"Emmm... Hi?"
"I'm sure you are scared and confused Mr. Edward so please take a seat and let me explain your current situation," TIC said with a friendly smile.
"I'm not so sure about that... TIC. I just woke up here and I'm sure I didn't come here with my own consent."
even though I said it with bravado I still felt weirded out by my own situation. Like I was a character in a film who was about to die.
"pfff that's an interesting take on your current situation, Mr. Edward"
'Eh?... for that kid my current situation is funny?'
"no, well... Nevermind. Mr. Edward, I would be grateful If you could sit down and let me explain your situation after all we don't have all day and I'm a busy god." TIC said still smiling
"Emmm... Ok?"
'Wait... did he say god?'
After I went to the opposite side of the table and sat down on a sofa that was equally white as the table, I stared at TIC and I said:
"So? care to explain?"
"Well do you want to hear a long or short version of the story?"
"Long one."
"Well, that's reasonable. So for short, You died, and were about to reincarnat-"
"WHAT! Are you crazy or something?"
"Hmmm? Mr. Edward don't tell me you don't know that you are dead?"
"What! I'm not dead you weirdo!"
TIC stared at me for a few seconds before a file suddenly appear in his hands.
'eh?... what?... how did it appear out of nowhere?'
As TIC opened the first page he started reading the bottom part of the page and he suddenly said:
"My bad Mr. Edward, apparently I skipped this part of the Information. As this will take a lot of time to just explain AND then to convince you that I'm not lying, I find it better just to show it to you."
As TIC closed a file with my name on it, he slides it across the table and I grabbed it from an instinct.
*CRAAAACK*
As I was alarmed by a loud cracking sound I started looking around to only see space warping around me, about 1 meter from me.
*CRACK*
I heard a second crack this time which in response made space warp even more.
'WHAT IS GOING ON!!??' I thought to myself in fear.
And this time I heard about dozens of cracks.
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*...
The space was warping with even more intensity till all I could see was darkness from all of the space warpness.
after a few seconds, I started seeing again, which once again made me sick because I felt like I was hit by a flashbang.
'Ugh... I hate this.'
*snore*
'hm? Who is it?'
As I turned around to face the person who was snoring, I froze once I saw him... Him? Me? I think it's better to say US.
'What the hell!?'
Suddenly he was rolling in my/his bed, apparently, he wasn't comfortable so he was rolling a lot in his bed then suddenly, he started falling from his/my bed to only hit his head on a corner of the nightstand.
And apparently, he fell on the sharpest part of it because once he fell to the ground, a small pool of blood started to leak.
*CRACK*
suddenly the cracking sound was heard once again...
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*...
And once again Edward awoke in a seat on a white sofa.
"Wha...What was that?"
"That, Mr. Edward was your death."
''Oh...Oh shit. I'm dead'
"Now do you believe me, Mr. Edward?"
"Yes, yes I do"
'Who wouldn't believe after seeing such a thing happen before him.' But one may think it was a psychological trick or even maybe some kind of mirage. But Edward, no Edward had a huge feeling that it wasn't any trick at play.
"Great let's move on... so you died. That normally would mean that your memories would be erased and you would be reincarnated, and the place where and who you would be reincarnated be calculated by investigating your soul and karma's values. So far so good Mr. Edward?"
"Yes, it's a bit much but I've got it."
"Great! So let's move on."
suddenly TIC took a sip of the tee and started talking once again.
"So you see Mr. Edward right now you must be questioning why you aren't being reincarnated, am I right?
"Well... Yes, I wanted to ask about it but I still haven't gotten an opportunity to ask."
"Mr. Edward if I asked you to describe your life in one word, what would it be?"
"...plain... sad... maybe even pitiful I'd say."
"Exactly, you lived a plain and boring life. You didn't have any friends or even acquaintances all your life, once you grew to be an adult you got a basic job at the office, and you lived from paycheck to paycheck. You basically were a zombie with a dead soul. And let's not even talk about karma. You did no good and you did no evil (Perfect balance) even though your soul had a trait which was kindness. So Mr. Edward your soul is plain."
"So what does that have to do anything?"
"Well even though your situation is really rare, it's not like it hasn't happened before. Normally once the system has calculated what is the most average, you would be placed there."
"Oh... ok."
"Well I was hoping for a bigger rection"
"Sorry it's just a lot of information to digest, I guess.
"That's reasonable."
"So when will get reincarnate?"
"Now if you wish but I got a proposition, that you might like.
'?' (Edward)
"You see..."
