Turns out even gods get bored

Turns out even gods get bored

''Welcome little mortal, feel free to get your bearings.''

The ethereal man turned around panicked to find company in what he thought to be an empty white void. once he had turned around he finally got to see where the voice came from, only to find a strange faceless man... no a woman?

''Hahaha, I am neither little mortal. A better question would be how did you get here?''

The ethereal man looked at the androgynous being curiously. What did they mean? It was then it hit him like a truck and all his memories came rushing back. His name, his family, his few friends ands his eventual death. His death by chandelier... HOW IN GODS NAME DID I DIE BY CHANDELIER!

''I should correct you little mortal I don't have a name but its nice to see you have your memories back, Daniel.''

Daniel's eyes widened upon hearing his name. How do they know his name... wait no did it just claim to be God?!

the god spoke with a pleased smile. '' I'm happy to see your quick on the uptake mortal. now you seem to have grasped the situation a little, let me explain some things. you see mortal I'm... bored so unbelievably bored, so I decided to find myself some entertainment by reincarnating people to worlds vastly different from theirs's, to see what kind of havoc they will get up to and you get to be one of them, congrats!''

Daniel looked at God like they were some crazy person. but for reasons beyond Daniels comprehension he believed every word wholeheartedly. before Daniel went along with Gods whims he had to ask just one question, a final string of hope.

''Will I...''

''Nope''

''but I didn't even...''

''I not sending you back. I would have to reverse time to do so and I cant be bothered so no.''

So I'm just at the mercy of some mad God now eh. well there are probably worse circumstances to be in. WHO AM I KIDDING WHY ON EARTH AM I ONE IN THIS SHITTY SITUATION.

''hehe, your just unlucky mortal. I spun my wheel of misfortune and your name came up.''

as God said this, a wheel the size of an entire empire state building showed up behind them. absolutely dumfounding Daniel's brain. but just moment later it vanished like it was all but an illusion.

''Alright all jokes aside, I'm not so cruel as to force some one into being my personal jester without a few gifts and a few choices. But lets solve your confusion first, as amusing as it is.''

the divine being then threw what looked to be a glowing pill straight into Daniels forehead. upon contact of the pill and Daniels skull information suddenly flooded his head like an open dam. the weirdest part of all this was that not only did Daniel know about the dangers world he was about to be whisked away to but he understood it like he had know it since birth. he knew what type of danger he was heading into but also the opportunity he has been granted. In the form of blessings.

after a few moments Daniel finally took a breather, not that he had to he was but a floating soul according to the glowing pill. he finally had some idea as to what the gift offered by the god was but he still was not about the choice she mentioned.

''alright now you finally understand what is actually going on its time you make some decisions mortal. you see in order to make things more interesting I've decided to offer two deals. the first of which is about your beginnings, in simple terms in exchange for me giving you a greater blessing Ill give you a very rough start to your new life. who knows whether you'll be a starving orphan or a slave. As for the second deal you have the choice of keeping your old life's memories or having them pushed into your subconscious in exchange of a greater blessing. what do you say mortal do either of them entice you?''

Daniel paused for a while taking this chance to come to terms with every thing that's been thrown at him in the past like 2 minutes. he didn't feel particularly angry or sad about what was happening, only pure shock but he decided to put that aside for the time being. instead choosing to ponder over the God's offers. but he felt that he lacked to much information so he ask for the God sitting in front of him.

''I'm happy to see your not as power hungry as some of the others, they didn't even think twice. So, to answer your question. the bad start is self explanatory, your born into a hostile environment that's out to get you since day one. whether it be your born in a poor orphanage or your mother is a slave, it will be a struggle to survive. the only upside is that you will have your self an extra greater blessing. as for your memories, you have the choice of either keeping them all intact, or I can stuff them all into your subconscious. this shall make it so that you will still have an understanding of some of the things you learned in your previous life. for an example you will still know how to write but you won't know why.''

Daniel asked curiously '' does that include every thing that's happened here?''

''no little mortal, I'll keep your experience here intact.''

Daniel took a moment to ponder the options offered to him but decided he need to think about what blessing he'll choose among the 3 greater blessings he'll get for free as told by the glowing pill from earlier. but he simply had to many options, he would have even more options if he decided to exchange a greater blessing for three normal ones or one normal blessing for three minor blessings. but after much thinking he realised he was just an ordinary man in an unordinary situation and he would need allies and power and so he made a choice.

With a smile that told of unseen danger the God spoke ''So you have come to a conclusion?''

''Yes, I wish to accept both of your offers. I want five total great blessings''

''Then what are you waiting for. Tell me what it is you desire.''
