CHAPTER 12 - A different world

In the end, when we left the store, it was already dark. The mall doesn't close until later, but Ana and I are tired.

We left the house at two o'clock in the afternoon and it's already night. The day was amazing but tiring.

This time we took a taxi home. The atmosphere between us got a little awkward, and it's my fault.

"See you tomorrow Ana."

I said goodbye to her when we arrived. There is no need to accompany her at home, it is on the same street. Besides, I don't know how to break this climate that I created myself. I can only wait for tomorrow's event.

I think our relationship started to change a little, Ana started looking at me with different eyes. Now she sees me as a member of the opposite sex, that is, as a man. Before, she just saw me as a childhood friend she wasn't attracted to.

How do I know this? First, she could have denied it, but she agreed to kiss me again.

And second, for the answer she gave when I asked her if she didn't like me. At the time, I didn't ask in the sense of friendship and Ana noticed that. Again, she could have denied it but she didn't.

I went into the house, my father and my stepmother were in the living room watching television. They watch a program that passes seed on Sunday nights.

"I arrived."

"Oh son. How was the date?"

It might be considered a date, but it wasn't.

"I just went out to have fun with Ana, it wasn't a date."

"Fufu."

This time it was my stepmother who spoke up. She put her hand over her mouth and giggled.

"No need to lie. Didn't you say you were going to find a new love? It could be Ana?"

She paused.

"Oh my God. You and Ana fell in love, that's why you wanted to break up the Arranged marriage. I get it."

What is this woman talking about? I said that I had a long time to live and that I could meet someone new.

I think in her mind, Ana and I fell in love while I was engaged to Irina. So I asked them to cancel the engagement.

"I'm not lying, we just hung out as friends."

My dad and she looked at each other and laughed. I decided to ignore these two and went upstairs to my room.

All the shopping I made today is here, my dad must have brought it for me. I started to unwrap everything.

the smell of new robe invaded my nose.

"Atchim. I'll wash them all tomorrow."

Suddenly, a light flashed before my eyes. Startled, I quickly jumped back.

"You were afraid?" was the Goddess of Reincarnation.

"Isn't it obvious? Who wouldn't be scared when something suddenly starts to materialize in front of you?"

"Hehehe."

The Goddess sat cross-legged on my bed. This woman is a temptation, only the word Goddess can define her.

"What is your name?"

Even the gods must have a name.

"It's Eva."

"Beautiful name."

"What did you think of this world?"

"It's a similar world, but different from mine."

On vacation, when I started studying, I realized that this world was different from mine. There are the same number of continents, but their names, sizes and positions are different. If I put the country I reincarnated on the map of my old world, it would be in the middle of a peaceful ocean.

The same goes for cities and money, in this world there is no dollar, euro, real, won and other currencies that existed in my old world. In my country, the official currency is called libriz. It's an ugly name for currency.

(N/A: 50 libriz. I apologize for the lack of creativity.)

In addition, history is also a little different, there were great navigations, imperialism, first and second world wars, cold war and other historical events. However, the characters and countries are different.

Thanks to my studies, I managed to adapt well. Subjects like math and science are identical.

"On second thought, I managed to adapt really well. When you said I was going to reincarnate, I thought it would be in my world."

"I said you would be reincarnated in another world, I never said it would be yours. But, you're lucky, the two worlds are similar."

"Is there a completely different world?"

"Yes, there are an infinite number of worlds. Any different event can create new possibilities, and all these possibilities create a new world, that is, a new reality."

"It is the year 2021 and no pandemic has happened in this world. Can this pandemic be considered a key point in the story that creates other worlds?"

"Yes. There was a world where the pandemic eradicated the entire human race."

I've never shown interest in this kind of subject, but I can't deny that it's amazing.

"This is all fascinating, but what are you doing here?"

I decided to change the subject, I don't want to know more than I need to.

"Two reasons. First, did you decide your order?"

"You already know what it is."

Eva sighed and said.

"I cannot marry you."

"Why?"

"I have obligations as a goddess."

"That's easy to fix. I just need to detail my request."

"A is? How?"

"I can ask for the creation of a new Goddess to replace you. That way you can marry me."

Eva was silent, she never imagined that I would suggest something so simple in the face of such a difficult problem.

"This will never work." she said.

"It doesn't hurt to try."

Eva sighed.

"I'll think about it."

I was surprised, in his eyes I could see a glimmer of hope. I will find this out in the future.

"What's the second thing?"

"Oh yes. A second soul reincarnated in this world. It wasn't her destiny so she used the wish. Also, she was very specific and asked to be reincarnated in this city."

I felt a shiver down my back when I saw the Goddess smile.

"Who is she?"

"You know."

"It's not possible."

I only know one person who could have made such a request.

"Not even death separates us, huh." I said.

"Which?"

"I was talking to myself."

"I gotta go."

She left before I could say goodbye.

....

(POV Eva)

I returned to the celestial realm.

"Did you go see that human? Someone is in love."

"Shut up."

I ignored the Goddess of Greed and continued walking towards my temple. She's not entirely wrong, it was the first time anyone said they were going to get me out of here.

I supported him but didn't show it. I can't kid myself, no one has ever asked for something like this before.

I sighed.

I don't mind becoming his wife if he gets me out of here. I've been doing the same thing for thousands of years, I've never had any new sensations.

I hope the wish works.
