Chapter 4 - 04

/ A dark and unknown place /

In this dark place, devoid of light and filled with darkness, one could actually see a light in this infinite darkness.​​

The light was due to and produced by a flame that seemed immense as it approached, whereas it was only a grain of sand in the infinite darkness.

Seen up close, this flame was neither too dark nor too light green, a perfect balance between the two. It gave a sense of purity, kindness, calm and peace to anyone who saw it, and even at a fairly close distance, the flame did not emit an ounce of scorching, unpleasant heat, but a warm, compassionate warmth.

Anyone who had the opportunity and the chance to see this flame would surely become hungry for this comfortable warmth, they would feel that they could say anything as with a close relative, a family.

This flame gives the impression of being the embodiment of all lives, the beginning of all living beings, one could see life, nature and a panoply of pure and just feelings coming out of it.

But on the contrary, for any person with bad intentions or bad karma, a bad person in general having committed serious sins such as murder, ****,..., he would have a feeling of horror, of primary fear.

The flame would then become rather the incarnation of death, the end of existence itself, neither peace nor reincarnation, your existence would literally be erased, forgotten. You would rather see in this flame a hell, a purgatory, limbo, and all the worst nightmares imaginable.

/ A few hours later /

'Mmmmh' the flame, or rather Shin, woke up from a sudden and painful sleep. Or rather the method of putting him to sleep was painful, otherwise his sleep was deep and quite pleasant.

Having completely opened his eyes and recovered his mind, Shin remembered his death and his arrival in this space, as well as the rather fascinating and inexplicable phenomenon that had occurred there.

'Aaargh, my head' All his memories came back to him and it caused him a big headache... even though he didn't really know if he still had a head or a brain, even though he could think and reflect.

'So it wasn't a dream...' Shin thought that he was looking around to get his "bearings", even though he was in the dark and could only see what he was lighting up.

Nevertheless, he was concentrating very hard so that he wouldn't miss a single small detail or change that would have taken place while he was sleeping.

He did not know how long he had been asleep or what the previous phenomenon had done.

...

...

But after several minutes of intense observations from top to bottom and from left to right, he could not observe any change, in appearance or otherwise.

'Seriously? All this, all these incredible things, just for this, for nothing?' exclaimed a very disappointed Shin.

But his disappointment didn't last long because he suddenly felt a second headache but much stronger than the first.

And during his intense headache, he began to hear a voice that seemed human but without tone, a voice neither low nor high, a monotonous voice devoid of emotion, and to which no genre could be attributed. Nevertheless, it was not unpleasant, Shin was grinning only because of the headache.

[Hello host, from now on I will be your guide, ȧssistant and help you in your journey.]

Shin was surprised at first with this voice plus the headache but he quickly recovered by understanding the meaning of it all.

'YES! In the end, all this was not for nothing! What luck!'

Shin was really happy, it was a dream come true, which does not happen often. If he saw himself, he would surely be surprised by his childishness, but he didn't have time to think about it or notice it.

"So, system, can I ask you some questions?"

[Of course host, I will execute all requests that are possible and answer all your questions.]

'Oh and call me Shin.'

[Yes master Shin]

A drop of sweat appeared on Shin's forehead as a clumsy and ironic smile appeared on his face.

'So tell me, why am I here?'

[You are here because you have been chosen by the will of the universe.]

'Will of the universe?'

[Yes, as the name suggests, it is the will of a universe and in your case, the will of a newly born universe.]

'A newly born universe?'

Nevertheless, this event is very rare, if not impossible, and there are very few of them].

'I see, but then why am I here?'

[You are here to become the first god of this universe and help the universe.]

'Am I going to become a god?' Shin was quite excited about this revelation but he didn't express it too much because he thought it was too good to be true. Nothing in life is easy.

[Yes and no. You have to know that when a universe is created in a normal way, one or more gods will automatically be created, it's like a law. As for universes like this one, generally, the universe creates its god from the remaining energy with which it was born, but that universe decided to do something else. It decided to use its remaining energy plus your karmic energy that you had in very large quantities to create me, a being, or rather as I am called a "system" to guide you to become a god yourself by venturing into other worlds and universes.]

Shin reflected on all that was said to him and spoke after digesting it all.

'So if I summarize, I am going to be sent to other worlds to become stronger until I become a god and then what? I should create planets and create lives?' said Shin with a bit of sarcasm in his voice for the last sentence.

[Basically, that's it. As for the part about becoming a god and then becoming a god, well actually, I'll explain all that to you when you're reincarnated and have a body, so for now...]

[The host's body is going to be rebuilt...]

[Found]

[Phoenix God: A mythical bird made of fire and immortal by being reborn from the ashes of its death. Compared to normal Phoenix, the Phoenix Gods have an affinity for all elements such as water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness].

Shin had already fainted since the beginning of the whole process so he didn't realize everything that had just happened but he will be very soon after waking up in a new world.

[Searching for an inferior world as the first of the host].
