Due to his feats when he was young, a man who died from an old age was able to reincarnate because of a Goddess's favor. He had lived on earth for a century and time has taken its toll on his aged body. He had always wished for peace through death but the goddess has another plan for him.

Amidst the chaos among his family that was brought upon his death, the man's spirit peacefully passed on. But the moment he opened his eyes, lay a golden throne with a woman whose beauty surpasses those he had seen sat upon it. "I am finally able to meet you, dear." Her words were simple yet it brought a warmth feeling.

"Who are you and where am I?" The man asked, ignorant of his current situation, however, his eyes held calmness within.

The woman's head rested on her hand while her arm was placed on the throne's armchair. "I am a God, exalted by your kind and countless among. To answer your second question, Pedro you are in my domain, a God's sacred place. And you, my dear is the first other than me to lay steps in here."

"Why am I here?" He asked once again, confusion pervading his thoughts and judgement.

"You ask why, and I shall entertain you, dear Pedro of earth. The answer lays in your achievements during the war in your world. You have harvested countless souls in my stead and I have watched you since then, I heard all your wishes, your grievances, and each passing thoughts."

"Then why am I still conscious!?"

"Because you have a purpose, Pedro. For the greater cause shall I not grant you your last wish, in exchange, I will provide for you all other wishes you had."

"You! I am already conte-" Pedro barked, his anger slowly rising, a rare emotion coming from someone who had gone through life like him. Although, he was interrupted as the woman's voice resounded hard in his ears. "And with this, Pedro of earth. I shall grant you an appearance, pleasing even to the eyes of the divine."

From her words, Pedro's olden appearance morphed into a younger form, handsome and charming. A great contrast to his previous appearance, even so for his younger days. He could only mutter in confusion, overwhelmed with countless thoughts once he saw his pale sickly hands turn young and silky.

"With this, you will swoon them all, neither man nor woman can resist your charm. Be filled with bliss for my next blessing shall correspond to your endurance as a man, one of your biggest regrets in your life was to not be able to satisfy your wife's desire and so she took on another mortal's warmth."

The veins on his temple were bulging and with great anger, he shouted. "You... I have no more words for you!"

Her face was stony and cold, not twitching one bit from Pedro's insolence. "Truly all my blessings were based on what you desired when you were once among the living on earth. I understand your feelings, dear Pedro, but you must understand that everything I do is all for you."

"Lastly, I shall bestow you a seed, with it you will grow strong, both flesh and spirit. Sadly, like a seed, time is what it needs to mature." Pedro felt warm all over his body, slowly the warmth consolidated between his eyebrows.

Clenching his fists, he could feel great changes all over his body, as if it was light and full of strength. Unfortunately, although he wanted to pummel this conceited woman in her chair with this newfound strength, from the knowledge he got as a christian devotee, he knew the consequences of assailing against divinity through the bible.

"The time has come. Be free my pedro and henceforth with your arrival shall bring great changes upon countless destinies!" A large magical circle emerged at the ground, at the center of it is Pedro, tense and confused.

"Wait, what is my purpose!?" He asked aggressively while slowly, vaporizing starting from his feet. "And where the fuck are you sending me!?"

"To a world of countless possibilities, my dear. The answer to your question is-" Pedro vanished before finishing her words, his vision turned dark and he felt like someone in an aircraft that's taking off.

In a moment, a dull thudding sound entered his ears, while the sensation of the soft, hard ground permitted his back. He slowly opened his eyes, and which came upon him is a vast grassy land as far as his eyes can see.

No words came out of his mouth, maybe due to shock or a habit which came from his past. He observed everywhere, searching for any signs that may give hints of life. Walking while looking around, he was able to find a dirt road, one whom he normally sees in the province during his younger years.

"Finally, a sign of civilization." He sighed while he reached for his pocket out of habit, "Damn, I should have asked for a cigarette from that damned woman… Destroying my peace and sending me off to fucking unknown, I'll get her one day." His face was calm, eerily calm.

Without a cigarette to light or anything to do besides walking, he continued marching on the road. Suspiciously, the grassy plains held no signs of life, even a common rabbit was not to be seen. Pedro walked as if carefree yet his eyes looked around with caution.

It was already sunset when he saw a village with a crudely made wooden wall, battered to the point of uselessness. He was able to see the shadows of people from afar, they numbered quite a lot and it was relieving for him, being able to rest is what he needed right now.

