Lucas, who was falling from the sky along with James, found his visions wallowed by a white light. For a second, he thought it was the famous thing that people see in the movies before their dramatic death --the light at the end of the tunnel.

But this was not that.

The light suddenly vanished and Lucas found himself standing in a vast dark space.

'What the heck, did I even hit the ground?' He looked in front of him and then when he looked down toward his feet, there was no ground to stand on, only an endless void. In fact, he wasn't standing but instead floating.

"Would you please stop acting like you are a member of a tourism group?"

Lucas heard a voice coming from the side, so he turned toward the source and saw a man standing in the void.

That man was wearing a long black coat. He had long smooth golden hair that reached his back and a pair of bright blue eyes.

'Wait, paradise has beautiful women, so if I died, this must be hell. Otherwise, why am I seeing a smiling beautiful man in front of me?' Lucas sweated upon seeing this scene, momentarily thinking that this was the afterlife and his punishment would be something he wouldn't dare to think of.

"Hell no! And this isn't hell," The blond man read his mind and replied with a cringed expression.

"Then may I ask, who you are and why am I here?" Lucas asked curiously.

This didn't seem like a dream, and the last thing he remembers was him falling from a tall building, so this could be something that happened after the fall. Maybe he went to hospital and now is in front of this blonde man, and this is simply a dark room.

The blond guy snapped his fingers and a chair appeared from nowhere, he then sat down and started talking.

"I'm what you call, a Supreme Being."

"Sorry, I'm not religious," Lucas said with his usual casual tone and looked around for hidden cameras. Maybe this was just a joke and this guy is playing some trick on him. Supreme Being? He saw weirder tricks on TV magic shows, but he never called someone a Supreme Being.

"Sigh, you lost your virginity in the janitor's closet with your middle school teacher, a 45-year-old cougar." The Supreme Being seemed to understand how to convince this type of person.

"What?! but no one knows that!" Lucas opened his eyes wide in shock, no one knew about that relationship as it was only a one-time thing, and there is no way that cougar told anyone since she lost her memories the next month.

"I know more things, like when a whore put some chai...."The Supreme Being continued.

"Fine! I believe you!" Lucas said, embarrassed, stopping him from saying anything else.

"I'm a Supreme Being, but back to the main point." The Supreme Being relaxed his shoulders as he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"I would like to offer you a chance to reincarnate and live a fantasy life where you have powers and live in worlds you could never dream of, " The Supreme Being said as a chair appeared behind Lucas along with another cigarette.

Lucas found himself to be exceptionally calm. He was used to strange adventures with angry mafia bosses, so he has a very steady heart.

He sat down and lit up the cigarette.

"Mister Supreme Being, I would believe you, but there a Chinese saying --There is no free dinner in this world."

The Supreme Being looked at this mortal with an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or not at this realistic euphemism.

"Well, there actually is such a thing as a free lunch. Like the ones that those charities give to the homeless, but yes, you aren't getting a free lunch"

Lucas thought a bit about it, a fantasy life may not be bad, but it also may not be good, it goes to be said that there is a price to pay.

"Hmm, so what is the price?"

"Your Karma points," The Supreme Being said as he snapped his fingers and a huge number appeared in the void showing how much Karma Lucas had.

Lucas seemed to lost in his thought. Sometimes, and only sometimes, he would give some homeless guys and orphan kids some money and assistance, but he wasn't a good person to the degree that it would allow him to have so many points.

"What gave you the karma points, was actually because you saved the world," The Supreme Being stated, indicating Lucas had done something he was unaware of.

"Saved the world?" Lucas was puzzled, since when he did that.

"Do you remember, James and his wife?"

"Yes," Lucas acknowledged as he still remembered that wild night. He could still recall her fragrant vaginal liquid and the taste of her breast milk in his mouth.

"Actually, James was going to sign a contract that would eventually lead to a third world war, but because you took him down with you, the contract was stopped temporarily by his wife and his company was inherited by your son, who eventually aborted it in its entirety," The Supreme Being informed.

"Wait a second." Lucas stopped him as he realized something. He didn't use a condom that night, so after few minutes of thinking, he asked, "How many kids did I have?"

"Let's not go off the topic, your kids are living under a safe roof. Now, back to the topic at hand, I'll send you to those fantasy world that you read about for fun," The Supreme Being said with a shady grin.

"So, is this some kind of reward? But, if I'm not wrong, in order to gain good karma, you need to do something with good intent. I didn't intend to stop any war or to save the world, so I can't help but have some doubts."

Lucas narrowed his eyes, he still not trusting this supreme being. If he only said that he just wanted to do this for fun, he may have believed him. But saying that I'm a good person who saved the world, my ass, I know myself better than anyone.

"You are correct, I'm doing this to entertain myself, but let me correct you, your intent wasn't to save the world, but you took James down with the intent to set his wife free, which was a good deed with good intent that saved billions of lives, and as a result, you gained a lot of Karma points," The Supreme Being explained, letting Lucas know that some people would do a great things simply out of luck .

Someone like Lucas shouldn't be reincarnated even when he had so many Karma points, but this Supreme Being here felt interested in this guy as he was observing the mortal world.

What really attracted his attention were the five volumes of the nude magazines, and seeing that he had a large amount of Karma, he decided to break the rules this once and teleported him here to have a chat before reincarnating him since he can't revive the souls.

"Hmm, are there any restrictions?" Lucas asked.

"Not really, sometimes you will be teleported between worlds, but don't worry, at some point you will be able to go return. Also, when you go to a new world, some kind of seal would appear so I don't get bored. Sometimes you will find yourself having an identity in a particular world but you would awake your memories later. Other than that, you are free to do whatever you want."

"Hey! Why do I have to go to other worlds, and why nerf me?" Lucas declared in disbelief. The entire world owes him for giving his genes, so he should get better treatment.

"Don't worry, it will happen only a few times since I don't want to get bored, besides that, you have a chance to become a Supreme Being and no one will be able to control you after that, but beware, the risks are as great as the chances you have," The Supreme Being said with a smirk on his face before continuing. "In order to guide you, I have recreated some system that was known by the name of The Strongest System, I don't know if you have heard of it, but you will be getting it."

"Sigh, I know about it, so where will I go?" Lucas had once tried to read these Chinese novels for a change, but he dropped them mid-way when the number Chinese names would increase to the degree that he couldn't handle them.

"Let's say to the world of pirates and marines. Now, here are two portals, take this one and you would go to another Supreme Being who will take you to either heaven or hell. Just a little spoiler: your karma is useless with that guy. Or you can take this one, where you can entertain me." The Supreme Being flicked his finger and two vortexes appeared in the air.

'I still want to live, after all, and there are things I have to do,' Lucas sighed and stood and walked to the second vortex, there are just too many things happening today and he just became too old to handle it all.
