Cause I'm standing outside. I can see everything is black & white. Everything's just Gray scaled?
"What the hell is going on, all I did was trip on the sidewalk? Why is everything black and white I just lose my vision or something. There's no people though, am I dead? How did I die? I was just walking. I didn't die from chirping. Did I that I had to just like f****** die! Hit my head or something with the hell was happening oh my god i'm freaking out!"
Ah man, It was just supposed to be a normal day. If fantastical day off and everything. Oh man at least I still have my coffee and it's warm. Just the make sure I don't explode. Or can I, or whatever would happen? I just decide to stay there really still for who knows how long. After what seems up to be about 15 minutes? I finally hear something.
As I look for The Sound.
I see down the road that a figure in a hoodie and odd briefcase. Riding on a bike trying to flag me down.
"Um hello"
" Yes hey you sorry everything's a bit wonky i've been trying to find you" As he stops in front of me. I noticed that his face was very gaunt and tired. Yeah no problem I'll take your time looks like you need a breath. Hey, man who are you? Can you tell me why no one is around? I never think it's just grayscale?
Huffing," No problem, sir. If you have a notice. You are dead and I my good man.
I'm jack your personal reaper! Unfortunately due to some problems, We're currently behind and having struggles. Having people reincarnate, or go to heaven or hell.
"Wow reincarnated, really that's cool. I'm not surprised that I have a personal. I often believe that such things would happen. Have you always been with me? Or are you just assigned to me? We're just assigned to you, sir. We're just allow overstacked. Our wheels has their own group of mortals that they have to bring to.
Either have their souls for out to heaven or hell, and if they're. I'm sure or if they really want to. They could be reincarnated. It's completely random though sometimes."
"Whoa man, that is a really shocking, but are you doing ok, dude? You look tired as well hell not literally but you you get the idea."
" Honestly I have no idea it's been crazy. Currently, due to some issues, we have to go back and do everything manually again. And so much of the new reapers are not prepared for that. It's been a drag I've been taking on so many different people's loads. To make sure we're up to preferable operations. You know, and and you're humans bibles. How God can be all wrath on self. So we're definitely not doing that again. So we're trying to keep him happy by doing stuff. That what other celestial entities can't really be dealt with.
As I look at the reaper infront of me i felt bad. So I handed my coffee geister. Knowing that this guy is definitely needs a break. As he looks down and my hand he shows me a look of sympathy. I tell him."No, problem bro, it looks like you are real G. Unfortunately, I don't think I can really do much. I'm just a mortal"
As he takes a sip of my call, I can see his body glow with energy. I think myself damn. He must have been really tired or does coffee. Have a magical effect in the afterlife who knows? Although now that I think about it. Is this limbo? It would make sense. I'm apparently im dead, and I'm not in heaven or hell. The reaper is going to help me on my way as well. Huh, I guess that's a thing. Neet I think.
"Oh man mortals don't usually die with food or even share it. They usually make a mess and continue on. Also where you get this it is splendid."
"Oh that I made it myself at a friend's place" As I say that it all hits me and I realize. That I'm really dead. No more family, my friends are gone, and I won't get that date with Liz. My emotions all hit me at once.
I feel anger, sadness, shock, and most importantly confusion. As I turn to this entity I ask how did I die?
The reaper stops his drinking of my drink and pulls out a tablet. "No problem let's see here. I need to pull your file. It is strange though usually people now how they died. Ok, so you were killed by a stray bullet from behind severing the main nerves causing instant death. I say your lucky usually mortals last a while after."
I just stand their frozen as I process everything.
"Ok, sorry to cut this short, but I do have a job to follow and more souls to push forward." Although his face is no long guant as before it still has a fearsome glow. His tired and uncomfortable look becames shape and serious. It makes me realize the being I have been having a casual moment with I a being of power and unfathomable unknown.
"Your file, says your preformed positively and are qualified for both heaven or reincarnation. However, I would like to offer you a deal." A deal?
"Yes as a high executive of deaths domain. I can personally make deals for all possible entities that perished. I see you are a fan of anime and lives in different countries stories. Also I am a fan of this coffee you have given me. Do you accept?"
It wasn't a lot of details and it felt a bit skeptical, but I was like. Why not. "Deal" The reaper smiles as a multiple roars screams from the distance, and a cold chill runs down my spine. Afraid I look at the Grim who appearance changes.
The entity begins to start turning pitched black darker than any nights. More so than the gray scale surroundings around me. It bing's, he begins to kickle laughing.
He says don't worry. I'm not the worst entity you could have made a deal with. I'm sorry i'd lie to you as you can. Tell some other of my colleagues are not quite happy. It's hard being a cosmic deity and getting new fresh soul. Species ones that are quite unique or give off a special ratings. I should say.
What? What are you talking about? What are you? What did I just agree to I thought you were a reaper
Oh, not so quiet. Unfortunately, I'm your friendly cosmic entity as old. You can hear scary to the background. Well, they're just blocked by a barrier. Think of the multiverse of souls as a collector grains of sand the flow through the water. You pick some random location some stronger. Some weaker they all have their own deals made. Some will just eat you some collect you. Some are thrown out there in different universes. As their champions you my little soul are mine i'm, graduations!
Due to this fantastic cup of coffee. I'm gonna give you a little cafe your own. Where it'll be your base of operations. You will be my champion of the multiverse. You can say is i'm gonna give you your own private issakai while, cooking A fine couple Joe. You may say it's all fine. Although some things are gonna be a little difficult. I hope you have some fun these. I know I will enjoy and don't forget i'm always watching.
"What" I feel a sucking motion as I'm thrown through stars and mist. And I wake up in my building everything seems the same. But I have a feeling that it's different.
