Life Reboot (1)
Yotoru woke up to the sound of a blazing alarm like most ambulances would have, so he thought that he was being rescued and still alive. Although it turns out, he is still subconscious despite his heart not beating anymore. He could see the nurses, doctors, the vehicles, and even his guts flowing out of his stomach.
All he could remember about why he was here was that he was run over by a truck while he was calling his boss for a meeting that morning. In that subconscious realm, Yotoru stretched his hands and yawned.
"I don't feel any pain in my stomach though. If I speak, can the doctors even hear me?" he uttered.
Yotoru looked left and right to check his surroundings. It was like he was in a black, empty theater with a giant LED screen in his front perceiving his body's surroundings.
It seemed like the doctors had reached the hospital, and they rushed to bring Yotoru's body inside. They were running like athletes, like their lives depended on him.
"Hey, doctors, slow down! It's getting dizzy in here, ya know?" He shouted.
Still, the doctors didn't respond to him even with his loudest scream. Yotoru then dropped dead on the mattress and clapped his hands. "What if I'm dead? If I'm still subconscious, then I'm not right?" "Well, you kind of are dead." a voice answered.
"But what is this place? Why am I not seeing from my body's perspective? That means that I'm fainted, I think." "No, you are dead, but your brain is still conscious for 10 minutes. You've got 6 more minutes, buddy."
"Then I... Die? Wait... Who even are you?" He shouted. "Oh, no, I'm just a soul reaper. My name's Rach Noleine. Well, I guess in your language it should be Rakku Norein." "So when my time is up... You take my soul?"
"Not, you'll be transported into the Castle of Araris, where God will determine if you go to heaven, hell, or the 0,001 possibility... Reincarnated... and even a 0,000,000,001 percent of being reincarnated into another world... Only 3 people have, buddy. You'll never get the chance."
Yotoru put his eyes back on the screen. It seems like the doctors are trying their best to keep Yotoru alive. Yotoru could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body even beyond the screen.
"There is also a chance that your heart beats again, and you get to stay alive." Yotoru's breaths were getting more and more clear, as his body began to levitate, heading towards the screen.
"Wait... Am I going to live again?" "Rach! RACH!!" Yotoru was dragged into the screen, half of him wanting to die and half wanting to live. "RACH! I DON'T WANNA DIE AS A VIRGIN BUT I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN!!!" Yotoru was neglecting the force from the screen but it pulled all of his body inside.
At that instant, Yotoru felt a surge of regret and despair for his life, remembering his greatest memories as a child, an adult, and his best moments. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a rift of souls, himself being the solo red-colored soul.
As if Yotoru could ask Rach what the red color meant. All the souls were flowing into a white portal, and Yotoru went insane. He didn't want to die yet. His wishes have never been fulfilled by god! And of all, he is the chosen one.
