The void. Yes the void, it is a place that every being with flesh, blood and breath has yet to come to terms with comprehending, it is the in between when a soul has yet to reach hell or heaven for judgment, or if there is an anomaly that refuses to just die like a certain soul shining brightly like a star in this particular pitch black void.
(Unknown POV)
"Huh…where am I, why can't I see anything" I thought calmly to myself while looking around and not seeing anything, surprisingly a little to calmly for my current situation.
I looked around again and saw absolutely nothing and thought "Ok, what thee actual fuck is going on, wasn't I about to finally start a clean life and maybe get married and have 10 children"
I sighed and looked down at my transparent, fading hands while thinking "Is this really how I'm about to go out, I haven't even gotten the chance to become a billionaire and live it up to the fullest yet"
I sighed again and looked around the dark void like place for any sort of light that could at least provide some sort of direction to end my insanity, if a soul can even go insane that is.
"I wonder if the government found out about my tax evasion" I thought while suddenly noticing a strange bright thread of light forming a path in front of me out of nowhere that leaded to the unknown.
I looked around for anything, just even a little remotely similar to the bright thread of light in front of me in this dark void like place and trust me if I had a face right now you would likely know what my expression would be, some would have mistaken me for a hentai ugly bastard since that's just how bad my expression would be.
"Should I follow this thread thing to see were it leads" I thought with a sigh while weighing the options which was very, very limited if you ask me because I'm obviously dead, why else do you think a former human like me would be in the void unless I was some sort of god or extraterrestrial being set out to destroy the mortal world.
I sighed, wishing I was indeed some sort of higher being so I could wipe out humanity and just say….oops.
I chuckled for a mom and looked back at the thread of light and just shrugged my soul like shoulders, deciding to just risk it to see where it leads too since it's not like I have a choice in the matter anyway because who wants to stay in a void with god knows what for the rest of my remaining soul life, not I.
TIMESKIP: 100 years later.
"Why isn't this thing ending, it's already been over 100 years by now with nothing to do, but reliving horrible old memories of my life as a murderer, have I finally gone mad, did my baby momma even find my safe money yet, hopefully not, hopefully she slips and dies from falling down the stairs for cheating on me" I thought while suddenly noticing a door, yes a fucking door in a place like this place of all places.
I froze in place and stared at it for a moment, not knowing what to feel at this very moment, if I can even have feelings in a soul like state that is.
"Just open the door you bastard, it's not like you have anything to lose anyway" I thought to myself while reaching for the doorknob and twisted it open.
I Immediately jumped away in a defensive boxing stance which is something I learned in my time when I was still pretty much alive as a hitman and yes I do know more fighting styles than this, I just prefer uppercutting old greasy fat fucks for fun.
I slowly made my way towards towards the half open door, only for it to suddenly swing open.
I Immediately threw a right hook, but only weirdly felt air.
"Huh, why is it cold." I said confusedly while looking down at my transparent fading hands and opened and closed them tightly.
"Because your now in my realm young daniel brown." Said a old voice from out of nowhere.
I looked up from my hands and directly at a old man who just so happened to look exactly like donald trump. If I had a mouth in my soul form it would most definitely be open in shock right now, not from him being the president but from the hair that was barely hanging onto his scalp.
"Come sit young daniel brown." Said donald while snapping his fingers which made the entire scenery of the white realm change into a sunny fantasy like place with vast lands filled with flowers and waterfalls, something the united sates could never look like with all the littering and machinery.
I followed the wannabe donald trump to a table with tea and a die rolling board on it and asked calmly while sitting in the chair and picking up the tea cup, hoping on the inside that I could taste something at least "So…why aren't you improving the economy for people like me."
"Hmm…ah, it's all your imagination young soul, you gave me this ugly form." Said donald while picking up his tea cup and calmly taking a sip of it.
I sat the tea cup back on the plate and asked calmly, completely disregarding what the old man just said "What happened to my safe money."
"When you died on your way to buy groceries from bird poop, the government confiscated all your belongings and gave up on your debt after they discovered you died." Said rob calmly while snapping his fingers again, his appearance changing that of a hunched back old man with a beard that could make even gandalf himself choke to death in rage and jealousy.
It went quiet for a moment, neither of us speaking a single word, only the sound of birds chirping, waterfalls crashing and tea clanking against a plate being heard in this very moment.
"Then what about jennifer, did the pig bitch die yet." I asked calmly while picking up my tea and taking a sip to see if I could taste anything and suprisingly I could.
