An Introvert Reincarnated As A Demon... What Could Go Wrong?!

Chapter 3- Death?

"Ha hah HAH! I knew you'd be getting into trouble early on but I didn't think you would die this quickly!!" A voice taunted from behind me. I quickly spun around, gaping at what I saw.

There was...

A boy?

He was about the same age as me, with white hair, the truly creepy thing was his eyes which were pitch black.

"W-who are y-you?" I questioned shakily.

"Well I guess you would know of me as the God Of Death? But I'm not too picky about the whole titles thing, I go by a lot of names, Grim Reaper, Death, Death God, Reaper. One time this one god just called me-"

"But why are you here, talking to me?! Am I actually dead?!" I said, having a feeling that this perso- god would go on for a while if I didn't interrupt.

"Well how rude! But hey I guess I chose you for some kind of reason...." He started muttering things under his breath.

"Chose? And why do you look my age?!" I was starting to get creeped out.

"Well you perceive me however you perceive me, I don't make the rules. Are there rules? I mean maybe... This realm seems to have the rule of blankness. Is blankness a rule? I wonder why I'm asking questions again? This is my realm.... Oh yeah! I totally forgot I just woke up from my nap a few days ago!" Man this guy... god could talk! How do other gods put up with this?

"How long have you been napping for things to end up like this?" I asked, I was quite curious after all, I mean what king of god is this guy, letting the afterlife get all boring.

"A few millennia or so... Then I woke up, and what's one of the first things I hear. Some new guy waltzing in and criticizing my realm!" He spoke loudly making random hand movements and gestures.

"Sorry about that-" I start to apologize.

"Oh no don't worry, I was about to destroy your soul or something but then I realized the state this place was in and thought, maybe this guy is right, so when that summoning circle came along I decided to send you and the other dude into it." He totally interrupted me... How fickle is this guy?! He was about to smite my soul then didn't because he agreed with me?!

"Oh! I should send you back now! I'm sure you don't want to hear me rambling, the other gods complain about that sometimes." He started chanting something in some weird language, the blackness started.... switching shades of black? I don't know how to describe it really. before it completely switch I heard the god once more. "See you around! Don't come back until next week. Maybe this place will be a little more visitor ready by then. Oh and I shouldn't forget I was supposed to warn you about-"

And then he was cut off, I'm starting to wonder if he was messing with me, or he actually wanted to tell me something. Hopefully not the latter. 

Everything suddenly got so loud.

My mouth is dry.

The blackness has faded into a new shade.

I try and pry open my eyes. It feels like I've slept for a really long time, keeping my eyes closed I move my hands to rub all the gunk out of them.

Now successful in opening my eyes I slowly staggered to my feet.

Pain.

There was pain in my chest, arms, and legs. Maybe that was where Ethan stabbed me? I'm not completely sure.

Thirsty.

I need to find some water, I must have been here at least a day or two.

I slowly stagger forward, everything around me seems amplified, and my back aches, I can hear leaves crunching under my feet. I could smell, it smelled like fresh water, a stream maybe? How can I even smell where a stream would be?
