Narrator(old man voice): When i was around my teenage years life seemed hopeless and meaningless to me. That was untill the day I found out its cost and value...

Earlier on in my childhood i had a best friend with whom I'd regularly go out to play with. Mostly we'd just go around pranking people and going off to play games like hide and seek in the woods. It was fun really...Well it was until the day she was murdered.

I was there witnessing how it happened scared for my life behind a tree. But I couldnt do anything. Neither yell or move at all...I wanted to save her or go get someone to help. In the end my body wouldnt let me move. I was frozen. Forced to stand there and watch the gruesome scene. To make things worse when i finally had the courage to move I just turned around and ran away like the coward i was...I guess thats when i just gave up on life...After that event i avoided socializing making friends all of that stuff. I shut down any and everything that might remind me of it. I didn't even attend her funeral. I really was just a coward...

Surgeon 1 (male): "C'mon, c'mon, we need to get him stabilized!" he said as he pushed the hospital bed in place.

Surgeon 2 (female): Hes losing too much blood!

Narrator: oh yea, this was it...The end of the line. Sad really. All my life i was just a by-stander. The kind of person that just watches and never acts. Maybe I shouldve tried making a difference. Well then again im a person with cancer. People pittied me but it's not like they wouldve bothered to even listen to me.

Mc's Mother: "How is he!? I have to see him, let me through!" she said as she tried to rush in the room.

Surgeon 3 (female): "Im sorry ma'am but we need you to be patient." she said as she took her out of the room.

Narrator: Oh yea mom was there too for a sec right before she was kicked out. Come to think of it i never did meet my father. All mom ever told me is that he was always bussy in his office working down in the basement. He was supposedly very strict about no one seeing his work too. Kinda suspicious to be honest. Eh forget it he's long gone and so will I be soon.

Heart Monitor: __/__/__/ ________________

Surgeon2: "Were loosing him!"

Surgeon1: "Get the defibrilator!"

Surgeon4 (male): "Already on it. CLEAR!"

Heart Monitor://///______________

Surgeon3: "Still out."

Surgeon1: "AGAIN."

Surgeon4: "CLEAR!"

Narrator: And so they tried to bring me back but I wouldnt wake up. How could I? I wasn't even there. Oh yea, almost forgot to mention. This is the story of how i died and well...somehow came back to life...in another world.

...kinda.

Narrator: When i woke up i wasn't at the hospital, my house, or anywhere i had been recently. Instead i was at my old highschool not to mention the fact that I was a teenager again. I was there just laying on the ground in What seemed to be the lobby. I couldn't move...or even talk. The more I tried the less I could feel my body. There was nobody around to help so I mighy as well have kept going. Eventually I even lost my sense of touch entirely. It was like i was slowly dying again. Thats when i saw her. A blond cow-like busty woman in a white lab coat rushing at me.

???: "Oh dear! I'm not gonna make it!"

Narrator: She...triped... She ended up right next to me face planted on the ground.

???:"Ouchie...Oh yes I gotta get you stablized!"

Narrator:She proceeded to put her hand in front of my chest and the next thing i saw was a green glow emmited right from her hand. No hologram or illusion work, it was real magic. After just a few seconds i could move and speak again.

Bell:"I-uh...thanks...? Where am I, whats going on, what the hell was that green stuff on your hand, are you some kind of demon?!"

Nurse:🤣🤣🤣 "No silly welcome to purgatory Im the nurse in this school. You died and now have been chosen as a hero candidate. Oh and as for that green stuff well that was healing magic."

Bell: . . . 😑 "Magic?"

Nurse: "Oh jeez I forgot how ignorant kids these days are. C'mon I might as well give you a tour and explain."

Bell: "Sure, why not."

Narrator: To summarize all the information that was given to me on the spot as i was given a tour through the school I basically have been chosen by god to guide souls through purgatory to Heaven. Supposedly if I could manage to guide atleast 10,000 souls then i would be granted a wish. Anything i want granted just like that. "You could even wish to go back home" she said After showing me the main office nurse office and lunch room she proceeded to take me to my new classroom.

