"-OO! Huh" Looking around me, I began to notice a few changes. I am no longer in Gods' palace, and am now in a dark room. Now that I'm here, sadly, it seems to be true. I'm a child again. Even worse still, it seems I'm a newborn. I can't move my body out of this blanket, and all I seem to be uttering are quiet mewls. Why did they have to put me in a newborns' body? God could have surely put me in a more mature one.
"Yeah, not really."
As I hear a voice speak to me, 'POOF', it appears in front of me, an angel. He seems to be suspended in the air, his two, pure white wings unmoving. A muscular, yet toned, tanned body that was being covered by a seemingly casual outfit. Strangely enough, he seems to be wearing a tracksuit.
"Hey. I know I look pretty good, but can you stop gawkin'." the angel spoke. 'I apologize, I just didn't think my guide would be an angel. I just don't remember it being mentioned.' I responded.
"Yeah, I didn't want to either, but those two old hoots wanted me to do something. They said that this would "help my reputation" or something like that. Anyway, the names Barachiel." he stated. In thought, I began to recall what I had read about this angel. He was supposed to help the 'adopted children of God' in the church. Along with helping these children, he would supposedly cause miracles that would be more like pranks. An angel of laughter, as many mentioned. Yet, he doesn't seem very humorous to me. He seems like more of a grouch.
"You know I can hear everything you're thinking, right. I'm connected to the spirit God granted you." the angel said facetiously, then told me, "while I am known as the Angel of laughter to some, that doesn't apply to some ex-cardinal like you."
Well it seems this isn't going to be a very fruitful companionship. 'At least tell me why I was reincarnated as a child, and how to access the spirit God gave me.' In response, he told me, "You see, the Lord didn't have enough time to tell you everything you needed to know about this world. So, he made you a child. While you are growing up, you can learn all about this world and its customs from your parents. Something that you didn't get to experience before. He seems to care greatly about you."
After hearing what Barachiel just told me, I couldn't help but think about my life back on Earth. Soon though, I had a thought cross my mind that was strange. 'Why does God want me to grow attached to this place if my mission is to destroy it?'
"God doesn't want you to destroy this place. I have no clue how you got to that conclusion, but he wants you to save it. When he "banished" all the magical races from Earth, not all of them were rebellious. In fact, some of them were very close to God. That's why he created this realm. It's not truly a place of exile, but a world of their own. Sadly, many don't see it that way. Especially the more powerful beings." responded Barachiel.
Weirdly enough, it sounded like he felt bad for these people. When I began to want to ask him about it, he interjected "This was all a long time ago, you don't need to know anything more about it. To answer you're other question, you can access the spirit window just by thinking of it ."
As I began to think of it, a small, transparent screen appeared in front of me. This screen proceeded to speak in an almost robotic voice.
[Hello, Host. This is your gift from God. I have been adjusted to fit your needs on this journey you shall take. Below you will find a layout of tabs that you will find helpful.
{Messages} - (1 New Message)
{Soul Status} -
{Physical Status} -
{Inventory} - ]
As I began to look at the available tabs, one started to blink repeatedly. When I began to think of the blinking tab, it opened up, and a voice began to speak, "Hello again Luke, as you should be able to tell, this is the son. As you should already know, you have been reincarnated as a child. There is a good reason to this, as I believe your guide should have explained already. You should already know that your soul is strong, but Earth has limitations so that it can't grow too powerful. Now that your not on Earth, you can begin to empower it through greater means. Due to your new environment, we couldn't put you into a human body, lest you stand out. So, we put your soul into a body that will ease your journey. If you check your physical status tab, you will see what I am talking about. Now that concludes our short message, but remember, we will always look over you. If you have any questions, Barachiel is contracted to you now, so he has to tell you the truth, as long as he wants to. Goodbye for now."
After hearing the message from the Lord, I went to check the physical status tab.
[Back - Physical Status -
Name: Luke S/O Azazel
Lineage: Fallen Angels' Descendant
Strength->Str: 0.1
Speed->Spd: 0.1
Durability->Dry: 0.1

Honestly, I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. That's for sure. After reading it over I began to ask Barachiel what a Fallen Angels' Descendant is. "A fallen angel is an angel that defected from God long ago. When they left God, their souls' structure changed rapidly, causing them to lose parts of themselves. This rapid change in their souls' also caused their physical forms to shift, causing them to turn into what their mind was set on at the time. This change of theirs' can be changed at will though, so don't expect to see massive deformed creatures. That is, unless you push them into a corner."
'Does that mean that I will turn into a deformed creature as well?' After hearing my question, Barachiel responded, "You don't have to worry about that. Your soul is of a human, and contains human properties. That means that when you gain your spiritual form, you will be mostly human."
'And what do you mean, mostly human?"
"As I said, it will be mostly human because normal humans don't have a spirit form. Their physical form, is their souls representation. You, on the other hand, will get a spiritual form due to your existence in this world. Before you ask though, this new form won't be gained for quite a while. So, grow up and learn what you can here from your parents."
'Now that its been mentioned, who are my parents?'
"If you wait a little while, they will come to you in the morning. They are both sleeping in the other room. And just for your information, you're something like an aristocrat in this world. So, I hope you didn't want to keep a low profile."
As good as being an aristocrat sounds, I bet it will be a pain in the future. Now that I think about it, I have to check my spirits other tab.
[Back - Soul Status -
Name: Luke
Soul Type: Human
Soul Color: White
Soul Rank: Jasper (Red)
Soul Power: 1

'Looking at my status, I have a few questions. Can you tell me why my soul rank and color are different. I thought that they were the same?'
"In this world the ranks and colors of the soul work towards the same goal. The color of the soul tells you the speed at which it can grow, as well as what makes it grow. Soul rank is the overall power of it. This world has 12 different ranks for souls, the lowest being Jasper. Overtime you will see how they work, but for right now, you need to focus on your physical body. I can see you're growing tired. No need to worry. Your just a baby right now." Barachiel said with a sardonic smile.
'He was right. My eyes are becoming unfocused, and my mind is growing foggy.' As I was thinking that, everything well null, and I went to sleep.
"He is going to be a fun guy to watch over. I am starting to see why you two old hoots sent me to this God forsaken realm." As he spoke, a second voice that only Barachiel could hear said, "We already knew that you would think that. We just hope he can live a good life here. If he ultimately does solve our problem, then that would be even better. Now, we are off. The Earth realm is growing more unstable, and the rebellious are becoming restless. You will stay here and help Luke with anything you can, Understood."
"Yes, Sir." Barachiel replied. "Then we will be off" The son said, and the interaction was over.
"Darn those old hoots, sticking me to play with kids. Especially in this horrid realm." Barachiel began to look towards Luke, "And you kid. Even though I hate working, I hope you can help this realm. You may even help the humans on Earth. Well, Only God knows.
