《A whole New World》


 Beginning Of An End

    Taking the strange tiny ball of light in my hands, I let it float slightly above my palm. The ball of light just randomly showed up out of nowhere. I was sitting under the old oak tree, up on the hill behind my grandma¡¯s farm when it just appeared. I was so surprised I sadly spit out the milk I was drinking. Ahhh! What a waste of fresh milk! If you could only see the devastated face I was making when it happened too. Priceless. Just like my beautiful milk that is now being absorbed into the ground below me.


    As you can see I love milk. It¡¯s my favorite drink to drink. It¡¯s very healthy and makes you grow. Not that it¡¯s helping me any, but none the less I love it. Anyways, back to the strange ball of light. Like I said it just appeared out of thin air and simply floated in front of me, not moving at all. Strange. Very strange. Any sane person would probably be screaming, running home in a fright. Thank goodness I¡¯m not normal.


    Lifting my cupped hands slightly, the ball bounces up. Hmmm¡­..this could be fun!  Smacking the ball of light, it flies through the air a couple of feet ahead of me and then slowly comes to a stop. Cracking my neck and slightly bouncing on the ball of my hills I, run towards the ball of light and smack it in the air with all my strength. There is no resistance or weight at all, the little ball of light only gives off a slight warming feeling when you touch it.


    The ball goes flying in the air some yards away. This little ball is really fun to play with. I was so bored with all this farm work and taking care of my old grandma by giving her foot massages every day at sundown. Thank goodness she fell asleep. Well, I can¡¯t really call it falling asleep more than just plain old passing out from drinking the sleeping pills I crushed into her liquor. Running towards the ball I bop it sideways and it zooms through the air a couple of feet past the forest entrance. Oops. I didn¡¯t think I hit it that hard. Biting my lip I eyeball the stationary ball. Should I go get it? I¡¯m not allowed into the forest. I¡¯ve been warned by my mother and grandma plenty enough times, to be weary of it. Snorting slightly, I slowly walk towards the ball.


    When have I ever let rules dictate what I want to do? Plus this is fun. When was the last time I actually had fun or found something interesting? I can¡¯t even remember. I think it was when I was five, before the unfortunate accident happened.


    Breaking the tree line I approach the ball. Before I can get to it through a sudden gust of wind blows my overgrown hair into my face. Wind and hair is assaulting my face for about a minute before it suddenly stops. Whipping the hair from my face and spitting those stray hairs from my mouth I glance towards the ball of light.. to see it wasn¡¯t there. Dang it! Where did it go?! Turning a circle I scan the forest. Ah! There it is! I barely spot the ball, but there it is. Deeper in the forest, I can see a faint glow. Shoot! It¡¯s getting darker out. Well whatever, I¡¯ll just play with the ball for just a little longer. I run towards the ball to smack it about, but before my hand can make contact, the ball moves away from my incoming hand.


    Ohhh!! So it can move! That makes it even better. For what seems like five minutes, but probably was longer I play with the ball until I¡¯m able to catch it.


    ¡°Hahahahaha! I got you weird ball of light! Now you are mines! Mwahahahaha!!!¡± I scream while clutching the light. ¡°My precious¡­your all mines.¡± Lol I had to. It was the perfect moment to bring out my Lord of the Rings reference. Chuckling slightly at my own foolishness, I happen to look up to find¡­¡­¡­Nothing. What the heck! Turning about I see absolutely nothing. No trees. No farm. No sky. No Ground¡­¡­Whoa! That¡¯s so cool! How the heck am I standing up?! Feeling something tingling in my hand, I open it up to see the ball fluctuating slightly. Letting it go, I step back and watch the ball grow, and grow and grow. The ball keeps growing till it is about the size of a large dog. At this size, it starts to get brighter till I can barely see through the slits of my squinting eyeballs. This is painful! It flipping burns my eyes! Stop with the annoying light already! All of a sudden, everything goes dark again. Eyes closed from the light, I can now hear crickets and animals roaming around. Opening my eyes I see that I''m at the edge or the forest by the hill I was on earlier. What the heck just happened?!


    Scratching my head in confusion, I then look around for the shining ball of light to see it is nowhere in sight. Well, whatever.....it was fun while it lasted. Sighing in slight longing, I walk back towards the farm, back to my boring, everyday life. Man, I wish I could have been born in another world full of great adventures. A life where I would never be bored and full of regrets. After all what 22 year old male who for some odd ass reason hasn''t hit puberty yet, want to be working on a boring farm, with their drunkard grandmother who smells like liquor and shit. Damn it all!


