It had been just a ordinary day. I had gotten up and was getting ready to go to school.
I was 17 year old David Smith, your average run of the mill guy. I had no parents, I did not know who they were as they had abandoned me when I was just a child. I was living in my own apartment provided by the state.
I was a bit smarter than usual so I had been able to obtain a scholarship and get into a good school. I didn't have many hobbies ,usually just read a few web novels here and there and even wrote a few fanfics.
I had just began to cross the road when suddenly I felt an intense pain in my chest 'A heartattack' I realised. I felt weak, light-headed and was ready to faint. 'Is this the end' I thought. Then suddenly a truck just appeared out of thin air and crashed into me making me lose conscience.
[
I opened my eyes and looked around 'Where am I' I thought as all around was complete darkness. Suddenly the memories of my death rushed into my head. I tried look at my body but found that there was nothing there, I tried to speak but no voice would come out, I tried to breath but found out that I couldn't. 'I am dead' , this information truly sunk in.
I panicked for some time and then calmed down. Then I started trying to explore my surroundings. 'Maybe some God will find me and reincarnate me' I thought 'That's what happened in most of the novels I had read'.
'I wonder how much time has passed' I thought as I could not feel the passing of time. 'Did anyone even mourne my death' I thought 'Probably not, I was quite the loner'
While I was thinking about things inconsequential in the grand scheme of things and slowly drifting into madness, I suddenly noticed a bright light far away from me. I started moving towards it like my life depended on it thinking it would disappear if I didn't reach it in time. 'This could be by ticket out of this void' I thought.
I reached light in a few minutes and realized it was a golden room. There was a being sitting inside seemingly made out of light. It suddenly turned it's head towards me and said.
"I have been waiting for a long time, child". "Your finally here"
