That's Not My Ceiling...

Today should have been like any other day in my sad and pathetic existence living as a shut in, but it seems some people just don't know how to leave me alone...

My name is Alyster and I'm 27 years old. I've been single for two years now, and if we're being honest here there isn't a chance of that changing anytime soon. The simple reason for that is I can't handle being around groups of people. I get anxious and have a hard time breathing, and that is exactly why my current situation is the absolute worst. I have visitors.. and not just one or two, but over a dozen of them! Why did my landlord have to bring over people to 'help' me reenter society when I'm perfectly happy cooped up in my apartment reading my light novels, and watching anime? Well, it would seem I'm going to find out because she's starting to talk right now... Wait. What's her name again?

"Alyster everyone here is very concerned about the way you've been living. You never take out your trash, and you only leave your apartment twice a month to get food. You never come down to talk to me anymore, and to be blunt you look like you're about to drop dead any moment..." My landlord had a very exhausted and pained look on her face, but the thing is the minute she started talking i wasn't able to hear her, because something very weird was happening. Coming from god knows where was the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard in my entire life, and it was singing a sad sounding song in a language I've never heard before. As the voice of this unknown woman began to grow louder, I noticed my consciousness begin to fade. Little did I know that from this moment on my life was going to make the light novels I'd read look like my biography...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I suddenly came to I saw something that could only be described as impossible. I was laying on top of a pair of cupped and beautiful pure white hands that were attached to a woman so tall that I was one hundred percent sure I was dreaming. Pure white hair, dress, skin, you name it and it was as white as white can be. The only thing different about her appearance aside from the fact that she was a couple thousand feet tall at the very least, was her pure purple eyes that were shot through with shards of blue and gold. Her pupils seemed to contain the vastness of the universe in them, maybe even more. But the one thing that stood out to me the most, was that she was so beautiful it actually hurt my eyes to look at her face for too long. And the other thing? She was crying tears of pure and glowing gold, that flowed down her face into the endless white space that surrounded us. It was as I was looking at her face that she began to speak to me.

"Hello Alyster my name is Jelia and I am the Goddess of what you would call another world. A world of swords and magic, and they have quite a few things there. However they are lacking one thing: High Humans. Every other race in my world of Anguardia have had a number of their people evolve and become a higher species of their race. All except for humans. I have chosen you to enter my world as it's first and only High Human, and there will of course be perks for doing this. It is my most sincere wish that you accept this, and start a new life without the cares or suffering you had before. Do you have any questions?"

Do I have any questions?! Too many to even think of asking... However there is one question of great importance that I must ask, as it could very well be world ending if I don't know. Here goes..

"Yes Jelia I have a few questions, and here is the most important one... Can I choose the size of my penis?!" Oh sweet baby Jesus i actually said it... Please don't squish me... Please please...

After I asked the question, the goddess seemed to go in shock for about ten seconds, or so I thought when she started laughing hysterically.

"Hahahaha! Of all the questions you could ask me, you chose that? Wow in the endless aeons of my existence, this is the first time I've laughed so hard. But to answer your question, yes in fact you can choose the size of your penis. In fact you can design every little detail of it just by thinking of it in your head. But of course you'll have to wait until we're started with your character creation."

Hold up just one minute. I think I just heard the most beautiful words ever just leave that beautiful goddesses pink lips. DID SHE SAY CHARACTER CREATION?! Yes yes yes yes yes!! Is it bad I'm doing a victory dance on the palms of a goddess right now? You know what? I don't care! This is what we call fantasy! But now it's time for important question number two.

"Thank you for your patience with me and honoring me with this incredible chance to live out my greatest fantasy. However I have another very important question that I need to ask, and if the answer is as I hope then I'll be fine without asking my other questions. My question is this.. You said that there are other races in your world, of these races do you have FURRIES?! BEASTMEN?! You know know cat girls that go, 'Nyaaah nyaaaaahh', or dog girls with their hard core loyalty, bushy tails and those ears that you just have to, HAVE TO pet?! What is your answer?"

