Chapter 1:

Classical isekai

That Time I Died


And the sun is shining in the sky. Clouds, with different shapes, move as the wind blows at them. Birds, singing in joy, are flying, seeking sticks they would use to build their nest. Under all this, that is happening, a boy is lying on the ground. He is looking. Looking at the trees swinging as the wind moves past them. Looking at the sun shining, and the clouds floating.

On his right, there is a knife, covered with blood that would flow to the ground changing the shining white snow to a dark, dark red. But he didn't mind this. As there is nothing more to mind. There is nothing more to worry him. As he knows, he is alone now. As he knows, there is no time left for him to worry.

So there he lies on the ground with peace in his heart. And with his last breath, he looked at the sky while quietly saying in his mind:

"Yo, what the fuck? I'm dying lmao".

You're probably wondering how I got here, aye? Well, cover yourself with a warm blanket and find yourself a comfy position, because this is gonna be a long, long journey. There's gonna be deaths and blood and everything you could ask for. Swords? Yes. Magic? Yes. Science stuff? Yes. And finally, is this an isekai? Yes! What did you think? So now, with all these introductions gone through, we can finally get started.

I was an eighteen years old high school boy because you know, classical anime protagonist stuff. The other thing you would've never guessed is that I was also a loner. But this, this will blow your mind: during classes, I wouldn't be sitting at the corner, near the windows. I usually sit at the frontline, near the teacher. Even though I wanted to act like an anime main character, there were always a bunch of people already claiming the back seats.

Anyway, one day I was at the grocery store buying stuff I wanted to eat. On my way home, there was a truck coming at me and it was at that moment when I realized, I was jaywalking. I gazed upon a big truck speeding toward me at the full speed. The lights of the truck shone brightly into my eyes. I felt my heart beating, as the truck was approaching me. I felt my body trembling, as it was approaching me. Then, it hit me.

“Wait”, I said in my head, “I don’t I just move?”

After realizing the amazing life hack, I decided to spin to the other side of the road, for just standing there getting hit would have been stupid. So stupid indeed.

After successfully dodging death and realizing that I might have been the smartest protagonist there is, a loud noise came to my ears. I turned around to look at the truck that had just braked and saw how the door opened and a big man with a black jacket stepped outside. The man was at least one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, but that isn't relevant, isn't it? What's relevant is that he pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at me. I looked at him but the bullet was already in my stomach. With unbearable pain, I fell to the ground. The metallic smell of the blood filled my nostrils which was kinda relieving actually.

“My nose has been blocked, lately. At least now I know it isn’t about any kind of serious illness”

Excited, I tried to grab my phone and call my family to tell them that my nose has healed, but in vain, for my vision has already started to fade and so did my strength. But those weren’t the biggest reasons for why not.

“SHIT!”, I said in my head, as I remembered, “I live alone!”

As time flew by, I started to forget what happened. All I knew was the feeling of nausea, as there was no longer the knowledge of what happened.

“Where am I?”, I asked while trying to move my trembling arms.

I tried to stand up but there was no strength in my legs. I tried to look around but couldn't. All I could do was lie there, on the ground, and close my eyes as I no longer had the strength to keep them open.

I heard the wind howling and the rain pouring down from the sky. I heard leaves making sounds leaves would make as the trees were slowly swinging side by side. And suddenly, there was no sound to be heard.

Suddenly, my eyes opened and I found myself on the bed, lying by myself. Finding it hard to control my body parts, I decided to lie there doing nothing. All I could see was a dark ceiling made out of wood.

"Somebody is coming", I said in my head as the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Suddenly, a door opened and a man, wearing what would appear to be a shirt made out of leather, came to me and lifted me. While carrying me, he walked and suddenly stopped. Looking in the same direction he was looking at, I saw another man holding a baby with a bigass head.

"Do you know who these are?", the man, who was holding me, asked.

"An ugly-ass baby", I answered in my mind.

While looking at the baby with a head bigger than my ex's boyfriend's cheetos, pride filled my heart for I was glad not having to be that baby. But it was the moment, the guy holding me, said: "That is me and my beloved son", my soul shattered.

"What?", I wondered, "Last time I checked, I was a high school emo trying to get through his existential crisis, and now I am a mere baby with a head bigger than a fucking elephant. How did this happen?".

These thoughts filled my mind until I suddenly remembered what happened: a random truck tried to isekai me and after realizing I was too overpowered for him, he summoned a man in black to shot me to death.
