"HELLO YOUNG ONE"
And opening my, I saw a figure in front of me, and while in a daze, I answered, "hello"
----------
Looking at the figure in front of me, I didn't know if I should address him/her as a male or female. The figure was beyond handsome and beautiful that I was lost in its appearance for some time.
Looking at me with an amused look he said "I am neither and both at the same time"
I was confused about what he meant by that but I couldn't find the correct manner of approach I would use in asking the question.
Looking at me and seemingly understanding what I am going through he said "I am what you want me to be, I am what you know as God, I am the beginning and the end, the creator, father by some or whatever you want to call me but most importantly I appear as who you see as your God"
Having understood what God was trying to say, I became more confused because in my eyes God was neither male nor female and at the same time both.
As if understanding my confusion, God said "during your entire life you never worshipped any God so your perception of who God is, is rather disturbing"
Trying to keep up with the conversation, I said "Well that's because I didn't see a need for one. When my father died, where was God? When my mother and I were suffering, where was God, during her sick period, where was God? When she died, where was God?"
Without being aware, I was already getting angry when I started talking as if finding the reason for my whole family's misfortune.
Looking at me with the same amused expression, as if looking at an interesting drama that has nothing to do with him, he answered "Well I was watching"
Hearing his answer, cut off my momentum, because that was not the answer I was expecting. What does he mean by watching? That it has nothing to do with him? Was he not the creator? Why create people just to watch them? I was confused, and my confusion gave way to anger as I asked " Watching? Why? Are you not the creator? The father of all living beings. Why create us just to watch us suffer?"
Finally putting on a serious face he asked me back "Why not?"
Feeling taken aback by his answer, I didn't know what to say, but not letting me think, he continued "Why would I help every single person who asks for help? Why should I help at all? Human beings are beings of free will, humans are products of their own will. What they decide to do dictates their future. Who am I to disrupt them? Humans come in kinds, majorly classified as good or bad by them. They decide to do good or to do bad and I am merely a spectator. The time when I held their hands in everything they do has long passed. I am being, restricted by neither time nor space, I am everywhere and nowhere at the same time, I know all and yet Know nothing at all. That is what I am and I do not expect a human who didn't even experience his own life to lecture me who has lived for eons"
Staring at him with a dumbfounded expression, I didn't know what to say. Was he right? Was I wrong? But he was right in the sense that I didn't live my life at all. I barely know more than five name's of people I met when I was alive. Who am I to lecture someone who has lived since the dawn of time immemorial, guided many eras, and worshipped by different religions with different beliefs?
He is not restricted by time, he knows the past, present, and future '!!' Suddenly something struck me. He said he know all and yet Knows nothing at all. What does that mean?
Looking at him and wanting to ask, I find him already looking at me with the same amused look. And seeming to understand what I wanted to ask, he said "where is the fun in knowing the future? I like the present as it is. Knowing the future makes my already boring life more boring"
Understanding what he was trying to say, I swallowed back my question. After all, it's like reading the manga of an anime before it comes out so there will be no excitement in watching the anime.
Looking at me curiously he asked a question that seemed to have been on his mind before coming here:
"By the way young one, how did you end up in my home?"
"Home?"
I asked, and he answered:
"Of course, this is my home. This is the beginning and the end. And I am curious as to why you did not pass on or reincarnate or something"
"I don't know, I just woke up here and then you came in here as well"
I answered.
He looked at me for some time, which made me nervous for some unknown reason.
After a long period of silence, he said
"Your soul seems to be a special soul. You don't have any karma whatsoever. Neither positive karma nor negative karma. It's like you didn't live at all, and that's disturbing. Maybe that's why your soul came back to it's its point of origin, awaiting rebirth"
I understood what he was trying to say, after all, I barely exchanged a few words with some people and I never look anyone in the face when I talk to them or even when I am walking. I was majorly concerned about the next thing to do and ended up neglecting or more like ignoring everything and everybody around me.
With a deep sigh I look at God and ask:
"So what now"
"Reincarnation," He said, but before I could ask anything, he continued:
"Though since you're a special case I'll allow you a wish or any desire of yours. Within a limit of course"
Puzzled at what he meant and also excited for what it could mean I ask:
"Can I be reborn in an anime or cultivation world?"
"Yes of course, though that will take up a portion of your wishes"
"How many wishes do I have remaining," I ask
"Just 3. The time you will be reincarnated well as whether to keep your memory intact will take 1 wish each. Then any other wish will take the other chance." He answered
Pondering for a moment I said:
"I want to be reborn in the world of Naruto, in the period after the battle between Kaguya Otsutsuki and her children. With my memories intact of course. As for my last wish, I want to have an immortal body"
He looked at me for some time before letting out a chuckle. He nodded before shaking it again and saying:
"The first 3 wishes can be granted, as for the immortal body, that's impossible. Though I can give you the method to attain it, after all,s already in your memory. So I will do you a favor and give you another minor wish. Use it well"
Hearing his answer and understanding that there will be no negotiations I fell into deep thought as I wanted to know how I can get an immortal body but I couldn't come to a definite answer. Still, knowing that he is God and he doesn't have any reason to lie, I pushed it to the back of my head without hesitation. Realizing that u still had a minor wish left to use I started pondering on what to use it for. After some time u concluded and looked at God before saying:
"I wish to be able to travel to other anime worlds or novel worlds"
Shaking his head in amusement, he said:
"I can't give you that ability out of the blue but I will revise it. I will make all your know world border each other. So, when you're strong enough or bored of the world you will be able to go to a world of you're choosing. But the price will be the energy in your body. How is that for a wish"
"I accept. Thank you"
Not wanting to push my luck too much, I accepted his offer.
"Alright, without further waste of time, off you go"
With a nap of his finger, I felt my body becoming illusionary, and my mind becoming hazy, I said to God
Thank you and I am sorry for being rude earlier"
Waving his hand in a manner that says 'alright get out of here I lost consciousness
