“MISSILE INCOMING” (sailor)
I dive to the deck of the ship to prepare for impact.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
Kaboom.
Before the missile impacts, the CIWS shoots it down. Getting up I run across the deck to the bridge holding the message I need to deliver. The communications from the radio room to the bridge have been broken.
After climbing up the stairs of the superstructure I enter the bridge.
“Captain I have a message from the admiral.”(protagonist)
“Bring it here.”(Captain)
I walk over to the captain and hand it to him.
“Thank you, now get back to your post.”(Captain)
“Yes sir”(Protagonist)
After saluting, I ran out of the bridge and down the superstructure back to my position. I am about to go under the deck when there is an explosion on the starboard side of the ship knocking me off my feet. As I am getting up there is another explosion this causes me to fall overboard.
SPLASH
“MAN OVERBOARD”(sailor)
I’m sinking. I can't swim I think the explosion broke my arm and leg.
So this is how I die.
I could have died of old age with the one I love. Or I could have died heroically in battle. Instead, I drown.
Minutes go by and I can no longer breathe. I continue to sink.
A few more minutes go by and everything goes black.
I am still conscious? Didn’t I die?
An unknown amount of time passes. Eventually, I start to see light.
In front of me is a bright light with the faint outline of a person in the centre.
“Hello my name is Ziella and I am a goddess.”(Ziella)
“Hello goddess Ziella.”(Protagonist)
“You sound very calm for someone who just died.”(Ziella)
“Well I can't do much about it can I. I also didn’t have any friends or family who are alive who are waiting for me to return.”(Protagonist)
“Well I can do something. I am going to give you the chance at a second life. I ask you to help me.”(Ziella)
“What do I have to do?”(Protagonist)
“You see I am a new goddess and I am creating my first world. I can't look after the entire thing myself I need some help. This is where you come in I want you to become the goddess of the sea. It will be your job to protect the sea and also oversee the magic element of water. You will have full control over who can use the water element. You will also be the second oldest of four sisters. The oldest being me and then two younger than you.”(Ziella)
“Why did you choose me?”(protagonist)
“I needed someone who has a connection to the sea and also preferably someone who did either in the sea or the death was caused by the sea or at least water. You lived by the sea you often visited the sea and you were in the Royal Navy. You were also the last person in the entire universe to die in the sea when I summoned you. Now, will you accept?”(Ziella
After thinking about it for a while I make a decision.
“I will accept your offer goddess Ziella.”(Protagonist)
“Excellent and please call me Ziella or big sister.”(Ziella)
As she says this her form becomes clearer. She looks like she is in her twenties. She has long golden hair and bright golden eyes. She is about 6 foot tall and is wearing long white and silver dress.
“I can see you now.”(Protagonist)
“Of course you can you are no longer mortal. You are now the goddess of the sea and my little sister. Now we should get you into your new body before we run out of time. Have fun and work hard in your new life. Also if you need help or you want to talk to someone you can always come to me just think about talking to me and I will respond.”(Ziella)
“I will big sister”(Protagonist)
Once again everything goes dark.
After an indeterminate amount of time, I awaken once again in my new life.
Sooo... We have a protagonist that doesn't feel nothing , by the way he accepted death,a goddess,a new massive role without nothing explained about it and his change of sex. The reason for the choice of Ziella is REALLY half-baked. Take the last person that has died in the universe in the water and has a "connection" with the sea. So why not take someone that already has experience in controlling water, a domain over it. Or just the right sex. Take ,for example, a being several hundreds or thousands years old... you don't have the power? Try with a mermaid or a Triton. There so many better choices...
How do we know it's a man again?
@NatureHawk13 I haven't mentioned it. I leave it up to the reader to Interpret it how they like.
It got me
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
“Well I can't do much about it can I. I also didn’t have any friends or family who are alive who are waiting for me to return.”(Protagonist)
How about instead of this cliche, the protagonist says something along the lines of "I was in the military (perhaps in a war or something, considering the attack), I knew that there was always the possibility of my death."
Now obviously being in the military doesn't always mean someone is going to always readily accept death, but it's a lot better than the usual cliche of no friends or family and does help explain some of his lack of reaction
Flow is a little rough but has potential overall
Thank you
Let them join the navy but can’t swim lol what a joke
They had bones broken from the explosion and also the uniform is most likely heavy from the water.
@Kraken1 Heh, weakling, real navy people can swim alone just with their tongue, nose and ears! Who needs arms or legs!
Pathetic!
Cookie?
@Nykuro I take cookie
pretty rough
death by A-10?
It could be. It can be any ship or aircraft that has anti ship missiles.
@Kraken1 haha im only saying it because it's a meme that the a-10 guns make the "Brrrrrrt" sound
@MonolithWorld Thats the CIWS shooting down the incoming missile. The only problem with using any type of mini gun or gatling cannon is that everyone assumes the onamatopeia for it is an A10.
@Kraken1 Was definitely an accurate choice for the CIWS. Of course, by the time you've sounded that out in your head, it's already gone through 200+ rounds..
