Chereads / Lord of lightning / Chapter 2 - Meeting

Chapter 2 - Meeting

As soon as my mind began to clear, I immediately jumped up, only to fall back the next moment. And the point is not that I have completely turned into nothing, rather, on the contrary, in some strange way I am absolutely whole! Moreover, my torn and dirty suit was restored, and even my coat remained intact! And together these factors really stress and worry me, because theoretically this cannot happen.. Somehow today I'm already tired of repeating this phrase. That's it - from now on anything can happen. But now it's worth taking a look

Rising from the floor again, I almost fell on it again, but I think in this situation it's normal - it's not every day you see a golden floor! Looking around, I was shocked to note that not only the floor, but everything else was golden. Everything else included the walls, the ceiling, the antique-looking entrance doors to this huge hall, and the ledges in front of the two thrones. This is not... well, yes, maybe, but it doesn't fit into the heavenly office. Then a strange comparison came to mind: had I really ended up in purgatory?

With my last thought, I was literally knocked to the floor by the sharply heavier air and I clearly felt someone's anger. I was by no means and it is unlikely that after death I became some kind of empath or psychic. It seemed that the anger emanating from the red throne was noticeable, take a knife and you can cut off a piece, it was so dense.

Two humanoid figures began to appear. On the right, white throne, a four-winged angel appeared... or rather an archangel.

And at this time, a creepy figure appeared on the second "chair". Red-skinned, horned, with huge leathery wings on his back.

As soon as my last thought took shape, I was thrown even harder onto the floor of this hall, but then I heard the angel laugh and the white-winged one waved his hand in my direction.I haven't felt such relief for a long time; I suspect that if the angel had not helped me, I would have simply been killed in a couple of seconds... again.

-"I dont need your help, "colleague," I just taught the insolent a lesson, or do you think that I would have gone too far because of a couple of insults?" – Red asked, turning his head slightly towards the four-winged one. Hmm, what other insults? Or was it that my appearance so upset him that he considered me an insult?

The angel, who wanted to answer something, choked on air and looked at me. I don't understand, I'm generally standing there silent, why blame me? Then I was pinned to the spot by the evil look of a demon flushed with rage... oh, no, there was a mistake, he is always red. As soon as I thought this, a smile appeared on the angel's lips, which he covered with his hand, and his shoulders shook with suppressed laughter. The demon just burst into flames, literally. In the blink of an eye, disappearing from the throne and appearing in front of me, he grabbed me by the throat and lifted me off the ground.

-"One more word and I'll crush you, after all, you're not the only exceptional one, so we'll quickly find a replacement for you." - He told me . My heart literally sank to my feet, and fear and resentment appeared in my soul. I don't even understand why they're strangling me, because I'm silent, so why?

A loud, melodious laugh came from the side of the white throne, while this horned monster threw me into the column. The column was fine, but at least my back was broken, I think I even heard the crunching of ribs, at least I hope it was the ribs and not the spine.

It's better to remain silent about how painful it was for me, it's enough that a loud scream could be heard throughout the entire throne room, but what?

I'm not a hero to endure pain while biting my lip. During my monologue "about a wonderful life," the demon became more and more inflamed, and in the end it completely became a flame. When the performance ended, a red, pumped-up figure appeared before me, clad in leather armor and with a long fiery whip in the hands of this monster. Looks like they're going to kill me now.

-"You understand that I won't let him be harmed, right?" –asked the angel.

- "Yes, I don't even want to kill him anymore, apparently, the stress affected him so much or he hit his head too hard in a past life that it comes back to haunt him after death." – The demon said, waving his hand in my direction. From this movement of his, with a terrible crunch, all the bones knocked out from the blow against the column fell into place. This time I was able to restrain myself.

Finally, everything stopped, and I was able to stand on my feet again, proudly looking at... the floor.

- "Keep in mind that we hear your thoughts, so be careful what you say in the future." - Looking at me, the demon explained. Was it difficult to tell before? True, another question immediately arose in front of me - how can I monitor my thoughts? These are not words when you can just remain silent, thoughts themselves arise in your head and it's impossible to follow them!

- "Human." – The whip lover said with a sigh. I had the feeling that I had just been insulted, but I couldn't understand how.

- "Not for long." - Added an angel. I don't understand, do they want to create something out of me? I will not let it!. This time there were chuckles from both sides.

- "You can use your head whenever you want." – The demon said, wearily waving his hand at me. What was the point of this now?

-"I think I should explain what happened to you." – The four-winged one began to speak. – "In your world, as you already guessed, you died. We removed your soul from the circle of rebirths in order to offer you a job. To answer your question in advance, the work will be well paid if it is successfully completed, of course. We didn't wait for your rebirth only because we didn't need a dummy with zero memories, but a performer familiar with the history of the world where you were to work. And if you go through rebirth, you will lose all your memories, and indeed everything, only the basis of your personality will remain"

Here it is, however, I don't understand why me? As soon as I opened my mouth to voice the question, I received an answer.

- "Yes, because you have a power that can be awakened, and you will receive advantages in that world, without which it will be difficult for you to complete the task - it will be difficult to survive!" – the demon said in a cheerful tone, clearly enjoying my dumbfounded face.

So, wait, how can I know the realities of another world if I don't know all the laws of my own!

- "It's simple, you will find yourself in one interesting world, supervillains and heroes, also known to you as My Hero Academia."
