Chapter 2: I should have gone to heaven or hell, but a god hired me, so I reincarnated.

The person in front of my mind definitely looked young, but…

He had a feeling he wasn't.

His hair was black tousled in a way that made one think of a black hole, instead of saying that it glowed it seemed more like it absorbed light, his eyes were also black, but they seemed to have lights like a starry sky.

It was because of those eyes that he didn't feel that he was so young, it seemed that they had seen everything, the truth was that he looked a bit bored.

— So… I died?

I asked for confirmation.

— I'm afraid so—he said sympathetically as he crouched down in front of me.

He seemed ready to comfort me.

I heaved a sigh that was part resin, part relief.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise and I stared at him, I had to die to finally see a handsome guy do that!

…

"It was worth it"—said my inner fangirl.

-hahaha- the boy let out a sincere laugh of those that I could also only read.

"It was worth it? It was worth every ma/&%$% second!"- my fangirl side kept thinking.

The boy laughed harder, and then I realized that there seemed to be no difference between thinking and speaking in this space.

I turned to see the boy who had stopped laughing, and I saw him lying on his side with his head resting on one hand and his elbow for support, recreating another classic scene while he gave me an even more classic side smile.

I ended up getting down on my knees and joining my hands in prayer.

— Thank you, God- I sent my thanks feeling fulfilled.

— You're welcome—I heard the boy's amused voice. I turned to see him, and there he was, still with the same pose and mocking side smile.

In a quick movement, he sat in a meditative position in front of me, and I mirrored him.

He extended a hand to me and I extended mine to shake it, he took it, and he gave me a firm handshake.

— I am Chaos deity of discord—he introduced himself-or, well, one of many—he clarified.

— I'm Sophie, a normal human- I introduce myself.

He looked at me as if he was having a great time, he cleared his throat after letting go of my hand and continued.

— You don't seem depressed to be here—she said with some surprise- I mean the view is spectacular- she said looking down.

I did too and nodded.

— But people don't usually pay much attention to that because of sadness—he continued explaining- Or panic-he said more to himself than to me.

— I'm a little disturbed- I began to explain- but I don't see the point in stressing myself about this at the moment, I say I'm already dead, what usually scares me is what will come next; I'm here and well- I make a gesture with my arms as if wanting to cover everything- it's not so bad, I say it doesn't seem like hell and with that I give up.

I knew that this was to have the bar very low, but, in that you cannot choose and, truth be told, I was not Mother Teresa of Calcutta either.

The boy (Chaos-deity) held back a laugh as he tried to remain a bit serious, he coughed a bit and stared at her for a second, before saying:

— You are what is known as a conformist, right? He commented.

— Mm?- was all I could say.

I say, how do you explain to a Deity? (even if it is one of the chaos that), that you were so sure (and not at all sorry) that you were going to end up in "the grill" on the "ground floor", that all your friends and your antler had agreed on what each one was wearing when we're there, he got a little depressed thinking that because of him the party ran out of cookies.

Now he had to shoulder the eternal guilt of being the cause of the missing main course!

Although now that she thinks better of it, if she did not qualify for her blacklist, none of her friends would either, she has to change the party room, but what matters are the friends and being together.

She nodded to herself as she rambled when she heard the Deity in front of her burst out laughing once again, well that was confirmed by hearing her thoughts.

— haha… Yes, yes haha… I do. Haha- I confirm while she tried to breathe between laughs—ha … There! Haha- it seemed like she already had pain in her side after giving it a full 5 minutes.

The poor guy took a deep breath and tried to calm down, if you wonder why I didn't stop him? Well, because I was too busy collecting my commission for comedy, that is, seeing the abs that could be seen through the raised shirt while he was spinning on the floor of laughter.

I am satisfied with my salary.

Chaos seemed to be about to erupt again as he looked at me pleadingly as if to say "no more please", he cleared his throat and continued with the previous conversation.

— You'll see this—he moved his index finger grabbing a circle- it's more like a pass zone.

— Oh! And what time will it take me to the "residential areas"?

— Not exactly—he said calmer and returning to sit in meditation position- I'm going to reincarnate you.

— Oh! — he repeated—then it is not heaven and hell, but a cycle of reincarnation.

Buddhists: 1 Catholics: 0.

— Yes, there is heaven and hell, but I'm not going to send you to any—Chaos explained—You see, I want some fun in the play that is mortal life and I want to hire you for the job, you just have to accept.

— I agree.

— contracted.

None of them thought twice, and we shook hands to seal the deal.
