"Wh-where am I?" Said the confused old man when he found himself standing in a completely white room. The first thing he noticed was what it seems to be a beautiful looking young man with his silky black hair.
"Sorry to inform you, sir Aiden, you have arrived at the place people call the afterworld" The young man bowed and said to the still confused-looking old man (Aiden). The old man stared in silence for a few seconds before saying to the young man.
"Get yourself up young man, why bother to bow to this worthless old man when you have the position to decide where I will be going to heaven or hell… I'm ready for this time after all," With a solid tone he stated. The young man raised himself and saw the eyes of the old man and bowed again.
"Sir Aiden… I have been watching you all this time, you are the kindest person ever under my watch. Even the god-king himself noticed your kindness since you were 14," The old man chuckled, placing the young man in confusion as he raised his head.
"Haha… ha… I don't even remember how I died and you are telling me all this. Well, can you at least tell me how I died before we continue?" He nodded and began his explanation.
"You died while helping your grandson, he was asking for you to see if there's anything wrong with the electric socket. The rest of the stories were you poking the socket with your finger and getting electrocuted, which led to a cardiac arrest," For a moment, the old man chuckled, but that chuckle turned into a look of horror.
"How's my grandson?" He asked the young man.
"Don't worry, when you were fixing the socket, he was playing outside, I assure you that he is safe… Now… shall we continue?" The man sighed in relief and nodded. The. The young man then continued his words.
"Excuse my rudeness… let's begin with an introduction of myself, I'm a middle-tier angel of the god I mentioned before, the god-king. When the god-king noticed you, he prepared two paths for your afterlife, the first is the heaven where you can become angels and eventually rise to the league of gods…" The old man gulped before asking with a solid tone.
"I'll apologize, but I do not wish to enter a life where I need to compete with others once again. Can you put me in…" The young man (angel) shook his head.
"It isn't possible for a place to be peaceful all the time without any conflict. Even when the gods abandoned their mortal feelings, their memories still exist within them, thus creating a conflict between gods. But there's a solution to that, even though…" This time, the old man interrupted him.
"Even though what?" The young man stared into the old man's eyes and continued.
"Third option, place you into the world, if you don't mind, I can choose one for you. It might not be the best, but I have one in mind. A world full of adventure, you could also live a peaceful life in a town or village. And with a gift from the god-king himself, a thing called the system"
