It's the start of A comedy or a tragedy:
Chapter 1:
Sora is a highschool Japanese student
Who's a bit, depressed, his life isn't that great.
Although he was a shut in not long ago,
to reasons beyond his control.
Now he found himself on the streets.
Pretending nothing bad happened as the 'good boy' he was rised to be, he couldn't just complain or open up,
His parent taught him 'really good' to never say a word to anyone, cause good children always know that their parents are ALWAYS RIGHT.
Even if A noisy teacher or a friend asked you about anything related to the matter,
You simply don't answer them, Let The Parents answer, Cause everything JUST FINE.
..
..
At this point it's been more than 2 months of him living outside, he started to smell pretty bad
The showers he took under the bridge in the river proved to be a bit troublesome, to go for.
You see trying to take a shower in a river, in the middle of January, isn't really ideal,
And may end up basically sending you to A hospital or worse.
A thing he can't really afford or even think about.
So he stopped after a few tries.
He was thankful though... He is still alive and didn't catch anything yet
That's a plus or at least something he can
Actually be thankful to God for.
.
.
There was also the fact that
he had a friend at school that actually helped a bit, and cared about him
even though her strict parents told her not to, and to get away from him, she still helped him nonetheless
Not to get anything from him, or to prank, or make fun of him ,
like some people may do, but ... Because...
Well He didn't actually know
But he felt it was genuine and that was enough for him
Even if she turned out to be pranking him or making fun of him, He still thankful for the things she's done up till now
.
.
.
Sora is a chill guy for the most part,
He doesn't really hate his parents nor really feel anger about the situation he's in,
He knows that things like this can just happen to anyone, and he just was unfortunate enough to get into this situation,
He made a small fire with the woods he gathered around,
He lived by the river under a bridge near some some Fields,
So food and water wasn't much of an issue, He can just catch something in the river and drink from it when his thirsty, and it was a bit outside the city so not many people passed from there
And the problem of people getting his situation worse wasn't that worrying.
.
.
He also had someone he help sometimes for a bit of money,
Although that person lived in a very small apartment just him and his old wife, and can barely make end meets,
He offered Sora a part time job,
And also offered him to stay with them,
A thing that Sora end up declining
'I mean I am.no saint, but I am not going to be THAT GUY'
Was Sora thoughts after he declined the offer.
.
.
Although Sora Wasn't really a bad person, He wasn't really that good either, when time calls for it,
And if he needs to steal something to eat he Will.
.
.
Sora is hungry and tired today
He smelled his body.
[Yeah I guess, it's not their fault really,
if they wanted to avoid me because of this, Or to say what they need to say...
But still I am no animal I have feelings too,
Assholes]
He sat under the bridge with a little smile on his face, while he layed on the grass watching the clouds
[Oh that's look like A big chicken... I could go for one, right about now...
Oh Damn it, Why does it have to be Me suffering like this,
God couldn't you do something like this to those handsome good for nothing rich people instead, What did I ever do to deserve this]
Admittedly and Although Sora may not be the most pure natured person in the world (In fact he can be put in the Assholes category)
He still didn't deserve what happened to him,
He knew that, but he also knew screaming his lungs out to the clouds and Blaming God and otheres,
won't do anything to help him, in fact it may end up only making things worse,
He doesn't want to get cursed after all.
[So rise and shine, And keep existing for the sake of Existing Mate,
Till Fate chooses to bless you,
you have nothing to do, but try your best, Hope for the best,
And pray for the worse to fall on those Lucky people instead]
Sora stood up, And started stretching
.
.
A truck passed by the bridge in front of him
[Hey, Hey wake up, Wake up, Boy!]
Like The voice of A certain 'Dad of Boy'
A man shouted his lounges out towards Sora.
[..What the.... I... I passed out?]
Sora said as he stood up, again,
He felt weird as Reality suddenly glitched, Or He suddenly glitched from reality,
He was sure he wasn't sleeping,
but then he was still lying on the ground
'The F##k Did a new update of earth just dropped and broke the everything or something?'
