Full Time God Part Time ROB

I take a deep breath from my nose as if I was holding it for a long time and open my eyes. The bright lights blind them for a second until I can focus them. It looks like I am standing on beautiful blue fluffy clouds as far as my eyes can see, I look up and see a never-ending sky but other than that nothing.

Everything is light and nothing is in sight aside from a dot I can see far away. After looking everywhere and not really finding anything else and not knowing where I am or how I got there, I started walking towards the dot.

While walking I started thinking about my situation. Was this a dream? Too realistic, but double-checked by pinching myself. Yep, that hurt. So not a dream, then whats going on? What's the last thing I remember? Going to sleep in my bed. Ok, not helpful.

While I was thinking about this and that I heard a throat clearing. I looked up and saw an imposing man sitting behind a large and beautifully decorated desk. I saw artwork that should have taken my breath away if I wasn't looking at the man sitting behind it.

He was hard to describe because whenever I decide on something it would change. Blue eyes to black to green to brown and so on. The same with his skin, caucasian one second, Asian the next. Whatever he looks like the perfect word to describe him was power.

He raised his right eyebrow as if asking me what am I doing? He then gestured to the chair placed in front of the desk with his chin and waited for me to seat my self. He cleared his throat picked up a file from his desk that I wore was not there a second ago and started reading.

"Does this sound right son," said the being who I was starting to suspect was not a man. "Uhhh, yeah," I said before continuing "except the dead part. That I don't know anything about." He smiled comfortingly at me and my rising anxiety calmed down like everything would be alright, like he would make everything be alright.

"Well, son I don't know what to say to this except you shouldn't have drunk that 5th Red Bull. You weren't in the best shape of your life in the first place and drinking that many Red Bulls made your heart that was overworked supporting your overweight body give out."

I looked at him and smiled sheepishly. He wasn't wrong, I was 5,6, 240 pounds, and loved drinking Red Bull. Anybody could see this coming.

"So, now what?" He glanced at the file that was still in his hands and said, "Well son I hate to break the news to you but you don't qualify for Heaven." I wasn't surprised, while I didn't do anything worse than shoplifting when I was a kid and lying when I was an adult (I was a sales associate you do the math) I didn't go out of my way to do good either. "While your sins while extensive are mostly petty but they do add up. That said you did do many good deeds, perhaps not enough to qualify for heaven but certainly enough that you don't qualify for hell."

Both my eyebrows went up and I smiled in relief and asked again, "So what then?"

"Reincarnation" he said seriously. I looked surprisingly at him and asked, "Wait you are GOD right not ROB." "Full-time God part-time ROB," he said with a smile that hinted at a secret only he knows and is waiting for me to figure out. "Wait... I...I...wait...ah... so umm... can you reincarnate me into an anime or novel?" I asked excitedly. "I can," he said with a bright smile that warmed me down into my soul.

"Ok, so uhhh... whats the procedure? Do I get to choose the world?" I said not hoping, not mentioning, or even thinking about cheats or wishes, knowing I am lucky enough to get reincarnated in the first place.

He smiled at me then looked at the file containing my information making me curiously ask him, "Umm... Sir, why do you keep looking at the file. Don't you know everything about me?" He laughed deeply with an infectious laugh and said, "Son, the clouds, the sky, the chairs, the desk, everything I do is to give out a comfortingly familiar feeling so that souls like you don't get scared and have some kind of context to relate with things. I love my children and do not enjoy seeing them scared and confused."

I smiled at him loving him even more for being the God I believed he was. "As for your reincarnation, let me explain everything to you. Generally reincarnation is to the same birth world not other worlds, which I assure you do indeed exist. That said I am not averse to sending you to them but there are restrictions. Normally after a death we measure your good deeds against your bad deeds and if your good deeds exceed your bad deeds then you get entree into heaven. The higher your good deeds as compared to your bad deeds the closer you are to the center of heaven where my palace resides. That is also where all the saints and my prophets reside."

"To give arbitrary numbers to make it a little simpler. You need overall 100 karma to get into heaven where 1 karma is equal to X amount of good deeds. You also get an entree into Hell if you get -100 Karma, which can get reduced by penance spent in hell for a certain amount of years per X Karma until you hit zero, and then you reincarnate with no choice and no cheats. A completely random entry point with a blank slate. The higher negative Karma you have the longer your punishment."

"In your case, you had 85 Karma and -10 Karma so you were left with 75 Karma. Not a bad amount for your first ride through. Now every choice you make is going to cost you these Karma points. For example the choice of the world costs 25 Karma points. Cheats cost Karma points too but relative to the world chosen. For example, if you choose the DBZ world and want to be a low-class Saiyan then it would cost 25 Karma points. Versus if you want to be in the naruto world and want to be a Saiyan then it would cost 250 karma points. The same scenario in a regular world with no supernatural would cost 25,000 Karma points. Only Saints who choose not to go to heaven can make these kinds of choices and all saints have chosen heaven to date. Now what are your choices?"