    "Dick! Get your lazy ass in this house and rub my feet!"


    Damn it! She woke up! I thought I put enough sleeping pills in her drink to knock her out for a whole day. Ughn.....fuck my miserable life! I wish I could be reborn somewhere awesome and not this shitty dump. Damn you grandmother! Damn you gods of misfortune! Damn you shitty parents! Damn you all! Just watch me! Someday I will disappear and become something great...something better than this shitty world deemed my worth to be. Just you all watch. It will happen. Also, who the fuck names their child dick?! Only someone who hates their kid would give them  such a god awful name. People just don''t understand the ridicule a child gets when they are named after a sexual organ. Poor young dick, may he rest in piece.  Amen.


    The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon."Hurry up you sack of cow dung! what the hell are you good for anyways! You never do anything right! You''re nothing like Susa or Toni at all!" She yells at me on the porch, waving a bottle of liquor through the air drunkenly.


    Irk! This woman....die already old hag. The only reason I''m here is because if I don''t work here for five years, I won''t get my half of the will. I''m not even sure it is actually worth it. My oh so perfect sibling already got there half of the will. My famous sister got the money. The money I didn''t even know my parents had, but apparently they were saving it for her. As for my smart diligent brother, he got some property that my parents also had without me knowing. They got all of the good stuff and like always I always get stuck with the shitty part. Damn it all.


    "Yea, yea I''m coming." Stupid witch of a grandmother. "Old hag." I couldn''t help whispering at the end.


    "What did you say!" She screams in my face as I try to sidestep her on the porch. Spit flies in my face and I flinch in disgust. "Nothing grandmother." I say with a forced smile. I can''t afford to make her too mad or I won''t be able to get my part of the will, if she decides to kick me off her property.


    "No! You said something you little shit!" She screams at me angrily while swing her bottle at me.


    Swiftly moving out of the way of the bottle, I skip to the side barely making it out of the way of the incoming bottle.


    "Watch it old hag!" I accidentally scream at her hatefully. She freezes and then swift as a snake snaps her head at me. She spins her head to fast I hear a crack from her neck. Ouch! That had to hurt, but I don''t see any inclination that she even felt it. All I see is a cold hate filled face full of so much rage that her face as turned a bright red color, that I''m sure isn''t normal for someone of her age. All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain in the side of my head. Before I could react she had hit me hard with the bottle in my head, so hard that the bottle breaks and I am pushed into the railing on the deck. Not even that stops me from falling.


    Not that it is surprising or anything, the railing was old anyways and needed to be fixed. It was always wobbly and seemed like it would break if even a little speck of dust brushed it, just like the house and the old hateful hag who has just assaulted me.what the hell is up with that anyways!?! Isn''t she too old to have that much strength!?


    Well, actually they do say crazy people for some reason are usually stronger than they look. I guess that applies to the old ones as well. Shit, why does it feel like something is sticking out of my stomach?  Looking down, which might I add was super hard for some odd reason, I see something sticking out of my stomach. Not understanding what it is, I stare at it till tears come to my eyes. I stare at it till the pain finally registers to my brain and I finally understand what is happening. The railing that I demolished on my way down had broken and speared me through the stomach.


    Freaking out from the fact that something has pierced my body, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can barely move my head at this point, but looking past the fact that I was just shish kabobed, I see a pool of red stuff  soaking into my clothing. Its memorizing, it just glistens in the moonlight, reflecting the moon and stars. Turning the sky red.


    Wait¡­¡­.What the Fuck?! The hell am I thinking?! I sound like Nicole?! That crazy artsy girl who use to make it her everyday goal to freak me the fuck out with her weird messed up psychotic views on the world. The crazy bitch. That bottle and my fall must have cracked my skull wide open.


    Crap¡­...i''m bleeding to death¡­.where the hell is that crazy old hag? A little help would be nice. Even though we don''t get along, she is still family. You would think she would at least feel something as her grandson slowly bleeds to death because of her. With the little bit of strength I have left, I painfully trist my head to look for her. Spotting a pair of old pterodactyl feet next to my head, I look up. I look right into the smug face of evil. This bitch! She is smiling like she just won a million bucks. We stare at each other until everything starts to darken. Before it all turns black, I hear one last thing.


    ¡°Have fun in hell you little shit. I''ll be seeing you later on, you worthless nothing. I hope you fully feel the pain of what you caused us in the afterlife.¡± The hateful old hag says loathsomely.


