1 Death of a Good Man

Early morning on a normal sunny day. The sun is giving warmth to plants and other organisms as it usually does.

The people are doing their things, taking trivial things for granted, forgetting to be thankful for what they are receiving

Inside a dilapidated church, a young man is wearing ragged shirts that have its color already faring praying silently and earnestly.

This young man's name is John, he is a good and caring man. Although his life is full of misfortune, he still helps others when he thinks they need his help, but life is always unfair. Even if he helps them, the other people still look at him in disdain because he is poor.

Luckily, the world and the humans living here are still not all corrupted by material things. Some still know how to be thankful and give help to John when they can.

Even though his life is like this, he still did not lose hope and always think positively, and that is because he thinks God is always looking at all humans on earth and will always help them when they need it.

In his mind, he always thought, 'Maybe God thinks I can still persevere through these difficulties. I should keep working hard!' and it became the thing that helped him support himself whenever he was at his lowest point.

John's prayer always end with words like, 'God thank you for always waking me up every morning, and because of that I can help many more people'

After he finishes his prayers, he goes to the exit to go home.

================================

After John left the church, he walked around and was planning to return to his home.

It was then that he saw an accident was about to happen.

While walking he saw a little girl in the pedestrian lane was about to be run by a truck

He thought, 'Those people that always say I am going to die helping others might be right. Sigh, but I can't just let that girl be run over by a truck, right?'

He burst at speed and ran to the girl. He pushed her away with all his might that caused the little girl to fall on her butt safe from the truck's path.

Seconds before he was run over by the truck, John looked at the girl as if he was safe. He saw that her eyes are full of tears and snot is falling out of her nose.

He finds her look funny and smiles for a second and mutters to her, "Live" though he doesn't know if she understands or even saw it because the truck slammed into him at that time.

He did not know what happened after he felt the pain in his body. As if his mind cut off his connection to the pain that he was supposed to feel.

And then... It all turned black.

___________________________

When he opened his eyes all he can see is a vast space that is full of darkness everywhere

'Ugh... What happened'

Slowly he remembers that he was run over by a truck by saving a little girl

'Am I still alive?' he thought and he tries to move but he can't because he can't feel his body

'Sigh... So I think I'm dead, huh, and this is where I end, I know that someday I'm going to be killed by saving others but not this soon, sigh.., Forget it, I'm happy to save that child even if that means my death, I can be proud of myself because I save a life!"

"Hahahaha"

Then he heard the voice of someone laughing in the space but there is no one in there

"Uhmm... Is anyone in here?"

He asks not sure if there is going to be a reply, 'cause he's not sure there is someone in there

"Child, I am the GOD of the world where you lived"

Shocked, he asked "REALLY!?"

"Yes, it is real and like what you always think I'm always watching everyone especially you"

"WHAT ME!??"

"Yes, You"

"Why are you always watching me"

"That is because you're still kind even if the star of misfortune just directly above your head and always following you"

"Star of misfortune? , Is that the reason my life is full of bad luck?"

"Yes, It is, *cough*, let's change the topic to why you are here"

"Oh, Okay, Then why am I here and what is this place?"

"You are here to process to reincarnate and this place is where the process happens"

"What process?"

"Nothing, just giving you some power's, and asking if what you want is reincarnation to other world or to transmigrate, so what do you want"

"Reincarnation to another world? why not just let me reincarnate in Earth again"

"That is not possible because you have already died in that world and you can't be born in the same world twice, well there are those with special circumstances"

"Oh..hmmm, okay, I'm going with reincarnation, and can my power be a system like the novels I read when I'm still alive"

"Okay, Reincarnation it is then, and a system huh, hmmm.. Okay I will give a system because of your kindness to others and this system/your power will give you a chance to become one like me a God"

"Whoa, Really!!, So this is where it ends huh, my suffering"

"Okay, Farewell Child, I hope when I see you again you're a God by then, OFF YOU GO!!"

"Bye God, see you again next time"

Then he slowly loses consciousness.

...

...

...

...

In another world that is very different from Earth.

Inside a wooden house in a small village, you can hear the cries of a baby, that baby is John

'Huh, Finally after waiting for nine months inside my new mom's belly I'm finally out.' He thought.

Suddenly, his body emitted a very bright light. It was so bright that everyone inside the house needed to shield their eyes using their hands.

The light became a pillar and shot upward until it reached the sky. Then he fell unconscious.

-------------------------

Elsewhere

Inside a building that emits holiness, you can see an old man looking far away, where a very bright light shines from the sky.

"So 'THE ONE' has come, O Lord, Thank you, may the world be at peace"

----------------------

Elsewhere (again :b)

Inside a palace that is covered in darkness, sitting on a throne is a man with horns in his head and a tail an arrow shape in the end.

"So the enemy that is supposed to defeat me is already born huh!. bwahahahaha...GO ON TRY TO DEFEAT ME IF YOU CAN WAHAHAHA.!!!
