~ P.O.V is MC ~
The boy asked me after his intense stare, " Sir could you be a god? "
I almost choked, I knew he could figure out, but I was surprised by how he did it. You see when I saw him staring at me and I recounted that he was a reincarnated person. I accessed his mind and noticed that there was a small part of an ethereal familiar in his mind. I noticed that it was acting as a system of sorts after hearing his inner thoughts.
I looked at him dead in the eyes, " Well it seems we have a smart one. ".
He looked amazed, " If your a god why are you here? Your not the one I saw when I was reincarnated. "
I was confused, " What god did you meet when you were reincarnated? "
He replied, " I met Asaria, he said he was the god of thought, whatever that means. "
I remembered then, they must've delegated any form of reincarnation to be specific to a continent or maybe it was to race.. either way, it separated what gods they could meet.
I laughed, " Even I don't know what god of thought really means, I just thought it sounded nice and deemed him as such. "
He then paused and calculated.
He said to me, " Sir, could you be the god of balance? "
I laughed, " Good thinking, I'm glad you can deduct it. "
I was amazed that the 'God of Thought' could come up with a way to make a system in this world, it honestly had me blown away, quite the innovative one.
He looked at me and started asking questions, " So why are you here, if I may ask? "
I thought about it for a second, why was I here? What is my purpose, I already made these beings and gave them a world to reincarnate to aswell, I've done two enormous good deeds, but not on purpose? It was mostly out of selfishness.
What was I to do in this world, I could start a kingdom, no, that's too tedious, and people will realize I'm a god at some point when their king doesn't die. I could try working as a receptionist at the guild, but at that point, it does not really work, as I would not enjoy it. What should I even do?
I thought of it and reviewed the town, I thought back on it and quickly separated my consciousness from my physical form and overlooked the town.
I looked at the area, the homes were a timber-framed style, it reminded me of medieval Germany.
In the center of town was a brick-built mansion, it had a huge front yard, I assumed the duke of Oakenshire lived there.
I could see the houses diminishing in quality the closer they got to the east and west side of town, I wondered why that didn't happen with the north and south ends, but I quickly noticed the gates were there, it was a way to hide the slums.
With all of this said and done, what should I do? I could be anything, in all honesty, I could even be a miracle doctor since there literally is no disease I can't cure, but at that point, I could also just snap my fingers and heal everyone in an instant. I decided I wouldn't intervene in the natural cycle of fate.
I decided I would continue with what I was doing since I could pick up a passion whenever through my infinite lifetime.
I replied, " I'm just traveling, but I would like to pick up a passion, I've slept so long I don't even know every part of my world anymore, mountains could have formed, rivers could've flown, a whole race could've been segregated and killed off. "
He stared at me, " That's quite a gloomy thought... would the other gods let that happen? "
I replied quickly, " I don't know, I made them, they formed there personalities and convections through there own experiences, I just made a baby that already knew how to walk, talk, and read. "
I then rubbed my chin as I thought.
" You know what, I have to check on something, stand here for a second. ", I said as I disappeared instantly.
I looked around me and it was a black space, with water as its bottom, how deep did it go? I didn't care enough to find out. I looked around and saw white lights all around me, with a few exceptions who glowed brilliantly. They were all heading towards the same white light in the far distance.
" It seems this is the cycle of reincarnation set up by the gods. " I said as I watched the beautiful lights pass by me.
I looked around and saw lights that were stationary, they were unusually dim, but whenever an exceptionally bright soul appeared, they glowed brilliantly, I went near one and noticed, these were lanterns that had insignia on the bottom of them, this must be how the gods reincarnated people. By guiding the brighter lights to these lanterns whenever they wish.
I reappeared back into my spot in his backroom, I quickly said to him as I have come to a decision of what to do, " Would you like to take a test? "
