Chapter 2 - Birth of the miracle child

As Rex begins his descent upon the world of Gehenna at the peak of night time the world is engulfed in light so bright as if the sun has just risen. Noticing the strange phenomenon half the people on Gehenna are in awe while some are alarmed.

Noticing the light a man with hair as dark as the void itself speaks, "That is quite the strange development, one that I did not expect. Did you Vorathis?". "A strange development?! Do not get so drunk on power that is not yours Void! Gaelix rules over light which is strong enough to burn all of our plans."

"Well, If things went all according to plan it would be too boring now would it not? I can't help but fill my heart with joy with this opportunity test my strength. Things have finally gotten interesting."

9 months later:

A woman screams in agony as she is giving birth, "Just a bit more honey! Just a bit more!". "Shut up! You are not the one giving birth are you!!!" The husband keeps quite worrying about his wife.

As the woman is screaming she gives birth to a child not knowing how much he would change their lives. "Wow, so warm. Nothing can beat the coziness of a blanket in winter morning. Wait, Isn't it summer.". As Rex opens his eyes he notices his current condition and screams in disgust, "Ugh! Disgusting! Why the hell am I covered in all this blood?! Ahhhhh!! Oh right I died. Ah so that's why. But why the heck did you have to send this body at this time huh?!"

Rex continues scolding the goddess when he remembers how he felt sorry for the characters who had their bodies stolen from a stranger in webtoons and he thinks to himself, "I guess it is true that god does everything for the better. Now, won't have to live with the guilt of taking someone's life."

While Rex is in his world Elowen hugs him tightly, "Ah! My baby! My sweet sweet Baby! Garrick we should head to the temple now to ask the priest for a name."

"Calm down honey, It has been a while since the sun went down. Just rest for today we will head out for the temple tomorrow morning okay? Rest for now, I will bring you some food you will need it." 

Rex thinks to himself, "Such a loving couple maybe in this life I might feel the warmth of a family..." As soon as the sun's rays hit her eyes Elowen wakes up frantically, "Garrick! Garrick! Let's go the temple it might be packed let's go!"

"Honey, Why would the temple be packed and this early in the morning at that? You probably won't calm down unless we go there so let's go."

Garrick still not fully awake washes his face and heads to the temple. While walking to the temple Rex starts to observe his surroundings as this is the world where he might end up living for the rest of his life.

He sees a jeweler washing dirt off of his jewelry with air, A performer making circles with magic, a potter using clay that he lifts from the ground, with a smile Rex thinks, "As expected a reincarnation to a fantasy world is incomplete without magic. I wonder if I have any broken abilities. I must have been right those gods looked very strong except for that guy. I wonder what was wrong with him." not knowing what price the gods had to pay.

Entering the temple Rex sees the wounded being healed by the priest. "Good morning priest Fenric."

"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Weaver oh is this your child? I just saw you last week you were restless thinking about when the child might come out. You were here every week even when it was very hard for you. Your prayers were answered as God always does. So is it a girl or boy."

"He is a boy priest Fenric. We were hoping you would bestow him with a name as both my husband and I are illiterate we can't come up with a good name for him. We can pay you up to 10 copper coins. Please priest Fenric."

"Mrs.Weaver you don't need to do that. After what I saw what you went through for the birth of this child it would be a sin for me to take even a single coin from you let alone ten. Please you don't need to do that."

"Oh thank you Priest Fenric thank you so much my wife and I will never forget your kindness." "Yes, Priest Fenric thank you very much for showing such kindness towards us commoners. "

"Stop it Mr. and Mrs. Weaver as a servant of our god it is but a small matter after all as the sons and daughters of God we must help each other. Let's head to God's statue."

Rex notices how the statue of the god doesn't match with any of the gods he had seen before even remotely thinking to himself, "Well I guess it is normal for people to not see God so of course the statue doesn't match. But I wonder if the 3 gods are creators of my world as well, so how many gods are there if those 3 are not the creators of my world does Jesus exist? Yeah, let's not think too much I can probably get answers after everything is over, probably."

After reaching the statue the priest prays to God and asks to give a suitable name for the child and begins the ceremony of putting the child's legs on his head where God will deliver the child's name. 

As soon as he places the child's foot on his head his body starts to head up and begins to illuminate light big enough to cover the entire church. As if he is possessed the priest speaks with a different void GOD's voice, "ELARIC."
