(Point of View: Max)

"It's so cold. Where am I?"
"Why is it so dark here?"
In a dark space with nothingness—no light, no sound, no odors—Max floated like a cloud with nothing to support him.
"What is this place..?"
Suddenly, he felt something indescribable. His heart beat rapidly, like he had just run a marathon.
"It's your spiritual mind, or you could say, your subconscious," said a voice.
Max panicked. "W-who is it? Come out!"
A dark shadow started to appear, its eyes glowing bright blue. Max was shocked by the sight.
"Y-you..?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm you, and you're me."
"You are me? What?"
"Wait, are you a god?"
"God is a single mighty entity who governs all. He is the law of everything. He has no shape. And I dare not claim to be a god."
"What? So, God is real? Wait, but who are you then?"
"As I said before, I'm you, and you are me."
*_*
"I know this might be complicated for you. Let me ask you something: if you could become the strongest in the world, what would you do?"
"Well…" Max fell into deep thought. 'If I can become the strongest…'.
"There is no way that's possible. Now that I'm dead, what use is being the strongest?"
"Do you regret the way you lived?"
"Well, yeah… I don't have a girlfriend yet. I didn't manage to earn money or get a job. I thought I'd help my father retire from that hard labor job. The thing I regret the most is that those bastards get away with ease from every damn thing. They deserve to be punished for doing this to me. But I can't do anything to them. And the thing I regret most is that I can't clean this society of those scums."
"I see... then live your life with no regrets."
"Wait, are you going to send me to another world like those isekai novels with magic and kingdoms with systems?"
"I might not be capable of doing that. There is only one life. And that's it."
*_*
'What's wrong with him? Where am I, and what am I doing?'
"You don't have to be so confused. You aren't dead yet, to be exact. and you can go back anytime."
"Really?"
"Yes. And it seems like it's time. Remember, live your life with no regrets."
"Wait…"
Then the next second, he was gone.
"Until the end, he didn't say who he was. Is he a ghost? Am I possessed?"
Suddenly, his head started to hurt like hell again. He felt a slight warmth around him.
