A/N: This is one of my first fanfictions and of-course I had to do it about my favourite anime KonoSuba! Any tips appreciated :D
"Haruto Tachibana... Welcome to the Great Beyond. I am the goddess Eris, and I will show you a new path. Your life in this world is over."
Upon hearing these words I look around only to findd myself in a bright white room. Everything happened so suddenly, there was a desk and a chair, like the ones you would often see in an office. And the person sat in the chair was the one notifying me that my life had ended.
If goddesses truly did exist, the person sat in-front of me was certainly worthy of that title. She wasn't just "cute" like the first girl you had a crush on, or an idol from a band. No human could match the beauty which was seated in-front of me.
She was clad in a billowing white feather dress, with long silver hair and alabaster skin. She couldn't have been any older than me, she could pass for even younger. The blue eyes of the goddess calling herself Eris looked at me with pity as I stood and stared at her.
As her words sank in, I realised I was dead.
As that thought wandered around in my mind and the only words I could muster escaped my mouth.
"Excuse me?"
The silver haired goddess looked at me with a confused expression placed upon her face which quickly turned to realisation of why I had asked that.
"If I may repeat myself, I was explaining how your life in your original world is over."
"I see, so what happens now? Do I get to go to heaven?"
"Normally we give you 2 choices, be reborn back into your world into a family of your choice, or be sent to heaven. If you choose the first choice we would have to rid you of your memories and you would live life as if you had never died in the first place. However, A world which I currently govern over is in crucial need for help against the evil Demon King, because of the Demon Kings influence almost all of the souls that have left that world do not want to be reborn into it, which is why we have started sending people from your world."
"So you want to send me to a world that currently in peril? Isn't that absurd? I mean I've never even been in a fist fight before and you want me to try and kill a Demon King?, no, no way, I choose to be reborn into a wealthy family back into my world!"
The goddess had a shocked face and looked at me as if I had sold my soul to the devil.
"You didn't-"
The goddess paused for a moment and took a deep breath regaining her composure.
"I didn't completely finish explaining what happens if you choose to go and help save that world from the Demon King, we, the gods of that world will grant you a special ability."
A special ability, this is starting to sound like something from an anime.
"What kind of special ability?"
"It can be anything from a cursed sword which only you can wield to being something as simple as having max stats."
This really is like an anime, or video game.
"Okay, so anything?"
"Yes, anything."
"Okay, I want to be a vampire."
"What?"
"A vampire, you know, those creatures that go around in the middle of the night and seduce people with their good looks so they can take a bite out of them."
"Alright, a-are you sure that's what you want?"
"Yes it is, could you possibly make it easier for me to live though, like not turn to ash in the sun? And also make it super easy for me to trick people into following me so I can suck their blood?"
"That should be possible."
"Alright that's what I want."
After I had chosen my so called ability, is becoming a vampire really an ability? Who cares. A blue light, which looked like a generic magic circle you would find in an anime such as Fairy Tail, appeared at my feet and started dragging me up into the air.
"Haruto Tachibana. I will now send you to this new world as a candidate to defeat the Demon King. When-soever you achieve this goal, you will receive a gift from the gods.
"A gift?" I asked.
"Yes. One commensurate with the worth of a world saved. The gods will grant you any one thing you should ask."
Score! If I defeat this Demon King or whatever I can get sent back to my world with my memories and ask to be rich for the rest of my life or something!
The goddess continued "Honoured hero! I pray for your success as the one candidate of many others who will defeat the Demon King! Now-go quickly!"
After the goddess' solemn invocation, I were enveloped in a brilliant light...
