A lone man was lying down on the floor in an empty space, alone, has brown hair, dark hazel eyes and about 6.3 ft.
A few moments pass and before the man starts waking up.
"Huh...Where is this place? How did I get here? It doesn't look like a hospital or any other kind of Medical care centre" the man thought before he decided to start standing up.
"Alright, let's start from what I can remember about myself and see if I can remember how I got here; I was walking home from a party a co-worker put together, drank some beer, played some games, talked to some girls, said a few jokes and left with a beer in hand, It was dark by the time I let so I decided to take a short cut through the park, sat at a bench, started to day dream with my beer in hand, or what's left of it, heard a loud bang, fell backwards and my vision started to fade. Then I ended up here for."
As he was thinking these things a person, looking as if he was sculpted by God himself appeared a fair distance away in front of him; black hair and green eyes, dressed in white clothes and shoes, staring at the man with a enthused look on his face.
The lone man wakes up from his daze and looks at the new arrival with an apprehensive look in his eyes, wondering how this man suddenly appeared in front of him and why he looks so happy while staring at him.
The new guy keeps on staring at Alex before he smiles at him.
"Ah! Alex you're finally awake. You must be wandering where you are and what happened to you. well in short...you died." The handsome man told Alex.
Alex stared at the weirdly at the handsome man as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"How did I die? And who are you?" Alex asked in an inquisitive manner.
"I am what you would consider God, or at least one of them. As for how you died it's a short story, you were walking threw the park while day dreaming and unknowingly walked in on a mugging with a shaky ass-hat of a mugger and a scared victim that looked like they shat themselves when you arrived. The mugger was rather scared when you arrived, with gun in hand, when you appeared out of nowhere, you scared him so much that he pointed the gun at you and shot."
"Well I guess that helps explain how I ended up here as there is no such place to my knowledge of a place like this on Earth, I didn't really have any family but its a shame I never really found a lover. Now that my death is out of the way I have a few more question; you're a God? Are we in heaven, hell or limbo? Why am i here? Where do I go after I leave this place?"
"Well you seem awfully calm considering you died, oh well I guess that's just one of your quirks, the others didn't react so calmly. As for your questions, yes, I am a God. No, you are not in Heaven, Hell or in Limbo we are in a separate space I made to have this little discussion with you, you are here so I could relieve some boredom of mine and start something that both of us would benefit from."
As God was speaking, trying to give a more detailed explanation a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind him slowly walking towards God and Alex. Alex noticed the person appearing and stared at her. God noticing this gaze followed it and stared at the woman who suddenly appeared behind him and froze as if he was a child caught taking cookies out of the cookie jar. Alex noticing this looked at God with a question and confused look while thinking who this is.
"Maybe it's his secretary…" while Alex was thinking this. God, being about 6.5 ft. and muscular was getting lectured by a woman looking to be about 26 being 5.8 ft with a beautiful face, slender legs and a graceful figure that could take anyone's breath away giving God a smile, though beautiful, was filled with annoyance before finally looking at Alex the looking back at God.
"Do you know what king of mess you got yourself in?" The woman asked God completely ignoring Alex, the only spectator to watch this magnificent sight.
After a few glorious Hours of God getting lectured at by the woman, she finally stopped staring at him and turned to Alex, now it was Alex turn to be worried. While Alex was standing there the woman was looking at him with an analysing gaze. After a while she left not saying anything to Alex.
"Now that she is gone what is it that you want to ask me? remember this there IS a limit on what you can ask me and there IS a limit on what I can tell you, although we have raised the limit it a little for you and the other people who died. You have 6 minutes with me before you'll be reborn so you better hurry up, times running out." God asked while looking at Alex.
Alex, now knowing that there is a timer, rushed to ask god as many questions as he could before his time ran out.
"I can ask anything? Okay. Why are you doing this? where will I go when I'm reborn? tell me as much information as you can. If there were others beside me who died what happened to them? where are they now?" God looked at Alex, contemplating on what he should say next, before finally answering his rushed questions.
"Well for the first question, I've already said there isn't a limit to what you can ask. Why am I doing this? Well as you and the other people have relieved some of my boredom, you especially, were funny to watch, so I started to take a liking to you all and so when you all died I decided to repay you for relieving my boredom. As for your where you be reborn I'll tell you that last.
For your next question yes there were other people that died, you all died at the same time although you were all not in the same country at the time, just in case you were wondering. There were people from India, England, America, Italy, France and other countries, mostly European though.
The other people didn't take dying as nonchalant as you did, well there was one but he's already on his way to reincarnate and is already being supervised by someone else. One person even said how their 'Deity' will kill me if they aren't returned, that 'Deity' was rather embarrassed when I told them about that, hahahahaha!!!"
After God was finished with his laughing he turned to Alex.
"Now to tell you about the place you'll be reborn into." Upon hearing these words Alex put all of his focus on God, not wanting to miss a single key piece of information. After all who knows when his information will be valuable.
"In the beginning of this universe there was nothing but the devouring void, a vast expanse of nothingness, and the formless primordial chaos. One day all this primordial chaos acted up and started to condense into the form of an egg, within this egg were the balanced principles of Yin and Yang, the first being emerged from the egg. She had finally been 'born'. This young soul would later be known as "The First" or "The Mother of all". She was a being so beautiful she could light up even the the void itself, a fire so bright and strong that it couldn't be blown out and would just become more beautiful with time.