    Well fuck you too old hag, and with those last words in my panfilled mind,everything then disappears into nothingness.

 Gods and Goddesses?!

    Why is it so dark? I can''t see anything¡­...wait¡­.Where is my body?!? Oh, sweet baby pineapple! I''m dead! I''m dead! I''m de.......wait..this could be fun. Haha! Let''s float around like a crazy balloon! El oh el life. If this is afterlife, it''s not so bad after all. Ha! Suck it old hag!


    Mwahahahaha! Mwhahahaha! Mwahaha......wait. why does it feel like I''m being pulled down.....wait....wait.wait! Wait! Where am I going. As a giant force pulls me down into the blackness, I couldn''t help but wonder if this is the part where I go to the bad place. All of a sudden a blinding light flashes and then suddenly I''m in some strange all white room.


    Okaaaay......I can work with this. Ooohh....I''m still a floating ball of nothing. Sigh...what to do? What to do?


    Looking around the room, there was hardly anything there except a giant white chair in the middle of the room. Wow, that chair looks really comfy. Wish I had a butt to sit in it.


    Taking a double take at the chair, I am surprised to see someone sitting in it. Long curly brown hair on top of an elegant body wearing a white greek styled dress. Her face looked like it was carved on an angel. She was so radiant that it hurt to look at her. There was also a giant shadow hovering from the back. Staring at it, it really wasn''t a shadow but a giant man. He was also annoying to look at as well. Perfect dark mussed hair and a perfect sculpted face with piercing blue eyes. A body any man would kill to have.


    Damn, these beautiful looking people!


    Gritting my invisible teeth at the unfairness of it all. Like really, why was I the only one in the family cursed with an ugly baby face and tiny body?


    It feels as if fate is making fun of me and rubbing all my insecurities in my face. Staring at the two impossibly good looking people in front of me,I ask the questions that were permeating my mind.


    ¡°Who are you? What do you want? Why am I here? Why are you guys so good looking? And stop burning my eyeballs with your radiance!¡± I grumble out in annoyance.


    ¡°Well young one, we are what you would call Gods.¡± A melodic female voice says in my head, well if i had one anyways. Which is pretty cool by the way. Hahaha. I have no head and yet I hear her voice in it. How weird.


    ¡°As for your next question, we simply would like to fix an error that was made by our subordinate. Which leads us to your next question of why you are here.¡±


    ¡°As for why we are good looking, it''s because we are just awesome that way.¡± A manly yet hypnotizing voice adds. Glancing at the man, I see him smirking arrogantly.


    Seriously?! WHY ARE YOU TAUNTING ME WITH YOUR GOOD LOOKINGNESS?!?!  IT''S NOT FAIR! GRRRR!


    ¡°Santhos! Don''t be so full of yourself little brother. You are stressing the child out. ¡°  The woman scoldingly says to the man.


    Pfft! What kind of name is Santhos? What a weirdo!


    ¡°Hey! What kind of name is Dick!?¡± The male blurts out with an offended face. What? Did I say that out loud?


    "I''ll have you know Santhos is an awesome name. Way better than being named after a human sex tool! Also, no, you didn''t say anything out loud. We can hear you thoughts human." He adds grumpily.


    Widening my non-existent eyes in slight embarrassment from all the thoughts that flashed through my head since meeting these two, I blush, well in my imagination I do anyways.


    How embarrassing. Hearing a tinkling laugh in my head, i look at the goddess sitting down trying to stifle her laughter.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay little one. haha. It¡¯s not odd for you to be awed by our appearances. Even among the gods/godesses we are still at the top with our looks. Even they are sometimes awed by us, even though they have seen us plenty of times. It is part of our power. Its nothing to be ashamed of.¡± She amusedly declares.


    Well if she says so, I guess I can''t blame them for taunting me with their good looks and charm.


    ¡°Anyways, as to why you are here. like I previously said, we are trying to fix a mistake our subordinate made.¡±


    What does she mean by that?


    ¡°And what I mean by that is the mistake made when you were six years old. That incident was never meant to happen and no amount of apologies will fix what was lost. As Gods/Goddesses even we are not exempt from certain laws. We can not bring anything back once it is lost, so we have a proposition for you, that I believe will compensate for our subordinates error.¡± She says staring at me unblinkingly with her piercingly blue eyes.


