He opened his eyes to find himself in a certain place that was white and filled with emptiness. The place didn't seem like earth at all, it seemed like another dimension.
He was lying on the ground just as he was lying when that truck hit him. He didn't waste time standing up from the ground and begin glancing around in confusion.
'Where the fuck is this place?'. He thought to himself while still glancing around with a confused look on his face.
He couldn't seem to comprehend where he was even after glancing around for a few minutes, but what he knew was that this place wasn't earth.
He was still glancing around when he remembered how he died. A truck hit him so hard that he couldn't survive it, he died by the hand of a non-living thing.
Well, he couldn't blame anyone for his death though, he couldn't even blame the driver. Everything that happened to him was as a result of his actions.
He covered his ears with ear pods while listening to music and walking on the road. And because of this, he wasn't aware of what was happening around him.
He could have chosen to cover only one ear with an ear pod just as he has been doing when listening to music and walking on the road. But he didn't do that, and he suffered the consequences.
'Well, life was meaningless anyway. Getting killed that way wasn't the best option either'. He thought to himself.
After that thought ran through his mind, he began laughing. You know this situation of remembering something that happened to you which you found funny and laughing? That's exactly what was happening to him.
Remembering how he died was making him laugh...
He didn't have the strength to laugh after that truck hit him 'cause he was so weak, so he was laughing internally. But now that he had the strength to do so, he couldn't help laughing.
After he was done laughing, he began glancing around once again in confusion. And that same thought ran through his mind...
'Where the fuck is this place?'.
The truth of the matter was, he still didn't know where he was.
He was still glancing around when he heard a voice say,
"Look at him glancing around like a fool, come on, move forward".
Jay shivered a little the moment he heard that voice, then he thought to himself,
'Who the fuck is that?'.
"Aren't you going to move forward you moron?". The voice resounded once again.
He didn't know where the voice was coming from, but the voice told him to move forward, so he began doing so.
As he was walking forward, he began thinking about the fact that the voice had insulted him twice calling him a 'fool' and a 'moron'. The person that owned the voice must be an abusive person.
Well, he kept walking forward until he saw a certain man sitting on a chair that seemed like a throne. Then he walked closer to the man and began wondering who he was.
'He's definitely the one that owns that voice'. Jay thought to himself while glancing at the man.
The man sat there for about a minute glancing at Jay without uttering a single word to him. And Jay did the same, he just stood there glancing at the man without saying anything to him as well.
Then the man's voice suddenly resounded, "Welcome to the 'Temple Of Purity', a place where a lot of things can be made possible. A place that stands high above many other places".
Jay nodded his head a little the moment the man said that. But there was something he was curious about, he needed to know who this man was...
And he didn't plan on keeping it to himself, he planned on asking the man who he was. So he voiced out,
"I have a question, who are you?".
The man shook his head a little with his face bent down the moment he asked that question. Then he glanced at him before saying,
"That's a little rude, young man".
"Was that rude? I didn't know, sorry. I am just curious to know who you are". Jay's voice resounded again.
"I'm the god of transmigration". The man stated.
"The god of transmigration?".
"Yes, the god of transmigration. Didn't you hear me well the first time? Try to leave your ears wide open".
Jay shrugged a little the moment the man said that. No denying it, the man was rude, he's been using abusive speeches since he began speaking to Jay, he wasn't acting like a god at all.
..He claimed Jay's question was rude, but he's been the one speaking rudely all this while.
Saying he was the god of transmigration made Jay scrutinize him from head to toe. Firstly, according to the kind of imaginations Jay had while he was on earth, gods were supposed to be old men, have white beards, dressed in white garments, and so on.
Even if they wouldn't be looking old, at least, they'd have white beards and be dressed in white garments. That's what he'd watched in movies and so on...
But according to what he was seeing here, this god wasn't looking old in any way. In fact, he was looking so young and handsome, and he didn't have white beards at all.
As for his dressing, he was putting on a black suit, black trouser, nice black shoes, a black hat on his head, matching them all with a nice sunglass.
His swag was too much, he didn't seem like a god at all.
Jay was doubting that he was a god. His doubt led him to ask,
"Are you sure you're a god?".
"What kind of question is that? Of course, I'm a god".
A kind of doubt was still evident on Jay's face after he said that. But guess he was a god because for him to be in this place shows he wasn't human, he must be a kind of supreme being.
..So he has to be a god, this Jay has come to discern.
"What is making you doubt that I'm a god?". The man's voice resounded again.
"Let's not talk about that anymore, I believe that you're a god now". Jay stated.
The man just sat there glancing at Jay after he said that as silence ensued...then he started laughing all of a sudden.
He was laughing out so loud, and this got Jay so confused. Like, what the fuck is this? What the fuck is wrong with this god?
'What is making him laugh? Did I do anything funny?'. Jay thought to himself with a confused facial expression.
The man laughed for minutes non-stop until he was satisfied. Then he glanced at Jay, and Jay didn't waste time to ask him,
"What was making you laugh?".
"I was laughing at the way you died, it's funny, wouldn't lie. You laughed at the way you died as well, that means you also found it funny. After managing to escape a near-death experience, it was a truck that killed you, a non-living thing,
There's a very high chance you would have tried to struggle when that guy tries to rob you, and you would have gotten shot. But he didn't see you, so you were able to escape that,
Now, after escaping such a frightening situation that could have ended your life, it was a truck that killed you. After escaping getting killed by a living thing, it was a non-living thing that ended your life. Isn't that funny?
Among all the people that I've come across that were transported to this place, your death is among the funniest".
After the god was done saying that, he began laughing once again. But this time, he didn't laugh for too long...it only lasted for a few seconds.
Look at a god laughing at the way a person died, what kind of god was he? That was the thought running through Jay's mind as he was glancing at him...
But this was enough confirmation for Jay to know that this man was truly a god. He knew the last events that led to his death, he has to be a supreme being to know that.
If he wasn't fully sure that the man was a god before, he was fully sure now.
But he couldn't help but attest to the fact that the man was rude, he wasn't acting like a god at all. Though he was a little offended that the god laughed at the way he died, twice for that matter, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
All he wanted to do now was satisfy another curiosity of his, and this curiosity was,
"Why was I transported to this place? What is my purpose for being here?". He inquired of the god.
"Well, you were transported to this place so you could be given another chance". The god responded.
..A kind of surprised expression appeared on Jay's face the moment the god said that.