This was a very important question very dear to my heart and soul. As a man it has always been my greatest sorrow that there are not any cute cat girls or dog girls walking the streets in the real world. Not any real ones anyway... You could say that this question could very well decide my eternal happiness, or send me into the pits of despair. I can only pray that fantasy doesn't let me down, as she is already sitting pretty at one yes so far. So, I'm now looking into this goddesses eyes, with a heart burning with passion. It's now time to hear her answer...

"The answer to your very extremely passionate question is yes Alyster. In fact there are so many different tribes of beast folk in the world that you could spend ages and never see all of them. As I have answered your question, it is now time to move on to character creation as I have understood that you would call it."

And so from that point on I spent easily ten times the amount of time on designing the new me, than I did on making my sexy female characters in a certain video game that takes place in a cold country and has dragons. To summarize my new appearance since I couldn't care about my old one it goes like this: I'm 6 feet and 6 inches tall, I have olive toned skin, and nice perfectly aesthetic muscles. My hair is pure white with purple eyes. Yeah, I'm totally copying the look and I'm sorry, but after seeing a gigantic gorgeous albino goddess with glowing purple eyes with other colors mixed in, I was sold. And of course I totally upgraded my penis. Now this dragon of mine sits at 7 inches flaccid and grows to 13 inches! Yeah I know I'm shameless, but what normal guy didn't dream of having the golden dong? Anyway after moving on from customizing my looks we moved onto my stats screen which apparently is predetermined. And here it is:

---------------------------------------

Name: Alyster Vancheltz

Age: 15

Race: High Human

Lifespan: Infinite

Level: 1

Strength: 100

Stamina: 100

Agility: 100

Mana: 500

Luck: Immeasurable

Charisma: Immeasurable

-------------------------------------------

Okay. So some very scary things showed up in my stats page and I'm too mentally numb right now to even retort. So moving on to skill selection. Right so I obviously had to get the all purpose Appraisal skill that you always find in light novels. Next on my list was of course Cooking, because obviously I'm going to need to survive on my own for a bit right? It's too bad Jelia is only able to let me pick five skills, but it's better than nothing. So next is Healing Magic which luckily includes all basic healing magic like cure and the staple heal. For combat I need the Swordplay skill, because I've always wanted to be a holy healer swordsman guy. The last skill is a passive to increase experience gained by 10x the amount per kill. In other words, for every goblin that I kill I would get experience for killing ten of them. Yeah, I had to at least get one cheat skill, because its expected right? After all according to Jelia she's going to send me down there with a decent amount of supplies like food and water, camping gear and even money to start my life out with. Also I'll be getting the typical knowledge of common languages of the world and how to read and write them, so there's a load off my chest. Now I'm all fired up because it's time to get going.

"Our time together is now drawing to a close Alyster, so I'll be now sending you to my world of Anguardia, in the country of Litani land of humankind. I wish you the best of luck in your new life, and it is my greatest wish that you finally find happiness there. Go now Alyster with my blessing, and blessed be."

As I looked up into the beautiful face of this kind hearted goddess one last time, I only had one last thing to say to her. "I love you Jelia! You're the best, and if it's possible for me to come visit you here again someday, I'll make you mine!" As my parting words reached the ears of the goddess before me, she burst into loud musical laughter and a tear fell down the left side of her face as she looked me in the eyes and said, "I'll be waiting for you always Alyster. If it's you, I'm sure you'll find your way up here some day. Good bye."

Before I knew it my consciousness began to fade, and everything went dark.

When I woke up for the second time I realized I was laying under a gigantic cherry blossom tree and it was clearly some time early in the morning as the suns were out... Yeah i didn't hallucinate that one. There were two suns in the sky. One yellow and one blue. That's when it really hit me... This is definitely not my apartment back on earth. And that sure as hell is not my ceiling..

This is my first light novel, and I know I'm definitely going to have mistakes. Everyone please stick with me, and feel free to send your ideas my way. I'm more than willing to spice things up a bit if I like your idea.
