“What the f***!!!”, I shouted.

“Please mind your language little one, you are in the presence of GOD”,the old man in front of me said.

He had a long white beard and looked like he was in his late seventies, but since he was GOD, he might have been billions of years old.

“Sorry!”, I replied as I bowed my head “ I was just shocked when I heard that I died.”

“I know. It’s not something new that I have never seen before as everyone who dies has the same reaction but the type of language they use is different”, he said ,“well, I don’t particularly mind anyone using vulgar language on their planet but you should strictly refrain from using them here on heaven as you might corrupt the pure minds of the angels living here.”

“I will make sure to keep that in my mind. If I’m correct, didn’t you say something about me dying accidentally before my time??”

“Yes, about that, every person has a limited number of deathly incidents in the day they are supposed to die. But if they are somehow able to survive those incidents, their lifespan is increased and a new death date is fixed for them randomly.”

“So you are saying that the matters of life and death are just a game of luck.”

“You are correct.”

“But I thought you decided whether someone gets to live or not.”

“Initially I did that job but when the human population increased rapidly, it became tedious even for the omnipotent me to look after the lifespan and events of every persons’ life. So I created a program to automate and randomize people’s death. That lifted a big burden from my shoulders. Of course I look after the life span of important people who can change the course of history.”

“So basically you got lazy. I guess that is natural when you are repeating the same job for billions of years without a vacation. But how was my death accidental?”

“I did not get lazy. It was because you humans started to reproduce like cockroaches that I was almost tempted to eradicate your species but I held myself back and made the automatic system so that I would not have a mental breakdown and exterminate you.”

He seemed annoyed by my harsh statement.

“That was informative but you didn’t answer my question.”

“Oh! Sorry, I got carried away. You were supposed to have only two deathly events today which you managed to survive. You are the first person to survive lightning-truck combo in history. But due to your luck running out you happened to have a small accident. Normally it wouldn’t have been deadly for even a child. I guess the last thing you remember is falling down and hitting your head, isn’t it?”

“Yes”

“You were only supposed to lose your consciousness not your life. But here you are due to a bug in the program.”

“Do I get some sort of compensation since I died because of your mistake?”

“Yes, you get a reincarnation but in another world since you were not able to complete your life. You can choose the type of world you want to go to and can also receive a special power of your choice from me as a bonus.”

“Just like I thought, my situation is exactly like that of an another world anime mc. In that case please let me think for a while.”

“Done with the thinking?”

“Not yet. This is a life changing decision so I must think for a while.”

“Take all the time you need.”

.

“I have decided, I want to go to a world where magic, adventurers and leveling up system exists. Basically a RPG world.”

“And what about your power?”

“I would like to have the power to level up faster and extremely high chances of achieving rare and advanced skills.”

“Those were two special powers, but I’ll allow it. Also as a parting gift from my side, I will increase your basic physical abilities so that you will not easily die next time. Also I will make it so that you can easily use magic and also delay your death date, although I cannot tell you when it is. I have also increased your luck reserve so that it won’t runout easily.”

“Thank you GOD. You are very generous.” I say as I bow my head once more.

“Farewell until we meet again.”

Everything was suddenly dark again and I couldn’t feel or move my body. But there was a certain warmth that resembled the warmth in heaven. After a while there was a blinding brightness and I opened my eyes.

There was a blue sky with few patches of white clouds in my field of vision. I was laying on a grassy land. There was a gentle breeze and the climate was moderate.

I got up and looked around myself. I was in an unfamiliar land, all alone. I had reincarnated.
