Richard was born on earth..never really achieved much. Working hard as a grocery clerk stocking shelves while going to university. He didn't have any real plans for college. He was just always told that was what he was supposed to do. Then stupidly he died. Of what? Of the most generic thing possible. Crossing the street.  After he died he met the Goddess Alana. She was intrigued by this human and felt bad for him. He lived a bleak life. However, she was not a goddess that oversaw the goings of Earth. Not anymore anyway. She was a Goddess of Nature, of Life. She was not a powerful goddess but she could give this man a choice. To accept his death, or give him a new chance in the world she oversaw. The World of Mirida. A world that seemingly has not advanced much beyond the Earth's version of the middle ages. However, it didn't need to. It was a world defined by magic. She offered Richard a choice to not be reborn, but continue his life in Mirida. He accepted. She placed him in a small region of the world in a kingdom called Alnathia, where most of its populace revered her, in hopes that his life there would be fruitful.  How will he adapt to this new life? Will he make the best of it? Did Alana make the right decision to let a human from Earth loose in Mirida?  Time will tell...
