Chapter 3:
"What's your name? Want to join our group?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stare at the group of people. The "leader" has shin guards, a chest plate, boots, gauntlets, a helmet and leather pants like everyone else. He has blonde hair, brown eyes and looks around 6.2. The weapon he chose was a sword, but he also had a shield. The others had the same armour while most had 2 handed swords, some long swords, others broad swords.
Working with others is not what I do, so I say "I'm sorry, but I rejec...." I get cut off when a girl with red hair and blue eyes walks up to me and forcefully says " Join our group." Just as I was going to reject this girl as well, she says "Don't reject, I can help you regain your emotions. Well that's if you want to."
I am not surprised or amazed as it is not that hard to find out I'm emotionless, but I wonder how she found out so fast. I thought about the offer for a while, before I came up with my answer. Having emotions is troublesome as it will get in my way as it will interfere with my rational thinking. Just as I opened my mouth to answer, the "leader" of the other group grabbed her hand and told her " Do you not have manners, did you not see us invite him first? He is ours now."
The girl just exclaimed " Don't grab my hand," before pulling her hand out of his grasp. Then she said " Don't treat him like an object, because he is not one. He has his own opinion, and from what I heard, he rejected you."
The "leader" got angry as his face went red. He raised his hand to slap her as he yelled "Bitch, what did you say!!" I grabbed his hand then hit him in the back of the neck. He fainted on the spot, while his team members stared me with eyes of shock. I say " Scram." They carried the "leader" away while saying " We will get you back for this." This leaves me wondering how they became such good teammates so fast.
The girl from before recovered from her shock and looks at me. She says " Thank you for helping me. My name is Ashley Zimmerman. So do you accept my offer?"
Just as I was going to reply no, I hear a whisper "Say yes my child." The voice not only sounded angelic and melodic but it also sounded cold. Then a emotion flooded me, it was regret, regret for if I reply no, regret for having no emotions and regret for many other reasons. But this feeling disappeared as soon as it appeared, and I felt something tugging in my brain. I felt my memories of the whisper and emotion disappearing, leaving me standing in a daze.
Ashley looked at me with a worried face and asked "Are you okay?"
I shake my head and reply "Ya, I'm ok."
She asks me " So what is your answer?"
Even the though logical answer was no, I felt this weird urge to say yes, So I said "Yes." The sudden urge also gave me a feeling of Déjà Vu, but I couldn't figure out why.
Looking at Ashley, I see her beaming with a smiles as she grabbed me by the hand and leads me off to her team.
As she was leading me there, I'm still pondering about why I had this urge, but I don't think it is bad as I now have people I can control to do my bidding.

Somewhere in the void.
A man was talking to a woman. The man had black hair, brown skin, was burly and 6.5 feet tall. His muscles rippling with power and looked like they can break a human like a twig. The man had a mysterious aura which felt omniscient. This aura originated from his eyes, pitch black eyes with yellow stars ever glowing. It was like the vast universe, it was the source of the man's knowledge. While the man was mysterious, the woman had aura of something unreachable, incomprehensible, untouchable and cold. The woman had silver hair and eyes, was 5.9 feet tall, milky white skin and looked fragile like ice.
The burly man asked the woman "Why did you give that mortal your blessing? You never gave anyone a blessing, why now?"
The woman just nonchalantly answered " Let just say I was repaying a favor I owed to his parents."
The man gaped in surprise to what the woman had said, before asking " Who are his parent to make you owe them a favour? How strong where they?"
The woman just replied " That is something you will learn about later, so for now you shall not know about it."
The man just sighs as he knows he can't satiate his curiosity just yet.
The next question of the man was " What's the point of the blessing, why were you talking to him?"
The woman said " I did that so he does not go on the lonely path, which he would have without the interference of me. I'm pretty sure his parents would want him to have a lot of friends and live a good life."
The man then enquires the question "Also why did you want me tol them there is only 1 supreme god. Why didn't couldn't I tell them there is 2. Lepit the God of Order, which is me and Rycia the God of Fate and Karma, which is you."
Rycia replies " I did that so it will easier for you to manage them, so that they won't come to my side for no reason to ask for help. They are going to learn about me eventually, so it doesn't really matter."
The man then asks " Was it you who sent the lightning down when he was undergoing the experiment on Earth?"
The woman looks off into the distance before sighing and saying " That was not me, that was his parents last gift to him. It unsealed his powers and unlocked his potential."
The man nods before saying " Well i'm going to check on the god successors now," before disappearing into thin air.

Ashley's Pov:
As I wake up I noticed a lot of people around me. I look around and feel confused since this is a place I never seen or been to before. As I try to remember what I did before I ended up here, I find out the shocking truth - I have no memories. I hear some people screaming and yelling but it all quiets down when we all hear a voice.
"Hmm, it seems one of these humans knows how to use 100% of its brain. It seems I have to use something else to seal his memories."
When I hear this voice, I shiver uncontrollably as I feel immense fear against whoever said that. I calm down after a while. I look around cautiously and nervously to located the person whose voice that belonged to. I had no luck, but I hear the voice again.
"Hello humans from Earth, I transported you all to a planet called Ergon. I'm sure most of you realized by now that you have no memories. Don't worry, I sealed it, the only way to get them back is to get stronger. But how? Well Ergon has what Earth calls magic. Well I'll get on with explaining."
