You have finally arrived Barry walker,
A voice said from behind
Barry turned around immediately,
Only to find a humanoid right in front of him,
It to was just like the the space around them
Are you the one i am supposed to defeat,
Barry said in a scarred tone.
The humanoid figure looked at him for while an said:
Be at ease Barry or should I say Gary smith
Barry was shocked by what the creature said an his mind was running wild
(How does he know that name an who is he.)
Worry not Barry you can say i am the one behind your reincarnation in this world and
I am a god of all gods in short you can say i am the universe.the god said
Barry was bewildered about this revelation and said:
Did you just read my mind just now.
Yep, the god said
Barry looked at the god with a dissatisfied gaze an said:
Creep
Nope i only did it because you were curious
The god retorted
Barry still looked at the with the same gaze an said:
Fine let's drop the small talk why aren't i taking the curse test and tell what you want use me for
The god responded with his own answer an said,you saw through me,i brought you here for a reason
An what is the reason,Barry asked with curiosity but inwardly it was different
(Hmp this is common knowledge,according to web novels gods are suppose to be this way)
The god sighed an said:
I am already sure that you know the history of this world,
about how the curse had fallen upon the world but the truth goes
like this,this thing started in the realm of the gods at first
we didn't know what caused but after two years of fighting with the
curse,me and the other gods discover that it was caused by the
emotions one feels during death and those emotions are
sadness
regret
anger
disapproval
Both gods and humans experience this feeling in the face of death.
Barry raised his hand an asked,if gods were fighting the curse what happened to them
The god paused for a moment and said, They died in the battle with the curse,so I was the only one left to fight but I can't defeat it alone so l...
Before the god could finish his sentence Barry cut him off
So you added humans to the fray.
Yes but that's not the end of it I created gifts from the artifacts
left by the other gods and conditions on the mobs (monsters)souls
So they can become pets,the god added.
The god paused for a moment and said:
Enough about curse,I what to know that will you agree
to become a god chosen by the universe .
Barry looked at the god and said:
Of course but let me ask you this what's the difference
between a god an a god chosen by the universe.
The god looked him in the eyes and a god is born with an ability
but a god chosen by the universe is when the universe personally
gives he/she an ability and that person will be considered the chosen one.
Barry sighed and the look at the god and said,are you gonna make me ask everything what's the catch surely this can't be for free.
The god looked at him with a proud smile an said:
you figured it out,the catch is that the universe can entrust
that person with responsibility of something .
Barry smiled brightly an asked,so this is what's happening to me
I clear the way for you so that you can take tha last shot.
The god responded with a nod.
An without hesitation Barry held his hand up for a hand shake
and said deal
The god looked at Barry who was smiling so brightly plus his
Childish like appearance made him to start glowing,
the god smiled to and took the hand shake deal.
Letting go of the God's hand Barry cleared his throat and asked,
what ability do you have for me.
Oh yes that I will be turning you into this world's grim reaper the god said but not stopping there, whatever you kill you will be take it's soul
but that's not the end you will gain the very being of that soul.
What does that mean, Barry asked.
Mr Walker I am afraid our meeting is over
The curse is calling.
Wait what does tha.. , before Barry could finish.
He started to feel like he was getting sucked In whirlpool
The space filled with stars disappeared.
And was greeted by darkness,as he was looking around
A pannel made out of stone appeared and said with gold lettered words
Welcome to round zero
