"Hero?, Like those Isekai anime that I have seen". Karl said as God provided him with some clean towels and a new fresh set of clothes. The clothes weren't anything special. Just a plain blue T-shirt and jeans with some sneakers.
Before Karl wouldn't have thought much of them, but now in the situation he was in it was a bliss to have any clothes at all. Even though he was talking towards a God who didn't have any shame or any kind of reaction towards seeing Karl naked, Karl still felt uncomfortable being naked around a grown man.
{Yes exactly like those.... Isekai?, What is that?, some kind of food from your world} God said with an expression which screamed 'interesting'.
"Aren't you some kind of God?, why are you oblivious to this kind of stuff". Karl said as he sat down in front of God on a wooden table which appeared out of thin air.
With a wave of his hand, delicious kind of food from Karl's world appeared before him. {You should eat to compensate for the energy you used to make your core. And I'm not some kind of God,I AM GOD}.
He emphasized that last part to make it clear to Karl what kind of being he was dealing with. Karl didn't care in the slightest as he was busy stuffing his face with all kinds of delicacies.
{And I'm only mostly limited to the knowledge of higher beings. I may be a God but I still don't know everything about the universe. I just atttained Godhood around 200 million years ago, compared to others I'm just but a child. }. He said as he too started feasting on the fast food which he had summoned.
{This is quite good, What do you call this}. He said as cheese was leaking his mouth. "I know right?, it's called a pizza and is one of the most delicious food on earth".
{Hmmmm, perhaps I should research your world a little. } After having their feasting session. All the food and the crubs left by eating all disappeared. with a Snap of his finger.
{Now with the issue on hand, you can't stay here because it's a neutral space. You can survive here for as long as you want but you will go insane by boredom. Isolation can make anyone go mad of it's long enough. And you can't go back to earth because both you and earth can't survive. Which only leave me the option of sending you towards a different world. }
It said as he cleaned his mouth with a handkerchief. Karl was wondering why he would summon a handkerchief instead of snapping himself clean. But he kept these thoughts to himself. How could a mortal understand what goes on inside a Gods head.
"And how are you going to do that?, are you going to make me a hero and send me to another world to fight some kind of demon lord and save it. " said Karl as he was now wondering if he could do the same things by just snapping his fingers.
{Quite close yet so far at the same time,yes,I can make you a hero and send you off to your dream adventure, but becoming a hero may have its perks but it has twice the problems. First,you have to watch out for everything you do and always think of others when you do it. Second,there is alot of politics involved in being a hero and maintaining peace. and so on and so forth ,you get my point}
{Plus you will not be fighting the demon lord, but the midieval dragon, a being who failed to ascend to Godhood and is now hell bent on destroying the world for failing him}
"Wowwww, do dragons exist in the world I'm about to go. " Karl who now had sparkling eyes was very curious about this world. It was every otakus dream to see a dragon give how significance they had in everything they read about it and they were almost the ones to be on the pinical of the food chain.
{Dragons, demons ,beasts, you name it well I guess this is your dream kind of world. You humans are so interesting, you who can't even beat a lower demon or a wyvern think you can survive in the vicinity of a high demon or a medieval dragon,you crack me up}. After saying those words it started laughing.
"Well unlike you,this is a dream come true for me. Even if I can't go near them now ,I will be able to some day,given your explanation,I just need to be strong enough"
{Oh, so you have chosen to become a HERO?, A noble cause for someone so ordinary but I respect it}. He said and witha wave of his hands suddenly two balls of light entered in Karl's chest.
"Wait!!, Hold on ,who said that I wanted to be a hero, like you said it's a hassle and I'm not a nice guy nor do I have the energy to do righteous left and right so put me in a place where I won't have any difficulty to raise my skills and I could live a nice life". Karl said as he was flabbergasted after seeing the two balls of light enter his chest.
..... Silence befalll upon the neutral space as both were looking at each other.After what felt like an eternity to Karl,God finally spoke.
{Well now this is a pridiciment, what I bestowed upon you , those 2 balls of lights were divinities. They were supposed to help you in your heroism. But now your telling me you don't want to be a hero?}. He said as if questioning Karl's life choices.
"Stop it!, I know what your doing ,your making me feel guilty now even though it was your fault entirely for not asking me and why don't you take them back?" Karl said in a furious tone.
{I would if I could but now they are infused with your soul, if I extract them it might damage your soul and you would have the risk of becoming a vegetable}. After hearing the explanation Karl went pale.