Sora was thinking, As his gamer mind, suddenly shifted towards his Gaming knowledge.
[Hey kid!]
The man shouted again
[Don't ignore me, Damnit!]
The man seemed frustrated, like a father angry at his Son, for not answering him after calling him to go throw the trash.
.
.
[Oh.. Sorry, I just felt like my hopes and dreams was either taken from me or strengthened inside me,
Or maybe both]
Sora walked towards the Old man, leaned on his old truck and started talking to him,
Like you would talk, To your Cool uncle,
Sora seemed pretty relaxed and chill around the old man,
You could mistake them for a stubborn mean looking but good hearted parent and his rebellious good for both, annoying Son,
that the only thing his good at is saying, things old people can't really understand.
[The heck, you talking about, You ate something weird again?]
The old man said with a grumpy voice
[Nah, Just seeing you made me , realize how dark and evil the world of the awaken is,
And how peaceful the world of the dead is]
Sora was messing around , and although he seemed used to it by know the old man still hit him with
[You little, Shit, you still have no manners at all]
And hit Sora to head, to fixed his loose screws
.
.
[So anyway what did you want from me, Some job came out?
, Or did you find me a girl?
I will take one of each please]
Sora kept his messing around tone,
And the old man got angry again
[... Sigh, No, here, Take these and go die in a ditch or something, You maidenless grunt]
The old man handed Him a big bag and before Sora could ask him questions the old man took off, waving his hands.
[That was rude, And here I was trying to be friendly and everything.... Oh I hope I didn't step over the land mine there, or else the next job will be hella harder than it needs to be]
.
.
.
Sora opened the bag, and it was full of goods
From food to few pieces of clean clothes
To personal care products,
Everything was in there.
It was actually impressive how the old man managed to put all of those things inside, considering his big hands and his tendency to break stuff up.
'His wife must've have helped him'
.
.
But again the Old man,
Wasn't really rich, in fact he was as poor it can be,
And yet he handed Sora all of those things,
'Did you have to make in dept to you again?'
Sora was grateful, Even though he had rude snarky remarks,
He still was thankful from the bottom of his heart,
And was set on helping the old man and his wife, if he ever became rich
(Somehow)
.
.
.
Sora woke up again
.
.
This time he was in front of a crash site
Flames in the air
The truck he used to see pass over the bridge and the old man who drove it
Was in the middle of all of that.
The old man, Sora talked to almost everyday, And took care of him as if he was his Son
Was in the middle of it!
Sora didn't understand what's happening,
And didn't know the Hows,The Whats, Or the Whys.
But he knows, that he needs to get the old man out of there ASAP!
.
.
He dashed forward and directly inside the flames,
there were other cars and some peoples around,
It was night time,
And it was a big accident
.
.
A lot of people tried to stop Sora, fro getting closer
But couldn't
He leaped right into it the flames,
And saw the old man,
inside his truck covered in blood,
Flames around him!
Without hesitation, Sora dashed right towards him.
.
.
.
He ran, ran , And Ran, but he felt like he wasn't moving at all,
In fact he felt like he was under the water for some Reason,
and the more he gets closer the further he is from the old man.
.
.
Nothing made sense, It felt like reality itself was Warping around him,
But the adrenaline rush in his blood and the single thought of saving the old man,
Kept him going regardless,
He kept on pushing forward, Pushing and pushing,
Until he was inches away From him
He extended his arm,
Shouted his name as loud as he could,
And was going to pull him out!
.
.
.
But he stopped right there,
He was floating in the middle of the air like a puppet with strings,
Sora was as if he is drowning,
His lungs filled with invisible water,
And His ribcage
and body felt like they were being grinded to powder.
.
.
He tried to scream but he couldn't,
His consciousness was fading,
He hold onto his neck praying for air,
And in all of that time he had his gaze on the old man,
That mysteriously disappeared from the inside of the truck
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
.
.
.
[1, 1, 1, 1, 2,3,4,5]
A voice kept repeating in his head.
.
.
