《Selfishness can be so rewarding》Prologue : THE weirdly selfish man

Prologue
If you asked anyone that knew him,they would tell you that Nox Michael is the most selfless guy in the world.They would say that everytime they saw him he was busy helping someone.On top of that he was above average looking,smart and good at sport so to everyone he was a good exemple of what a human should be.
If you asked Nox himself,he would be humble and unwilling to acknowledge his good deeds.But that was not real.He was actually the most selfish person around.Oh,he did all those things but his only objective was having a better life.
His mother died when he was less than one year old.So he grew up with his father,he had no other family since his parents had no siblings and his grandparents all died.He admired his father,he was a police officer and a truly great person.His father lived by one rule,one motto until the day he died : «Men who do good things get good things».
When his father died,when Nox was ten,Nox was taken in by his father's best friend.He then decided to live by the same rule as his father.But what he undestood is that if he wanted good things he needed to do good things.
Helping people was a good thing,so he did it though he didn't care about them.
Studying was a good thing,so he did it to get a better job and then money.
Exercising was a good thing,so he did it to live longer and look better.
And it worked,now in college,he had friends,a girlfriend,a hobby that was anime and xianxia,quite some money from gifts or jobs and just generally a good life.He loved being selfish.

Today he was out jogging when he saw a kid,about 12,crossing the road.The problem was the speeding truck driving straight to him.Most people would be shocked or afraid but Nox was different,he was happy.He threw himself and pushed the kid out of way,placing himself in front of the truck.All he could think was :
« YESSSSS !!!Sacrificing myself to save a kid,that's like winning the lottery for good karma.Heaven here I come! »
Just as he finished his thought the truck hit him.He was sent flying for a good 5 meters,his body hurt like hell,after a few moments he got numb and couldn't feel the pain.After a couple seconds he heard what he thought was the kid he saved.He couldn't open his eyes and he could barely hear anything,yet for some reason he could hear the kid perfectly.
« Mister!Mister!Are you okay!? »Then again the brat was shouting right in his ear.
« Jesus.........christ.........kid........stop......shouting. »He somehow managed to say. « and........i'm » Cough Cough« fucking.........dandy. »
The blood that was forming a puddle below him,was proof enough of his status.Though the bones sticking out too.
« Heaven better not dissapoint.At this point i have a fucking bullet train to it,but just to make sure. »
« Hey kid......do me.........a favor............do something good.........in your life. »
That was Nox Michael's last words.
The kid tried to wake Nox up,but it was useless.So with tears running he promised.
« I will do something so great mister!I promise. »
When Nox came to he was sitting in a chair,in a white room that only contained a table and two chairs,his and the one on the other side of the table.

He couldn't move for some reason.So after looking around he called out.
« Hello!!!!!???? »
« Hello. »
« Wha!! »
He didn't expect an immediate answer,much less one coming from the chair that was empty the moment before.But now there was.......someone.........something in it .It had the shape of a human but it was just white,like pure white that should hurt when looked at directly,yet it didn't.
« Heuuuu, who are you?And where is this? »
« Hi!Nice to meet you i'm god. »
« Oh ok.Nice to meet you I'm Nox. »
The entity,which was god apparently,tilted it's....his head to the side in a position that suggested curiosity.
« Hard to see really. »Nox thought
« So you're just going to accept that huh? »

Author's note :
Hi to anyone that's reading.I'm thenagain and this is my first story.To be honest this is more to learn so this is going to be a lighthearted story with lots of cliches.Sorry about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .Also english isn't my first language nor my second,soooo yeah.
Feel free to criticize,compliment or even flame.As I said i'm doing this to learn.
I can promise 2 chapters per week for now sometimes more.Of course if there isn't a problem.The chapters should be around 1500 words
(The prologue is shorter).
Anyway this next part is kinda spoiler so skip it if you want,this is just to tell you what you can expect to not waste your time for 10 chapters I had it happen to me before and it was annoying.
You can expect : Truly op mc,harem(4women),powers from different animes for the mc,lots of cliches and generally just the mc having fun (BTW the mc is based on one of my best friends).So anyway hope you stick around.Ciao

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

One fine day, lordol have a dream on preregistered of the certain event, on the next day, he suddenly noticed that his world took a drastic change.

8 159BLOODTHIRSTY
He was a sinner even before he was born. A sin that he couldn't be forgiven for. A sin he couldn't be held accountable for. No matter how hard his parents begged, no matter how hard they tried to keep their son safe. Their only option was to hide him. In the process not knowing what kind of monster they had created. They had no idea what kind of evil he held within him. On top of that he realised that a mere human was his only way to sanity. -- "I expected you to run human? Or hear you scream. Why aren't you running?" The smile got replaced with a frown. He looked disappointed. "Why aren't you screaming human?" His eyes turned black and he looked more terrifying than he did before."Y-you won't hurt me."The story is completely made up, the angels and the demons are not the same as in other religions. I have made up a whole different story about the Gods in this book. So be aware.

8 350Heroes: Book III
Without any warning we were there, staring at the dark and pain of the world. I could sense it all. All the black matter consuming humanity. But for some odd reason I wasn't afraid. He just laced his fingers with mine and looked at me in a way that made it all okay. And then we ran into the shadows. ...because I guess that's just what heroes do.
