" Why am I alive? " I asked the goddess who size is so huge, that not even the tallest mountains could hide her size. As she chuckles, snapping her fingers as the scenery changed once more.
" That is a question that will be answered later, why don't we get to know each other first? " The goddess shrunk her size to that of a mortal women, as a crystal clear circular table appears in front of me. The ground turn into smooth white tiles, as stone pillars shot from the ground.
As the bright golden sky turn into the normal blue sky, as the goddess sat in front of me. Pointing at the chair, as I followed her action.
Still confused as small cups with green tea inside them, appeared in front of us.
Taking a sip, as I stare at her in confusion. I don't care that a goddess is in front of me, all I want to know why is that I'm alive. That's the most important thing, and if I'm alive. That means she wants something from me!
" You're not wrong mortal, I do want something from you~ " The goddess said as I raised my eyebrows.
" How did you kn- " I got cut of by the goddess.
" I'm a god, we can read minds from entertaining mortals like yourself if we want to~ " She sipped her tea, as I gripped my hands.
" ... " I could only watch her sip her tea….. as the goddess sigh.
" You really not a talker huh? " The goddess pouted as her ocean blue eyes scanned myself, as I felt myself almost being entrance.
" I guess we could get straight to business~ "
The tea in her hand disappeared as she placed her chin on her left palm.
" Go ask your questions mortal " The goddess said.
" Why am I alive? What do want from me?? Where is this place?! Why did you show yourself to me! " I unloaded lots of questions as she smiled.
" Slow down their mortal, I'll answer them one at a time. Let's start with the first one shall we? You see…. You dying is not what I planned to be honest " The goddess said.
" What do you mean by that? " I asked as the goddess tapped her finger on the table, as a projection like image shot out of it.
" You see, between you and your brother. And the actions that was occurred with the church of light, it was supposed to be a simple you aiding them to defeat that worlds demon king. But since I didn't think those fanatics would take their faith seriously, to the point they will do what they did to those innocent people. It brought upon a sudden change to the worlds plot " A image of what was supposed to happen, where both me and my older brother is being celebrated from defeating the demon king.
As humanity praised us as heroes, as the images slowly turn corrupted. Now showing both me and my brother dead, as the demon king march upon the planets surface. Killing all life with an iron first as blood and fire covered the entire planet.
" The hell?! " I said in shock, as while I think the church bastards deserve what they got. I never wanted those innocent people to die!.
" Us gods, are tasked in creating stories. These stories has already planted plots on the planets creation and its habitants. In doing so, we made certain beings main characters that will ether save the world or destroy it. With the rare exceptions of them being neutral in conflicts or wanting peace "
The goddess showed many planets with different people, some heroic like and others the villains.
" These stories are made to satisfy our creator, you can called it the Almighty. As this omnipotent being has no name and no form, a deity that seeks no care of what we gods do in its creation of the multiverse. As long as we satisfies its own existence, we all won't die "
A cripted image of the so called Almighty, which was a very transparent human shaped imagery that glitch. Due to it having no fix form, as I focused on the fact at hand.
" What does all this have to do with me being alive? " While it's shocking that our lives were made up just to satisfy an all powerful entity, I need to know my purpose of being here. I just wanted to rest, wanting to come in peace with myself after what I had experienced.
" In simpler terms, the entity is dissatisfied in how your story ended. Since out of the two you, you the younger brother was supposed to be the main character. While your older brother was the side kick, but gods know what an enigma happened and that switch around. Your fates changed, and the plot altered in a bad ending " The goddess stood up from the table, as she beckon for me to follow her.
" The almighty wanted to release his anger upon this universe, as it itself hates dumb bad endings. Which is why, us gods do our best to not make the stores too complex so the ending could be good and smoothly paced. Look over here " The goddess stopped as I look over her shoulder, too see all the people that I knew. My brother, my friends, my loved ones.
" this is?!….. " I gasped in shock.
" This is the afterlife, a place where dead souls end up in. Unlike some beliefs like those from the church in your world, the afterlife is not a paradise. But a place where souls are recycle and placed in new words, as brand new characters with their past life's experience gone for good " my brother turned into that of powerful mage, while some of friends turn into teachers, knights, whatever you can think of. As tears escaped my eyes, it's not that I feel pity or sad that those I know will never remember their past experiences or past lives.
It's something much more than that, something raw and powerful….. as I looked at a certain person….. my wife. The goddess stares at her, as she made her image more bigger than the others as I went on my knees. Forget knowing why I'm alive and all those bullshit stuff, I reach towards her kind gentle face.
" Amelia-! " I called her name but she can't hear my voice, the memories I had with her. The days were it was peaceful and the church intentions and corruption was not showing outside of itself. The loving women that holds my heart tightly, as the goddess placed a hand on her hip.
" You can be assured that the enigma that happened in your world, that cause these people's life to be unfair and cruel. Will never happened again, I promise you that at least "
The goddess pushed her image away as she gave me some time, to collect myself.
" Ok…. I'm done…. Now what? " turning my head towards the goddess who reach her hand towards me.
" I want you to reincarnate in a different world, a world plague with corruption. In that world, I want you to stop it from spreading into different stories " Her hand glowed as a blue and green planet appeared in the middle of her palm.
" If you were to do this for me, not only will the almighty will not destroy this universe. Which I can't even stop which will undoubtedly cause harm to your loved ones, your older brother…. Your own loving wife. I can let you travel to her world, to reuinite with her once more….. will you do it? " the goddess game me an option, as I closed my eyes. Memories resurfaced as I clutched my hands tightly.
( PAST EVENTS!!!)
" Honey….. what would happened if I would had die all of suddenly? " My wife innocently asked as I spit out my coffe, as I look at her strangely.
" What kind of question is that?!?! " I said in shock as my wife giggles at my expression, twirling around in our small cabin in the woods.
" C'mon answer! " she smiled as I sighed, a smile escaping from my lips.
" If you were to die, I would go up to the afterlife myself and bring you back down with me! " I shouted with conviction, as I would go hell and back for my loving wife who chuckles. Wrapping her hands around my arm as she pulled me off the chair, pulling me on my feet as she gave me a kiss on the lips.
" If so, make sure you do it in blaze and glory my shining knight in armor!~ " Her face gleamed in cuteness, as I tilted my head. Placing her hands into my mines, as I wrapped her in my arms.
" That I will do my beautiful queen~| " We dance and enjoyed our presence as my last peaceful memories ended here.
[ PAST EVENT ENDS]
" To be with her once more…. ILL DO ANYTHING!!!! " I said with a powerful voice as I will do whatever I need to do in achieving that goal.
" Than take my hand! And rise mortal, your journey will not end here. It's just the great beginning!!!! " The goddess smiled as I took her hand, as my body glowed with energy. As I felt myself being sucked into the planet as she said one final sentence.
" You are allowed to do whatever it takes to get rid of these corruptions! When you are in your new body, I'll gift you something to take care of them! " the goddess's said her final words, as I nodded; disappearing in one quick motion. As the only being was left there…. Was the goddess….
" Are you sure it's a good idea you're not telling the actual problem to him? What he will fight is not something that even the other gods could deal with, the horrors that parasite will inflict is not something he could handle "
A god clouded in black mist spoke in a emotionless voice, as the goddess eyes hold a stance.
" Don't worry….. the gift I sent him will make him all powerful, as long as he survives. Grow, gain powerful allies. Will make that beast suffer, and at that. Will also make the almighty satisfied at this new story that's about to commence " The goddess said as the god in black, only hummed as he disappeared back in her shadows.
