I open my eyes and see well-dressed people surrounding a buff man in a golden chair. The room is made of stone with columns lining each side of the room and windows lining the walls. There are flags and banners hanging almost everywhere. The banners are green with black stripes and in the corner, their is a four-leaf clover. Around me are about 30 teenagers about my age, and for some reason, they look familiar. I think ‘These are my classmates’

The buff guy says “I know that from where you come from there are stories about this, but know that we are not savages, that like to do this, so we will not keep you here, but if you do stay you will be helping this world exist a little longer. You should also know that there is no slavery and we have the best reputation among the races. If you choose to leave we will not stop you nor hate you we understand that fighting for a foreign country you have no ties to is unreasonable. If you do choose to stay know that there is no plot armor you will die if you mess up, and even if you do choose to stay you can leave at any time. MEME [and if one of you already has powers from another world than I quote the first hero king ‘I named the country Kekista so come at me I got anon on my side’”]

I ask “In a battle where are you?” Buff guy says “The front” I say “I’m in and if any of you wants to leave please call your senator and tell them Reaper is still alive and coming for revenge” One of my former classmates say “OMG he has a gun” I try to smile but can't {Fucking smile muscles are too weak} and say “I got more want to see?” As I pull my cloak open and say “What are you buying?”

My classmates move away from me and the buff dude says “We are sorry that we summoned you here but if you want to leave you can no need for violence” I say “The only thing waiting for me on the other side is a smoldering crater full of radiation.”

After a little while, about 13 kids leave and I say “Anyone else wants to go” The little group they formed says “No” The group is made up of 3 weebs 8 guys and 2 girls. 5 buff guys 3 normal guys and 2 fat ones the girls are well normal girls I guess. I say “Anyone here knows how to fight?” 3 of the buff guys say yes. I ask “What did you train in and how long” Alfa buff guy says “Boxing with my friends all about 5 years,” I say “Good, but not good enough. Have any of you shot a gun?” they say no I ask “Have any of you seen someone die or has had someone close to you die” Again another no I ask “Have any of you killed” they don't even answer. I say “It's nice that you want to help them out, but out of the 13 of you only 3 of you know how to fight, none of you have shot a gun and all of you have never experienced pain. You all need to know this is not a game, anime, or whatever you think this is. This is war, this is death, this is pain, this is if you hesitate even for a second you die. Think about this for a day, and know that there is no shame in knowing your limits.”

The weebs look like their delusions are dispelled and the others look like they are actually thinking about it. We are taken to our rooms by a butler. I enter my room and think ‘To fucking huge’ Think of a football field now cut that in half and you have my room. Everything in my room is big, green, and black. A butler comes by and tells me that dinner is ready. I follow him to a huge dining area. He tells me to sit anywhere on a round table. I take the seat opposite of the door and wait for others to come. When everyone is here I notice that the weebs, jocks, and girls are intact but all of the normies are gone. I say “This is some what surprising” They say “What is surprising I say “I thought the weebs and girls were going to leave” They say ooh or something like that then and finally one of the girls ask “Who are you” I say “I am the Reaper or if you don't know who that is, then the name is Azrail Grim, yes I am your classmate” The girl asks “How did you get so pale and did you dye your hair” I say “Shit happens and the first thing you ask is about my appearance not why I am covered in weapons” She says “And that” I say “Revenge you know about that death last year right, that was my best friend” The girl says “But they said he committed suicide because of his PTSD” I say “If I could display my emotions you would be scared never ever say that again if you want to live”

Finally, the king comes with some other people and says “I am sorry for the wait I had to send some of your friends home” The king comes in with what looks to be his wife, daughter, and son. His wife is about his age, his daughter looks 16, and his son looks ten. I look at his son for a little bit wondering what my life would be like if I were him... if only I were him. Everyone is already dinning and I say “I don't feel like eating bye”

I go to my room and jump out of the window. I land on a roof and start running towards the wall of the castle. I jump from roof to roof until I get to the outermost layer of the city. I go to the poorest of the poor area and lay on one of the roofs. The night sky is beautiful I never got the chance to just look up into the night sky I was too busy killing or running to look up. I close my eyes and wonder what my life could have been no death, no pain, or loss.

After cooling off I go back to my room and rest for the night.
