A realm where only the gods reside, The higher realm. It's a place consisting of three floors, level 1 is the floor where the minor gods reside such as Phobos the god of fear. The supplies here are scarce and most of the gods here do not enjoy their daily lives, the entire day they must supply to the humans that worship them and look after them. To be a god living on level 1 is like being an ant living in a humans world.
Then comes the 2nd level, this level consists of the famous gods such as Poseidon and Ganesh. The living facilities here are very good and the gods here usually don't have to do much work, they're worshipped by people worldwide.
The final floor also known as Total Solace has the best supplies, Rumor says those that live here can summon anything they want using just their imagination. The only god who had ever reached this haven was the god of god's Zeus. He was demoted back to level 2 after he accidentally killed a human using his thunder.
The overseer of all the gods ever to exist was known as J, He was nor human, nor god. He was just a simple existence whose only purpose was to look over to higher realm.
The first floor was designed with purple quartz and grey furniture, each god had a room which was pretty small, Floor 2 was designed considerably better, it was made up of white quartz and black furniture and each god was given a vastly spacious rooms with tons of pastimes. No one apart from Zeus knows of the third floor but whenever asked he prefers to keep his mouth shut. Each floor had the same training and sparring room which was massive. The gods came here to blow off steam and have grudge matches.
While each god did receive prejudice, they all had their own worship rooms where they could visit their worshippers after death. They could only talk to them for a few minutes before they were sent to hell or heaven.
A god with two heads and a fiery aura around him was always alone, he preferred the alone time rather than making small talk with other gods, his name was Agni, god of fire. He was sitting alone by a table when he heard someone over the speaker, It was J! "Lord Agni please make your way to my room, I have some important news to share with you."
The orders from J were absolute, None could stand against him. Agni made his way through a dark tunnel that was placed near the entrance of the second floor, he reached a small room filled with blue lights. The walls were dark and the only source of light was the shards the emitted the blue light.
"Lord Agni, I've received word from my colleagues down on earth that you've been getting a considerable amount of love. Your teachings have resulted in good down on earth, we have decided to promote you to the final level."
"Is that so? I guess it's something I should be happy about."
"That isn't all I'm afraid, I've just gotten word that five other gods have also been up for promotion."
"And? What do I do about that?"
"Call them here."
"Tch alright, Which ones?"
J told Agni about the rest of the gods, they all assembled in the same small room as Agni was in before.
"Now that we're all here why don't we start with some introductions?" Said J.
Agni, God of fire, A hindu god. Brother of Surya and Indra.
Zeus , God of sky and lightning, He is a Greek god who is also known as the god of gods.
Neptune, God of the seas. He is a Roman god.
Gaia, Personification of earth, she is one of the Greek primordial deities.
Anubis, God of death, An Egyptian god who has a jackals head. He ushered souls to the afterlife.
Xuanwu, High ranking deities of taoism. He is very well versed in martial arts and can also use magic.
"Now that all the introductions have been done, I have some important news for you all. All of you have been selected to go to 'The Solace'."
Out of the 6 gods Zeus was the happiest after hearing this news. His mistake caused him to go back a floor but now he's been given a second chance and he couldn't be happier.
"FINALLY! I finally get the chance to go back to that place. I've been waiting for so long"
"Don't get too excited, Only one of you can be promoted. The rest of you will be replaced by a different god. You will be dissolved into space and your entire existence will be removed from the face of the earth. Therefore I ask of you t decide between yourselves. How will you decide."
Xuanwu stayed silent while the others lashed out at the proposal. "BLASPHEMY! I shan't stand for this, How is this a fair proposal? We don't get to decide if we want to take this offer up or not?" Said Neptune in a angry tone.
"No you don't, Remember Lord Neptune, My orders are absolute. No one can go against me, Every action I take has great meaning behind it. I'm not doing this for you."
Anubis cackled, "Why are you guys getting so angry keke keke keke, We just need to fight between ourselves to decide who gets promoted."
"Are you trying to get on our nerves Anubis? You do realise we need to follow the rules of the realm, no fighting between gods." Said Xuanwu.
"Now now my children, Do not haste, J has always been right, we shall follow as he advises" Gaia proclaimed.
The 6 gods made their way back to the main hall, there was an aura of seriousness around the room while they tried to figure out what to do next, All the gods were in despair at the fact that any of them could disappear with the snap or a finger. Agni and the others thought for a long time before Zeus came in with a suggestion, "Why don't we choose one of our worshippers on earth and give them our powers? We can tell them to fight for us so that we can decide who wins."
Only Agni, Neptune and Gaia approved of this idea at first until Anubis chimed in with his input, "How could we leave our fates to the mere humans on earth kekekeke."
"What other option do we have my child?" Said Gaia. The others slowly came to an agreement with Zeus. Everyone except for Anubis had agreed to the idea. "It's simple Anubis, You either agree to this or disappear without putting up a fight, The choice is yours." Said Neptune.
Anubis though annoyed eventually agreed. "How do we decide what human to pick? How long do we have to choose?." Asked Gaia.
"We each will have one month to decide, we will look down at earth and find the human most compatible to our powers, we will then bring them up here to our visiting room and tell them about the fight. If they do not agree, force them to. Send them back to earth in exactly one month from today and talk to them to help navigate the other 'subjects'." Agni explained.
All the gods were in agreement, Soon a battle that would cause many tradgedies to take place throughout earth. We shall prepare to find our subjects immediately!
