Chapter 2 - Gods?
*THE GODDESS OF LIFE HAS ACCEPTED THE REQUEST OF THE GOD OF LOVE.
*THREE OF THE EIGHT LESSER GODS FIND YOU INTERESTING. *
*A GREAT GOD KNOWS OF YOUR EXISTENCE.
The darkness is different now... less dark? I can't tell.
These nonsense sentences are getting boring already. I didn't think there was a bureaucracy to dying. I'm gonna ask them to change that.
|| FOUR EVOLUTIONARY ABILITIES HAVE BEEN GRANTED AS A GIFT ||
What a scare! Now I can actually see the phrase! How does that blue screen glow without lighting anything up? It's like the torches from Game of Thrones.

I guess my last moments are being much longer than I imagined.
I don't have much to do anyway. Let's see... How do I see the details? How handy!
|| HEALING - GODDESS OF LIFE
Evolving Skill. Rank ?
Can heal anyone within maximum range. The greater the healing and distance, the greater the mana expenditure.
Maximum current healing: 5 HP ||
Five is a lot? No, no. Regardless, this is strangely real, but I'm not scared. I'm going to enjoy my last moments.
Now I think I want details of the... It's come up again. I like that!
|| ASMAN - GOD OF LOVE
Evolving Ability. Rank ?
The Guardian, Asman, will assist you with questions and translations you are allowed.
Passive: Allows you to maintain your intellect, consciousness, and the ability to speak, regardless of the being you inhabit.
Current Status Opinion: Disgust ||
Disgusted? Who does this guardian think she is?
|| ASMAN
Status Update: Contempt ||
Anyway... I don't give a shit about this Asman.
Wait... I feel something. Strange... I don't know how to define it. Is it my body? Okay. I'm officially scared.
How long has it been? Three days? A week? I can't even imagine... I feel weirder every day and I think I can move something. I don't know if I'm crazy, but that doesn't feel like an arm.
I never imagined the afterlife would be like this. I wonder if this is hell. An eternal dark, wet loneliness?
...
Wait, wet?!
I feel like I'm wet! That's certainly a notorious evolution! Dad, Mom, is that a hope?
If it hadn't gone away before, it's certainly been a week now. This feeling of being wet all the time is beginning to annoy me. I've just realized that it's more like a jelly.
Ah, I remembered! I haven't seen the other screens yet.

I want to see a- I'll never cease to be amazed by this screen popping up before I think to think! Hahahaha...
|| ABSORPTION - GOD OF DESIRE
Evolving Ability. Rank ?
Allows you to copy magic skills just by looking. You must be able to use the skill you wish to copy ||
So, how do I know if I'm able?
|| Asman
INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE ||
Of course. Something that important shouldn't be written in the description, really. Anyway, that would be a really cool ability.
Yeah, I'm officially sick in the head. I must be in a coma or something. A week in this darkness and I don't even notice this blue screen anymore. I read somewhere that the last part of the brain to shut down is the one that controls dreams. That must be it.
Asman, one question. Do you hate me-
|| Yes ||
I didn't see that coming. Hahahaha. I didn't know we could talk to you. You could have saved me from boredom and loneliness.
So, Asman, is that your real name?
...
...
…
I get it. That makes sense. You hate me.
|| Yes ||
There's one missing.
|| HIGH CALM - GODDESS OF COURAGE
Evolving Skill. Rank F
Passive: Keeps you calm in difficult situations.||
Okay, that one was kind of disappointing. All the others are all "Wow, that's amazing. This in an RPG would be so stolen!", but this one is kind of...
|| GODDESS OF COURAGE
Status Update: Sorry ||
Calm down man! No need to take it personally!
I think it's almost two weeks now... I've been spending more time asleep than awake. I should stop counting. If I'm gonna spend my eternity here, it's not good to have a sense of time. Who knew you could sleep in the afterlife! I hope one day I can sleep eternally in this hell. I wonder if one day God will change his mind and send me to heaven.
|| ASMAN
Status Update: High Contempt ||
Too boring. I can't understand you, really.
Oops, I didn't realize, but I think I woke up a lot more evolved now. I can move! I just don't really understand what kind of movement I'm doing. I feel that I'm moving, but it's strange. It feels a bit like an extremely numb arm. I think I'm going to sleep some more.
I woke up this morning scared.
It's over! How come I just realized it! I was feeling a sweet taste this whole time but didn't notice it until it was gone! I think I'm hungry. I can feel walls holding me down and, I think it's my nose. My nose is hitting something. I can't feel my arms and legs but I can definitely feel my head. This is so fucking weird!
I start to nose the wall, since it's the only thing I can do.
Surprisingly, whatever it is, in just a few strokes I broke it!
Light. A small light has come in and I finally see something! Even very faintly, my eyes hurt. My mouth is salty... I need to finish breaking this thing!
After hitting it hard enough, it finally broke completely and now I see something other than a black wall with a hole coming in light.
"No fucking way."
