Chapter 1

A lone man was standing alone in an empty space, brown hair, dark hazel eyes and about 6.3 ft.

"Huh...Where is this place? How did I get here?" the man thought while standing.

"Alright, let's start from what I can remember about myself and see if I can remember how I got here. I was walking home from a party a co-worker put together, drank some beer, played some games, talked to some girls, said a few jokes and left with a beer in hand. I was walking home when I decided to go to the park to, no clue why, I just had the urge to go. I sat down at a bench and looked at my beer, or what's left of it, in my hands. I walked over to the Pond that reflected the sky covered in a veil of stars and looked back on my life. Then I saw something being reflected in the pond. There was a crack in the sky, thinking I was still a little tipsy from the beer, I glanced at my own reflection, closed my eyes and waited a few minutes. I opened my eyes and saw, in the night sky, a slightly shaking crack just floating there as if it was there to begin with. The next thing I saw was a hand reach out and a few seconds later a bright light "

As he was thinking these things a person, looking as if he was sculpted by God himself appeared a fair distance away in front of him; dark brown hair and hazel eyes, dressed in white clothes and shoes, staring at the man with a guilty look on his face.

The lone man wakes up from his daze and looks at the new arrival with an apprehensive look in his eyes, wondering how this man suddenly appeared in front of him and why he looks so guilty while staring at him.

The guilt ridden man looks up and gives the lonely man an awkward smile.

"Ah! Alex you're finally awake you must be wandering where you are and what happened to you, well in short you died and It was to partially my fault." Exclaimed the handsome man.

Alex stared at the weirdly at the handsome man as if he was looking at a lunatic.

"How did I endup here? And who are you?" Alex asked in an inquisitive manner.

"I am Taranath, just call me Taran. As for how you ended up here...it's a long story. I was recently promoted to Minor God recently so me and a few of my friends descended onto Earth into mortal bodies so we could enjoy mortal pleasures and get drunk, we all got a little tipsy as we all had a few drinks. As we were all drinking we sensed a strong demon trying enter earth, we all had a suspicion of what they were trying to do so we paid for our drinks and headed in the direction we sensed the demon, one thing led to an argument and another thing led to a fight. In this devastation, while you were walking home from work, you and a few other people died. For this we apologies and ask what you want us to do as an apology."

"Well Taran I guess that helps explain how I ended up here as there is no such place to my knowledge of a place like this on Earth, I didn't really have any family I need to worry about or a lover. As for what you can give me as an apology I'll have to think about that later, I need time process all this information, I have a few more question; you're a God? Are we in heaven, hell or limbo? What's with this 'minor God' term that you're speaking about? Where do I go after I leave this place? And what is the limit to what I can ask from you as an apology? "

"Well you seem awfully calm considering you died, oh well I guess that is one of your quirks, the others didn't react so calmly. As for your questions, yes, I can be considered a god but only a weak one. No, you are not in Heaven, Hell or in Limbo we are in a separate space I made to have this little discussion with you, and the 'Minor Divinity' term is used as a way to rank strength. As for the limit, 5 wishes is the limit, don't go overboard about what you wish for as we won't grant it."

As Taranath was speaking, trying to give a more detailed explanation a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind him slowly walking towards Taranath and Alex. Alex noticed the person appearing and stared at her. Taranath noticing his gaze followed it and stared at the woman who suddenly appeared behind him and froze as if he has seen his worst nightmare. Alex noticing this looked at Taranath with a question and confused look while thinking who this is.

"Maybe it's his boss…" while Alex was thinking this. Taran, being about 6.5 ft. and muscular was getting lectured by a woman about 26 being 5.8 ft with a beautiful face, slender legs and a graceful figure that could take anyone's breath away, giving Taran a smile, though beautiful, was filled with danger.

"Do you know what king of mess you got yourself in Taran?" The woman yelled at Taran completely ignoring Alex the only spectator to watch this glorious sight.

After a Few glorious Hours of Taran, even after all these hours it never got boring watching Taran getting lectured by the woman, she finally stopped shouting at Taran and turned to Alex, now it was Alex turn to be worried. While Alex was standing there the woman was looking at him with a questioning gaze. After a few awkward minutes Taran decided to end the silence.

"Alex I would like to introduce someone to you, this is Incipere, one of the True Divines. She is the Goddess of Creation that helped in making the world your about to be reincarnated into."

"So what is it that you want to wish for? but remember there is a limit, although we have raised it a little for you and the other people who died in the accident there is still a limit." Incipere asked while looking at Alex.

Alex has been thinking over this for the past few hours that he has been here and finally decided on what he wants to do.

"The first thing I want to wish for is…"
