Chapter 1 - Chapter 1(The Forgotten GODs)

Have you ever thought of dying?

Hmm, Yes? But why?

Hmm, and no as well?

Well, if your answer is No then that's good. Don't you ever think of dying Cause life is precious. You might have family, friends, and lovers who care about you, who might be waiting for you to come home safe and sound, who might be looking forward to the trip that you made with them, and who might be waiting for your calls and messages, So before you think about dying, think about them first.

But if your answer is yes, why do you want that? Is there any problem in your life that you can't handle? Even if there is a big problem, dying is not the solution. You have to face every problem head-on..I know it might be hard for you but you still have to try it and face it. Things will work out slowly but surely.

Ohh!! Why am I lecturing you on this matter? Well, cause I'm dying right now!!

Hmm, you want to know who I am?

Ohh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself, sorry about that..Haha. Then let's start from the start then.

I am Kai Williams, and I'm 27. I'm also known as a contracted assassin. Yeah, you read it right, I'm an assassin.

I was raised in an orphanage. Well, I heard my family left me there. I was abandoned by my family when I was just 2,3 months old... that's what my teacher said, tho. So I still don't know why my family left me, nor their names or whereabouts. I did try to search for them when I was old enough, but no luck... And you might think where did I got my last name well I give it myself...anyway, let's stay on the topic. The orphan in which I was raised is not a simple orphan, as you might know.

My orphanage was run by one of the biggest criminal groups in my country. They raised us like weapons. We were just a tool to them. They trained us like dogs without giving us a rest. Day to night, they just trained us. The kids in the orphanage all started their training when they were about 5 years old, so did I.

After 10 years of hellish training, I was selected as the leader of my squad known as Hounds. There are a total of 7 people in my squad, including me. They were my friends, family, and..sob ..sob...and lover. Damn, look at my pathetic state, I'm crying .... sorry about that.

Well, when we turned 15, we all had to do our first mission. Our first mission as Hounds was to assassinate a big Shot from another country...and we did succeed without any casualties. After doing all the dirty work for them all this year. They were about to get rid of us.

Before they do that, we, the hounds, together take them down by killing every single one of them...we didn't even take pity on children, also, we even killed our friends from other squads... cause every single one of them was after me and my squad cause we are the strongest assassins.

Yeah, I know we are ruthless, but what can we do when they were the ones who started all this? We are also living beings ...we also want to have peace and happiness in our lives.. we also have our own dreams.

But now we can't achieve those dreams... Cause everyone in my squad is dead. And I'm also about to die... Cause there a five bullets in my body and poison is running through my veins...I don't think I will make it this time ..

Well, Marcus, Mia, Luke, Bryan, Ian, Aaron, and you, Sienna, I will be joining you guys soon enough.

And by the way, the one who is reading this small diary of mine, please burn it after you are done reading.

And remember, don't die in vain, you have your beautiful life ahead of you, so live it to your fullest. Go out there and travel around the world...the world has lots of beautiful things to offer... don't miss it like us. Well, in the first place, we didn't have a luxurious life like yours, so even your life looks like hell to you... It's just a temporary thing; things will work out soon enough. Just don't give up, believe in yourself, and face every problem without hiding behind curtains.

Well looks like my time has also come, with that I will bid my farewell here. Live a long life, whoever is reading this, and have lots of fun...So long.

*Blurgh* When I finished writing I vomited a mouthful of blood.

And slowly I close my eyes while leaning on the wall.

******

"What a pitiful life you had lived!!"

"Huh? Who is talking? Fuck at least let me die peacefully."

"Hoho, you're using those vulgar words against us!!"

"I said shut it for the fuck sake!!"

"Hmm, by the way, why am I hearing someone talking, didn't I die?" After hearing someone's majestic voice, I tried to open my eyes slowly.

"What the!? Where Am I ?" I opened my eyes, rubbing my temples, cause I was feeling like deja Vu..

"Oh, you finally woke up.." I turned my head to look who was talking and I saw five five-figure standing next to me looking down at me.

"Huh? Who are you?" I was alerted when I saw them and was in fighting position.

And slowly put my hand back to grab my dagger, but to my surprise, I didn't have one.

"Don't be like that we are not gonna harm you". Even though they tried to console me, I was still alarmed.

"Look around you!!" One of them spoke again, and when I looked at my surroundings, I was awed.

Cause the place I'm in right now there is nothing... It's like empty. Everywhere I look it's just nothingness.

