« I am just here to offer you a chance—an opportunity »
"I accept your offer"
« Very well then, Let me just create your system and you'll be on your way »
The Creator moves his hands in some odd way and I feel some sort of a suction force coming my way and pulling me to God knows where...
" Wait..Wait, stop... Give me more details before you send me off "
" I don't even know where I am going "
" What is this system like..?! "
« oh oh.. chill dude.. I like your other side, but that doesn't mean I enjoy questions being fired at me one after another »
Gulp.
I again take deep breaths to calm myself down, no not because I'm scared of The Creator..
...I am terrified
But that's not the point, This being is going to drive me crazy. He's supposed to be a top-tier being above Gods. Then what the heck is wrong with his mind"
"How is he an all knowing existence and inconsistent with doing things at the same time and "chill dude"...
"Why is the guy talking like a Gen-z kid from earth, HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE BEYOND EXISTENCE ITSELF "
« I am not a Gen-Z kid Azrael, That's simply how your mind interprets my existence »
« I do not exist, so inorder for us to communicate there must be a medium. Which is ...your brain »
« And how your brain rationalizes my existence is not on me, It's upon you »
He tilts his featureless "head."
« Also, did you not notice Azrael? I don't even have a mouth..so how am I speaking to you?..hehe »
".............." Silence
The dark void goes back to its natural state, where silence is prevalent, Two beings stand facing each other.
One amused and the other one, too stunned to even form a normal sentence
After a while, I finally managed to speak.
"So... you are telling me, that whatever I am seeing The void, your shape, everything I'm seeing - is just my mind's interpretation of what you might be"
« Yes, like I said.. I don't exist, Azrael »
This time not even taking deep breaths is helping me, How the hell did I get involved in something like this?, I wanted an opportunity to escape.. but this,
what the f*ck is this..
But then suddenly it hits me, and I start laughing..
Hahaha... Hahaha... Who am I kidding..?!.. This is exactly the kind of insane mess I want to be entangled in..
So let's put aside comprehending what this existence is, and just focus on making the most of this opportunity.
"Wait a minute...how did he know about my Gen-z rambling?.. did I say it out loud..?!
"No that can't be, I am pretty sure I didn't do that..then how—
there's just one more possibility"..
Azrael's eyes are widened when he realizes what has been going on from the start.. he is petrified just by considering the possibility of what has happened..
"You can read my mind, can't you..?"
When he said the medium of our exchange is your brain, he meant it. From the start he is been speaking directly into my mind and my brain is auto-generating responses to his actions..
« Hehe.. you finally realized it. yes, I can read your mind »
"................." Silence
« Oh come on, Azrael. I am talking about reincarnating you with a customised system and incredible perks, and you go numb just by realising that I can read your mind.. stop sweating the details »
« Anyways.. Let's get serious now, shall we..? »
Yes, you are a fool Azrael.. This guy is literally handing you a system, so what's a little bit of mind-reading going to change?
Let's get serious.
"Alright, Tell me about the system"
« Good. now.. as I said it's not exactly a system per say.. The more accurate term would be an assistant, it will do all the things you expect a system to do but it will have consciousness..
.... my consciousness..»
I almost panic before he interrupts.
« Before you start firing another round of questions, let me make it clear - No, I am not going to be with you. when I say "my consciousness". I have plenty of insignificant, leftover fragments of my mind, one of them will be handling the system..Okay..?! »
"Umm.. Okay..! "
« Now moving onto some other important functions of the system, There will be a system store. Where you can buy anything in reality, all that would be provided by me »
« There will be quests ....and rewards.. ahh...what else is there?? »
« I don't know, what is so fascinating about this system that you like so much.. I'm literally creating it as we speak, so if u have any more questions ask that insignificant fragment of my consciousness after you are reincarnated »
System.
Store.
Quests.
Rewards
Bye bye, folks.. after hearing those words yours truly AZRAEL has gone offline..
he needs 3-5 business days to process these four words being used together...
A few minutes passed, and there was still no answer from Azrael's side..
« knock knock, Azrael.. Are you ready ? "
« Do you accept the system? »
When he was silent, Azrael was considering many things, he had many questions that he had planned to ask but when he heard that question from The Creator.. all those questions faded to the back of his mind.. He just wanted to answer one thing and that's all Azrael did.
" YES "
Just as he said YES, A connection of silver-purple energy was established between him and The creator and they both stood still for quite a while and then after some time the energy started to fade away from The creator's side and got completely assimilated in Azrael.
« So now that is over, time to send you on your way »
" Wait -wait! .. at least tell me where you are reincarnating me! And..and.. why are you doing this ?! "
« Hmm. as far where I am reincarnating you... I don't know » Azrael frowned when he heard this, he was just about to fire questions when he heard The creator..
« Don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't know, it's more like I don't want to.. where is the fun if everything is spoon-fed to my inheritor »
« The only thing I can assure you of is, it will be a world ruled by humans, with a civilized society »
« As for why I am doing this... Well, there is something in it for me. But don't worry — it doesn't concern you or your loved ones directly »
« Ahh my future self is overlapping... What are you doing ¥$€¢√¥¢ ?
After a few minutes,
« Ahem sorry for that, a minor inconvenience which is solved now »
Crazy, this creator guy is crazy. Why did he suddenly start speaking in gibberish and who the fu*k was he even talking to..?
« Now now, I am not crazy, Azrael. let's just say that it was a reminder for me to tell you that I have one more privilege to offer before i send you off, are you willing to hear this crazy creator out, Azrael ? ..Hehe »
Sh*t.. I forgot he can read my mind..
ahhh control yourself dumb fuck, don't forget you are in the middle of being reincarnated, so don't anger the guy infront of you, unless you want to end up in the middle of a disaster...
" What is this privilege? " Azrael asks,
« Hahah haha.. I love this dual personality of yours, that makes everything so much fun »
Azrael frowns when he hears this, because his dual personality is a kind of a sore topic for him as it hasn't been helpful to him on earth, on the contrary it is a trouble that's been bothering him since his childhood days.
But however much bitter the fact is, he has to accept that all of his exchange with The Creator is being done by his other side
and due to that he is getting the chance of a lifetime.
" ....The privilege? "
« Ah yes, The privilege is : you are granted three wishes. »
