Chapter 1: JIm

             Jim sat propped against the tank. His body in chest punctured by a piece of shrapnel. Currently, the pain screaming through his body was the only reminder of his mortality. He was now currently thinking about Candy. Candy was the name of the first girl he had ever fallen in love with. But that wasn't the type of candy he was thinking about. He was thinking about sweets. All the sugary factories and all the candy stores had been bought up by the government. The sugar they produced was then used as a new propellant for bullets. Jim didn't understand how it worked, but he didn't question the government. He'd been drafted when he was only 16. This war had been going on for five years already. He smiled to himself and looked down at his bloodied hands. He was currently holding a gamma rifle. The Gamma rifle was the brand new well when he was drafted, a brand-new rifle everyone had. It could melt through steel in .2 seconds. Well, that was only an inch of steel in .2 seconds, but that was still very impressive. Though the beam only lasted for two seconds. His sidearm was a bayonet his great grandfather had during World War Two. It lay limply at his side. He looked at the entity in front of him, being clad in smoke. This smoke was the color of shadow. The only thing of color was the bleach white skull peeking through the robes. The figure was also tapping his pointer fingers together. Death seemed to be socially awkward.

          “Well, this is awkward,” said death, “I came here 5 minutes too early.”

“What do you mean too early?” Said Jim.

“Well,” said death, “You were supposed to die in 5 minutes, but I thought about reaping all these souls and I just got nervous.”

“So you came here late?”

“Yeah, that's it,” responded death.

“I wish I had friends like you. All my other friends just made fun of me for growing up my beard too long,” Said Jim.

“I thought military men weren't supposed to have beards.”

“Yeah, that's how it usually goes. But I've been here for five years, and my commander let me grow out a beard,” Jim responded again.

“I got to a thinking it. I'm supposed to be doing something right now, but I'm putting it off,” Said death.

“What is it you're putting off?” Said Jim.

“I'm supposed to kill this mortal that thinks he's a God so hard he's actually becoming a God, but I don't have the courage to do it.”

“That sounds like you're in a pickle,” said Jim.

“I am in a pickle,” responded death.

“So I was also thinking, why don't you go do it for me and in return I'll give you a paradise of a next life,” Continued death.

“So in contrast, how was my life in this world on a scale from one to 10?” Asked Jim.

“About a two in 10.”

“That is what I thought. Yes, sure. Death. I will take you up on that offer,” Jim said, accepting the offer.

“So that'll do it. But just let me explain this world you are going to it's not in this one. The other world it is. It's a bit strange compared to this one.” explained death.

“How so?” said Jim.

“Well, half of this world has been invaded by this God like immortal, and most of his underlings are about as strong as an M3 Abrams tank.” Continued death.

“That's not good,” said Jim.

“You are right, that is not good at all. So, I'm gonna give you a bit of a boost when you get there,” Explained death.

“What kind of boost?” Said Jim.

“Like super strength, super endurance, As well as being able to see heat for some reason, that's about as many of the boosts I got left because all the other gods keep making fun of me for being socially awkward, so they don't give me the right to give any mortals that I bless any really cool abilities,” Ranted death.

“That all seems really cool,” said Jim, supporting death, “are there any other abilities you can give me?”

“Oh yeah, I can. I can enchant your weapons, which will make them indestructible, and their gamma rifle will have infinite ammunition,” Explain to death, nodding to himself.

“Thanks Death. I will have a new purpose in life and this life I had no purpose. So in the next one I guess I'm gonna kill a God or a false God.”

“Oh, and in this world they're gonna go to, the year isn't 2070, it's the year 1133,” Said death.

“Is there any magic in the next World?” Said Jim.

“Yes, there is. There's not really any advent of technology. Most people still only use chain mail or mail as they're supposed to call it, but everyone calls it chainmail. Well, anyway, I'm gonna send you to this world, you know, I'm gonna give you one companion, Fr. Recall she. Worships me in this world, but she lives in the other world and her name is red”

“Really, her name is Red” said Jim.

“Yes, it is. Don't make fun of her name. She can kick you, your ****. She can kick your **** real good. Why is the universe censoring the word butt? I don't know, it's strange. I'm gonna ignore it,” Said death.

“What do you mean the world is censoring the word but?” Asked Jim.

“Well, you see, we're technically in a web novel right now, so this universe is just a figment of people's imagination.”

“You're breaking the 4th wall too much death,” Said Jim.
