Alyson looked down on the board. Endless options were available but which one to choose. Should she force a peice? It was her first peice so making sure it was an exceptional peice seemed like the right option. However pulling one from existence seemed wrong and she just wasn't willing to make that sacrifice.

She had won the choice to go first by the most mundane of chances. A coin toss. One flip.

She was excited to get the first choice over James. Now with butterflies in her stomach she wished that he had won and got to make the first. She could have seen what he had done and made a counter move.

No. She would not force a peice onto the board. It was too cruel. So that limited her options. Still they were endless. Searching the Aether she saw one shine for but a moment and focused on it.

Yes. This one. He would be her first peice. She put him on the board.

.....................

Isaac was a loner. Having grown up with 4 siblings but being the middle child had made him realized getting the attention of others was needed sometimes but not always wanted. He preferred his quiet time. Playing his games on his computer, going to work at his boring factory job so he could pay his bills and play his games was all he really needed.

Sure he had a few friends but they were more like work acquaintances. He ran his machine with Austin. He said hi to everyone when he came and went. He spoke and made jokes but really that was all just to be polite.

He was thirty three. A medium build at 6 foot tall. Starting to bald with a small gutt problem. He ate way too much fast food, drank too much soda and had way too little exercise. But for living in a small rural town he got around enough that he wasn't going crazy.

Today was one of the few days he had to be an adult. He was parked in front of his land lords office writing out his check for rent. He hated that his land lord hadn't moved into the 21st century yet and he couldn't just pay online or transfer the money directly.

Oh well. He took this one day a month to sit out side for a bit and watch the kids play at the park across the street. There was a nice play ground and a running track along with some out door equipment to work out on. He always told himself he would start running and try to get back into shape a little so he could find a girlfriend but he never did. He always just sat in his car ate his burger and fries from big Mc's and then go drop his rent in the drop slot and go back home.

Finishing up his food. He got out and walked up to drop box. "Susan stop, come back away from the street" Isaac hears a lady yell.

"I'm just getting my ball Mommy" Susan retorted.

"Susan!" Now turning to look Isaac sees what's happening. Susan was following her ball as it rolled into the main road. She was between cars and was too small to see the semi coming and the driver couldn't see her walking between. He starts moving. Not one for quickness he isn't sure what exactly he is thinking.

I'm not going to make it. I'm going to see this little girl get hit by a truck. He forces his legs to move as fast as he can while he hears the mother screaming. He pushes Little Susan back in between the cars just in time. The truck blasts it's horn oblivious of the girl thinking he just randomly ran out in front of him.

'"Susan! Oh thank you so much. You saved her life!" The mother exclaims.

"It's no big deal really, just glad she is safe" he tells her. Holly Crap! I almost just died. "Go play somewhere a little safer. Ok Susan?" Tussling her hair and then smiling at the little girl to let her know everything was fine.

He says bye to the mother and walks back to his car. That's enough excitement for a whole month. That's for damn sure. Starting his car his he merges onto the road and turns the corner to return home and get back to his games. That's when he sees the car out of the corner of his eye and gets smoked right in his door.

Ow that hurt. A lot. Why can't I see anything? Wait is that text? Is that my thoughts. WHAT THE HELL!!!! Why am I reading my thought!?

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

HELLO ISAAC. MY NAME IS ALYSON AND I AM HEAR TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE AT A NEW LIFE.

Isaac sees the text. He doesn't even know where to begin. Umm hi?

HELLO. WOULD YOU LIKE A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE?

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN SECOND CHANCE.??? And why do I see what I'm thinking? How come i can't see anything else? How come I can't talk? Why can't I feel anything? Who are you? What is going on? I'm freaking out. I should stop freaking out.

AH. HMM. ONE SECOND. THERE. IS THAT BETTER? YOU HAVE DIED. YOU WERE IN AN...

"THERE. IS THAT BETTER? YOU HAVE DIED. YOU WERE IN AN..."

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Your talking way to loud now. Also if your talking and I can hear you why do I need the text as well? That's just weird."

"... IS This better"? Alyson asked getting in a more normal voice as she finished the sentence.

"Yeah. Much better. So your some kind of God right? Why do you seem so new to this? Is this your first time giving someone a second chance?" Isaac questions.

"WHAT NO, OF COURSE NOT!" she retorts. "I am a Supreme Celestrial I'm just not used to working with beings with no magic sense and don't understand basic concepts.

"Yeah ok. So I died huh. That kind of sucks. Well what's my options? Do I get cool confu powers,  or magic or something?"

"... You seem rather relax about all this now? What changed?"

"I mean I had just died and was freaking out but I read Mangas and stuff you know? So I get the whole reincarnation thing. Do I get to pick my body and powers and stuff. Make me a sex God and put me on a planet. Oh powerful Being. This is going to be fun!" He jest.

"...NO THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORK!!!! Ugh. I should of went with a forced peice. This is ridiculous. No you don't get sex powers or get to pick your body. Why would anyone just want sex powers? That's so waistfull and just so messed up. You get to pick what type of plane you live on. That's it." Alyson stated

Now it was isaacs turn to be upset. "Pick my type of plane? That's it? That sucks. This sucks. Is there another God I can get help from?"

".... NO..... Your really ungrateful. Picking your plane is an amazing opportunity. You get to choose if you can get superpowers, a techno savvy plane, a magical plane, it could be a mundane essence free place like Earth is or a heavy essence plane that you can cultivate and become an Immortal. Any and all options are available to you." She stated like she was reading a brochure.

" Seriously? I can cultivate and become an Immortal? Like you? Like a God? That's awesome!" He stammers.

"No. Not like me. I am a Supreme Celestrial. A Supreme God among gods. You would be immortal. Unaffected by age and able to hone your crafting and fighting skills to the max. If you live long enough to get strong enough. Cultivation is not easy and it takes a life time to become an immortal. Is that what you choose Isaac? Do you wish to cultivate? " She Questions again.

" That sounds boring. What about magic? What's that about?" Isaac asks.

" Magic is a plane that takes essence and turns it into mana. That mana is then used to influence and eventually control the elements or aspect. Magic is a part of you. So if you choose to go to a magic plane you will get whatever aspect or element that is you. Do you wish to hear about the other more popular planes of existence?"

"Nah I'm good. Magic sounds awesome. That's the one for me. So now what?" He said excitedly.

"Good bye. You will not remember this."

"Wait. That's it? I don't get...."

"Good riddance. That did not go as well as I hoped. " Alyson huffed.

"Hahahaha that was funny." James was laughing so hard "Mine won't go that bad. How could you let a mortal talk to you like that? I would of just put him back in the Aether and gotten a better one. Haha watch and learn sister. I will get an excellent peice for my board."
