There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!

Chapter 63: The Great Hustle of the Thirteen Clans (7)

There is a strong storm rampaging inside Luis’s head as his eyes are nailed at the tall and gangster-looking man in front of him.

He can’t be mistaken. The man’s entire image is the face of Luis Lee. His very own face.

How many times did he lament in front of the mirror the difficulties of finding a ’top’ because of the intimidating visuals that fit perfectly to a thug?

He practically lost count of the times he scared off his booty calls because they thought that Luis would force them to take his ’package’?

It was a horrible experience for both Luis and the poor top who was only looking for a good fuck.

However, this matter is none of Luis’s concern now.

’The question here was why am I facing my past identity’s doppelganger?’ Luis stepped forward trying to get a closer look at the man’s square-shaped face.

If he is in the modern earth then he would have considered this as a sick prank. All he needs to do is wait for someone to jump forward and say "It’s a prank!" and Luis will sucker punch that fucker’s solar plexus for giving him a good laugh.

However, none of that would happen since Luis is in an entirely new world.

He was reincarnated in a place that is surrounded by thick forestry, mystical beasts and hot men with pointy ears that he can’t lay a finger on in the meantime.

’Wait, how did I die in the first place?’ Luis has no recollection of his final moments in the apocalypse. So he has no idea what went wrong.

This matter remained unfathomable for him.

It was a question that he would love to have it answered.

Questions...

’Hold on a second, this should be the Spirit of the Tree of Life, right?’ He finally remembered that he did the Primordial Spirit Communing Art to speak with the Tree of Life in order to ask about a couple of things!

Luis was in a daze as he watched his doppelganger open his mouth as if he was speaking.

At this point, the moon elf lord is deep in his thoughts. Luis is immersed in his inner musings so the Spirit of the Tree of Life closed his mouth.

’Did I somehow end up as the moon elf lord and the Tree of Life?’ Luis rubbed his lower lip with his finger as he descended into deep thinking.

However, that idea didn’t last long. The Tree of Life has been existing since time immemorial. There is no way for that to happen.

It’s only been less than two weeks since his birth.

’Just imagine the time gap in between and it is obvious that it is not chronologically possible,’ he wiped his face with his palm trying to collect himself.

However, his cool flew away upon seeing where he is currently at.

Luis is back in the Ambrian Plateau! He is standing under the lush foliage of the Tree of Life with his doppelganger!

Even the Moon Goddess’ Temple was visible near him.

Luis could see a few priests and servants moving to and fro while holding some wooden crates that probably hold potions that they concocted.

"Holy shit! Why in this world am I here?!" Luis’ voice was raised enough to be considered a yell but strange enough, no one from the temple rushed to meet him.

"Ah, are you done with your reverie, moon elf lord? I know this is unsolicited advice but you should stop letting your mind wander if you are in the middle of something. You will be harmed if you do that in the middle of battle," The Spirit said politely. However, the look on the face of the spirit tells as if it was tired of everything.

It opened its mouth wide then yawned before speaking.

’This is like my photocopy from habits, look and voice!’ Luis thought after seeing the conspicuous dark circles under both eyes.

Indeed. Every detail is copied from A to Z.

"You don’t have to worry about that. My combat instincts and muscle memory is honed to a diabolical level so I can be dazed and still unscathed," Luis then snappily added, a little frantic. "Wait, this is not the issue here. Why am I here? When did I arrive here? I wasn’t supposed to be in this place!"

He should be in the Shane Greenwoods or else the entire Amber Forest will be doomed!

The sprit of the Tree of Life yawned for the nth time. "Ah, moon elf lord. Don’t be so nervous. Your body is still where it should be. Look at yourself."

"That is your spiritual body. You can instantly go back to your body once we are done with our conversation."

"Ah, I see." Luis calmed down and he regained his reason. Right, moon elves are beings of flesh and spirit. Once they reach a specific level of strength and after undergoing rigorous training, they can separate their physical body and spiritual body as they please. And as the powerful moon elf lord whose existence is a big cheat, Luis can do it without sweating it.

So unfair. But he loves the cheat. It simply massages his vanity really well.

