After the Strange phenomenon that happened minutes ago, Aishat got home safely along with her remaining friends (Mohammad and Aliyat). Aishat was still in shock after seeing what happened to Chinedu during the strange phenomenon. It kept on playing in her head repeatedly like a song on repeat.
Her mother tried to console her after learning what happened from her friends, the consoles couldn't erase the scream she heard, the flesh ripping she saw, the blood spreading across the road.
Aishat couldn't sleep throughout the night.
**Two Days Later**
In a messy room, a female figure with unkept hair looking rough with heavy black bags beneath her bloodshot eyes drained of tears.
Aishat, your friends are here to see you." Aishat's mother said behind her daughter's door.
"She still doesn't talk to anyone nor has she eaten since the incident."
"Mom Aishat, don't worry we will get her to come out of her room today. Put your mind at rest ma." Aliyat replied.
"Walai, Mama Aishat, we go follow her talk make she come out" Mohammad added.
Aishat's mother smiled and left.
"Hey, Aishat it's us Aliyat and Mohammad"
Immediately Aishat heard her friend's voice, she sprang up from her misery and opened the door in a flash.
"Baby girl, you are looking….". Aishat didn't let her friend complete her sentence when she hugged her tightly and began to cry once again.
"C'mon girl, stop crying, I know Chinedu's death was brutal and sad. None of us would pray such for an enemy or even a friend." Aliyat said while using her hands to dry her bestie's tears.
" Aishat, I know say you strong past this one. No kill yourself abeg eh. Chinedu no go like see you like this. May his soul rest in peace. Tears can't bring him back from the dead". Mohammad added to what Aliyat said.
"You have to eat else you will die from hunger and your parents will lose you. You are their only child, remember that." Aliyat said not to allow Aishat to say a word.
She dragged her to the bathroom….
**Many Hours Later**
8:15 PM
Sounds of laughter could be heard from a room. Aishat had regained a bit of her old self.
"Whoa, time haflflownteady. I have to leave now before my parents come back from work. I hope they haven't gotten home before me." Aliyat said while standing to take her leave sane as Mohammad.
"Thank you guys for coming today, thank you so much. I love you guys." Aishat said HuHuhuggintheheheng, The earth trembled a bit, then ceased.
"Huh, what is happening?"
"I don't know, I think it's an earthquake."
"Earthquake in Nigeria, impossible."
The ground started to rip apart, right before their eyes, now fear had a grip on them. The three friends tried to run out of the room but Earth was cruel as it shook and ripped more of the ground and the houses started collapsing bit by bit.
"Haaaaaaah!!!, the girls screamed but Mohammad held them tight so they wouldn't fall into the ripped earth. They managed to move out of the room with slight injuries.
Coming out of the room, twenty feet away was the corpse of Aishat's Parents buried part of the collapsed building, the three friends paused in shock.
Aishat started quivering, her eyes were glued to the corpses of her beloved parents. Her father's head was crushed, his brains scattered across the floor, and her mother was fully covered with a huge part of the building.
Mohammad quickly snapped out of his gaze and tried to carry Aishat and Aliyat at the same time. Of Course, Mohammad has a huge body frame and he had the strength to carry them both.
In the course of trying to lift them, the earth trembled again, and the quakes were worse this time.. He had a nasty fall.
He stood up fast despite his injuries. He lifted Aishat and as he turned to lift Aliyat back. It was too late, as Aliyat's head had plunged into an iron rod.
The rod went from her chin up to her skull, blood oozing out slowly from her chin and the top of her head.
Having no time to mourn the dead, He kept on looking for ways to survive this earthquake with Aishat on his shoulder. Little did they know what awaited them.
Mohammad finally created a pathway for both of them to pass through. The earthquakes stopped, so they were able to create a pass to leave the rumbling of the house.
Finally coming out through the ruins, they could see firefighters and police officers outside.
They were both exhausted, and they screamed for help until the police saw them. Little did they know death was behind them. [Author laughs]
Suddenly, an electronic pole that was behind them had bent due to the earthquake earlier now it was falling with electricity on it.
Mohammad tried pushing Aishat away from him but he was too late as it fell on them both causing brain matter to splash everywhere, their blood was oozing out and getting dried from their dead bodies as it became darker.
The people around fled for their lives as they fell, killing officers and a few onlookers who were at close range.

"Huh, What is this?"
"Why am I falling?"
"I can't feel my body, I can't hear anything, I can't feel anything"
"Why am I still falling?"
"Am I dead? , No I'm...…. I can't remember anything"
Suddenly bright light shone from above like God about to talk to humans from heaven.
"You are dead", the voice from the light said.
"Dead….what do you mean dead?."
"Like dead dead, in human terms umm, you are late, you passed on." The voice said again
"What, how?, I can't remember anything" the celestial body falling said.
Tired of the dumb questions, the voice from above snapped its fingers and appeared in a white room filled with clouds or fog. The falling celestial body also appeared along with a voice from the bright light.
"I remember now, I remember everything". The former celestial body said while in tears.
"Yawwwwn….took you long enough," the bright light said.
"How am I still alive?, Where am I?" Aishat asked.
"Ughh, why are you humans so dumb?. I told you earlier you are dead, fucking dead b*tch!!. The bright light replied in an annoyed tone.
"I see, I'm dead so are my friends and parents. How come they are not here?, Isn't this the afterlife?.
"Your parents and friends aren't here because they are in the afterlife serving their time, wherever I don't know. Don't ask me." The voice said while transforming its light into a feminine figure.
The Light had a curvaceous body, brown skin, and long white hair. Her body was concealed by the white silk gown covering her feet with golden lines at the waist.
"What's your name and who are you?" Aishat asked
"First of all, I am a God, or rather a Goddess. Secondly, I go by many names but you can call me 'Shekai'. Shekai said with a calm smile on her face.
"Shekai, why am I here?. Aishat asked another question.
"You are getting an Isekai"
"Huh, Isekai. What's that?." Aishat asked confused.
"Don't you know anything, you vile creature?, You would be reincarnated to another world not as your being but another, Goddess Shekai told her annoyed.
"Why would I, why would I be chosen to be reincarnated into another world. I lost my family and my best friends now I'm about to be reincarnated into a world I don't know about." Aishat replied.
"You will be the Villain of this story, you have the potential."
"Villain, why can't I be the hero," Aishat asked with a confused expression.
"You vile creatures know nothing, everyone wants to be the hero. No one wants to be the villain because they are bad, have you ever wondered why the villain became a villain? Nevertheless, you would be the villain as I have said and there is no changing it."
"I would not be the Vill….." Aishat's words were slashed before they could be completed.
"Your Loved ones' extinction was caused by me," Shekai said with a poker face.
"WHAT? Aishat screamed out. "You mean you killed my parents and friends, now you want to be the villain of a world I don't know about. Aishat was filled with rage as the words came out of her.
"That's the spirit," Shekai said and smirked.
"You have to leave for your new world now, it's just a parallel world of your former world. Nothing is the same and you won't have the same body you have now." "
*When next I see you. I swear, I would kill you." Aishat promised.
"I knew I picked the right candidate," Shekai said with the light smirk still on her face. "Go now, would look forward to my death" Her voice crackled giving a weird kind of laughter then she snapped her fingers.
"But…" Aishat's words were once slashed short by an unexpected blackout.
