'Man, it's been a while since I have been floating here, wait am I really floating? Well I guess it's true that I really died, *SIGH* I never thought I would die so soon!' said a Soul sadly as it was thinking back when it was alive.
The Soul before its untimely death was Named Clement Gates, a recent high school Graduate who was just finding himself in the world. He died at the age of 18 right before his birthday, and damn was he looking forward to this birthday that year because for the first time ever will he spend it with all his family members present. The Gates family was an influential family with a lot of resources but they weren't given to the children, the children had to earn it by proving that they indeed deserve those resources otherwise they won't get them, they family emphasized self-sufficiency and independence.
Anyhow, back to Clement, he was never a people's person as he was introverted by nature. This however made him a target for bullies who bullied him even more when they found out that he was an Otaku who was obsessed with Japanese anime, Manga, Korean Manhwa, Chinese Manhua and Po*nhwa in some cases. The girls labeled him a 'pervert' for Reading and watching H-manga... But he didn't really care because for him Anime was everything and anything!
He was Single not because he was ugly or anything of the sorts but it was just that he had that forgettable face... You know that one that you are but once it's out of your sight you forget it immediately? Yep, that was what described him best at least that was what his classmates said! In reality Clement had a very Short midnight Black hair, with Green eyes which he inherited from his mother Grace Hamilton who married Jhon Gates, it was an arranged marriage ordered by their parents, or Clement's grandparents who are a tad bit controlling. They love being in control of every situation and hate being kept in the dark especially with family problems and business.
One day, Clement was coming from his local supermarket to buy his daily necessities and a new volume of his favourite Light Novel called: Classroom Of The Elite or better known as COTE! He was such a fan of this novel that he started reading it while waiting in the traffic light as the robot 🚥 was red. As he was reading the did not take note of a bus that was speeding towards him for He (Clement) was engrossed in reading the novel, as he heard the Screeching noises and the shouts of other people, the only thing he thought was, '*SIGH* I just can't even read in peace and what is the fuss about anyway?' he thought as he closed his novel. But when he look to the side (besides him) he was petrified to find that a bus that weighted probably a ton was heading towards him, worse case was he couldn't even move a muscle.
As death was approaching the only thing running in his head was: 'I couldn't finish reading my novel, at least I wanted to know what happened in season 2 of COTE, but I guess I'll never find out.' he thought dejectedly at the reality facing him. when the Bus hit him, he was sent flying through the air and crashed with a heavy resounding *THUD* in the pavement (walkway) he was bleeding profusely and blood was even coming out in his ears, he knew that he will die for sure. Now he didn't really believed in heaven nor did he believed in Hell, he thought that those terns are terms people came with during the bygone era where the strongest survived in order to limit them. He is an Atheists and a lover of science by nature.
But too bad that today he was going to be proven wrong because after he died here on earth his soul was transfered to a void like place, where nothing existed not even light... As for how he himself survived was a mystery to him as well. As in the void there's no concept of time he really didn't know how long it has been since his death, but he really wished at least his mother won't be too sad because of his passing. As he was thinking about his life a voice was suddenly heard in the void.
"Oh~ it seems you survived my dear son~" said the being that just arrived on the void.
