Chapter 4 - A Different Kind of Dream

"Hello, Marcy." A feminine voice called out in greeting.

"Huh? Who's there?" I replied flinching. I sat up to see that I was in a room meant for a king. I saw a bed that was bigger than a king-sized one, and pieces of art strewn around the room which probably cost thousands of dollars for each piece. Expensive carpet and furniture were laid everywhere around the room empathising wealth.

I turned around and spotted a woman wearing a colorful blue dress suited for the likes of royalty. She had hazel eyes and wavy red hair that contradicted her clothing, which made her look oddly. "Who are you?" I asked timidly. I believe that I'm probably lucid dreaming since I'm retaining all my senses and thoughts. It also meant that I didn't have much control, and I hoped I would be able to make her go away if she turned into some strange monster all of a sudden.

"Hahaha, my name is Carmella Valentine, otherwise known as Lady Luck, you may have heard of me before or you never had. And to answer your thoughts your physical body is dreaming, however, your spiritual body has been brought here by me."

My mouth opened up and down like a goldfish stunned once again by the things I've seen within these past 24 hours. "Are you some kind of goddess?" I asked in wonder.

"I wouldn't dare call myself a goddess, I'm not a fool, I am simply a being who represents luck. Many people confuse me and my sister Karma all the time, admittedly though our ways of power can collide at times which unfortunately results in some odd situations… Anyways, enough of my talk. I'm assuming you're wondering why I've brought you here, yes?"

I nodded back, my brain was still running at full power trying to process everything. "I brought you here because I believe you can have an impact on this world and you're going to need my power if you want to survive and influence this world. I know it's confusing, let's just say that the world you came from is isolated like a bubble, and due to the nature of the world, magic, and various other forms of power have been blocked from reaching that realm. The portal you took essentially brought you out of that shell and into this world."

For once I wasn't stunned by this information, I guess after enough world bending information being discovered by me eventually numbed my brain. "So you want me to become your prophet or something like god bless luck or something?"

Her serious expression faltered and she started to laugh, "no, no, I would never make you do such a thing, those other people who do stuff like that are a bunch of narcissists. Nobody gains power through being worshipped, only through people doing actions of what they represent will give them power. If you accept my power, you will become my will"

"Huh, well you sure sound like a goddess," I told her in awe.

Her pink lips formed into a smile which made my heart rate beat faster, "I admit that I technically am a goddess, but calling myself that just feels wrong to me as I am only a powerful being."

Internally, my respect shot up for her by thousands, I never have meant any gods or goddesses before besides her, and I had a gut feeling that she is probably one of the nicest ones.

"What do you mean saying that I will become your will," I asked her curiously.

"Well unlike most high beings who have apostles, servants, and various other servitudes, becoming my will is similar to becoming one with me. I'm not saying that I will take over you, I would never do such a thing to turn someone into my puppet. My power will flow through you connecting you with luck. I would in a way be almost like your mother, that is the simplest way I can describe it. I will give you until tomorrow night to decide as I use a great amount of power to reach this area of the universe."

As she finished I already started to see her form fade away along with the room, "Wait don't go yet, I have more questions for you!"

"I'm sorry, I don't have the power to continue, I wish you well on your choice coming tomorrow night."

I hurriedly reached out my hand towards her fading form, it was too late though as I felt the room shift, and I realized that I had my outstretched in front of me in my bedroom. I heard my alarm going off on the left side of my nightstand and I quickly told it to shut off as it was annoying. "Mmmmm." I murmured and let my head fall against pillows again. I couldn't help it. The bed was just too damn comfy! I realized that I was going to fall asleep again which would ruin my plan to sort some things out before I went to work so I unwillingly got up. I checked my sim-device which read 6:00 am which meant I had a couple of hours to work with.

I got out of bed and looked into the mirror which made me gawk. My hair that had looked neat last night was a complete and utter mess from my head moving around the pillows. I didn't take a shower so I was quite confused about how it got so messy, though as I thought back to my dream it may have caused me to move around a bit so I shrugged it off. My male mind was still imploding about me almost being naked in undies and a bra, but thankfully I didn't feel physically horny so I looked around my room for a closet.

"Huh, no way!" I yelled in excitement. In the corner of my room, there was a closet that opened to a dress fit room. It had robotic hands that helped sort through clothes and dress your body within a matter of seconds to get ready for the day or put on dresses and such. It was popular among females for obvious reasons, I never had gotten it though mainly due to it being pretty expensive. Plus I didn't have many clothes anyways, besides work, a pair of fancy clothes and some casual wear. I had it now though and I was going to fully take advantage of it.

I also didn't know how to put on a bra either making that another reason why I would enjoy the machine. I hopped into the room quickly and said, "Any sports clothing please."

A robotic monotone voice repeated back to me through the speakers, "sports clothing being equipped." I closed my eyes because the machine took off my bra and I knew that although my physical reactions were fine, my mentality that was still very well a male would short circuit. I fully knew that I needed to get past this eventually, but at the moment I didn't feel like dealing with it until my brain could fully digest my busy activities that had been going on since yesterday. It didn't help that I still had to make that decision about becoming that goddess's will or not as well.

"Host has been equipped." The machine finished, interrupting my internal thoughts. I looked down to see that I now had a sports bra on and a tight type of legging that was made out of carbon fiber. It was surprisingly flexible and I secretly felt glad that I was a girl for once. Normally, males didn't wear these types of leggings, it wasn't like they weren't allowed to. It's just wearing tight carbon fiber leggings as a male doesn't go well with society at the moment. It sort of felt odd though, I can't say I'm a big fan though of how tight it was around my butt. It didn't physically feel uncomfortable, but having a male mentality made it feel really weird to me since I never wore clothing like this before.

After taking a leak in the bathroom, which I felt uncomfortable with, I headed out to the simulator room. It also sucked that I would have to pee by sitting down from now on, I almost learned that lesson the hard way when I was about to piss in my pants. I thankfully realized that at the last second, saving myself from embarrassment and shame.

I hopped into the simulator capsule and booted up the machine. It started to make a whirring noise and my vision slowly faded until I was looking at a screen with 4 options facing me.

They all represented the basic functions for the exercising simulator that helped test your abilities. I selected Flat surface because I first wanted to test my speed and endurance I had for my new body I was dealing with.

I chose the man-made surface option since I was working in a city plus it would allow me to accurately test the maximum speed I had. I appeared in a simulated world that had a blue sky and a flat surface that extended for miles with nothing else in sight. I warmed up first and then finally started experimenting with my speed. I noticed immediately that my top speed and even acceleration were faster than my original body which surprised me. I didn't think females were slow or anything, but I was pretty damn fast, and the fact that this body was even faster amazed me. I could run up to about 24 mph making me on par with Olympic runners.

After testing with my speed for a while though I instantly noticed one negative thing about my new body. My endurance has dropped significantly. I can always train to raise it more, but I had a gut feeling that I'd never been able to reach what I once had as a male. That made me pretty depressed, I shrugged it off though because my speed increased a lot and I knew that my male body would have never been able to reach this speed no matter how hard I trained. I smiled and moved on to the training option to test my strength.

I was sadly proven correct with my assumptions that my strength decreased, which I could completely understand. I didn't feel that bad about it, because in the era of advanced technology I wouldn't really need much strength at all.

My alarm buzzed signaling that it was time to get ready for work so I hopped out of the simulator to get ready for my first day at going to work in this crazy new world as a girl.
