Chapter Zero

Today is the 25th anniversary of our marriage between Mary and I. I was on my way back from the backery when I got killed by a drunken dirver.

How do I know who killed me you ask? Well, currently standing in front of me is a being that has no human traits whatsoever and is instead a humanoid without a face nor reproductive organs and is filled with an ever moving image of galaxies moving about.

The humanoid calls itself "God". And it also says that it was also the one who created the god of my world. I call it an it because it refers to itself as if it were genderless.

And also I'm currently dressed in my work clothes and standing inside a white featurless void.

"Wait, you want me to be born into a world which you've just created because the balance between good and evil is crumbling?"

"Yes, you may not know this but I'm also a god of light and my sister is the goddess of darkness we both work together to keep a balance between universes." It replied with a gender neutral voice.

"This world that you will be born into has a certain element which your world did not have and its called magic. The element magic will open up opportunities not seen before in your world so use it well. Also, I will grant you immortality but in return I will get rid of your desires."

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

I got a pretty decent idea on what he is hinting at.

"A wise man once said this 'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.' Is that the reason for you to take away my desires?"

The being called "God" looked at me and I could feel its gaze despite it being eyeless.

"It looks like I was right at choosing you."

"The world is based on the concept of aristocracy. I will birth you as the illegitimate son of the ruling king left out to die in the wild. If that's not alright with you I can change it."

I understand what "God" is trying to do. If I were to be born as a commoner I will have to spend time trying to climb my way up to nobility and if I were to be born as a noble I will have to deal with people who will be trying their damndest to stop me from getting a higher rank than them but if I were to born as an illegitimate son of a noble I will have a legit reason to rally nobles unhappy with the current regime and rebel against the loyal nobility and that if arguements about who should succeed the throne arise I'm a legitimate candidate.

As if reading my mind "God" let out a praise and told me to get ready for my reincarnation.
