Prologue 1 : The being claiming to be God

I looked out at the void before me, overlooking the cars and passersby below.

I had various thoughts, most clear and some confused, and of these thoughts I remembered the words of my grandfather.

The human being is just a beast hungry for desire and selfishness desperately seeking happiness like a hungry lion that will stop at nothing to fill its stomach.

Do what you want in life kid but make sure in the end you don't die like a beast.

"What bullshit..."

I said in a low voice as I pulled a lighter and a pack of cigarettes from my pocket. I took the last cigarette out of the pack before lighting it with my lighter and taking a deep drag while staring at the bright buildings as far as the eye could see and the stars in the sky as a soft breeze caressed my face.

The fear and slight hesitation I felt quickly disappeared, giving way to an empty mind and an angry heart as I finished my cigarette

I took a last puff of smoke before throwing my cigarette into the void.

Maybe it was excitement, maybe it was anger, maybe it was both, but I couldn't help but take a deep breath before screaming at the top of my lungs.

"Fuck you fucking bank I'll never pay back my loan! Fuck you fucking publishing house you won't take the rest of my youth! Fuck you who call yourselves friends or family! Fuck you all you hypocrites, liars, scum of the worst kind! "

"Fuck you the me that can't get it right! Fuck you because you can't change anything and worse you never did anything to try to change anything because of you I lost the person I loved the most! Fuck you because you judge everyone as if you were better when you are the worst of all! "

In that rage, I pointed my doight at the sky as I felt flames burning in my heart and mind.

"Fuck you, you who claim to be a creator, who can change everything but do nothing!"

After I finished expressing all my hatred towards everything, I lowered my head and looked at the void trying to calm down myself then without any hesitation I took a step forward.

I let myself fall into the void, time seemed to pass more slowly at that moment, cars and passers-by seemed extremely slow to me as I fell from the 21st floor.

My mind went blank, I didn't feel anything but at the same time I felt many things while tears were coming out of my cheeks.

So I slowly closed my eyes and waited to crash into the sidewalk, and at that moment I felt the ground under my feet and hands.

"You didn't think you'd insult me and get away with it did you?"

Opening my eyes in surprise, I unconsciously backed up using my hands and feet and found to my horror that I was still on the roof from which I had jumped just two seconds before.

But the most frightening thing was the creature that stood there, in front of me, sitting on the ledge, staring at me with a smile.

This creature which by its sight alone made me cold in the back resembled me in all points black hair, face, size and even by my clothing, except its eyes which was of a purity impossible even to describe it was as if the sky, the stars and I dare to say even the universe was contained in its glance.

At that moment I did not have to question or think, the indescribable awe and adoration that filled my heart at that moment could not be described by any human value and my most primitive instincts instantly gave me an idea about the identity of this being, as if this very information was engraved in my being.

Gathering all the courage that my being contained I stammered with difficulty.

"Are you....Are you God."

These words seemed to have drained me of all my strength causing me to slump to the ground with a shocked look on my face.

"If by that you mean the name you give to the creator of this universe and all these concepts yes, I am."

The lips of that being...no god that looked like me did not move as he said those words.

It resonated with his voice directly in his skull like a thought that went through his mind.

This terrified me to the utmost, I could no longer think, I just sat there frozen like a statue while my forehead was covered in sweat.

He slowly got up from the edge of the roof and walked towards me with a smile before stopping a few steps away from me.

"Oh, here you are, very scared, I thought you would be more reckless after the insults you gave me a few seconds earlier."

Hearing this my legs began to shake as my entire face was now covered in sweat.

"I... I... I apologize..."
