Chapter-1 Three gifts

Chapter-1 Three gifts

Inside a completely white room, a man in his thirties looked at an elderly man with a calm gaze.

"So you're saying that I died," Aurelius asked as he looked at the old man in front of him with a helpless look.

"Yes, you died." The old man smiled gently and said as he took a sip of tea. The old man looked at the man in front of him and did not hide the appreciation in his eyes. Death is one of the most feared things in the entire universe, even gods could not be calm knowing that they were going to die.

But the man in front of him, although he was a little scared, was calm. Which was an admirable thing.

"Can I ask how I died? For some reason, I don't remember how I died. " After easily accepting that he had died, Aurelius asked as he looked at the old man. He has already speculated what the old man's identity was, but it was only guesses.

"It is normal for you not to remember, it is standard procedure. But you died shot by a bullet that came from a sniper a mile away. The old man replied with a gentle smile.

"It looks like my enemies even hired a professional assassin to kill me," Aurelius murmured to himself with a helpless look. He was a senator who never stole anything or embezzled money from public coffers. He always favored people over gain itself. Therefore, his popularity with citizens was quite high.

But that certain and kind character made many politicians dislike him, even avoided him frequently.

It was no surprise that one of his enemies hired someone to murder him, especially after he proposed before the Supreme Court to investigate corruption in forty members of the conservative party.

"Do you regret doing this?" The old man asked as he looked directly into Aurelius' green eyes.

"They have diverted almost two billion from public coffers in the past ten years. Like any man, they will pay in jail, but I know that some of them would escape by making deals with the prosecution." Aurelius said as he looked at the white ceiling of the room lost in thought.

Repentance? It was a lie if he said no. After all, he was only thirty years old, he had a lifetime to live, but now there is nothing left for him.

After all, he died.

"Aurelius, do you want to live a new life?" Hearing the old man's words, Aurelius immediately regained clarity and looked at the old man in front of him with a serious look.

"What's the price of this?" Aurelius was not a child, he knew that nothing in the world was free, everything involved interests.

"I just want one thing, your faith." The old man said while showing a happy smile.

"My faith?" Aurelius imagined many cliché requests in his mind, such as saving the world, killing a sworn enemy, until he married his daughter. But he never imagined he would ask for that.

"You underestimate the faith of sentient beings, faith is an omnipotent energy capable of realizing even the most insane ideas in the mind of a being." Seeing the doubt in Aurelius' eyes, the old man explained with a smile on his face.

"You don't seem to need this." Aurelius looked at the old man and said with a little uncertainty.

"You're right, I don't need faith, I'm not a god born of sentient faith, but if I don't ask for anything you will be suspicious of me." The old man explained with a helpless look.

"Do I have to pray every day?" Aurelius asked. Although he went to church every Sunday, god to him was just a spiritual pillar that he relied on to gain strength and determination.

"No, just feel admiration for me, and you will be giving faith to me." The old man said with a satisfied smile, he already knew that Aurelius had accepted his offer to be reborn.

"I accept, which world will I be reborn in?" Aurelius accepted, who wouldn't want a second chance? But he was also concerned, if he was reborn in a dangerous world, the chances of him surviving were very low.

"You will be reborn in a world of fairy tales." The old man said while smiling happily, he hasn't been happy like that for ages.

"Disney?" Aurelius asked uncertainly. If he is right, that world was still very dangerous. Spirits, gods, evil witches, plagues, wars ... in short, it was not a safe world.

"Similar, but with a few different things. Don't worry, you'll have some gifts so you don't die the next day. " The old man said seeing Aurelius's concern.

"Now let's start the draw for your gifts, there are only three. It all depends on your luck. " The old man said clapping his hands.

After clapping his hands, a roulette wheel appeared in front of Aurelius.

At roulette, Aurelius could see countless prizes, he had some prizes that even made his heart flutter with anxiety.

"Can I start?" Aurelius asked with a little anxiety.

The old man nodded.

After receiving permission, Aurelius rolled the roulette.

Aurelius looked anxiously at the constantly moving roulette.

After a while, the roulette stopped, and the pointer pointed to a gold item.

The old man looked at the golden item with a surprised look and said: "Congratulations Aurelius, you have won a dragon egg. Your soul and the dragon's soul are linked for all eternity. This will be a bond so strong that it will surpass even a mother's love. "

Aurelius' heart was extremely excited, he looked like a child full of happiness. Who never dreamed of riding a dragon and flying in the sky when he was an innocent child?

After a while, Aurelius calmed down and spun the roulette again.

For the second time, the roulette stopped and the hand pointed to another golden prize.

Aurelius looked at the golden prize with a satisfied look but did not notice the old man's shocked look.

The old man regained his calm and said with a calm look: "Congratulations, you have won King Arthur's holy sword, The Excalibur."

Although the old man was calm, Aurelius was not!

That was Excalibur! One of the most famous swords in the world, the sword of the lady of the lake of Arthurian tales, the sword of the king of the knights, the sword of victory, that was Excalibur.

Riding a dragon and holding the Excalibur in his hand, Aurelius can already imagine the image of him flying in the sky.

'Calm down Aurelius! You are not a child, calm down! 'Aurelius thought as he tried to calm down.

Taking a deep breath, Aurelius spun the roulette for the third and last time.

To the numb look of the old man, the roulette hand stopped at a colorful item.

With a strange look, the valle looked at Aurelius and said slowly: "Congratulations, you have won the heart of the dragon god Bahamut. Although there is no divinity, the blood that the heart produces contains divine energy, it will gradually deify your body, elevating your body in a perfect direction."

After hearing the old man's words, Aurelius just wanted to shout in excitement. Like all these awards, your safety can be guaranteed without problems.

"Aurelius, are you the son of the lucky goddess? Did you receive a blessing from her? " the old man asked as he looked Aurelius up and down as if he were trying to discover his secrets.

"I've always been lucky in my life, maybe I'm really the son of the lucky goddess." Aurelius was not humble and said with a weak smile. He didn't lie, luck was always with him, only in his death did she not help.

"Well, let's leave this conversation for another time, it's time for you to reincarnate." Seeing Aurelius's smug appearance, the old man no longer wanted to speak and waved his hand.

At the same moment, a white portal appeared in the room.

"When you enter the portal, you will be reincarnated. I wish you a second life more exciting and full of adventures and passions. " The old man said looking at Aurelius with a smile.

"What's your name?" Before entering the white portal, Aurelius stopped and turned to ask the old man's name.

"My name is Genesis." The old man spoke while waving his hand, pushing Aurelius into the white portal.

"My debt is paid, Nicole." Seeing the portal closing, the old man murmured to himself.

Soon everything disappeared.
