Kingsly slowly opened his eyes to a blinding light. It took some time for his vision to adjust when it did he could see marble pillars with gold inlay and exquisite carvings all over the whole place.
Looking around he found a woman with long golden hair sitting on a marble throne.
"soooo is this heaven. To be honest, I was expecting fire and demons not some goddess," Kingsly said with a joking laugh.
She just laughed at him.
"I am not a goddess I am what you would call nature I believe people have called me Gaia before," she said with a pouting face.
Kingsly was shocked about how beautiful she was. Emerald green eyes with long golden hair flowing to her waist exposing her curves and perky breasts. A pristine white dress with gold patterns fluttered in the wind, showing her perfectly soft skin.
"So, want to tell me why I'm not in hell?" He said with a confused face.
"Don't try and hide your agenda from me I am everything in existence?" she said with an irritated tone. "We both know why you became an assassin and what you have done."
"I'm a killer shouldn't I be punished for that," he asked as if he wanted punishment.
"Yes, you're a killer but every single one of them was a million times worse than you" she explained hoping to make him feel better.
Yes, Kingsly was the best assassin killing over 7000 targets, but all his targets were war criminals' dictators and slave traders every despicable trade you could think of. The countries who used those trades for profit started getting mad and putting pressure on over countries. Eventually, they put a bounty on his head and false stories making the legend of the grim reaper.
"sigh" Kingsly stood thinking about his younger days when he was called the best assassin.
His memories of 27 years ago passed through his mind sending his face cold.
"You remember why you started don't you," she said with a caring smile.
A 14-year-old girl flashed into his mind. Beautiful Blond hair and deep blue eyes with a cute little smile.
"I buried my past a long time ago" Kingsly shouted while clenching his fists.
"No, you didn't, or you wouldn't be the man you are today," she said comforting him "what happened to her was a monsteras act but it was never your fault"
One day Kingsly came home to find his house ransacked and his daughter was missing. He phoned the police and FBI, but they did nothing saying she robbed the place and ran away. So he took it into his own hands. Tracking down the people who had taken his daughter took him 3 days. Some high-ranking government officials paid a group of people to kidnap her and deliver her to him.
When he got there, he found a beaten and violated corpse. Looking into her blue eyes caused something deep within him to snap but he couldn't stop blaming himself for not protecting her. In the coming years, the reaper rose from the ashes and calved the world's illegal powers limb from limb. From cartel bosses to dictators to corrupt FBI agents his victims died violent deaths.
"Still with all the good I did I still died," he said dropping to his knees. "She still died" A tear formed leaking down his face.
Gaia walked towards Kingsly and hugged him.
"She found peace and she told me to make sure you did too," Gaia said trying to make him feel better.
It worked slightly making him a little less depressed but still the memories of her death plagued his mind.
"So, what now heaven-hell purgatory?" he asked with slight curiosity.
"It doesn't work like that next is reincarnation," she said with a little laugh. "But for all you have done, I will let you keep your memories and a little gift"
She kissed Kingsly on the cheek and a bright orb descended from the sky. The sphere melted into strands of light flowing towards Kingsly. Each strand started absorbing into his flesh giving him a godly glow.
Kingsly started feeling warm all over feeling the light move towards his heart.
"Here is a message for you" she handed a golden orb.
His fingered touch the orb and a vision appeared in front of him.
"Hi dad I know you blame yourself, but don't I have and always will love you," she said with teary eyes.
He came back to reality and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you," Kingsly said holding back tears.
"No, thank you for all the good you have done," she said with a smile.
She said placing a hand on his cheek and wiping away his tear.
"Time is coming to an end," she said gesturing towards a golden plate.
Kingsly rose from his knees and made his way towards the golden plate looking at its patterns and carvings that made his head hurt.
"So, what will happen to me now," He asked hesitantly.
"Reincarnation is like a lottery not even I know where you will go," she said.
"ooowww" he took a deep breath in "aaawwwww" and a deep breath out.
It was a new frontier new start new world to explore he could now let go of the past. The past no longer mattered now. putting all his effort into his new life and protecting the people he will care about.
"I am ready," Kingsly said with a determined face.
Gaia made her way towards the plate, but a frown appeared across her face.
"who's doing this" her angry voice shook the entire plane.
Red lightning started to flicker out of the golden plate. Startled Kingsly tried stepping off the plate.
"ttttsssss" the red lighting gave him a shock forcing him back on the plate. "SHIT" Kingsly shouted in pain.
"Listen Kingsly you are being forced into someone else's body I cannot stop it" She had a flustered look. "I will do everything I can to help you."
Soon a red light started to form around the bottom of the golden plate that permeated throughout the temple.
Kingsly looked at his body and found parts of himself disintegrating into white particles.
"Good look I hope you enjoy your new life," she said with a forced smile.