As she opened her eyes she stared at the vast expanse of the void surrounding her. Not knowing what or who she was she sat down and started contemplating her next steps. In the end, she chose to explore the void as much as she could hoping to find something, someone, that could help her, but in the end she found nothing. Not finding anything she started to feel a mixture of new and unknown emotions, ones she hand't truly fest nor understood at that point in her life, from fury to sadness all the way to loneliness. It may have seemed harsh on her and I could have helped her but it was for the best that things went that way as with the loneliness that she felt the urge to overcome it and get rid of it forever, never to feel lonely again. With this new determination she started to plan out her next steps, what she should do next to get rid of it.
This is how she came to remember her time in the 'egg' about how she suddenly appeared and about how she could learn to understand, learn to control what she is and how her powers work and function. So for an indefinite amount of time she taught herself how to control, understand and utilise her newly discovered powers. Experimenting, failing and later on succeeding. Experimenting with these new found powers, gaining some new, doing something different and gain learning something new and unknown. Gaining many results from her little experiments, implementing many variables she had learnt until one day she had finally finished with one of her new discovered experiments and accidentally, that's right accidentally, created the beginning of an entire universe while she was messing around with the laws of Yin and Yang, a place filled with chaotic energy everywhere yet seemed oddly in balance.
Shocked about this new and interesting result she decided to gain a more in depth understanding towards the laws of Yin and Yang and started to convert the chaotic energy into something useful, with this she brought order and balance to the universe by splitting and fusing Yin and Yang to be in perfect sync while using the chaos energy as fuel. Yin fused and separated with Yang to create everything inside of the universe. With the formation of existence she started to shape the Heavens and earth along with it's Divine laws, creating multiple, pillars along with their guardians, to keep the Heavens aloft and stop it from collapsing. Making guardians to protect these pillars from getting destroyed in case they were ever found. She created the Heavens to influence and manage these newly developed Divine laws, keeping them in check and making sure they don't revert back to the chaotic state that they used to be.
Many years pass before she completed her universe, looking around at her creation she noticed that although the world she created was beautiful she still had that felt that sense of loneliness that she vowed to rid herself of. So she continued on experimenting finding ways to create life. Many more years passed until she realised that she couldn't create life permanently without the energy she used to make it coming back to her, so, she came to the conclusion to give her life to make many more, she made the ultimate sacrifice and blew herself up to fill the universe with life. Causing everything to have spawned from her sacrifice to have a piece of her inside of them.
The first universe collapsed from the sudden burst of energy yet from these remains the beginnings of a new universe emerged, many beings were born from her sacrifice they all had powerful and mystical powers from birth along with the knowledge of what these powers were and how they came to exist as well as boasting an enormous lifespan and Martial Spirits, you'll learn more about this later on. These being would later be called the first generation of 'Primordial Gods', ranging from beasts to plants, to humanoids to marine life.
This new universe even had something new that wasn't in the previous Universe, 'The Cycle'. The place the recently dead would go to be judged for what they did in life, there being many paths a person would be sentenced to depending on how they were judged.
People who had gained a great amount of merit when they were alive can enter the path of the Heaven and be blessed with happiness and freedom; anyone who had committed a murder will enter the path of the Asura, Demon, and will lose their minds; those who didn't have any achievements will enter the path of the Humans; people with more sins than merits will enter the path of the animal; and the people who have an huge amount of sin will enter the path of the Suffering Ghost; finally people who had an enormous of sin will enter the path of Hell where they will stay until they have repented for their sins.
Everything was new and many more creatures and cultures appeared thanks to these beings, but as time passed these Gods got bored and started fighting against each other to find some enjoyment, this is how that worlds martial arts appeared. Many creatures suffered and died, many more had gone extinct until their was hardly anything left, of course not everyone wanted to fight they just wanted to live in peace without the worry of death hanging over their heads so they joined together and formed an alliance to try and bring balance. Millions of years passed before the universe calmed down but the damage by that time had already been done, countless amounts of people had already passed on using the 'The Cycle' though without a way to erase a persons memories the killing kept on going going until a Young God decided to fix this problem she went on an adventure hoping to find a way to fix this yet she found nothing so she came to a revelation instead of looking for something that may not may not exist why doesn't she just make a method herself. After this thought she found out that the things that will help the most were herbs that hold similar effects yet aren't strong. In short this is how alchemy was discovered, and she ended up fixing the problem. Now lets get onto how they grade a persons strength, I'm only doing the mortal grades as you should learn the rest later If you live long enough to ever get there.
The first realm is the Body Tempering Realm, the next is the Foundation Building Realm then the Foundation Establishment Realm after that is the Core Formation Realm, the True soul realm, Soul Cleansing realm, Soul Strengthening realm, Spiritual Body Formation realm and finally the Spiritual Body Realm. Now I've finished what I wanted to day It's time for you to live again" As God said this a bright light flashed and Alex disappeared, all that was left in this space was a lone man with a smile on his face. I didn't tell you everything, just summed it up. Oh well! Timers up, have an excellent next life."
After God finished said these final words with a flash of light Alex disappeared.
