"Welcome new soul, you are dead! If you would please float forward, and proceed to passing trought that circle. We can start the process of your next step." A divine beautiful women said behind a desk. Their was alot of document on it, she held a smile like if everything in the world was okay.
Floating forward the soul pass trought the circle that was just up in the air, it didn't seem to be attach too anything. This should be impossible, but then again he was dead so the things he once knew didnt seem to applied anymore.
"Excuse me, but why I'm I so calm about this? I seem to vaguely remember that I was never this compose to new and well odd things."
The goddess nodded as if she half expected the question, he couldn't see any hint of annoyance or mockery. If he tried too describe her look, he wouldn't be abble too, her lookes seem to shift from one to another seemingly. From blond to dark, eyes colours warping into all colours in seconds. The whole processe did nothing but made her even more beautiful, giving an air of out worldly beauty.
"You see, long ago Urlearnor the devastator of holes became fed up in dealing with soul being overcome by their emotions. So he created this place and many like it, all in order to inforce a calming effect on the souls and also a kind of hypnosis so that every soul who pass here accept their new reality. Ever since then, the over use of power by divine being have been at a all time low." She said with a huge warm smile.
That smile sent all kinds of feeling in the soul, feelings like wanting too do anything just to see her smile once more.
"Oooh okay. Uhm what happens now?"
"Well, since you've already pass throught the circle. Just give me a minute so I can bring up your life onnnnnn, oh earth. That a nice one, very high level for a good life their, very few bad things going on. Still a bit primitive in their outlook on life, sigh their biggest ennemy is still themselves. Who ever is in charge over their, they are definitely lazy." She went on, revealing things that if the people back home would hear a few might feel a little shame in knowing what the world of Gods thought about them.
"Wait does it mean that God exist?" The soul spoke in surprise and confusion.
"Huh, well I guest your talking about Bob, yeah his definitely been avoiding his duties. Well can't say I blame him, every time he tried to help, everyone constantly got his name wrong. Its gets very demoralizing when those your s'oppose to look out for keep thanking a state of being instead of the actual being it self. You know he's tried for a few hundred years now, in switching with someone else. But no one wants too, we all get a kick out of it watching him sweat." The goddess told him in a almost gossipy tone, only to fall into a fit of giggles.

The goddess laught was as distracting as her smile, the soul just blank out as he was lost in his own little world. Sure what she had just revealed would know doubt cause many back on earth too panic or scream in disbelief. This could potentially alter the very reality that people and their faith had cultivated for years on earth. But in a odd way it made sense, why was it that so many different divine deity existed on earth. The fact that earth was past over to other as part of a dutie made some sense.
"Ah here we are, now lets get a look at your life. Hum, you seem pretty plain." She said in a little disappointed tone.
The soul had to bite back an urge to grove and apologize for not doing more. He smiled in joy at her next words.
"Still you've done alot of good around you, nice persone in all. You've been really unlucky in love, but a good family. Your daugther will grow up to be a spark, that will effect many. Your own action in life have been mostly on the good side. Okay I got enought for an estimate. You now have just about 5780 karma in this life. Not bad but not good either."
"So what do I do with the Karma?"
"Well first let me tell you your options. The first and most common option, for those who come from your earth. Is to return to earth and add their karma to their new life, you can use it to be born in a more privilage family, or use it to upgrade yourself. Like increase intelligence or a heathy body that wont get sick from cancer or the likes. You could also choses not to use it up, and accumulate it in your next life. A few did it and they return with a good chunk more, but be advise that if you do choses that, life does get much harder. You become a sorte of beacon, so life on earth will test you alot. The flip side is if you manage to overcome the test, the reward are very generous."
The soul was stun, it soon came to realize that people in history who seem to live extraordinary lives could have been thoses who choses that very option. He knew that deep down he wasn't realy up for it. Life on earth had been nice, but he had alway found that he just didn't seem to fit in their.
"what are the other option?" The soul said with a conviction, if his years of reading webnovel told him anything it was that the option he wanted might exist.
The Goddess smiled she seem to understand exactly what he wanted.
"Well, things aren't liked most of the stories, yes I can send you to a different world. And no, getting a system is impossible in any shape or form."
"Why yes for one but no for the other?" The soul ask, a brief idea of possibility pass over in his mind.
"Sigh, the system thing is just plain broken, it tends too created more work for the rest of use in cleaning up after the user. Also the power up are to fast and the user tend to get corrupted in the long run. They ultimatly destroy whatever universe their in, sure on paper it seem fine. But once they are out in the world, the system and user become twisted in the long run. Long story short its possible for you or anyone in ascending to Godhood. But you need to walk on that path by yourself, as the system user well any roadblock that are their for a reason, they simply steam role over it. The first few levels it not to bad, but its the final few steps that should never be taking lightly. The user if they just steam over thoses steps, well we tend to get being of pure madness and chaos."
"Ah so no system, got it."
