Chapter 1

On a November evening, I was walking down the street near my home. The cold air is making my nose numb, and I tried to rub it to decrease the numbness of it. It was getting dark, the sky had an orange tint, and cars drove by as people were getting home from work.

Not me though.

I just watched the latest Marvel Movie, Eternals.

It was a disappointing movie to say the least, the movie had good potential, but it was executed so poorly. It should've been a miniseries in my opinion. When I watched it, it was frustrating to see the characters that have an interesting event that happened to him or her, but it wasn't explored by the filmmakers, even though it should've been explored, to make the watchers care more about the characters.

Take Phastos for example, it would be interesting to see his believe in humanity slowly diminishing because of his technologies used the wrong way and not just seeing him cry after the bomb dropped, or seeing Sprite actually craving for adult activities and slowly falling in love, not just Kingo saying that she fell in love with Ikaris all of a sudden.

I sighed at the thought of it. I will probably never going to see it.

Suddenly, I can feel a vibration from my pocket. It's my phone ringing.

I took out the phone, as I saw that it was my mom calling me, and I picked it up.

"Hello? Mom?" I answered the call.

"Hello honey, where are you?" she asked me.

"I'm almost at home mom." I answered her question. "Do you need me to buy anything?"

"Yeah, can you buy me some milk on the way?"

"Sure thing mo-" before I could answer her question, a sudden jolt of pain appeared in my chest, and I clutched the area of my heart instantly, desperately trying to ease the pain, but it wasn't working.

My phone fell out of my grasp and onto the ground, and I fell to the ground too, I could tell that my mom was panicking behind the phone as she could probably hear me gasping for air, trying to numb the pain in my chest.

I continued to hold my chest tightly to stop the pain, but it was no use. I looked around, no one was there, and at that moment I knew that I would die. I am accepting it at this point, my life was boring anyway, the only thing I'm worried about is my mom's reaction to my death, it would hurt her for sure, but I can't do anything, as I'm literally dying right now.

"It's painful, isn't it?" someone suddenly stated, I looked around, and saw no one. "Don't worry though, it will all be over soon."

"Who-" I tried to form a word to ask the voice, but the voice just repeated:

"It will all be over soon."

My vision started to darken as the pain in my chest kept increasing, and now, I can see an outline of a man. The man had no body except black, and it was staring at me intently as I was dying.

Then, as I feel my soul disappear from my body, I feel nothing. Nothing at all. No pain, only infinite nothingness.

But soon, I could see again, and I looked around, and again, I only saw nothingness, my vision was covered with the color black.

"See? That wasn't so bad…" someone suddenly spoke, startling me.

"Wha-?" I looked around frantically trying to see the person who was talking, and there he was, the same man who looked at me while I was dying on the ground. "Who are you?!"

"Me? I'm nobody." He said, then, his 'face' suddenly cracked a smile, it just looked like a conveniently placed golden line though, as the 'mouth' was shining brightly, unlike the surroundings, which is entirely back.

I narrowed my eyes as he said that. "Then how come you are here? I'm dead right?"

"You are." The man answered with a nod, his face still showing that golden smile.

"Then where is this?" I asked.

"You are in my domain."

"What domain?"

"Where I live, I guess." He answered, and suddenly, the entire dimension turned to a tropical island, and now I was standing in front of a fireplace. I was surprised to say the least, this is real magic shit! And then I looked back at the man, and now he looked like a stranded man who hasn't bathed in weeks.

"Then… why am I here?" I asked the man, he's definitely not a 'nobody'.

"I chose you for something." He stated.

"Me? Chosen?"

"Yes."

"For what?" I asked, I am so confused right now.

"I want to see if an unknown variable can change something drastically." He continued.

"Change? Unknown variable? What is happening right now?!" I questioned rather loudly.

"To simply put-" He then stood up, and suddenly, his body glowed bright, showing a golden color all over his body. "You will be reborn."

"Re-Reborn?" I asked nervously. "Like reincarnated?"

"Yep." He spoke. "To a Half Celestial."

"Wait what?" I am so confused right now. "Celestial?, Half? As in from marvel?"