"Where am I?" I questioned the five-figure in front of me.

"You are between the holy land and the netherworld"

"What do you mean by that?" I questioned again cause I can't grab what they are saying.

"It means you're in nothingness, there is no life or death here." This time, a female voice came from one of the five figures. Cause of the white Vail they are wearing I can't see their faces.

"But why am I here?"

"Well, you might know that you're dead right?"

"And we also know all about you, what kind of person you are, what kind of life you had lived when you were alive."

"So what?"

"So, thinking hard, we came to an agreement and brought you here."

"For what reason?" I don't know what they are talking about.

"The reason is we, the forgotten Gods, want to give you a chance!!"

"Chance?? Wait did you just say gods??"

"Yeah, we are the Gods!!"

"So am I in Valhalla??"

"Foolish human, didn't she just tell you're in nothingness..!"

"Even tho you are a warrior, well, some kind of..but you can't go to the Valhalla!!"

"Hmm, why not?"

"Cause there is a rule that most be followed no matter what...." This child-like figure talked.

"And just for you, we broke some rules and brought you here!!"

"Why did you bring me here "

"As we told you before we want to give you a chance to live"

"What??"

"Well, even if we hadn't brought you here, you might have gotten this chance after the judge of the Gates judge you!!"

"But at the same time, you might not get that chance, looking at the life you had lived."

"Didn't you have a dream that you wanted so badly when you were alive?"

"Yeah, the dream that I want". I always wanted that dream to come true with my squad and with her...but my dream just stayed like a dream.

"So we'll give you that chance to fulfill your dream."

"But why are you giving me this chance? There might be something that you want from me as well..!!"

"Yeah, there is something that we need you to do for us"

"I thought so, there is nothing free anywhere, even if you are alive or dead!!"

"Like we said before we are the forgotten Gods"

"What's that mean tho?"

"It means there are no followers who worship us!! And it's been like this for thousands of years"

"We only have a few years left, in this time; if we don't have one single follower, then we will disappear, and our existence will be completely erased from history."

'So we want you to be our follower, if only you worship us, then we might get a few more years to maintain our existence."

"Hmm, but why me? There might be some other people who can do that!!"

"Yeah, you're not wrong about that" the female god spoke again in a low voice.

"But they all forgot about us, we gave them everything they wished for...and still they forgot about their purpose."

"And now this is our last chance, if this time we don't have any followers, then we'll be permanently erased."

"But how can you trust me?? We have just met "

"We don't trust you completely...it's just we don't have time"..This time, the god who had been silent until now spoke.

"But there is also a reason for us to have faith in you.. cause you are the first human that we have eyes on for so long."

"Don't take it the wrong way we don't have any hands in your death... It's just that your time has come!!"

"So what's gonna be your choice will you take our offer or will you go to the judgment hall?"

"Before you answer the question, there is something I would like you to add...that is, you won't gonna go to the place that you came from...it will gonna me a different world."

"What's that mean??"

"It's a world where magic exists!!"

"What!?"

"You mean like a fantasy world?"

"Yeah, that's what you humans prefer to say!!"

"Then am I gonna be reincarnated to that place?"

"Umm, hmm!!"

After giving some thoughts, I don't think this is a bad deal... cause they just want one thing from me, and that is to worship them..

"Well I decided then... I will take your proposal"

"Good decision..!!"

"But remember one last thing before we proceed further...if you also forgot about us like others did then you will die like others"

"I haven't even been born and they're all already threatening me..!!" I thought to myself.

"And don't worry, we won't send you empty-handed.!!"

"Hmm??"

"We will give you our blessings!! And something that you humans prefer to say system. With that, you can overcome any difficulties in your path."

"Ohh how generous!! I will gladly accept it...!!" I know what system is cause I had read some webtoons when I got some free time. When I was alive...

When I said I would accept that, the five forgotten GODs surrounded me in a circle and put their hands on my chest and back...and suddenly a gust of wind covered my whole body from top to bottom. When everything settled down, the god spoke again..

"With that, everything is done!!" And with small guester of hand from the god a door appeared infront of me.

"This is the door of the birth. When you enter, you will lose your consciousness and you will be reborn as a child when you open your eyes."

"Ohh alright!!" After saying that, I entered the door in front of me and, for the last time, I looked back at the gods.

"Ahh, we almost forgot to say this, you might#####!!"

"What!?" I was shocked when I heard God's last words.

And I was sucked inside the door and slowly lost my consciousness..!!
