Why do I exist? What’s my purpose? Why do I always feel empty? Am I real?...

Kage, Kage! Wake up!

Huh?

What the hell?

Sara!? Mikey!? Anyone!? Kage cried as he frantically started searching all the rooms in his orphanage, blood stains covered all the walls and floors the bright red glistening under the moonlight.

“What happened here, where is everyone?”

“It’s coming from the back.”

As Kage crept up to the end filled with dismay and curiosity he opened the door

“OH, your finally awake”

“Who are….”

Before Kage could finish speaking his eyesight drew towards the grinding sound, the bodies of his friends, his only family the people who made him feel alone, being slowly grinded into a bloody mass of flesh.

“Why”, Kage stuttered as tears flowed down his cheeks.

“Is, this a nightmare!?”

“Yes” said the mysterious figure.

“it’s the nightmare known as life, and I’m afraid for you its about to come to end.” “Why! What did I do to deserve this” cried Kage?

“It’s not what you did it’s what must be done, you are nothing and never will be anything your only purpose is to die.”

“I don’t care, kill me! who said I wanted to live after this, everyone I care about is gone” Kage cried.

“You misunderstand me You will not be killed by my hands”,

“Then why what did my family do to you”,

“Nothing I only needed to get rid of your only attachment to this world so that I could send you back to where you came.”

“Why who sent you who am I!”

“Your gonna have to ask him when you get there.”

Who!?

“God.”

……

…...

“Cutttt!

Hold on,

Why are they saying my name?

And who the hell are Sara and Mikey?”

“I think that’s just a glitch in the memories to be honest, because I was a part of you for son long I kinda forgot my name,”

“Hmm that makes sense guess,

Did you avenge your friends though?”

“I died bro… do you think I got the chance?”

“Well sorry for asking…”

(Sheesh)

….

It’s been sometime since I released all my memories,

(Still kinda remember almost all of it though)

Most of the soul disappeared returning to nothing, or maybe the universe itself

Not even I know for sure,

But there were some that actually stayed back,

(Probably because they’re still attached to me or something)

“This beach scenery is cool, don’t change it yet Kage

Also, what are you going to do about that future where everything including us stops existing?”

“hmmm

I don’t know never thought about yet, not really a fan of watching the future,

It spoils the whole point of life,”

“Ight bro so you just gonna let us all go to shit after everything, they’re probably new people dying as we speak,

I was thinking if we make this place heaven for real like in the books

And you make me the one–“

Nope,

This isn’t a dictatorship, or democracy,

But what you said about people dying maybe truee…

Here what, I’ll take a peep as to what’s going to happen in the future, from where I last left,”

(I think it was when that crazy supreme leader combined the rings right….)

“Just a peep

Depending on what happens I may or may not step in”

“I thought you were going to leave the fate of humans up to themselves?”

“I am

But the world hasn’t yet seen this me,

The new Kage, it would be a shame if I—”

“—Aye,

New Kage!”

Another voice calls to me,

(Huh, that sounds familiar)

“This place is annoying to navigate you know,

One second I died then I was here,”

“……”

(You, guys)

“Kage?

Are you going to say something or just keep staring like that?”
