'you died'
I heard a voice from nowhere, as I slowly open my eyes and looked around observing my environment
in a room filled with an estimation of 50 people quite confused as well as I am...
'what happened? Where am I? What's going on? who are these people?'
questions flood my mind as then I heard a familiar voice calling behind me
"Julius?... is that you?"
I turned around to see one of my friends who were with me before everything went black
"Erica? What happened?, where is this place?, wh-" As I was about to ask her questions I notice she was having the same reaction as I was
'Don't tell me... you also don't remember what happened I thought but I need to test this theory
"Eri what was the last thing you remember?"
to which she replied
"We were playing Warhammer multi-play... and we were talking... and then everything went black"
"I-I see"
in which we were both silent
but then I remembered
"you died"
"huh?" she confusedly asked
"I heard a very monotonous voice saying... I died...you"
"yes... I did but that's a joke right?"
then suddenly an interface-like screen appeared in front of both of us
'NEWS FLASH REPORT!!!!....NEWS FLASH REPORT!!!!...NEWS FLASH REPORT!!!!
An explosion happened in an internet cafe, a gas leak
An explosion happened during repairs on a gas leak killing 10 juveniles, parents have mourned about their deaths.
as I skimmed through the article Erica was paled seems like even though were dead our bodies can still pale
now that I observed it properly our bodies are kinda see through
I then along with Erica heard a commotion on our side about 3 meters away they were so
loud that everyone turned their attention toward them
"ARE YOU THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED ME!! HUH!!! PUNK!!! YOU THINK!! I CAN'T KILL YOU
RIGHT NOW!!!" a man who was wearing a suit and tie was shouting at another person
"calm down man, all of us are in this situation together-" he was then interrupted
"I AM CALM!!! WHAT ABOUT YOU KIDNAPPER ARE YOU CALM"
to which the other man just sighed
seeing the man sigh the man in the suit took it as an offensive action and his anger boiled he then tried to punch the person in front of him
to which his fist passed the man as if he was intangible both of them passed through each other as the man in the suit who tried to punch the person in front of him tripped and his whole body fell forward his face meeting the ground
this confirmed the see-through theory and that we are dead theory as our bodies were like ghost
this revelation made some of the people here cry in despair, accept that they are dead, and some scheme? weird
Erica herself sat on the ground in front of me hugging her own legs seemingly looking for comfort
to which I looked at her and kneel and asked if she was okay... I would have patted her head if only I wasn't an intangible substance right now
I sat in silence next to her as we waited for something to happen, with me trying to comfort her and observe the people in the room once more
'm-my mom must be worried...'
'mhm...'
'sh-she must be sad'
'umh'
as we sat in silence while she talk I notice while the others are having a dilemma, the people in the room increased from 50 - 60 - 65 until... it reached an estimation of 150 people
'I think, my parents would be happy after all they love my siblings more than they do to me' I thought as I heard a loud voice calling in our direction
"ERICA! JULIUS!, TH-ere you guys are, we've been looking for you"
"JUSTIN, MIRA, KHYLE, where are the others?" I asked as Erica looked up at them as we are missing 5
"We don't know, when we woke up we were next to each other and we've been looking for them," Justin said
"yeah, t-then w-we saw the screen showing the n-news a-about our deaths" Khyle added
in which Mira just frowned and Erica shrink once again, and Justin scowled and I sighed
'I see so it's only us here huh?'
as I was thinking a large 'BOOM' rang around the room gaining the attention of everyone a
large shadow then dawned upon us covering the light as high as a mountain
and then it spoke "MORTALS WHO HAVE DIED... GREETINGS!"
most people visibly shuddered as the being spoke, 'Never did once we felt so small and
insignificant as we did now' Thoughts such as that ran through my head and it then continued
"I WILL GIVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU A CHANCE!" as it said that
two swirling portals appeared and the being instructed
"CHOOSE ONE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL REINCARNATE WITH 2 WISH, and TO THE RIGHT YOU LAY REST AND WAIT FOR JUDGMENT"
with those words, we followed the being's words, but there was one thing I am curious about and so with all the courage in my lifetime I stepped forward
seemingly seeing what I was about to do my friends tried to hold me back but then their arms and hands passed by me not noticing what they were doing and asked a question
"Ohh Great one!! I have a Question!! " with that all the attention of every person in the room and the being noticing my presence and acknowledging my actions I continued
"If we reincarnate with those 2 wishes! Is it possible to come back to our world when we are powerful enough?" As if acknowledging the intelligence and madness in my question not
knowing the weight my question carried the being Laugh! He laughs LIKE A MADMAN and then silence
{A/N: Akward}
with a Sigh it spoke "YES!, IT IS!, BUT NEARLY AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! YOU COULD ONLY HOPE! YOU REACH SUCH POWER! AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE UNIVERSE PRIME! WHERE
ALL THINGS ARE CREATED! AS IT IS THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END! THE CREATOR OF REALITIES! AND WHATEVER IT BELIEVES WILL COME TRUE!!... BUT YES IT CAN BE DONE"
with that I looked at my friends only to see that their expressions changed like a fire that burned after it almost gave up, not only them but most of the people in the room had new
expressions one that I am quite familiar with, I saw HOPE in their expression I saw will that to fight again
not only me but it seems that the being also saw/felt that these changes and it looked back at me, as if acknowledging and sneering? weird as if it knew that I would asked that question
and would put on a show and I would place a spark within them that would create a burning passion as if it was using me and knowing what had/would/will happen
and without questions asked about 90% of the people walked into the left portal, not even thinking that the being was tricking them, well they were dead anyways so whatever as long
as there's hope in the dark, there will always be faith to jump into the unknown
I also with my companions walked into the portal where we 5 went together
