"You seem to be enjoying your new life well".
The being looked down at me from his throne, his glowing eyes sending a wave of dominance, his smooth skin and lackadaisical demeanor gave off an uncanny level of reverence and grace.
The more I saw him, the more he really did look like a god.
The way he elegantly sat, his condescending golden eyes, his pale white skin, his sharp and proud features and even his perfect white robe.
I looked down at myself but there was nothing there, it seemed like i wasn't real but I could feel every sensation, it didn't feel like a dream but not quite reality at the same time.
Coupled with the fact we were now in a black void like the void of death and his throne being the only actual object in the whole plane, I wasn’t even sure what was going on.
"Your mana core forged so early as a result of my eyes, it at least allows me to talk to you".
"Why did you bring me back?".
"You talk as if you aren't enjoying your new life".
"That...that may be true, but I still need to know your intentions".
He let out a long sigh and lifted his body from his throne, steps forming under his feet as he walked down until he was on the floor of the void.
"My intentions are simple, kill the Dragon Lord and the Sky Lord".
"So those are the people who killed you??".
"I'm not dead, those dogs couldn't kill me if they all combined into one, it goes deeper than that".
"What are the lords anyways??".
"Don't ask me such useless questions, you can find a textbook and read about us but my demand remains. I need you to off those bastards for me then we can head into bringing me back.
“It already hurts asking an ant to do something for me but I suppose there's no helping it".
He's quite prideful that's for sure.
"You talk big but you need my help at the end of the day". Then taking my voice up a notch, "I have questions I want answered and you’re gonna answer them".
There was a brief moment of silence as we stared at each other before he burst out laughing, "Alright then boy, you have some backbone for a toddler but I'll listen to you".
"Who exactly are you? What are these eyes?? And why did you choose me to reincarnate??".
"First off, I am the Celestial Lord, the strongest of all the lords that govern the world. The rest you can find in a book somewhere, our identities are common knowledge in this world and we’re at times worshipped depending on the location".
"Second, These are the Aeon eyes or Paradox eyes depending on how you want to phrase it. They are my personal eyes and come with an array of powers, it was the only thing I could give you as I was in battle and couldn't hold onto the tides of Chaos for long".
"Chaos?".
"Chaos is the force of reality or in better words it’s the force that controls reality”.
“One with control over Chaos, has dominion over all magic, has control over fate, over all reality, over the present, future and past, you essentially become God if you can master Chaos".
"So my eyes can look into Chaos?".
"Wrong, they may be able to see the strings of Chaos and depending on your own control, could help you but it isn't exactly a guide".
"You will learn more as you train, you'll need far more power than you currently do if you're ever gonna match with the lords".
I gazed up at the god as he boldly spoke but I had no intention of following this, I have no intentions of doing any of this.
"No".
"Excuse me?", his voice coming out almost irritated.
"I said no, I have no intentions of fighting any of the lords or any god whatsoever or getting my life in any major trobule".
"I want to live, I want to live happily, explore, meet people, find love...I want a life".
He looked down at me, irritation and anger evident in his gaze. "The hell are you saying human...you came into this world with no purpose or will, now I give you one and you reject it?".
"Look you brought me here out of the blue, I didn’t ask to be reborn and now you want me to go on this revenge journey? For an already dead god??".
"You stupid mortal, do you really believe you can have a carefree life? You want to go about your days enjoying with family?? Toying with magic then settling down and having kids? Do you think this is some fucking game!?".
"You're weak...suffering always follows the weak, it doesn't matter what world you manifest into. The weak will always be devoured by the strong, that much is the law of nature".
"It's eat or be eaten".
"I will get strong enough to protect my family but I have no need for fame or any of that, I want to study magic and understand it but I don’t want to get into wars or constant battles".
"What I have now is beautiful, I want to keep that".
"I see, I need not speak much more since you've made up your mind. You've lived in a well off family so far and it seems you've forgotten the struggles of your past life”.
“You've forgotten your younger siblings, Oliver and Amanda, the tragedy they went through".
"Don't bring them into this!!", I lashed out.
Turning away from me, he hopped and hovered up to his throne, "Oh, did I hit a nerve?? Well, I'll leave you to protect your life”.
"You think this life will be a bed of roses? Just wait, I can already see the calamity that awaits you.
“A calamity greater than what regular reincarnates ever receive, oh how fate is cruel".
"The Chaos in this world, is one of another kind".
"Reincarnates?? So there are more like me??".
“I advise you d-“.
His voice was caught short as my ears started to deafen and my vision began to blur again and darken once more.
"Seems like you're…waking up, who kn- when I'll be able to talk to you again. I'm going…to…be bored again".
Such great fucking timing.
"Wait...are they other reincarnates like me? And why are you reincarnating them".
"Go find…a book and…read, I can’t teach…you everything”.
