(Pov- Daniel.)
"What?! What's happening?!"- I say, scared.
Why am I in a whirlwind?! Uwaaaah! I feel like my heart is about to come out of my mouth! I think I'm going to throw up!
And God seems pretty relaxed. Wow, he can stand as if nothing's happening. He really is a divine being.
"We've arrived," said God.
"Uwaaaah!"
Suddenly, we appear in a forest. I try not to throw up and calm down. That trip was pretty weird.
I still want to throw up, but throwing up in front of God would be rude of me. Plus, what would I even throw up? I have nothing in my stomach.
Will I find fruits in this forest?
"Welcome to world 1, the world of magic and adventurers."
...
...
...
Did I hear correctly? Yes, I definitely heard correctly... Magic and adventurers?! What kind of mess have I gotten myself into?!
I thought all worlds would be similar to mine, but in this world, magic exists!
"Magic?" I said confused.
"In the different existing worlds, there are always different things. In this world, there is magic, in world 3 there are psychic powers, and in your world, there is technology."
Different things... Wow... So, is there a possibility that there is a world where dogs rule? The universe turned out to be more incredible than I imagined.
I observe everything around me amazed. Am I really in another world? Great... For some reason, I don't feel depressed... This is what I needed, to feel useful... My grandmother would be proud of me for helping God.
... Well... Although I have the theory that I tried to commit suicide, someone rescued me, but the lack of oxygen in my brain caused me to go into a coma. I'm dreaming this... Or that's my theory... But...
I stroke my hands and touch the ground... Everything feels so real... I'll ignore the theory and believe that this is real.
"Incredible, I'm in another world... What should I do?"
"This world is in danger because some demons have appeared. These demons have incredible magical powers. Magic powers more powerful than that of any human in this world. And that's not the worst part. According to my calculations, in about three or four years, a demon will appear so powerful that it will destroy this world. If this world disappears, the others will too."
I suppose this world is the basis for the others to exist. If this world disappears, all will disappear, huh?
That sounds pretty bad... He is God, he can easily eliminate the demons. Why does he ask for help from a guy like me? It doesn't make logical sense.
"Why don't you stop it? You're God."
"My job is to observe and not interfere. Only in emergency cases like this, do I interfere as little as possible."
"But you're God, you can interfere if you want, right?"
"Living beings must solve their own problems. They must survive without depending on others. I only give them a little help and that's it."
Living beings? What a strange way to call living beings.
God's words are sincere, I sense it... I still have too many doubts in my mind. I'm no longer depressed, but I'm confused.
But I still wonder why I was chosen for this mission. It's probably because, as in my dream, I am the protagonist of this story. The theory that I am in a coma and dreaming this would answer that question, but I better ignore that theory and continue to believe that this is really happening.
"I understand, but... why me?"
"There are 63 existing worlds. In those worlds, I investigated people like you, pure of heart. And you were chosen. By the way, in your world, there are more people with pure hearts than in other worlds."
I was chosen... Out of the millions of people that exist, I was chosen... To be honest, that makes me very happy.
"Am I the purest?"
A too egocentric question, but I want to get the answer. Why did I end up being chosen?
"No, just when I saw your life and saw how you were getting depressed, something inside me told me that I had to give you a reason to live... Although you also have something very special inside you. Your soul is very beautiful, so you are perfect to help me."
Beautiful? I suppose that's good. I don't know what it means for my soul to be beautiful, but I suppose it refers to me being a good person. Thank you, God, it's thanks to my grandmother. She taught me to be a good and empathetic person.
"Well, well... Thank you."
"Take this."
A black fingerless glove and a pink phone appear out of nowhere in front of me.
A glove, huh? Will it be useful or is it my work uniform? I think the phone will serve me to communicate with God or something like that.
"The glove allows you to use all types of magic, and the phone will serve as a map and other functions that you will discover later on."
Wow, they turned out to be much more interesting items than I thought.
I take the glove and put it on my right hand. It's very comfortable to use, it's like I'm not wearing anything. Plus, I think I look great with it. It matches my style.
"It's comfortable."
"That's good because you won't be able to take it off."
"Huh?"
I try to take off the glove, but it won't come off... It's stuck... It doesn't bother me much, but it's weird.
Why did he make me wear this glove all the time? I won't even be able to take it off when I shower.
"Why?"
"It's dangerous for it to be stolen from you."
That makes sense. This item is too dangerous. If it falls into the wrong hands, I don't know what could happen. I don't want people to suffer because of my mistakes.
I must keep this glove a secret.
"Well, well... I see... Okay."
I take the phone... Wow, it's cute. And it's pink, like my favorite color. God knows me very well... Should I be afraid of that? No, it's God, he knows us all... Although that sounds pretty disturbing.
Leaving that aside, I always wanted a phone like this... My first smart cell phone... Great.
I've never had a TV or a phone. I always did my homework at Chris's house because he had a computer and internet.
"A phone without buttons... I've always wanted to have a modern phone... Thank you, God," I said smiling, so he would know how grateful I am to him.