He approached slowly towards the village entrance, where two men, one tall and bulky, while the other one was small but had a sturdy physique. The two wore crudely made leather armor while they stood side by side. "An elf…" "So handsome." They uttered simultaneously, their eyes held admiration for him and their words confused him greatly. What the hell is an elf?

With no mirror or anything to see his reflection, Pedro was ignorant of his current looks. If he was able to see it though, he might even shower praises towards the goddess who sent him here.

"Can you understand me?" He asked. It would be bad if I can't communicate with them.

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time as if in sync. "What brings you here, traveller?"

"Is there a vacant place here to stay the night?"

"Of course, and we would gladly welcome you!" They answered excitedly. Pedro placed his hands on his packet as if taking something out."Oh, no need for payments! The village chief doesn't accept anything from travellers that stops by for a night's rest."

Pedro's eyebrow twitched, from his experience, there's no free food handed down on a platter without an exchange. Be it, small or big, there is always an exchange, give and take, simple as that.

"Ben, you lead the way, I'll stay here." The tall man said, while he whispered a few words towards the small man, afterwards the small man, Ben looked at Pedro. "Let's go mate, I'll lead you to the chief's house."

"Thank you." Pedro nods towards the tall man before following Ben inside the village, the sun has already set but it was still early so the people were still outside, interacting while doing their work.

The villagers wore simple peasant clothes, one you would see in a medieval drama. This made Pedro believe that he really was transported in another world.

They looked at him, whispering amongst one another, some bold women were even throwing coquettish glances at him while the men were probably doubting their sexual preferences. Do I really look that attractive?, He wondered and remembered the goddess's words. I thought she only made me younger... Well, least I can do is use this to my advantage.

It did not take them even more than five minutes to arrive at the center of the village, as the village's size is small. Ben gestured his hand for a stop. "Here we are, wait here, I'll go talk to the chief inside."

Pedro stood still like a soldier, not minding the attention that he was getting from his surroundings. It took about ten minutes before the door of the house opened, Ben walked out of the door with an unknown old man behind him, he seemed respectful when around the man.

"Chief, this is the travelling elf that needs a place to stay for the night." Ben spoke respectfully, unlike his carefree manner from earlier.

The old man observed Pedro, from head to down, seemingly, leaving no detail out and with a smile he said. "Oh, I am Jude, Chief of this humble village. May I have the honor to know your name?"

Pedro smiled amiably and replied. "My name is Pedro, Thank you for providing shelter."

"It's a pleasure to help an esteemed elf such as yourself, please do come in and have supper with my family." Jude gestured with his hand, inviting Pedro to enter. "You can go now, Ben." And with that, Ben left without speaking a word while Pedro followed Jude inside the house.

A roasted scent entered his nose once he was inside the house, seemingly, the smell came from the kitchen. "Is there anyway for me to repay you for your kindness?" Pedro asked, hesitant to be in debt with someone in an unknown land.

"Oh, please do not think about it. I just wish to help someone in need to the extent of my capabilities and does not wish for anything in return." Jude's word sounded sincere, sincere to the point of doubt. He led Pedro to the kitchen and there awaits a lovely teenage girl who blushed at the sight of Pedro's elven appearance. While his wife was preparing the dishes she had just cooked. "Come sit, Pedro. Oh by the way, this is Martha, my lovely daughter. And my wife, Felicia."

"Nice to meet you, young lady and madam." Pedro discreetly winked at the blushing Martha unbeknownst to Jude who was busy conversing with his wife. Felicia nodded to Pedro in response while Martha, like a maiden girl, was struggling to mutter the words that were stuck in her tongue.

When the dishes were all served, they all ate quietly in respect to the food and for Pedro who was assimilating himself in their traditions and customs. After that, he was led by Jude towards a wooden cabin, it was enough to stay the night even though some parts were in a state of decay. "I'm sorry Pedro, this is the only vacant house we can provide to you for the night." Jude slightly bowed his head while Pedro casually shrugged it off. "It's already enough for me, Jude. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Well then, I should take my leave now, you must be tired from your travels." The two bade farewell and Pedro went inside, directly laying on the bed, with the thought of not a moment to waste in his rest. His first day ends as his weary eyes closed and his thoughts enters deep slumber.
