1 Conflict & Arrival

"You're dead." My words were already taken out of my mouth before I can even say them. One moment I was reading the news, the next moment, HE was there.

"W-what?" I was so utterly confused. "How can I be dead?!" His face shifted into one of disgust as he stared down at me.

"I'm at the tender age of 20, pitiful for someone with no relationship, but I was atleast healthy. How can I be dead!?"

I wanted answers. I needed them.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance and as calm as I can be, examined him. He was dressed in a bright red suit, topped off with a top-hat and annoyingly bright purple hair.

"It doesn't matter how healthy you are, you're dead."

"What?! But how!?"

He growled in anger, "I can't believe I'm actually being forced to do something like this." He took a deep breath, and spoke in a calmer tone.

"I just decided to kill you, is all." I couldn't process his words, why? Why would someone do that?

For some reason, he laughed until tears formed from the sides of his eyes. "You people never fail to amuse me, but you weren't amusing enough to continue your pitiful existence." His cold eyes really give me the shivers.

"Do you really think that, we, the higher existence need a reason to decide whether you people continue to live or die?" He laughed once again.

"But to think, that there would actually come a day where I'm forced to 'apologize' to people such as you, makes my blood boil. You know?"

No, frankly I didn't. I wasn't as confused as I portrayed myself to be, I read enough books where the plot should have already headed. But this...was something different.

He did not apologize for 'Accidentally' killing me, he will not hand me cheats as a form of bribery to forget their heinous crimes. He...is someone that lives for other people's misery.

Gulping down my built-up saliva, I finally gathered up my courage. "J-just who are you?" I shakily asked.

His face blanked for a moment before he gave me a feral grin. "My name matters not to you. But what my actions will be. The laws dictate that I must give you something. Just like those measly books that you people have created."

He smiled at the last bit there but it quickly shifted into a frown, "But the law didn't say anything about it being a good thing, which is what boggles me the most!" His face shifted into one of utter anger.

"Those pathetic fools! Casually giving out their powers to other people who did nothing to deserve it! And those ignorant fools! They seriously think their cheats don't become with a drawback! Their energy and life is slowly sucked away by the god! Like Interest in a debt!" His shouting thundered across wherever we were.

"Their actions are taking away what I obsess the most! Suffering. But no! They love to just steal! STEAL! STEAL! STEAL!." His head snapped to my direction.

"I was lying when I said I killed you for no reason. I killed you to be my pawn, my little double agent if you will!" No...no! Quickly taking a step back, I tried to distance myself away from him.

"Aww. Look at that distressed face of yours. Luckily I have the perfect thing to give to you. You always wanted power right!? Then I'll gladly grant it to you! But be warned, every power comes with even BIGGER DRAWBACKS HAHAHAHAH!"

This....this is sick. Gathering my anger, I rushed at him. It was foolish to think that I even stood a chance against him, he was the one granting me power after all, whether it was good or bad. It was still power that I was being granted.

But I didn't expect such outcome, and I smiled as my hands found it's way around his throat. But rather than his choking filling the empty air. It was his laughter.

"Your perfect! To think that a random person would lead to something like you! This no hesitation is perfect for what you're meant to do! Kill them all! Take away god's blessing! And kill those who gets in your way!"

And as he roared with laughter, I tightened my grip, hoping to finally silence this unsettling laughter. "You bastard! I won't become your little piece in this family feud you have! Go find someone else! Don't mess with my life!"

"You think you have a choice! But you don't, you will become someone I need. Whether you like it or not!"

Black spots filled my vision and finally I was filled with desperation.

"NO! Don't do this ya sick maniac!"

It was a small tug at the start but by the time I noticed it, I was already being launched away, the last thing I saw was his face, and the only time he smiled at me normally.

*GASP*

"Just what am I suppose to do now...?" I was helpless, the empty feeling in my chest, hurt. It hurts. What was I suppose to do? What 'Power' has been granted to me? To fulfill the task I was 'meant' to do.

Just what was I meant to do?
