Nameless King

"Hmm? Haven't we had this conversation before?" Wain asked as he plunged his fork into the lasagna.

"Well... You're right, but not quite. I spent hours telling you about my life before the souls, then you started talking about yourself, but it wasn't more than a couple of minutes, and you kept walking away from the important questions!" Eva exclaimed as she slapped the table.

Wain looked at her for a while, as though he was thinking whether to agree or not, then he picked up a knife, cut off a piece, and said, "No. I don't want to talk about it."

"What...?!" Eva exclaimed with an angry look.

Wain didn't react, he just put a piece of lasagna in his mouth and began to chew it slowly, enjoying the taste.

"Damn, this lasagna is pretty good. Good for you for bringing us here, you definitely have a preference." Wain said in a serious voice while swinging his fork down and up.

"Please... Tell me about your past..." Eva muttered with folded palms together.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Wain with a pitying look. Eva looked like she was ready to cry at any moment, something no one could resist.

"No. That doesn't make sense." Wain shrugged before continuing to eat.

As Eva heard it her face instantly came back to normal, then her eyes became sharp as blades and her aura intensified. Her hand turned into a blur as she grabbed Wain by the chin and with a deadly look said, "Bitch either you tell me about your past now or I'll make you say it, I fucking swear."

"Well, well, decided to use your other trick?" Wain smirked, "Okay, it sounds like it's really important to you, but don't get your hopes up for much, my story isn't particularly interesting."

Eva calmed down as she muttered, "It's not that critical. The most important thing for me is to learn more about you, I can't keep guessing forever, you know?"

"Ah... Then we'll definitely need a bottle of wine." Wain said while shaking his head before calling for a waiter.

...

There was a bottle of wine and two filled glasses in front of them, but Eva didn't touch it as she waited for Wain to start his story.

"I don't really like to talk about myself and especially about my past, so consider it an exclusive." Wain said before taking a sip.

"Hmm? Was your life before the apocalypse that bad?" Eva asked with a worried look.

"No, or rather I'm not sure anymore. I've thought about the past several times, and every time I keep having this strange feeling that gets stronger and clearer each time." Wain muttered in an uncertain voice.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Eva asked while in confusion.

"Maybe it's a psychological trick or the tricky workings of our brains, but it seems to me like it wasn't very real. I mean, it's been life with its problems and accomplishments, but only now do I feel really alive." Wain uttered with a thoughtful look while staring at the wine in her glass.

"I don't know what your life was like, but there definitely weren't any dangers in the form of monsters and different races and territories before, right? I could say that I feel the same way because now my life is much brighter than before because there are more opportunities, but it's much more dangerous." Eva said in a serious manner.

"Well, you're probably right, but I still can't shake this feeling... Everything happened too abruptly... Once I got my soul and was in this world, it was like everything fell into place." Wain muttered.

He thought about it so he didn't notice how wide Eva's eyes were open. Her jaw practically dropped to the ground as if she'd heard something incredible.

"Wain... Did you come from another world?" Eva whispered so that no one but Wain could hear her.

"Shit..." Wain slapped his palm on his forehead, "I guess it's too late to try to hide it somehow, isn't it?"

"Yeah... I don't even know what to say... I'm just in shock, but for some reason, it doesn't sound like something incredible right now. I'm too used to Voids and portals and the other stuff like that." Eva muttered while shaking her head.

"Something like the apocalypse happened in my home world too, so I ended up alone, I should have died, but I was transported to this world, that's all I can say about that." Wain uttered as he shrugged in a careless manner.

"I see... Well, I hope someday you find out why it happened." Eva spoke in a quiet voice.

"Yes... I too. It would make my life easier, or at least clearer." Wain said as he took a sip of wine.

"I wasn't expecting to hear that, but we've strayed away from the main topic again. Tell me, I want to know about your past." Eva said with a serious look.

"Sure. My childhood was not easy, I would even say it was terrible. I was born in a slum and the first thing I remember is someone throwing me a dry piece of bread, it was dirty and dusty, but I pounced on it like a dog." Wain uttered in a calm voice as his eyes grew cold as glaciers.

"Oh damn... What about your parents?" Eva asked in a worried manner as she took his hand.

"I don't know. I never saw them, and no matter how many times I tried to find out how I ended up in the slums, I got nothing, it was like they never existed." Wain said as he waved his hand, "Honestly, though, I don't care. I don't want anything to do with the bastards that threw their kid, in the trash. They're the worst of the worst and there's no excuse for them."

There was silence for a while. Eva wondered if her parents had died during the apocalypse that was a tragedy for her, but that day she realized that some did not have parents on their first day in the world, on the most difficult and terrible day.
