“hmmm...”

I opened my eyes from my slumber and looked around, only to find myself inside a white endless space.

“What is this place…. Urg! My head hurt like hell!”

“Ohh!... you are finally awake.”(??)

A man’s voice was heard which startled me for a bit, I started looking around trying to find the origin of the voice, but no one was inside the endless space other than me.

“Who’s there? Where are you?” I felt a bit anxious, I wanted to stand but strangely I can’t feel any of my limbs, when I looked down, the only thing that I saw was a pale blue flame, my "heart" beats faster, what happened to my body?

A sudden thought came to me…

“I- am I dead?” panic overcame me as soon as I said those words.

 “W-what happened, I-“I frantically questioned myself the reason of my death.

“Please be calm.”(??)

 An intense light came in front of me.

“Ohh” the light so bright that would normally make one cover their eyes by instinct, yet, I did not take away my gaze from it. It felt warm and gentle, taking away my uneasiness.

The light slowly took shape of a tall mid-40’s uncle, he’s clothes are similar to those on ancient Rome and a golden leaf crown is on his head, his looks are almost perfect but.

“Shiny….ah! Sorry” crap I accidentally blurted out something taboo.

*Gikuri* A vein on the man hairless head is currently pulsing.

“ahem….  I am called Demclas the overgod of this world ‘Matrea’, also called the Chief God of light by the inhabitants of this world. You are inside a realm where time doesn’t exist which I like to call Pandoras Box, a realm created just for these kinds of cases by me. By the way, the world you are from ‘Earth’ is also inside my jurisdiction (in short-long story: he is the boss in earth and all the minor gods there are under his wing/command); and you young man, died last night from exhaustion because of working five days straight non-stop.”(Demclas)

“eh?... seriously?”

“Seriously Seriously”(Demclas)

Is what god said with a solemn face while nodding.

After a few minutes of silence, I suddenly remembered why I was working so hard for.

“Aah! W-what about the earned money for my friend's operation? D- did it perhaps fail?”

I unconsciously raised my voice by a few levels.

Demclas’ eyes widened a bit before giving me a gentle smile.

“It’s alright, I’ll be taking care of your best friend’s sickness”(Demclas)

“I, I see, alright, thank you”

My anxiety faded as I breathe out a sigh of relief.

“huhu… looks like I really got lucky finding you m.............”(Demclas) said in a whispering tone

“Sorry, what was that?”

God said something while looking like he's satisfied with something but I did not hear it clearly.

“Ahh. It’s nothing,*ahem* anyways, I shall explain to you as to why you’re here. “(Demclas)

“….Yes, please” I didn’t pursue it and just answered. 

God nodded and started to explain.

In a long story short: ‘Matrea’ the world that I will be sent to was attacked by a Vagrant god; the chief god and a couple of minor gods fought and successfully destroyed it. But before the vagrant god got killed it managed to drop a fragment of himself into Matrea, giving birth to an existence which came to be the demon king. The gods wanted to kill the demon king but they cannot directly interfere with the world of mortals, so instead, they sent four heroes from different worlds to help Matrea’s inhabitants. The heroes were on par with the demon king in terms of strength, but the demon kings armed forces/army far surpasses matrea’s inhabitants strength by a hundredfold, not only the demon kings army far outnumbered the defenders, the unity of Matrea’s inhabitants isn’t very strong, and with a few twists and turns, the heroes and Matrea’s inhabitants were defeated. Matrea is now conquered by the demon king and the former inhabitant of Matrea is either enslaved or instinct. 

“*slurp*… I see, such a tragic thing happened, such pitiful people.”

I listened to God's story while drinking a few (floating) cups of tea (can’t taste anything) using my non-existing hands,(after all, I’m just a clump of blue flame.)

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

“Wait, a question…. you’re not going to send me there to brawl with the demon king and his army alone are you?”

“ohh…that sound amusi-*ahem*  I mean of course not…”(Demclas)

Gods’ eyes looked serious.

“Oi!”

“ahahaha sorry sorry I’m just messing with you”(Demclas)

I coldly looked at the god who's laughing whiles covering his mouth and making an annoying face.

“….”

“*ahem* anyways back to the topic. I’ll be sending you to Matrea, thirty years before the birth of the demon king and you shall build a force that can rival them and their army.”(Demclas)

“Wait, won’t it be much better to just kill the demon king after their birth?”

“Unfortunately, we cannot.”(Demclas)

 “Why not?”

“The vagrant god made sure that we cannot kill the demon king by isolating a tenth of the world using his own divinity to create a barrier.”(Demclas)

“I see, then how long will the barrier last?”

“Thirty years after his birth” (Demclas)

“I’ll have sixty years to prepare huh. And will the four heroes still come? ”

“Yes, a human kingdom will conduct the summoning a year and a half after the demon king’s birth.”(Demclas)

“I see,” I said while nodding.

“Well then, shall we start creating your body?”(Demclas)

“Eh? Ah… now that I think about it”

I looked at my blue flickering body and returned my sight to god.

