Although he had been assured that the machine's purpose was just to read his brainwaves, Daniel's life passed through his mind in an instant as he felt himself being strapped tightly onto the chair.

Left at the steps of an orphanage when he was just a month old, Daniel had the stamp 'orphan' branded on him from a young age.

Thankfully, the orphanage was run by a kind old woman who took great care of the kids. Although they lived frugally, Daniel remembered his childhood as being mostly pleasant.

Always showing remarkable results in studies, Daniel won a scholarship after scholarship and entered college, looking forward to graduating and earning money to send back to the orphanage. He considered all of the children in the orphanage as his little brothers and sisters and wished for them to have a happy life.

Disaster struck in the form of the son of a politician. One day, he had accidentally bumped into a guy who was avidly pursuing a girl. The guy had an opened bottle of water in his hands, which spilled onto his pants.

Used to a frugal life, Daniell was a fragile boy. The bump had sent him careening onto the floor resulting in everyone looking at them to see what the commotion was.

Seeing the water on the pants of the boy, a few people ended up laughing. The girl also smirked before leaving the guy who looked at Daniel with a murderous expression on his face.

Since then, every day was hell for Daniel. Such a silly accident would have amounted to nothing if it were someone normal, but the guy in question was the son of a very rich and influential politician. Drunk with money and power, the guy wanted to make Daneel wish that he had never been born, and he did everything he could to make him feel so.

Nameless people beat him up. His scholarship was canceled with no reasons given. He was evicted from the hostel and the shop where he had been working part-time kicked him out.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Homeless and hungry, Daneel had to scavenge for food on the roads for the first time in his life.

Mainly not wanting to disappoint the kind old lady and impose on the orphanage, Daneel had to live in the most disgusting conditions imaginable for several weeks.

One day, he saw an advert calling any able volunteers for some 'harmless' scientific experiments. The payout was good and the company seemed legitimate.

Looking forward to the first decent meal in weeks, Daniel stumbled into the advertised clinic, thin, with skin clinging to his bones which were visible due to the malnourishment.

The staff was all very accommodating, giving him a full meal first and allowing him to bathe and shave.

Overjoyed by the hospitality, Daniel decided to do everything in his power to pay them back.

Later on, he was told what the experiment was. The clinic was recording brainwaves to make a database for a new biometric system. For this, they needed volunteers. Volunteers would simply be strapped to a chair and drugged asleep while a machine placed on the head would collect data.

It seemed too good to be true. It was almost as if one was being paid to sleep.

An ominous feeling washed over Daniel as he was strapped to the chair with electrodes connected to his head.

Something was injected into his arm which made him very drowsy.

The last moment before he fell asleep, a jolt of electricity was felt racing into his body from the electrodes on his head.

The last thing he remembered before he lost consciousness was a pain. Pain throughout his body, as if he had been set on fire and was being burnt alive.

Then he heard a man voice said to him

" wake up "

He was scared he didn't know who voice that was but he had to wake up sometime so he should wake up now that he had to do

When he opened his eyes he saw a man in his fifties he didn't know who this man was he didn't know what was going he didn't know anything

"Finally you wake up I was waiting a while now"

This man was talking so casually like they were friends for a long time now he had to find out who was this man before him

"Who are you," Daniel asked with fear in his voice

The strange man before him looked puzzled he didn't know why this child was so fearful of him but then again he understands

" I am what mortals referred to as God "

Daniel was frightened even more this man was a God but why he would what to talk to him why would a God want to talk to him in his mind he was going crazy

'Why would a God want to talk to me' Daniel thought

"I am not a God I am the God, " God said with a bit of anger

This man was claiming to be God what those that mean God was speaking to him why would God want to talk to someone like him

" Can I ask you what you want" he tried to make his voice not waver

When God saw this he laughed he could see this mortal was trying to be serious but he could not help but laugh

Daniel saw that God was laughing at him he could not help but feel a bit of anger at god but he wasn't going to make it show

God saw that he was upset so he stops laughing and then he got serious and then looked more godly then he said to the mortal

" I am sorry, but now that we got that out of the way I want to tell you that I am going to reincarnate you "

He couldn't follow for a while then he understood what God was saying when he said to God

" God, if I am going to reincarnate, can I be in a loving family "

God looked at Daniel sized him up and then said

"No, I was thinking that you could reincarnate as a God of destruction"

This was insane God was really was going to make him reincarnated as a God there couldn't be greater joy in life than to be a powerful entity

"Yes I would like that "

Daniel chose to be a God because he didn't want to be weak again he wanted to be strong that people would bow down to him that they would fear his name

" Alright then goodbye oh and you will see your attendant "

"Wai-"

He saw light surrounded him and then he was gone
