I was shocked to hear the old man's question. Is reincarnation real?? After pondering about the question I gave my answer, "No".
After what seemed like an eternity the old man laughed wholeheartedly and said to me," Young Man, I like you. You answered my question truly even if you were to lose your chance for reincarnation. Say do you want to be my follower?"
Now this question put me on edge. What follower and would I have really lost my chance? Seeing my confused expression the old man elaborated his question and explained,
"You see everyone here who is from a different realm is here to be reincarnated. We give those reincarnates a choice whom they want to follow. Suppose let's say you follow Plutus-God of Wealth" he started showing his finger in a particular direction. Following his hand, I saw a man wearing a white robe and holding a golden staff with many people who are crowed near him. The old man continues,
"You will be granted his blessings and depending on your karma points you will be granted with a power that is if you have 100-500 you will be born with the power to make money in the world you are reincarnated into, if you have 500-1000 you will be born in a very wealthy family. If your one of those rare people who have more than 1000 KP(Karma Points) then you will be granted both of the powers."
He paused for a bit for me, so I can intake all the information. After intaking and storing the information I was thunderstruck. I could get a blessing from any God or Goddess in here for my next life. As I going over it, something caught my attention. The old man said to get blessings of a God or Goddess but he did not mention how Gods or Goddess's can give me blessings. As if reading my thoughts the old man laughed and said,
"Hahahahaha, you sure are sharp. Yes, you can get blessings of multiple Gods or Goddess's if you have enough KP and your soul is strong enough to handle all the blessings."
'Okay now, this guy is creeping me out. First, he shows out of nowhere and asked me questions if I believed I reincarnation. Then he reads my mind like it's an open book. Wait...... is he a God?'
Again reading my mind he says," Of course I am a God, I do not have the mind-reading ability but your face says it all. Names Hermes - God of Shepherds."
Now both my doubts are cleared. I have met a God. Literally, a God and he is giving me a chance to become his follower. This is not a dream. After calming down I asked him,
"Can I first see other Gods & Goddesses and then decide?"
He thought about it for some time and then said,
"Okay, but one condition...."
