I didn't think I would die that day. It was a birthday a day of celebration of one's birth not a day of death! Man, I'm...I am so mad! My life was snuffed out instantly by someone I didn't even know! But also feel like it is pointless since the event already occurred. Unless this is all a messed-up dream? Then I will need therapy.
So where am I now? As I try to look around it is nothing I can see myself with the clothes I had on but that doesn't make sense since I don't even see a light to make myself visible in such as...void.
"That's because it is easier for me to see who I am looking at in such a place." as the voice comes out of nowhere. The voice is female and calming but almost like someone with authority.
I look around trying to get my sense of what this is all about including the voice. I twist and turn but there is no gravity or sense of up or down, but I can tell my body is spinning. But I don't feel sick either. Maybe because this place is the purgatory of some sort? Like a place between heaven and hell. Unless this is where everyone goes when they die and there was no heaven or hell, to begin with. Man, I have never thought so much of these concepts when I was alive. Being dead does change things I guess.
"I need it does mortal" a calming yet intimidating voice speaks into my head.
"Okay, who are you! Show yourself! Unless of course hats are not possible for you to because by this point I'll believe anything someone says. Or she or whatever!
"Whether or not you believe in what I say is irrelevant all you need to do is choose what I present to you. Be. Very. Mindful." She says slowly with almost a threatening tone. I know some weirdos who would be into a woman talking down to them. We all know those people.
"Enough with your banter! I hear everything you think or say or what to say and it is driving my patience to a low. Mortal, I will be direct with you due to your circumstances. What is it you want? To live amongst your ancestors and later your descendants in heaven? Or live a new life in a new world for you to make your own. Pick now, I grow impatient"
Damn this lady(I hope is a lady sure sounds like one) sure is demanding. Probably because she must've done this many times with others perhaps. Makes me wonder if this is wha-
"Answer my question! Oh my god, this position sucks when I have to deal with slowpokes like you ugh!"
I was suddenly surprised by this slightly more childish immature impatience. Almost funny if it didn't feel like I would be smitten in purgatory for such an action.
"I Uhm, choose a new life?" I answer shakily because I have not thought of my answer like she told me to but I would want to live a life I never got to fulfill.
"Very well mor-Ah screw this authority voice...You're just basically gonna come back a male in a new world where things are majorly different from your previous you gonna be weak and then too strong if you play your cards right blah blah blah. Oh, you want to be male or female?"
"Uuuuhhhh male duh." No offense to women but I like being male than...female...I don't know how I would personally know that let us just leave it at that.
"Very well, with the snap of my finger, you won't be able to come back to this place for the same reason. Or a different reason. You will be bound to the laws, and rules of your new world as well as it's a new magical system and heaven hell and whatever that stuff would be" She says sarcastically. I think she is fed up with me by now.
"I am fed up with you because I have others to deal with like you."
Damn...Harsh
"So this is similar to an Isekai anime in a way where the character dies and comes back to a new world and becomes a god or king or ultimate wizard right?" I put my hand to my chin thinking for a moment.
"Uhhhhh, sure" she says unconvincingly. She likely has no idea of an isekai anime. Poor sap.
"I can still hear you...idiot..."
Right, I forgot she hears everything in my head and out loud. Guess that what I get.
"I am about to send you to the world where you will be reborn, you get no choice of race, power, abilities, or nation you start in. Not even your starting name. All random like real life"
"Wait!" I scream out loud before she snaps her fingers sending.
"Am I gonna be alone? With no one else to help me? Or guide me int the beginning of my journey?"
"Yes. Everyone starts alone in life, but it just depends on how long you will be alone early on."
I place my hands on my face rubbing them in confusion about how he will learn an entirely new world with magic races, empires, and factions different from his own. Might even have different physics for all I know.
"Well, you could go to the gates of heaven and be happy there instead. But like I have said it is a one-choice option" she calls out.
I think I heard more sincerity in that one. Maybe she does have a little compassion or kindness to her odd tsundere behavior which often does.
A voice calls out which might be my biggest mistake
"I don't know what this tsundere is, but I am taking it as an insult you swine! Just for all this hassle I will choose for you and will I enjoy watching you bask in confusion for a while."
I just done fu-

Then a snap...This is where it begins.
