There was no sound, only emptiness, I feel nothing except the cold waters that surround me, I opened my eyes but only darkness is the one that I see, loneliness is the thing that I couldn't withstand, for eternity I will rest here in this secluded space seeing nothing, hearing nothing only silence will be my companion in the depths of darkness. I could not utter a word my lips sealed tight as if there was force is it because I have no control? My back bent, my legs crossed, my hands wrapped around my legs but I can still open my eyes until… I cried I was filled by sadness, it enveloped me, I miss my family and him but there's nothing I can do.
Then a ball of light suddenly appeared, I raised my head and gazed upon it, the feeling coming from it was filled with warm there is no hint of evil I was scared at first but a gentle and kind aura was coming from this light. The sparkles it emits falls off it quickly then it spoke.
"Speak"
After the light spoke I was able to speak, my lips that were sealed tight now free of restriction, is it the binding of death that made me not utter a word? then who is this or what is this ball of light?
"Who are you?" I ask in curiosity.
"Yaweh that is who I am"
I frowned in thought, is there someone I know that have that name? it's kind of unique to have that name but why do I feel a divinity from it?
"Don't be curious any further for I am just a lost deity that stumbled upon a soul who's heart is not sinned yet past is full of dispute and endless struggle, why are you in this deathly chamber created by the god of the underworld? Or perhaps some god pulled a prank on you little one?"
The information of this ball of light struck me I was surprised, who knew there were gods then does that mean magic still exists?Oh! I forgot Zen's grandmother has magic.
"The god of the underworld? Who is that?"
"Hades, are you not acquainted with that name?"
I shake my head not knowing that name again I was surprised, the watery feeling became loose the light from the ball of light seemed to vanish the waters, it made me stand on my own two feet, then a table with two chairs appeared out of nowhere, the light became a faceless man, the white robe covering his body except for his hands and feet, from the looks of it, his skin was light brown, his feet covered in scars, it was painful to see I focused on those of the middle of his hands, it was a scar that looks like it was shot or pushed by some object same to his feet.
"Sit wherever you like"
I sat on one of the chairs while he was on the other, two cups appeared suddenly a teapot also appeared, he poured tea on the cups as he gave one to me, the aroma it has is beautiful, it was alluring.
"Thank you" I say, I couldn't understand what expression he was displaying since this man is faceless.
"How come do you not know the myths? Do you know Gaia? The mother of titans? Do you know the three Olympian god? Or do you know Chaos?"
Again I shook my head not knowing them "Who are they?"
"Are they not the gods you worship?" he asks before sipping his cup of tea…wait isn't he a faceless one? Oh well logic of anime maybe? Where would the tea go?
"No but there is gods we worship the goddesses that have the rank of Queen of Miracles, these spirits were said to have governed the first time of kingdoms with no dispute, a treaty was created between the spirits that kingdoms should not declare war even if famine comes on one of the nations or else the spirits themselves will appear and execute to those who wants war, it is said that they don't want any trouble to be given to them so for now we humans have rules like just having one to three children for each family for not having over population we even fixed crop problems that our country faced through an even though the spirits are not yet seen for decades or millennials I have the feeling they tend to our problems such as plants, water and other necessities, the water from one of the waterfalls never dries up the fruits grow only in four days in the mountains I believe the spirits take care of us humans, I may not care sometimes about magic and the past but I still care for the culture we people that have been given by these spirits"
"So they reached Queen of Miracles already? That was quicker than I thought, do you know what Supreme Ultima is my dear?"
It was the voice of a woman I heard the light that enveloped this place became dark, a woman in dark veil, a black dress that well showed her feminine features but I looked to her chest it was flat.
"My my why are you looking at my chest you thought I was a woman?" She laughed in amusement.
Wait she's not?!but her dark veil not showed her face that much because of the darkness that enveloped this place.
"So tell me young one do you know what is Queen Of Miracles is?" it was faint but I saw her lips making a grin, her presence made me fear her it was as if I was a microorganism and she was a mountain but I composed myself and sighed letting go of my fears and answered.
"No"
"Those are god ranks you see, Warrior, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Epical God, Legend Maker, Myth, The Scales Of Balance, Greater Scales of Balance, Prince/Princess of Tides, Queen of Miracles, King Of Demise, Supreme Ultima , Supreme Myth, Ultimate Myth Weaver, and Lastly Spiritua so they the spirits you worship are at number 12 from the looks of it they're only pseudo queen of miracles so they recently just made that level huh"
There was little pride in her voice saying those words it's kind of amazing that the gods have ranks they were placed.
"Pseudo?"
"Pseudo is the first form of a god you see there are three stages" she comes as she sits on the faceless man between his legs, he didn't react nor he rejected her he sat there in silence, plus calling her by the pronouns of her and she suits her by the way "after pseudo they will become a Halfling after that they become true gods of that rank then after it they move on to the next upon reaching the highest level of the specific rank"
"So why are you telling me about r-ranks?" I answered as I stutter.
"Simply because you're a monster yourself"
"Me a monster?" I sweat in thought of if it was true.
"Never mind that anyways young lady, I'll just put you on another body"
At the flick of her fingers my body couldn't move, it disperses into little particles starting to my feet, I was scared and trembling in fear.
"Don't worry young lad you'll meet him again soon enough"
Elen disappears without a trace, the woman in black veil walks out of the faceless man, an oblong black hole appeared on front of her, a grin painted in her face, the tension between the two grew, the mana they possess were incredibly large the deathly chamber shaking.
"Well number 1 rank Spiritua, God of pestilence, God of Death, God of life, The God who brings order to all and the creator of one of the many races that walked through the worlds that the gods created, the god who was kind hearted, the god who let himself tortured by his own creation, the one who created the so called flood, tablets that rules over the souls of every human being, the angels that are free willed that 1/3 of them betrayed you because of one angel that had the courage and sold his pride for the throne" she paused " Now what are you going to do with her if I was not here Overlord of Order" she turned her gaze to the faceless man seeing his back, she sternly watches him.
"I was planning to resurrect her"
"I see, so you still-"sighs "Never mind I should go now Yaweh Take care and don't forget the stars will show the way"
