The assassin's journey - Chapter 1
Suddenly, I open my eyes and see nothing but a pure white space around me.
“I was sure that I left the house to go find a part-time job and then I was hit by a truck…”
I died after being hit by a truck…
“That’s right! I was run over by a truck and died!”
Then where is this? It doesn’t look like an ordinary place at all and it doesn’t seem like heaven either. I check my body. I’m wearing the same clothes that I was when I died. Nothing hurts in particular.
I’m doing this when suddenly a voice sounds out of nowhere, I can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman.
“Well, I see you’ve finally woken. Well, I guess you’re not really okay, are you~”
They have a neutral appearance, no, rather…
I’m sure this person wasn’t here a moment ago when I looked around…
“Oh, you must be confused. Well, it can’t be helped since this is your first time dying~”
It seems it’s definite that I died after being hit by a truck, or rather, there’s no such thing as this being your first time dying. What I’m more curious about is who this person is. I gather up my courage to ask them.
“Excuse me, who are you?”
Their reply came right away.
“My name is Rusty. In your world, I would be something like a god~”
