It’s dark.
What kind of place is this?
Where am I?
Didn’t I just die?
In the middle of the unknown, these thoughts kept running in my head. Oddly enough as bizarre my situation is, I felt no fear.
In fact, I cannot describe what I am feeling, right now I’m not in pain, nor am I cold or hot, there is no discomfort, yet I cannot say for sure that this situation is comfortable for me.
A while ago just now, while working in the factory, without even a warning I was shot in the head by the gangsters that decided to rob the facility just to scare the other workers from doing anything that would compromise them.
Just how pathetic was that? I was literally the innocent lamb you see in films that dies for no reason and gets forgotten fast.
It was just a normal day in my life, I was processing machine parts then suddenly after hearing some macho masked guy shout ‘This is a robbery! Don’t move!’, BANG! Some unlucky person just died, and that person was me.
God surely knows how to joke on people. He saw that my life was so unfulfilling so he decided that I should just be ended and spared from the prolonged agony of living.
Then, should I thank him?
“You know, the God from your homeland who created you has long departed from your realm and moved on to create more beings, and most probably did not give a damn about your death young sire.” A stoic voice suddenly echoed in my head.
What the f*ck?! Who said that?! I was never told there’s anyone besides me here! Or is it another person who died miserably like me? Thank goodness.
“No, I’m not as pitiful as you, and technically speaking, I was the one who was alone here all along. You were the one who suddenly showed up Gen Zhi Qiang.” The same voice resounded in my ears once more.
It seems that he knows my thoughts huh, but how does he know me? And how the hell did I end up here?! Wasn’t I dead?! Where the hell is this and who are you?!
A short period of silence went by as I waited for the voice’s response, “Nah, your primitive brain cannot fathom where you are yet. Most probably you wont even understand where you are so I guess it wont hurt to show you since you are a pitiful bug that died a pitiful way.” A strong hint of faked pity can be picked up on his tone and way of speaking now.
This sh*tter has a sharp tongue alright. But all of a sudden my surroundings suddenly got clearer, like a switch has been turned on inside a dark room, I regained my sight and my ability to speak all of a sudden.
My body was floating suspended in something and in front of me is another middle aged guy that looks so well off in life although I cannot guess the origins of his clothing. A typical winner in life. He was lying sideways leisurely as if he was posing as a model, and he seems to be reading a book, and I cannot even recognize the letters in the cover.
Slightly lowering the book in his hand and half-turning his face towards me, the person spoke in an overbearing tone. “Alas I must have been forgotten for so long some ant dares to think of me ass a sh*tter when he clearly is the same species as a turd. Young lad don’t you also excrete wastes to relieve yourself? How do you feel seeing your kind exit from your bottom?” The other guy stated these words as if spiting me and proving his words were the most common of all knowledges.
“Who are you? Why am I here? Is this heaven?” I can’t help but ask the person in front of me.
Well this place is truly bizarre, its as if I’m in the middle of the northern night sky and there are countless stars surrounding the space we are in that seems to be a globe.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
But looking closer to the stars I was taken aback. It looked like a galaxy inside a marble! What the heck is up with that! This is like some shocking scene out of an American film! What the serious f*ck!
“Ah the pitiful pleb is awed by this inferior scene where I decided to rest for a while. You are from somewhere your kind called Earth right? And you guys are pitifully weak and has to rely on tools to live? No this isn’t heaven, but yes you surely are dead and I also don’t know how the heck you arrived at my space. Come to think of it, it is indeed intriguing.” The man closed his book and moved his stare up and down to me as if looking at some lab specimen. “You sure you’re not a descendant of someone with a high position in your realm?”
F*ck it’s creepy. If what this guy said is true that God has left us so long ago, and lots of things he said really feel surreal to me. But he’s looking at me like I’m some fancy dish, sh*t. It’s frightening.
I can’t help but curse nonstop inside my head. I just died and somehow landed beside some existence like a God? And his stares are giving me the chills. It’s making my phobia act up.
Please don’t be gay, please don’t be gay, please don’t be gay.
With my face turning pale I hurriedly muttered. “Y-your holiness, I am but a humble human from earth. I died a pitiful death, I would offer everything useful left of me but please spare me from your desires.”
