On a typical warm sunny day
There on the sidewalk, walking near close to each other is a tight knit group of friends, just freshly out of school.
"Hey James, what school are you aiming for in college?" Asked by a short haired boy wearing a typical school uniform.
"Hmm... My parents wants me to go for a State University." James replied back as he and his group of friends continue to walk down on the sidewalk of the street, cars moving past them as they go.
"Well knowing you, you could easily ace it anyways." Said by another one of his friends.
"Haaa... I have to study harder if that's going to be the case..." The girl holding hands with James said sluggishly before returning it back into a smile.
"Now now, you really have to step up your game aren't you now!" Said teasingly by another girl of his friend group.
"Ahhh...! College! The hell incarnate!" Said dramatically by another.
They all began to laugh, knowing that College wouldn't be easy, they may all have come from a well-off private school, but even they know the horrors that is waiting for them after they graduate from Senior High.
But they all know, that as long as they are with each other, with their friend group consist of 5 people, they can weather through the obstacles that may follow them together.
As they all chat happily together, a loud noise began to come from on a incoming truck on the road.
Looking at it with annoyance for a few seconds, then they went back on chatting about what their future would be.
Then the truck began swerving left and right, as it looks to be out of control, then all of a sudden, it began heading towards them.
Due to the speed of the truck, they couldn't react in time, the truck then hits the wall of a house, puffs of smoke follows seconds later.
"I-Is everyone alright?!" Said by one of his friends.
"Yeah...! We good here!" Replied back by one of them.
"Gosh! What's with the reckless driving!" Angrily said by one of the girls
"W-wait... Where's James!" The girl, his girlfriend, frantically looks around as the smoke began to settle.
"Hk-chkk! Ah... Ha... Ha..."
As they heard that sound along with the smoke clearing up, faces of shock and horror began to show on them.
It was at this moment that they realized that the truck had actually taken one of the students with it.
Through the wreckage on the front of the truck, the student James painfully coughs out blood.
His upper body is the only one that is visible, and it is unknown how much damage his lower body has sustained.
'Damn... I didn't signed up for this...' He grimaced with the thought, not accepting that he has to be in a situation where he's in a origin of the isekai novels that he had read, countless of times at that.
'Why me...? I don't need to be isekaid... I never even thought of going to another world...' Even though he wasn't exactly sure that he would be isekaid, nor does he fully believed heaven and hell.
One thing for certain to him is that, getting killed by truck-kun is one of the most typical ways of getting there.
As he looks down on himself, a puzzled look appears on his face.
'I couldn't feel a thing...?'
As his eyes slowly began to move unfocused to his surroundings, he could see the panic and terrified looks of his friends.
One of them is calling out for help; the other is stomping across the sidewalk with phone near the ear, hurrying up the rescue responders; one seems to be passed out; while the last one is—
"No no no! Don't you die on me! James!" Called out by his girlfriend who's trying to move the wrecked front of the truck while tears flow from her face.
"Look at me! Don't you close your eyes! Everything's gonna be ok! Just hang in there! " She says while crying, clinging to hope that the one she loved would be saved.
Though unbeknownst to her, and his friends, he is already beyond saving, he have lost a lot of blood, his bones are crushed, he also already has troubled breathing and much more.
"Haa... Haa... S-sorry..." He said faintly as he struggles to focus on their blurred figures.
"Come on! Where is the ambulance already?!" His girlfriend Angela shouted impatiently, she knew that they couldn't afford to wait much longer, every second that passes, means that every second he's slipping further away from her .
"They're already on the way!" Said by the other girl of the group as she hurriedly go close to James.
"C-can't we do something about him...?" She followed up, voice filled with worry.
"We... We weren't taught on what to do in this situation... Other than calling for help..."James's girlfriend cursed inwardly to herself, blaming her own helplessness and lack of knowledge.
One of James friend then began hurriedly come towards them.
"Damn it James...! We are still supposed to be taking part of the upcoming E-sports!" He said angrily, but not towards James, but towards the heavens above.
"You're not going to die right...? Right?" He meekly followed up, face with sadness and a tear flowing out from his eye.
"Coff-! Agh... I... Wish that... that were the... case..."As James spoke, tears welled up in his eyes before pouring down like a dam full of water burst forth.
'Not yet! No...! I-I still have a lot of things to do... Things I want to do with, with them, my family...!' Is all he could think about as the chill of the wind embraces his bloody wounds.
"I-I... I'm sorry... everyone..." He said with a faint breath as his friends gather around him.
They are aware after all, even as much as they want to deny it, even as how much they disagree on reality. That their friend, James, is beyond saving.
His sight is getting more blurry, sounds are fading... 'Is this it...? Is this how it feels...? Fuck...'
With that last thought. Everything went dark.
...
...
...
Huh...? Where am I? I can't see anything. It feels like I'm swimming in water. Drifting... Moving from who knows where.
Didn't I just die? How am I still thinking? Or is this what they call soul? Well never mind that for now, it seems like I'll be able to discover what happens after someone dies!
Hm? I see light? Wait, how am I supposed to see light when I shouldn't suppose to see anything...?
Then I feel coldness, next I'm hearing... Cries? I try to open my eyes, but their incredibly blurry as heck.
From what I see with these useless eyes of mine, there's like 2 fuzzy figures...
"Welcome to the world, kid!" Said by the still fuzzy figure. But based by the voice... It's got to be Dad! Followed then by the loud sounds of cackling.
Though please! For the love of all things! Tone your voice the fuck down! Dad!
"Uwaa! Uwe! Uwaaa! Uwa!"
Are all what I heard coming from my mouth.
Good gracious, now I'm a fucking baby. Fuckkkkkk!
