"well this is the end huh.." said a young man in his early twenties with a lazy tone in his voice
although he was about to die he didn't have any real fear of death or did he have any regrets- other than not being able to find out whether that one character in his favourite anime would eventually become the pirate king, but since he was about to die anyway he guessed it wouldnt matter in a moments notice..
he...or should I say 'sammy young' didn't have any parents due to them having lost their lives earlier on in his childhood nor did he have other close relatives or friends to speak of so no one would really miss him; this was due to him being a neet..a shut in of sorts, because of his social anxiety and the fear of being looked at by others that had developed a short while after the deaths of his parents. due to the previous mentioned problems sammy had secluded himself into his home after he turned sixteen and since kept to himself as much as possible besides the simultaneous trip to the shop or signing a package that would occasionally be delivered to the door. yet funnily enough on the one day he decided to overcome these 'problems' by taking a nice walk through a mountainous nature path frequently visited by tourists and locals, he had after going down a rather steep trail tripped and suddenly fallen off the edge plummeting towards a rocky bottom that resembled the rock formations you may find on the roofs of caves and realised that he was about to die, as it was inevitable and sammy had realised he was about to die he decided to just let nature take its course and as such his body that had been falling since his footing had gone causing this whole predicament had now collided with the rocks below. blood scattered across the rocks accompanied by bits of skin and brain tissue and his shredded body.. however sammy felt no pain, actually he could see the whole of his body that was falling just moments ago and it's current sorry state and then suddenly all was white.
"Oh?.. would this be heaven?" sammy questioned in the same lazy tone he was using before his death looking around not exactly believing he would get an answer, yet he did.
"no young soul this is not the heaven you speak of, such a place does not exist nor does what is referred to as hell by the souls from earth" spoke a voice that could only be described as all mighty one, it was soft and reliable however it did not possess a specific gender like quality in it's tone of voice however disregarding the last point this voice is one that could only be considered god like, a grade just above that of Morgan Freemans voice.
"ah.. well I didn't really believe in any of that anyway so I'm relieved that I'm not in an awkward situation where I'd have to suddenly believe something I hadn't believed whilst living... although if you do not mind me asking, who are you? and where am I if not heaven or hell?" sammy said in a more plight tone of voice without a trace of the lazy one he had been using up until this point.
"...who am I?" the voice asked and then continued speaking, " I am a god, more specifically the god of youthful guidance, the one who guides all the young souls who die early deaths in life.. my name is flow and you are currently in the land of the young dead" flow answered in a calm voice filled with kindness and yet also sorrow most likely to the fact that they were having to guide another lost soul who had died far too young..hundreds... thousands came each day however each one bruaght flow a great sense of sadness by their deaths.
"I see...flow I apologise if this comes across as rude but.. I've never heard of you?" sammy said as in questioning the words of the devine being that he was conversing with.
a great sigh filled the white space before flow started to speak again however they had no change in their tone of voice " I am a god who has only ever been seen by the dead youth who have died early in life as such I am not known to anyone other than these people whom I have guided to have fulfilling lives... however lost soul I must ask for you to step up a notch and become what is frequently known as a 'Hero'.. due to the arrival known as a demon king in a certain world that I watch over.." their voice had still remained the same however had grew some what distant near the end of what flow was speaking about.
sammy looked around confused by the words of flow and then went on to question why it would be him having to fill this role and what about his fears of people and how weak he was, however flow apparently had something in mind and was about to explain..
"first I have upon you arriving fixed your mental state so people no longer bring you any fear in any way what so ever and about you being weak.. well I shall grant you the power to-" flow had been about to explain what power was about to be given to sammy however they were cut off by sammy holding up his hand as if wanting to ask a quick question..
"would you mind if I pick this power ?" he asked flow with a serious look in his eyes..
