Chapter 1: Birth of the Gods
[WAKE UP CHILD] (???)
Michael opened his eyes. All he could see was white.
[What happened? I'm alive? I'm dead? Or ... am I in a coma?] (Michael)
Michael tried to move his limbs. They moved in smoothly. He was able to feel everything. But before his eyes, all he could see was still a white light.
[Well ... I think I'm alive?] (Michael)
[DO NOT BE AFRAID. NOW RISE.] (???)
As if his body was a puppet controlled by those words, Michael immediately stood up, his muscles before he could perceive it.
Around him was still that still sea of white light, but other figures were all around him.
Michael recognized them immediately, the other passengers in the bus crash, the girl with the braids, the dark-haired young man with the slanted eyes, the bald man ... They were all here.
He could count 10 people including him, most of them plus he was the same age as him.
[HEAR ME CHILDREN. I am the Supreme. YOU LOST YOUR LIFE IN YOUR WORLD, AND NOW YOUR SOULS ARE BEFORE ME.] (Supreme)
God? Was that real? Michael could still feel his body ... Was this normal for a soul? Unless he was in a coma and all this was a hallucination ...
[THIS IS REAL. IT IS NOT A ALUCATION. YOU ARE DEAD AND YOUR SOULS WILL BE PASSING ANOTHER CYCLE OF REINCARNATION. NONE OF YOU WAS worthy enough to attain enlightenment and go beyond the cycle, nor were either of you CORRECTED enough to fall into the underworld] (Supreme)
Michael was not yet sure whether he was hallucinating this or not, but the last statement of this "Supreme" was sad, he never believed in "God" all his life, even though he was an atheist, he would not consider himself a bad guy and Although he was a little annoyed at not having achieved enlightenment ... And he had been a good person for most of his life
He was twenty-two when he got on that bus to do a job interview, at least that was the official excuse, because he intended it to be most of the time. A vacation, visiting maid's cafes, mango shops and eating in the typical ramen stalls. Of course he wanted to stop for interviews, but honestly that was not his main motivation.
Michael, a Brazilian, was always an Otaku, reading manga, watching anime, even taking classes in karate and aikido, although he was usually quite lazy.
Well, at least he now had another chance in his next life, right?
[AT LEAST, THIS IS NORMALLY WILL HAPPEN. BUT I HAVE INTERFERED IN THIS PROCESS, AND I HAVE YOUR SOULS COME IN THIS LIMBO] (Supreme)
WHAT? Why would he do such a thing!?!
[FOR YOU SEE, I AM GOD, BUT NOT THE GOD OF HIS WORLD. My own world was born and needs guidance. FOR THAT PURPOSE, I CHOSE THE SOULS OF A MORE DEVELOPED WORLD TO SERVE IN ME AS GUARDIANS OF MY CREATION. ] (Supreme)
What was this? Seriously? Was he being the protagonist of some novel? Was this god taking them to be his servants, or something?
[DO NOT WORRY, CHILDREN, IN MY WORLD, YOU ARE THE GODS. YOU WILL HAVE POWER BEYOND THE DEAD. AND YOU WILL GOVERN YOURSELVES ABOUT THEM.] (Supreme)
That's a good, very good offer of an offer, Michael thought. There has to be a catch.
[All I ask of you in return is to overcome your specific domain, be it war or peace, life or death. Each of you will be given the power to ensure that things will be fast and stable.] (Higher)
Here it is. So we'll be some kind of heavenly bureaucracy. Are we going to spend eternity researching things, writing reports and going to divine business meetings? Will this "Supreme" be a stereotyped office clerk, telling us to fix our tie and respect the timeline?
Michael always hated the bureaucracy. An eternity as an office worker would be hell to him.
But as if the Supreme had read his mind (which was possible), the voice answered again.
[DO NOT WORRY, for when you take place as gods of that world, you will be left to your own devices. I WILL NOT INTERFERE DIRECTLY FROM THIS POINT BEFORE, HOW WILL IT BE YOUR TASK TO DO IT MY PLACE. In fact, you will not see me again until the end of time. LITERALLY. Then you will be free to do what you want. WELL OR EVIL, WORKING DIFFICULT OR HARMFUL ... YOU CAN DECIDE. JUST REMEMBER THAT WITH YOUR POWERS, AND DECISION THAT YOU HAVE HAD HUGE REPERCUSSIONS.] (God)
Well, was not that luck? Michael wondered if any of these "Supreme" words could contain any trap, but he could not find any.
He could spend the next eternity doing whatever he wanted, like a god among mortals, without having to worry about anything. Many people would consider this paradise.
Michael allowed himself to think what he could do. He could build himself a harem of beautiful women, he could defeat armies with his power as a god, and have any of his desires immediately bestowed.
The last thing I heard was "Congratulations you were chosen to be God of the underworld"