[I am sorry for the inconveniences, there was a bit of a hiccup but everything's fine now... You will be transported soon enough]
A voice spoke right to the inside of Sora mind
It was a mature woman voice.
[W..what!?]
Sora was confused and panicking
He didn't understand a thing
[...If you are concerned... About him... Don't... He will live... I think]
Another voice spoke to him
It was a bit 'Younger' this time, and it was a glitchy, girl voice.
..
..
Sora watched in horror and confusion
as he was transported in a flash
Just like that.
.
.
.
In an instant he slided across a long mystical hall, And was sitting on a chair
.
.
The place was dark and white, dim but bright,
It looked kinda like an intorgation room,
But of something not of Earthly origin
Or at least Sora didn't think,
Any police department will go for this kind of look,
being otherworldly and heveanly like.
'Wait, This is not the time to think those useless thoughts, where am I?'
Sora was thinking as he looked around
.
.
Infront of him was a girl
sitting on a plastic chair, Staring at him quietly
(The kind of plastic chair you expect a final boss to be sitting on)
(...You know the kind)
She is a beauty, with a long blue hair, sharp eyes and eyelashes, and mysterious aura sourounding her,
She feels like one of those true natural Somewhat, mature beauties that posses both beauty and elegance to make people have a hard time just talking to them,
From the sheer Difference in standing and their dazzling appearance.
.
.
Even though Sora wasn't the kind to go all around and threw himself to the feets of a beauty,
But Even Him, Couldn't deny how beautiful she is,
He didn't know why,
It could be this 'Higher' Atmosphere, Or the fact that he feels Very peaceful inside,
But if she were to Ask him to Do something he will probably do it without giving much of thoughts to it.
.
.
[You there, You died... wait.. No you didn't, you got transported here to Me, to review, and kick you out,
if yer not worthy, or if you prove to not be the 'One' ]
She opened her mouth and her Ara Ara, Mature and elegant aura,
flew into the air never to be seen again,
It was as if that Aura was never there to begin with
Even if it is still there Sora was too Disappointed to notice
.
.
Her teeths are aligned, white and beautiful,
but also as sharp as shark teeth
Those things may add points up,
but
From the way she spoke that didn't seem the case,
Those teeth
it felt like she could easily
take a bite off a Steel chair if she wanted to
For some reason those thoughts crossed Sora mind
.
.
She is a beauty alright
but her manner of speaking was a bit off,
To put it simply
she sounded like she had A country side dialect, that she uses here and there for certain words and phrases... Randomly!
the kind of dialect you hear an old man speak with
And she seemed to use it, as if she was born to speak it.
[HEY, You hear me, little Shit, I am talking to you]
The girl pointed at Sora
[Ah... Yes I am sorry, I was a bit busy, Wrapping my head around what happened and trying to explain things]
[Explaining what? that you are retarded]
She sat there for a while
[ Sigh... I am sorry I shouldn't spoke with you like that, the work and the script are tiring me out and tearing me to shreds lately,
And the whole thing with me and you (potential candidate) going for the stupid test... Sigh, I shouldn't have made fun of you for being retarded, Sorry]
She strangly said it from the bottom of her heart,
It came out randomly but
She sounded so pure, And was dazzling saying it,
Even random Sparkles flew around her somehow
Adding to the scene and effect.
Sora almost get blinded looking at them.
[What?... Why are you apologizing for that? I am not retarded you know?
I am just confused... Confused you hear me???
to be honest when I first heard you start apologizing I thought to myself 'Oh is she the kind of person that seems tough from the outside but a mellow cookie in the inside?
That's kinda cute she wants to apologise to me for getting angry at me for her stupid dumbass reasons, But that's alright if she actually has a good heart'
But then you started calling me A retard
And broke my entire line of thoughts
What's that for?
I am a smart person you know???]
Sora explained meticulously
to how much of a missed talent he is, while insulting the girl here and there,
And Getting angry and worked out while completely forgetting that he probably needs to ask some important questions.
