Volume 1 & Chapter 0 : The beginning after it all ended.
Me Explaining:
Smoking cigarettes on top of a high rising building. I am in my 70s as a retired politician, An old Man. My life has been full of intrigue and regretful things. Causing war for pieces of paper, Prizes of hypocrisy, Faking friendships and what-not. It was all for nothing I guess.

"Oi you with the gun are you gonna shoot or not?" Telling a middle aged man in front of me. I have forgotten his name, as I have aged I have become more obsolete with this kind of thing.
"Just shoot and be done with it " I told him. He screams "WHY! JUST WHY!!--- why did you do that to us?!?!" he continued sobbing, "What had my father– had done to you– for you to do that to my mother?"
"Whose son are you? " I asked while lighting another cigarette. His face was– was in grief as i asked him that question, "Are you for serious you fucker??!!! I Had only one goal in my life and that was to kill you," He got angrier as he went.
"I did everything I could to sully your name, I made sure to damage your impeccable reputation you had made by fooling masses". He pulled out a phone and started screaming,"Confess your sins!! ". I jokingly said, "ah yes, Forgive me Father for i have sinned! Ahahahaha".
He didn't seem to get my joke, maybe he was dumb or something. But oh boy, I finally remembered who he was.
"I see you are her son! That Bar dancer, I remember you now. We did have a lot of fun with her that night". As soon as I said it he shot me in the chest.
He screamed,"YOU FUCKERRRRRR— YOU RAPED HER IN FRONT OF MY EYES. YOU AND YOUR MEN TIED ME AND MY FATHER." He started sobbing more and started screaming at me again for fuck's sake , "YOU MADE US WATCH AS YOU AND YOUR MEN HAD YOUR WAY WITH HER... ". I started laughing and said, "your father was a cuck for not satisfying her enough, we had to do it".
He Then shot me 7 more times. That's how I died.

"So that's how i Died, god." me talking to him in the afterlife.
"I did see, " he said. I asked, "Why did you not save that woman or me from all that?"
"I do not interfere" he told me.
"You have a long list of crimes as described in your terms" he told me softly.
"Aren't I getting any sort of punishment?" I muffled him as I was afraid after realizing all these mythological things were real.
"What do you suppose is your due punishment?" he asked me.
"I have no fucking clue, i have been an Anti-thiest my whole life. if i knew all this was real i would have not done all this that i did" I exclaimed.
"Ohh Do you now? Do you know what sins you have committed?" He started reminding me of my past life and all the things I did. From Making a widow wait for her husband at home for him to never return, from having children killed in a froiegn land, involving myself in debauchery with children who might've had a bright future ahead. From Sex to drugs to murder to downright cruelty against just anyone.
Looking at my life I did feel what a piece of shit I was, it was too late– just too late to make up for all my past sins.
"You had no inclination for good to start with" he told me in a disappointed voice, "Had you used your intelligence for your people they wouldn't have to suffer".

Suddenly I open my eyes. I find myself looking at something, A woman.
It feels warm and nice.
