I open my eyes and see 3 holy-like beings looking at me with a mixture of awe and pity.  There is one woman and two men, each carrying their own divine feeling.  As I am looking at them I feel a breeze tickle below me… wait…

I look downwards and notice that one again my luck seems to be a little low, again.  I am standing in the presence of such being with as much clothing on as a newborn… basically clothes is non-existent.  *Sigh*

The female looks at me and giggles, then she waves her hands and clothing appears on me.  Despite it being clothing, it seems like the female divine being has a little humor side of her as I am wearing a black, fluffy dress.  Let me remind you that I am an 18 year old MALE.

[Boy 1]  “*ahem*, well then, welcome hero”

[Me]  “Ah, yeah… hey.  I don’t mean to be rude… but… well, why are you calling me hero?  No, better yet, who are you people?!”

[Boy 1]  “I am Zeus, the god of XP!”

[Boy 2]  “I am Poseidon, the god of Skills!”

[Girl]  “I am Kat, the goddess of beauty!”

… WHAT?!

Last time I checked Zeus is a lightning god, Poseidon is the water god, and Kat is not the name of the goddess of beauty!

[Zeus]  “Fear not, for you are the god’s hero!  We shall not harm you!”

[Me]  “Those names…”

[Kat]  “Yeah, those no-good barbarian humans messed up big time when it comes to us gods, and when these two idiots decided to try to get famous they ended up as superior gods of things completely unrelated to them.  Hahahahaha… that was soooo worth watching!”

[Me]  “And I am the hero to gods how?”

[Poseidon]  “Well we are going to have to go back a little into the past.  We gods once have to seal this really evil calamity bringer; however the price was so great that all the gods have to give up all their luck to do so.  Well, at first we really didn’t think too much about it until accident kept happening one after another and entire universes would go BOOM!  After a while we decided that we needed to steal some luck from the inhabitants of the different worlds, but there was NEVER enough.  That when on until we stumbled upon a superior lucky family… but even then they would never even make a dent in the luck we need!  That was, until a certain woman got pregnant.  After that the amount of luck she had was amazing, and all of it was coming from her unborn child!  The amount of luck in that one being would be able to save all the gods, so it was only natural that we would take it!  Unfortunately we were so caught up in the task that we forgot to let you keep any luck for yourself, LOL!  You had enough luck for ALL of the gods combined!!! Anyway we are here to repay you!”

*Twitch*  *Twitch*

For some reason my left eye keeps twitching…

[Me]  “So you mean to tell me that the entire reason my life has been so unlucky is because of some gods who can’t even remember to let me keep any luck?!”

[Gods]  “Uh… well… technically… *sigh*, yeah…”

*Twitch*

[Me]  “And did it ever occur to you that you could send some luck back down to me?!”

[Kat]  “Well, no one really wanted to lose their new-found luck and we really wanted to be lucky, so we may have just let you be a tad unlucky…”

[Me]  “A tad… tad… my life has been just a tad unlucky… just a tad let a house catch fire… just a tad… tad…”

[Zeus]  “Umm… did we break him”

[Poseidon]  “He’ll be fine… I think”

[Zeus]  “Hmm…”

[Kat]  “Anyways, should we talk about the entire reson we called him up here?”

This sentence brought me out of the trance-like state that I had entered, and once again the talk returned to it’s more serious state.

[Poseidon]  “Luke, today you are here to be reincarnated in a world of your dreams!!!”

[Zeus]  “You will also have a gift from each of us that will equal the price of the luck that you gave us!”

[Me]  “So your basically using my luck as payment for 3 gifts?”

[Zeus]  “Yep.”

[Kat]  “I, Kat, give you charm that non-other has ever seen before!”

…wait… I really don’t need that…

[Poseidon]  “I, Poseidon, give you the passive ability that all skills you have or gain will automatically be set to max!”

[Zeus]  “Fufufufu… I, Zeus, give you the power to gain more XP (experience points) then the world has ever known!  XP will be limited to the amount of luck that you had so caringly donated!”

…Why is this sounding so much like a game?  Skills?  XP?

[Kat]  “Well, good luck and off you go!!!”

[Me]  “WAIT!!!”

A bright light engulfs me and I feel a sucking motion on my soul.  Then, the bright light dims down, and all is calm once again.  I am stuck in a dark place when suddenly I feel another sucking motion, this time on my body.  My head suddenly feels cold air and by body follows.

  Welcome to Aredia 

... As I am staring dumbfounded at this screen my eyes start to water.  Then I loud, obnoxious crying is heard… which I later found was coming out of my own mouth.  A woman, lying on her bed, looks at me with tender love and takes me into her arms.

[Mom?]  “Its alright… Mama’s here… shhhh… it will be okay…”

Then, as my mom is attempting to coo me a large, muscular man suddenly opens the door with enough pressure to send wind all the way to the other side of the room.  His fearsome eyes then lock onto me and I sense more fear from him than my bad luck.  He then takes threatening steps towards me and soon arrives at the bed side.  No!  Someone take him away!  He’s too scary!  Wait… Mom, why are you handing me to him!!!  NOOOOOOOOOO!”

[Man]  “Look at our little girl… your so cute, yes you are, yes you are!”

…*sigh*, I am starting to get a really bad headache.  This large and scary man now has a lopsided grin upon his face and is holding me like I were the most precious gem in the entire world.  I can no longer think of him as scary...

[Mom]  “Yes, she’s our daughter after all.  It’s only natural that she takes after us!  Her name is Ivy, because she reminds me of the Lunas Ivy Flower that blooms only once every 100 years.”

[Dad]  “Hey there Ivy!”

Is it just me or do I hear a lot of ‘she’ and ‘her’… now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t feel something down there that should be there…  d-did those gods t-take that from me!!!

I start crying once again, and all the while Mom and Dad are trying to coo me and discussing this and that.
