Chapter 1: The Birth Of Death

A child tired with his live decides to end it all. He Grabs the Kitchen knife with both hands. He holds it towards his chest. He takes a deep breath and plunges the knife into his chest.

He expects to feel pain, but he doesn’t, he feels warm and cosy. Like after you wake up from a good night sleep. ‘Thats not how I thought death would feel’ He thought.

“Morning George!” a cheerful voice calls to me. Would call to me, I have no friends, my family all died in the car crash a year ago.

“George. Get out of bed!” The same voiced called again. “Seriously”, I heard footsteps coming up a flight of stairs. I heard a door open, and the man walked in. “George, you’ve only been dead for a month!” I heard the sound of sheets being ripped off and the warm and cosy feeling disappeared. I realized that I actually was in a bed and I opened my eyes. Wait I have eyes!

“Wait, I’m dead!” I shouted as I sat up in bed and looked at the strange man. He looked like a celebrity, with a sharp black suit and professionally sculpted black hair.

“Yes…. and no” He took a deep breath “You died, but I took your spirit before it went to the afterlife. With your spirit, I created a vessel for your spirit so you can more easily communicate with me and for you to not panic about not having a body.”

“Huh?” I don’t get it.

“Seriously, ok…. basically…. you died, this is an alternative afterlife. That easier to understand.”

“Yeah that makes a bit of sense. Are my parents here?” I ask with hope.

“No, there souls were eaten by the devourer when it got out of its cage because it smelled a delicious soul. Your family has a special soul apparently. I have no idea what it means. ” He started chuckling.

“So, why am I here” I asked. Why would this strange man take me away from the afterlife? Who is he to have the power to do that?

“I’m bored and lonely. I know that you can help relieve both.”

“How?” I’m getting really confused.

“Well, you are a person so loneliness check, and because you committed suicide, you are destined to reincarnate. You see gods don’t like people to commit suicide and just go to the afterlife, they want the people to be happy. They actually send the person to a world where their dreams can come true.”

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

“But won’t you stay here since only I can reincarnate?”

“Nope, in fact I’m going to reincarnate with you.”

“Ok, when will I get to be reincarnated.”

“Soon, I just want to tell you one last thing.” His voice lowers to a whisper. “My name.”

“Ok what's so special about your name?” I asked confused, wow I am getting confused a lot lately.

“I’m the god of Hell, Hades!” He proclaimed “A gods name holds tremendous power.”

“I’m honored that you would tell me that”

“My name is ‘$%#&$@*#$^@%!#’”

“What did you say”

“Oh yeah, you have a young soul, of course you can't understand my name, when the time comes you will know how to say it”

“Ok, so am I going to reincarnate now?”

“Yes, WE are going to reincarnate now!”

Its dark. Where am I? I feel something next to me. I don't know what it is. Suddenly I felt pain. The pain was awful! then it all stopped. Then I heard a voice.

“Mistress, you have two beautiful baby boys.”

“Here give me my son’s.” Said another female voice. Probably my new mother.

“I’m so glad they came out alright!” She started sounding very emotional. “I can’t believe we actually had children honney!”

“I know” said a man “Who knew a Draconian and a Leviton (like a draconian but with a leviathan) could have a child, I’m so happy they are alive”

Draconian, Leviton, those sound like fictional creatures, could it be, am I in a fantasy world!