"Don't worry. Well, let's continue."
God touches my chest with his right hand, and a light comes out of his hand. Divine light? Divine power? Whatever it is, it feels weird. It's like a tingling sensation.
"Now you have the power to revive. You can only revive twice."
The power to revive... I think this world is more dangerous than I imagined. I must be careful.
I won't let my guard down.
God touches my forehead with his left hand, and a light comes out of his hand.
"Now you have a great memory, perfect for learning thousands of spells."
Great, it's a big help. Although I could also write down the spells on my phone, memorizing them would be even better.
I wonder if the magic God gave me allows me to use magic easily or if I will have to train.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, see you later."
Huh? Is that it? Is there nothing else? I need more information.
"Wait... What should I do now?"
"Investigate how to use magic, defeat all the demons you can, and most importantly, defeat the demon that will destroy the world."
God disappears and I sigh... Well, my job begins... To defeat means to kill... That scares me, but I must do it... I must become a killer... It's for the good of the world. Even a pacifist like me knows that it's necessary... I will become a killer... I will do it for God.
This situation scares me a lot, but I must do it, God trusts me, and I won't disappoint Him.
He gave me an extremely complicated and almost impossible mission, but I must try to fulfill it. I won't lie saying that I will accomplish it, because I know I'm not sure I can. I'm not afraid of dying either, after all, I gave up my life when I attempted suicide.
I will give this new life to God and my mission. I don't mind dying as long as I can fulfill my mission or at least die trying.
God gave me a new purpose in life, and I will pay Him back even with my life.
"Wow, okay... I guess I should... huh?!"
Where is that sound coming from...?! Ah. Oh... I received a call, and that scared me.
It caught me off guard. I'm not used to this.
"Ah, my heart almost stopped."
I'm in an unknown world, I don't know the dangers here. I must stay alert.
I see the phone to know who is calling, and the contact is named "God."
I answer and put the phone to my right ear.
"H-hello?"
"I forgot to tell you something very important. In that world, you can be rude, enjoy your life. Being pure-hearted is good, but don't take it so seriously, have fun."
... I feel some ulterior motive behind those words.
Be rude... Yes... I understand.
"Wow, okay... All right, I suppose."
"And remember this, you're very good, but don't be too good. In your adventure, you will have to face demons, evil adventurers, monsters, and other evil beings. You must keep in mind that you will have to kill them. Don't let your goodness affect you."
Yes, I know... I will become a killer... Will I be capable of killing? I guess I'll find out soon.
I'm a pacifist, I've always avoided violence, but now it's inevitable. I won't go through life with the mentality that everything can be resolved through dialogue. If I go with that mentality, I won't last long.
I'm not naive, I won't take this lightly.
"Wow, okay. All right, I guess if you say so, I suppose I have to do it."
"Thank you."
He hangs up, and I look around nervously... All right... I guess I should go to a city or town first. Will they ask for documents to enter? I hope not. I have no money or documents. Besides, I also stink. I look like a vagabond.
Ah... I don't exactly know what to do.
"Now... Well, I suppose I should go to a town... Huh?"
I received another call, and I answer. I guess he has more information for me.
"That's the last thing I forgot. The clothes you're wearing are not normal in that world. I'll give you new clothes."
Oh, that's what I needed. My clothes stink.
My clothes disappear, and they're replaced with new and elegant clothes. Now I'm wearing a black suit with a green tie... Is it really normal? I don't think so.
"Is this clothing normal here? I look like a businessman."
"It's normal for nobles and royalty, they're the ones who best control magic. Try to get in touch with them and learn all the spells you can. Goodbye."
I hang up and look at my new clothes... Is it really normal for nobles? At least they smell good.
Nobles and royalty... A monarchy... Ah, that means I could encounter corrupt people. I must be mentally prepared to see anything, like slaves, prostitutes, deaths, blood... This world is wild, and I must be prepared for it not to affect me.
"I feel uncomfortable in these clothes..."
I look at my phone with a serious expression, erasing any trace of discomfort and doubt.
I must take my job seriously... This is not a game... I will not disappoint God.
"Alright, the phone will serve as my map."
I search for the map app and open it. The places have names, which makes it easier for me to locate them. I'm in a small forest, in the middle of nowhere. What prevails in this country are green places, like valleys and forests. A green country, huh? Ecologists' paradise.
"Mmm... I'm in... the forest of death...? What a name."
I hope it doesn't live up to its name. I'm defenseless at the moment.
I take a closer look at the map... After searching for a few seconds, I found a town near this place. It's quite big, almost a city. Almost, because it's not quite enough. It's a town.
"Central Town 1. It's close by. I'll go to the town and investigate the place."
First step: investigation.
Knowing the place and my enemies is paramount before acting.
"Let's go."
I start walking. My new life has just begun.
I'll say goodbye to my old life. Goodbye, Cris. Goodbye, Diana. Goodbye, Robert... Mmm... No, I won't miss Sonia.
I don't know what the future holds, but I'm very optimistic about it.
