2 A Godly beginning (1)

"I am Xaros, God of Despair in this world."

"A God you say... Well then 'God' , what am I doing here ?"

"You're here to begin something interesting Reyn Kirae. As you know already, you died by your own hands, but you are still annoyed by it and your previous life, right ?"

"I... can't deny it."

"You know , as a God in this new world you're in, I have the same feeling. I can do nothing except watch the various races do their everyday life."

"Various races ? Like a game or whatever ?"

"Yes, you'll understand soon enough, but you are not in your old annoying world 'for you' anymore."

"And ? What can I do then ?"

"I will give you entertainment Reyn, I'll become a part of you and you will entertain me as well."

"Umm... You really sound like a Devil , you sure you're a God ? Don't you want my soul by the way ? You can take it , I was already killing myself back then so..."

"Ah- I am a real God , how rude ! And I am drowning in boredom too you know , I've been here , alone , watching since I was born for 3000 years !"

I laugh a little and finally decide to 'accept' the fact for now , after all , I'm supposed to be dead so Devil or God , I don't really care.

"3000 Years ago ? Gods can be born ?"

"In your old world no , but in this one yes. The first Gods in this world known as the 10 True Gods were born by the collision of two magical energies ; A Life one and a Death one.

The Mana being condensed in massive quantity created the first Gods.

Godess of Life ; Filia

Godess of Love ; Scynthia

God of Games and Play ; Kram

Godess of Emotions ; Mylia

God of Nature ; Kirk

God of War ; Jack

Godess of Law ; Mil

Godess of Light ; Flami

God of Darkness ; Lockon

And God of Death ; Menos.

Of course , the Godess of Life and the God of Death held tremendous power compared to the others since they were born from the magic element itself."

"So, what happened to cause less powerfull Gods to appear ? Did they just say 'Well, that's too much bother to do all of our jobs so they will be our assistants ?'

"Of course not. The cause is a Holy War."

"A Holy War ?"

"Yes. The God of Death Menos who was the only one with the power to create everything from nothing was in disaccord with Filia Godess of Life.

Filia wanted humans to live by themselves while Menos wanted Elves, Dwarves and other semi-humans to live together in peace."

"That's some absurd thinking for a Godess who rules over Life..."

"Well, Menos thought the same and started a war against her.

It was 8 Gods against 2, Menos was only accompanied by Lockon God of Darkness.

The other Gods allied against them just by fear of Menos's power and the war broke out.

Skies turned black for 2 years and already one True God had died before Filia had the idea to summon a hero."

"A hero ?"

"Yeah, just like you who was summoned here."

"Then, am I a hero ?"

"Pff, of course not. You'll be more like a God or semi-God with me."

"Oh ok- Oi, what did you say ?"

"Anyway! The only hero summoned in this world was given power directly by Filia and a little bit by everyone else to match the power of a God and replace the already dead one.

Then , they all went against Lockon and Menos and the war finished with an enormous amount of casualtie and only 4 Gods survived the war; Kram,Mylia,Flami and Scynthia.

Because of the war , humans finally made peace with the other races and lived happily , but the huge amount of Mana released by 6 True Gods collided again and created evil races like goblins , orcs , undeads and among them , new Gods were born.

But the True Gods made an agreement among all the Gods ; They will never interfere with the world anymore except for little miracles and benedictions to some chosen , Gods cannot descend anymore on the world."

"Geez , I didn't want to hear a history lesson.

So , I get it , but , why am I here ?"

"If you let me merge with you to make something fun of my life , you could do whatever you want in the mortal world."

"So you're basically gonna break the rules you just told me, right ?

"Basically , yes. I don't have anything to do since I'm the Despair God and have just a few believers , besides , other Gods don't have to know it."

"Well , if it doesn't bother too much , then you can merge with me."

"You're not freaked out ?"

"You could have taken my soul away a long time ago and I still wouldn't have done anything to stop you so hurry up."

"Excellent."

At that moment , a little pain was felt inside my body , but nothing more than a pinch.

The pain still forced me to close my eyes though , and when I felt nothing anymore ;

"It's done."

As I open my eyes with a little tickling in the right one , for the first time , I see something in this white place.

A boy , around my age with white hair and white-blueish eyes standing in front of me. He looks human at first but there are clearly non-human parts, a pair of black horns on each of his head sides.

"You seem surprised..?"

"Ah, you could tell ? Well, I am surprised since I only heard a voice until now and then someone with a strange look is talking to me."

"You say 'strange' but you're pretty much the same , though you are even weirder than me."

"I'm pretty much the same ?"

"Here, take a mirror."

The man, Xaros handed me a mirror the size of my hand, and when I noticed, I looked even further in the image.

White hair, but only on my right side while blending with my black hair in the middle and ending black on the left side.

Also, as I felt something in it earlier , my right iris completely turned white with a small glimpse of blue , a color that should not exist on Earth.

While looking at that eye, I also noticed a black thing on my head, when I wondered what it was and looked at it I saw a horn. Not two like Mr.Call-Me-God Xaros, but only one, however, unlike his, mine was not entirely black. A small shining of gold could be seen and unlike Xaros who had them shaped straight, curving at the end, mine was more shaped like a ram's and curved until reaching next to my right eye only to stretch in the air straight and clean at the end.

"That was slightly unexpected to see you with a horn like that though."

"Why?"

"Well, normally you would have the same as mine but your's is some beautiful thing too."

"I'll take the compliment but don't expect me to give it to you. It sounds painful."

"I didn't say I wanted it...

So, for now I'll check your abilities."

"Oh, you can do that too ?"

"Of course, since now I live in you it's onl--"

Xaros who seemed surprised when he looked at my horn was now looking me with stupor while I thought he could fall to his knees at any moment now.

"Oi, what are you terrified of Xaros ?"

"...It isn't terror, but more like amazement."

"Wh-?"

"I am unsure to say how, but it seems you have a power that equals a True God , maybe the same power of The Creator God."

"Do I have the same magic power as Filia ?"

"You could say that. But you seem to have obtained the power of Menos God of Death."

Xaros's voice could be heard trembling a little. Either he's petrified or very entertained right now.

"The power to create everything from nothing stuff?"

"Exactly."

{Well, I still don't know what that is though...}

"It is a power where you can create everything you want just by imagination or saying a word."

"Oh ok- Did you read in my thoughts just now ?!"

"You looked puzzled so yes."

"I don't even have an expression right now !"

"Well, we 'live' now in the same body , so it's only natural to do that , also , when I'm not in physical or spirit form , you won't have your horn showing up as well as your white hair and eye , so it's better to practice it if you don't want to be caught."
