Sleeping soundly, Jason lay on his mattress. A bright light flashed, immediately waking up he saw a violet and emerald portal appear above his head *POP*

Dead? No, I’m still aware, unless heaven and hell are real, maybe I’m in limbo? No, very unlikely I wasn’t a bad or good person, but I helped where I could. So, if I am dead and that lot is real, I would most likely go to heaven. But maybe I broke some laws or something and so I’m going to hell?

God knows, I do not. Though I never believed in God I was kind of apathetic to it all, so maybe that’s why I’m here in this, nothingness? Void? Oh well. At least I can escape that boring place. Working 9-5 every day always staying late to help out where I could was quite tedious. Maybe I'll just meditate in the void, sounds boring but at least It’ll be better than my old life. Or maybe this is just a dream. “Hello, can anyone here me?”

A resounding pop resonated causing a sound wave that moved Jason back a little before he slowly move back to where he was previously.

A humanoid shaped void with swirling galaxies in their body popped in. An instinctive fear took hold of Jason as he stared at this entity in front of him. The only word he could think of right now was death.

True death not just body death but soul and mind death. It was like looking into the eyes of the reaper, no emotions came from the entity as it started speaking.

“Hello, human. You have been selected. This is your new universe. Please note that you will receive help in a moment, you are currently cut off from the system.”

“System?” Jason spoke aloud, no longer feeling the same fear that was there a moment ago. His head sprang with new Ideas.

“Yes, Human. System. Please wait a moment, this universe is currently disconnected and requires an aether boost to initiate the link.” The entity spoke with a now board look in its eyes.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

“I hate it when the system decides to start speaking through me, honestly its annoying but that’s the price when you want to be an admin.” The entity spoke aloud staring at the boy with a questioning gaze. “So, what’s your name? Though you could pick one for yourself, most of the humans I’ve come across get a name from either the system or their parents.”

“Jason, though I guess I don’t need it anymore. The orphanage gave it to me, but I never really liked it.” He looked down at his feet, noticing that they weren’t actually there. It looked strange like Schrödinger's cat, his body was both there and not, in a state of perpetual motion.

The entity noticed this and started speaking “Don’t worry, the soul is a... well your too young to know that. Its something cool, you will learn it at some point, but I doubt you will use it any time soon.” Winking at Jason the entity started to smile.

“You’re doing that on purpose aren’t you, now you have to tell me come on man. Wait are you male?” Jason stared at the entity with confusion.

“No, I’m not, the race I’m from don’t use genders as we don’t give birth like you humans, we create our children we just need enough aether and then we can shape the baby how we want. Some of my race even create a universe as children, like I did.” With a smirk on their face, they looked at Jason.

“Wait don’t tell me” Jason said with a complicated look in his eyes.

“Yeah, this is my child, the System asked if I wanted to create one for a soon to be arrival and I said yes. If I said no, it would have been fine, but I felt like it was time you know?”

Eyes wide, he looked at the entity, Wait I need a name, they know mine, but they haven’t said theirs. “So, what’s you name then galaxy creator, also why am I so calm, I’m pretty sure I should be panicking right about no”

“You are currently experiencing a side effect of being in soul form, You can call me admin or if you really want to know my name it is */%&*!*/”!&%**&” Admin smiled at Jason as they said this.

“Anyway, I guess it’s about time. The link should be ready in 5 more seconds.” The admin with a glint in its eyes said.

*LINK ESTABLISHED, PLEASE WAIT* A monotone voice sounded in his mind.

Darkness consumed Jason, the void had surrounded his perception.

“See you later new friend, Good luck and make sure you don’t kill my child.”

A resounding pop resonated causing a sound wave that smacked Jason moving him back.

I guess admin has left then. He sighed internally, blacking out and losing consciousness.
