The moment I died, I heard this voice. It didn't seem like it came from any direction, it was inside my mind. Telepathy? Maybe not. Maybe I'm just hallucinating since I'm dead. Is this what heaven is like?
I take a look at my surroundings. Nothing but a bright white light shines from every direction. I try to move, but for some reason I can't. It's like I'm paralyzed or something like that.
After continuously trying to move for a while, I could spot a figure in the distance. I had no clue who it was, but I did know that they were slowly getting closer.
"Howdy!"
Wondering how to answer, I decide to speak formally, since this person seems to be someone important.
"Hello, sir."
"Drop the act. Just speak normally, I don't bite. Well I do sometimes, though."
"Wait, can you read minds?"
The figure stopped walking.
"Are you really serious?"
So he can read minds, huh...
"No, of course I can't read minds!"
I stared at him blankly, while the person just stood there and laughed.
"By the way, I'm a guy. So you can stop replacing me with 'the person'. Personally, i prefer 'he'."
Holy crap. He can break the fourth wall too? Is he a god or something?
"Enough with the chit-chat. For now, at least. You must want to know why you're here, right?"
I nodded my head. Well, I tried, but I couldn't move at all. Then why could I move my mouth? Also, he looked like he was right in front of me, why couldn't I see him still?
"Oh wait, yeah. I forgot that you couldn't move. Let me take that binding spell off."
After he did some um.. stuff, I could finally move. First I stretched my body, and I was amazed by all the cracks that my bones made. Was my body really that inflexible?
"Wow, kid. You've got some weird fetishes."
"Screw you, man."
"Is that how you treat a god?"
"So you are a god..."
"Of course I am!"
"Never mind that. I want to know why I couldn't move any other part of my body except my mouth."
"You seriously don't want to know why you're here instead of being dead?"
"Uh.. Yeah."
He paused for a moment before answering.
"Well, it's because I don't have enough skill to fully control my powers."
"Wow, you suck."
"You're the rudest human I've ever met."
Okay, now instead of talking about this, I should actually be asking the important questions.
"Anyways, where am I and what's going to happen?"
"Ah, so now you want to know?"
"Just tell me."
"What's the magic word?"
"Please. Now tell me."
"Wrong."
"S'il vous plait."
"Still wrong. Why are you even trying to speak French, human? You also suck at it, you forgot the circumflex."
"Please. TELL ME."
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
"Oh. Well why didn't you say so before then?"
Screw this stupid god. Argh!
"I'll explain now. So since you were stupid enough to get yourself killed for no reason, I thought it was pretty funny and decided to try and bring you back to life because I was feeling nice today."
"Wait, so you can't even control your powers yet you're trying to bring back to life. Are you going to fail in the process or something and then I'll die?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover, you fool. Different people are good at different things."
"Have you ever tried reviving someone before? How do you know that your'e good at it?"
"Well, no. But I'm pretty sure that I can do it!"
Yep, I might die here.
"Let's get on the revival process now. I need to know two things."
I listened quietly, waiting for him to say something. A minute full of silence passed by.
"What are the things?"
"Oh, I'm so glad you asked!"
Oh, so that was it.
"First, I need to know your name. So what's your name?"
"It's Aysel."
He began to speak again, but then he hesitated and stopped. Probably rethinking his choice of words, he spoke up again.
"Aysel, huh? That's an unusual name. It's not a very good one."
I'm not even going to bother arguing with this person anymore.
"Please continue."
"You're so impatient. Next I have to know what type of world you want to be reborn in."
"Wait, so I won't go back to my own world?"
"Of course not. I already told you that I can't fully control my powers. But I can give a world with magic and stuff."
"Ohhh magic. I've always wanted to play with fire. I'll choose that, thanks."
"Alright, so I can finally begin the process. Here's a bit of helpful advice for you though. You'll arrive in the middle of a field as your seven or eight year old self. And the rest is up to you now, see you later!"
Watching as a dim black light surrounded me, my body started to slowly disappear.
----------------------------------------
I feel like there was too much talking and not much actual dialogue. I also plan to make the chapters longer in the future (since this was pretty short), and any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
By the way, what type of magic do you guys think Aysel will get?
