1 The meeting
The god of Space let of a relieved sigh, and the reason for it is the handsome figure in front of him, the god of Death.
"It was about time that you show up; the eternity was a bit to long for my taste. Wait a little for now I'm calling the others to say goodbye and select my replacement". The god of Space then sends four transparent pigeons in four different portals. After that the Space god teleport alone to the middle of nowhere.
Almost immediately, trough the portal just done, four figures appear next to the god, the four remaining main gods.
"Why are you calling us and it had to be important enough to use the portal messenger" Ask the Earth god
"First of all, welcome to all of you, and also goodbye, because it's my time to rest, after an eternity of being a god, it's my time to step down and fuse with my concept"
After a minute of silence the four gods say in unison "So he came to you". They know that every time "he" appear, a god it's going to rest forever, a consciousness merge with the world that they are protecting and raising.
"So the mortal world can support the changes now, it will be fun to have a new variant after a long time; the winds of changes are blowing". Say a youth that appears to be floating in the air.
"Ohh, the merge of consciousness, so tell us Space, how do you want to be select your replacement as the main god, I hope it will be as heated as the last one".
Sob,sob… "So we a separating forever, we shouldn't make a parting party or something?" ask the last figure that was crying since Space god told the news.
"I don't need a party, but you can take the selection of my remaining seat as a party, with the same old rules, by "the game", you all were chosen the same way, and still the best way to go for me, and bring a new one. We should end here, I already fell "his" call next to me"
"So it's all decided, tell the news to the others and…"
"""""Lets the game begin"""""
****
Bang, bang, CHRASH
"Go watch the game in a bar they say…. It will be fun they say" you said while running.
There's bullets flying everywhere, a TV almost fell on you, but you manage to evade that, you ran for you live and jump to the window and…
"AHHH". Samuel just wakes up from a nightmare. "What a dream, every time my dreams become stranger and stranger". The youth just realized that he is not in his bedroom anymore, he only see darkness except for the lamp next to the snow white bed he is in.
"I'm not a lamp and that wasn't a dream"
"….whaa", after an hour long of curses and pleas, Samuel calm down to speak to the lamp.
"Again, not a lamp, I'm a god to you, now that you calm down you can ask and if I want I will respond", says the lamp.
"I'm dead"-"Yes"
"How I die?"-"The memories of a death are a painful thing to have, and with that memory you can see "him", the god of death, which it's not a bad think on its own, but if you see him as a mortal then you automatically die again, so for convenience, the reincarnated are erased of the memory of death"
"That was an awfully long think to say when you can simple said "it's for the best for you to not to know… ahem… then, my dream? Don't you just say that was real?" ask Samuel more confused than ever in his live death.
-"The shooting caused for a bad game results didn't kill you, what happen later did but I won't tell you, but I can say that was super cliché"
Almost relaxed Sam ask then "You're a god"-"Yes"
"So you're not a lamp"-"why do you don't even consider orb of light"
"Sorry, first name I think of a person remains forever as is…then, why I'm here?"
"You were chosen as my champion to reincarnate in another world as you people says"
"I kind of get that from the beginning, but why me? I believed that only Buddhist reincarnated like this"
"Oh, your god doesn't mind, I won't tell you his name; he's kind of strict in that only the chosen by him can see him. Well you accept to be my champion? You can chose to be an reincarnate, or got back to you world forgetting everything from here and your old live"
"That's even a question, of course I accept. What kind of world will I go to?" he ask expecting a world of fantasy and magic, expecting realize a dream to be a dragon knight.
"… I forgot to tell you that?, but it's exactly as you are thinking, It's a world of magic, cold weapons and different races, no like your world that you treat fellow humans as different race by minor differences, where currently it's going through a big change in laws of nature." The lamp says majestically, reading your mind then its body changes from a lamp to a boy dress like a king joker.
"You should do that from the beginning, what kind of god are you in any case?" Samuel asks as he looks to the overly talkative lamp god with a questioning gaze.
"Call me Jack, and I am the physical form of choices and indecisions" explain as he look at you with a –I know you know- look, "doesn't that sound familiar?, just like the live that you lived, practice all kind of hand to hand combat but never really stuck to complete one, wanting to study all kind of fields of science and human interactions, and when you finally chose one, you were mediocre, but always with a smile in your face, that's why I choice you, if I wasn't the god of it already, you surely represent the knowledge of all but master of none."
"Back to the beginning, now that you accepted to be my champion, I will give you my blessing and gifts. Have a good life and try to aim to the top, my champion…
****
Sam wakes up, again, this time in a field next to a forest.
"Just like mom used to say, guilty until proven innocent" remember Sam. "If I really die and revive in another world, first its checks for cheats or gifts" Samuel though while thinking what that Lamp can possible give you as a cheat.
"He did say that this world it's a magical one, so… Status"
A moment later a semi-translucent page of light appears in front of him.
Name: Samuel
Race: human
Lv: 10
HP: 200 MP:100
Technics: none
Skills: none
God gifts: 1.5x exp in all areas you already practice in your previous live
Samuel read all the information before giving his analysis, "it appears that all its real" Samuel then looks above him resigning to his fate and thinking the best way to live the most of this new live.
Thump.
A falling noise make him turn around, he sees a new hide bag and a sign that says -nearest village- with an arrow signaling east. Opening the bag he find a knife, food for two days, and a note that says "I forgot to give this to you before parting, and if someone ask you said you are from Rial village".
With this, the new life for Samuel, a 25 college student, as a champion begins.
