2 . Remember !! , Is This an Isekai ?!!

POV : Omniscient

There was silence , calm , blankness . Leo found it hard to explain what he was experiencing at this moment . A certain detachment that filled his entire being . Or was this the inner peace he had always desired for himself , he did not know . It felt like it . Or had he achieved a higher realm of consciousness after death . 

'Where was he ?' He did not know . Or more likely , he could not tell . It wasn't like he was seeing anything in the first place nor was he a scholar in the matters of what happened after death . What he was 'seeing' though was . . darkness ? He did not know . Was seeing nothing mean you were in darkness or did it simply mean you could not comprehend what was right in front of you , or did it mean there was nothing to see in the first place . He really did not have an answer . 

 ' What was he ? ' He had asked himself that question but failed to come to an answer . He did not remember much but the little that was slowly coming to him said he had died . 'A hero's death ?' What was that , it sounded nice . Like something that he knew was important .

' So did that mean that he was now a soul ? '

'Observing ' himself in this 'darkness ' , it was like seeing himself as a white flame ? a cloud ? or something transparent . It was like he was a mixture of all the things and also at the same time neither of them . He did not understand . It was weird to explain something that was supposed to be unexplainable . 

But he felt a certain excitement , satisfaction ? As if a question had been answered in his mind . Was this what happened after death . You become this cloudy blob drifting infinitely . Or was there something else that waited for him at the end of this tunnel of darkness . 

' Remember Leo . Death is nothing but the next great adventure ' 

Yes !! His name was Leo . But , who said those words to him . It was like a distant memory . A far of memory that was quickly coming and going . This filled the now known entity Leo with a certain fear . As if to lose that memory of those words would destroy him !! Because he was sure they were important . He was sure they meant more to him than just being some simple words . Because the person that said them was important ! 

'DO NOT FORGET !! '

His 'head' started hurting . He refused to forget !. He did not know why but he knew he would regret if he ever forgot that core memory that was somehow getting far away from him . It was a struggle . Between him and whatever was trying to do this to him and he rejected such an idea ! 

It was frustrating !! It was maddening !! It was shear torture !! 

He wished he could scream but he had no mouth to do so !!

He wished he could rage but he lacked a body that would allow him to !

Was this it ? Was he going to lose the little he had . Would he lose the memory of that voice , those words that he somehow knew belonged to someone he held in high regard ? 

" Do not be afraid my child !!! "

A voice , a female voice . Gentle but at the same time powerful spoke . And a change happened . A change that this voice commanded and made happen . It was like a wave of power had been released from the voice . Like the chains that were trying to pull him to the deepest darkness had been shattered . It was like the first light piercing through the darkness . It was like , he was free . 

And everything came back to him . His memories , his emotions , his goals , his thoughts , his ego . It all came to him in an instant . An instant shorter than a nano second in flashes of images like a movie speeded up to the max . He felt full , he felt complete and he felt the struggle he was having reduce almost disappearing

' A hero is a symbol of hope . . . . .. a hero never gives up . . . . would you like to be my son ? . . . .. . a hero always smiles . . . . . I'm so proud of you !! . . . the best quality of a hero is his heart and soul . . . . '

He remembered everything and it was with that knowledge , with the confirmation that he had died , with the freedom of death that he started laughing . A laugh only he could understand . A laugh his father could understand . Because his father was the only one who could completely understand him . And he was happy with that information . Completely ecstatic with everything , because he was okay with his own death 

" Hahahahahahahha !!! "

It was boisterous and lacked any worry at all . Any of his humanly worries were gone with his death . His heart felt truly free . Truly light and he felt truly comforted with this knowledge . Most importantly , the constant sadness he always felt when his father died seemingly went away . It was like his heart had finally come to terms with the fact .

" Giggle giggle "

The female entity also laughed . Catching on to his contagious happiness and Leo for the first time realized what this being was . He had some guesses and they would most likely be correct but he did not know . It could be wrong or it could be correct . Only the entity in front of him could tell him 

He focused on the being still laughing . And he found that laugh cute . . . It was enchanting to him , captivating in a way his mortal soul could not understand . Weirdly in a way , he felt embarrassed . Something he rarely felt . For some reason he felt conscious of himself. As if the whole of his being was laid bare in front of this entity and that fact in a way was extremely humbling .

