God is dying
In a dark, wooden room lays a bed with an old male around 80 years of age tucked under the covers. His old bones rattle as the cold winter air flows through the cracked windows. CRASH , The old man sits up in a rapid pace unbefitting for his age.
"Wh- Who's there, .... hello?!"
He sits up feet on the ground now as he looks around the room. A high pitched whistle rings out from the behind the door. Slowly the man creeps up and slightly opens the door, looking though a small glowing orb catches his eye. Fwoosh.
"Ah fuck!!" the man proclaims as this orbs launches itself smashing into his face.
Star fished out on the floor
< Hello Sir, Sorry for the inconvenience but I'm going to need your help >
The man looks around dazed from the floor trying to figure out who said such a thing.
"Hello, who's there, its not nice to play these sort of tricks on the elderly you know"
< This is no trick sir, I'm in great need of some assistance >
"Show yourself, you dam whippersnapper, I'd be in my right mind to teach you some manners".
Right as he finished his words a pale blue screen illuminated his vision dazzling the man.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, you break into my home , hit me over the head, blind me and yet you have the gal to ask me for... assistance" as his eyes clear up he notices the screen infront of him "What are you. What do you want from me"
< Good evening sir. I am a Divine scout. God is dying, I have been tasked to find and nurture his replacement. With your advanced age I am certain your worldly knowledge will help you develop into a worthy God >
"You want me to be God?, you have got to be kidding me, I'm old and wrinkly, I've tried the better part of my life trying to become a transcendent and for what, I'm still a mortal after 60 years"
< That's okay sir, I will be here to guide you via specially curated tasks >
-Mission 1-
-Task-
Get 8 hours of rest

"Become 10 years younger, that's impossible, not even the transcendent can turn back time, the best they can do is prolong their lives"
< You aren't becoming a transcendent sir, I'm making you a god >
"This is a lot to take in ... what's your name?"
< I do not have a name, would you like to give me one? >
"It would be for the best is I had something to refer to you as... hmm I shall name you Scáthach"
< Scáthach , Famous for teaching great warriors in irish mythology, I am honoured to be bestowed such name >
"So Scáthach what should I do"
< Completed your task, now sleep >
As the final words uttered in his head, his eyes fell like thunderbolts as he fell on the floor fast asleep.
~ 8 hours later ~
A satisfying ding echoed through the elders head ,waking him from his dream. He rubs his head as he recollects the night before, walking over to his bathroom he gazes into the broken mirror.
"by the gods , I truly do look younger. Oh my , its back my lovely hair is back"
"Scáthach , I accept your mission , I'm willing to help you. You have given meaning to this old fools live once more. Please tell me how to help you"
< Good morning sir, I am elated you have decided to accept. I will continue to set you tasks, your goal is to complete these tasks. I am limited by god to only be able to give you divinities for completion of tasks >
"How difficult will these tasks be?"
< The difficulty will differ dependent on what class of godhood you reach. As of current you will be given missions to slowly make you timeless >
"Timeless? Like Immortal?"
< Timelessness is the first step to becoming god , in function it will remove constraints of time on your shell >
"This is magnificent , without time holding me back I could do anything. Is there anything I can do to speed up this process?"
< Certainly sir, You are entitled to opt into higher difficulty of tasks. Those tasks will gift you with purer divinities. You merely need to say " I wish to take on a harder task ". >
