Darkness... All around me for miles to come.
I woke up hours ago at this point, maybe days. I'm not sure to be completely honest, everything feels like a blur to me. All that I know is that nothing around me makes sense anymore.
I remember me grabbing out, reaching for my T.V, and then... Nothing. Darkness. What can only be described as a void, an endless expanse of bluish black.
To be honest, I should be freaking out right now but the only thing on my mind is how weightless I feel. Like a feather, falling in the endless expanse of the universe, not a care in the world
It's almost.. Peaceful
"Not far off, however it would be more apt to say that you're a blubbering whale of a neet floating in the domain between life and death"
A light voice, barely audible and yet completely understandable.
Come to think of it, I've been here stuck in the endless cosmos of nothingness and now a random voice tells me that I'm in what amounts to Purgatory?
"Who are you? Who's there?! And what do you mean neet! I went to college I'll have you know!"
From out of nowhere, a stoic looking man with a mischievous grin appeared right in front of me. To say he was imposing is an understatement, clean shaven, chiseled jaw with slightly curly brown hair. He's good looking, and to be honest, I hate that the most. He has everything I never had
"I'm the god of rebirth! And you, you amuse me! And of course you're a NEET, you did drop out and live in your room for the last years of your life!"
(Amuse? Who does he think he is?)
"Look mr god of rebirth, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm not a NEET! I'm a powerful man with a plethora of money on my side!"
That should get him on the right track, after all, I AM the son of one of the biggest CEOs ever, even if he did pass away
Before I could blink however, I was looking down at my body, laying there on the floor with the god standing right next to me. My lifeless body on the floor the TV that I grabbed where my head used to be, just lying there.
"Is this also you?"
I hate him
But aside from him demeaning me, what's going on? It looks like its been days and nothing has changed in my room. No one has come to look for me, not even the cleaners who usually come once a week
After another short blink, we were back in the darkness, the god standing over me more imposing than ever
"Do you really think that your father would want you to be back in that world? After all that he built, after all you destroyed, do you think that you deserve a second chance? I mean, I haven't seen a more pathetic death in a long time"
A single thought crossed my mind at that moment, despite everything that was going on, it finally hit me.
I don't want to die
"Yes. I deserve to have another chance"
Silence. Stone-faced silence. I sat there as the god stayed silent, sweat beading down my face as the fate of my being stood in the balance.
As quiet as it started, it disappeared just as fast
All I could hear was the cacophony of his laughter, the god tightly holding his stomach as he stared at me, his finger pointing at my face. I couldn't even contain the shock from my face as I stared at him in bewilderment.
"You're a laugh! Bahahaha, please, please tell me why you think that you deserve to be saved?! After all your awful deeds, why do YOU deserve a second chance!"
Nothing but continued laughter. It's embarrassing, so much so that despite the situation I had to yell back something
"I have so much potential! I have smarts, and gusto! I have to come back! Look at what I did when I was younger!"
I believe it too. Despite everything that I've been through, I believe that I am worth it.
I mean, it's not everyone who can be a top student in the country right? Not everyone can lead a company like my father, and I take after him!
"You've done nothing since you were younger. You're useless."
What?
"You've done nothing but hurt all those that cared about you, even recently you turned away your baby sister. The same sister who, later on that night, died from being stabbed selling herself on the street for money."
What does he mean? She died? No.. She can't have...
"She sold her body to a man, needing money from the collapse of your fathers company. After he passed, everything went downhill, and now all that's left is a shell and collapsing family. And you turned her away"
The weight of the situation hit me like a truck. How could she have died?
I know that she wasn't in the best condition but.. Why didn't she just sell?
Did she think she could revive the company? I know she was stubborn but.. Why?
My little sister, the one that looked up to me when I was younger.. Died because I didn't help her.
"Please... let me go back. I need to help.. I need to--"
You're pathetic
"No. You don't need to do anything. I only brought you here because I liked the way you died, it was funny. but this? This is just pathetic. Your sister died because you turned here away, and instead of doing anything, instead of helping or asking questions, you went back to using your lotion and laying away in self pity. You're not here because you're smart, you're not here because your someone's kid, you're here because you made me laugh. And that amusement is gone. What will you do now that your use is up to me?"
The aura from the god in front of me quickly changed, from something light and peaceful to that of death and destruction. Futility, despair, that's all I feel in his presence now
If I run now, I won't get away. And where would I even run too. No there's got to be something I can do, something.. Anything
make him laugh more, make him like you
That's it. I'll make him laugh, I'll make it so that no matter what he wants to keep me alive so that I can continue to amuse him
What can I say that will make him like me? What is so outrageous that he will keep me alive
What in the world is even close too..
"Reincarnate me!"
The first thing that came to my mind. Without thinking, it just came out
The look on his face didn't show anything, so I sat there, sweat dripping faster and faster down my face, the same face begging for his life.
"Reincarnate me and I'll show you something that you've never seen before! I'll- I'll become a better man! One of power, of strength! I'll even kill gods if that's what it takes! Give me a modicum of power, and I can take on the gods themselves!"
I'm not even sure what I'm saying at this point. Killing gods? I can barely stand in the body that I have and I'm spouting about killing gods.
And what is he wants me to take on gods stronger than him? I can't even bear myself in his current aura, let alone try to kill him
"Please! I'll become the strongest man in the world! You'll regret everything if you don't----"
Darkness. Silence. Then all at once screaming, words that are unintelligible.
"XXXXX...XXXXXXX!"
Yelling from a noble looking man. A proper old style suit. What in the world is going on.. Did I? Did I do it?
"XX XXXX XXX XX XXXX!!!"
He's screaming at me, It's kind of humiliating
Just where am I anyways?
Looking around all I see is a bed.. No wait. There's two women near me as well, in what looks like maid outfits. And I--
I'm being held. By a woman no less, one with the softest blue eyes I've ever seen
When was the last time I was held? Was it when I was a child? Before my mother died for sure
"M A V I L O N"
One word, that was all I could understand. Coming from the woman holding me. Mavilon...
Suddenly I felt a rush of exhaustion, then as quickly as the lights turned on, they started to fade. One word, and a god smugly laughing and he stared into my very soul
Granted