[Alright, Alright settled down a bit champ,
we don't want you to go blank on us with all the jabber your talking about,
you know the rules and so do I so let]
Sora intrupts her, While rising his hand
[What rules? And where am I?
Now that I think about it I should've asked you before, and I have like a million question
if you don't mind me asking]
The goddess got a bit pissed from Sora intruption and his way of speaking to her,
She leaned over to her side, With a pissed expression
And she eyed him out
[Do we really need to do that Now, You seem like A SMART Guy,
So why don't we skip the part where you will
be amazed and act all high and mighty and all, After you realize you actually are not dead, And you will Become A 'Hero',
I will act all nice and warm and you act as a fool,
till sometime pass, it becomes to late,
and you figure out in the end our real personalities are different from what we show in our first meeting.
You get disappointed abd feel like I tricked you, while in truth that's how things works]
The goddess didn't seem to be in a good mood...
Probably because of some unknown reasons
'But I already figured out that you have a shitty personality'
Sora was thinking to himself
[Listen here, I've done this too many times and it started to get pretty annoying,
Hypocrites are annoying, and those who act Like know-it-all Smartass Are even more So,
You fall in both of those categories,
So I think you get what I am hinting at SMART Guy]
The goddess was pissed, And Sora knew it wasn't good,
But because he felt he was talking to a classmate he didn't like,
He didn't feel like being all that respectfull, modest, Or caring really.
[Okay then,
what about a little intrudction,
I mean I just got out of a traumatic experience and even if I don't look like it, I kinda care about the old man, So I have many questions like
what Happened to Him??? Is he alive or dead? am I alive or dead,
I don't feel dead, do I look dead?
What's your name?, And why are you getting all angry at me although I didn't do anything,
Are you always this rude or is it especially today?
So can you at least confirm some stuff to me, or something?
So I don't get surprised by the fact like 5 years after a time skip type situation?]
The goddess wasn't Amused at all,
In fact she seemed to get angrier and angrier the longer Sora talked for,
She seemed to be having a bad day before but now, She seems like she wants to kill someone,
She was still leaning to the side, Eyeing Sora out.
[Sigh... You know that you are annoying?
You sound like that 'Alice in the wonderland girl' But 10 times more annoying, Goddammit,
.
.
but alright, Alright,. ALRIGHT
My name's Mei, The goddest Mei, Although we call ourselves Gods we technically aren't, there is only one true god, the one you pray for
and many self serving long lives People and entities that call themselves 'GODS'
cause they have ego problems,
Like a king calling himself a god, They also do that, feel like that, and act on it,
is to bad to simply be called just a king?
Probably not but they wouldn't know, bow would they?
We have powers, Like REAL powers,
each has one or many,
it depends on the god,
thier personality, belief,
parents, extra.
They are strong,
and reigned supreme on many worlds for many thousands of years,
Their powers are connected to their crowds and followers
The more people that pray to Us, the better, and the stronger we are,
Some can even erase planets out of existence,
And once again, I am Mei, The goddess that control the water, as my look may suggest...
...
I said too much ...
But well As I said before my name is Mei, call me Mei, I am a young God, that's still in training, I was assigned to you,
My candidate.
The old man is fine, I made sure he is,
He's at a hospital, he will take componsation , he will live as nothing happened,
and it wasn't your fault in any shape or form...
and if you must know Your parents are probably going to rot in hell,
And no you aren't dead,
And Yes it's an Isekai Situation you are having.
Is this enough for you?
or should I tell you when my birthday is, and what the color of my favorite pajamas?]
She said a lot, Too fast,
She didn't seem to care that much but she also seemed to care at the same time,
She was as random as it can get,
You can't really read her that easily even if you want to.
It was confusing,
and glimpses of her carefree personality emerged in her way of talking and speedy way of getting it, over with.
'She only cares about what she cares about, and no one can make her care for something she doesn't give an F about'
Sora was thinking to himself
She seemed a bit annoying, and hard to get along with, but she also felt
'Weird'
And for some Reason even though everything seemed too unbelievable,
with all that Lore she just dropped at Sora,
He still felt like believing her,
And this time it wasn't because of the calmness and peace he felt in this room,
But it was probably because she just said it as how it is,
And kinda down to earth,
I mean can A god really act and say stuff like that infront of a human?
