“Hello my dear Natalia, How long I have waited for the day you would be sent to me. Our last chat was so… Exciting!” said the woman standing in front of me.

“Wha… Who are you? I know I died, but where is this and what is going to happen to me?” I was asking in a echoey voice. “What was that! Thats not my voice!” I paused at and looked at her because I felt that the woman who was obviously staring at me was going to explain.

“Natalia, I was just wondering when you were going to let me explain the situation and you immediately looked at me with questioning eyes.” She sighed, “I see the gift I gave you from our last meeting looks to be treating you well, it seems.” She shook her head incredulously.

“Gift?” I asked quizzically.

“Yes, after each reincarnation I give each person born under my banner, 1 gift, or ability if you will, of their choosing for their next life.” She explained. “The old abilities that were given are forgotten when you enter your new body. Although, you won’t remember what gift your previous life picked for you.” She snickered like it was a funny joke.

I felt a tingle from my “gift” when she explained about the abilities. Then I asked, “So? Now what? Do I pick my “gift” and get sent to my next life?”

“No!” She shouted, “First you must choose the world in which you wish to live in. I have the power to send you to 3 worlds, the number has diminished from the past because I am running out of worshippers. By the way, gods gain power for each worshipper that prays to them. You are one of only four people born under my banner, as my godly power cannot support more.” She started to sit down. As she sat, a plain wooden chair appeared below her and she proceeded to sit on it. I gaped at the chair that materialized out of thin air. “What? I am a goddess… Why is that surprising…” She asked with a questioning look.

“I’m sorry give me sometime to wonder at the intricacies of your goddess-ness,” I stated sarcastically, “This is all new to me… So how do we get started?”

“We begin by selecting a world, then we select a race that the selected world can produce. After you select your new race, I will allow you to make minor modifications to your face and body to fit your liking, and hopefully your new personality’s liking.” She snickered.

“Well then lets get this over with…” I said angrily at her snickering form. She proceeded to lift her hands toward me and three big globes popped into existence a few feet from me. Each globe had a few continents and vast oceans of water. They were much like Earth but each land mass looked nothing like the continents of earth. “Why can’t I choose Earth?” I demanded.

“Because earth has left my realm of influence, child.” She chided me like it was obvious. “If I could, in some way, get more followers than I would become stronger and gain more power in other realms. That includes the realm that harbors Earth.”

“Fine then if I became your champion and found you more followers would you be able to influence more realms?” I asked in a serious tone.

“Oh Natalia, you make my old heart beat with renewed vigor. If you could somehow ensure to get me more followers I would be able to influence more realms. However, the process you speak of is not an easy one. The other gods that are worshiped on these three worlds do not take kindly to those that seriously interfere with their worship.” She stated grimly. “However this is all in vain as you will forget all that has been said here as soon as you enter your new body.”

“Not if my one gift was to remember everything from my past life, including what has been said here.” I said with a glint in my eye.

“Natalia, Natalia, oh how I do love that beautiful mind of yours. Not many people have found this particular loophole around the gifting rules. In fact the total amount that have found it since I have been alive, which is an extremely long time, is only 16… that is including you of course.” She genuinely smiled at me. “If you could become my champion and be willing to find me new worshippers I would be willing to give you a boon for each amount of worshippers you collect.” She proceeded to snap her fingers and a table that showed boons compared to worshippers popped up in front of me like an information window from an RPG game.

“Whoa!” I screamed and smacked at the floating information panel while staggering backwards because I was not expecting it to randomly pop up in front of me. After falling on my ass and having the “goddess” laugh her ass off at me; I looked at the information on the panel.

“Wow so i get my first boon after getting only 1 new worshipper? and then another at 10? How did you come up with these amounts?” I asked.

“Oh, these amounts were agreed upon by all of the gods and goddesses as amounts for a gods champions. The graph for non-champions has the numbers starting at 1,000 and up.”

“Champions? So you can have more than one?”

“Me? No, i cannot support more than 1 champion at this time. However if my power grows…” She looked at me hungrily.

“I get it, I get it… I get you worshippers, you gain power, you get more champions, they get you more worshippers, you gain more power, etc. etc.” I sighed. “So? which world do you think would be easiest to get worshippers on?” She flicked one of her fingers forward and one of the globes moved toward me while the other dissipated.”This one, huh?”

“Yes, this world has many gods and goddesses being worshipped so we will not have to fight for dominance however, setting up a temple and getting people to convert is another matter.” She stated matter of factly.

“Yes, yes, we’ll worry about that when the time comes. Okay let me see the races this world can support.” As I said this a bunch of humanoid races began to materialize in a group in front of me. All of the bodies had lifeless eyes and looked dead. “Oh God, are all of these bodies dead?”

The “goddess” looked at me weirdly, “No they are just waiting for a soul to possess them. They have not been selected yet, and are therefore not even born. They are only an illusion I am showing you for you to see the races in detail, and I mean in detail.” She said while loading her voice with innuendo.

I blushed from her implied wording and proceeded to look at all of the races that I could potentially choose from. I saw a Dragonoid race with scaly skin and long thick tails. There is also a Feline race that had ears and were covered in fur with a long cat tail come from the tail bone. I also saw a Demon-like race that have dark red skin with tattoos that glowed. There was also Orcs, Goblins, Kobolds, Birdmen, and Elves with their beautiful appearance and long ears. I saw all kinds of different humanoid races. Then I saw the human race of this planet. The men were husky, large, and well built. While the women were taller than Earth's average and slightly muscular with large breasts. I also just happened to notice, not that I was looking on purpose, that the men were rather largely well endowed.

“Are these all of the choices? Shouldnt there be more?” I asked wondering about any other races.

“There are other races that are not shown here. However, I do not have the power to force your soul into any other body besides general humanoid ones. Of course that could change.” She said with an obvious lust for power.

“May I see a mixture of elf and human please?” Two figures materialized in front of me while the others faded away. Both were nude, while one was obviously male, the other was obviously female. I blushed deeply as I looked at the male and female pair. “I would like to be female.” I hurriedly said.

The male model disappeared, and I was left with a nude female around 5’ 7”. She had beautiful sky blue eyes that had flecks of green like falling leaves shimmering in their depths. Her hair was the color of a dark amber and it seemed to glow in the fake light of this void. Her body could have been described in one word, Voluptuous. She was equally well endowed in the ways of a female as the men were…

“Wow,” the goddess stammered, “You look good as an elf-human crossbreed. Would you like to keep this appearance?” She was staring at the nude body of the model in front of me.

“I quite like this new body,” I stated smiling. “lets go with that.” As I finished my sentence a big green check mark appeared above the model and above the floating globe that was still hovering nearby. “I guess this is where we say goodbye.”

“Yes, this is it. And once you open a temple and establish said temple as a place of worship to me. I will be able to communicate with you as you are my champion.” As she was speaking my body started to glow and condense. It didn't hurt but I felt myself being pulled toward the model. My “soul” was sucked into the new body and i felt myself dispersing into the atmosphere.

“Hey! Wait! I dont even know your name!” I yelled back at my new goddess.

I heard her laughing reply, “My name is Sylph, do try and gather lots and lots of worshippers for me…”
