A clear, blue, unpolluted sky.
That's what I first saw when I opened my eyes again. I lifted my hands to my face and pinched my cheeks hard
"Sh*t!" I cursed out loud since it hurt a lot.
I rubbed my cheeks then sat up from my lying position from the ground. A smile cracked on my face.
Lush greenery, high quality fresh air, and no sign of metal structures as far as I can see. I wasn't able to hold back and started laughing manically.
I am trully grateful that there was no one around me since they would surely be creeped out if they witnessed my laughing fit. Standing up, I noticed that my line of sight was noticeably lower.
My body was really that of a teenager again. And while the shirt and pants I was wearing was that of the style of this world, the fabric however was Earth technology level.
I unconsciously patted my right pocket habitually, but my phone wasn't there anymore. I gave it to the friendly neighborhood God I met before landing here.
'A few moments ago.'
"Oho, welcome stranger from another world. For my beautiful junior Gaia to make a blunder is rare indeed, but thanks to that oho my eyes were blessed indeed. Young man, welcome to my world."
Since the light surrounding me grew brighter the faster I went, I wasn't able to watch my surroundings as I left Earth. But not even a minute has passed that I heard someone speaking in front of me.
"Uh greetings... God?" After my eyes adjusted from the brightness, I saw an old man in grey robes sitting on a chair madeout of clouds.
Everything was holy looking except for vibes he was giving off. Just by looking at him, he really feels like the grandpas hanging out near a combi and checks out the highschool girls passing by.
"Oho, young man I am quite offended by your thoughts, yet it is such a relief that my presence doesn't scare you." God old dude said to me.
"Uhh, i'm sorry it was just an impression I had, and those pervy grandpas were quite cool too so I instantly got reminded of them because of you."

"Oho, indeed, a man isn't a man if he cannot be a man to his self. What a refreshing young lad you are unlike the previous heroes that got summoned here. They were stiff, but the ladies with them oho were real eye candies."
Indeed this old guy God is a fellow too.
"Now that I have received you properly, as Gaia requested I will have to give you a new body fit for this world, do you have any specifics?"
"Could you make it so that my body would be able to perfectly absorb mana?"
"I was thinking of changes in your looks or size but alright I shall arrange for that body to be able to."
Eh? Oh right!
"Um please give a huge blessing to that place too." I gave the old guy a you-know-what-i-mean smile.
"Oho, Gaia was speaking truth when she said we're kindred spirits alright. Naturally I shall do it." The old man returned the smile.
He truly is a comrade, i'll never forget this favor old guy god.
"Oho, your body is ready, now for the soul. Gaia have told me about you and it seem that you are not like the heroes we've had in the past. But I will give you the skills [Omni-linguistic], [Exp & Proficiency Max], [World Map], [Halved], and their favorite [Item Box]. For unique skills, surely my [God's Eye] will fit a kindred such as you. Now what other Unique skill do you wish for young one?"
That's the cheat starter pack for you, no wonder demon lords always lose unless you're an otherwolder too. But I would be even more of a cheat if I asked for that skill.
"I would like to be able to create my own skills."
I was so nervous but I still kept my eyes locked with the old guy's. But its probably going to be rejected since its an overkill huh.
But not even 5 seconds after, "Oho, it shall be as that then. Although the world's laws won't let you create unique skills, only Gods can do that so until then maybe? Ohohohohoho."
I blanked out first for a moment before a big smile formed on my face.
"But, since I gave you such an incredible unique skill I'll need something from you."
Oh, right. There's no real free meals in this world either huh.
"*ahem* As a kindred spirit surely you understand my plight no? Ohohohohoho.." This time its the old guy God that gave me the you-know-what-i-mean smile.
Oh wait. Could he possibly mean 'that'?
"This is my treasured phone with 100 terabyte of storage filled with only the most artful works I collected over the years, I think it was fated that I leave my partner for years in your hands dear God."
And with that, a young man and an old guy stared into each others eyes, with no words spoken, their hearts resonated. Its the deepest level of communication for men.
"Ohoho, what a truly fine man Gaia sent over. Now are you ready to go down? Once I move your soul to its new vessel, the next time you wake up you'll be inside your new body."
"I shall never forget the favor you've given me God. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!" I bowed in a 90⁰ angle.
"Oho, surely we'll meet again lad. If you need to talk with me there should be statues of me among the curches in the land that worships the God Invas. You may reach unto me in those place and I shall hear you. I wish to discuss more about gentlemanly things with you someday." A very meaningful smile was attached to that last sentence he gave me.
A silver liquid gushed out from his fingers and made its way to me. It continued to envelope my whole body, and the last thing I saw before it completely cover my eyes was that Old Guy staring intently at my phone.
