"Mommy, the Saint is over there, let's go, I want to see the saint!"
"Okay, we will. Don't worry, but we have to wait because the saint is a good man, and he is helping people."
You can see many people with conversations like this one. Too many that I can hear again for the billionth time. I was called the saint because I am a very good doctor. Not like those noobs that just cut people open and close them up, no, I'm an amazing doctor that I was called the 'Saint' by the whole world. I never failed in surgery.
It doesn't even matter if someone got shot in the head, I can still save them. How, you ask? Well, I don't know either. I was a young boy when I wanted to save lives by seeing my dad have a career as a firefighter. I wanted to take the same path as him, but I also wanted to be myself, take my own path. I started to study to become a surgeon. It felt like I felt my calling. It felt like my destiny even then. I didn't know how to explain it, but I don't even think you are supposed to.
I grew up getting perfect grades, handsome looks. All that kind of stuff however I felt like I was become more bored by the second with my daily life. Got into the best Uni for Med school and became the top even there. So boring. Even though I was bored I still decided to follow my destiny and become a surgeon. There I started learning as an intern in a hospital during those few months I was there I had a chance to participate in a surgery. I went in and started my job but who knew that Haha, the lead surgeon of the operation fell down due to a heart attack. Tch, he was a fool. Well, I picked up the reins and did it perfectly all by myself.
Unrealistic, I know. But it happened anyway. Who said two hands are better than one, bring me his head? After that I got called to try again on another patient. They actually used a patient to test me, never expected that. I successfully got through that surgery and came out with no mistakes, just perfect. Then onward to my 'Saint' career. Got even more surgeries and I never made a mistake in one. Got more and more patients and I started to get even more popular.
My bastard colleagues put all the work on me. Then of course as the 'Saint' I didn't just to surgery no, I did normal stuff. checkups, walking around to boost up the prestige of my hospital. I also came up with new methods and cures to diseases and cured many types of cancers while also discovering many other things Even started to take the brunt of other surgeons whose patients died during surgery, and I had to announce their deaths to their family. Well, I went 15 years like that. But I made a mistake once.
Got a patient killed and the ruined my whole reputation and life. After that I don't know why but i kept making mistakes. a year past by and I killed 7 patients. I took a lot of damaged, but I didn't care about that. My parents took a lot of hits. They were fired from their jobs, house taken. I was in Europe during that time so I couldn't help so they died because they got murdered by other people. I hated those people, but I couldn't do anything except get them to jail for their life I didn't hate the world, so I kept on going but then I DIED!
By tripping on a rock, rolling into the middle of the streets when truck was coming and about to hit me but catch this, I was on ground flat on my back and the truck went right over me because I went under the car and didn't get hit. The truck drove past, and I was safe. But this stupid bastard truck stopped and started to go reverse and hit me with their back of the truck. AHH STUPID BASTARD!!
Well, that's basically my life or was my life, I guess. So now I am in a white room, and I see a small coffee table with a bottle of bourbon. Lucky me. I sat down on the floor doing a criss cross applesauce and drank from the bottle. Ahh is this heaven. No sounds and emergencies or kids being annoying and calling me 'Saint'. I like this. I just hope nobody is going to come in in here but that's impossible since this is my heaven, and nobody can join my heaven.
"Hello child, welcome to my blank dimension." My mouth twitch from hearing that my peace was broken by what sounded like an old man.
"What bastard dare mess up my peace?!!"
"I'm sorry my child but by name is not bastard but is called Gerard Olen Dorn but you can call me God since that is also what I am."
Who cares if your name is ainwassitmatter, I just want to be in peace!"
"Even if it means a second chance at life?"
"Yes! Even if it mea- huh? Did I hear right?"
I mean I was deaf before I died and used to wear hearing aids, hmm wait now that I think about it I can hear right now, and I don't have anything in my ear. Did being in heaven cure me. Wait. What am I talking about? I'm dead and I'm pretty sure I heard something that will be very fun.
"Yes, you heard right. I want to give you a chance at another life."
".... Explain"
"It will not be your old world but a new one. A world with Heroes, Villains, And Gods. A fantasy world in your view and I would like for you to complete a mission that I give you."
"Hmm okay, okay, new world, fantasy, gods, mission. Okay. What do you need."?
"Okay first, what kind of hero doing you want to be. Your karma is immeasurably high. The highest among all mortals I've seen so far."
Duh of course I basically saved billions of lives, if I didn't get a high amount of karma then that means I was basically not saving or helping anyone. Wait let's go back a bit. Did he just say hero, HERO???!!!
"Did you just say hero, Hahahah I have dedicated my whole life to being a hero to other people and I'm done with it. It boring, I'm tired of it, I'm annoyed by it, I'm irritated by it. I feel a lot of negative feelings about heroes, but you did say that I would be going to a world of heroes, villains, and gods, right?
".... Yes" God smiled a bit as if he knew what I was going to say.
"I already know that I can't automatically become a god, but I still have one choice left over."
My lips curled up as I was thinking of my future. "Then let me complete your mission as not a hero, nor god but an Villian!"
