"Hello." A voice said.
In an, what seems to be an eternal abyss, an adult seems to be looking around. He wore casual wear, white t-shirt, and comfortable shorts. Let's not forget about the underwear. Well, Anyway.
"Who's there?" The man said, slightly panicked, overwashed by a sea of calm soon after.
A young man, dressed in a robe and the design seemed to be of bright stars, appeared in front of the other man. "Hm? What's this? How did you get here-" He seems to hesitate after laying his eyes on the other person in the room.
"Well, uh. I honestly don't know how I got here. Why do you ask? And why are you wearing a Halloween costume? It's not even October yet." The other man replied.
"Questions, questions, questions... Sadly, I don't have your precious answers." The robed man said.
"Aw, that just means we both don't know anything. Well, in any case. What's your name?" The casually dressed man asked.
"I'm Strell. God of the Stars." He said, in a somewhat proud way.
"Huh, a god? Well, can you send me back to my place?" The man asked.
"Your place? Your home? Wait... Now that I look at you, you aren't from Aethis, are you?" Strell answered by asking a question.
"Eksi? What place is that?" The man asked.
"And that confirms my suspicion. You aren't from my 'Reality.'" Strell answered.
"And what does that mean?" The man asked, slightly curious.
"That means that YOU aren't from HERE." Strell smirked. "However... I am interested in one part of you..."
"That would probably be... my memories, isn't it?" The man replied.
"How would you know that?" Strell asked, surprised a little.
"Well, if I was a god, I would be so bored. I would probably have to resort reading books just to learn. Looking at the people in your world would probably be fun too. You don't really seem like a warlike god either. You seem... a little more knowledgeable?" The man explained.
"Hm, so do the gods in your world are like ours then?" Strell asked.
"Nah, it's not as interesting as your world... Our gods don't do much. They sort of let us muck around. do our own thing." The man replied.
"You want to make a deal with those memories?" Strell asked.
"Whoa, wait. Isn't this too quick? But then again... Guess I can't really go anywhere in this void. Wait, couldn't you just take my memories? You are a god..." The man asked, a little hesitant.
"Remember when I told you I was the God of the Stars? I'm also the God of Balance and Knowledge as well." Strell pauses for a bit. "So, you want to make a deal?"
The man thinks about it for a while, and he finally answered. "Sure, I mean, I would be pretty bored if I was stuck here for eternity."
"Good! Well. What would you like to do, in exchange for your memories?" Strell asked, giving a silent cheer in his mind.
"Well, how about this? You can have full access to my memories, just can't take them from me. Second, I wish to be reincarnated in Aethis, as well have aspects of a video game character." The man asked.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
"What's a Video Game-"
"You'll find out when you take my memories, and the last thing. I wish to exist outside the chains of fate in this world." The man said, without hesitating.
"Wait, what? That last one seems awfully suspicious... may I ask why?" Asked Strell.
"Well, Aethis seems to be a place of fantasy, seems nice. If there were some destiny or prophecy or something, wouldn't my appearance make a change?"
"Well, if you're going to be reincarnated in my world, you may change the gears of fate for other people, don't you know? It's not impossible though..." Strell puts a hand to his chin, and thinks about it for a while. "Interesting... Interesting... Alright, fine. I'll Reincarnate you, make you have some aspects of a video game character, based off of your memories, and make you exist outside the gears of fate of this world." Strell smiles.
"For access of my memories. Correct?" The man asked, to confirm.
"Yes, as well as you being able to keep your memories... I want to give you something else as well. A power, as you should call it." Strell smiled. "Well, you'll know once you get down there. Think of it as a blessing, I favor you then some of the other mortals here on Aethis. I also wish to name you, as you might as well be called one of my "Aegis" .
"Aegis? What's that?" The man questioned.
"Being an "Aegis" is sort of like being a Hero for a god. You spread my name, and I gain power."
"Uh, I don't know if-"
"You don't need to dedicate yourself towards me, (unlike some of the other gods). Think of it like this, you help spread my name, I gain power, and in exchange, you gain power. However, that does mean you cannot worship the other gods, or help them , unless they are my allies." Strell explained.
"Hmm... I guess it's all good... Anything else I should know about being an Aegis?" The man asked.
"Right... I have twelve fated Aegis waiting for me. With you, that makes thirteen. Even though this might restrain you, please do try and help my other Aegis. They may appreciate the help."
"Might as well, I'm an Aegis now. Well, then that should be all of it right? I accept the deal." The man said.
"Indeed it is, and with this conversation, the deal is set in the mind of a god and in the mind of a mortal. Have fun!" Strell exclaimed.
A bright light flashed, and the man seem to disappear from the void. As quick as he was there, as quick as he disappeared. Within himself, he slept.
"Hm, a name. Well, I guess a fitting name would be... Luo. In seeing through his memories... That means free in the language of Latin. Oh, I want to know what will happen in his future!" Strell said with a happy tone.
And well, that was that.