His eyes widened and spat at me angrily, “Holiness my *ss! What f*cking desires?! In countless eons I have screwed with countless fairies and other beautiful existences and left millions of descendants! How dare you think of me as a homo! You can’t even pass as a trap from your world’s standards!”
Clearly looking at me with disdain in his eyes, his gaze is still creeping the hell out of me. I can’t help but think that if I blink just even once he will pounce on me. I died pitifully not only because of the robbery incident, but because I also died a virgin. Not even once in my whole 20 years of living did I get a girl to have sex with. Now this old winner in life is bragging of his achievements in front of me? Am I not even worthy of a peaceful afterlife?! Screw all this!
“F*ck you! Even if I died as a virgin I won’t allow you to pierce me from the behind! Have some morals you foul sh*t!” I’m shaking when I visualized what this ‘God’ can actually do to me, my damn phobia sure sucks.
“Sh*t son, I was already existing before the thought of being penetrated from the rear was considered a pleasure! You better erase those moronic thoughts inside your head or you be alive to see another day! Or not since you’re already dead aren’t you?”
Mock, disdain, sarcasm, this old bastard is just a old lonely troll. Why am I this unfortunate that even in death there is no peace for me?
“Who cares how old is a sh*tter like you?! For all the novels and manga I have read while I was alive existences like you are particularly old and odd thinking. Who knows what’s really going on inside your head? I’m a proud member of the trust no one camp!”
“This little fool really dared to speak to me like this, for countless eons I was respected and revered by countless beings from the 300 realms. And this little turd really dared speak to me as an equal. Am I really that inactive that I was so forgotten?” Not a hint of anger was shown from his words. In fact there is a tiny hint of glee, or even worse, mischief from his tone.
If I was in an ordinary place I am sure as hell I should’ve been sweating buckets just because of that look he has on right now.
Argh damn, screw this all. If annoying this high and mighty bastard will be the last thing I could do with my pathetic existence why not? The heavens even trolled me, who says I can’t troll this god? “Respect your mom, I am already dead what else do I don’t da-“ My speech was forcibly stopped by another unknown reason, which most probably was cause by the guy in front of me.
I had no other fear than being made into this old bastard’s toy, people on earth are pretty extreme already, how else could this being get? I’m already dead, I lived a short life and it has been like hell since I was young.
What else is to be feared when everyday was chasing me to my grave.
“For a severely inferior being, you have guts. Even if your foul mouth spouts crap, you aren’t like others who begs for stupid wishes huh.” The old bastard that looked like a middle aged winner in life spoke as if he’s suddenly deep in thought.
“Very well. Since I am bored and you have yet the rights to speak to me as an equal. Prove it to me that your guts are real. I will be waiting above the realms when you stand as another singularity. Don’t disappoint me like those puny Gods you little crapper.”
After his words were spoken, right before I can raise my middle finger since I was able to control my body again, a film of light encased my body and I felt like I was being pulled to a certain direction. The farther I went in the faster it became.
As to where I will arrive I have no idea whatsoever.
You said become a singularity huh, whatever the heck that is I will achieve it and shove your head up your ass you mother*cker.
What the f*ck is up with this light, it keeps dragging me into slimy, disgusting places! Even the smell is intolerable! Screw this! I’ll make sure to make that troll pay!
The light case went faster and faster and I experienced so much things that I wish I would never remember even in my next life. Then all of a sudden, everything went dark.
“Alas, it has been so long since I, a peerless existence experienced excitement. Let me see how far you will go small being.”
A big smile crept up the man’s perfect face, and it was surprisingly bright as if stars were shining from his eyes.
Watching intently on the direction he sent off Gen Zhi Qiang, he sighed while a satisfied look showed on his face as if he remembered something funny.
“Oh right, from his world there seems to be a popular thing with novels and such. Let me see what he can do if I gave him something similar.”
A.N. Yoooo this is my first story that I posted online. Please feel free to criticize and guide me in the future. I have really no idea if I made the right names, but with some help from some senpais I got the names from the site 2000 names.
Gen Zhi Qiang - 根志強
I just translated it with google translate idk if its right. Sorry if there are some mistakes with the meanings and such. I just saw that Gen means a root, and Zhiqiang meant, the will is strong. Since my main character will be someone who is definitely a coward but strong willed.
I’ll try to update fastly but I’m really inexperienced so please bear with me. Stay safe everyone!
