Darkness.
Complete darkness.
Goji thought it was over.
His breathing had stopped.
His heart had given up.
But suddenly—
His eyes opened.
He gasped.
He wasn't dead.
At least… it didn't feel like death.
Everything around him was blurry.
A strange white mist surrounded him.
His body felt light.
Too light.
He looked at his hands.
They looked normal… but somehow transparent.
He looked at his feet.
They weren't touching the ground.
His heart started racing.
"Where… where am I?" he shouted.
His voice echoed in the emptiness.
No walls.
No sky.
No earth.
Just fog.
Panic consumed him.
He began screaming.
"Is anyone there?! Tell me where I am!"
Tears streamed down his face.
And then—
A voice echoed through the void.
Calm. Deep. Powerful.
"I am God."
Goji froze.
For a second, he was silent.
Then anger exploded inside him.
"You're God?" he shouted.
"I thought you didn't even exist!"
His voice trembled — not with fear, but with rage.
"You ruined my life!"
"You let people mock me… humiliate me…"
"You took my parents away before I could even grow up!"
"You took my job!"
"You took everything!"
"Did you ever feel bad watching me suffer?"
Silence filled the space.
Then the voice spoke again.
"What you lived… was the result of your past life's karma."
"It was a debt you had to repay."
"And now… that debt is complete."
The mist around him began to glow softly.
"Your new time begins now."
Goji's tears stopped.
