Disclaimer: F...
My name is Gabriel, I'm simply a teenager who loves learning history and weapons. I have a delightful family, good friends, and a regular life. Well, that was four years ago. My regular life was first broken when I found a secret that my parents have hidden from me from my entire life. My father cheated on my mother before their wedding and had a son who is my half-brother. I got angry at my father and cried in my room for weeks, but things got a little better once the tension got cold.
After that, I thought my life was smooth sailing since that incident, but I was wrong. I confessed my feelings to my best friend and well... she rejected me. My feelings were mixed with all kinds of emotions like resentment, shame, and sadness. After that day we had a lot of fights with each other but in the end, we resolved everything together and we're still friends.
Things didn't get much better from there, there was a new student in my friend's class and she became friends with my best friends and things started to change, my friends are spending more time with her than with me, I would wait for my friends to come out of their classroom so we could hang out during recess and lunch and they would wait for me too, but now, when I waited for them to come out they would just walk past by me and not even noticing me. All because of that new student, I'm losing my friends.
Today, I'm walking home alone again from school since my best friends are with that new student. My life was falling apart and I couldn't handle it anymore. Earlier today, I got into a fight with my best friends because I said what I felt about them for leaving me behind, but they just shunned me out and I kept trying to talk to them until the talking became physical.
Now, I just wanna cry when I get home, I don't even want to talk to my parents. Just crying endlessly on my bed.
While I was walking, I noticed my best friends were near the street, they were happy and laughing with the new student, they were drinking milk tea together. My emotions were just kept getting worse whenever I saw them.
I was about to go to another street until I saw them walking on the crossroads and there was a speeding car to their left and they weren't noticing it. The worst thing than having your friends hate you are having dead friends.
So, I rushed to the crossroads and pushed my friends out of the way before the speeding car could hit them, but after I pushed out of the way, I was the one who got hit instead.
After I got hit, my mind was getting blurry and there was a lot of blood coming out of me. I could see my field of vision getting smaller until there was nothing but darkness surrounding me.
Void of Darkness
I woke up to see the darkness surrounding me.
'So I guess this is what happens to you after you die' I thought 'I guess those scientists were right, I'm going to spend the afterlife in Eternal Oblivion.'
"They're wrong actually." A feminine voice said.
I looked around the void of darkness and saw nobody was there.
'I could've sworn I heard a girl's voice, but I guess I'm just imagining things.' I thought.
"You're also wrong." the voice then spoke again.
Then out of nowhere, a bright light appeared in front of me, I took some steps backward and covered my eyes because of the light. After the light faded a bit, I looked and I was shocked to see a girl standing in front of me.

She happened very to be very beautiful, her white hair glistening, her cute face, and her eyes feel like she's piercing into my very soul.
"Do not be afraid." She said in a calming voice.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Amira, the goddess of the afterlife." She stated. "And you are in my Domain."
"So why am I here and not in heaven?" I said.
"Well, you haven't made your choice yet." She said
"Choice?" I said confused what she meant.
"Yes, your choice. You have 4 choices the first one is to go to heaven, the second one is to return to resurrect you and live another life back on Earth, the third one is to go back in time before your death, and the last one is you can live in another world full of fantasy and magic." She said.
"May I have time to think about it?" I said.
"Yes, you may."
I started to think about my choices. Going back to Earth and living in another life sounds good but I don't know what kind of life I'll expect, time-traveling before my death could go very well for me but I don't know if I want to see my friends get run over, on the other hand going to a fantasy world full of magic sounds pretty neat so it's my best choice that I have.
"Amira, I have made my decision."
"And that is?"
"To live in a fantasy world." I said.
"Very well, then what power do you want?" She said.
"Wait, what power?" I ask confused about what she said.
"Well, you can't go to another world unprepared where everything can kill you right."
"If you'll excuse me for a second." I said as I started to think in my thoughts.
'Hmm... So what power should I get.' I said in my thoughts. 'I know exactly the one to help me survive this world.'
I turned around to Amira. "Amira, I would like to have the power to create a modern nation." I said.
Amira smiled. "The power you want is now granted to you." she said. "Now step into the circle for me please."
I did what she asked and stepped into the circle. "So, this how I'm going to get there?"
"Correct, now good luck to you." As she said that a white light surrounded me and that mark the beginning of my journey to create a modern nation in a fantasy world.
