2. Death isn’t the end
My name is Leonard Leclerc and I'm a below average guy for basically everything in life. I'm 21 years old and I just screwed my exams in university. I realised that I don't like finance. But the truth is that I don't like anything except for films, series, some sports, good food and fan fictions of series I love. I haven't live much, didn't have many girlfriends. I'm lazy and don't bother to have any special trait like being a musician or trying to create a brand. My best achievement would be to know some musics word by word, praise me mortal.
Now I'm walking down the street in Paris, wondering about what I should do with my life. But suddenly, I'm in the way of a gang of grown kids.
Well… I guess they didn't like my face considering they stucked their knives in my body multiple times.
I quit the world in a Julius Caesar way, happy not having to torture my mind about my future.
As I see the light coming closer, it changes into a dumbledore alike man.
« Hi Leonard, I'm the administrator appointed for your death. I'm gonna juge you quickly. Well, sad way to die young one… let's see your past. No, nothing special about you. Some criminals had more good deeds in their account than you. »
« Damn, I guess I'm useless even in death. Send me to hell or Tartarus, I don't really care. »
« Fret not as, in opposition to this street gang, I like your face young one. So I will bring you back to life but not in the same world, I'm afraid. »
« Okay, I'don't like this world anyway. What do I get? »
« For your world, you can choose between dark souls, fallout, little nightmares or A song of ice and fire/ game of thrones mixt. »
« Mmmh, I don't like apocalypses nor dark stuff. I watched game of thrones tho and it's my favorite fiction in every cathegory. So yeah, I choose that one please, mr.G »
« I see you chose the greater good, approved. Next, three random average gifts for an average guy. »
A wheel comes to existence and is spinned for a few minutes before stopping on accelerated healing.
« So, to be accurate with this, it's moderate, young one. It means you heal three times faster for a light injury, two times faster for a heavy one and fifty percent faster for a near death experience. You will also naturally heal from poisons and diseases. But it won't have an effect on your mind. It can't heal depression for exemple. Oh and lost limbs can't magically grow back. »
« Not that bad, thanks. »
« To the next gift shall we. »
And the wheel stops on danger sense, this time.
« It's a good one, it entails a lot of situations as: if being watched, attempt to your life, presence of poison or an assassin, an incoming projectile, deathly blows,etc. Now, for the last one. »
The wheel is spins one last time and ends on lie detector - from the webtoon named Purple Hyacinth.
« You didn't watch this webtoon, did you? Well I like you so I will explain, little friend. When a person lies in a sentence, you know it but not which information it was if there are multiple ones in a single sentence. It's passive tho, you can't turn off your lie detector. So, what do you think about your gifts?»
« Can't say I feel like Superman right now, but it's a medieval world so these will be rather handy. »
« Good, good. You can choose your body settings now and your background. A little bonus because I li- »
« Because you like me, yeah yeah I get it thanks. No homo by the way and I'm still an atheist and proud of it. Seeing you don't prove anything. »
« Sure sure, you have a mortal brain anyway. Go on then. »
« Let's see… I would like to to be born as the second son of Tywin Lannister, one year older than Tyrion. I will be 1,88 meter at my peak height. And I would like the look like Charlie Hunnam as an adult, but with more Lannister like traits. »
« Oh oh I like it, you make it spicy heh. It was a pleasure Leonard, goodbye little sh*t. » said Dumbledore calmly ( if you know this reference, you're a good one).
I feel my existence fading away and as spiderman would say, I don't feel so good.
Seconds later, I feel even worse. Damn, the feeling of the first breath is hellish. No wonder babies cry so much, I can't help it either. And so I begin to cry to my hearth's content.
A few moments later, I can hear a couple speaking but I don't understand what they say. I guess it's not so close to english in the end.
I can't see either. I didn't know but babies aren't able to see from the start. All this situation is a bit infuriating but nothing can be done about it. It's time to wait and grow like every toddler.
