"I have seen the darkness in everything that the world has stood for me", said a child with long hair in ragged cloth on his knees.
It was a rainy night. 20 people around him, and out of them, one came up to him, "We are here to take in under our boss's wing."
The child looked up, "They killed the Father, the Sisters and the others. Take me in. It is just too dreamy", and then he looked around.
Around him were a lot of corpses and debris from the orphanage that he used to live in.
Then they took the child in their car bunker after they took them to their Boss.
The Boss, "No, This is not him."
One of the lackeys of the Boss asked, "So, What about this kid?"
Their Boss seemed so worried about something and didn't even hear the question.
One of them held onto the hand of the child and told the child, "Get up, little one!"
The child heard him, got up, and followed the man.
The man then took the child outside the building, "I am sorry about What they did to you..." And then he fell on his knees and continued, "I hope you forgive them."
The child said, "Forgive them. That is so easy to say. Why should I? They took everything from me."
The man then got up and said, "Didn't you understand I apologised! If you want something, you should ask, child..." then he went for his back pocket and took out his wallet and continued, "Here have this 80 Dollars go have a nice meal and forget this ever happened. You know what, here's another 80 Dollars! This will help you till the day after tomorrow."
The child felt so disgraced that he thought, "Is that all they were worth, paper? And forget it happened. I am not the one they say after they've brought me here. I can't say if this is real or not. A nightmare this is, a nightmare!"
The child then went to a Chinese restaurant and had spaghetti. All the people around him in the restaurant felt disgusted seeing him there. Then a waiter came up to him and said, "Sir, could you please leave the vicinity? The guests around don't feel safe around when you're here."
The child got up from his seat, took his plate and had the spaghetti out from the restaurant in the back. The chef who cooked the meal for him saw the child eating it, "So, they kicked you out, huh? Hey child. You don't have to pay for your dinner. It is on me."
The child looked at the chef, and the chef smiled at him, "Hey kid, What is your name?"
The child was shocked when he asked for his name. He started to tear down, "It's... *sniff* *sniff* Marc, Marc Heins."
The chef felt bad after he said it like that, "I can see it has been rough for you. I can help you when I can just come back here in the back of JoLo's, and I will be there."
Then the chef took out his cigarette pack to take 1 out to smoke and then took out his lighter to light it up when it was in his mouth.
Marc, "Mister, What is your name?"
The chef looked at Marc, took the cigarette and blew out smoke, "It's Glen Pauly. You can call me Glen!"
Marc smiled, "Okay, Glen!"
Marc then left and started doing labour work around the church. They accepted him in work since they had seen Marc with the Father of the Church, who had recently been killed.
People in the streets were spreading rumours.
The Worker, who worked there during his break[Worker 1], said to the others with him, "The Father and the Sisters were in with a cult that was they were killed. You know that there hasn't been any search or investigation for this."
Another worker[Worker 2], "That has to be true. And the kid?"
Worker 1, "Has to be a victim." All the other workers agreed with what he said and spread the story like wildfire.
Marc saw a newspaper sitting around the couch while he was on his break. So, he took it to read, but he didn't know to read it, so he went through the pictures shown.
A worker walked in and saw Marc looking at the paper, "So, you like reading newspapers, do you?"
Marc nodded no, "I can't read."
The Worker, "Do you want me to read it for you?"
Marc nodded yes.
Marc, "What should I call you, mister?"
The Worker took the newspaper from him, "Call me, Gonzalo."
He took the local news, "The election commission has decided...", that was when Marc tapped on his back and then asked, "Can you read this for me?"
He had pointed at the truck crash incident.
Gonzalo, "Sure"
And then told him about the incident that almost killed 200 people in it. 188 people were killed during it, and 10 were severely injured.
Later, after a week, Marc went to the restaurant to meet Glen in the back. Instead, he met another chef standing there smoking.
Marc, "Is Glen here?"
The chef looked at Marc for seconds with the cigarette in his mouth. After that, he took it out, "Glen died, a week ago."
Marc was smiling before he heard that and now that smile began to fade.
Marc, "But he promised."
The chef didn't care about what he said. The chef threw away his cigarette and headed back in.
Marc started to walk back to the construction site where he works and also stays.
Gonzalo saw Marc come in, "Kiddo! They said you might have to leave from here."
Marc couldn't listen to what he said and headed up to the construction site to the highest ground and then looked down from there, "I feel that will do."
Gonzalo was looking around where Marc had gone. Gonzalo left the site thinking he had just gone out, so he looked for Marc, but then he heard the sound of a fall on site. He rushed back inside to see Marc's body flat on the ground, bloody and squashed.
Gonzalo fell to his knees, crying then.
Marc opened his eyes and was confused, "Where am I?", he felt a slight headache as he got up from the ground.
Around him was utter darkness.
And then a figure appeared before him. The figure's head was a bright light, and the body of a man.
The figure, "I've watched the life you had. It was like watching hell itself."
Marc, still confused about what was going around, "Who are you? And What is this place?"
The figure, "Oh goodness! My child Marc Heins, I am the God of Life itself, Ses!"
Marc thought he was joking with him.
Ses, "My Child, I know you don't believe it yet. I will bestow upon you the power of a god in your next life. I will be eagerly watching you as you grow, my child!"
Marc just remembered that he had suicide. He now knows Ses is the God he says he is.
Marc, "What is this place?"
Ses looked around, "This place is a reflection of how you see the world as"
Marc understood what he meant.
Marc, "My next life? Is it back on earth?"
Ses, "No, it is on a planet called Heart. It is a planet in another universe. The same as Earth with human beings living in it, and the planet is the same size as Earth", as they were wrapping through space and time.
Marc, "What do you mean? The power of GOD?"
Ses, "That is not for you to be concerned about", then he snapped his right finger.
Marc then teleported away to nothingness.
Marc lost his face, and his body disappeared, but he was still there next to Ses.
Ses asked, "Do you want to keep your memories or lose them?"
Marc hesitated for a few seconds, then said sadly, "Never!"
Ses smiled, "So be it!" he then snapped his finger.
Marc was sent to another world then.
Ses, "Father was right I won't be the one to choose their path for them. But I will set forth a new era, that will not be stopped."
His Angels appeared behind him.
There were 6 Angels under him. 2 Paladins, 3 Angelariums, 1 Angel.
Ses, "Maria, I will need you to watch over the kid through his journey. Till he grows to his own."
The Angel bowed and said, "As you wish!" She spreads her wings and vanishes off.
