Chapter 3
MC’s POV
I’m on the land of dreams once again. How many times have I been here I do not remember anymore, but one thing is sure there is something different this time around.
My dream started off the same as before. I was back on earth but this time I was with a family of my own, loving wife and great children, I guess it was the “what ifs” of my life on earth, but after a while the view distorted and I was again faced by God. My frustration in not being able to move my body and my weakened state aggravated me.
MC: “God?! Why am I here? It feels like it has been a while and I still can’t move my body or remain awake for a while. You did not tell me that my life in this world would be that of an invalid?!”
I knew that complaining to Him is rude but I can’t help myself, continuously going to the dreamland and seeing my supposed future back on earth rubbed me the wrong way and increased my desire to live my life to the fullest in El Gaia.
God: “Child, I know what you are going through right now is not how you desired to start off in the world I’ve brought you in, but you must remain patient. Your existence in that world is like a glitch to the system. Not even the Celestials no you even exist as of this moment. It will take time for your Spirit and your new body to assimilate to that world. Sure I can make it easier for you but it will make you prone to be found out by beings that would want you out of the picture. After all you are outside the power and control of Celestials.”
MC: ”What do you mean outside of the Celestials control?”
God: “You are not bound to serve any Celestial unlike those born in El Gaia. In El Gaia, each person is bound to be under the influence of one of the many Celestials, allowing them to become great at things under the influence of their Patron Celestials. Take the Celestial Avendra as an example; the people helping you are under her influence thus allowing them to be great Healers and Caretakers as Avendra’s influence is that of Healing and Motherhood. You are outside that, the Celestials can never put you under their influence and that is a danger for you. You are a glitch to the system, so you must be careful.
MC: “I get it now, I need to be careful because I can be persecuted but why can’t I wake up completely yet?”
God: “Child. The truth is I gave you a gift that will help you live in El Gaia a gift that defies the norm in that world, a gift that will take time for you to get accustomed to. Right now your body cannot take the strength of my gift thus it shuts down when your body feels like being overwhelmed. Surely as days come by you will regain enough strength and control of your body. Changes will also happen, changes that you need to find out yourself. Your destiny is not without danger but I promise that you will come out victorious.
MC: “Thank you Oh Holy One.”
God: “Child, I also want to tell you that this will be the last time I will talk with you in a while. You have to figure out what how you would live in this new world. Take care and remember that I will always keep a close watch over you.”
Hearing the caring voice of God I was somehow eased even if my future is uncertain. I was given a gift that made me curious and excited in finding out at the same time. With those last words I slowly drifted back to my dreams of my past life, dreams that inspire me to not waste this chance given to me in El Gaia.
Alissa’s POV
The young man slept for a few more days after the first time he opened his eyes. I kept hoping that the day would come when he would regain his consciousness completely. The news that I found a young man, well a good looking young man (ehem) outside the Cathedral became the source of my teasing from the other Sisters, it is a known fact that Avendra allows her Nuns to have families of their own as she is also the Celestial responsible for Motherhood.
Even Father Albert would tease me on how fixated I was in helping the young man by casting restoration spell on him every chance I get so that his body would regain strength if only a bit. Though whenever Father Albert visits the young man he would have this look in his eyes akin to doubt or worry, I can sense uneasiness in him but he helps the young man anyway.

I still continued my duty in the Cathedral, there are many that goes to the Cathedral asking for healing so our days are really busy. And in the ongoing war at our neighboring kingdom with the empire at the north of us, we being the bordering town gained many refugees trying to escape the ongoing war. Thus healing have become a parts of our everyday lives.
Father Albert’s POV
I was getting more uneasy whenever I visit the young man that Sister Alissa helped save. I can feel an underlying strength that I have not felt before. This young man even while sleeping gives off such a strong pressure that I feel like I can’t breathe even if there is air around me. Maybe it is my gift of clairvoyance alarming me that he can be dangerous but not helping him is out of the question.
Since I gave my life in serving Celestial Avendra I promised that I would help anyone in need and thus gaining Her favor and her gift of Clairvoyance. A gift that allowed me and the people around me the chance to act before any incoming danger even begin.
I just hope that helping this young man would not be a grave mistake in the future.
****3 Weeks have passed****
MC’ POV
It took three weeks of alternating from real world to the dreamland to be able to feel like I was strong enough to regain my consciousness completely. Sure enough as times went by I was able to feel like something was different in me. A strength I did not have before was building up inside me, yet it was also not the strength of my body, it is something different. Slowly and surely I began understanding the words those two uses. From gibberish it slowly changed to English. At the third week it seems like they were speaking in complete English.
This I assumed is my body assimilating myself in this new world. This thought made me sigh in my head. This allowed me a way to communicate with them. But one thing changed that made me worry instead.
When I tried opening my eyes I was greeted by bright colors bombarding me instead of objects and people around me. The world looked as if it was made by different colors meshed together to portray objects and people. The world looked like abstract art multiplied to the infinite power. This made it extremely hard for me to open my eyes or look at things around me.
I also felt like my body was burning up, there were days where I felt extreme pain all over my body. It feels like I was burning alive, like lava was being poured into my veins and it was slowly and painfully travelling all over my body. I cannot scream nor writhe in pain like something was hindering me to do so.
Then after days of feeling like this it suddenly ended and my world felt like it returned to normal, the time was here and I knew it, this is the day where I will finally open my eyes completely, it felt like I was renewed, energy was circulating inside me.
And with complete courage and a bit of excitement I did it. I opened my eyes completely to the shock of both Sister Alissa and Father Albert. And the words that finally came out of me was accompanied by a huge smile.
MC: “Good morning!”

AN: I know that the pacing of the story is slow, I felt like it would do well that our MC remain nameless and weak to start of the story. After all he was not reincarnated, he was brought to a different world that was not his to begin with. A world he needed to assimilate in. please do give constructive criticism and suggestions on how the story should continue. Thanks. Oops, and I do not have a proofreader so most of the time I make mistakes, do help me by pointing errors out.
