AUTHORS NOTE: Well hello everyone, fledgling author here I hope you are doing a-okay these past days. I know I've caught up with much-needed sleep. I'm reposting this after some little changes I wanted to do so for those who bookmarked I hope you're not disappointed. Please feel free to leave any criticism you'd like. It'll help me improve this hobby I've started. So please go easy on me and keep in mind the story won't get to the good part till episode 2 probably. The dieing part is always the boring part. But it's needed to explain.
________________________________________________As Lucy looked around the galaxy like room around her, she was left in confusion. But just as it suddenly appeared, it left just as quick and was instead replaced by anger.
She died. But that didn't bother her as much. No, the problem was the way she died.
For most of her life, she had been in foster care, only having her favorite show T.W.D for comfort. There were other shows but none were quite as this particular one.
So she prayed every day, wishing, hoping that she could one day have a bond as strong as they showed in the show. A bond between family and even strangers that eventually became their family too.
Eventually, maybe god heard her because after so long praying. A family finally chose her.
She was adopted by The Birshas, and after a very long time of feeling lonely, it felt as if there was finally a place she could call her home.
However, the day before her thirteenth birthday, The Birshas used her in one of their rituals as a sacrifice.
Now I know what you might be thinking didn't you find something suspicious? Wasn't their house full of creepy stuff? Well, the answer to that is simple, there wasn't any. They looked perfectly normal as you or me.
This lead her to feel betrayed. By the very people, she had started opening up too. Who she considered her saviors.
Yet it turned out her so-called saviors were two-faced butchers and she was just a lamb at the slaughterhouse. Taking care of the lamb until it trusted them, so it would follow them into the bloody building without making any noise of defiance.
She felt so foolish. Was she so desperate for affection that it blinded her from that evil glint in their eyes every time they'd see her?
Even now she wasn't angry at them. She was angry with herself. How could she ever trust someone so quickly when she knew how cruel the world could be.
Of course, it happened because she was too innocent and trusting of others.
She hadn't even experienced real love. The warmth of someone who loves you unconditionally and will do anything for you. Yet, humanity was cruel and she died in such a away.
Why did the heavens take her so soon?!
She didn't blame God for her death. No, it was the opposite, she was still trusting them. Trying to convince herself that humans have to take responsibility for their actions or deal with what life throws at them instead of blaming someone else for it.
As she regretted and wallowed in her pain, a voice was heard in her head.
[Hello Lucielle! My name is Thrae, also known as the person in charge of the earth, or god in human terms. Currently, I cannot show myself or else you'll be so overwhelmed by my presence your soul could possibly explode.]
Lucy's ears perked up.
(Wait What!? Can you repeat that so I know I am not going crazy.)
she replied back while ignoring the part where she could possibly explode... what an airhead.
[Dear Lucy, you needn't act as if you have no idea what's going on. From what I've gathered from looking into your memories. I know that you love reading all those isekai stories.]
(Oh? so that's what's happening here. But you know it's one thing to read it and another to experience it for myself. Anyways, I understand just tell me where I'm going and who I'll become please.)
Lucy understood what was going on and choose to keep it short. It helped to know a lot about the genre and only hoped that in this new world she could have a real loving family.
Now, she no longer regrets her death. After all, maybe she couldn't find a loved one in this world but maybe she can in the next and this time she swore to not trust so blindly no matter how much she craves affection.
[Well Lucy your dream might not be that far from coming true. You see it's very lonely being a god. I've been alone for trillions of years and all I want is a child of my own to love. I know you understand my feelings of loneliness and the need to love and be loved by someone else. From your memories, I know. So because of this, I called your soul here to ask if you would like to become my child?]
[If you do accept then I will turn you into my flesh and blood. In other terms, you will be half angel and half demon sort of like Ying & Yang. Sadly enough though you won't be able to access your full powers until you turn 18. But It's all okay in return you'll be able to use a small percentage of your powers in the meanwhile. Plus I'll give you lots of benefits to ensure your survival. Furthermore, I'll transport you to The Walking Dead world.]
Lucy was in a daze.
Really T.W.D? This is like a dream come true. I can change so many things for the better and protect Rick, plus every one of his family! Even gaining a family member too, Thrae? Was it. I'm sure he'll make a good Papa and me the best child. I Promise. But on the other hand, how would he make me his flesh and blood?
At that moment Lucy made up her mind, resolving herself to voice out her decisions and questions... Except Thrae spoke, before she could.
[*mumbles* of course, I'll be the best Papa.]
[*awkward cough* Well for that matter you mustn't worry I've prepared a body for you already. All you need to do is transfer over. I am willing to give you anything you need or want and in return please treat me as your father and call me Papa~]
Lucy was not faced by him reading her mind. It's a common occurrence in this genre you know? So instead she answered him.
(Umm...Pa-pa? *Blushing* well I can't call you that right off the bat. I've never had a Dad so it feels a little weird to call you that when I just met you. So instead let me call you Rae that way It'll be a little more comfortable. Please?)
[Well now look at you, I know all about how you are from your memories but seeing it in real life really fulfills my immortal soul. Having a child is the best! Acting all cute, innocent, and concerned for others. I should've asked you to be my daughter for a few seconds earlier!!!]
[Ummm.... hehe looks like I went a little overboard. But to answer your question, I would be more than happy for you to call me Rae if that'll make you more comfortable. Except in return, you have to allow me to call you Lulu. *sigh* it's too bad I can't go with you to the mortal realm a shame indeed but rest assured I'll keep watch and protect you. We can still talk if you pray.]
(Ah ok, that's an easy request. Then now that we've gone through everything I need to know, may we go now? Oh and before we leave can I make a request.)
[Yes, of course, ask away.]
(Can you limit my powers to only being a little above average from a human. I don't want to be considered a monster or something. May I also have a backpack if it's not much of a bother. That looks normal but has an unlimited storage space where time stops? I think that'll be everything I'll need to survive.)
[Ok then I'll limit your powers. However, if you're ever in a life and death situation they'll activate until your safe. As for the backpack, it's doable but I'll have to fill it up with supplies if you want it. You can't just go without anything so don't be stubborn and for your own safety your next body will know lots of fighting styles.]
(But that'll still be too strong, No? Besides, I'm only 13 wouldn't it shock Rick and his family if a little ninja keeps on taking out many objects out of a backpack, that could never possibly fit in there altogether, to begin with. Wouldn't they be wary of me? What if instead yo-)
Before Lucy could finish her rambling Thrae quickly made a portal appear. Anxious to not hear another word from her or else he would have no choice but to listen to her request.
The portal resembled a black hole that quickly engulfed her and started sending her to the next world.
She was taken by surprise and only got to say one last thing before she was completely engulfed in darkness.
(This thing is too scary!!!)
She said with watery eyes.
Which made Thrae feel as if his heart clench. He grabbed at his chest as if in pain.
[Now I feel bad... I need to apologize as soon as I can.]