"Yes." He simply answered, making me freaked out. "That Celestial."

"Who are you again?" I asked, or rather demanded.

The man just smiled. "You can call me whatever you want."

"That doesn't answer the question." I stated.

The man chuckled. "I am god in that world I guess."

"Wait… one above all?!" I exclaimed as I figured out his identity.

"Well, well, even though you didn't read the comics, you still know a bit about me." The man chuckled. And I freaked out as he knew that I didn't read comics, which meant that he knew all about me. "You don't have to worry about the comics though, you will be in a different reality."

"T-That's good I guess… but where will i be reborn in" I mumbled. "and… Why me?"

The man shrugged. "No reason."

"What?"

"I just picked randomly." He continued. "So don't get your hopes up like you are the chosen one or something."

"But you said you chose me?"

"Randomly." He pointed out. "Also It's going to be a suprise... right, it's time to go I guess, it'll be a long time till we meet again, so if you want to ask something, ask now."

"Oh…" I simply said. "What about my mom?"

The man smiled. "She'll be fine, you don't have to worry about her."

"Can I know what happened to her?"

"I'd rather not tell you." He spoke. "You need to get rid of your attachment to your previous life."

"But… she's my mom."

"Like I said, she'll be fine." He said rather sternly now. "You don't have to worry about her, she'll live a good life."

"I hope so…" I mumbled. "Who will I be reborn into? a child of Eson? Arishem?"

"Oh, you will be an original part Celestial that I made up." He said, making me surprised.

"Do i get all the powers?"

The man smiled rather strangely. "Nope, at least not anywhere on that level, but you can still do alot."

I sighed at this. "So, this is it huh… from a human to a Robotic Energy being…"

"Is it so bad though? You will still look like a human... at least when you want " the man questioned.

"Well, I won't age… I don't know how I feel about that."

"I don't age too." He pointed out. "It has its ups and downs, but you'll manage."

I stared at the man intently for a second. "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Hmmm…." The man thought for a second, making me look at him weirdly. "Nothing"

"Nothing?"

"Yes, Nothing i just want to see what happens" He spoke.

"Why?" I scoffed. "What are you trying to do here man?"

"Think of yourself as a… bug that will entertain once it is the right time."

"So I'm an insect?"

"In my eyes, all of you are insects." He sharply stated, which made me gulp.

"Can I refuse this?" I asked the man.

The man stared at me for a second before answering it. "You can, but you'll regret it."

"But I'll just be a pawn in your games." I pointed out.

He chuckled. "Is that how you view it?" he said. "You're not a pawn, you're an experiment."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that you can act freely according to the constraint of the experiment, while being a pawn means that I will control every single aspect of your life."

"What are the 'constraints' then?"

"Nothing bad that i can think of."

"So, what am I supposed to?"

The man shrugged. "It's up to you, you have a long time to think about it."

I sighed. "You're not making this easier, I'm still confused on what I'm supposed to do…"

"I understand what you are thinking." The man said. "But you must follow your instinct once you've been reborn, you need to forget all your previous attachments. Your family before, your name, your age, your friends, everything, and start anew."

"So I need to… live?"

"If that's what you want to call it, then that's fine, you need to live."

"Well… okay…" I mumbled. "But I'm still doubtful about this…"

The man rolled his eyes at my words. "What are you worried about? That you will have your original appearance?"

"I mean… I'm ugly before…" I shrugged as I spoke the truth.

"Beauty is relative." He stated.

"But most people's perception of beauty is mostly the same." I countered.

"That's true." The man continued. "Don't worry, you'll be reborn in a different body."

"Then I'm in." I excitedly said.

The man just hummed.

"I'm seriously confused right now to be honest, are you a good entity? Or are you a bad entity?"

He finally laughed at my question. "Soon you will learn that morality is a relatively young one." He stated. "So, ready?"

"Fine…" I sighed.

The man smiled. "Excellent." The man then floated in front of me and spoke. "Then may we meet ."

The man then snapped his finger, and suddenly, the world turned black, and it looked like I passed out.
