Chapter 1.1: Meeting a Celestial

Huh... Hoshi thought as he awoke in a dark starry place on top of dark clouds, with no physical being, So this is what Heaven... Hell looks like?

Then a bright light in the shape of a human appeared in front of him and lit up the sky and everything around him.

"Hello, mortal." A deep, godly voice said to Hoshi, "This is nor' Heaven nor' Hell. This is the Celestial Realm. A part of it at least."

Then the person of the silhouette became fully visible. He looked like a tall, old man with a thick beard, wearing white robes.

"Celestial?" Hoshi asked, "You mean like stars and stuff?"

"Ummmm... No! You, humans, ripped us off, not the other way around!" the man said as he looked away, avoiding eye contact.

He then looked back at Hoshi and continued to talk. "We Celestials are godly beings that roam the skies. This is not my true form as that is in the fourth dimension which you can not see."

"I see."

"Yeah, 'cause I've taken this form that's what I'm saying."

"No, I didn't mean it like that...! Nevermind. So why am I here?"

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Yes, that... As you know you were killed by a star. That was a rogue celestial. An unfair death. We have to take care of those. Now... There are two options."

"Let me guess." Hoshi interrupted, "I can go to Heaven straight up or I can be reborn in another world, correct?"

"Y-yes... But again, you stole that idea from us!" the man was mad as he explained.

"But..." he continued, "Which one will it be?"

"Obviously reincarnation."

"Obviously... Well then..." the man put out his hand as a bright light shined in his palm, after that an ancient-looking roll appeared, "Let me see... You were killed by the rogue Celestial... Mortus, the Death Star. In return, in your new world, you will be... Blessed by the Celestial Brutus?!"

"Is that... good?" Hoshi asked at the surprised reaction of the old man.

"Extremely! He's the celestial of strength and magic! It says here you'll even get a specially made sword by his Celestial bladesmith Kroge!"

"Well, that's great!" Hoshi exclaimed!

"It really is!" the old man agreed, "This is one hell of a deal. You'll be stronger than some gods with this power. You'll be considered a DemiCelest."

"Yes!"

"It will take some time for the weapon to be produced, but luckily it takes as much time as transferring you to the new world and we can just add the weapon and Blessing when you're almost there. So you will be going... Now!"

"OK... But one final request. What's your name."

"Jeff." the man replied.

"Really, Jeff? For a Celestial, I'd expect like Amorphus or Cadus, but no Je—" Hoshi began ranting, but couldn't finish as Jeff transported him to the other world.