Luis turned to look at the Spirit of the Tree of Life and he was assaulted by his own face.

"Why do you look like..." ’The face of my past life’s regret?’ the moon elf lord was supposed to say but he opted not to.

The sun is still high up in the sky so he took time to scrutinize the primordial spirit who mimicked his previous image.

Truthfully speaking, this face of his is not that bad.

Remove the scars and the dark circles that he worked hard overnight, and then he is considered good-looking, at the very least...

Full-pink lips in a square shaped face, even though his nose is partly crooked, it is high and manly.

Luis Lee’s visual from the modern Earth is rough around the edges but it is passable... if he was a top.

Luis Lee as a gong will give a big mafia-daddy energy that even–

’Holy pussy! Did I just thought that my past self is hot?!’

Luis immediately halted his accelerating thoughts as they swerve in a very dangerous direction.

If he goes further Luis doesn’t think that he will remain normal!

Shit.

His past identity’s doppelganger yawned and then answered his question.

"Ah, this? As a spirit of the Tree of Life, I don’t have a specific image. I would only mirror the moon elf lord’s perception of their own self. Hence, I look like this when I am communicating with you. By the way, is it okay to call you as moon elf lord? Since you weren’t named yet."

"That is fine," Luis replied it’s not like he can expect the spirit of Tree of Life to address him as ’my lord’.

The spirit lifted its arm and scratched his short and dark hair. The bulging bicep that served as the product of Luis’ hard life was flexed right in front of his face, "It looks good, right?"

Luis subconsciously lowered his gaze and he met the tiny bumps that were hidden by the black shirt.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Eight abs is all it takes to make Luis forget.

"Yes, It’s deli-," Luis quickly covered his mouth to stop himself from committing a sin.

’Ahhh! Don’t even go there!’ he quickly chastised himself.

He felt like he is the worst pervert in history to lust over his own image.

Not even Narcissus went this far!

It was only the start of his conversation with the Tree of Life but it seems like his energy is seeping out of his body. That he was panting even though he is in spirit form.

This is too unfair!

"I am sorry, Mister Spirit but can you change your form? Maybe into a rabbit or even a centipede just not that image please?"

"Ah, Why?" It yawned once again. The spirit laid his back against the trunk of the Tree of Life, looking all confused.

Luis was stoned for a while and then he reasoned out, "Because it’s ugly."

He did his best to sound as serious as possible, however, it was mercilessly turned down by the spirit of the Tree of Life.

"Ah, you are not entirely honest too, moon elf lord. You seemed to forget that you came out from me and there is a connection between us. So I know a thing or two on how your mind works." It then yawned boredly.

Luis knew that he is somehow busted so even though he is thick faced, his pointy ears radiate a light pink color. "If you knew it then just change it!" He demanded.

However, it just shook its head. "If you want to change the image that I project then you need to change your perspective of yourself."

’Ouch. Not even daring to pull your punches are we?’ The spirit’s statement somehow contains a double meaning.

Luis looked away feeling guilty. Well just a little. Truth be told he hasn’t completely adjusted himself. For him, he is still Luis Lee.

This could also be the reason why he is holding off the Name Proclamation Ceremony. He needed sometime.

"Ehem," The moon elf lord cleared his throat. Luis tried his best to look as if he was in for a business meeting even though it feels awkward.

’Forget that it has your face, Luis, and think of its head as a prawn or shrimp. Just distract yourself and get your purpose done, ASAP!’ Luis whispered as a simple mind conditioning.

"I am not here to discuss anyone’s identity crisis. I am here for two things." He said his face is flat, totally emotionless. Luis successfully channelled his inner Xagrien in him.

Thankfully, his fleeting glances towards that man was deemed to be fruitful.

"I need your help to clear my confusion."

"Sure, what is it?" The spirit asked. "I can answer anything as long as the law of the universe permits me to."

’Law of the Universe?’ Luis tilted his head in confusion. But since time is running out he didn’t dare to ask about it. Instead, he opted to ask the question that has been pressing on him.

"It was about something weird that happened days ago." Luis decided to focus first on the lighter yet more important topic.
