Chereads / A New Life in Naruto / Chapter 2 - #1 What once was

Chapter 2 - #1 What once was

The Sun rose starting another day in Ben's Life. He put on his favorite Uchiha themed T-shirt with black pants and went off to work.

Eventually Ben sat down at his desk starting his computer as he occasionally sneaked some glances at his Anime figurines on his desk for motivation.

'Whew now comes the hard part I hope they don't scream at me this time. I can't stand it'

So, Ben braced himself for the coming onslaught of customer inquiries and complaints that awaited him as he accepted the first call of a customer.

Customer "Hello? Finally what's taking you guys so long ?"

"I apologize for the wait sir, may I ask for what reason specifically you have called us today?"

Customer "Well that's not enough go fix my internet."

"May you please tell me your name and adress sir so I can look into it?

Customer "The name is Sven Braumer from 177 Bartoletti Pine, Irenetown, 39593"

So, 1 minute of looking into things later Ben answers Sven.

"I appreciate your patience, sir. It looks like there might be some maintenance work happening in your neighborhood. It should be resolved within the hour."

Sven " An hour?! I can't wait that long! I have important work to do! I demand to speak to your supervisor."

"I understand your frustration, sir, but I assure you I'm here to assist you, there is no need for my superiors to be involved."

Sven "No, I don't want your useless help! Just fix it know your useless worker."

'God damn this idiot can't he shut up, it will take time as if me or my supervisor can make the server can make the server update faster. We even made a notification for the 1-hour shutdown today like 5 times over the last week.'

"Please bear with it, Sven, while we work to resolving your problem, I promise in 1 hour everything will be up and running perfectly again."

Sven "Fine, but if it's not fixed soon, I'll be canceling my service!"

"I'll make a note of that, sir. Thank you for your patience and have a great day."

'Fucking Idiot I hope he dies in some ditch before the hour is up.'

Ben continued to receive calls like these for the next few hours of his shift until he finally got his lunch break, where he ate an apple, 2 sandwiches and 2 glasses of water.

He eventually came back to his desk and hesitantly sat back down only to decide to message his superior, that he would be working backlogs for the rest of the day and not accept anymore calls. The Boss gave Ben his Okay and ben sat down in his seat.

'Whew no more annoying people, I can't stand all of this talking. I'm already so exchausted.'

So Ben started working on the backlogs, which he promptly ditched and started watching the newest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen only to do some logs during ad breaks, still with his headphones on. This continued until the end of his shift. Ben was still thinking about the episode of jjk that had filled his eyes for hours. With a contented smile playing on his lips, he bid farewell to his colleagues, already eagerly anticipating the bed waiting at home.

"Finally now I can go home. No more talking just relaxing from now on."

Exiting the office, he stepped out into the bustling streets where he quickly went to his car. He started his engine and made the 20 Minute drive to his home at the edge of the city where the forest starts.

Eventually he arrived home and opened his house door coming inside and he layed down for 10 minutes.

"Man im bored, lets go for a walk I guess."

So Ben decided to go for a short walk inside of the nearby woods on a popular hiking trail.

"Deep Breaths Ben take in the nature and air around you."

After 15 Minutes of leisurely walking destiny had other plans for him than to return back to his lofty home. A sudden gust of wind swept through the trees eventually leading to a tree to crack and make horrifying noises.

'What the fuck was that?'

Ben started looking around where that noise came from only to realise that he coulnd figure it out. He wanted to quickly run home. But before he could react a towering tree succumbed to the force of nature, its massive form crashing down with a deafening roar. In a heartbeat, his world was plunged into chaos. The Tree fell on his Hips effectivelky crushing them as he could only feel pain from his lower body. Panic surged through his veins as he struggled against the crushing pressure, his mind racing with fear and disbelief.

"HELP HELP I DON'T WANNA DIE."

Eventually his thoughs went cloudy. His Brain started thinking gibberish and his last words came out

"Why a Tree, why Hashiramaa… don.."

After his final words he closed his eyes, his soul slowly leaving his body drifting away. But Ben's Soul was shaked away as he woke back up without any body?

"What THE FUCK WHATS HAPPENING WHERE ARE MY ARMS AND LEGS!!!! WHY AM I SOME BLOB WHERE IS THIS DIDN'T I DIE ???!"

Ben found himself in endless white Space unable to understand what was happening. SO ben continued to wander for who knows how long it could have been Months, years even centuries as Ben lost the track of time rather quickly in the white nothingness surrounding him.

"The only thing the only hope I have is that maybe this really is like some isekai. Wait isekai, I remember Isekai yes how could I almost forget."

So Ben started to talk with his hand in an attempt to cope with the insanity of loneliless that was slowly getting to him.

"Yes yes precisely Ben 2, we will escape this we are the protagonist after all hahahaha."

"Mhhh you are right ben1 we must find the black in this white mhh yes we must follow the dao of black"

" Ben 2 you smart genius the dark yes find the dark, but but its all white?"

"Then our Journey must continue old friend"

So Ben and well still just ben started to wander the White Space.

"Will I spent the rest of eternity here?"

"Must be lets just imagine and talk about what we want to dream of."

So Ben continues to ponder and wonder the White Void for who knows how long."
