Jason's POV:
After returning from the weird space place, I found myself inside this green forest that's supposed to be on new earth, while surrounded by four sexy hotties that I chatted with on that fateful day.
Or in their case, it's probably today, so I should probably stop rotating around like a dog chasing his own tail while staring at them who were looking confused and scared. So I walked a little to my right & when four of them were on my eye level, I asked:
"Hey guys, are you all right?"
"Mmm, Yeah, Jason, do you know how we came to be here?" Rose asked with worried look.
"Yeah, one moment we were walking out of class, the next I found myself at a weird black place with stars --" Eir was speaking but was interrupted by Eliana:
"Me too."
"Me three." Ishtar replied
"Then we found ourselves here." Rose replied with a nod.
"Do you know what's going on Jason?" Eliana asked
To which I replied with a sigh and spoke:
"Guys our situation is fucked --" and then I started giving general overview of our situation and about my trial. After I finished speaking, they looked at me like I've grown a second head.
Eliana was the first to break silence and asked in an annoyed voice:
"Are you high right now or are you messing with us?"
"Jason are you alright? Did something happen to over there?" Rose asked in a concerned manner.
"I'm alright Rose and guys I'm not messing with you. Just look, there must be small menu button hovering over your vision in bottom left corner, concentrate on it & think about pushing it."
"What are --" Ishtar was about to speak when she suddenly turned silent, and then she had a shocked expression on her face.
Watching her behave like this, others also turned silent and one by one others also had dazed expressions on their faces.
"Is this really happening?" Eir asked with a nervous look.
"I'm afraid so." I replied with a solemn look.
Rose immediately took out her phone and started scrolling frantically. They all started looking into their phones but they couldn't find any signals.
I was feeling a burning sensation all over my body from the moment I appeared here on Earth, So, I sat on a nearby rock & closed my eyes to look what was happening in my body.
And I saw my DNA was getting blasted apart and rewritten in all the cells of my body. I actively started extracting & feeding Eternal essence to the process and within a few minutes all cells had divine DNA structure but cells needed more essence to complete the rebirth process.
So, I started feeding my body indiscriminately and after my whole body was overflowing with essence, my whole body erupted in golden-platinum flames.
I heard the concerned voices of girls and spoke loudly:
"Don't come near me or you'll get hurt."
And then the flames intensified, I could only see white, could only hear myself roar and curse out loudly. I've been burned alive a couple of times in the trial but this was so much more painful than that. So I tried not to scream in front of the girls and just roared and cursed.
Few minutes passed while cursing and I was standing now. Flames started to calm down & after a couple of seconds they died down. My vision cleared & the ladies were standing with terrified expressions on their faces. I looked around to check if any predator heard me screaming.
When I was satisfied we were alone, I turned towards the girls and noticed I was standing naked. I became muscular but my first instinct was to check if my equipment was alright. I took my penis in my hand and noticed it became a monster, so I spoke:
"holy fuck"
And then I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was oddly refreshed, like I slept for a whole day after tiring myself out. I stretched and yawned while I got myself to sit up. When I sat up, I noticed my groin area was covered by cotton jacked Eliana wore.
I looked around and found the ladies sitting a few meters behind me.
"How are you feeling now?" Rose asked
"I'm feeling great actually." I replied
"What happened to you?" Ishtar asked with a concerned look.
"I'll explain everything to you guys, just give me a couple of minutes."
"Sure"
"Take your time" They replied
I got up and threw the jacket back to Eliana and said "Thanks for this."
"Sure, No problem" Eliana replied.
Now I was standing buck naked in front of four hotties who were looking at me with arousal, so the first thing I did was to create mirror in front of me with light reflective force field. And I saw the body of a Greek god, ripped with muscles, 8 pack abs, broad shoulders, height incremented to 6'2", chiseled face, with black eyes which were shining with stars & galaxies in them, and light brown hair.
'Hmm, No wonder they're giving me hungry looks.' I said to myself after I completely observed myself. Then I walked a few distance away, and summoned water on top of myself, heated it & started bathing in it.
After I was satisfied, I created clothes and shoes for myself using divine energy. It was a very taxing task because wielding forces of creation and destruction to create and destroy matter is very hard & tiring, and I couldn't use essence because my body wasn't strong enough to wield it freely.
I walked up to the ladies who were watching me with dazed expression & I sat in front of them. I started explaining more about our new world, my trial, about gods, spells, heavens, Minerva, my new name & finally what happened to me while I burst into flames.
"So let me get this straight, you have a sugar mama who is super duper almighty powerful being, while you already became a powerful warrior/wizard who's set to become a powerful being to be worshiped." Eliana replied with flabbergasted expression.
"Well, when you put it like that, you make it sound like I'm having a time of my life."
I replied while awkwardly scratching the back of my head.
"Have you checked your status screen? We haven't got anything in notifications or quests, all our stats are less than 10 and cultivation has NA in front of it." Eir enquired.
I looked at my status screen & a pleasing smile spread on my face. And I shared my status screen with them.
