Chapter 2 - The Path to Reincarnation

As the darkness enveloped my senses I saw a small white light shining in the void that was around me. I had no sense of my surroundings as if I was paralyzed. Slowly the light grew and as it did my senses slowly returned to me. I was floating in a dark world... stars and galaxies surrounded me... it was a beautiful sight and as a science nerd I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I turned my head and I witnessed Earth in all its majesty. But no matter how hard I tried... i couldn't turn my body towards it. Slowly I started gaining speed... Earth started becoming smaller untill it became a spec. What I assume was my astral body or soul, moved with break neck speeds as I kept zooming past celestial bodies. I was moving towards the centre of the milkey way... I'm not sure how I knew that, it was almost instinctual... I tried stopping my body, but it didn't help much. As I gained speed I again started losing my sight and slowly my sense of self.

NO... I can't... I don't want to leave those memories behind me. I steeled myself in my defiance of the astral force that was pulling me through space and that was slowly shutting me down. I... I can't... and slowly darkness enveloped me.

When I woke up it happened abruptly... I was standing on a transparent piece of material... almost like glass but it felt solid... underneath me was the event horizon of a black hole. The dark abyss was staring at my in all its glory. I got scared... black holes always fascinated me but I didn't want to be devoured by one. Suddenly I heard a choppy voice... as if a corrupted sound file was playing together with white noise.

"oH hELLo!"

I turned around witnessing a weird being. It looked like a woman. Was the being in front of me was a woman? It at least seemed that way, she had no face no clothes and no features at all... it was just a white body almost like a doll from a clothes shop.

The woman? Kept waving her hands around and apologising. "aHh! sOrrY! yOu cAn'T unDeRstand me like this..."

She turned to me as slowly her body became more human like... she grew silverish white hair and a dress enveloped her body, a purple dress made out of stars and galaxies... fitting I thought as I looked at her unimaginably beautiful face.

"So you should be more comfortable with me now? ha?"

I nodded with an absent look on my face... charmed by her beauty. Its weird... I usually don't act like this even if the woman is beautiful.

"Oh sorry..." She suddenly lost her glow that was attracting me to her and became... she was still beautiful but it was not unimaginable as before. She was still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen though.

"Now... little guy? What are you doing on my platform?"

"No clue... I was zooming around and I suddenly woke up here"

"Heh... you know you are impressive... most souls don't even gain back their sentience after they are finished with "zooming around" as you say"

She did air quotes and chuckled a bit. I chuckled a bit too. I really didn't imagine a universal beeing to be so relaxing to talk to.

"Well you know most souls that do see me flip out in their... ehmm... passion... let's say... especially the male ones."

She suddenly created a couch and cousied her body on it.

"You are quite interesting~ staying awake for so long... it happens to other souls as well don't think you are so special. I, after all, am here to see what to do with you and others like you."

She created a sofa and levitated me onto it.

"Eeh... soo... I remeber dying? What now?"

"Well I like you... for a mortal you can control your urges pretty well... its weird since your emotions should be enhanced when in your soul form."

Her eyes shined with the same ethereal purple colour of her dress and then she snapped her fingers as a big smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Aha! I see... you are one of those... well little guy what do you want to do? What is your passion in life?"

"I would like to marry you." I didn't know how that came out of my mouth... but it did.

"Hoh... you sure are a feisty one" She laughed and said "Sorry little guy but we can't even be friends."

Oof... I've heard of tough rejections but this one hit hard hahaha but what did I expect it's not like a hot goddess will be satisfied by a mortal.

"Right on point little guy... but who knows? You might have a chance if you archive something in your next life."

She can even read my mind... well count me suprised but it wasn't that unexpected after all.

I stop thinking of useless things and hopefully ask "Next life? So is this one of those 3 wish type of things?"

"Nope... well kinda... it's pretty much I ask you what you like and I reincarnate you in a world that you would like, together with one ability of my choosing." She teleports in front of me and cups my face. "But don't worry! I like you and I will give you a good ability for your world. After all I don't want to waste my energy on people who can't even keep their lust towards me to themselves hahahah"

Her melodious laughter sounded of as she let go of my face. She was treating me like a kid but I guess it's real. I'm 21 and she is probably... who knows? old as existence itself?

"Hah, I'm not That Old!"

"Well it's not like I know how to estimate the age of celestial beings."

"I know... I'm not that arrogant you know... I don't take offence to something that a mortal thought."

"Thanks I guess? So... you asked before... but I really enjoyed playing minecraft factorio and base building strategy games when I was alive.

A minecraft world would be so much fun!"

She looks at me with a thoughtful look. "Ok! I will tweak some stuff around... after all a soul from a polygonic world can't connect to people made out of squares... your sanity would definitely suffer." I nodded as it made sense.

(A/N: really didnt know what to call it so I came up with a bullshit word "polygonic". You know game characters and assets in realistic looking games are made out of polygons)

"Ok then, there are ways of becoming a god in your world, but only if you work hard. If you manage to become a god, I would be very impressed and you would become a being closer to me in status then you can maybe marry me. In case your interest in me remains that is~~" She winked and then looked into my eyes, expecting my comment.

"Ok... do remain single though." I smirked at her and winked.

"Hahaha, of course, have a nice life little guy!"

"Thank you... good bye." I waited there for her to do something. I didn't have to wait for long as in a couple of seconds of her looking at me. She grabbed my sofa while I was on it and tossed me into the black hole.

I screamed as it took me by surprise... she then laughed and clapped her hands... a protective bubble surrounded me. The sofa got stretched out and destroyed but I remained alive. Then suddenly the bubble compressed onto me and I found myself in the middle of the black hole Suddenly shooting out in a white ray of light.

Sooo looks like white holes are real. I thought to my self as the blinding light seeped into my mind and made me slowly lose consciousness but not before I caught a glimpse. A glimpse of a huge green and blue plane that seemingly spanned a distance as long as the universe.

(A/N: it will be a somewhat circular plane... but if you step of the edge you get transported to the opposite end. I don't want to make it into a ball since cubes and balls don't go well together... and yes I have seen that video of a youtuber making a spherical minecraft world it would just be annoying. But we will see honestly... I left it kinda open in the story so we will see what I think of)