God closed his eyes, he lifted his hands a few moments later and a white mass appeared within his palm. "Time" slowly passed and my body to be, started taking form. The skeletal system materialized followed by hundreds of nerves forming, fibers of muscles and flesh, internal organs and the leathery skin with steel-like white scales. He then threw my body to be after completing it.

Boom!

My miniature body in the air slowly got a lot bigger before landing with a booming noise.

“Fuuu, so…. do you like it?”(Demclus)

God wiped his forehead with a handkerchief although there’s no sweat.

In front of us is a white giant winged lizard, No, a majestic, four-winged white dragon proudly stood in front of us.

“Holy sh-….” I almost said something rude in front of god, but immediately corrected myself “Err Yes? I mean.... why is it so large?”

“Large? Pffft no way. It’s just the average size for an adolescent dragon”(Demclas) said while waving his hand.

“What was that? You’re calling a two hundred something meter long dragon ‘Just’ average?”

also

"….still on its teens!?” I who is standing beside god involuntarily shouted.

“Ouch, hey, you don’t have to shout, I’m not deaf”(Demclas)

I put my non-existing hand into to my non-existing face with a sigh.

"anyways, can you make it a bit smaller?"

The sheer size of it is too eye-catching, dragons are also a target for subjugation in novels that I’ve read before, and getting hunted by a great number of hunters, knights, and mages is not a laughing matter.

God smiled and his expression looked like he knew what I was thinking and said.

“You don't need to worry about being hunted; the number of people that can kill you in Matrea is almost nonexistent, there’s no need to summon the four heroes and yourself if there are people that have the same strength with this body of yours, and if you really do get hunted down by the inhabitants of Matrea, then that only means you’re a big joke. Besides, your body will also have this ability” (Demclas)

God said so while having a meh expression and pointed at the huge dragon(me), and a light suddenly shrouded its(my) entire body, the light faded and left behind an adolescent elf wearing white full body armor.

“Your original face is still the same except for the hair color and some parts of your body. The armor is something that is a part of you and can change it at will, come and I’ll start binding you into this body”(Demclas)

White hair that goes all the way to the chest, pointed elf-like ears, silver-colored slit iris', height about 165 centimeters, the face is… if this world’s sense of beauty is the same as my old world, quite good…I guess.

“alright” I nodded my head and drew closer into the dragon’s forehead

‘Ohm’ I felt a strong Vibration from within my very soul, and my head started to hurt a little bit.

Moments later my eyes opened, I blinked a couple of times till my vision adjusted to the white space. I looked at my hands while opening and closing them. I took a few deep breaths and started to walk, my first few steps were very clumsy just like a baby, but after walking for a couple of minutes my walking phase started to smoothen, after familiarizing myself with jumping and running I turned back into a dragon and practiced my movements some more fully grasping my new body.

God started talking to once again.

“You’ve synchronized with your new body pretty fast there.” god said with a smile

I did not say anything, no, there’s nothing to say. My face right now probably has a wide smile on it.

“Come here, I’ll start imparting you the necessary items, skills, and knowledge for your mission.”(Demclas)

A string-like light came out of his hand and connected into my forehead. A massive flow of different kinds of information pertaining to different types of languages, history, martial arts, and magic arts started flashing into my mind.

So much information is getting cramped into my head that I started to get dizzy.

God retracted his hand and stopped the flow of information.

“That should help you well in your future endeavors, Get a bit of rest until the dizziness goes away”(Demclas)

“T-thanks….”

I lay down with my eyes closed to concentrate and arrange my disoriented thoughts, only recovering after a while.

“haha, now put your hands on top of mine”(Demclas)

God lifted his hands towards mine.

I put my left hand on top of his. *sshiii* a sun-like mark appeared on my palm before disappearing.

“What is it for?”

“Hmmm…. you'll know in the future, but you can just think of it as a token of our meeting here”(Demclas)

“I see--” before I had the chance to say the rest, God's expression suddenly turned odd.

”…!!”

A hole suddenly appeared bellow me, before I started to fall.

“Go! Save Matrea, although I say that, this is a new life for you, do enjoy it as best as you can.”(Demclas)

Demclas said with a playful yet sad smile.

I didn’t even have any chance to scream before blacking out.

_

“It came much quicker than I thought”(Demclas)

Demclas looked at his hands which has started becoming transparent as if it could fade into nothingness at any moment.

“A god using most of his own divinity in just creating a body is unheard-of while using the whats left to create divine items and sending him through space and time. Now, my body has started its collapse.”(Demclas)

Using his last bit of strength, Demclas peered through space.

A world is reflected in his eyes. A once beautiful planet full of life, now covered in eternal darkness devoid even a single bit of liveliness in its past.

He then looked past ‘Matrea’ and countless worlds came and go. All of them have a single similarity. ‘Lifeless’ covered by the aura of death.

Demlcas’ eyes clouded with sorrow and regret which only lasted in but a second.

He smiled and said

" I have done everything I could, I give my blessing you m...“
