Chapter 2: God's Emotions

I silently listened and rejoiced, because it looks like my path is not over yet. Reincarnation awaits me.

"But before you go further, I want to offer you something. - With a smile he said, seeing my excitement.

Ears perked up, I prepared to listen. An offer from God cannot be simple.

"I suggest you become my" champion "and get a" system ". Before accepting my offer, think it over carefully, because otherwise, there will be no way back.

To say that I was surprised is to say nothing. I wanted to instantly agree, but I stopped myself, albeit with difficulty. Both paths need to be explored before making a decision.

- What does it mean "to become a champion"? What responsibilities will I have? - I asked on reflection, a little cautiously.

- To become a champion means to become my chosen one and get a mark. You see, among superpowered beings there are rules. One of them says that other gods should not affect the champions of other gods in any of the available, possible ways. In general, becoming my champion, you will receive protection from other gods and their chosen ones. Your duty, as such, is only one - to entertain me with your adventures. He finished explaining, with a grin on his face.

Clear. Very interesting. Clown has never been. Okay.

- And what awaits me if I choose an ordinary, simple reincarnation? - I asked almost immediately, not long pondering over what I had recently heard. Because it didn't make sense, I need a complete picture.

- If you choose a simple rebirth, then I will reincarnate you into a random world where you will be left in the care of luck, fate. Basically, you will have two paths. Either you are lucky and you will gain immortality or the ability to travel through the universes. Or you will simply die and go to another unknown god who will decide your fate. Something like this. - calmly, with a smile, he explained.

Now I understand that his "offer" is too good. So good that it looks more like a trap ... But do I have a choice? And can I refuse at all? To madness, I do not want to play Russian roulette again.

- I accept your offer. I replied with a breath.

- Are you sure? Think better. If you become my "champion", you will link your fate with mine for a long time. Perhaps by choosing the usual reincarnation you will be lucky and you will find yourself in a good world, in a good time, place and body. Of course the chance of this is rather small, but it is there. - he broadcast with a smile, trying to "dissuade" me.

- I'm sure. After my recent death, I don't want to tempt fate again, to jump into the unknown. - I answered, finally accepting the fate of the jester.

- Great! From now on, you are my champion! And for convenience, my champion, switch to a more familiar style of communication! We still have a very long time to cooperate! And yes, if you have any questions, ask them! - with a bright, disposing smile he said.

- Okay, I have questions. - I began to speak more relaxedly.

- Ask them. He said and waved his hand. A moment later, two chairs appeared, extremely comfortable. He sat down in one of them and invited me to do the same.

- You could not arrange all this acquaintance, right? I'm sure you could just immediately reincarnate me with the system and secretly watch me. - I asked uncomprehendingly.

- Yes, I can do that, or rather I have the opportunity. But it's not my style to do that. In fact, most superpowered creatures do not bother with such meetings and simply throw the lucky one into the thick of things. Lucky for you that even among the gods, I am considered a little eccentric. He replied with a grin.

- Clear. Next question. How am I going to entertain you? And why do you need this at all? - I asked the question again, after comprehending the answer.

- I'll start with the second question, if you don't mind ... You see, the more power, strength, power you have, the more boring life becomes for you. For example, let's take a character from the anime you recently watched - Saitama. This guy, having received enormous power, lost not only his hair, but also most of his emotions and feelings. Rather, it has become much more difficult to experience them. I, on the other hand, are ridiculously stronger than Saitama. - he said with a smile and then asked with a grin.

- Do you understand what I'm getting at? -

- Yes, I understand. I replied, nodding. Even the last idiot will understand.

"It's almost impossible for the gods to experience emotions in the usual way. You will be surprised, but the absolute majority of us are dying at our own hands, unable to withstand such an existence. Even now I do not experience anything, but only "play" to make it more comfortable for you. To entertain me is very simple. The system records your life like a movie with its beginning "Birth" and the end "Death", and then sends it to me for "viewing". During this "viewing" I will experience everything that you will experience. - he finished speaking, spreading into a smile.
