I found myself in the weirdest spot ever. Seriously, picture this: I'm standing in what looks like the middle of outer space, watching the universe do its thing—stars being born, galaxies swirling around like they're late for a cosmic dance party, you name it. But wait, it gets even crazier.
Out of nowhere, three beings pop out of the fabric of space. And I'm not talking about your average, run-of-the-mill aliens here. These guys were the size of freakin' planets! I mean, talk about making an entrance.
But here's the kicker—they start shrinking. And I don't mean like, "Oops, I washed my favorite hoodie on hot and now it fits my cat." I mean they're going from cosmic giants to, well, regular ol' human-sized beings. And let me tell you, they were anything but regular.
These dudes—or whatever you wanna call them—had no facial features. None. Zip. Nada. Just smooth, featureless surfaces staring back at me. And here I am, thinking, "Okay, Kaelin, you've faced down demon kings and saved the world a few times. How hard could it be to chat with a couple of giant, faceless space beings?"
Now, I'm no genius, but even I can tell when I'm outmatched. These guys were powerful. Like, way more powerful than I could even wrap my head around. But hey, who's afraid of a little death and destruction? Not this guy. I've laughed in the face of danger so many times, it's practically become my signature move.
So there I am, standing in the middle of cosmic nowhere, cracking jokes and shooting the breeze with these giant blobs of cosmic energy. And you know what? They're actually kinda cool once you get past the whole "no-face" thing.
Who knows what cosmic shenanigans are in store for me next? But one thing's for sure: Kaelin Godfrey doesn't back down from a challenge—especially when it comes with a side of intergalactic weirdness.
The one in the middle finally spoke, and let me tell you, the voice was like thunder mixed with smooth jazz. "We are the primordial entities of this multiverse," it said. "I am Fate." Okay, cool, introducing yourself first—nice power move. Then the other two chimed in: one called itself Chaos, and the other was Eternity.
The minute I heard Fate's name, my brain couldn't help but serve up that classic line everyone loves to hate: "Fate is a bitch." But hey, now that I'm literally face-to-faceless with Fate, I guess I should revise my stance. Fate's not a bitch—Fate's a giant cosmic entity that can probably squash me like a bug. Gotta respect that.
Apparently, though, these guys could read minds. Fantastic. Fate commented, "Mortals do have unique thoughts, but I guess you are different."
What do you even say to that? I mean, am I supposed to be flattered or terrified? So, I just went with my gut, like always. "I guess I'm born different," I replied, trying to sound nonchalant. Inside, I was freaking out a bit, but outwardly, I was cool as a cucumber. Or at least, I hoped I was.
Chaos was over there, looking like it wanted to start a cosmic bar fight, and Eternity seemed like the chill one who's seen it all and just wants to take a nap. And here I am, Kaelin Godfrey, hero of questionable luck, chatting it up with the cosmic bigwigs.
Honestly, if someone had told me I'd end up here, I'd have laughed in their face. But here I am, and you know what? This might just be another chapter in the wild, unpredictable book of my life. Bring it on, Fate, Chaos, Eternity—let's see what you've got.
Fate looks at me—or at least, I think she's looking at me since, you know, no face—and says, "You should have lived much longer, but due to some error on my part, you passed away. Usually, I'd ignore it, but you're interesting, so I've called you here to reincarnate in another sector."
Well, okay then. An error from Fate. That's not terrifying at all.
Then Chaos chimes in, "I had to come too because of my interest, so I will offer you one wish. It can be anything you desire."
And if that wasn't enough, Eternity pipes up, "You can have one wish from my side as well. It can be anything you wish."
So, let me get this straight. I'm dead, chatting with the big three cosmic entities, and now I get not one, but two wishes. I mean, what kind of luck do I have? Here I was, minding my own business, being dead and all, and now I've got the cosmic version of a genie in a bottle situation.
And let's be honest, an error from Fate sounds like the kind of thing you'd hear in a divine sitcom. "Oops, my bad, you're dead now." Sure, why not?
I'm not sad, though. I'd already accepted my death with the grace and style you'd expect from someone who laughs in the face of danger (and sometimes death). But hey, a continuation of my journey? Sign me up.
So there I am, standing in what can only be described as the cosmic DMV, thinking about what to wish for. I've got two wishes to use, and the possibilities are endless. Should I wish for unlimited power? Nah, too cliché. Immortality? Been there, done that (sort of). A never-ending supply of those amazing pastries from that bakery in Lunaris? Tempting, but maybe not quite epic enough.
