What's Wrong with Only Having a Shield? My Summoner Hates Me

Chapter 1.2

"Awake young one" a feminine voice boomed.

I was shocked to find out that I was able to open my eyes as blinding lights filled my vision.

Once my eyes adjusted to the sudden burst of white light, I realized I was facing a giant beautiful woman and a slightly taller handsome man. Both of them wore white togas and sat across me in gigantic, glistening golden thrones.

I wasn't one for religion, I did believe there was something out there, just unsure of what it could be. However, with just one look at them and a slight understanding of my situation, it was pretty clear that they were gods.

For some reason, I decided to look down and realized I was floating on air...

My body wasn't ready for the sudden fright as I shouted and rag-dolled onto the floor.

Huh? What's this?

While on the floor, I realized that my body was in perfect condition with no blood, broken bones, or even a single scratch. I steadily got on all fours and looked up to see the pair of gods staring at me with pursed lips... I swear they were almost laughing. I shakily got up and pointed at them.

"I am currently standing on air, your thrones are on air, I-" I started.

My brain was suddenly started to overflow with the memories of Lisa and the crash.

"Lisa! Is she okay?" I asked the two obviously divine beings in front of me.

The handsome god stares at me for a while. He then snapped his fingers and the area around us warped into a white room. The floor below me solidified into white marble and I felt much more stable. I started breathing normally and tried my best to relax.

"You're awfully calm about this." The god boomed.

He couldn't be further from the truth. I was panicking on the inside, I still had to come to terms with the fact that they are gods, and I just died. Also, I was standing on air just a while ago, what the hell was up with that?

Wait, is there a hell?

"Ahem, if I may," The goddess clears her throat, "You died protecting someone you loved, and to us gods, we see that as fit for the status of a hero."

Status of a hero huh?

Although I was being praised by the goddess, I still felt very unsure of the entire situation. I still felt like I was missing an answer.

"Uhm, well, I really only have one question:" I take a deep breath, "What happened?"

The goddess looks at me with concern.

Finally, she opened her mouth to talk, but the god suddenly raised a hand to wave her off. The god stood up from his golden throne and walked over to me with ground-shaking footsteps.

One more step from him, and I go splat!

"The truck's brake wires were cut in an attempt to murder the driver, however, all they did was murder an innocent teen who was just running late," the god explained with a solemn tone, "You died of an unfair death, and for that, we've decided to give you an opportunity."

Oh, shoot.

Even though I had just died, excitement slowly crawled over my entire body. I've read enough light novels and heard my roommate scream "Starburst Stream!!" enough times to figure out where this conversation was going. My childhood otaku dream was about to come true!

Except, unlike most Isekai protagonists, I was actually enjoying my life on Earth, the gods sure are cruel.

Well, they're right in front of me.
