The Reapers choice

*First POV*

Afterlife.

It's what some people believe in. As the word says it's the continuation of life after the death of someone.in the living. In each religion of the world there is a somewhat depiction of what is in the afterlife. The most known is in the religion of Christianity, they believe there is an afterlife between going to the heavens where God and angels reside, or hell where the devil resides

They also believe that people who sin will go to hell and suffer for the rest of eternity. Though I have never been a believer in Christianity or any type of religion. I still held onto a belief which was that there should be some what God or being that should keep the balance of life and death.

Though... Right now I don't know what happened to me when death came to me. For me I only see a void in which I was floating in for a while after I died. I don't even though how long despite knowing I have been in here.

Open your eyes my child

I heard a gruff voice resonate around me. I followed what the voice told me even though I thought my eyes were open. My eyes slowly opened. Everything was blurry before it started to straighten out. I looked around and found a somewhat depiction of a god. Though even words can't even describe the figure I see.

I opened my mouth to speak but the words I wanted to say were silenced.

My child don't speak. I shall answer some of the questions you have

Yes, I'm a god. I'm m not part of any of the religions that you have back on your world, though some of them want me to join their factions/religion. My name is Athenodora, God or embodiment of war, engineering, knowledge but you can call me Athen. And yes, your dead which is why your here which it's also obvious. Now speak my child.

It took a while after all the information that Athen said to me. As soon as he said that I could speak, I immediately went to the chase.

"What the hell do you want? Even though your explanation was all over the place, but even a dumbass would know that why would a god talk to a measley mortal? Also when trying to act like a god, could you at least hide the greed that shows in your eyes. Spoke Strat.

Ha-ha-ha, you're perceptive aren't you. Well I can't hide anymore

Even though I was just a blue soul with no physical body floating with the particles in this dimension, even I can tell that the area was changing into a distorted hell hole.

I witnessed Athen sprouting 6 pairs of pitch black wings with hints of blood red spreaded throughout each feather. His body resembled the depicitons of Samael or Lucifer. The aura that surrounded him felt like hell was calling me to come back. His face still undescribable but his eyes were colored the same as the void I was in.

As you know I'm Athenodora but I have another alias that I'm not known for which is Messorem, The Father of Reapers. I'm one of the death gods that help with reincarnation, guiding souls to their place of religion like Christianity, and finally i'm also a reaper that slays gods in any factions with the right price. I've been wanting to send a soul back in time and bestow them with my titles and power to see what would happen.

Your soul seem to be similar to mine but it reminds me of two god slayers from the past Savannah and David.... Forget what I said last but let's continue. You've been chosen to be sent back with my powers and titles to help kill the people who have souls with systems. Here are the things I'll let you have before I send you back.

1. You get one wish for any power that you wish

2. You get to create your body since you don't have one

3. You get to have four weapons or two cybernetics (because your from the period of peak technology) of your choice from my armoury

That's all I'll be able to do for you since I'm limited on what I can do. Depending on what power you ask, I might put a limit on it. Now tell me, what do you wish for your power?

I thought for a minute before answering.

" I want the power to create anything like weapons, vehicles, and cybernetics." I answered

That power you chose will have to be limited. The first limitation is that you have to find the materials yourself, for example want to build a god slaying cybernetic or weapon first you need to get adamantium, and god slaying element and then combine them before creating it what you want.

Another limitation is that you'll only be able to create something up to four times before it'll have to cool down for a out a week. Now let's get yourself a body that you'll create.

A white screen showed up in front of me. It showed a diagram of a body that I could change like my gender which I eagerly chose male. No man would want their own dick to disappear out of thin air. It also had skin color, eye color, tattoos, hair color, height, and "size" customization.

I tried my best to make identical to my old body. Once I was finished, I clicked confirm before the screen disappeared. As soon as it disappeared my body was enveloped by darkness. Once the the darkness around me dispersed I was in my body that I created. I stretched as if I just woke up.

All right follow me to my armoury to get a weapon

Athen walked over to a door that appeared in front of him and opened it. He gestured me to walk over so I did. Once I was over there we walked in. I was surprised on how many weapons he had. It was filled with scythes, swords, spears, and many other things including cybernetics. Each one had a name tag, there were three swords and a spear that interested me which were called-

Ah so that's what you want right? I mean who wouldn't want the weapons that King Arthur once wielded, Excalibur, or the supposed opposite, Caliburn, or the sword that St. George once wielded to slay a dragon, Ascalon, or the original spear that Scáthach used, Gáe blog. But even you want all of them, they themselves have to choose their owners to wield them. But you can try though the era I'll send you in don't use weapons like those anymore.

"I might as well try to have them. Though I have one question, how do they choose their owners?" I questioned.

I quite enjoy your enthusiasm but to answer your question you have to beat the original owners hologram before the weapons acknowledge you as the new owner. Though if you really want them I'll give you a sub space for them to stay before you beat each hologram.

"Thank you Athen. Right now I'll try my best to beat one of them before you send me back. Is that alright?" I said.

Alright but choose one to attempt because I don't have much time left before I send you back to a time I choose.

I thought for a bit before I went with the decision of.....
