The sound of waves rushing against sand and the beating heart of the sun against my skin. There was no hope in my mind... There's one tree on this island, and it's too tall for me to even climb. My name is Joshua Reeves, and I've been stranded on this island for 3 days. Before I was put here, I was living the life of a mercenary. But that all changed after I chose the wrong job to commit to...
I've seen remnants of life on this island. It is pretty big for such a small island. But that doesn't change that I'm here alone. I don't see any boats... And I believe my death is close... I haven't had any water, and I'm damn well not drinking saltwater... "Damn it all..." I fall to my knees, coughing loudly. My body couldn't even produce sweat or enough saliva to keep me going anymore.
"So... Tired..." I fell face-first into the sand, tired as all hell. Might as well get some rest... Right... And rest I did. Forever... Maybe not??
The rumbles of the ground and the sound of sands moving around me awoke me from my long slumber. The night sky refreshes me and the moon stares down at me from the depths. The stars and their constellations... I thought many beings were looking down at me. As I look down, I see a giant portal in front of me. What is going on..?
"Enter the portal Joshua."
"W-Who are you..?"
I am Pluto.
Chapter 1: You’re Pluto?
“You’re Pluto..? You kidding me?” He laughed to himself, not believing whatever this mysterious person was… “I’ve got to be hallucinating since I’m about to die..” He laughed again before lightning struck the island, sending him jolting up into the air and landing back on the ground, groaning in response.
“You laugh at the Mighty Pluto? You are an insolent human.”
“What are you even the god of..? No one knows who you are..” He questioned. He only knew the name Pluto because of the planet.
"Humans these days are so unknowledgeable... You know your little 'Grim Reaper' Fellow? I'm like his grandfather. The God of Death." Joshua stayed silent. He didn't know what to say for a second before Pluto continued to speak.
"Do you wish to live?" He asks. Joshua nods with whatever strength he has left. "Then enter the portal, and become the one to carry out my deeds, as my potential vassal. I have people you need to kill because they have escaped the grasp of death. And I need them gone." So it was another case of needing to take lives from others because it was his job.. He was used to it... As long as he could live and get revenge on the man who put him in this situation in the first place. "And, you'll be able to get your revenge on that Jackson Smith fellow. So, what do you say? Want to do a job for me?" Joshua chuckled, beginning to crawl towards the glowing blue portal. He groaned. "Of course... Why not..?"
He struggled to crawl into the portal, but finally, his skin touched the blue light and he felt a sensation of cold and hot as if he were burning his skin. He pushed through, and his sight was filled with white light. His new life started here, and he was ready for it all.
He felt nothingness inside of the portal. It was silent. He could barely breathe. The voice of a female filled his ears.
[Welcome, Player Joshua Reeves. The Gods and Constellations are thrilled about your arrival. Please, select a class structure.]
Her voice was rather robotic, and he knew at that moment this woman was most likely some type of robot or something. Before he could respond, cards appeared on his screen. 5 Of them to be exact.
