Traversing The Omni-Realities

'Fuck, is this how I am going to die?' A motionless figure could be seen lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk of an empty street.

___

My name is Noah. I am just average, nothing special about me except for my slightly good looks which I have never acknowledged. Guess my self-esteem goes down the gutter.

As a teenager, I have enjoyed my life well...huh let's word it like this I guess we should use the term quite well. I have partied, I have made out with girls damn it was only one but it was one of my best. Imagine your first-ever serious kiss apart from that childhood kiss from a neighborhood playmate lol. And damn the feeling of making her weak on her knees. I guess for a knowledgeable amateur like me it was a boost for my esteem. So girlfriend huh, I didn't have a lasting relationship though I dated two pretty girls in my teenage life. I don't know why I suddenly lost interest with time.

Pretty funny though I was a magnet of bold chicks who were more courageous than my low-esteemed self. I guess that was what led to a boring relationship. I can't complain though, at least I explored a girl's body even though we didn't breach the last barrier. Anyway, I discovered I wasn't made for teenage love. I liked being by myself.

Anime, novels, manhua, manhwa- you name it. I was a common weeb. In my studies, I can say I was very bright but not yet genius-level like Einstein. With an IQ of 150, I aced my studies like a breeze and made it to the university. As a science enthusiast, I applied for the medicine and surgery course.

My parents urged me to do it, well what can you expect from a family of medics. When you go to Rome do what the Romans do.

But...but...Sadly I didn't get the chance to start my freshman year at the university. I experienced a tragedy damn it!

Since I live in a quiet neighborhood am used to walking in streets with little to no souls present in those areas.

I was walking slowly with a pair of earphones in my ears, listening to some of my favorite music, oblivious to the impending doom that awaited my poor self.

"We had a deal Tyson, where are the fucking goods I ordered?" I could hear a sudden cold voice in an abandoned gloomy alley.

This made me tense as I removed my earphones slowly to listen to my surrounding.

What the fuck! I cursed inwardly as I looked in the direction of the voice. What do you expect? It was a surprise. I smelled trouble oozing from that voice even though I hadn't met them in person. My instincts were sharp something I realized since I was born and they have helped me in avoiding a couple of bad situations that may have happened to me.

"Drake cool down man, I got the goods but ain't giving them to you until you answer one of my questions."

"What the fuck are you on about, huh?"

"I am talking about the crystals that you have."

"I got no crystals on me. Are you stupid?"

"The boss suspects you. His crystals disappeared when you were in charge of the transport of his cargo."

"Goddamn! I knew it will come to this."

"So you took them, Drake. I had my suspicions and your greedy nature busted you."

I was quietly hearing all this and made sure to remain standing silently.

"So it has finally come to this huh," The voice of the man named Drake sounded calm.

"Come to what?" Tyson's voice asked

Suddenly I had something clicking and a panicked voice of Tyson.

"D-Drake, what the hell are you doing man?!"

"What am I doing, I am going to drill some fucking bullets into your head!" Drake's cruel voice resounded and a bang could be heard.

"Fuck! I am going down with you," Tyson's weak voice angrily spat and with that, another bang resounded.

I, who was standing there, was startled by the gunshots. Damn, I am in dire trouble.

An encounter with crazy thugs was a bad omen for me considering the distance between me and them was narrow even though I was hidden from them, we were just separated by a corner.

I moved my body instantaneously trying to run back to the way I had previously come from.

But it was as if time was moving slowly and that I found my movements quite sluggish despite the adrenaline pumping furiously in my body.

I had barely moved three meters away from the incident when suddenly I had a frail sound of a click and then a gunshot resounded behind me.

Fear. I smelled death within that sound. It felt as if the grim reaper had set its sight on me. That bad premonition I felt was inching closer to me. I felt something furiously poking my spine and extending its way to my stomach.

Pain. I felt a nerve-jarring pain. Pain beyond anything I have ever felt. It was hellish.

Before I fell, I turned my head behind me to look at the perpetrator of my current predicament.

Standing there limping with a bloodied leg was a large man with scars all over his face. He looked like the depiction of the word 'ugly.' A cruel smile could be seen on his deformed mouth.

"Boy your luck ends here, I can't have a witness snooping around. You thought I didn't sense you hahaha!"

That sadistic smile, damn it, I lamented for my misfortune as I lay there on the sidewalk in my blood that was profusely coming out of my wound.

I looked at the sky as my whole life flashed in my eyes.

'Father, mother, your beloved son will be leaving soon even though I was quite a stubborn kid to you. It's now that I realize that I cherish you.' I cried as rivulets of tears cascaded narrowly down my face.

'Is this how it feels to die?' I asked myself as I felt my consciousness fading slowly and coldness started spreading through my body.

Being killed by a sadistic thug is no joke. That fucker aimed for my spine. The nerve!

If there was a second life like those in the novels. I will make sure to enjoy life and if I had the power, I will find ways to connect with my parents again.

'Who am I kidding? I should stop lying to myself. I don't want to be scolded eternally for dying foolishly,' I chuckled inwardly and the last trace of my consciousness left me.

And with that, Noah left the earth after experiencing death.

His parents were saddened and grieved for the untimely departure of their only son. They had no idea that their son would have a different life and he would be a terrifying existence. He will be known throughout the Omniverse!