And as I'm pondering, I realize, why am I overthinking this? This is Kaelin Godfrey's second chance at life we're talking about! Time to have some fun and maybe even make the cosmos a bit more interesting while I'm at it.
So, I take a deep breath—well, a figurative one, since I'm kind of a spirit at the moment—and say, "Alright, here's what I want..."
"My first wish is to keep all my memories because, let's face it, they make me who I am. I want to live as myself in my next life." I paused for dramatic effect, feeling pretty clever. "And before I make my second wish, I need to know where you'll reincarnate me. My second wish kinda depends on that."
Eternity, in all her timeless wisdom, replied, "You will reincarnate in a modern world where there is no magic. Major factors in this world depend on fame, money, and power."
Great, so I'm heading to a world where people care more about followers than magic spells. Not exactly what I had in mind, but hey, let's roll with it.
"Alright," I said, gearing up for my big moment. "My second wish is to have a special entity helping me achieve all the fame, money, and power in this new world." Because, you know, when in Rome... or, in this case, the modern non-magical world.
The cosmic trio exchanged glances. Chaos, being the wildcard, burst into laughter. "Do you just wish to keep your memories? That's too petty of me to grant. Here, take a special bonus. You'll find out what it is after you reincarnate."
Eternity, ever the enigma, nodded. "I have also granted your wish. You will know what it is in your new life."
Fate, always the one to wrap things up neatly, simply said, "I hope you are now ready."
And with that, the mystic light from Fate, Eternity, and Chaos converged and entered my body. It felt like a cosmic light show with me as the centerpiece. Slowly, my consciousness began to fade.
As the world around me dimmed, I couldn't help but think about what this "special bonus" could be. A sidekick? A cosmic cheat code? An endless supply of pizza? Whatever it was, I knew one thing for sure: Kaelin Godfrey was about to take the modern world by storm, with a little help from his cosmic friends.
I drifted off, my thoughts a jumble of excitement and curiosity, ready for whatever this new life had in store. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the journey is always more interesting than the destination. And boy, was I in for one heck of a ride.
**Fate's POV:**
As Kaelin's consciousness faded away, I turned to Eternity and couldn't hold back any longer. "It's because of you that I had to lie to him! Why did you have to be so bored that you randomly threw your blessing at him? And it had to land on him, of all people!"
Eternity just stood there, looking like a child caught with their hand in the cosmic cookie jar. I continued, frustration boiling over. "I've already reincarnated him before, using the same lie about an 'error on my part.' But I can't make errors! I have a clean record! This entire situation is a mess, and now it's your fault, Eternity. And you, Chaos, do you think this is fun? Joining in this time, stirring the pot?"
I glared at Chaos, who seemed to find this whole situation amusing. My frustration only grew as I watched Eternity slip further into self-blame and regret, leaving me to deal with the fallout of their recklessness.
**Eternity's POV:**
As Fate's words echoed in the void, I couldn't help but feel the weight of my actions. Why did I have to be so impulsive, so careless? My mind drifted back to that dark period in my past when I carelessly scattered blessings like seeds in the wind. Even a minor god's blessing could turn someone's life upside down, but my blessing? It had granted Kaelin properties of eternity itself.
I looked down at my hands, the same hands that had thrown his fate into chaos. The guilt was overwhelming. "I never meant for this to happen," I muttered, more to myself than to anyone else. "I was just... bored. But boredom is no excuse for such recklessness."
Chaos's laughter rang in my ears, a stark contrast to the remorse I felt. I knew that Fate had every right to be angry, and Chaos's amusement only deepened my regret. I had to find a way to make this right, to atone for my mistakes, but how? The threads of destiny were tangled beyond recognition.
**Chaos's POV:**
This was priceless. Watching Fate's meticulously controlled demeanor crack and seeing Eternity wallow in self-blame? It was the best entertainment I'd had in eons.
I couldn't help but laugh. "This is fantastic! Fate, so uptight and perfect, now dealing with a 'mistake,' and Eternity, ever so regretful. You two are a riot!"
Fate's glare could have melted stars, but I just smiled wider. "Come on, Fate, loosen up a bit. Isn't this what makes existence interesting? The unpredictability, the chaos? You know, shaking things up a bit?"
Eternity was still brooding, and I gave them a playful nudge. "Oh, lighten up, Eternity. So what if you threw a major blessing at him? Look at the bright side! We've got front-row seats to the most unpredictable show in the multiverse. And who knows? Maybe Kaelin's new journey will be even more interesting than the last."
I watched them both, enjoying the mix of frustration and regret. It wasn't often I got to see the cosmic bigwigs out of their comfort zones, and I intended to savor every moment of it.
