Chereads / I am Reborn as a Warlord / Chapter 2 - Enter Randy

Chapter 2 - Enter Randy

"Randy?"

"Yeah, short for random God." The white figure said which now his name is Randy.

"Ok, uh, Randy. Why am I here? Am I not supposed to be like dead and going to heaven or something?"

"Its simple really." said Randy. "I basically grabbed you when you were heading to the afterlife, oh and btw you weren't heading for heaven."

"Wait, what the fu..."

"Aaaand" Randy suddenly cut in, "I want to give you a chance to be reincarnated as a warrior in a fantasy world beacause I am bored."

"Wait, wait back up, I was gonna go to hell? Like seriously?"

Randy sighed sounding annoyed by my question, "You're still on that?"

"And what the fuck? You said you grabbed me and brought me here just because you're bored? What the fu..."

Randy made like a zipping action in the air and suddenly I just couldn't talk I tried shouting but nothing came out.

"Ok I need you to like shut the fuck up for like, one moment so that I can explain." I couldn't do much considering I'm nothing but mist now so I could do nothing but nod. Wait did I even nod? Do I even have a head?

"Alright, let's start again. Hi I'm Randy and yes you died. And also yes, you were going to hell but that's not on me cause you know, you're just not a virtuous person so that shit was on you. But before you were about to fall into that fiery pit, I grabbed you and brought you here because you seemed to be interesting. Because you have some sort of will or fire or something that kinda drives you forward. And I thought, hmm, maybe I can have a bit of fun with you and at the same time you can also get a chance to have a new life to kinda replace your old shitty, boring life."

Then he did an unzipping action, "Ok you can talk now."

"So, its like those anime where I get reincarnated into a new life and I have to like find my way through it?"

Randy kinda had like an eye sparkle moment. "Yes! Exactly. Now you get to be reborn as a new person down on the new world which I will show you right now." He waved his hand and a small circle appeared showing scenes of another world. "This is Xenorth. A typical fantasy world where you will get reborn and you know it has dragons and magic and all that shit in it. So what do you think? Feeling excited?"

Strangely I actually felt a bit excited. "Yeah, kinda."

"Alright that's good. Now to explain a bit more. This world is what we called an abandoned world. Where the Gods, like me, have given up on it and decided that other Gods, like me, can come in an claim this world and you probably guessed it, I have claimed this world and it is mine to do with I please."

A suddenly feel a cold shiver down my spine, even though I probably don't have one anymore. The God of this world just abandoned it just like that? I thought to myself. Holy fucking shit that's just fucking dark. He or she, (do Gods have gender?) just gave up on it! What about the people? Do they even have an afterlife? What the hell?

"Yeah, you're probably a bit scared right now seeing as another God just abandoned like everything and just fucked off just like that and you're thinking like you don't matter and you're like nothing to us. But trust me the God who made this world actually loved this world. Its just that um... yeah, actually you'll probably figure out why he abandoned this world. And before you like give in to despair and stuff, no, I don't think of you as a plaything like a toy or a phone. I actually genuinely like you and I think you could be a very good friend for me in the future."

"Friend?" I said.

"Yes, a friend. I mean I have been around for like forever and it kinda gets a bit lonely. And also I actually read up on your life and wow you had a lot of enemies." He said as he pointed at the circle again. Flashes of my life started coming back to me. All the beatings I got for almost no reason. The sting of the slaps I received from my foster parents who used me as a venting outlets. My so called friends leaving me when I needed them most. Teachers who used me and embarrassed me in front of class just because they wanted to. The bullies, the harassments, the abuse both mentally and physically. Watching all that made me realize that, wow, my life really was that shitty, I mean I already knew it was shitty, but seeing it from this perspective, just wow. And now this "God", is giving me a chance to live again? I get to be someone new and he also said I could be his friend? That actually feels really nice.

"But, there's a condition."

"Huh, wait a condition?" I asked.

"Yup, ok being serious for a moment. I hate this world. Yeah it may seem awesome and all that with magic and shit but trust me if you knew why this world is fucked you would also want to fucking destroy it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..." He pointed his finger at me like some talk show host. "I want you to destroy it !"

"Huh?" I said as I stared at him blankly.
