Absolute Ability

WARNING!!!!!...

"I'm dead , right? Am I on my way to the infamous underworld or to the anticipated heaven?" Ryan King was very anxious with anticipation. He could not wait to see what he was going to meet next after he died.

He opened his eyes and found himself sinking in a dark ocean which was totally black like ink with an aura of death hovering in the deep waters.

He struggled to peek at what was in front of him, but even when he opened his eyes to the maximum extend, his eyes didn't saw anything, only darkness covered them.

His intuition was telling him that he was not alone in this endless ocean, he could fill it, pain, despare and the struggle of perseverance of souls in this vast sea.

"Where is this sinister atmosphere? Where am I, it can't be that I was taken to the underworld and now the demons want to torture me and feed on my soul in this ocean right?" Ryan was wondering if he was already in the so called hell that their bishop kept preaching to them or was he on his way there?

He was even having an ominous sensation that he was being watched by countless evil eyes with evil intentions as he descended down in the sea to nowhere.

The ocean itself was like a sentient being with many eyes watching him from everywhere which made him feel very uncomfortable.

He could feel many hands caressing every part of his nude body in a lustful way that made him fill a chill running down his spine and a good sensation of pleasure at the same time as if he was in a massage parlor.

On the contrary, he just wanted those invisible hands to continue caressing him forever.

To him, it was like having a harem of the women of his life caressing all over his body with their soft hands in a way that turned him on.

"This...feels...feels so good," he can't help but mutter in a soft voice.

Ryan remembered clearly, in his past life before his death, he was a captain in the British army. He had experienced both good and bad times in the army together with his comrades, especially on one of their missions in Afghanistan where he almost died to a suicide bomber if not for his fellow comrade saving them by sacrificing his life.

He remembered about his family, adventure, war, fun moments with his comrades especially on their minute leave and the struggle in life. To him, life on Earth had never been on his favor except his luck in escaping deaths, everything else was always against him. If he wished for things to go north, they go south, it was like life was playing him like a fiddle.

He had always wanted to strangle himself to death but he found it scary than the life he was living in. It was not the act of strangling himself that scared him but what will come after death. Just thinking of those nightmares... That was the reason why he joined the army, to die, because he could not do the act himself, he wanted to be helped.

He had seen many of his comrades die benevolently in front of his eyes while serving the nation. The dead soldiers were brave and Saviors of mankind on his eyes and he used to light incense on their graves as a celebration of their remembrance.

He adventured mostly in the Middle East and Africa for several peace keeping missions and had many memories of those places. His comrades and him saw a lot of cultural practices that even they wished to be part of, because of the thrill...

His parents lived in Ramsgate but he himself spent most of his life in London where he met the second woman of his life Sandy, who cheated on him countless times. He himself knew the nature of his work didn't allow him to be with her all the time that was why he broke up with her after their three years of marriage. From that incident, his lust for women deprived slightly. He stopped trusting women too much.

One day, just like any other of his free days, he was

driving his land cruiser to the suburbs of London for another date with his third woman whom he started dating after breaking up with his second woman, Sandy. Suddenly, a drunk driver rammed head on, on his car at a roundabout on high speed. After that incident, he didn't remember anything else, that was his very last moment on Earth...

****

Ryan saw a very bright white light at the seabed that was keeping darkness at bay. He squinted at the strange sight before him thinking that, that was now the real underworld.

 "What a fuck!"

He was suddenly hit by an intense throbbing headache that felt like his brain was being fried alive.

"Ding"

"New talent found..."

"System analyzing..."

" 10 percent complete..."

Ryan passed out...

He was jolted awake from high piercing sounds in the background. He shook his head as he could still vaguely remember when he heard the binding sound of something?? system before he fainted...

"Where am I? If I remember correctly, I was in that dark ocean earlier, how can I be in a different place in the next moment?" He asked himself with a disoriented expression as he glanced around the place where he was.