    ¡°First, we would like to personally apologize, even though we know it will not make up for the misfortunes passed on to you. Even we Gods/Goddesses know when to admit to our mistakes. Secondly we would like to give you a chance at a new life. We have personally made it possible for you to be reincarnated. You can either be reincarnated on earth without any memory whats so ever or be reincarnated into another world, that is full of many different kinds of creatures. A world where magic exists and everyday is fight to live. These are your only choices. Choose wisely human.¡± Santhos says stoically.

    INFORMATION OVERLOAD!! What is happening right now. Oh my goodness, I can''t believe this is happening to me. Finally, something good is coming my way. Well this is a no brainer. The one that sounds the funnest is the one I am going to pick, but before I say which one I should probably ask this one last question before I can no longer ask it.


    ¡°What happened to the subordinate that has ruined my life?¡± It is a valid  question, even though they are giving me a new life, i would still like to know the punishment that has befallen the one who has wrecked my life.


    ¡°Don''t worry little one, our subordinate has been given a fit punishment for the grief they have cause you. As Divine beings, we have a duty to protect the order of things. To protect those who cannot protect themselves and what our lackey had done is unforgivable. I believe their punishment is most suitable considering the damage they have cause. Dont ask what it is. We will not tell. Now tell us which one do you choose?¡± She asks.


    Well, atleast they are being punished. No need for me to worry about it I guess. ¡°I choose to keep my memories and to be reincarnated into this new world.¡± I state enthusiastically.


    ¡°Okay then. in about a minute you will be transported straight to a young girl by the name of Talisha. Once there you will be given the option of chooses a race to be reincarnated into. I suggest you not be hasty in choosing. Choose wisely for when you do choose, you will be what you have chosen for the rest of your life.¡± Santhos states with little emotion in his voice.


    What the heck crawled up his butt and die? Why is he suddenly all different? ~Sigh~  Well whatever. I am not going to stress my non-existent brain over this.


    ¡°Good luck little human.¡± The woman says before I am sucked into a bright light.


    It feels like im in some sort of jet stream! Whoop! This is fun! HAHAHA! If I  had hands I would''ve had them in the air waving them around like crazy.


    Then before I could comprehend what was happening, I was suddenly in another all white room. Except this one didn''t have a chair, this one only had a single young girl standing in the middle of the room, looking bored.


    I wonder if this is Talisha. She really does look young. At around what I would say 4¡¯6, this girl looked to be around 8 with a caramel skintone. She had long all black hair and was wearing a purple dress with a black belt around the middle and black ankle boots. She looked really adorable actually. Her face was that of a baby with her slight pinchable cheeks and her giant baby blue eyes. Awwwww. How cute! Make me want to hug her, well if i had arms anyways.


    ¡°Eh hm! Quit your staring Human! ~Desu~¡± A cute little voice commands.


    Awwwwwwww! How cute!


    ¡°My name is Talisha ~Desu~ and I''ve been tasked with getting your soul to its destination safely. ~desu~¡± She says cutely with a serious face.


    Awwwww! ~I want to hug herrr~


    ¡°Now ~Desu~ pick a being to be reincarnated into. ~Desu~¡± She says as a bunch of different creatures and humanoid beings show up in front of me on a screen. There are millions of beings in front of me. Ugggg¡­.How am I supposed to choose from this.


    ¡°Do I have to choose? Can I randomly pick something?¡±  I ask already bored from scrolling through a few. What the heck are these anyways? I think this one is an elf or something. What is this blobby thing? What the heck kind of lizard has TWO heads?! Ughn¡­.This is painful to look at.


    ¡° You can choose randomly, but I wouldn''t if I were you. ~Desu~ You never know what you might get. ~Desu~¡± She warns.


    ¡°I don''t care! I can''t choose like this! It''s too much to choose from. I want to choose randomly.¡± I say.


    ¡°Okay. ~desu~ press that little red button at the bottom and it will randomly choose something for you. ~Desu~ But be warned that once it has chosen, you will not know what you will become until it''s too late and  you''re already reincarnated. ~Desu~¡± She warns me, but before she could say anything else i already have pushed the button.


    There, now this is where the fun starts. Hearing a sigh I look over to the young girl to see her rolling her eyes. Whatever. It''s not like she is the on being randomly sucked into another body.


    ¡°Well ~Desu~ Your race has been chosen and you will be whisked off to your new world in a matter of some seconds. So have fun and¡­..Oh! ~Desu~ before you go tell my sist___¡± She starts, but before she could finish a blinding light flashes and then everything goes black.