Rob sat his endless cup of tea back onto the plate and said hoarsely "No, she actually spit, stomped and pissed on your grave and had her dog shit on your tombstone before she left to claim your clean money."
*BAM*
I banged my hand on the table while saying with a laugh "Hahahaha…she isn't going to find any sort of clean money and definitely not my safe money since it was confiscated like you said so let the pig bitch dream."
*CLANK*
I was startled for a moment and looked at the old man who suddenly had a serious look on on his face while saying "Now then, my name is rob and I'll give you the chance to live a new life, the type of life you will have upon your awakening will be decided by the color of the dice side and the number of the said die side you roll, the black die side represents wealth, the blue die side represents the middle class, and the red die side represents the homeless, the number of the die reflects how your financial situation will look and said number goes from 1 to 6 young soul, now pick and showcase your luck for me to see, young daniel brown."
Suddenly 1 dice appeared with each side representing a different color that had dots going from 1 to 6 on each side of the small dice which was strange, yet since I died and woke up in this void everything around me at this point is strange.
I took a couple deep breaths for a moment and grabbed the dice with my left soul like hand and shook it around and let it loose on the die board, my heart not pounding hardly in the least since I don't even have one at the moment, oh my who knew, news flash. I did fucktards.
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
[DING!]
[Congratulations you rolled a die 6 of the black side and will be apart of a wealthy family with massive wealth]
"I couldn't be more happier, what's next gramps." I said with a sigh, wishing I had a nose to pick at this moment that felt like the perfect time to dig for gold.
Rob snapped his finger, making the dice suddenly switch back to the middle of the die board, but this time it had just the black color on it and the same strange 1 to 6 dots, but this time on each side like a real dice that I remember from earth.
"This will decide how great and how trashy the world you go to will be." Said rob sourly while picking up his tea cup and taking a sip from it.
I nodded and rubbed my chin for a moment and suddenly grabbed the dice and shook it five times before letting it run loose between my estranged fingers.
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
[DING!]
[Congratulations you rolled a die one of the black side and will be apart of the trashiest 1 tier world of all worlds, alternate earth]
I read over the system like screen for a moment and thought while yawning "Well…at least I get to torment my baby momma again"
"Hey rob how many rolls do I have left because I want a beer." I asked calmly while slouching lazily in the chair as I stared at the system panel like screen that I've only seen in games, anime, and manga and manhwas.
Rob sat his tea cup back onto the plate and said while yawning and snapping his fingers again which made the dice switch back to the middle of of the die board "You have this last die roll and you will decide your appearance, perks, downsides, and background to explain your origins and this last die roll will decide how great and how trashy the family you wake up in will be."
"How fun." I said calmly and very detachedly while grabbing the dice and just threw it back onto the die board lazily, making rob shocked at my unseriousness about my new chance at life.
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
*Tak*
[DING!]
[Congratulations you rolled a 4 of the black side and will be related to 4 prominent households the first plagued by massive astronomical debt, the second by laughter and hidden secrets, the third by greed and and the fourth by drama, have fun daniel brown]
"Good, now choose your appearance, three perks, and three downsides, don't forget to write your origin backstory, if you don't it would be random when you enter the door behind you once you're finished." Said rob while pointing and taking a sip from his tea with his eyes closed, as a pen and piece of paper that had answer boxes for my perks, downsides and origin backstory appeared in from of me out of nowhere.
I stared at the paper and pen for a moment and sighed while picking up the readied pen up and and and started writing on the piece of paper while occasionally stopping to think.
TIMESKIP: A couple minutes later.
I sat the pen down and threw up the deuces while saying calmly with a tired yawn as I got up from my seat and started heading towards the door "Ight bro, wish me luck."
*Clank*
"Prayers, condolences." Said rob while sitting the tea cup down as he watched me open the door and leave onwards towards my new life.
(Rob's POV)
Rob grabbed the piece of paper and started reading over it, only to almost chock to death on the tea he was swallowing from the blank origin backstory box, the blank three downside boxes, and the blank appearance on it.
"Great, now I have a male crystalline on the loose, welp…not my problem to deal with since you would start being more serious when you realize your predicament daniel brown." Said rob tiredly while getting up from his seat and started heading a certain direction as the realm crumbled at every step he took towards it, not knowing that this was indeed his problem to deal with and it was much more bigger than he likely imagined, especially at this never ending, expanding universe of crystalline's.
…
THE END…