Nurse: Opened the door took me in and excused my tardyness.

Narrator: And thats when I met my teacher. An incredibly muscular man almost twice my size wearing nothing more than a tank top and pair of sport short pants. The moment i saw him i felt an inzane amount of tension weigt on me. But anyways back to the story.

Teacher: "Right...so whats your name again?"

Mary (nurse): "I keep telling you It's Mary! Anyways u have a new student so take care of him and I'll be on my way."

Teacher: Sighed and mumbled to himself "That woman is so weird at times..."

Bell: "Uh...hi?"

Teacher: "Ah yes you can write your name on the board and...well present yourself"

Bell: "Ok..."

Narrator: I than proceeded to walk up to the chalk board pick up a chalk and write my name.

Student A: "Bell? What, are you gonna go ding dong or something?"

Students: 🤣🤣🤣

Teacher: "Hey! HEY! Show some respect!"

Students: "Aye, Sir..."😒

Teacher: Sigh "Sorry about them theyre just as confused as you are they also dropped in on these few days. Why dont you take a seat I doubt they'll listen to you after that."

Bell: "Yea Thats fair I guess..."

Narrator: I took the one open seat that was open. Now that I think about it it's still quite surprising that it wasn't by the window. Somehow that seat was already taken. I ended up with the seat at the back-right corner. Then the teacher began to speak.

Teacher: Welcome everyone to well...purgatory the plain between life and death bla bla bla, that should all be self explanatory. My name is Xaxa Phoenix and I will be the one in charge of you all for this whole year.

Xaxa: I insist you simply call me Xaxa.

Student B: Raised his hand

Xaxa: "Yes?"

Student B: "Question, why are we here and what are we supposed to do now?"

Xaxa: "Oh yes, but of course. Anyone that ends up here is because of 1 of 2 reasons. 1 being that for some reason you still have a dire necessity to go back to your respectable living realms. And the the other being that a god, godess or "The Master" himself has chosen all of you as possible Hero Candidates."

Narrator: At that moment the entire class started talking amongst themselves about how absurd it all sounded. Cant really blame them after hearing that.

Student A: "So what are we supposed to be magical now?"

Students:🤣🤣🤣

Xaxa: "Yes that is exactly what that means, thanks for listening. But of course I dont expect you to believe it just like that so lets all get up and go out to the field so I may show you in person what I mean."

Narrator: He then proceded to his desk which was at the right corner of the room across from the entrance. Thats when I noticed his weapon laying there in the corner bwhind the desk. A giant spiky reinforced hook that was mostly blood red colored but with a black color on the edge that went up but stopped at the hook's curve. He picked it up and went to the entrance to open the door while the students just sat in their seats watching him in cunfusion.

Xaxa: "Well? we dont have all day you guys switch to someone else when youre done with me."

Narrator: We all got up and went out of the room into the hall and waited for him to find the keys to that room as he had a lot of keys on him Thats when I was approached by a girl with purple hair.

Student C: (whispering) "Hey new kid"

Bell: "Uh...Bell..."

Narrator: The teacher finally locked the room and lead us down the halls of the school.

Student C: (stops wispering and speaks normally) "Yea sorry but I just had to ask, did you see or hear any...messages right before you ended up here?

Bell: ...dont think so, miss..."

Steph: "O-oh yea sorry my name is Stephanie but please call me Steph.

Bell: "Right...so why did you ask me about...messages?"

Steph: "Oh yea sorry but people that saw what they describe as "messages" seem to see things...differently kinda like dejavuu? no they make it sound more like a loop"

Bell: "...ok..."

Narrator: Just as I began feeling weirded out we finally reached the back entrance of the school. But when the teacher opened the door to go outside we were bombarded with a rotten overpowering smell that could only be compared to rotten flesh. And high in the sky was the sun but it was instead a very dark purple almost blending in with the black starless night-like sky with vein-like rays visibly flowing out of the sun.

Xaxa: "oh yea you might wanna get used to that"

Narrator: While the rest of the class was grossed out and shocked in fear for some reason I was instead filled with anticipation for the journey that awaited ahead.
