Ryan blacked out after getting hit. The last thing he remembered was pain and the feeling of getting ripped atom by atom. That's the end he thought waiting for him to fully lose consciousness. He heard screams and gasps around him, Then suddenly everything goes silent and the pain disappears.
Ryan opened his eyes. Everything was dark, the walls, the roof everything. No signs of human life.
"Am I dead?" He whispered to himself.
"I'm afraid not." A mysterious voice erupts from the silence. A voice of an old man.
"Are you a god?" Ryan asked still lying down afraid to make a move.
"I guess," The mysterious voice answered.
"So I'm really dead," Ryan said to himself.
"You're not dead," The mysterious voice assured him.
"Where are you?" Ryan said getting up on his feet.
A bright light bursts out from the centre of the room with ethereal music playing, An old man descends from nothingness covered in golden sparks wearing white robes with golden stars on them.
"Heck of an entrance huh?" Ryan says shading his eyes from the light.
"That's what I was going for," The old man said as he reached the ground. Light disperses from him illuminating the room. It's the temple from earlier.
"Wait...This place looks familiar" He said looking at the old man. "You look familiar," Ryan said startled.
Ryan thinks as he looked around for a moment.
"This is the Bald guy's temple!" He exclaimed. "Oh I'm sorry, I like your hairstyle" he apologised mockingly as he saw the old man standing next to him.
Ryan stares at him for a moment. "You were the old man with the coffee shop aren't you?" Ryan questioned the Man.
"I am, can we-"
"The coffee was really good. You should quit this god thing and open a coffee shop in the city" Ryan interrupted him.
"Yes thank you, Mr Trahan, but-"
"One second, you're telling me I'm not dead?" Ryan asked the Man
"Yes,"
"But you're a god," Ryan continued.
"Correct,"
"So if I'm here, meeting you, That means I'm dead!" Ryan panicked.
"For the last time Mr Trahan you're not dead can you please let me explain," The man said frustratedly
"Okay" Ryan calmed himself down.
"So-"
"Can I have a cup of coffee? Iced? Please?" Ryan asked.
The old man sighed. He holds out his hand and did some magic hand movements and boom a small tint of gold light appeared as it evaporated it left behind a brown cup with golden carvings.
The man hands over the cup to Ryan."fancy cup huh?"
"Thank you, Cheers," Ryan said sipping the coffee. "I preferred the machine version, but this is fine"
"How do you like Earth, Mr Trahan," The man asked.
"E-Earth?" Ryan stuttered. Ryan sips the coffee while trying to recollect everything.
"Yes,"
Ryan finally understands the seriousness of the situation.
"W-why was I on Earth?" Ryan asked.
"You wished for a change. So I gave it to you" The old man said.
"What? I asked you to change my lifestyle! Not my entire universe!" Ryan shouted.
"You should've been more specific," The man said.
Ryan takes a deep breath. "Okay, Take me back. I don't want to be here anymore, I'll go back to my old life," Ryan said.
"I'm afraid that's not possible," The man said calmly.
"Not possible? You dragged me into this mess!" Ryan said frustrated.
"You wished for this Mr Trahan," The man said with a tint of displeasure.
"Call me Ryan, please," Ryan said sitting down. "What do you mean you can't take me back? You're a freaking God!"
"My powers are limited, Ryan. 'If something screws up I can't do shit' I did leave warnings" The old man said as he walked across the room.
"Alright," Ryan sighed. "What should I do to go back?" Ryan asked.
"You'll have to slay-"
"No.No, Nope I'm not killing anyone or anything," Ryan said.
"Alright, I hope you enjoy your time on earth," The man said motioning his arm.
"No, No wait-wait" Ryan said as he rushed toward him. " Stop making gang signs,"
The old man drops the spell and crosses his arms waiting for Ryan to finish thinking.
"But I'm already dead on the Earth," Ryan said. "If you didn't notice I got squished by a truck"
"I did notice that. I can respawn you to Earth," The old man said calmly.
"You could resurrect dead people but can't get me back to my home planet? Makes sense" Ryan said sarcastically.
"You're a strangely dislikeable person,"
"Thank you," Ryan mumbled, "alright what's the thing I should fight?" Ryan asked.
"A Verechelen," The old man said.
"A very-what?" Ryan asked.
"Verechelen, Terrible monsters they are"
"Are the dragons?" Ryan questioned curiously.
"Yes? How did you know?" The man asked.
"I recognise that name from somewhere? What exactly do they do?"
"They can shape shift" the old man answered.
"Chuvash Dragons? Like Chuvash dragons?" Ryan asked alarmed.
"They're the same thing, Ryan, I'm surprised you know about them" The old man complimented
"I was a dragon fanatic, I also know that they have multiple heads, they could fly and roast you like a cob on a stick," Ryan concluded. "Aren't they mythical?" Ryan asked the man.
"I'm afraid they're not. I've seen it with my own eyes"
"I'm sorry I don't want to die by getting roasted like a chicken by some three-headed dragon," Ryan said.
"You're not gonna die" The old man assured him
"Thank you for having faith in me but I'm being serious, I have no chance of surviving on Earth and now you want me to slay a fucking dragon," Ryan said laughing nervously.
"You can't die!" The man said loudly.
"I-I what? can't die? I'm inevitable?" Ryan asked suspiciously.
"Yes, you'll respawn every time you die." The God said rolling his eyes.
A huge smile covers Ryan's face.
"Killing that dragon got much easier now," Ryan said smiling like a freak. "Alright arm me with some magical weapon shit and let's. get this over with," Ryan said excitedly.
The old man stares at Ryan in silence.
"You're not gonna give me anything are you?" Ryan assumed.
"Not really. I already gave you something" The man said as he gestured Ryan to check his pockets.
Ryan started checking his pockets.
Ryan laughs as he pulls out the contents of his pocket.
"A penny?" He said laughing hysterically "nice prank"'
"And your phone"
"Wh-" Ryan stuttered "How am I supposed to survive and slay a three-headed shapeshifting and fire-breathing dragon with just a penny?" Ryan asked spitefully.
"You asked me for an adventure, Ryan, You get an adventure," The old man said.
"I also asked you to not make me do anything dangerous that would kill me!" Ryan said.
"You can't die. Idiot" The old man said, "you said you wanted to be the main character in a video game, not some NPC?" The man continued
"I didn't ask for---This!" Ryan said snapped
"You should've been more specific"
Ryan calms himself down, "okay" Ryan sighs "how am I supposed to beat that darn dragon?"
