-2 Beginning via death

"Son, your father has lived a long life. It has become a depressing life since your mother left us, it has been 4 years and I had like to meet her again if possible after death somewhere somehow. Son the doctor has already said I won't have a lot of time left, so just let me speak. I have worked hard to be the man I'm right now. My parents, your grandparents used to work as daily pay workers at construction sites. I didn't have a lot of essentials as a kid. So I worked hard as a son, husband and father to make sure you never lack what I lacked. I haven't spent much time with you and your sister growing up. It's when your mother left that my world fell apart and I realised that I haven't been able to be with both of you. I started paying more attention and trying to keep in touch with both of you as much as possible. I know I was not the closest father figure you could have but I loved you all in my heart, to bring smiles to your face which I never personally witnessed. I hope you forgive me. I left you both completely in your mother's hands. Maybe I lost myself in making money for both of you... Well this all sounds like a excuse of a trash father but its from my heart I won't lie on my death bed. I'm proud of few things in my life, marrying your mother, my career as a superstar of the film industry and seeing both my children be successful in what they wanted to be. Take good care of each other in the future. Make sure to spend more time with your family so you don't have to be like me. A man who doesn't know his own children. I'm sorry son. I'm sorry! "

The old man with white hair and wrinkles on face broke down as he finished saying this to the young man sitting on chair next to his head.

The young man wore a khaki color blazer with a white t-shirt and jeans. The young man placed his hand on the old man's hand that was resting on his chest and spoke.

"Dad, Mom has told us everything about you, about your childhood, grandpa and grandma, and your worries about not being able to do enough for your family. As a kid I was never able to understand why all these people where so crazy about person like you who could act like outstanding father on screen but never bothered if his own children missed the same fatherly love. But now as I'm a father myself it's difficult to blame you. Though I would still want you to be there on those days when we got awards or reprimanded us for our mistakes. Sister has loved you more as her idol actor then a father. As for forgiveness there is nothing to forgive. I can say and know that you weren't ignoring us because you wanted...... Dad are you sure you don't want to get the surgery? "

" No, it's time to leave now, I can feel it. The end to this life shall be the beginning to a new story..... Hehe look at me being all emotional and cheesy."

The young man sighed listening to the old man's reply. He stood up bend his back and kissed the oldman on his forehead. He left the room after seeing the oldman was asleep with a slight smile on his wrinkled face.

Inside a room that was dark, yet sparkling lights can be seen all around. It was difficult to say how far or close this sources of lights were.

A ball of light that wasn't bigger than an tennis ball stayed afloat with nothing to hold it up.

Soon, a figure of a man appeared in front of the ball of light. The man had a handsome face with deep eyes which were sharp. He had a what can be called a '3 day stubble beard'. His clothes where unique but still gave the impression of some who was in power and authority. He looked at the ball of light for a few moments and nodded to himself.

This moments felt like hours to the ball of light.

Yes, this is the soul of the old man who just passed away a few moments ago. It felt like the man who looked young yet had an aura of someone who had seen it all. His gaze made him feel as if there was no secret that the young man could not see. This made him restless but unable to do anything. He knew he was lying on the hospital bed and suddenly he appeared in this bizarre place were nothing made sense to him.

Finally, the eternal silence was broken by the young man. But his words made the soul astounded.

"Hahah... Good. You are good. There is a good specimen this time. Alright, here's the thing. I'm the person in charge of the third grade world or in your words the Three Dimensional World. Well, I see that you are already aware that you are dead. No need to fret cause you are lucky. Usually people are either reincarnated or asked to be on standby. But they are still sent to the same world they came from. But in your case... "

The young man was interrupted by the soul. As soul had gotten its thoughts together. It asked.

" Where is this place?What is this thing about me being a good specimen? What do you mean 'lucky'? What do you mean by incharge of the 3D World? Why.... "

This time it was the young man who intervene with a smile.

"I'll explain, right now you are in a place that can be considered the border of the 4D World. Basically, your kind is still far from reaching this place, too far. Anyways it won't be much use to you right now to know all the details cause it's way beyond your control and comprehension. Next about you being a good specimen, you will be sent to another world with life on it. As for being 'lucky' that's because your life story was entertaining to me. Hahhahha... So I'll be sending you to reincarnate to another world with life on it. With your past life's memories and knowledge of History, Mathematics, Science & Technology and miscellaneous other knowledge. And why I am doing this for? For entertainment!"

Hearing this the soul was more confused then he was when all this started. Wasn't I supposed to meet a beautiful angel with wings and halo of light and holyness. What's up with this dude who is speaking all the nonsense about 3D and 4D? Wasn't there supposed to be two large doors one to heaven and another to hell or something? Am I being scammed even after death!?

Looking at the soul that was silent after listening to his words. He spoke again.

"You don't have to think too much about it. Whether you like it or not there are no angels that await you here. Though there is a species that meets your description. Let me show you."

Saying that the man waved his left hand and suddenly the room that contained only glimmers of light and covered in darkness turned into a scene of a group of people. About seven who had wings on their back. Two of them had three pairs of wings, while the others had two pairs or less. They were flying while hold weapons, they had blonde hair and skin was shining smooth and white. Soon however the scene returned to the dark place as it was before.

The young man spoke again. With a smile.

"This is the 4D World from where I can see everything that happens in the 3D World at my fingertips."

"Does that mean you are a god?"

"No, and yes."

"I don't get it!" said the soul impatiently.

"It depends on your definition of the word 'god'. If you meant the one who overlooks your world then from that perspective I am! However if your definition is the one who created the worlds or the universes than 'No'" the man answered.

"Than were you given this job or responsibility by him?" the soul inquired.

"It has been like this for tens of billions of years. No one allotted me this post." said the man.

"....." the soul was rendered speechless.

The young man gave a loud laugh and said.

"You don't have to worry about this things they won't be revealed to you no matter how you ask. It's not like you are one who believes in God, correct?" inquired the man with no other meaning.

The soul replied.

"I believe that someone created this or all of worlds and I would like to meet such and powerful entity if possible!"

"Hahhahha..... Interesting. I however believe that that person created all of this for a single purpose - A worthy rival." the man replied with excitement in his eyes and voice that was obvious.

"According to you he wants us to challenge him?" The soul asked with a doubtful voice.

"Possibly" The man replied with confidence.

"Why do you say so? Has he been challenged before?" The soul asked again with interest.

"YES!" Again replied the man with confidence!