That fact almost made Leo start laughing once again . Had death made his usually buried emotions come out . That was surely something to be studied !! He did not know why , but just being feeling any sort of negative emotion in this state felt almost impossible .

" Have you finally gotten your memories ? That's great !!! "

Leo could ' hear ' her speak . He did not know . How could he hear when he had no body . 

" You haven't realized yet , you have your body back . Or at least what I made to act as a body . " She giggled silently after those words and it was only then that Leo realized it was true . 

He gazed now at his solid appearance . A strange state between being transparent and opaque . But it really was him . It really was his body . He turned to look at the being or whatever he thought was her . He could not really see her . It was weird . Like knowing something was there but being unable to see it . Truly strange . Or was it simply his mind that was unable to comprehend her appearance . Like those entities from the bible .

" Now . I know you have a lot of questions and yes I can read your mind . But for now , the main question that need to be answered is why you are here and what happens next . "

Their was a certain authority that the being was now speaking with that caught Leo's attention . Did he care that the being could read his mind . Not really . His life was boring in his own view and had nothing really much of importance . Everything he had done was a way for him to distract himself from this boredom . . .and he also wished to be a hero for those who lacked one . A simple desire .

And it really was true , he did have a lot of questions for instance . What was she ? Or what was next or could he meet his dad !! That was something to look forward to . 

" Patience Leo . All questions will be answered in time . And did you say your life had no importance !!! Unbelievable "

She did something he could not see and a cloudy sphere appeared in front of him . The clouds started moving , a process like expansion and contraction , bending and shifting and finally forming an image on itself . No multiple images started forming one after the other . From one scene to the next all of them of him . No all of these were his memories . The things he had done in the world from different angles and to different people . Different perspectives and different people that were influenced with the results of his own selfishness

" A new era . A new age brought forth to a world that was supposed to be dead all done by one man !!. Countless would have died , billions but because of you , that all would have been prevented . "

The image changed to the moment he made a cure to most diseases plaguing humanity , then to his innovation in space travel , then to the orphanages and to the homeless he had helped then to the next and the next and Leo for the first time was amazed . Truly transfixed by what he had done . He had never one to care for the results for helping others . He just did it . And he felt like he understood why his father always smiled such a proud smile as he looked at him , because in his own view , he could see the beauty that he had failed to see

" This is why Leo , each and every decision you made . Each ' unimportant ' choice you stepped on . Every one of your so called boring thought . Helped the world in one way or the other . It is because of you that the world was allowed such a chance . " 

Leo was overjoyed . He felt like laughing once again . To know his life held such importance was something to be happy about . He was sure his father would have been happy to . Happy for the results he had achieved . Because Leo felt he had lived a life that he was satisfied with and that was all his father had said mattered . 

" To do so much but to receive so little . . . That is unacceptable !!! " She sounded angry , indignant and Leo somehow found that funny . Somehow he did not think a higher being would act in such a way . The scene in the orb changed to the point of his death . The crowd that he had attracted but that did not matter now .

". . . And a wasted chance at love !! How horrible . . . " Now Leo felt insulted . Was this being talking badly about him while he was still here . He saw the orb's cloud morph to become an image he remembered before he closed his eyes for eternity . Beside his cold body was the girl he had saved . Still as beautiful as he remembered and still crying her eyes out . Even now , her pink eyes caught his attention and he could not understand why . Truly a weird occurrence ! Or was this the love the entity was talking about . To not have met but still feel love . . . 

" And that is why . I as the Supreme Goddess of Love !! The most supreme emotion has decided to offer you a second chance at life , love and adventure !!! "

She sounded pumped for some reason and Leo could practically imagine her jumping in joy while clapping her hands happily . The image was cute enough that he cracked a smile . 

But besides that , the real answer he wanted to know was why this started sounding like one of those like some sort of reincarnation event . Like those isekai stories his father like to read along with him . Was he getting a sort of Hero treatment . Would he be sent to some dead dangerous world and tasked to save it . That sounded exciting , but at at the same time it felt terrifying

 Should Leonardo be worried !!!
