Chapter 1:

Death

I died, then became a Death God


It was cold and dark.

I can feel the darkness extend to the ends of this place, it's like I'm in a void, filled with nothingness, only me and this freezing cold.

I can feel I am falling deeper and deeper into the void.

There is no turning back now.

Did I really died?

Is this real?

Is my existence just like that, just that fast, then gone?

Wait, what happened to me exactly?

I remembered eating a meal, then after that..... hmm... I went to my room, my stomach was in a lot of  pain and I felt really dizzy for some reason, a-am I poisoned? But why and by who? 

Thinking back while I was still alive, I haven't done anything at all, even a friend I have none. If you could count a childhood friend a friend, who you don't really made friends with, it's like you've grown together and seem to know each other type of friend, not like the friends you make in school, where you get to know about them and do things with them and the likes. I was always alone in school, my classmates never really initiates a conversation with me, the only time I get to talk to them is when there are group works, but even then our only conversation there are only about school works. 

My parents are always away abroad and I live by myself in our house, it was my home since I was a child. Maybe that's why I don't know how to get along with others? Is it because I lack the confidence, that maybe they would bully me for not having my parents show up at family days and events at school, maybe. 

The only person here with me is Serene, my childhood friend. We were not that close, she just grew up with me. She's a loud and carefree girl that always think she's a level ahead than you. Her parents both died when their house burned down when she was five. From then on she lived with us. Even though she's living with us we didn't really interact with each other, we just minded our own businesses.

We go to the same school, she's quiet popular in school I must say. When we were in middle school, she asks me to not go to school with her at the same time because she always says someone might see us going to school together, and I don't know why but does she get embarrassed by that? Aaah I really don't get girls.

But she changed when we got to high school, she now doesn't mind going to school with me, heck she even invites me. Serene does the cooking in the house, she's quiet a good cook too. She now always try to start a conversation with me, but afterwards will make fun of me sometimes, it's like a playful bullying, don't know if that's the right term or not.

I feel like it's kinda weird, her interacting more with me all of a sudden, then me dying all of a sudden, I know it's kind of a stretch and it's bad thinking bad things about others but.....

...she poisoned me didn't she?

But why though?

I don't have the littlest clue as to why.

Does she hate me?

Did I do anything wrong to her? I think I haven't though.

I wish there is some kind of god here in this place that I can ask questions with.

I'm surprised there is none, god isn't real after all huh?

It's just endless nothingness if you die, where's the heaven you promised? Maybe I don't get to go there, I don't know.

How long have I been here? Just falling down in this void? I don't know anymore.

....

.......

.....

Light.

I-is that a light?

No.

I think that's not a light.

But it's glowing, how is it glowing?

It's glowing, but its a dark glow, what the heck is that.

It's like a ball, like the pictures I see when I search about a black hole.

But it has this dark blue and purplish glow around it.

I'm getting close to it.

Really close now.

It's warm getting near it, this is the first time I felt warm since I got here.

"C-"

I can here something coming from it.

"Come back"

C-come back?

"Come back now"

What?

"You can come back now"

My hands reached for the warm dark glow of the orb.

Then suddenly......

"Welcome back, sleepyhead."

I'm back in my room. Wh-what the hell just happened?

And Serene is in front of my face, waking me up with a smile.

"S-Serene, what are you doing in my room?"

"A-and what happened to me?" I asked her very confused about all of this.

she then answered " You just died, then became the Death God"

"S-say what now?"
