Chapter 1 - DARK
(1st POV)
A single thoughts was inside my mind at this moment,
« dark »,
everywhere, anywhere, everything was completely dark,
not a single particle of light existing around me,
I can't move, I can't sense my limbs
No
Wait
I don't sense anything except darkness
Why ??
I can't smell anything
I can't hear anything
I can't touch anything
I can't taste anything
But why can I see
Well maybe the word « see » is a little exaggerated
It's more about having knowledge about the darkness that is surrounding me than really seeing it
It's like knowing about how to use your eyes to see,
A sort of instinctive knowledge about how somethings work
In my case its more about how things are
But I understand myself
I think at least
Wait
Who's I ?
No no no…
What is I ?
What am I ?
I am myself but.
I have no idea what Myself Is or ..
Wait
I see, I am me
Me is what I am
Me is my identity, my memories, my wants, my needs, my fear and my value
Lets see what am I then
My identity is my name, William Robert Celver, a 27 years old bookseller, who lives in New Haven, a city in the state of Connecticut just north of New York.
My Memories are not as clear to me as is my identity, they are coming back to me slowly bit by bit, but they dot seems to be clear, I can remember them in the 3rd person like I am watching a film, like they are a part of me but not as important as before.
My want are nonexistent or at least not right now
My need are nonexistent or at least not right now
My fear are nonexistent or at least not right now
My value are nonexistent or at least not right now
Oh..
It seems to me that my feelings are suppressed by someone or something
At least It explains the level of clarity and the calmness I seems to have right now
But then come the question that's been bothering me even while my feelings are suppressed
Where am I
And
Why am I here
I suppose I died
Well I don't really know but that could be the beginning of the explanation as to why I am here
Maybe religion are right and there really is something after death
But I don't think they are completely right as I don't seems to see God
Maybe it work like the Buddhist think rather than the christian
Not that it matters anyway
Maybe I need to call someone
But how can I call someone when I don't have a mouth or anything that seem to work like it
Maybe if I scream in my own thoughts it will work
Well no harm trying
« HELLO, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE ??? »
Then, light suddenly came
The darkness who was everywhere around me disappear in one single moment
Like it never exist
Like it never matter
Maybe it didn't
Maybe the darkness was a protective mesure coming from my own mind
It can explain my own instinctive knowledge about the presence of said darkness
Or maybe I'm wrong
Doesn't matter for the time being
« Hello little one, you don't need to scream anymore as I am here »
A voice resonates inside my mind for sometime before everything return to calm
Is this God ?
Or just a dimensional beings who take care of the deceased soul
« Ohh great so humm.. , what are you?? »
« God of course, well one of the Gods »
« Ohh so the polytheist were the right one »
« Not really entirely right but they were the closest one at least, but well I don't see the point of having this talk with you »
« Oh I see… so hum.. why am I here .. and huh.. where am I ..? »
« Well we are in the void right now and you died so of course you appear there duh »
« Euh.. ok so what's gonna happen now ? »
« Usually I would have to cleanse your soul and send you back to the cycle of reincarnation but I don't feel like doing that right now »
« So you're just gonna drop your job ?? »
« Yeah at least for now, I might change my mind in the future »
« So about me ? What's gonna happen to me »
« Didn't you already ask that same question »
« You didn't really answer so … »
« Oh yeah forgot to do so, well I don't really want to do something bothersome so might as well take a nap »
« Euh.. so..? »
« You really are a slow human, I don't want to explain things to you but I sense that I will never be able to sleep with you still here so I might as well tell you things so that I can finally be able to nap »
« Thank you I guess…. »
« Ok lets keep things simple and do things fast because I really want to sleep »
« I will do my best »
« Good, I will ask question and you respond, simple enough for you right ? »
« Yes sir »
« Ok so, what is your favorite fictional universe ? »
« Euhh.. Marvel Cinematic Universe … »
« Favorite character inside the MCU ? »
« Tony Stark aka Iron Man… »
« Favorite system to have ? You can include all the multiverse to respond to this one »
« I think I know where this is going but I can answer I think.., so a shop system who work with real money meaning every dollars that I gain in real life I also gain 1 shop point »
« Interesting choice you got there little one »
« thanks »
« Ok so I suppose you already guess where we are going with this right »
« Yeah I'm not the brightest but I can still guess what's gonna happen to me »
« Ok I will let you ask one final request before sending you off »
« Can I woke up inside Tony stark in 2009, 1 month before he was kidnapped »
« You can considered it done »
« Good thanks »
« Ok Goodbye and Good luck in your new world »
« Thank you very much god, Good nap to you »
I then hear a snap sound
And everything went dark
