The Golden Touch of Death

So you thought to play hero.

*ding!**woosh*

" Hey, Trey you came by for some snacks again."

" Yeah, if I don't eat something I will probably drop dead." I go around and grab a few things I usually buy from the store and Mary keeps making conversation.

" So how was your first semester at college?"

" I somehow survived with my sanity intact. Those finals were murder. I'm just happy I have a little break before the next one starts up." I finish grabbing some stuff and head back to the front.

" You know Alyssa is having a birthday party this weekend, you thinking of going? I heard a few of our old classmates will be there."

" Nah, I don't really know Alyssa that well and besides I don't really like parties." Honestly being around so many people make me nervous friendly or not." How much do I owe you?"

" Don't worry about it, it's just nice seeing someone I know after a while."

" Thanks, Mary, take care." As I was leaving a man walks up to the counter.

*Click**click*

" You open the register! Now!"He pulls out a gun and points it at Mary. I cling to the wall outside the store just out of sight.

Holy sh*t! Oh man, oh man the f*ck! I peek inside.

Mary is very hesitantly opening the register as he stares her down.

" Hurry up B*TCH!"

I know how that old bastard is gunman or not if she opens that register she's fired and she needs this job. Sh*t!

She opens the register and began handing him the money. Maybe I should try to help her, we did use to hang out sometimes when we were in middle school and freshman year.

I hunch down and crawl to the door to get a look. She is must be almost done clearing the register by now so I should act quickly.

I get in a racer starting position and charged.

" Huh? Ugh!" I ram into him the instant he turned around and hold him down by putting my knee in his stomach and pushing his arms.

" Mary run! Go call the cops while I hold him." I said that but really if it wasn't for my larger size he wouldn't have a problem pushing me.

" Motherf*ker get your ass off me!" He turned and struggled but I was determined to keep him pinned as she ran around and kicked his fallen gun even further away.

As she left he began trying harder to break free still. While I did this someone else entered the store.

" The hell!" Someone yelled behind me and as I turn I see it. The barrel of a gun pointed right at me. I try to run before he shoots.

*Bang**Bang**Bang*

Though two of them missed he got my shoulder. F*CK, this hurts! I grab the gun from earlier and head to the cooler in the rear of the store.

As he gets his friend off the floor*Bang* I shoot the gun hoping to scare them off.

SH*T! F*CK this man I'm gone!" They began to leave and my vision becomes a little blurry.

Huh, I feel a little cold. I only got shot in the shoulder right so why? Maybe blood loss? I look down and see There is a hole in my side and I'm just noticing the blood. So this is the end huh. Never finished writing that book, or watching that new season of that anime, Hell I never even got a girlfriend!

" Hmm, You wanted to play hero even though you could have escaped. I didn't think you had it in you."

" What?!" The pain is gone the feeling is gone and I'm hearing some voice. I feel my self drifting away and then I'm standing in someplace that's all black.

" Well, then Mr. Hero how about I give you another shot at life. There will be an assault of darkness in another world. I will give you the power you need to stop it if you accept and bring the attitude you had today." Another chance at life, this is unreal! I get to be an isekai protagonist!

" I accept, thank you I will make sure that I will praise you for every accomplishment of my awesome skill."

" Hold onto that thought because you won't hear from me again for a while. Now get ready the first few years are the hardest to deal with after reincarnation." I just realized I have to be a baby for three years. Well, I'm sure the time will fly bye.

I close my eyes and the first thing I feel is someone slapping my ass.

" What?! Who did that?! Huh? Why am I crying?" I realized that I've just been born and gave out my birthing cries.

" You have a wonderful baby boy."I'm swaddled in a pretty soft blanket and handed to my mother.

" Look dear he has your eyes." She says as I look at her beautiful golden hair and shiny blue eyes.

" Yes, but he has your nose." My father comes into view. He is large with black scruffy hair and green eyes. He's wearing some important looking clothing. Maybe I'll be wealthy in this life.

" Can we come in now."

" Yes, sweetie, you guys come see your little brother."

Two kids come in my older sister and brother presumably. My sister runs in and Immediately asks to hold me.

" Mom, can I hold him please!"

" Be really careful and hold him like this he was just born so be careful."

" Hey there, we are gonna have so much fun playing dress-up!" She whispers to me excitedly.

" Don't worry I'll save you, brothers look out for each other." Thank you! We've only been together for less than a minute but I like you.

She stares him down for a minute then continue.

" So what have you chosen as his name?"

" We were waiting for Michael, after all it's a family tradition the oldest boy names the youngest." My father said with a hearty laugh.

" Hmm." He thinks it over a minute then answers." Ethan after great-grandpa."

" Good choice, he was a very respected mage. I'm sure he'll be talented." I haven't been alive long but this already seems perfect.
