It was dark and cold in this place where no light can even penetrate. But in this world or maybe a place that shrouded in darkness, there are a lone figure of boy floating around this dark void.
"How long has it been?" He asked himself, he has lost count of how long he has been trapped here.
He can't remember anything about himself nor he remember how end up here. Somehow, he don't care.
To him, his life now is so dull to the point he see everything as meaningless include of him attempt to escape from this place.
"Regardless, I maybe should try to at least wish to escape from this place" He said, nonchalantly wishing despite he never care at all.
But wish still a wish, and it must be granted no matter what.
As he closed his eyes trying to sleep which questionable of how he did it, he feel a swift movement of himself. The moment he opened his eyes, he noticed himself in a complete new place which... not that different then the place before.
"Wao, this is so unsurprising." He said, nonchalantly while looking at the surrounding.
The place he end up is by all mean is a barren wasteland, with rocky terrain and have a mist that possibly never gonna disappear anytime soon. He even bet that this place never received any sunlight as how barren it was.
Regardless, he has arrived here and so why not walk around to see what this place has to offer. As he walked around, he somehow can feel someone or something was watching him from every direction.
Out of nowhere, he feel something coming toward him as he instinctively dodge it. The thing crash on his previous spot as he look at what attack him.
"That is..." He said, as he somehow recognized the thing that attack him.
"A Demon" He said, looking at the creature who ferociously looking at him.
"Roar!!!" It roar at him as he look at it with blank eyes. It rush toward him as he don't has time to react only to get swiftly swat away by the Demon.
He crashed into the rock nearby as he feel almost every bones in him are break. It's hurt that for sure. He sprawled into the ground as he watched the Demon slowly walking to him.
'Look like I'm gonna die here, huh?' He thought, still nonchalantly as he feel his life has no meaning from the very beginning.
To find himself trapped in a dark place all by himself, with no memories about his past and only to died after finally managed to escape from that place by unknown mean. His life truly has no meaning.
"What a shitty life I have" He said, as he looked at the towering Demon in front of him who about to kill and maybe eat him.
The Demon lift it's foot and bring it down as everything goes dark once again, darkness that always accompanied him like his own shadow.
"Where am I"
If he had to describe the place he was in, it was completely opposite of his usual dark place where no light can even enter. This place is purely white as it was the darkness itself that can't enter. How unsurprisingly.
"Thankfully I managed to save you from death though"
He turned around at the unfamiliar voice.
"Who are you?" He asked, looking at the being who sitting in front of him
"Well, I am one who you can refer as God if you want though" The being now known as God said.

"Wa, who thought I will meet God." He said, nonchalantly again. He surely don't care who he talk is he?
"Hahahaha! You surely something to talk casually with God are you?" The God said, laughing for his casual behavior of talking.
"So what?" He still with his nonchalant self, looking at God with blank eyes.
The God see this can't help but shook his head and smile helplessly as how nonchalantly this boy in front of him was.
"Regardless, I think we can straight to the point, no?." The God said, looking at the boy.
The boy only nodded his head.
"Good! As I am aware, you has many questions in mind, no?"
".... Yes, I has many questions I want you answer." He said, looking at the God.
"Ask and I'll answer it" the God replied.
"Why I end up there? Why I can't remember anything about my self? And why I then find in that place?" He asked.
"Well, to answer your first question, the reason you end up in that is place is due to something you did in the past."
"My past?" He asked.
"Yes, your past self. You by all mean is a blank slate, some who don't do any Virtues or even Sins. This make the Angel of Death confused weither to send you to Heaven or Hell, but end up decided to put you there."
"So, it Angel of Death's fault then" He asked, nonchalant as before.
"Yes." The God replied, but inside he apologize to Angel of Death as he know that he only do his job of guiding the soul.
"For your second question of why you can't remember anything is because after people died, all they memories will be wipe out except they Virtues and Sins of course."
"I see." The boy nodded his head, understanding his situation.
"And for the third question, I decided to send you there after hear your wish to escape from that place." The God answer the last question.
"But you end up mess up as I almost died second time due to a Demon" The boy said, staring at the God.
"But you still alive right?" The God replied as the boy don't know how to reply back.
"Now, I believe everything has been answer." The God said.
"Yes, but what now? What will happen to me?" The boy asked, looking at the God which the God look back.
"Hmm" The God put his hand on his chin, thinking of what to do with the boy. He suddenly get an idea and decided.
"Tell me, how about you become my Shadow" The God asked.
".... Your what?" The boy asked back.
