First Meeting With Said God...

"Greetings, Mr. Lich or...Hmm, what should I call you??" 

The words came from a white figure that had a surprisingly human shape, despite lacking a face or any other distinguishing features.

He stood upright, looking down at a frail, bony structure sitting comfortably on a cloud. Many of its bones were already cracked and broken.

The Lich casually waved his hand through the empty air, and a cup and kettle filled with steaming coffee appeared.

"Are you God? Am I finally dead??" The Lich asked while taking a sip of the coffee. 

There was no frustration or surprise in his words. It was as if he had simply accepted his fate, even though just moments ago he had been fighting a group of adventurers, and now he found himself in this mind-boggling, weird place.

It was brighter than daylight, despite there being no sun in sight. Clouds replaced solid ground, and the horizon seemed to stretch on endlessly. It was like empty heaven.

"Yeah, I'm God. And you should be dead...but wait, first how the fuck did you summon that cup?? You shouldn't be able to use magic here!"

Though the face of God was not visible, the frown in his voice was obvious.

"Well, it's not the first time we've done something beyond your control," the Lich said calmly as he took another sip of the hot coffee.

"Yes right there are always such eye-sore bugs," the faceless god replied.

"Now that your degenerate body can no longer contain your sinful soul, do you know what fate awaits you?? Your soul will be removed from the cycle of reincarnation and sent to an eternal void of nothingness where you will suffer for enter..."

"Yeah, so you have a way out of it, right?" Before the faceless god could finish, the Lich interrupted.

"I thought all undeads were brain-dead and could barely talk, but it looks like you're different," the faceless god said with a small chuckle. "Well, yeah, I have an offer that you can't refuse."

"Make me human and I'm even ready to be your slave,"

"No, you don't have to be a slave. Just make a soul pact that you'll follow one order from me when the time comes."

"Yeah, okay, I accept."

"Just like that?" The surprise was evident in the faceless god's voice. "Not even a little suspicious?"

"Well, I'm already bored with this life. And as you said, we undead are brain dead so why not," 

The faceless god let out a huge laugh. "Yeah, right, right. I'll make you human as you asked, but not of Eldora."

"Huh?" The Lich frowned in confusion.

"You'll be human, but of Earth..... It's a beautiful and peaceful place, nothing like Eldora." the faceless god paused. "Or I should say it was peaceful."

"It was??"

"Do you know about the Ends??"

"Ah, those cheap filial of demons."

"Yes, they waged war against Earth three decades ago and even captured 1/3 of the land."

"Huh? Are the Earthlings so weak to give up 1/3 to mere Ends?"

"No, they're actually quite strong. Before three decades ago when the Ends came, they didn't even know what mana was. There was no mana on Earth at all. Thanks to the realm rift opened by the Ends, Earth got mana. They adapted so fast to this overnight change and managed to protect themselves. Don't you think they're interesting?"

"Yeah, it's interesting. But not the humans, I am more interested in whoever helped them. Surely they couldn't have stopped the Ends alone with just that, right??"

The faceless god let out a huge laugh, not expecting the Lich to figure it out. "Yeah, you're right about that. We gods helped them by giving them blessings that enabled them to adapt quickly."

"Oh how nice of you gods, always there to help us, taking pity on us lowly beings," the Lich said as he stared into his now empty cup.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but the faceless god just ignored it.

"Yes, and I have something for you. Since you weren't born on Earth, you can't receive a blessing. But with my authority, I can give you 300 points to choose any blessing you'd like within that limit." 

The faceless god gestured toward a large stone wall a few meters away, though made of stone it was glowing faintly, it had some kind of divine aura to it. Countless blessings were carved into its smooth shiny surface.

Setting down the empty cup, the Lich moved towards the stone wall and slowly gazed over all the blessings.

"Are all possible blessings listed here?" he questioned, turning back to the faceless god.

The god moved closer. "Hmm, not all. These are just some of the blessings that fall under my authority."

Nodding, the Lich looked through all the blessings intently. They were categorised into tiers based on their potency, ranging from SSS as the highest tier down to G as the lowest.

SSS [900 points]

SS [700 points] 

S [500 points]

A [250 points]

B [200 points]

C [150 points]

D [100 points]

E [50 points]

F [30 points]

G [10 points]

"Why is there such a big difference of 250 points between the S and A tiers?" the Lich questioned with a frown as he studied the list.

"Cause there is a difference of heaven and earth between them. Only the top 20 gods can bestow S-tier blessings and above."

The lich turned back to the list, his frown deepening. "Then why even bother showing those if the S tier starts at 500 points and you only gave me 300?"

 "Well, there is a way for you to increase your points."

Hi guys, Author san here. I know you don't usually read author notes, so I just included it in the chapter...

I'm one of those comment-hungry authors who can't live without it, so your comments are most appreciated, whatever they are...

I'm thinking of making this a single female lead. What do you guys think? Should I go with it, or make it a harem? Harem or single female lead, I can write both equally trash, so don't worry about that part.

So, peace out... Oh, I almost forgot, thanks for reading! I hope you will continue to enjoy it.
