"...two thousand....two thousand one..."
*some time later*
"3,141,592,647,089....."
(??? 'old hag': Lady Seraph, I would advise you to stop counting and do your work properly, you have left your work for far too long already and has piled up, please complete it now)
"What a noisy secretary I have..."
This noisy secretary calls me "Lady Seraph" all the time and ever since I created her, she has been like your workaholic secretary or maybe like your calculus teacher that just speaks everything about the lesson and the second you close your eyes, there are notes worth 5 pages already written on the board. I nicknamed her 'Old Hag' for fun~
Ever since I became a high ranking goddess, I've been working non-stop 'watching' over souls for centuries. I felt really lonely and even though I have this 'old hag' with me...
(??? 'old hag': Lady Seraph...did you...)
I want to find my soulmate or should I say partner but the 'old hag' keeps dragging me back to work and I want to watch the countless worlds...
(??? 'old hag': ...did you just think of something....)
...where all souls reside in, everything they do is fascinating but none of them catches my interest at all, I want to experience love as well
(??? 'old hag': ...very rude....don't ignore me...LADY SERAPH!!!)
"YES?!"
I was shocked when the 'old hag' just shouted my name though with respect but somehow rude but I can definitely feel the anger in it as well...
(??? 'old hag': The 'suite room' is prepared and I shall give you some 'first'-class 'service', be there in a few minutes fufufufu)
and it was at that moment that I knew...I messed up...
---------------------------------------
After the whole 'service' was over, I went back to work as usual for some time then I asked her again if I can watch the souls residing in the many worlds.
(??? 'old hag': Sure, but please do your work properly next time, Lady Seraph)
Thank you and with that, I watched the souls live their lives in the world they are residing in. Everything happens for a reason for these souls.
Fate predetermines everything and will always happen not matter what you do but these souls want to change their fate no matter what but still cannot change it. Destiny can be changed because it is influenced by each individual's actions and decisions.
Despite knowing how Fate and Destiny works, there is one particular soul caught my attention. A man who is just casually walking around the place, going to work, earning money, supporting his only family which is his sister. He may seem like any other souls residing in the world 'Earth', but his soul isn't meant to be in this world and it is somehow 'connected' to a world.
I even wondered as to why there's a soul that isn't supposed to be in this world but supposed to be in a different world, and I also wondered to what caused such a thing to this one particular soul.
"What an interesting one I have seen~"
I continuously watched him through the years, and I have grown fond of him. I may have found the one I can love and spend time with as well as not be lonely anymore, but it saddens me that he has a woman he admires very much. Even though it saddens me, I kept watching him from afar, till one day, I saw his soul starts to fade away. He is dying, so I pulled his soul immediately to my realm and let his soul recover.
"I don't want you to die..."
(??? 'old hag': Lady Seraph, what is a soul doing here?)
The 'old hag' never misses a thing when it comes to my realm so I explained to her with all my honest feelings hoping she would let it go but even if she doesn't let me, I will still do what I want that is best for him.
(??? 'old hag': I understand the situation, Lady Seraph. Then let me handle the rest while you ease up and go back to work)
"What will you do to him?"
(??? 'old hag': I will do what is best for every soul)
"I'll take it from here you 'old hag', and I'll reincarnate this soul on to the world where he is supposed to be, to the world he has created"
(??? 'old hag': Just make sure you do your work properly this time...)
I agreed to her terms in reincarnating him but the reincarnation system is very random when creating the body necessary for the soul, it may be a male or female, but the system will always create a body that can handle the soul.
Once the reincarnation system has created his body and also prepared the world he has created, I felt a bit sorry because his sister also felt sadness so I came to her through teleportation.
"You are the sister of Shingo, right? Shingo is safe and alive"
She just stared at me in disbelief but also shocked to see that I went into the house without even making sound.
"That's right, I am his sister, Yoru Miller, but what do you need? my brother...is dead, I have nothing with me anymore! I saw his dead body! He isn't alive!"
She cried endlessly thinking about everything that has happened but for me who hasn't experienced the death of a love one, I don't know the feeling but I want to at least give her a choice.
"You don't have to be afraid, your brother is not dead...I am here to give you a choice"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! MY BROTHER IS DEAD! Get out before I call the police!"
Everything is starting to get out of hand which wasn't part of the plan so I teleport the both of us to an island far away which of course scared her when the scenery suddenly changes.
"Where am I?! What have you done?!"
"I am a goddess, and again, I am here to give you a choice"
"..."
She just stared at me silently trying to process everything that has happened before speaking.
"go ahead..."
"Well then, here are the options. First option, you let the things how they are but you won't see him again and you won't remember speaking to me either, he is alive and well you know, though in another world. Second option, I will reincarnate you as well with him though remember that nothing is free, it comes with a price"
She stared at the ground to process both options, I just gave her options she can choose from and everything will be up to her to decide.
"What is the price for reincarnation?"
"Something that you most value"
"...I...choose the second option"
"Very well then"
--------------------------------
I have reincarnated them both though I wasn't able to give a very good impression towards him because I still also want to have a bit of fun.
(??? 'old hag': Lady Seraph, I do hope you do know the consequences of the actions you have done)
"Shut up 'old hag', I fully know the consequences"
(??? 'old hag': Undestood, also...)
The 'old hag' showed me a video of Shingo turning into a girl which was very unfortunate but at least he...I mean, she is fine, and her sister as well. The 'old hag' even told me the 'names' I have been called when Shingo was awake, and it was quite rude so somehow a switch got flipped.
"Looks like someone is looking for some punishment, and also I was looking for some fun as well, what a perfect timing~"
