"Wow! What is this unpleasant odor? It has been decades since I last smelt the scent of bad karma. Let's see the soul that Artorias sent to me. Kukuku..." A man who seems to be ageless says as he meditates in what seems to be a pool of spiritual aura.
The man stands up and begins floating in the sky, he was going to meet the soul that was sent to him.
_________________________________
When Vincent was teleported by the Eternal, he unexpectedly found himself in a large golden room that seems to have no perimeter. Confused as to why he was teleported, Vincent decides to sit on the flawless floor and just wait.
"Is my Bad Luck so incessant that the heavens decided to give me a separate chamber!" Vincent thought and chuckled at his Bad Luck.
He was still deep in his thoughts when he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy fill the room which looked like an endless abyss. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared from thin air.
Vincent who was sitting down immediately stood up when he felt the presence. He was shocked to the core as he witnessed the being in front of him materialize from nowhere.
Vincent wanted to bow down his head and worship the entity in front of him, now and then. However, the aura of the entity was making Vincent choke despite being a mere soul, he felt that if he talked or moved from his position, he would cease to exist.
"Hmm, haven't I sealed my aura to the minimum, why is he still frightened? I recall the time I mistakenly unleashed my aura and killed billions of souls. It was a great loss!" The entity thought and he sealed his aura to the barest minimum that he could and made it similar to that of the Gatekeeper.
Vincent sighed in relief as the murderous aura decreased significantly. He could see the entity in front of him, clearly. The being was a man whose age he couldn't guess nor did he have an idea as to how long he had been existing. The man wasn't wearing any clothes but he was clad in a spiritual aura. So, Vincent didn't have to worry about seeing the chimney of the entity.
"Ye mortal, it's a privilege to see me and survive! My name is Laximus, I'm the god of death. Your bad karma is the reason you've been directed to me. Now stay still while I check all your deeds." says Laximus.
Vincent nods his head and doesn't even bother to respond as he keeps his body still while the god of death begins to send his spiritual energy deep into Vincent's soul.
Vincent's soul trembled as the aura dominated him, it was so sharp that his intuitions were screaming at him. Vincent carefully stared at the entity that called himself the god of death. He wasn't expecting to see an ageless man with an unshaven beard, he was expecting to see a large entity with huge horns and scary glowing eyes that could pierce one's soul with a look. However, all he was seeing was a man with an unshaved beard.
Unbeknownst to him, the god wasn't in his true form, and he will come to regret his notions in the future.
Laximus closes his eyes as he peers deep into Vincent's soul, he skipped all the parts of Vincent's fetishes, but still, there was nothing good or worthy in Vincent's daily life.
Skimming through Vincent's life, Laximus saw that Vincent's life was full of Bad Luck and terrible karma.
Withdrawing his spiritual energy, Laximus instantly comprehends the reason why Artorias directed Vincent to him, his bad karma was as huge as a mountain, in short, he had no good karma.
"Mortal, you have terrible karma! And it made your reincarnation cycle seem impossible. However, there are five ways through which I can solve your dilemma. Firstly, I can solve your problem by casting you into the hellish dimension. Secondly, I can make you reincarnate as a dog, and I guarantee that you will have an amazing owner. Thirdly, I will make you reincarnate as an eunuch. Fourthly, I will eradicate your soul out of existence. And the last option is to reincarnate you with a system in a different world, far away from the solar system of your previous world, however, it comes at a cost. Now, you have to choose an option, don't keep me waiting." Laximus says and he closes his eyes, seemingly waiting for Vincent's feedback.
Vincent nods his head and swallows hard as he begins weighing the pros and cons of the options he was given.
"Fuck! No one in their right mind would want to be cast to the hellish dimension, the second option... No way would I want to live my life as a dog and be petted every now and then and I definitely wouldn't want to spend my life as an eunuch! I mean who would want to live without a dick! No erection, no masturbation, no pussy! Dammit." Vincent cursed inwardly and made up his mind as to his preferred option.
"I would like to go for option five" Vincent says with a stern expression, he had made up his mind.
"Are you sure about this?" Laximus asks while keeping his eyes closed.
"Yes, I have decided to go for the fifth option" Vincent answers back.
"Okay, if it's what you wish for, I shall grant it for you" Laximus replies and begins wave his hands in the air, in a pattern that Vincent could not grasp.
Suddenly, Vincent felt like his soul was being pricked by a million needles while his ethereal form began to crumble. At the same time, a large vortex that contained a spiritual aura opened up above his head and began to absorb his soul and then… He was gone.
After Vincent had disappeared, Laximus seemed to ponder over a thought.
"Mmm, ever since I created this system, I have never tested it out, it was one of my failed experiments anyways. I never expected him to choose it, as most people want to live an easy life as a dog with a nice owner." Laximus thought and his body began to change into a terrifying form, which even the most powerful of Eternals wouldn't dare to look at.
