Chapter 2 (Existence And Life)

[Welcome back hero, welcome to the world where you never existed]

Koji stared at the message that appeared before him in confusion.

"Welcome back it says, then it must be from someone who knew I died. But who, who has this type of power? It wasn't possible to put this sort of display before." Koji thought.

"Someone who knows the past."

"Someone with in thinkable abilities."

Koji thought deeply and came to one and only conclusion that was…the dragon

"The dragon, only it knows how I died, and it is the only one who calls me a hero."

The answer was clear, but there was one thing that was still troubling him.

"Even if it is that dragon, no way it could be this peaceful if it was alive. And even if it's alive, none other than the gods have the authority to send messages like it."

Koji tapped on the message, and it disappeared like in some sort of game and reappeared with different words.

[ You may be confused by this state but keep firm, I'll explain it to you]

"Foremost, STOP THIS BOX THING IT'S ANNOYING AS HELL." Koji shouted like he knew the dragon would listen.

[Ah, so disrespectful, so how can I talk with you if not like this?]

"Figure that out yourself, actually don't you have telepathy? Just use it instead."

[Oh yes, that would work]

"𝑾𝑰𝑳𝑳 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑫𝑶?"

"AH SO LOUD!" Koji responded in an irritated voice.

"𝑯𝒂𝒉𝒂, 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕. 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈." It said.

"Please do, I'm totally lost here."

"𝑳𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑨𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒅, 𝑰 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝑰 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍."

"Huh, reincarnated? You? Wait wait wait time out. Just what in the heavens are you? How can you do that all? Are you some God?"

"𝑨𝒓𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒎 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕?"

"Don't dodge the question. Who are you?"

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒂 𝑮𝒐𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, 𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅. 𝑴𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎. 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅."

"If you are a lesser God, why'd you attack? Why'd you take the form of a dragon and created a slaughterhouse? Shouldn't you be protecting them?"

"𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩" the lesser God said with a tense angered voice.

"𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔. You killed them all because they were corrupt?"

"So you're not going to kill me too?"

"𝑰 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆. 𝑰𝒏 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅."

"Your sword huh, a sword of a lesser God. You are going to turn me into a sword?"

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅. 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏."

"Well in that case, I'll submit to you but just answer my this last question and a request."

"𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎"

"My question is, how exactly did you take your leave? There's no way you were defeated right?"

"𝑶𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕, 𝑰 𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆. 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔."

"That's a relief. It covers the story quite good. Thanks for not killing him too."

"𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕?"

"My request is that, I want to see you. Could you give a face to face introduction?"

"𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕? 𝒀- 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖? 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒖𝒎…𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓. 𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅."

"Disappointed by what?"

The voice was gone, and a light appeared before Koji, it got brighter and brighter.

Then a small fairy looking creature started to appear slowly.

"A fairy? No, a spirit." Koji said as he stared it anxiously.

"How is it gonna look?" he thought.

The light started to disappear and a small famine looking fairy appeared.

It was tiny, royal in appearance and emitted a whole bunch of energy.

Koji looked at that tiny figure with confusion and a little disappointment.

"Here I am, name is Isis. A lesser God who you're soon going to be the sword of. And….don't look that disappointed it's making me feel unconfident." She pouted.

"Damn she's a total tsundere type." Koji thought.

"I can read your mind by the way."

"Oh, I'll apologize. So Isis-san"

"Isis – Sama you mean?" she said as she glared.

"Isis-sama, accordingly to as I said, I hereby swear on becoming your sword. Please train me well." Koji said as he bowed.

"Yeah don't worry about that, I've got a whole dimension for you to train." She said as she snapped her fingers.

The moment she snapped, everything around Koji changed, it was like he was travelling through a space course and just in a moment of time, they were in a whole different place.

"This whole place is for you. I am gonna totally overpower you. No one is going to disturb us either." She said superciliously.

"That's great! Let's start this training!" he responded joyfully.

"But before that, take this sword."

She spawned a mythical weapon with amazing power from her palm. It looked like it was infused with sorcery.

"That weapon looks like a great deal." Koji said with shock

"Oh you can see it's power? It's a God killing weapon. A weapon you can't find on Earth." She said proudly.

"With your expressions, it looks like you made it."

"Surely I did. If you achieve great things, I may give you some good toys." She smirked.

"But first, here, take this sword."

As he reached for the sword, he noticed a weird smile on the goddess's face.

When he held the sword, it dropped. Its weight increased and Koji couldn't pull it up.

"What's with this damn sword." He yells irritatedly.

"Oh well, I suppose you're not worthy enough to wield this sword. You may just call for me whenever you want if you desire to try your luck."

"Right.."

"So shall we begin the training?" Isis asked politely.

"She's acting polite, something's suspicion.* Koji thought.

"So what is the training going to be like?" he asked.

"For beginners you're going to fight that." Isis pointed at a giant door that started to dramatically opened.

A giant figure got out of the door which scared the hell out of Koji

"WAIT WAIT WAIT ARE YOU PLANNING ON KILLING ME RIGHT AWAY? THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA FIGHT THAT THING!" he shouted.

"It's just an orge. Oh, and you'll fight it using this. And don't worry, I gave you some strength Puffs and some additional skills. Oh, and don't care about death, this place defies time and space, so you can take all time. Good luck."

Isis disappeared after she said that.

"How is this a normal Orge. It's a King Orge of rank A in my world. And all she gave me to beat it is a hand knife."

Koji sighed.

"Well here goes nothing." He said as he ran towards the Orge.

*Two Days Later*

" I've finally killed this bastard." Koji said while breathing hard.

*Clap*

*Clap*

"You actually did it. That's amazing." Isis appreciated as she appeared out of the blue.

"I did it? I died like trice while fighting it, and it took me Forty Eight hours straight to bring that big guy down." Koji complained

"Yeah, you're at least B rank in your world right now. But with my puffs you're better than any B ranker. This is the advantage of training here. You get talented faster."

"Oh I just remembered." Koji said

"What?"

"When I was reincarnated, no one could see me nor feel me. Can you tell why?"

"Oh that's simple. You are alive, but your existence is yet to be confirmed."

"Existence is yet to be confirmed? What is that supposed to mean….." he nervously asked.

"Right now, you're dead for everyone. Until someone confirms your existence, no one will notice you. You're alone till someone sees you or feels you."

"How am I supposed to achieve that when no one can see me?"

"That's up to you. Use your mental strength or get tangled on the threads of hope. It's all your choice on how you do it. Of course there's a way of doing it by making a difference in the world by killing someone important. Well rest is your decision."

"My decision huh. I decide to choose the path that is correct."
