A Unique Offer.
¨Your life isn´t over yet Willis.¨
When I heard a voice, I began looking around. What I found out was that I was in an all-white, square-like room, along with two chairs, a desk, and.....
¨Morgan Freeman?¨ I voiced my thoughts accidentally.
¨Ha, not exactly just one of the many forms I like to take. This is one is my personal favorite.¨
¨.....Who... are you? Also, where am I? Wasn´t I-¨
¨Dead? You most certainly are. As for who I am. I am the creator of everything and nothing, I. Am. God. Now, as for where you are, you are in my personal dimension.¨ The strange being, who is apparently God, said.
´I´m...dead.´ I thought, realizing I couldn´t smell or feel anything. However, I was able to still hear and see. While coming to this realization I began to sit in the empty chair that was in front of God´s desk.
¨Then why am I not in Heaven or Hell?¨ I asked.
¨Ah yes, well you see there isn´t just one Heaven and Hell. How it works, is for whatever religion or faith you are a part of, the god/s of that religion/faith will be the ones to control/judge where you go or decide to do something special with you. An example would be if you were a worshipper of the Greek gods. Then you would fall under their jurisdiction and end up in Elysium, Fields of Asphodel, or Tartarus.¨ God explains.
¨But, I wasn´t Christian. After seeing all those terrible things I kinda stopped believing there was such a thing as a god. Why didn´t you or any other god get involved!¨ I asked at first curious but then angry in the end.
God looks at me sympathetically.
¨Well....to start out I´m not the biblical God, or the Christian god if you would prefer. I am THE God. Head honcho. Most faithless individuals come to me and I decide which religion and afterlife fit them best. As for why I, or anyone else, didn´t get involved...well....¨ God fell silent.
¨Well?¨ I asked impatiently.
¨Sigh.¨ He sighed.
¨Most gods look down on anything that isn´t stronger than them or isn´t a god, like them, that alone should tell you why they didn´t intervene. Then there are gods who are extremely kind and caring. I would like to believe I fall under one of those. However, while those gods can intervene, and they do a lot of times, they can´t be everywhere at once. There are many worlds, universes, dimensions, and multiverses out there. As for why I can´t get involved...well..... I made an oath at the beginning of time that I wholeheartedly regret.¨ He said with a voice full of melancholy.
¨And that was?¨ I asked curiously, calming down a bit.
¨For as long as I exist, and rule, I will never involve myself with any world´s fate or any individual´s fate before their death.¨ He said.
After he said that, I couldn´t help but think of all the things I´ve seen and how much more of those things he´s probably seen than I ever will. He´s just like me, but worse. While he has the power to help...he is unable to.
¨I´m sorry.¨ I said sadly.
He seemed surprised at my apology but after his surprise dyed down, he smiled at me kindly.
¨There is no need for you to apologize, it is my own mistake. ¨You reap what you sow¨, as they say. Haha.¨ He chuckled dryly.¨
After a moment of silence, I decided to ask.
¨So, where am I going?¨ I asked while being both excited and worried.
¨Ah....yes. Well, you see for you, I have a proposition. I know other gods have done this before but I, personally, have never done something like this.¨
¨What proposition? And doing what exactly?¨ I ask, confused.
¨What I meant by what other gods have done, I meant isekai, reincarnation, transmigration, whatever you want to call it. As for my proposition, that feeling of helplessness when wanting to help others, I know it well, and I want to help you get rid of it. Therefore, I wish to have you work for me and go to other universes and help them. Of course, I´ll let you pick your universes, unless there´s some urgent emergency, and grant you some blessings.
¨Huh?¨
