I am Cody Wilson. I think.

The hardest part of a story to tell is always the beginning, and that is why I won't start there.

I'll start where I am now. Atop the gates of hell. Yes,THE hell. The one with demons and stuff. I don't want to be here, but there is nothing else to do, and i woke up here.

My friends are gone, my parents are gone, not that it bothers me especially...

I'm getting off-topic.

I'm not sure how I got here.

I remember walking.

And now I'm here.

Sooooooo...

Yeah.

Anyway, I'm depressed.

I'm not sure why.

I Just remember my name, Cody. And that I'm VERY sad.

Actually do I have friends?

*bluurpPOP!*

I guess I'll just go to that lava pit over there.

Are those demons?

If they attack me I guess I'm dead.

Not that I care really.

I should be dead.

Oh well. Guess I'll just think about stuff.

That lava looks strange though. Is that a... feather?

In front of me is a black/gray feather that gives off a sense of power. It's aura more evil than anything imaginable, but it also seems to give off a golden glow and some of the ferns are... White? And is that dust?

Hmm...

Not my problem.

It does look really nice though.

It's very shiny and white on the inside.

Maybe I should touch it?

How do I get to it though...

Yeah, that's a problem.

I'm fine with dying but I'd rather not get melted to death. That would very much hurt.

So how do I get it?

...

.....

.......

I don't know...

Guess I can't have it.

I really want it though. it seems important.

Uhhhhhh. I have rocks and magma. Neither of those will help me, unfortunately.

Maybe I ask the demons for help?

No, that's a bad idea, right?

But I want it.

So the bad idea it is.

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

"Hey guys!"

They looked at me, uh oh.

Their legs are very weird. Are the joints are backward? And the heads are big. And the body is small. And they have like eight legs. And their skin looks like dried out human leather. Wait why do I know what that looks like?

Anyway, they are very scary.

System Restart Required!

Welcome God Candidate.

And now I'm god.

Well...

So I'm not god, but I have the potential?

I'm a God candidate huh?

Maybe I should be more freaked out but I feel... calm...

It might have to do with that system thing?

Nah, my emotions are just way too vague to care anymore.

"System."

"Status."

"Character."

"Skills."

Yeah, guess the system really did fail huh.

I'm very confused though.

I said words in a language I don't remember learning expecting something to happen.

Where did I get these words from? It just feels... right somehow...

"الإنسان يستعد للموت"

"Oh! Uh, Human tounge?"

"Holder of the balance, Prepare to die."

...What?
