Alexander never thought that his life would come to such an abrupt end.
A young man with a renowned reputation in the gaming world, he harbored an almost pathological obsession with the virtual universe. His gaming room became his sanctuary, with the keyboard and mouse as his sacred instruments.
His fingers danced on the keys, agile and precise; every keystroke was a calculated move in battle. His eyes fixed on the screen, unblinking, capturing and analyzing every frame of the fight.
His soul immersed in another world, filled with enemies, allies, glory, and dreams. Victory after victory, triumph after triumph filled him with incomparable satisfaction and pride.
Yet, behind the scenes, the cost was silently accumulating. His intense focus and fatigue wore down his body, deteriorating with each passing day. Concerns and advice from friends and family were disregarded; his world was reduced to the virtual battlefield.
In a quiet late-night gaming session, just when victory seemed within reach, Alexander's heart suddenly stopped beating. The room's lights remained bright, but his world dimmed. His body slumped in the chair, pale-faced, while the game interface waited for his next move, a move he could never make again.
The character on the screen stood frozen on the battlefield, mirroring the sudden stillness of Alexander's life. The world that once excited and enthralled him now seemed distant and callous.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
His dreams, obsessions, talents, and life all vanished into the virtual world in that one fleeting moment.
Alexander felt his consciousness being sucked into an unknown vortex. Everything before his eyes became blurry; light, sound, time began to lose meaning. Then, suddenly, he felt a powerful force pulling him into another space.
There, he encountered the will of the God of the Dead.
The God of the Dead is an immortal entity, ruling the boundary between life and death. Its form is not a specific physical body, but an eternal will, filled with profound wisdom and unimaginable power.
Its voice resonated in the void, deep and powerful, encompassing Alexander's soul, making him feel an overwhelming sense of awe and insignificance. The will of the God of the Dead seemed gentle, yet filled with resolve and authority.
It held the secrets of life and death, understood the laws of the universe. Its gaze pierced through Alexander's soul, as if seeing his past, present, and future.
In its presence, time and space lost all meaning. A mysterious force permeated the surroundings, a cry of the dead, forgotten memories, eternal silence.
The God of the Dead was not a cruel ruler but a just judge. It not only judged the souls of the deceased but guided them towards new life or eternal slumber.
It told Alexander, "Your life is not over; your soul has a new mission. In this boundary land I govern, there are countless mysteries awaiting exploration. Are you willing to accept this challenge, Alexander?"
Alexander could only nod in compliance, for before the God of the Dead, no one can resist.