The terrifying pressure descends again, this causes me to fall onto my butt like many others do. The voice calls himself the Supreme God. It talked about how we have no memories and that we have to get stronger to get them back. It talked about the magic system of the world we got transported to. While he was explaining, another person who got transported with us started asking questions. It seems he was the person the Supreme God talked about knowing how to use 100% of his brain. As I look at him, something shocks me, it seems he has no trouble standing up in the pressure.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
The boy I'm looking at has white hair and blue eyes, but when I see his blue eyes, I get startled. This eyes are a extremely sad and dull blue. His eyes look emotionless, which makes me remember that I am empathetic. As I stare into his eyes, I notice that his dull and emotionless eyes are just a cover to hide his loneliness and sadness. I can see through his eyes that he is sealing up his emotions to try to prevent himself from being hurt any further. This saddens me but also fuels me to help him regain his emotions. Still, I wonder what his past was to become like that.
After a little more of talking, a wheel appeared in front of me. The Supreme God called it the Wheel of Abilities. It seems after spinning it, it will give us a ability. I wait for others to spin it to make sure it is safe. After ascertaining that the wheel is safe, I spin it. It spins for a minute before stopping while blurring for others. The ability it landed on was Emotion control, a bunch of brief overview on the ability entered into my brain. A bunch emotions inside of me emerged, while I could see the emotions of others. I saw excitement, confusion, anger, etc, before it all disappeared. My ability confused me as I don't know how I can use this ability other than seeing the emotions of others, but I stop thinking about it as it goes well with my Empathy.
I see various different things happening to others when they gain their ability. One that catches my attention is a blue lightning bolt striking onto someone. When the mist clears up, I see the boy from before. I saw lightning snaking around his arm before striking the ground. What surprises me is that the lightning is the same colour as his eyes, a sad and dull blue. The hair of the boy changed, it was now white and blue, now there were many strands of hair that were the same sad and dull blue in his white hair. The blue was like highlights in the hair.
After everyone gained their abilities, they all grouped up. They all grouped up with strong people while leaving the weak to fend for themselves. I was one of those weak people.
Since I was left out, I went looking for the other left out people. As I was walking around, a person from one of the groups walked towards me.
He asked me " Hi babe, my name is Clint Rosario. Your beautiful, what's your name? You looking for a group? I'll ask my leader to let you join as long as you become my girl."
My face changes into that of disgust and I tell him "Fuck off!"
This pisses him off as he tries to attack me but I just bluff at him " You idiot, did you forget I have an ability? I'm not afraid to use it." This stops him in his attack as he backs away. I wanted to test my ability, so I looked into the information I got before. I had to concentrate on feeling the emotions of others, I tried it and worked, but it disappeared as I didn't do it properly. Even though it was a failed attempt, I still got a brief overlook of Clint's emotions. He was cautious, nervous and had a tinge of fear as he was scared of the prospect of what my ability could be.
Eventually he walks away, this causes me to relax and let out a sigh of relief. If he actually attacked me I wouldn't know what to do as I don't know how to fight and my ability doesn't help in that area. After resting a while, I resumed my search.
After searching a little I found a middle aged man who was left out standing with a 16 year old boy who was left out. I ask them " Do you want to group up with me? "
The man tells me " Let us talk a little." I say ok and wait for their response.
They talk for about 10 minutes before heading back to me. The boy answers " Yes."
His face turns into a lecherous face before asking "My name is Chris Coal and his name is Hayate Kibiyashi. What's your name? Are you single?" Thus annoys me as I realize I asked a pervert to join my group. The man just hits the boy on the head and apologizes.
I tell them " My name is Ashley Zimmerman. I'm going to scout for others, so stay here. I'll return soon." They both nod for affirmation. I then walk away at a fast pace to get away from the pervert as well as to spend less time searching for others.
I look around a little more before I found a girl of 16 years old, the same age as me. She was trying to convince a 10 year old girl that she was safe to talk to.
"Please listen to me, I'm safe. I don't want to hurt you, but others might. It's not safe here, please come with me. You can tie up me hands if you want, please just come with me."
I approach her and say " Hello, my name is Ashley Zimmerman. Do you want to join my group?"
The 16 year old girl turns towards me and asks " I'm Julie Jones. What type of people is your group going to consist of?"
I reply " People who were left out by the other groups."
She points at the girl and asks " Can she join?"
I say "Yes."
She says " Ok, I'll join. I'll try convincing her to join."
I say " Ok, I'll bring the others here." I walk away while Julie goes back to trying to reassuring the child. I go back to where Chris and Hayate are.
When I arrive, Chris's complexion lights up as he walks towards me and asks " How did it go?"
I reply "Good, I'll bring you guys to the others." Later when I brought them together I told them I'm getting the last member as there was no one else left out of the groups. This leaves them confused, but I was too busy to care.
I went looking for the emotionless boy as I knew he would work as a lone wolf because of his personality. It was easy to locate him as he was being asked to join a group. I walked up to him and asked him to join our group. He was going to reject my offer but I told I can help him regain his emotions, which I can. This makes him think, but a person of the group who invited him first grabbed my hand and said "Do you not have manners, did you not see us invite him first? He is ours now." I pulled my hand free and yelled at him for considering the boy as an object. He gets angry and tries to hit me but the boy grabs his hands and knocks him out. This surprises me but I regained my composure and ask him if he wants to join my group. Just as he was going to answer, he stops and stares at me in a daze. I ask to make sure he's ok and wakes out of his daze and says he's ok. I ask him if he's going to join the group and he said yes. I become happy as the group is complete. I grab his hand and lead him back to the rest of the group.
