BORN OF DOOM

Chapter 2: Unknown

What the hell just happened? Why is everything so dark? What happened to me, where am i? What the heck is going on here?, how did I end up in this dark place? Huh...where is my body, why can't I feel it?

Having a feeling of foreboding and not being able to feel his body, panick immediately set in, fear gripping his heart....oh the dead don't have working hearts.

Damn it!...who the hell brought me here, how did I end here? Is this it... am I dead? Wow so I died or is it someone playing with me, anybody here? What the f**k am I doing here and where the f**k am i? DAMN IT!!!

Not being able to feel his body, his consciousness wandered around the darkness aimlessly.

He stayed in the dark void for what seems to be eternity with not even a flash of light or a blink. After so many days which he lost count of.....a light shone, a very bright light, it was so bright to a level that there wasn't an hint or trace of darkness.

The young man shot his eyes tightly so as not to go blind...well his consciousness that was stretched due to him trying to study his environment, retracted back due to the light. Then the scenario changed to another plain a place full of whiteness and clouds.

The place was void of living being, not even those that are not living, there was just a beautiful cloud spread out as far as the eyes can see.

Suddenly a voice reverberated from the cloud, there was no direction from where it came from. It was as if the whole clouds was the mouth.

"young man what do you seek and why is your consciousness spread so thin.....are you looking for something??"

"Who are you and where are you speaking from??" the young man questioned the voice back with a weary tone, trying hard to detect the direction of the voice.

"I asked you a question " answered the voice

"Answer mine first" the young man retorted, he was growing impatient.

"Sigh.... OK go on and ask whatever you want" the voice said. "You humans are so despicable and arrogant" it added

"Are you done....if you're done can I go ahead with my question? The young man said arrogantly

"okay I'm all ears" said the voice

"who are you, where am i, from where are you speaking from, why was i in that horror darkness and why is there no human here, why did you refer to me as human since you sound like one" asked the young man

After asking a mirage of questions, there was silence for a long time. The young man even thought that the voice had disappeared.

"Which of your questions do you want answers for??" The voice said again, breaking the silence.

"Everything.....just everything, answer all." The young man grew impatient.

"first, you can't know who I am, because I am addressed with different names. You Humans call me the creator, some calls me the benefactor , some the guy upstairs, some the great one, some invisible.....lots and lots of names." It paused for a second then continued.

" As for your second question..... you're in a place far away from earth, far away from the world you came from, you can guess where I'm speaking from....i don't need to answer that."

"As for your fourth question, you were in a place called the void...a place of no living, a place full of darkness, a place that has no end and limit,.....why you were there is because you're dead.... that's why you can't feel your body, you're a.....you're just a mere consciousness that I've kept alive because it's not yet time for you to die, well there is no human here because I'm not human" the voice answered.

The consciousness of the young man compressed as if trying to enter itself.

" Why is there a fourth answer when there is no third ??" He young man asked

"Really, I already answered that" the voice responded

"so what you're trying to tell me is that I'm dead and you kept me alive, no my consciousness alive because you feel that it is not yet time for me to die right??" He paused then asked a question that really bothered him.

"what actually killed me...how did I die? " the young man questioned

"Let me show you the video of your death so you'll understand " the voice replied

There was a small flicker of light in midair, out of the flicker of light appeared a large screen made of light. The young man decided to look at the view upfront and he could see everything that transpired before his death.

It look surreal, like there was a camera secretly capturing his movements, his words, his thoughts and actions.

"Wow this is how i just ended my life, those mother fuckers and their gang war" the young man said soberly

"Huh...i thought you wanted to start a gang so why curse them? " the voice said mockingly

"Snort, i just thought about it.... Wait how did you know I was thinking about forming a gang against those influencial monsters, I haven't told anyone about it because those licompoop killed me" the young man said

"Haha...i'm omniscient and potent, I'm not what humans can comprehend, I know every single thoughts going through every single humans... so you don't need to be surprised " the voice said while laughing

The young man interrupted the voice.

"Can I make a request??"

The voice grew silent then said

"Go ahead and make your request."

" Can you just come right down here in your true form before I make my request, you know....." He paused for sometime, the voice kept silent, urging him to continue.

"It doesn't make sense for me to make a request without having to see the face and form of what I am making the request to."

The voice was silent for few seconds then a giggling sound permeating the surroundings.

"Really, you really want to see my true form and do what ugh??" The voice said mockingly.

Without giving the young man a chance to answer it said.

" You are really interesting, if I don't know better, I would have appeared and ended up getting a beating....." The voice continue to giggled, then it stopped and a hint of seriousness could be discerned from it's tone.

"That said....do you think you could even touch me in that form of yours, you are just a mere consciousness."

A solemn voice responded

" Oh so he reads thoughts too"

" I don't read thoughts, I hear them, besides you don't have a mouth, everything you said are mere thoughts from your consciousness." The voice said

"You are in my head??" The young man asked

" Of course you don't have a head, no shape even." The voice responded with a bewildered tone.

"Alright, alright you got me there. Sigh....I really can do nothing to you in this form, though...." The young man said soberly.

Then an angry word resounded in the cloud

"Since you know what is going on on earth, why the hell did you watch me go through all that hell, why have all this powers just for you to seat right there and do nothing but watch.....do our lives out there looks as if we are acting to you!?? How could you watch all those pain I lived through, how could you watch me lose everything, everyone I loved and cared for, how could you watch those monsters stay unkilled at the top when you could just end them with a snap of your finger!!!.....How, just how, it's just unfair, it totally is" his voice broke as he went silent

Silence hung in the air for a long time with no one saying anything to the other.

"Sigh...i really wished I could do something." The voice said.

"I really wished I could interfere and change a lot of things, but if I do, the world won't run the way it is again. Everyone writes their own fate before going there, they only have the right to change their fate. If i interfere, then everything we worked for will have no meaning..." The voice said

" Besides, humans caused all these, they are the orchestrator who changed everything that we set down from the beginning." The voice got to that point and said nothing else for a long time, making everything descend in silence again.

"You said we....what do you mean we, who are we, are there others like you out there, are all of you watching us as a means of entertainment.....what is it you all planned from the beginning.....what beginning??" The young man asked

" That's enough young man, those are not things mere mortal like you should know." The voice said

"You.... well I've nothing to say, so tell me, why did you keep my consciousness alife when it's not necessary, there is nothing left for me to do on earth nor is there anyone waiting for me. Don't tell me you are keeping me alive to throw me back in that hell??" The young man asked

" No, I am sending you into a different world" the voice said

" What world??" The young man asked again

"I'm sending you into a world, a world you might have heard of, a world human thinks of it as fantasy, a world where the strong and powerful rules. I've watched you all through your life, I created you and i'm going to give you a second chance... so use this new life well, tribulations and persecution will come your way, it's up to you to choose either to give in to depression or stand tall with your head lifted high and your shoulder up" the voice said with a serious tone

" There are lots of wonders and trials in that world, your survival lays in your hand." the voice then paused.

" Don't get your hopes up, you are just given a second chance, you wouldn't be given an easy life, so steel your resolve."

"So farewell and go live a new life... Haha" The voice added with a loud laugh

Before the young man could pick up the pieces and join them together so he could understand what the voice said and also ask questions he was again thrown into the void.
