-Eclipse: Chapter 1 Start-
----------------------------------------
Some says that the sun's morning rays are the most refreshing thing in the morning. It gives us vitamins that our body needs. It invigorates us and gives us energy.
Meerkats are one of the species that loves the morning sun. Whenever the exit their burrow in the morning, they are always groggy and sometimes falling down due to drowsiness. However, with just a few minutes of exposure to the morning sun, the are wide awake like a man on coffee.
The old people also say that the morning sun is the best. Even the exercising aunties on the park say that it is the best. But not for me. For me, the morning sun is nothing but nuisance. It is an accursed floating ball of gases.
Why? Because it's a constant reminder that I have to get up and go to school.
Do I want the sun to disappear? No... I want it to remain as is... You might be wondering why I hate the sun but want it to remain right? Well, the answer is simple: The plants grow due to the sun. Animals eat the plants. I eat the animals. Basic deduction, you can easily find out how...
Eh? You still don't get it? Okay, I'll explain it a bit more...
The Plants or Producers store energy through photosynthesis by using the minerals and water it gathers from the ground and using the sunlight to start a chemical reaction that transforms these resources into basic elements that it stores in its body. Then, the Animals or the Primary Consumers eat these plants and the energy stored in these plants are transferred to the animals. Then we, the Humans consume these animals and the leftover energy is passed on to us.
So if there is no sun, the plants cannot grow. If the plants cannot grow, the animals will have nothing to eat and die. When the animals die, I'll have nothing to eat and die. In short: Sun = food...
Simple right?
----------------------------------------
My daily routine is fairly simple. I wake up and make my bed. Go into the shower to do my daily hygienic needs, dress up and then go to the kitchen to eat breakfast. After I've eaten my fill, I brush my teeth and then laze around until it's time for me to go to school.
And then I survive the entire day, go back home and then the real fun beings. I sit in my throne (computer seat) and open the gate towards the r*ot of A*a*ha (boot up the PC and go to the internet). I then scour the endless fields of knowledge for worlds to travel to (lurk in the web and look for any good games and/or novel series) until I go back to my slumber.
That is what it's supposed to happen. But regrettably, it will not.. Why? Because I died. Yup, you heard it right Ladies and Gentlemen (and potatoes). I, your father (hehe, sorry can't help it), died today while I'm on my way to school.
Oh Right! I've already told you what I do everyday but you still don't know me right? Well, its still not too late for introductions... Now without further ado!
My name is ****** * ********* ***. What? you think I'll divulge personal info here? Nope! No sir... nu uh... nope... nada.... anyways, back to topic... I'm 16 years old, and currently on my fourth and final year of highschool in ****** *** *******.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Anyways, my current appearance is not relevant to this story (uh oh.... get some glue!!! The fourth wall is breaking!!!!)....
So I was walking down the road towards my school. As I stop at an intersection I hear a familiar voice.
"Hey! Did you wait long?"
Introducing the School's Student Council President [insert generic name here] with [insert generic Asian characteristics here]. And also my girlfriend... Yup! My girlfriend is the Student Council President...
Ha! take that you stupid dense protagonists!!! (hehehe.... don't worry, you'll become one of them soon)
"Nah, just got here..."
Da*n, no matter how many times I say it, it still sounds so cool!
So we walked together towards our school, chatting about random things from who dated who to unraveling the secrets of the universe. As we stopped by an intersection, I noticed this cute little girl chasing after her balloon in the middle of the road with a speeding truck not so far in the distance that doesn't seem to notice the little girl.
So being the good citizen I am that believes in the notion that the children are the hope of the country, I used my hands to signal the truck to stop.
What?
You expect me to jump in from of that train to save that little girl that I barely knew? Well, excuse me for having common sense and a sense of value for my own live. I like living, thank you very much!
A few moments later, we were back on our way to school.
On our way to school, we passed by a construction site. Now you might be thinking that ' hey! this is the part where he dies!' but sorry to burst your bubble but nothing happened. The real deal happened after that...
Now my death isn't all that cliched or special. Its as simple as that: I died. No crash, no poof, no hocus pokus or any other shennigans. I am just walking with my Girlfriend and then I died. You don't believe me? Well I don't either.
I mean, people just don't die like that you know? Slipping on something and hitting my head in concrete then die, that I can accept. Heck, a good old falling pot to the head or being run over by a car would've been acceptable... But just dropping dead like that in the middle of a conversation? Now that's just unfair!!!!
I still have lots of anime, games, manga and novels to finish!!! Oh, and I still have a date this weekend!!!
GOD! I WANT A REFUND!!!
And then everything went dark...
----------------------------------------
When I came to all I saw was white...
Looking around me, all I saw was a vast expanse of pure white. I tried to lift my body upright, only then I realized I was floating. My mind was racing a hundred thoughts per minute, thinking how, why and what is this place.
Then it suddenly hit me like a speeding bullet train. I was dead...
Not dead as in 'dead inside' or 'forever alone' kind of dead but more like Game Over kind of dead...
"So if I'm dead, then where the heck am I?"
I know that this is not heaven nor hell. Purgatory maybe? or am I in Limbo? Huh, its kinda ironic that I ended up is some kind of Limbo after reading Dante Aligheiri's Inferno...
And then suddenly I'm standing on solid ground. What? Didn't I just said I was floating? Yes I was floating. I was floating but now I'm standing on the ground. Confusing isn't it?
Imagine this, you are floating when suddenly you feel you feet touch the ground and gravity took over.
Done? Then that's what happened.
A bright light suddenly shines directly in front of me. I looked at the ground and used my hands to shield my eyes from the sheer intensity (don't go to the white light!!!).
When the light subsided, I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw was a Goddess. No, really. She really is a goddess, literally and figuratively. I cannot even describe how beautiful and divine she is.
Just imagine the most beautiful girl you saw. Then multiply it by a million. And the result wouldn't even reach a hundredth of her beauty...
"Fret not young soul, I am Taxtia, The Goddess of the Afterlife and Rebirth," she said smiling...
"gah! too MOE!!! that smile is too destructive!!!"
"and you are currently in the limbo."
Ha! Nailed it... Although "Your name's a mouthful! I'll just call you Tia~"
"Eh," She looks at me puzzled while slightly tilting her head to the side...
GUH!!! TOO MOE!!! ALERT! ALERT!
brain.exe has crashed..
attempting to reboot...
reboot failed: Moe meter is overloaded...
