~ Chapter 11: The High Priest ~
While being carried by our parents, we entered the church. The inside was just as impressive as the outside. There was a big statue of the goddess Sapherya at the other side of the room. In front of it were countless rows of benches for the pious believers who came to pray. Both to the left and to the right were several smaller statues of the other gods in the pantheon of this world.
We didn't move from the door, and not long afterwards, a priest similar to those outside came over to greet us.
~ Chapter 10: The Church of the Goddess ~
The age of a three-years-old was a magical one for any boy or girl living in this kingdom, which name I had yet to learn. Or maybe when mother told us the name, it entered through one ear and flew out the other, leaving nothing behind, not even an echo.
Anyway, this age could be summarized through one major event: the visit to the church in order to be baptized in the name of the Goddess of Love and Creation Sapherya.
Out of curiosity, I asked mother once if that was her full name.
~ Chapter 9: The Skills of a ‘baby monster’ ~
After I reached the age of 1, my Telekinetic power started to kick in. I discovered this when I accidentally stopped a very 'dangerous' blouse from falling on top of my little sister while she was crawling around on the floor.
To be fair, I thought it was something far heavier, spiky, and... explosive. The flowery pattern should have been a clear sign that it was not an item of such... characteristics. Even so, I was thankful for this silly event that went completely unnoticed by Cassandra.
~ Chapter 8: A new life. A new family. ~
Because of my many accidents back on Earth, I often found myself scrolling through numerous medical articles or research papers on various subjects. Not that I understood a great deal from them, but like any other patient lying on a bed in a hospital, I was concerned with whether or not the injuries I suffered were going to have any lasting effects. This and the fact that I had a lot of free time were the main two reasons.
~ Chapter 7: The details of my new life ~
All that was left to do now was to choose my new life and have another take at my abilities, but to be honest, while I had some ideas about that last part, nothing crossed my mind for the first one.
“So... a family...” I said as I pondered about what I wanted.
This was the eight time already when I repeated myself. Some of the gods returned to playing board games and doing other stuff until I made up my mind. The only one who HAD to pay attention all the time was Sapherya.
~ Chapter 6: My type of world ~
The world I wanted to go to, eh?
Normally, that was a rather difficult question to answer, one that wasn't supposed to be taken lightly. Given the diversity of all of these gods in front of me and having seen at least one Fantasy and Sci-Fi movie in my life, I had a general idea of what I didn't want to encounter. I wasn't unfamiliar with games or written stories of these genres either. Hospital life can get very boring very fast.
~ Chapter 5: Gifts ~
This was an unexpected turn of events. Initially, I thought they were just going to send me off to the afterlife without troubling themselves to see this through. Thinking about it, reincarnation or a straight ticket on the Heaven or Hell express was the only end for me given my current no-body situation. However, what truly came as a surprise was the gods telling me I was granted the power to customize my next life on top of receiving some blessings from them.
Thus, I began to seriously think about what I wanted them to offer me.
~ Chapter 4: The apology of the 118 gods ~
There was nothing that could be done now after my body had been turned to dust alongside all those unfortunate people who had the bad luck of being near me at that time. As for the ones responsible for this whole mess, they did say they were going to reflect upon it, but I had my doubts because those were some rater insane ways to take out someone, no matter their sin. Besides, I was a human... there were far more simpler ways to kill me than dropping a meteor or nuke on top of my head.
~ Chapter 3: Cause of death ~
Long story short, my current situation was nothing but the result of the actions of the first few idiot kings who summoned me. But as luck would have it, by denying my right to take upon the mantle of a hero in their world, they not only managed to annoy me but also all of these 118 gods and goddesses as well. I had a feeling Divine Wrath might need a new definition after this.
“The reason we obliterated your body and called you here was to fix your current predicament...” Sapherya said with a wry smile.
~ Chapter 2: Never-ending summons ~
Well... it took them a while to calm down their hysterical laughter. Sapherya, I sincerely apologize! It wasn't my intention to make a joke out of your name! I thought while trying to hide from her glare.
I couldn't decide if she was cute with her puffed up cheeks or scary.
~ Chapter 1: The 118 gods ~
That strange beautiful woman wasn't the only one who appeared in this weird place. Right beside her were countless other people. Each and every one of them was at the peak of their natural beauty and wore strange vestments the likes of which I would only see at a Cosplay Con. If my eyes weren't deceiving me, then some of these fellows actually had horns, tails, scales, or other weird appendages and body features you wouldn't normally find in a human. There were two that even looked like the stereotypical representations of an Angel and a Demon.
~ Prologue ~
And so... I died... again...
As I gazed at the swirling white energy around me, I felt it pulling me through the cracks of reality and dragging me into the void between universes. Like a whirlpool of chaotic lightning, it flowed through and around me, yet no matter how relentless it was in striking my soul, I felt neither pain nor fear of it. By now, such a scene was... familiar to me.