'Some stuff needs to be tested!'
You see, Sora is kinda smart,
not as smart as he thinks he is but (almost), he is smart
Smart enough to realize he was indeed in an Isekai typed scenario,
...
Or atleast he's dreaming about being in one,
He pinched himself hard and that
hurted him like hell.
Sora is Smart enough to make A quick plan and realize, that he wants to enjoy stuff if they must happen, and act on it,
Not to be screwed by some unreadable lines In the contract.
and he's smart enough to test where his standing is, hence why he insulted Mei here and there,
Testing where he's standing is.
Cause if he was to actually be put in a weird situation like say
'BE SENT TO ANOTHER WORLD!'
He wants to get the best deal out of it.
From his experiences blue haired girls are pretty insane and they can
screw you up if not careful with them
And that only added to his Genius of staying still thinking his Mind out while not being suspicious at all!
(A picture of another useless blue haired goddess crosses your mind, with black bars on her eyes, to avoid unnecessary trouble,
You remember her name and how she is and you think about how life can Screw you up at any given moment)
Sora the Brilliant had a brilliant idea!
He read in An isekai novel
That the heroine started to make threats to the god who was in dogeza in front of her for the mistake he did
With 'or else'
she made her threats and she got what she wanted, they type of almost every Isekai protagonist gets, Everything you wants and MORE!
So he thought of trying that, it worked HER so it could work for HIM right?
I mean he's going to be actually sent into another world, he will be treated as such right?
Luck finally on his side, He will get the Protagonist treatment right?
He's mind wandered for a bit to a flashy vision of him surrounded by Girls, Gold,
And people praising and thanking him for simply existing!
He may not cared that much about the last one but he Sure CARED about the first two.
With a smile on his face Sora said
[Okay, I get the gist of it, which is to say it's like every isekai story but with some caveats here and there, right?]
[YEAH, that's the jist of it, good for you for figuring it out, want me to give you a treat, A massage, or a kiss on the forehead to crown you achievement]
With a bored look on her face mixed with 'You serious' look Mei said ironically.
She leaned down on the side and started munching on something out of boredom and disappointment on how much high her ' Partner' IQ level is.
A thing that for some reason pissed Sora out of his mind,
So he gone for the big Guns!
[ALRIGHT, With THAT BEING SAID, YOU SHITTY GODDESS YOU HAVE TO DO AS I SAY OR ELS...]
Before sora continues his over the top
shouting act he heared a 'bang' and a hole was formed in his chest soon after.
[Bang you are dead, bang your head is blown, and bang The rest of you body turned into ashes And water to feed life itself]
Mei said with a cold voice, while pointing her hand and fingers like a gun at Sora.
Sora was standing up in his act, He looked down in surprise to what just happened
And his chest started to heal instantly.
It hurts a little but not to much,
But at the same time a message was sent and received.
[If you get it, stop your idiotic act and sit down, I am annoyed enough as Is,
and if you are here to make commotion
And make things worse you will leave me no choice but to act as a 'Real' God will do,
when faced with such acts,
Just sit down and quit your schemes,
It may not feel like it to you but you are still in a presence of a GOD!
Those Otome Shit won't work here ]
She read him as you read a wet newspaper,
(She maybe been able to read his mind, he thought to himself)
Sora sat down,
realizing the danger he is in,
He is in no position to make orders
He can make small requests at best and hope that they will be granted,
He is in no position of power,
But he is Like 'if you were caught by some dangerous group while a bomb was wrapped to your head'
Type situation, So You shouldn't step over the line for a prolonged periods of time, Or else you only have yourself to blame if you end up blowing up to pieces.
You see Sora is smart guy, A smart guy that understood that this is no novel,
Nor it is anything he can control the trajectory of, So he can just sit down, be RESPECTFUL and go for the ride.
While hoping for the best.
