaulting the workers. All you need to do is make him kill one of the workers.” She tried convincing the man on the other side of the phone. “If he’s gone then you’ll become my number one right? It will all work out so don’t fret about it.” She said. She waited a couple of seconds before ending the call. “Let’s hope this guy actually got money. I need new clothes and my fingernails done.” She said aloud. “Man this guy is worse than the last. At least Kane gave me whatever I wanted. Toraku can barely afford this one hundred thousand dollar apartment. It’s time I get rid of him. I’m bored with him already. He’s too obedient, there’s simply no fun with him anymore, just like how Kane was.” She ranted. “She killed me for her own selfish reasons?” Kiran thought. He lost his life because she was “bored” with him. “It’s time to kill her now!” He thought. He was furious now. His life was discarded like an empty wrapper. Now, he’s ready to act.

Hello, this is Nick Venom and I’m here to thank you for reading my tenth release for “The Explosion 2019” event. The following title is for the next installment into the “Second Chance” series.
Second Chance 4: Murder & Freedom
Freedom & MysteryToraku entered the apartment. His hands were soaked with blood. Holocene turned around. She shrieked. “What did you do?” She shouted. I need to call the police then he’ll be set for murder, she thought.
“You asked me to take care of him.” He said frantically. “I dropped the weapon. I u-uh don’t know w-where I p-put it.”
“Go find it!” She shouted. Toraku hesitated before rushing out of the apartment. Holocene laughed. “What an idiot.” She said. She dialed 9-1-1 into her phone. She called 9-1-1 and waited.
“911, what is your emergency?” The radio operator asked.
“My boyfriend just murdered somebody.” She said in a fake frantic tone.
“Are you okay? Where is he now?”
Holocene hesitated before answering. “He’s not here. He’s at the nearby gas station.”
“Where do you live?”
“2087 S Brock Place.
