Once there was a pale man with dark hair who was v- I'm joking, I'm joking.

I'll start on the day I died, I don't remember in detail but I know I was a man and that life wasn't going great for me, I was very untalented with no skill in anything I had ever tried and I came from less than well off family.

I was extremely envious and hateful of those that had wealth and talent from birth, they had the fucking nerve to start complaining how unfair the world was when they fucked up and had their social media account got banned, while I was wondering if I'd make ends meet or only getting a slice of bread, piss for water and no roof over my head!

Okay, although that may have been an exaggeration it wasn't far off, living in a cheap flat struggling to pay rent.

I spent my days looking for work and my nights drowning my sorrows, until one day I finally had enough. I took what little savings I had and decided to drink myself to death, and so after a night of getting slaughtered, in the early hours of the morning my body covered in cuts and bruises I was walking by the tracks, my rum in hand I took my last swig then blacked out.

now I've woken up here, sober, in one piece and completely fine, no injuries, no pains and no hangover but my memory's fuzzy.

'huh, guess I must be dead then' I thought to myself

I suppose I should explain where here is, well I guess it's kind of like a waiting room/reception but mix with a hall I mean this place is massive

also I'm not the only one here, there's probably a few thousand people here and it seems most of them have also come to the conclusion that they're dead, based on their reactions.

although a few are calm like me, most are either sad or extremely scared and muttering to themselves things like "this can't be happening." or "I don't deserve this." and a very small number are laughing hysterically, a couple of which are wearing very distinct orange top and pants.

'Tsk, prisoners. I hope this isn't the queue for hell then.'

just as I was figuring out the predicament I was in, a very tall and slim man in a suit and tie looking like an average businessman appeared he had a large pair of horns on the front of his head poking through long, untidy, dark dark blue hair which draped over his shoulders, this man then approached a rather ordinary podium at the front of the room, then stood behind a large and very beautiful ornate marble lectern.

after looking around briefly, he clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention as he did the room went silent, then he spoke in a deep and cold voice

[It looks like everyone is here. Now then I'm here to inform you of your current situation and your future circumstances.]

with his unchanging stoic face he continued

[As some of you may have of realised, you are dead. ah I haven't introduced myself yet have I?

I am Vi-Ta-Rek an upper tier god, that is all you need know.] he arrogantly proclaimed

[Now to answer some question you may have.] he sighed in an annoyed tone

[what normally happens when you die is you are reincarnated at random to the world you died on or one similar, while losing you memories however this time is going to be an exception, due to a special event some of us on a whim have decided to reincarnate a small number of people to a fantasy style world and give you divine blessings, for and I quote "shits and giggles", so in summary your not special you were selected at random, the world you'll be sent to is a pretty common high-fantasy world, your race and sex will be random, as for your divine blessings and further information, you will be informed by the angel or lower tier god which has been individually assigned to you.] he explained

a bright, blinding light filled the room and a feeling of weightlessness enveloped me, then I heard him speak once again.

[that's all, we wish you luck and please make it at least a little entertaining, goodbye]

then I found myself siting in a chair next to a table, with in a room that looked like a young girls bedroom, sat across from me was a little girl around 7 or 8 years old in appearance, she had her platinum blond hair tied in a pony-tail, she also had beautiful cyan eyes and wore a frilly white dress with pink frills, she was very cute

[hello, and your name is?]

[ah, yes.......... um sorry, I don't quite remember]

[I see......oh well these things sometimes happens, anyways let's get to business, my name is mia I am a lower tier goddess I'll be helping you today]

'hmm her cutesy tone is well cute but something just feels off about her'

[So! do you have any questions]

[ah...... no]

[well then let's move on to your divine blessings, what do you want?]

[anything?]

[Anything!]

[then I want talent.]

[........ that it?]

[that's all.]

[...you sure?]

[yes]

[..I mean, You'll Die!]

[I don't care, if i have talent anything's possible]

[uh....................you're not that bright are you?]

[so?]

[that's it I'm giving you three extras, no arguing you're taking them] 

she holds up her hand and in it appears a golden sphere of light about the size of a softball

[but..]

[no buts, now take this and go!]

she reaches over the small table and pushes the sphere into me while phasing into me it sends me flying, suddenly I'm surrounded by a warm white light causing me to close my eyes, I feel wet and it's hard to breath then I feel a warm embrace

[there, there it's okay mommy's here.]

my eyes open and after a few seconds my eyes adjust to the light and before me is a beautiful woman with bright crimson red hair and deep blue eyes with an extremely pale complexion, my mother.... within her arms I settled down and stopped the wailing that I had been doing without realising.

[well done lady Tia, you've given birth to a beautiful healthy girl.]

looking towards the sweet voice I see a young lady with short chestnut hair with pointy dog-like ears on the top of her head, moving my vision down she has a nice, cute face with slightly tan skin and brown eyes, she seems to be wearing something akin to a maids uniform as well as a metal collar around her neck.

'ah.............wait did she say girl?!'
