Former God Pov:

“Well sorry.” – I try to hide my smile and apologise with as much honesty I have. Sure seeing the others face if they have face or even head. They surely know I don’t have much honesty.

Currently I am taking part in my interview for my new place in a grey space filled with ruins. Being a god sometime shockingly similar to the like of working mortal… Well ok not so true.

If you ask why are there ruins around us? No they are not trying to make this more mythical or make strange style for this meeting.

The advertise in Million World Magazine was about like this: “Recruiting new member for pantheon. Big size and endurance anticipated!”

Khm … It seems the second part was from the God of Love and Lust of this world. I can’t help that I am sometime a little naive?

So why are there ruins around us? Well they wanted big so I appeared as a thousand metre monster. I absolutely can’t be blamed right? I mean one kilometre is not so big in some world for living being. I can’t help if the minor gods these younglings never meet them. I surely created some.

Returning to the situation in the meeting, they are currently conversing with telepathy before me. Some of them appeared as member of mortal race. Others like some kind of monsters. The laziest member are only represented by simple runes in air.

As I check the other gods before me chill runs down on my back. I don’t need to ask what king of god is the one at left. She-he is measuring me like a fisher his newest catch. Constantly changing his/her sex.

Suddenly I feel that the meeting is over. The god in the middle with nothing other than a skirt of leafs finally opens his eyes and starts to speak again.

“We understand that you had no malicious intent with appearing in your previous form.” – I hope they didn’t only reach conclusion about this. – “I even forgot to introduce myself and the others I am God of Nature.”

As he start introducing the others I fell extremely bored. Why can’t they choose better names?

“I’m happy to meet all of you! I Am XXXXXXXXXX –xxxxxx XXXXX xXXXX xxxxXXXX xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx…” – I don’t understand they shocked face as I finish my name. Surely having a name with words over thousands not so shocking.

I remember there was world where I let my priest to know it and it was the final test of fait to finish it before the effects of saying it take effects.

“You are really someone crazy!” – The first to comment on my name is the God of War. No before you ask me it’s not his title this is really his chosen name. What’s so bad about having a name with some little style?

“No-no please don’t say that.”- It seems my entrance did some effect on the others and now hearing my name the most of them are completely scared. The one who started to protect my name no other than the God of Knowledge.

Wait thinking about it I hope it’s not they law to choose these generic names.

“Actually we have no problem with accepting your application.” – God of Reign.

“Surely things will become more interesting!” – This is surely bad. The one who just said this while licking her lips. Even if her name as God of Love and Lust wouldn’t be quite speaking. Her face makes me shiver. I mean I am older then they together, and fought against beings that even gods would fear. Still this one….

“Before you make your choice about you really want to join us.” – It seems Reign want to take over the interview as well. 

– “We have some simple rule that you must follow. And procedure to become one of us. To join this community.”

“I see, what those are?”

“Firstly you cannot become simply a member. Gods of our world never only born or appear. You must start as a mortal.”

“Interesting.” – At least it seems they have far better concepts for this world god’s mythology then for names.

“Secondly your radius of control in world is affected by the outcome of your mortal life before you rise to godhood.”

“Wait. If I understand what you said well, then I can’t choose what kind of god I want to be?”

“Yes. You must be aware of that your effect in world will choice your godly title.”

“Seeing the God of Nature. He surely wasn’t a nudist? Right?”

The sorrow full face was enough to guess the answer.

“I wanted to be the God of Freedom.”- whispered in low voice Nature.

Ok. Now I’m really shocked. This is more like a shame play then a law for choosing new gods.

“You surely won’t run from such a little inconvenience?” – Before I even realised the man in the night Gown was already at my side. I pale a little as he is patting my back. Love and Lust.

“Hahaha.” – I try to find a good reason to run. But I was really bored so why not.  So I stand up from the boulder of ruin where I was sitting and bow myself. – “I’m happy to join!”

I will have to leave my name behind for the time being.

“Good! Now we must just start the preparations.” – Reign was even more paled then me. Hmm what would be his reason for it? Well whatever…

??? Pov.

I was standing with my friends in the bus station for the next bus. The town was completely in chaos.

“Hey-Hey did you hear it?” – Anna, my classmate turn to me from the others. She was really hyped about something.

“About what?”

“They said cops was taking people away from hospitals! It all started yesterday evening!”

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I was about just to answer as a truck suddenly left his line and crushed us to death. Ah I really should have not left home today, I see as my classmates are flying all over. Surely I will have closed coffin funeral. Or so I thought as my vision faded but still saw my left leg above my head.

I suddenly I return to my senses. In a completely different place.

I’m in a corridor. I can’t stop as I walk in the line forward. Anna and the others are here as well before in the line. Is this the corridor to the afterlife?  I hope it’s not because some of the people seems like criminal around me. I really don’t want to end up in the same place as they.

As I walk forward I reach something that looks like a fence.

“Why is there a fence?”

There is a man is suit not too far to me. He first appeared surprised by my voice.

“Someone who is awake?”

His smile is gentle but I am completely stiffened.

“Oh my? Are you afraid?” – He walked nearer. I see as my classmate disappear one after another. – “Surely you don’t need to be afraid. You will soon return to your life.”

His grin really makes me have a bad feeling. But what did he men return? I suddenly feel a pull and the next moments I again in the Bus station.

I can hear the screams all around. What happening?

As I stand up. I see that most of my classmate who was there in the corridor are already in one piece again. Uwahh I really happy that I’m not half nude as Jenny.

“Thank to the God!” – A woman is holding his son in her hands.

“What did just happen?” – Anne and Mathilda is just as clueless as me it. – “We was at a corridor now we are back?”

“Corridor?”

Shockingly no one else remember what happened. Soon the cops finally appeared but they did nothing like preparing for investigation. Soon they left as fast as they came.

 “Anne and I will go home” – well understandable I thought. They are bloody, strangely I have nothing on me. But I was sure my leg had been torn.

“What are you planning?” – The person from the corridor turned to the voice. He was currently not far above from the students.

“Hello Sorrow. I am just watching an interesting specimen.”

“Do not destroy the balance of this world any more then you have.”

“Balance? You are surely joking.” – Pain face bright with radiance. – “The others have already left this planet, this race. Soon they will only feel us. The negative ones.”

“There will be no normality for the humans.” – sliced No Death the quarrelling before it even would start.

They slowly ascended toward the sky. – “This is just the beginning.”

There was no need for answer. This is the first morning after God left this world.

Future God Pov:

Finally. I finished reviewing my new world. I will start as a human and take my path for godhood.

What kind of God? After governing my last world full of science I had already made my choice!

Sure Magic is cool but I want something steampunk for once. And space station!

Some hours later I’m in the hands of a happy man.

Hmm how should I act as baby? Who cares? I am no and old God for nothing.

I summon a control window before me and starts changing the settings.
