Kapitel 2: Bargaining
Black. No. It wasn't a color. It was just total darkness. Adam felt nothing but he could perceive his current situation. This isn't the first time he experienced this sensation.
He was in a mother's womb. He was aware but he still felt nothing. A fetus does not have enough cognitive functions in its body to sense things yet.
'This is just the worst.' Adam thought.
A fetus should not be capable of such thoughts but Adam was not just any baby. He's a man-baby.
You would think that he would be mature knowing he has lived a lot of lives. That is a wrong observation. Adam does act childish because he is not impervious to the age of his current body.
Still, how could he be aware of his situation? That is because God made it so. To torment Adam, mostly for fun. Hence the reason Adam does not like God so much.
'I wonder how long my life will be this time. That buffoon of a god did say he'll make things interesting.'
Let's go back to when God and Adam had a conversation.
"How about this? I'll set the stage for you. This time, try to be in the spotlight." God said with an abstract body which is beyond any mortal's comprehension.
True that may be, but God reveals himself in different forms for everyone. To children, he is a kind and warm light that shines upon them every morning. To elderly who are nearing their demise, he is their solace.
To the wicked, he is the fires of the pit. He is filled with malice on one side but he is gentle on the other. He rules his kingdom with an iron-fist but to those that follow his will, he blesses. His actions are justified. To punish the evil and to reward the good.
But in no way is he a benevolent god.
"Prepare for war Adam. Once you are old enough, I shall ignite the flames of war." God said with a voice full of excitement.
'Damned old man.' Adam thought. To Adam, God is an elderly with a long beard in white robes. With wrinkles that show the cruelty of time yet at the same time those same wrinkles gave God a profound image.
Adam in God's Realm was nothing but a blue orb mixed with green. He was free to float around anywhere within the realm but he didn't move an inch from where he spawned. There were a lot of things in God's Realm, books, consoles, pools, instruments, you name it.
Still, Adam was as still as water in an untouched pond. That is because God is very possessive with his stuff.
The first and last time he touched those things, he was reincarnated into a baby in a wealthy family. The only catch is that this particular baby had bone cancer and was allergic to water. He was given to a wealthy family so that he wouldn't die in a ditch very quickly.
"So Adam, what do you want this time?" God smirked as he said.
God was talking about Adam's talent in his next life.
"By the way, extreme intelligence is off the list of talents. You'll make things boring just like the recent life you had." God added.
Adam was a politician in his most recent life. He didn't bring a lot of change in his ventures but he did his best as a politician, be that as it may he was also corrupt in times of need and wants.
"Come on, ending the world war with a bang was exciting for you wasn't it?" Adam rebuked god's pettiness.
Adam was also a theoretical physicist in his 2nd most recent life. He sent a certain letter to President Roosevelt to encourage the atomic bomb race which the Nazis were secretly developing in the Manhattan Project.
"War is a disease. It makes me sick thinking of the deaths I caused by that one letter, but there were justifications, the danger the Germans would make of them." Adam said with a strained voice.
God scoffed at his statement and then walked towards his kitchen.
"I'm making tea. Which flavor do you want?" God asked in a casual manner.
"Give me a temporary body first then I'll tell ya." Adam retorted as a greenish-blue blob.
God snapped his fingers. Adam instantly felt his sensations. He was once again not used to a body without ailments as he was suffering as an old man for quite a while.
"May I sit down?" Adam asked.
"You may."
It was a very mundane conversation. Adam was relaxed as well, he hasn't felt this great in ages. God's Realm was a very comfortable plane of existence, it's interior was decorated after a house as well.
"Aight. Give me a cup of Da-Hong Pao." Adam replied to God's earlier question.
A few moments later, God came back with 2 cups. One was filled with tea, the other was filled with ectoplasm. Seeing the other cup, Adam winced.
'He revels in drinking souls.' Adam thought.
"Now then. What talent is it this time hmmm?" God asked as he served tea.
Adam was sent into deep thought. He doesn't want to suffer in another war again so he has to find a way to end the cycle.
"How about permanent death?" Adam asked with a playful smile.
"Rejected." God gave an instant rejection to his suggestion.
"Stingy God." Adam berated God but God pretended to not hear his words.
"Alright. Then let me have the ability to amalgamate Gaia Essence." Adam said as he sipped his tea confidently.
"Interesting. Entertain me properly this time." God snapped his fingers as Adam was still busy sipping his tea.
"Have fun in the womb." God continued with a sadistic smile.
"No, wai-"
