PAIN!PAIN! nothing but pain , why does it hurt so much! please someone stop it!

PLEASE.........

He suddenly woke up. He was not burning anymore. What a relief! finally its over, i should tell them..........

wait tell whom what? wait what is my name?

He looked at his surroundings, He was lying in a plane field of grass. All he could see was this plain land  with grass almost as if there is no end to it. There is bright sun in the sky. There were no trees to be seen anywhere. Just plain lush grass everywhere. He must have been lying there for some time because he was feeling  a bit stiff. He got up and checked his body, he was feeling fine in fact even great! just as he was about to move he heard a voice.

"Hello how are you?",

He was stunned and started looking around  to find the source of voice.

"Sorry and according to rules you cannot see me till you satisfy some conditions."

He immediately recovered from the initial shock and asked,"but this rather inconvenient,i am unable to concentrate on what you are saying without knowing the source."

"OK, how about this?"

Suddenly a red ball almost half his size appeared near him.

"So this the source now, anyway coming back to the point how is your body? you are not feeling pain anymore  right?"

Then he remembered the pain and his entire body went cold.He started asking questions,"whom am i? and WHAT was that pain!?"

Red ball was silent for a second,"Well I cannot answer the first question properly, but as for the second question, well you see you were burned alive.  You should have died in matter of seconds, but your enemies made it so that you suffered for almost two days.... it was really painful to watch."

He took sometime to process it and asked again,"burned alive? what did I do to deserve that?"

Red ball answered,"Your planet was attacked by foreign species, and this war continued for a very long time.You are part of the native species of that planet. During your generation your species have finally won the war and forced them to sign a peace treaty. You are one of the seven people responsible for your species's victory. But extremist of the alien species could not handle the truth that they lost and in a fit of rage they tried to kill some your species to incite the war again. You thwarted their plan, but in process they caught you and tortured you."

He was silent again and looked like he was trying to remember something. He could not remember anything! so he asked again,"If what you said is true then why is that i cannot remember anything you have said? why do i remember only pain?"

"Ah yes! You see technically your soul should not have come to this place. You should have directly transferred to heavens vault, where you would spend rest of eternity enjoying your life. But some of the elder gods have different opinion regarding your afterlife. You spent your entire life fighting against the invaders. But when your species efforts finally come to fruition  you got caught and were tortured. The only reason why you died early because the elder gods felt pity for you. If not you would have suffered more. You were a true hero and a martyr. If your soul got transferred to the heavens vault now, you  will only enjoy your life as a mortal, but after seeing the services you have rendered for your species the elder gods want you have more than that. They want to give you a shot at a new interesting beginning."

"Can i meet my species?"

"And this exactly why your memories are removed! Going by your previous patterns, again you will go back and you will again dedicate your life for your planet. We don't want that for you anymore. This is a new beginning. Also its not like you cant go back to your previous home planet. If you put enough effort you may a get chance."

He was silent for a very long time . From his facial expression you can see that he made his choice,"alright then, lets do this . So where am i exactly?"

Red ball which was hovering near suddenly started going up and down like it is excited!

"Welcome to eternal battle front.  A placed filled with endless opportunities. But where hope exists so does despair. This place is fraught with peril. But the few who survive it become kings and maybe even gods! Right now you are standing at the very entrance to this world. To be accurate you are still not in it. Before you can go into it you need something fundamental. you need a name. "
