15 The Confirmation

I sit in a white room with a table and a chair. I hear the voice of Flotic as I have an argument with her.

"What do you mean I died?!" I yell. "I was supposedly 'immortal' and yet you say I was slayed?!"

"May I repeat, you had been slayed." Flotic says. "Al Krelin, The Immortal Moon Elf, had been slayed by a dark forest shadow."

"Ugh!" I slam the table. "Where's my body?! If I died, then my body should be somewhere!"

"Your body is currently being held in the property of the Dark Forest Masters'." Flotic says. "The state of your body should have been immortal, though you had shown to abuse this."

"I didn't mean to abuse it… I just used it as a shield to keep everyone else safe…." I sigh. "How can I get my body back?"

"This cannot be done." Flotic bluntly says.

"You're lying, I know that I could get it back, tell me how." I feel angered. "I'm not going to just let my friend's think I'm dead somehow, they know I'd be immortal… Wait! Klotic was my assigned assistant, is he free now?"

"No, he is still your assigned assistant as you were once an immortal being." Flotic says. "All immortal beings have a point in their time when they part from their bodies due to body manipulation."

"Then I 'can' get back to my body!" I laugh. "Give me a chance to get it back inside the Dark Forest! I can gather trust in people, just please, I need it back."

I kneel down and show that I am begging for this, that I want to so badly I won't give myself some respect for a few seconds. Then I hear a quiet crackling sound and I look up. I then see a mirror with holographic looking words on the side of it.

"I shall give you another chance to take back your body." Flotic says. "Although, you need a new life to begin this, as a newborn being."

"You can't make me do that, I probably won't be able to even meet Jastria and Klotic again!" I yell. "How am I even supposed to do anything if I can't find them?!"

"If you wish to disperse this option, I shall bring you to another world and you may not enter Soltica once more." Flotic says.

I look at myself in the mirror and feel disgusted. My old self who loved to play with lives and treat others with disrespect, I hated it. I hated myself for how I was, how I had done everything out of greed and selfishness, not again. I wouldn't choose that path again; I'll try my hardest to find them and take back my body.

"I'll do it." I sigh. "How much time do I have."

"You have 1 hour(s) and 30 minutes to decide what your newborn being will look like." Flotic says. "You may also choose what your mature stages appear as."

"Wait I can do that?" I smile.

"Yes, this is allowed only to immortal beings who choose this path, to get back their lives or to confirm and be a fully newborn being."

"Wait, you said I was in the Confirmation Gate the last time I died." I look around. "Where is this?"

"This is the immortal entry of 'The Confirmation Gate'." Flotic says.

"Well, that'd make more sense, I'll start customizing now." I say. "I want to be a bright blonde this time, ocean blue and green eyes, like emeralds. With soft skin that has this warm pink tone in it."

"Bright blonde hair, ocean blue and green eyes, like emeralds. Soft skin with a warm pink tone." Flotic repeats. "Would you like to confirm this look?"

I see myself begin to look like what I described. I check the eyes which surprisingly look beautiful, and the hair which is what I had expected and nod. Then I start to make my hair look simple with my bangs being moved to part in the middle.

"Yes, I also want to see what I would look like if I didn't customize the older looks yet." I say.

I then appear as a skinny but cute teen with a nice jawline. I look at my right arm though, it has a small mark on it.

"What is this?" I ask.

"This is to show that you represent that you are a former immortal being with power." Flotic says. "The mark will grow as does your body."

"What will it look like?" I say.

The form changes to an older version and my eyes slightly widen. I see that it's just my name written on the top side of my arm. Then I smile a little, this reassures that I can be recognized by my friends.

"Thank you, Flotic." I tear up. "Thank you so much."

"If you wish to confirm where your mark is placed then you may do so." Flotic says. "You are allowed to choose from the list of skills and magic spells you may use."

"I can't choose my species?" I say. "What would I be then?"

"You become a newborn of the most recent female going into labor." Flotic responds. "You may choose skills and magic spells that you desire in order to reach your goal."

"Well in this list I can't really seem to find the one I last used." I sigh. "I'll just go without one if it's not here."

"The 'Death' magic and skill spell is available in the confirmation gate and in the grounds of Soltica from which you had gotten." Flotic says. "I will give you the list that has the magic spell and skill."

I see the list empty and only two things appear.

"It only says, 'God and Satan spell' and 'Live and Die skill'…." I say. "I don't clearly remember how the original one I used looked like, but these aren't the same ones."

"The magic spell you had used was the original version of these that were created from it. The magic spell 'God and Satan's work' was the name, although you had gotten this in your own work. This means that your magic spell used last was created off of you, you may create it once more as you live more lives. Though doing so, you will be the creator of a dangerous spell that can grow more as an original being." Flotic says. "Though, this is what the magic spell 'God and Satan' looks like."

In my mind Flotic shows the dangerous spell to me. I see that it has piercing spikes instead of orbs, along with a sort of gravity that pulls anything but the caster down. The walls are formed in shapes that repeat continuously inside. Then I see that ribbons start to form that wrap around the outside of the walls which make them cave in. Then two figures of large people are seen taking the ends of the ribbon to increase the speed of caving in. This was God and Satan seen working together for the caster.

"As known, this is the 'Got and Satan' magic spell which in normal formalities, kills the caster and the targets inside the circle of the spell." Flotic says. "This is a more complex and advanced magic spell that is rarely ever chosen because of the little knowledge most do not know of it."

"So, what you're saying is that this magic spell in particular is barely known about." I say. "Does that mean I can just take it and go?"

"You may take the magic spell and the skill along with it if you desire." Flotic says. "You are allowed to choose at many as you want in order to reach your goal."

"I'll just look at what the skill can do for now, if you don't mind showing me." I say.

I am shown the skill 'Live and Die' that let's you use all sorts of skills that you can imagine, then dying after a one-time usage.

"I can't use that skill, but what would happen if I used it in my original form?" I ask.

"You will be brought back here once more to choose, then it will be much more difficult to reach your body once more." Flotic says. "You may break the rules that are curses to strong Immortal beings. Although, there will still be consequences."

"Well, what happens if you manage to get through the second chance?" I ask.

"Then you are free from this rule." Flotic responds.

I slightly smile when I hear this. To contain my little excitement, I breath slowly. Then I choose the magic spell 'God and Satan' on the list as my only thing I am bringing into the world with me.

"Confirmation on entering the world of Soltica?" Flotic says.

"Not yet." I say. "I want to know what species I would be if I was born in the next 30 seconds."

"You may not know that, now if there is nothing else you wish to choose, you may confirm to enter your newborn being." Flotic says.

"All righty then, I wanna grow up to look like a decent and not scary looking person, and please let be grow near them." I say. "Also-"

"You will now enter the world of Soltica once more." Flotic interrupts me. "You will be born in the 4th city of Soltica. Commencing, Zachary Mockmery's newborn being."

Once she finished talking, I felt warm and started to hear mumbling voices. It felt odd because everything around me seemed to look red. I felt uncomfortable and emotional. Then I started to hear and see things more normally. Then I finally opened my eyes to two adults of the opposite gender, bright blonde hair with green and blue eyes each. I looked at the one closest to my face and spoke after a while.

"Ma…" I said.
