The Result

"Damn no need to hit me that hard the knife was sharp enough to pierce the brain the force of the blow knocking the side out of my skull was just unnecessary really."

I complain as I open my eyes … 'wait how did I open my eyes I am dead technology may be cool but it can't reconstruct a brain pasted to a wall, oh wait dead, soul they reconstruct into the body as if it was whole to save time and calm people down' the thoughts run through my head while I look around the dark almost cage that I am in at the moment.

"That was quick" the voice of an old man kind of like how most grandfather's sound came from behind me, confusing me slightly as I had looked behind myself earlier and there was no one there yet turning around. I can now see a figure sitting at a low table drinking tea.

The figure who looks like a stereotypical grandfather with a long white beard smiles and beacons me over,

"now then you put us in a very awkward position young one." he says calmly as I come over as sit at the table with him, he also pours me a cup of tea to drink.

Thanking him I take a sip of the tea 'plain green' I realise the taste of it immediately. It is one of my preferred teas to drink.

I then look at him and ask the main question on my mind "what do you mean I place you in an awkward position and who even are you if I may be so bold to ask?"

The man grins at me "well I'll start with the second part of your question as it will lead into the first, I am God. Not the only God mind you, you got that part right there are others I was just the one chosen to deal with you.

Now with who I am out of the way on to why you put us in an awkward position, you see we normally judge those who die based on their actions this would typically put you in either the lighter side of Hell as we do take thoughts and intentions into account or you would be in Limbo for a time before being recycled into a new person, simple.

The problems start to arise when we bring Lily into the question as since the two of you are soul bound you are classified as one person who has two destinations which can't be done. Our conclusion" he spreads his hands out as he takes a slight breath still preventing me from really getting my thoughts into order or a word in.

"We are giving you a choice, hell and eternal suffering or reincarnation where you get a curse and slight blessing tied to the curse."

'Choice what kind of choice is that? Lily, what have you done? You didn't like talking about the past but really this is what I get for sticking with you well hope for adventure and a not so bad curse I suppose.'

Sighing and having finally been able to get my thoughts in order I make my decision slightly, looking at Lily in my mind for confirmation and seeing her nod while looking at God annoyed "we will take the cursed reincarnation then as Lily doesn't want to drag me down too far it seems."

God nods with a smile on his face "good I was hoping you would say that now the curse and the blessing. The curse is something you are familiar with. It is known as Cursed Works but I will break it down a bit for you what it entails. 1 you can no longer die permanently unless the council of god's decrees it, 2 inside your mindscape is effectively an inventory it will create a perfect replica of any cursed, blessed or magic items you see and finally it will flip the gender of your body but prevent aging past 18 so I would advise you have the appearance you want when you turn 18.

Now the blessing first you will have some clothes in the inventory to start with that will automatically repair themselves and resize to you as you grow no weapon though you will have to make or find one of those yourself, you will also have a system which will help you keep track of your inventory as you may find it will grow to the point you forget some of the things in there it will also allow you to travel a bit more easily so long as you meet certain requirements."

with that God finished explaining what I had gotten myself into and I was slightly groaning as I wasn't the most keen to be a girl got nothing against them or anything they can be more terrifying than boys but it meant that I would have to learn how to do almost everything again go toilet nope got to relearn that balance gonna have to regain that not to mention periods not looking forward to them hopefully I won't be in the middle of one when I turn 18 and I won't have to deal with them again hopefully

'haha now you can know some of the things I feel trying to get used to your body.'

'Realy Lily you are going to have to go through that learning curve again anyway now we will suffer together.'

I grin as I reply to Lily who was laughing at me. I then realised it would be worse for me as she had already gone through this before and she was a girl normally.

"Well, best of luck in your new life and a piece of advice." God leans in

"live by a code and don't bend it too much" with those parting words I get sent into my new life hoping and ironically praying that it would be somewhere I knew.
