My Godly Ascension

Rumble … Rumble On a stormy day, the sky was filled with dark clouds, Bolts of lightning raging between the clouds as it looked like the Greek gods were at war. On a lone pathway, a man who looked like he was in his late twenties stood there with his face between both of his knees and his hands clutching his head. If someone looked at him closely they would notice he had a pale face and a skinny body devoid of any blood that looked like he starved for weeks. With thick black hair reaching his shoulder and some part of it covering his eyes, he also had an overgrown beard that looked like it had not been shaved for a long time. Blood dripped from his eyebrows which had a deep cut, and the drops of blood flowing through his face mixed with rain eventually stained his white shirt.  Wahhh....waahhhh He glanced in the direction from where the sound was coming through his broken-rimmed glasses, the figure was blurry, and the man's blue eyes which were glancing towards the sound showed he had given up on living.  "There there my child… we will get home soon," a woman said, caring for a baby with a loving smile on her face while her husband held an umbrella protecting both of them from the heavy storm.  'Mom….Dad' Alex thought while he looked towards the sky with tears dripping from his eyes. He felt a sting in his heart when he remembered his dead parents. People just walked past him ignoring him like he was some ghost. There was no one to ease his pain, no one to say 'everything will be fine'. The rain washed away his tears along, though no one would care to notice. *Splash* The car which passed by bathed Alex with the dirty rainwater. He didn't care about anything at all as he was at the rock bottom of his life.  Alex looked across the road only to find an old lady sitting on the side of the road with her legs bleeding. Her dress was torn in multiple places. She didn't have anything to cover her wounds or protect her from the heavy rain.  *Splash* The same scene repeated and the lady was soaked in water as the car that passed drenched her with water.  Alex, without thinking, rushed to her aid. He picked her up in a princess carry which surprised the lady. He then took her to a nearby convenience store that had a short-extended roof, a perfect place to stop by during rains. He carefully put her down and looked at her bleeding legs which needed immediate first aid. "Are you hungry?" Alex asked the lady with a warm smile on his face. The lady nodded in reply. Alex went into the store and bought a blanket, warm clothes, some food and a First Aid Kit. He gave her the clothes first as she needed to change them because prolonged wearing those wet clothes will only affect her health. The lady tried but struggled to take off her clothes. "…May I help you?" Alex asked with the same loving smile to which the lady nodded. He helped her change the clothes while avoiding looking at her bare body, he then covered her with the blanket and gave her the food he brought to replenish her lost energy. "This may hurt a little, hold my hand in case you feel any pain" Alex then cleaned her wounds and applied the medicine on it. Alex finally looked at her face properly after dressing her wounds only to notice her teary eyes. Alex felt pain in his heart, he didn't know why but maybe it was because she reminded him a bit of his current helpless state and he knew how bad it would have been for her till now.  "Sorry… I should have been more careful." Alex said with a sad face while tears started dripping from the corner of his eyes. He felt as if he had hurt his own mother. The lady wiped his tears and shook her head. She was not in pain anymore and was feeling a lot better, she had no one to take care of her, not even her own children who abandoned her, but the one who came forward to help her was a stranger who was the same age as her son, and despite being not related with her in any way, he still did so much for her that she felt overwhelmed. She couldn't help but cry as she wasn't even able to thank him as no words came out and she has nothing to repay for his kindness. Alex sat next to her on the ground with a sad face "You remind me a lot of my mother, she was a caring and kind woman.… My dad was good too but he wore an expressionless face,  I thought he didn't care about us as he never showed his love for me and my mother directly, but he proved his love with his actions, typical father you know." Alex said while reminiscing his memories.  Mothers show their love and care for their sons while Fathers show their love for their daughters. This might be how society works In his opinion. But however, it might look like they love their children earnestly.  Alex's face turned pale the next moment as he was narrating his story "But I lost them both in a car accident while they were on a trip." Alex lost his parents when he was just fifteen.  "I was sad and depressed when they passed away. After the news of their death reached my relatives they visited me and comforted me. I was just a kid and was swayed away by such kindness but they had ulterior motives, I had inherited the Family business and property my parents left for me."  Alex's face turned red in anger "I trusted them but in the end, they betrayed me, they were only after the money. They asked me to sign some documents and I signed them as they said it was to improve the business, but later on, I came to know that they sold my Father's company and everything along with it." "They threw me out of my own house, the house where I spent my whole childhood, where me and my parents lived in." "Later on with the help of my Father's friends I completed my study and I worked very hard and joined a small company. I knew how to run a business since my father taught me about the basics. I helped the company grow."  Alex clenched his fist and his nails dug deep in his hand with blood dripping out "but another betrayal, the manager scammed lots of customers, robbed all of the money and ran away, the blame was put on me as my signatures were on most of the documents, no one believed me since I had no proof or witness." "I wanted to stay with my parents, live a normal and happy life but all I am left with now is pain and a huge debt which I cannot even pay even if I sold my organs." "Was it wrong to have a normal life?.… Was it wrong to trust people?.… Was it wrong for trying to climb the ladder again after being thrown down" All that Alex paid for showing his kindness was... 'BETRAYAL' The old lady held Alex's hand, leaned closer and kissed him on his forehead, she then placed his head on her shoulder and slowly stroked his hair. Alex stopped crying, he felt at ease, he felt a warmth that his heart was longing for….. He felt safe.  Time passed by and after a couple of minutes Alex slowly lifted his head and looked at the lady with a loving smile "Sorry for pestering you with my sad story, you must have a hard time too." Alex took the lady's hand and held it tight as if he found something precious and never wanted to let it go "....why don't you stay with me. I know I am asking for too much, but I promise I will take good care of you, I will love you like my own mother. So will you come with me please?" Small drops of misty water fell on Alex's hand,  The lady nodded her head with a large smile on her face, she couldn't have wished for something better than this in her entire life which was….. a loving son.  Alex carried the lady on his back while she was having a smile she never had in her entire life, a warmth she never felt before.  "Then let's go!" Alex said with a bright smile and started walking.  He saw the crossing signal green and began to cross the road.  Skkreechhh ….. a hard scratching sound was heard and the next moment something happened which he didn't expect at all.  Alex and the lady were on the road covered in a pool of blood around them. Alex was holding his life on a thread as he could feel his senses fusing off. He was hit by a truck which was probably being driven by a drunk driver. He could also hear the faint sound of people screaming nearby.  He then glanced towards the old lady he was with, Alex smiled as he saw the old lady smiling back at him even when she was at death's door. 'Looks like nothing good can happen to me.' 'The gods betrayed me this time huh.' 'Well, at least I had at least found something I was longing for before my death.' 'I guess this is it.'                              'THE END' A bright white flash of light suddenly blinded Alex and he was forced to close his eyes.   -------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: Hello Guys, Alucard here I am trying something new this time.  This will be the beginning of a New Journey with a RollerCoaster ride of our MC's life.  Enjoy the Novel as we will be having regular updates and you won't miss the fun.  I apologize if there were any mistakes as this is my First time writing a Novel...
