Akatsuki was teared up inside, he was about to die, but he was determined to save Asel, so he took the pill.
"I love you..."
Suddenly, his vision darkened and he started to lose consciousness, then a blinding light covered him.
CHEERRRR!
The loud cheers of many echoed in the arena, vibrating the ground. Akatsuki looked around, he saw many people in a similar state as was, confused. He had no clue on what to do, it seemed like he couldn't move at all.
"HAHAHHAHHAHA!" a thundering laugh bounced off the walls and entered everyones ears.
A tall, buff, and old man hovered above all the millions around him.
"Welcome, welcome, it is truly an honor to meet you all! You are the fighters in the Fight After Death!" He laughed joyfully, as if he was at the peak of his career.
Akatsuki was still torn up about his wife, he wondered what his Asel was doing right now, or if Asel even alive, in other words, he didn't give two fat shits on what the buff grandpa was talking about.
"You will each be blessed by 1 god of your choice! Popular gods will be able to give a lot of blessings, but the gods power will be split among the blessed individuals. The gods that are less known will have fewer blessings, meaning that its power will be fully lended to those few individuals. But the less popular the god, the less unknown its power might be because if not many people know about it, then its power might be a bit strange if you know what I mean."
Meanwhile...
"How is Asel, is she ok, did she die? No she didn't die, she is ok, is she?" Akatsuki was having a mind break, he wasn't able to keep his cool, Asel was the only one who helped him in his dark times and the only one who celebrated his achievements, without her, he was alone in this big world, and he wasn't used to such a scary feeling.
"Once you gain the power of the god, you will be guided to the hall of portals, these portals will guide you to a world of your choice, -E to S+, -E have worlds that have literally no problems and are completely fine, S+ have problems and opportunities in every nick and cranny, but also have the most powerful beings and are very easy to die in. The reason I'm saying this is because you will be getting points!"
"Points are what you will always need, the more points the better, the gods will give you a shop where you can buy items and even a limited gatcha! Points will also be used in the FINAL BATTLE! This is the main part SO LISTEN UP BOYS!" This is what broke Akatsuki out of his break down.
"If you have the most points by the end of the Fight After Death....
you get to ask one wish, one wish to the almighty being who granted life to all the gods, he will grant you one wish, that being what ever you want, with no limitations! NONE!"
"I-I can still have Asel!" Akatsuki saw a glimmer of hope!
"I am Zeus! The king of all Gods and the wielder of Lightening! God's of all religions are here, so Thor is also a good pick, but I'm the king of Gods, so I'm an obvious choice, am I right?" Zeus grinned as he looked at the shining eyes in the audience.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU OLD GEEZER!" a young man said with anger, he had lightening all over his body and his hair was flying, this was Thor.
"He is young and unwise, pick me ok?" Zeus said as he opened gates to a whole town full of people who had weird sorts of stands, some owned whole building's while some lived in the allies.
"Now look around! Find the god that suits you the best, I'm at the very end of this road, so be sure to hop on by and get my blessing!" Zeus said as he zipped by the whole town and landed at one of the mansions.
Millions of people rushed down the allies, trying to find the best god for them, while Akatsuki stood there, crying in happiness, he could still meet Asel!
"Time to find that God that will guide me down the path to find my lover!" Akatsuki's eyes started to glow blood red, his determination grew so much it wasn't even funny, if someone was it stop him, it wouldn't end well.
...
"That one, with the black hair and red eyes, he is quite strange isn't he?" A God who was a monkey with a huge HUGE war hammer behind him said to a god who had four arms.
"True, but I have my eyes set on a couple others, he seems like the type of person to do anything to reach is goal, am I right, Hanuman." The man said, the snake on his neck hissed.
"Why does it see like you are threatening me with every word you say Shiva!" He said, while the room they were in shot up in heat so much a human would turn into ashes if their hair grazed it.
"Hey! You guys don't argue right now! That man is very unique, sadly I can't get him to accept my blessing cause my blessing limit is maxed. To many light novel readers want to be edge lords." A man with an arrow on his tail and flaming crimson horns said while he held both of their solder's.
"Same for both of us Satin, as much as I appreciate Hindu followers, there are just too many! I want to look for at least one good person with some promise." Shiva said as he rubbed his head.
"But you already have someone!" Hanuman said angrily.
"True, but I wanna keep a close eye on that man, he might be a dangerous variable." Shiva said as he glanced at the man with the black hair a red eyes, suddenly going in the alleyways between the buildings.
