I wake up to find myself wrapped in a crimson silk cloth and laying in a sea of pitch black roses. But the roses I'm lying in are pure white, and when I try to touch one of the black roses, it turns white.

{???}: Interesting...

{Kira}: ?

I turn my eyes to the direction the voice is coming from. And what I see is the outline of a human figure, but in the outline is what looks like a galaxy full of stars.

{Kira}: ............Pretty.

{???}: ...Well, I guess I should say that I didn't expect to hear that.

{Kira}: ...Who are you?

{???}: Now THAT's what I expected to hear first. ..Sorry, I would introduce myself, but I don't have a name, and then again I guess you could call me God?

{God}: I do exist.

{Kira}: ...So you can read minds. Are you also omnipotent like every religious person says?

{God}: ....If omnipotent includes seeing into the future, then no I'm not, but everything else, yes.

I stare at him as he says this, and the only thing can think is how beautiful he is.

{God}: ......If this appearance is too distracting, then should I change?

{Kira}: ! No! Please no! I will listen now!

{God}: ...I know you're a child, but I didn't think you'd be distracted so easily. I probably should try to remember this.

{God}: ..Am I really that pretty? ...Hmm, if you listen to me like a good little boy, perhaps I'll give you a special present later.

{Kira}: ...

{God}: ..Good. Now, do you have any idea of what's going on?

{Kira}: I do not. The last thing I remember is killing myself...

{God}: That is something that couldn't have been helped, and I may be God, but I don't have the power to control fate.

You are here to be reincarnated in a new world, and with all your memories. But you're not the only one, as I have chosen several souls at random to be reincarnated in the same world, a world of castles, swords, monsters and magic. Oh, and some game like mechanics.

{Kira}: ....................................Awesome!

{God}: ........Why do I keep on forgetting that your an eight year old. But apart from that fact, your probably the only one who's said that, and, might I add that when we first met you said 'pretty' and not the usual 'who the hell are you!?' or 'what the fuck is this!?' and the landscape you created here is the most beautiful yet eerie of them all, as most of them were full of blood, flames, pitch black nothing, pure white nothing, clear blue skies, night skies and many many more, AND the attire you're wearing is different, if fact it's just one giant piece of crimson silk cloth.

{Kira}: ...So you did not creat this place?

{God}: No. And I might have to say that I'd probably never even think of this kind of landscape.

{Kira}: Then what is this place?

{God}: ...When anyone dies, the place they end up in is a representation of their soul.

{Kira}: So this place IS my soul, kinda?

{God}: Yes.

I look around and see that the rose I touched before is black again.

{God}: ...I'd say that the black roses represent your death and the ones you killed, while the white roses represent the innocent part of your mind and your innocent childlike appearance. When the black rose turned white to your touch, it was probably an act of, .....protection? And the crimson silk your wrapped in also probably represents something, but I don't know what.

{Kira}: ...I will change the topic. So does everyone get reincarnated as a human or does everyone get to chose?

{God}: ..Neither. I choose what you'll be reincarnated as, by looking at your personality and what your last moments were like, but sometimes I choose by other things.

.........................BUT for you it's different. I've taken a liking to you. I kind feel like your a big brother, but that doesn't mean there's favouritism. ..Do you remember when I said earlier that I'd give you a present? ...Well, I've decided that you'll have the title of being my little brother, and you will have my blessing. Plus a few other things, but I won't tell you those.

<...Can you really say that's not favouritism?>

{God}: Ngh!! I-It's really not! I swear!

{Kira}: I guess it is alright, but, can I really be your little brother? I am not sure I am good enough to be Gods little brother.

{God}: O-Of course you can be my little brother!

I find myself feeling so confused, yet next thing I know I've got a huge smile on my face.

{God > Big Brother}: .............Anyway! You'll be reincarnated soon, but like I told the others, be careful in this new world, and if you pray to me I'll be able to talk with you.

{Kira}: Yes, Big Brother!

{Big Brother}: .........*!!blush!!* ...Ok, it's time to 'go' now. Just lay down and close your eyes, then you'll move on into your next life.

{Kira}: Okay. But it sucks now that I think about it, because I'll be born from a woman.

{Big Brother}: Ha! I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

{Kira}: Wh-...?

I suddenly feel sleepy, and I can't say anything as I've lost what I was going to say. I look towards G-..Big Brother and look at his 'galaxy'.

<..It's pretty, with all those stars and lights dancing around. .......Really, .........pret....ty.>

Everything goes black.
