-------
Do you ever wonder where the soul of our body will go after death?
Some may say to heaven or hell, or you will just cease to exist after death.
But what if you die after a truck crushes your body to oblivion?
Well, I guess I can answer that question.
After a truck hit me and felt almost all of my bones getting crushed and felt the most painful thing I ever felt besides hitting my toe on an edge of a table or stepping on a lego.
*shivers*
I black out for a few seconds and then I regain consciousness and now here I am in a weird white space with a weird old man wearing weird clothes and staring at me with a weird expression plastered on his weird old face.
What a weird old guy...
"You realize that I can read your mind right?" Said the old man with his long-ass beard that almost reached the ground.
Hey! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt other people's inner monologue?
And to answer your question...
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
The old man just stared at me with a blank expression on his face and I just stared back at him.
1 second
2 seconds

10 seconds
Are you really just going to stare at me? Because I will not be the one who will break this awkward staring contest.
*sighs*
The old man let out a long sigh. A sigh that was full of tiredness and despair. A sigh that shows his loneliness for an unknown amount of time. A sigh that one can feel he has resigned to his fate. A sigh that-
"Oh, higher BOSS, why me?" The old man said with a listless voice.
"Sooo, why I am here dear sir?" I said with a respectful voice and saw the old man's lips twitch in irritation? Probably just tired or something. Oh, it twitches again!
"*sigh* you know what? Let's...let's just continue so we can end this meeting as fast as possible." Said the old man.
'...and so I can also send my resignation paper. I'm not getting paid enough for this shitty job.' Added the old man in his mind.
I see the old man straighten his back and make a serious expression to look more dignified? I don't know bro what is going on in his mind.
The old man stopped reading the mind of the human in front of him or else he might go crazy and decided to finish this as fast as possible.
"You died-"
"Yes." I said
"..."
"..."
The old man took another deep breath to calm himself down.
'Oh, higher BOSS, please give me strength and patience to help me endure this almost intolerable human in front of me for I am almost at the limit of my patience and will not be able to stop myself to slap her using my ultimate technique [Heaven and Earth Destructing palm of Creation that can distort Space and disrupt Time] and send her flying to 9 heavens.' The old man prayed to his heart...
"You died by the hands of truck-sama and will be able to reincarnate in another world with wishes." Said the old man after calming himself.
"Wait, truck-kun is real?" I asked in surprise.
"Always has been." Replied the old man.
"I see...so what's the payment for the wishes?" After all, it is too good of an offer to be free without any kind of payment.
The old man secretly praises the young woman in his mind. 'well at least she is not completely stupid, unlike the humans before her.'
"An exchange for anything you have. For example, the ability to fly but you will lose an arm, leg, sight, or emotion." He slowly said making sure the young woman in front of him will not miss a word he says.
"So an equivalent exchange?" I questioned.
"You can't really call it an " equivalent exchange" because you will only lose an arm or leg to be able to fly." The old man shrugged his shoulders replying to my question.
"I see..."
.
.
.
After a while.
"I have decided," the young woman said to the old man.
The old man just beckons with his hands telling her to continue.
"I wish to have the power of the protagonist in the light novel of "I Survive in this World Through Cut & Paste"." She said with a serious expression but one can see excitement hidden in her eyes.
"Also can I decide what to "pay"?" She added.
The old man's eyebrow rose upon hearing her wish and question.
"Sure."
'Yes!' The young woman celebrated in her mind hearing his answer. "Then I will be a duck."
"Huh?" The old man showed a surprised face upon hearing what she said.
"I want to be a Very.Cute.Duck." The young woman said with a firm voice making sure the old man clearly hear her words.
"What do you want to- you know what? Fine. Do you want to be a cute duck? Then I will turn you into a cute duck along with your wish." The old man was about to ask why she want to be a such thing but stopped himself from asking more questions so he can end this meeting and finally send his resignation letter to his BOSS.
He waved his hand and a portal appeared behind the young woman's back.
"Wha-?!"
She isn't able to react before she got sucked by the portal.

The old man stood there watching the girl getting sucked by the portal and finally closing.
After a while, a smirk appeared on his old face.
"Heh, if she thinks turning into a duck is enough as a "payment" then she is in for a surprise." The old man said in no one in particular.
"Well, I just hope she didn't die after arriving, or else I will not be able to resign from this job." Said the old man and then left the white space.
(End)
