Chapter One: The Last Miniature, Earth

There was a man named "Albert Kellerian" During his childhood just like a child he loved little things and when he grew up nothing was changed, he still loved his little things, he started to build miniature buildings at first these were only couple of buildings and then things got bigger as he got old and when he reached thirty he fell in love with a woman, a woman so beautiful that she was a top model and she was ten years younger than him but both of them were in love with each other the moment they met.

After they were married, they started to live together, she liked miniatures and so she helped him but after years passed, she started to think about his miniature hobby turned into an addiction, she started to hate the miniatures he built but that wasn't hate, it was pure jealousy, she wanted more attention for herself and one day she destroyed one of his favourite miniatures, it was a miniature village, the village he grew up in.

Seeing this Albert, went mad like an animal, and he murdered his wife, but there was more to that, Albert wanted to make human miniatures and to do that he needed to have knowledge about human body, and there was a corpse in front of him, he started to butcher his beautiful wife without sadness, to him this seemed like a research for his miniatures.

One week later cops arrived due to a call from his neighbours, they were complaining about a bad smell and when they arrived, he was arrested immediately. During his trial everyone believed he was a crazy man, and he was a crazy man too and he was sent to a mental hospital, he stayed twenty years there during his time he made many masterpieces of humans, one was a bazaar and the other was a festival, they sold for millions of dollars.

After getting out of the mental hospital, this man found himself with lots of money, and so he bought a house from the village he was born in, he turned the old house into a store and opened his miniature store, he really didn't get customers because of his madness but some collectors always bought from him, those were the men with money but Albert didn't care about and so he reached the age hundred.

That day, he woke up just like always from his bed, and wore his slippers, he was a hunchback man now, he wore his glasses and opened the doors to his shop, he was expecting this day to be normal so he started to work on his last project, a miniature earth, the miniature was so big that he had to turn his garden into a building to preserve the miniature.

And while he was working, there was a sound.

***Cling***

This sound came from his store bell, he dropped the wood that he was working on, and went to the store when he arrived he saw a woman touching his miniatures.

"DONT TOUCH THAT" He yelled with all of his might, the woman dropped the miniatures and turned to him with a smile. "Those are really great" He looked up to the woman's face but all he could see was her mouth and her golden long hair, the rest was covered by the sunshine, he blamed it on his eyes and didn't care about it.

"How can I help you madam ?" He wanted to know what she was looking for, because normally the only customers would be kids from the village or the men with money.

"Oh, I heard you were doing a miniature of the earth, can I take a look at it ?" When she asked this question Albert realized her beauty only from her hair, mouth and voice and said "Follow me" Normally he would have just said no to a normal person but this woman felt different, she completely seduced him with her beautifulness, he just couldn't say no to her. 

He opened the door and the light. "How beautiful! This must be world's eight wonder" She was amazed by his wonder, and she jumped from the barrier and started to run in it. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING" He wanted to chase after her but he was scared that he would break some of his miniatures, and he kept yelling but she paid no heed and then he noticed that, her steps were so gentle that, nothing was getting broken or moved, like she wasn't even touching the earth itself.

After running like a child, she turned to Albert. "Mister, I want to buy it" He sat down with a big grin on his face. "Kid, unless your father is the world's richest man I doubt you can buy it, I have worked on his for twenty years and it is not even finished" She smiled back to him, for a moment he expected to hear these words "Yes, my father is the richest person in the world" But then he heard this sentence. "Then let's make a deal, I will show you my miniature earth and if you think my earth is better than yours, I will take it free, but if you think my earth is worse than yours, you can have my miniature earth for free"

He started to laugh, This laugh was the only laugh he had since he went to prison, he laughed so much that his eyes were full. "Sure..Sure I accept"

"Then let's go" As soon as she said that, they were somewhere else, he was still sitting on his chair. He was so surprised that he thought he died and went to heaven but there she was looking at him. "Look at my earth"  Albert saw the earth itself, he started to walk to it and he touched the sea, his hand went in and he pulled it out instantly because it felt like he was really putting his hand in the sea, he started to look more and more, he looked at it so much that days passed leaving his body without any water or food, he collapsed on the cloudy floor but he wanted to look more so he begged to her. "Please, I accept yours is better than mine but let me look at it more" He kept staring at her, but he still couldn't see her face.

She walked by him and sat on his chair, the chair was behind him and he couldn't turn his eyes from the earth.

 "Let me give you an example, let's say there is a poor man and there is a rich man, both of them want to make a car, the poor man is so poor that he can't even afford his food, and the rich man is so rich that he can buy any material he wants, and after years both of them make a car, the poor man's car is terrible but it works, the rich man's car is beautiful and fast, so which one of those cars are more impressive to you"

Without a thought Albert replied. "The poor man's car because it was made through hardship"

"You are exactly right, now replace the rich man with a goddess and replace the poor man with a mortal human. That is exactly our situation, I think your creation is far better than mine so let's make a deal"  She said.

"I just want to see this, I will accept anything" Even though they were talking Albert was looking at the earth.

"Okay, I will take your earth and I will give you another life, in that life you will make miniatures for me, every year you will have to make one or I will take your life and when you make your hundredth miniature I will give you this earth" She offered the deal of his life, literally.

"I accept, I can wait a hundred years to see this" He replied. 

"There are things you want to know first, I will make you a great person in every way possible, knowledge, looks, talent. You will have everyone of those and I will make you a prince, I don't want you to suffer, just to find some materials everything will be delivered to you because you will be a prince" She said.

"Well, If I be a prince wont I get to rule the country, I will need time" He replied.

"You are actually right, very well I will give you a servant, normally she was going to be a great person but who cares, you can do anything with her" She said.

"Okay then let me be reborn" Albert was getting quite hyped up for his life, after all his life was going to be great and his afterlife was going to be great too.

"But there is one thing you need to know, I will give you full protection for three years because you will be a baby and there will be other heroes there, I summon heroes there just to have some fun, some are reincarnated some are born there without memories, some are monsters and to them I might be a goddess in need or a devil giving them punishment but only to you I am the true myself, now you can go" She said.

"Before I go I want one thing" He replied.

"Yes ?" She wanted to know what he was wanting, after all she gave him everything that a human wanted.

"Can I see your face ?" His instincts told him that her face was more beautiful than the earth he saw.

"My apologies, if you see my face then you won't stop thinking about me, and this will cause many problems for you"

"I-I see" He felt like he was just rejected by a girl but he brushed it off.

"Now be reborn" And so Albert closed his eyes to open his eyes as a baby.
