The beginning of a new life

On a good vacation day in Rome, our main protagonist's life is about to change in a way only one could have known.

Today is 25.7.2030. My name is Matthew and I am currently having fun in Rome with my friends. Today is the day we are going to visit the smallest nation in the World, the Vatican! I am quite the sloppy person and hadn't looked at the clock. I said to myself “Oh shoot, im going to be late!”.

Just when I could hear my friends' voices say “Come on, let's go already!”. I could also hear a whisper from somewhere else saying “Matthew, Matthew, listen to me”. But I shrugged it off as my imagination.

Once we arrived in the Vatican I could feel the holiness all around me, it was like God himself was present. And again I could hear the same voice calling to me “Matthew, Matthew, hear my voice”.

I started wondering whether it was someone, but quickly moved on. But in that moment I felt a tugging on my heart to stop and listen, but I ignored it and truly would come to regret it soon.

We went forward walking across the beautiful art and history inside Saint Peter's basilica. Once more I heard the voice but this time louder saying “MATTHEW, MATTHEW, BEAWARE, A DANGER IS APROACHING”. I only had a moment to react, but before I knew it, I was dead.

Or so I thought, before I had died the one who had been calling my name, who was now standing in front of me, had saved me. And in that moment I realized, I was in the presence of God.

God said in a powerful yet soothing voice “My son, I have saved you from death and I want your help with something”. I was confused why an almighty God whom I only somewhat believed in, would not only save a sinner like me, but also need my help?

Then God said “ I have chosen you my son. You were meant to die by a stabbing attempt, but I teleported you away to here before the gates of heaven.

I have decided to give the only second chance after death in history, for now and for forever in the future to you!

I want to test you, Matthew, whether you are worthy of the Kingdom. I shall send you to another world where you shall help me with saving it from the evil that lays in wait for the good.

I was mind baffled. I didn't know what to say. I started to question both God and myself. I said “I can’t do that! I am not qualified for such a big job! I barely even…..”.

But then I stopped, realizing it was all a part of God’s plan, and I have always craved an adventure, maybe this could be it.

It is time, said God. “Are you ready for a new life in another world?” God asked? I hesitated. I asked if my friends and family would be alright and God said “Not to worry I will keep them safe”. I finally gave my answer and said, yes.
