A beautiful White cat, that what Ren saw when he was passing by his neighbourhood.
With his clean white fur, blue eyes and golden chocker around his neck, it was bound to be a pet from some rich house. Looking in the surroundings, Ren couldn't find anyone.
"If I can bring this cat to police station, being the benefactor, maybe the rich owner will reward me for it." Ren was in a need of money, so he thought maybe...
Closing onto the cat, he extended his hand.
"Meow!"
The cat snarled making Ren jump couple feet's back. The most prominent part of Ren's personality was being a coward, even in school he was mocked for always getting nervous. Gulping his saliva, he again tried to close the distance.
"Meowww!!"
As he extended his hands, the cat suddenly jumped straight on his face, with his nails digging straight into his eyes. A sudden rush of pain along with overwhelming drowsiness made him black out within couple of seconds.
———
Ren opened his eyes, seeing the scenery in front baffled him. As far he could see there was only corona lighting, shining endlessly. He couldn't feel his feet so he peaked downward. Ren was afraid to find no feet at all, in fact he didn't possess a body only a capable brain.
Not understanding what's going on, his fear started gradually increasing.
At that time, a sudden figure in front of him.
"Hello, child. I have been waiting for you!" That figure was pure white, one couldn't perceive his figure at all.
Seeing as Ren wasn't speaking, the figure tried to ease him.
"Don't be nervous child, I will not harm you."
After taking some imaginary deep breadths, Ren questioned.
"Then, where am I? What am I doing here? and who are you?"
"A lot of questions you have. First, you are in infinite dimension, the absolute centre of everything, everything started from here." Even though Ren couldn't see it's face, he could feel his/her voice was filled will melancholy.
"Second, the reason you are here is because you died. The cat you were trying to touch mashed your brain in pieces after you blacked out. It was one of the devil cat that escaped the prison of infinite dimension, I felt guilty, so I led your soul here." Ren imaginary eyes widened, he tried his best not to envision his crushed head. Even though it was that being fault, out of nervousness, he wasn't able to berate him.
"Third, I am what you people would call God." Red looked at the being in front of him for some time, it would be lie to say he didn't already predict it. The truth was Ren was very smart person, whether in Academics or sports, he was excellent. Just his inability to think things trough in presence of people made others perceive him as a coward.
"I see, so what's going to happen to me?"
"That depends upon you. If you want you can go to heaven and enjoy your life OR you can reincarnate in a different world with three wishes. The world will be of my choosing."
"Is this for real? Isn't this the same as those novels I read?" Being an otaku, Ren was quite knowledgeable.
"That's correct. So, what do you choose."
Ren was contemplating on what to do. Surprisingly his brain was functioning like normal even though he was in front of a supreme being. Setting that aside, he pondered.
He was always termed as coward, even though he was really smart, he couldn't show it to others. His previous life was a disaster, his life didn't had a meaning but now his death has. He wanted to live his life to fullest, without fear, without cowardice, doing whatever he ever desired. Wanting to forge his own legend, having a bevy of goddess to serve him, he wanted some meaning.
"I want to be reincarnated."
"I see, what are your three wishes? I should tell you it will be a world full of fights and death."
Ren again began to ponder, whether it's a world with fighting and death or not, the basic rules apply to every world. Power, Money and Beauty, these are the things that rules a world. Ren didn't know what kind of world he would be reincarnated to, so he asked.
"Um..what world will I be reincarnated to?"
"That's a secret." That being voice sounded a little amused.
"Okay!" Ren though for a long time before replying.
"My first wish is, I want an ability to engulf everything. Whether it's power or talent, space or time."
"That's an interesting wish. Very well, it's yours. I won't explain too much, you can discover it slowly. About devouring space and time and likes, if you become powerful enough you will feel it yourself." Ren thought it was good enough.
"For my second wish, I want Gamer's mind."One might think it was a waste, but it was the best ability for him.
"It's yours."
"Lastly, I want the ability to make any women fall for me."
"Haha, I am starting to like you. Okay, but it will not make them fall for you in an instant. It will increase your chances and luck to be with any women you desire. Their first impression of you will be immensely high and they will fell comfort around you. Is that fine?"
"Fine, absolutely." Ren nodded, with some excitement, even though he felt something was wrong or more like something was missing in that explanation.
"Also, I have changed your appearance to one of your favourite characters as a gift. Now, go!"
As soon as the God voice resounded, drowsiness filling Ren's mind. He turned unconscious.
"Good luck, Child!" The figure muttered before disappearing in endless infinite dimension.
———
"You woke up!" As soon as Ren felt his consciousness coming back, he heard a cold feminine voice.
He opened his heavy eyes lids albeit with little difficulty and looked around. It was small room, he laid down on a rough bed and beside him, a maid dressed women was sitting on a stool.
Though she couldn't be considered an absolute beauty, she was still beautiful nonetheless. Only if her eyes didn't reveal that piercing coldness, she would have looked a little more approachable.
"Where am I?" Looking towards the maid-costumed women, Red asked.
"What do you think? You are in servant quarter, you
passed out after hearing the news about your mother." Red didn't understand what's going on or where is he. So, he decided to buy some time. Even though he didn't notice, Gamer's mind has already started effecting him.
"I see, my head still hurts. Can you leave me alone for some time."
The woman looked at him in suspicion but still stood up from stool and departed. After he was alone, he started thinking about the new set of memories in his mind. It was probably about the memories of this child. That's right, he was in a body of 5-6 year old child. He could see and feel his little limbs.
After about an hour, he understood his condition, he also knew where he was right now.
Ren was the son of a maid working at Brahma God Realm, one of the seventeen Royal Rank Star Realms in Eastern Divine Region. The Eastern Divine Region was one of the four regions that made up God Realm.
"So, I am in world of Against the Gods." Ren thought out loud. He was perplexed why that being chose him to reincarnate here, in Brahma God Realm.
He also learned about the person whose body he is occupying, the child name was also Ren. He was a kind hearted, timid boy who couldn't do anything without his mother, his only parent. But yesterday, his mother succumbed to her illness, the grieving feeling made him pass out.
Ren was surprised to find that even after knowing it, he wasn't feeling anything, none at all, his heart beat as calm as it could be.
While he was thinking about it, he felt something inside of him change. He could feel mysterious abilities appearing inside his mind. He guessed it was probably the gifts, now his mind was clear of any suspicion why the maid earlier acted cold.
Getting off from bed, Ren moved towards a mirror.
"Sebastian Michaelis, huh!" His face now looked exactly like that demon butler, silky black hair with red eyes and an extremely handsome face.
Ren closed his eyes and opened again, a resolution passed through them. Looking at his face in mirror, he spoke as if making a vow to himself.
"No matter what, this time I will live my life to the fullest, doing whatever I want!"
