-Eclipse: Chapter 2 Start-
----------------------------------------
I looked at the (cute) Goddess' bewildered face.
'Gah! too cute!!!' MC recieved a critical hit! -999999 HP
Anyways, back to the issue at hand...
"Nevermind that... So, why are you exactly here Tia?" I asked the (cute) Goddess.
"Eh? Ah... Ahh..." Suprised by my question, she fumbled a bit before straightening out
"W-we are very sorry for what happened!!!" she suddenly shouted while bowing to me at a perfect 90 degrees.
"The SUPREME GOD accidentaly slipped and entered your body thus ejecting your soul out." she said. "A soul without an anchor, or a body, will immediately be sent here to be judged by me."
"So, you're saying that this Sue Primcott is the cause of my death?" I asked, desperately holding it in. "So where's Mr. or Miss. Primcott then?"
"Sue Primcott?" she said. Her head was tilted slightly while her eyebroyes were scrunched.
MEIN GOTT!!! SHE'S TOO CUTE!!! I want to take her home!!!
"Who's that?" She asked innocently.
I can't hold it in much longer... "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
And I laughed like a maniac. She's so easy to tease!
Tia's confusion grew as I rolled around laughing. A few seconds later, realization dawned on her face and she tried her best to glare at me.
The key word is tried. Her glare was a glare that can send people running.
Not away but towards her. HER GLARE IS WAY TO CUTE!!!!!!!!
"Mou~ That wasn't funny!" She huffed.
She crossed her hands and turned her head to the side while puffing her cheeks.
GAH! ANOTHER CRITICAL HIT!!! -99999 HP
----------------------------------------
After an hour of apologizing and complimenting her, she finally agreed to forgot what just happened.
Continuing our previous discussion, I asked her what will happen to me now.
"All dead souls are recycled. All their memories and experiences are wiped and send back to the cycle of rebirth. However, since your death was caused by the gods in the first place, you are given another choice. To reincarnate with your memories intact. If you choose the second option, Miss Sue Primcott will give you an additional ability." She said while putting her hands in her hips and sightly leaning forward (I dub thee, Tia lecture pose #1). Looks like the joke still lives.

"This seems to good to be true. What's the catch?"
"Eh?~ Catch? What's that?"
"You know, the cost or consequences of such things of such things." I answered her. Never hastily accept good offers from Random Omnipotent beings, Wish Granting Devices and Cute Creatures. Especially cute creatures.
Remember what happened to EM*YA, the H*LY GR*IL and KYU*BEY. The first was ennslaved by the will of Humanity and was made to kill countless humans, The second unleashed all the world's evil and the last is plain evil....
"There is no catch..." I call Bullshit "it's more of a refund. However..." she looked at me. Her cute glittering eyes was looking at me like it was weighing my very existance.
"H-however what?" I asked.
"you won't reincarnate in your previous world. I'm sorry..." She once again apologized and bowed at me.
Suddenly, everything hit me at full force. My previous bravado was gone. My chest tightens. Tears flowed from my eyes. Bile rose up from my stomach...
I died...
I won't see my family anymore...
I won't see my little sister finally gradute. I won't be able to scare off her boyrfriend. I won't be able to take care of my aging parents. I won't be able to greet them another Merry Christmas, another Happy New Year, another Happy Birthday. I won't be able to eat dad's special turkey with them during thanksgiving anymore.
I can't spend more time with my girlfriend. I won't be able to tell her how much I love her. I won't be able to spoil her, to shower her with hugs and cuddles. I won't be able to kiss her. I won't be able to give her chocolates during valentines, I won't be able to give take her out on dates.
I can't hang out with my friends anymore. I won't be able to go with them to karaoke. I won't be graduating with the whole squad. I won't be able to do crazy stuff with them anymore.
Reincarnation? what's that? a silly fantasy... Be born anew while carrying your old memories? DON"T F*CK WITH ME!!! Why should I choose to live on knowing that I won't see my loved ones anymore?!
My friends, my family, my loved ones... They must be so heartbroken right now...
My friends might be joking about be rising form my coffin to watch the latest release right now. My family might be crying beside my coffin.
My girlfriend might be the one to take my death the hardest. We were childhood friends. She was there beside me when I died. I know she might be blaming herself right now. Her family died a few weeks ago and now I was the one to be buried six feet under. She is probably feeling devastated right now,,,
Why must I be the one to die?! How can that 'SUPREME GOD' even slip?! SHE's A F*CKING GOD!!!
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY MUST IT BE ME?!
----------------------------------------
Soft hands cupping my cheeks brought me back to the present. The hands were Tia's. She looks so hearbroken.
"I'm sorry..." she said in a small voice before hugging me. "I know it's painful to be ripped away from your loved ones. I know haw painful it is to not see your loved ones anymore... so let it out... let it all out..."
At her behest, I cried at her bosom. It may have lasted minutes or hours, all I know is that somehow I've fallen asleep...
----------------------------------------
When I woke up, Tia was cradling my head in her lap (Goddess Lap Pillow GET!). After my episode, I felt a little relieved. Tia might have noticed me stirring as she was looking at me with a kind smile.
"C-can I see them one last time?" I asked her.
"I'm sorry but I cannot allow that." her answer was as I expected.
"Figures..." Standing up, I asked her another question "so what now, do I choose or something?"
"Yes, but before you choose, remember this," she said. "It must be painful to leave them behind but you can always make new bonds..."
Make new bonds. These words echoed in my mind. Yes. Even though I won't see them again, I can still make new connections... They won't be replaced in my heart but I can still fill the void... I know they wish for me to be happy. I know they will understand my decision. I know they will accept my decision...
"Y-you're right..." I told her. "I choose the second option. I choose to be reincarnated."
"Very well, and as for the gift, what do you want?" she asked me in return. "An ability, or a perk, or even a boon? Ask and we shall give it to you..."
"What I want is ********"
With that light enveloped my form. The final words I heard was "Good Luck..."
----------------------------------------
The Goddess stood still as HIS soul reincarnated. She was guilt plagued her heart. She knew what she did was wrong but it was neccissary. She can't let THAT world perish. After all, it was her homeworld before she ascended.
"That was unbecoming of you" said a voice. "was that truly neccissary?"
"Yes..." she answered. "With a soul as powerful as HIS, THAT world can be saved..."
"Very well," the voice said to her, "however, you must bear the consequences of HIS actions in THAT world... Whether they may be good or evil"
She snorted at his statement, "You and I both know that there is no good or evil in the universe..."
"Very well," the voice spoke once more. "I trust that you'll watch his actions down there?"
She nodded. "I'll be guiding him to make the right decisions..."
"Very well" with that, the presence dissappeared.
"There is no good or evil... there is only balance and chaos..." Taxtia whispered to herself as she dissolved into motes of light...
