"Why did you do that I was meant to protect you why Larry for what reason did you have to sacrifice yourself for me", these were the last words I ever heard from my brother and also the last words I thought I'd ever hear before I drifted into the cold grasp of death how ignorant I was.
"Mortal get up we haven't the time to waste you need to make a choice"
"What do you mean choice where am I is this hell" Larry said with a panicked voice. Larry finally opened his eyes to behold an ancient looking man with a distorted face black unhealthy hair and a devilish grin permanently etched across his face sitting upon a throne with two statures adjacent "Not quite my mortal friend this is known as purgatory the in-between of heaven, earth, and hell well that's what you mortals have concocted in reality purgatory is an area in-between time, space and reality I Aluber am the ruler of this place and my job is to move mortal souls where they wish to go so mortal I again remind you must make a choice".
"A choice what do you mean a choice I'm dead don't I just no longer exist" Larry said obviously quite confused by the entire situation.
"No you lower life form did I not just explain that you must make a choice on how you wish to continue your life cause im pretty sure I did" the old man said clearly becoming more annoyed as time passed. "Ok calm down what were you saying about a choice" Larry said trying to appease the mighty lord infront of him. "Finally we are back on track so let me explain how this works you have four choices to choose from on how you would like to continue your life your first option is the most boring, go to heaven I don't recommend this one after a while the angels and white light make you become numb and deathlike" Aluber said this as if he had some previous encounters with heaven."Your second option is to be reincarnated twenty years in the future on earth again pretty uninspired not much will probably change in twenty years also you already lived on earth you should know how awful it is" Larry proceeded to nod his head in agreement. "Your third option is to be reincarnated in a world less advanced than earth with a system that will give you unlimited potential as you could have assumed this is the most popular option as everyone likes this one because you will be born "special" Aluber said whilst putting up two bony fingers and doing quotation marks in the air "again not boring but it does not have any real challenges also you lose technology".
Your final option is to be born as a creature of my choosing in a world of magic, miracles and where power governs the world this is my personal favourite, it may be hard to believe but I have never had anyone choose this option so I have no previous wisdom to explain how this will work all I know is that I have waited millennia for someone to chose this option. "Now mortal choose" Aluber commanded
Larrys mind was currently in a haze he had no idea what to chose, he was always under the assumption after you die that is it your gone now he's finding out from a Halloween decoration that he has four different options of how he would like to continue his life.
"Mr bones what are the details of each choice I mean what are the advantages and disadvantages also I have already decided to not go to heaven" Larry said in a adamant voice.
"First off my name is Aluber not Mr bones second you have already made a positive analysis as heaven is terrible, you want details okay if you are reincarnated with a system or are reincarnated on earth your will lose your memories and be reborn with a random family" Aluber said with a bored expression. If thats the only drawback then I wish to choose option three" Larry announced I wish to be reincarnated in a world less advanced then earth with a system.
"Hold your horses there mortal I have not told you the details of option four give me a second" Aluber exclaimed.
"Fine what are the pros and cons for option four" Larry groaned. Well my mortal friend option four as previously stated is where you are reincarnated in a fantasy world where I choose what creature or race you are born as, key thing to understand this is a world with magic and where anything is possible but other than your race I don't get to choose anything else, your level is completely random and so is where you will be born".
"Level"? Larry asked to Aluber with curiosity once displayed on his face
"Did I forget to mention this world has similar rules as video games on earth have, example you will level up, you will have a status displaying your stat's the most common stat's are strength, agility, charisma, intelligence, vitality and endurance. Strength will determine how much force you can generate. Agility is how fast you can move and how high you can jump. Charisma is how well you can talk to others whether it be trying to lie or convince them. Intelligence is the speed at which your brain or soul can process information. Vitality is how much damage you can sustain. Endurance is how long you can perform actions before needing to rest."
"Now depending on the race you a assigned you can lose these stat's or gain some exclusive stat's, all humans are guaranteed to start at 10 of each of these stat's and all races may gain different stat's from there class or lineage" Aluber explained as if he was a sales person trying to sell a product. " Something that I cannot stress enough is you are not the only one who has these stats everyone in this world level up and have a personal status finally this is a warning but these beings that are in this world are not what mortals refer to as NPCs these are real creatures they have souls and if they die they will end up here just like you keep that in mind before attempting to kill one of them" Aluber said whilst death staring Larry.
Now you know all the details what is your choice.
