Have you ever been abandoned by everyone and thrown into hell? like the universe denies your existence? wants you to be erased from it?
because I have
'I had so much I wanted to accomplish' he thought sighing mentally, 'mainly find the truth behind my parent's death and when the government officials told me nothing, due to some unforeseen circumstances I ended up doing nothing noteworthy. my whole life was a failure.'
taking a deep breath which seemed to be his last he thought 'humans are vile creatures, even the monsters here were less cruel than them, the social hierarchy decides whether you have a worth or you don't'
'having no background after their death and no one to support me I suffered. The hypocritic teachers and parents made me want to end my own life but finding out about their death kept me going.'
'Gods are the same as humans,' thought the Boy lying in a puddle of blood that seemed to be his.
'I prayed to every god I knew of hoping I would receive some blessings surviving in this hell, praying day and night while hiding from the vicious monsters for two whole months, but I got nothing.' he gnashed his teeth in anger just thinking about it. 'they bless humans and monsters both and seem to enjoy the entertainment that they get from the fights between humans and monsters'
Thinking about how he ended up where he was, he swore that he would someday take his revenge on the humans who hurt him and would kill the gods for looking down on him and treating him like their plaything.
Those were the last moments he had before everything went blank
**In the endless darkness of the abyss-**
a figure of a boy was slowly floating as if it was heading somewhere
in the dead silence, a groan came from the boy's mouth "khh..h"
Regaining consciousness the boy's eyes became bloodshot as he thought about everything that happened in his life. He thought about his happiest moments, The moments his parents died, The moment he landed in that hell
Until he heard a voice calling out to him " calm down boy, the abyssal monsters can feel ethereal souls as this place is just too dark for them to see" he said in a deep voice.
The boy ignored her warning Looking around trying to find where the voice of the female came from when he felt a striking pain inside his head.
Pulling his hands up to hold his head or what seemed to be his head, his hands passed through it. Frightened by how his hand passed through his head he looked at his hand which was translucent.
He heard the same voice inside his head but was slightly annoyed this time " I'm in your head you won't find me anywhere" the boy stopped checking other body parts and looked somewhere absentmindedly trying to say something mentally
The unknown male voice continued "this is not a place for a mortal to be in, how are you here?" he said in a slightly authoritative way.
the boy floating through the abyss figuring out how to reply asked the unknown voice "abyssal monsters? what are those?"
The unknown voice not wanting to answer pulls the boy towards himself with a mysterious power that seemed to be telekinesis.
The speed at which the boy was being pulled was way too much for his mortal self to handle so he ended up losing his eye.
After what seemed like 10 minutes the boy felt himself stop moving.
feeling danger everywhere around him he Squinted his eyes open, the boy looked around to find something that resembled a nebula. He looked around scanning the beautiful landscape looking for the voice when he felt an arm touch his head.
Startled by the sudden touch he tried flicking the arm off his head which did not happen. He followed the arm which looked like a shadow to its body which was similarly coated in a layer of black.
He heard the male voice telling him to lower his guard down which he instinctively did, as soon as that happened he felt his whole life repeating before his eyes.
All the memories the sad ones, the happy ones, and his thoughts during his last moments.
The man clad in shadow said as his lips curled or what seemed to be his lips "perhaps this is fate. "
he laughed like a goblin…..
coughing to hide his embarrassment he then turned around and asked the boy to follow him, the boy looking at the shadow-clad figure cautiously asked "where the heck is the floor? how will I walk? will I fall through this place? and what is this place aeernt I supposed to be dead?"
bombarding the mysterious figure with many questions he heard him click his tongue in annoyance "tsk, mortals just need to satiate their curiosity" he then glared at the boy as he said, " follow me without questions I don't like mortals."
the boy sensing the threat and killing intent behind the voice gulped and followed the mysterious figure. following him he reached a small piece of land where the shadow-clad person motioned for him to sit down.
The shadow-clad person turned around making his violet eyes visible and the shadow over his whole body seemed to be battle armor with many dents.
Ignoring the boy gazing all over his body, he asked him a question that would bring about a big change in the boy's life "so mortal what is your name?"
The boy scared by his appearance replied in a slightly shaky voice "na-athan"
