End And Start

I awoke to find myself in the dark. Pure darkness as deep outer space. Where am I? What happe-. I remembered where I had been before I wound up here; I had run across the street to save a woman from a speeding car. "Huh, I must be dead," I thought. The car must've hit me as I pushed her out of the way. "Well, at least she was a babe." I noticed the car was going to hit her because at the time I happened to be staring at her enormous rack.

I still had my memories from when I was alive. My name was Lucas and I was a 17-year-old high school dropout working at the local convenience store. I had one younger brother and was shunned by my parents for being a 'failure'. But now that I was dead that didn't matter anymore.

"I had died a hero's death! I must be In heaven!" I suddenly came to the realization. "JESUS? ARE YOU THERE? ITS LUCAS THE HERO." I tried to yell but it seemed like I wasn't able to. I looked down at my body. "HOLY SH*T WHERE IS MY BODY!?" I had no hands, no legs, no... "no way, this cannot be happening. Where... WHERE THE F*CK IS MY PENIS!?" I couldn't live without one! I needed it to jerk off! It was the only way to relieve my stress! It was the only thing in the world that gave me joy! I would have started crying if I had eyes to cry out of. "THIS MUST BE HELL! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, GOD?!"

Suddenly a light flicked on. A girl sat in front of me, sitting on a chair facing away from her room. "What the hell? ... Um hello?" I tried to speak to her but she continued staring straight at me as if looking through me. She had a big smile on her face and looked extremely excited. She was probably a couple of years younger than I was but... Damn, she was cute.

There was suddenly a ring of a cell phone and the girl reached into her pocket and answered her call.

"Heyy Steph! ... Yeah, I just got it, it's the brand new one from that new company that just got popular... Yeah, I'll be online in a second I just have to do the setup and stuff... Ok, I'll talk to you later, byeee."

She hung up and grabbed the controller sitting on her desk. She pressed a few buttons and a screen immediately came into my view, but I wasn't seeing it in front of me, it was almost like it was in my mind. The screen read 'Please Name Your Console'.

"Huh, a name? That's kinda weird," she said with a puzzled expression. "Oh well," she shrugged and started typing. She pointed straight at me and narrowed her eyebrows, "Ha-Ha, henceforth you shall be known as... ELIAS, KING OF MY DESK!"

"Pffft, what kind of name was 'Elias'," I tried to laugh. "Wait... why am I in a girl's room? And why can't she see me?" I started questioning my existence. A robotic sounding voice echoed throughout my head, "Welcome 'Elias', you have been tasked with the protection of miss 'Zoe Acosta'. If any harm befalls her, you will be accountable and will thus be deleted from this world. Please use any means necessary. If you have questions, please ask."

"Are you talking to me?" I thought.

"Yes. You are formerly known as 'Lucas the loser' but will now be known as 'Elias King of Miss Zoe's desk'.

"hold on, you can read my thoughts?"

"Yes. Your memories and thoughts are all stored within this program," The voice responded.

"Ok, where am I and why am I here?"

"You have been given a second chance at life. You are currently inside of Miss Zoe's recently purchased gaming system. However, your only objective is to protect Miss Zoe."

"Why?" I asked.

"Miss Zoe is the daughter and successor to the Acosta family. Her innocence has been judged and you are here to ensure she does not meet an untimely end."

"What did you mean by 'inside a gaming system'?" I was massively confused.

"Your soul as well as your consciousness are within the gaming system. However, you have been granted the ability to transfer your consciousness between devices owned by Miss Zoe in order to stay by her side at all times. You have also been granted the ability to possess any human within the radius for a very brief amount of time."

"Holy sh*t."

"If you would like to view the live camera on Zoe's monitor, you must say 'User command/ monitor-camera'. I will answer more questions after the setup process is completed. Goodbye," The voice disappeared after dumping all of that information on me.

In the meantime, Zoe, as the voice called her, was creating an avatar for 'Elias', which I guess was now me. She made him look as lean and athletic as possible with a sharp jaw and high cheekbones. She also gave him cerulean colored eyes and white hair. "WHITE HAIR? ISN'T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE ME?" I groaned and continued to watch her dress my avatar. She gave him a short, grey hooded tunic with black pants and boots.

"He's so handsome," Zoe said putting her hands on her cheeks, "I wish I could meet someone like him in real life."

She pressed 'finished' and I was instantly transformed into the avatar that was created for me. I could touch and speak. But I was still standing in darkness. She then installed a game called 'The Fairy Kingdom'. Data of the game flowed through my mind; I instantly learned how many players it had and every hidden treasure, every attack combination, and every fact about the game. I came to a realization, "This game is Sh*t."

Zoe pressed the 'start' button and the world around me changed; I was standing in a town square surrounded by markets, people strolled all around me, purchasing items. My avatar had also changed, I glanced down and gawked at the two fun bags that we're hanging from my chest. The two things that I had always wanted to squeeze more than anything in the world. I was a woman. "OH YES!" I brought my two hands up and cupped each of them carefully, I then squeezed as hard as I could, "OW!"

"What are you doing Zoe?"

I froze. I looked up to see another smoking hot fairy standing in front of me. I tried to speak, but a warning flashed in front of me, 'speaking in-game is prohibited'.

"What do you mean Steph?" I heard Zoe's voice in my head.

"Haha nevermind, it must be a new animation."

I then started slowly walking forward, but I wasn't the one doing it. My legs were moving on their own. I started to panic but remembered what the voice had told me earlier, "User command/ monitor-camera," I thought the words in my head. My view immediately shifted to Zoe. She had a controller in her hand and was speaking through a headset. Zoe was controlling me. I saw a small window in the top right of my vision I focused on it and was transported back into the in-game town. "This is f*cking AWESOME!"
