"Hello there child, are you lost?"
As I came to those were the first words I heard. I looked around and saw nothing but a starry night sky. I could see nebulas forming and supernova's going off in the distance. I could even see whole planets and solar systems coming into existence as if I'm watching millions of years as if it's happening in mere seconds. After I was done being mesmerized by the sights I looked up and see a floating orb of pure soft white light hovering about twenty feet from me.
"I'm sorry but who or what might you be?"
I stood up after I asked question and began to feel something looking deep into my very being. I sense that it's almost as if it was looking at my very soul.
"I don't know, you could say that I am a god. I noticed that you have a very pure soul, how did you wind up lost here?"
"I have no clue, I don't remember how I came here."
Then it came to me, I don't remember anything. I don't even remember my own name. I begin to freak out and started to feel panic as realization dawned upon me. Did I die? If I did then how?
" I wasn't able to discern that. It seems as if you have been drifting in the cosmos for millennia cause when I peered into your soul I couldn't find anything about you, it's as if the very universe is cleansing your soul."
"What's going to happen to me?"
"I can help you reincarnate if you so choose or you can endlessly wander the cosmos till you become nothing."
That part about becoming nothing definitely isn't appealing to me.
"Reincarnation? What is that?"
The orb of light just stood there as if I asked a weird question.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that as you basically have no knowledge on such a subject due to your unique situation. In simple terms you will be reborn in world I so choose. One I deem proper and in need of a potential savior."
After it said that a blue and white holographic panel appeared out of nowhere in front of me. One the panel it read "Do you wish to accept reincarnation? If you do then press yes and if not then no. If you hit yes then you will be taken to the character creation screen.
"Here I am giving you a choice as well as choosing your potential and life. Just remember this, whatever you choose I will support it."
After I heard thos words I hit yes. Then the screen flashed and a whole menu popped up.
Character Creation
- Gender
- Race
- Appearance
- Class
- Abilities
"This is to help you choose who you could be and then I will send you to a random world where you could be Prince all the way down to a slave. I'm not saying you would be a slave but it is a possibility."
I clicked on gender and the options pop up.
- Gender
* Male
*Female
"There is a third option but I wasn't sure if you wanted it. The way it was described to me after countless requests is that it's the best of both worlds. What they meant I have no clue. As a being of energy I have no defined form or gender."
"Is that why you sound androgynous with a ball of energy for a body?"
"Yes and for most I appeared as a woman. I have no clue as to why."
I made my choice and chose Male. Afterwards I started to scroll through the races. With every race there were various sub races. Then I came across humans and the selection for humans I found only bloodlines.
"Why are humans different than the other races?"
"Well, besides their ability to adapt they also contain the potential to evolve into any other creature of the cosmos as they get stronger, but like you can see it depends on the bloodline they have."
After hearing that I kept scrolling through the bloodlines for humans and then chanced upon "Bloodline: Unknown" and curiosity got the better of me and I selected that one. After I made that choice I then began to scroll through appearance.
- Appearance
* Disgusting
* Ugly
* Weird
* Average
* Above Average
* Handsome
* Casanova
* Xianxia Villain
* God-Like
I clicked on the description of God-Like. "With this selection you are guaranteed to the most handsome or beautiful Lad or Lass around. With this choice even gods and goddesses could potentially feel jealousy". I chose God-Like cause who wouldn't want to be one of the most handsome men around, though the part about gods and goddesses getting jealous sounds like a recipe for disaster. Oh well I made my bed and now I should lie in it. Onto the next one. Next was Classes and I got excited. There was a note attached and it said whatever class I choose would give me a random class associated with it and there was potential to get a rare or hidden class. The caveat is that I won't know what class I will have till I reincarnate.
- Classes
*Light Aligned
*Chaos Aligned
Honestly chaos didn't even appeal to me. It sounded like I would be going through hell (Literally) and so I chose light and then a menu popped up.
- Light Alignment based Classes
* Warrior: A being who fights with ferocity and honor using Anger or Faith as fuel to keep up the fight. This class and others like it are primarily a physical class with emphasis on heads on confrontation.
* Thief: One who hides in the dark running off with either riches of their victims or an expert in traps. This class primarily is a hybrid between speed and strength for the battlefield.
* Assassin: a being who hides in the shadows, cannot be be seen through regular means and carries out silent but deadly strikes that ends a fight before the other party notices. This class is primarily a speed type and uses moonlight or illusions magic to blend into the environment without being caught as they carry out tasks or contracts.
* Mage: A being of thought and inquisitive thinking. Always seeking new knowledge and generally are masters of their craft. These beings use intellect and mana on the battlefield as they overpower their enemies with Spells. Beware though, they have a very weak constitution as they never train their bodies and only their minds. This makes them know as glass cannons, low defense but high magical attack power.
* Priest: This is a person of unwavering faith in their patron god. These people are experts in healing and support spells. They are vital to any party, army, and kingdom depending on their prowess as a Support class.
* Mage-Knight: This class uses spells and swords as they tear their way through the battlefield or dungeon. A person who is skilled in both magic and sword can be such a being and they either use enhancment spells on themsselves or use offensive spells. Though due to the unique nature of this class it is known as a Jack of all Trades.
* Guardian: This is a warrior who heavily focuses on using their shield and body as a line of defense. Those who have this class have bodies that can withstand immense pain but with a trade off of low attack power.
After reading through every class I decided what I wanted. I selected Warrior due to the idea of being physically powerful. Though I wonder what version of the class I will get when I reincarnate, I can't wait. Then I finally realized I ended up at Abilities. Now this isn't in any way related to the class, these are abilities that are unique and can't be attained unless granted by a god through a blessing. Now for this I chose random because there were so many I couldn't make a choice so when I awake I will have 3 abilities granted randomly.
"I see that you are finished, are you ready to go? Firstly though I will warn you that your memories of our encounter will be sealed away."
It seems as if she has chosen where I will be reincarnated to. Then I began to feel a slight tug.
"I was wondering, will I ever see you again?"
I felt it look at me deeply and I could swear I thought I saw a smile.
"Perhaps, I'll leave it as a surprise."
"Do you have a name before I go?"
"I haven't a clue, why don't you give me one?"
I began to feel the pull on me get stronger as I contemplated a possible name and before I disappeared it came to me and I yelled out.
"Hestia!"
The surroundings glowed brighter and my eyes began to close. Before I passed out I saw an extremely beautiful smile, too bad I won't remember this.
