1 Chapter 1 - Meeting Re (2/2)
”God! Of course!” She says while Michael takes a sip of his recently filled glass.
”*Spurt* GOD!? God is real and he created you?”
”Yes, by the way, this is the only time I have seen you surprised.” She says while wiping away the drink on her body.
”Well, yeah! Obviously I would be surprised that there is a god out there.”
”Why?”
”Let me give you an example. Bear with me please.” He says while taking a vial out of his pocket and turning his body so she can't see what he is doiIng. inside his cupped hands. He turns back around with his hands cupped together.
”Right now I have the cure for cancer inside my hands, it's a bug.”
”No you don't, there is nothing in your hands.”
”Yes there is, I have seen it and I can feel it crawling around my palms.” He says convincingly.
”But there Is nothing there.”
”How do you know? Have you seen what is inside my hands after I closed them?”
”No.” She answers feeling slightly confused.
”Do you know if no such bug exists in the world?”
”No, but you have no proof that the bug actually can cure cancer.” She says while smugly pointing at him.
”Yes I do.”
”What?”
”The other day my sister was confirmed to have cancer, after this bug bit her, the cancer went away. That is my proof.”
”Show me!”
”I'm sorry, the hospital the tests results were at had a fire and all of them burned with the building.”
”Wha, then how do you prove your claims?”
”You just have to take my word that there is a bug in between my hands and that it cured my sister of cancer!” He says while still holding his hands together.
”Well, I don't believe it!” She says and then realizes what he is talking about.
As he sees the realization dawn on her face Michael releases his two hands and shows her that there is in fact a bug inside his palms.
”You see? Without any physical results how can you disprove what anyone says? I have never seen god, none of his miracles that he speaks of. How am I supposed to believe in something that I'm not even sure is real? Sure, I can do the whole 'god is in all of us' spiel but that doesn't quite make him an omnipotent being, right?”
”I get your point, I guess it has been quite a while since he has shown the humans of earth anything substantial.” She says with a sigh.
”Anyway, enough about this, what is your real job?”
”Well, let me first explain The Whole point of that white area you were in. As you might have guessed, that place is a sort of limbo souls goto when they don't have a specified religion in their hearts. That area has 13 doors in it that when someone gets here, they walk until they reach one. Whatever door they reach is their fated destination of death. Now,12 of the doors have patterns. Can you guess what they are?”
After a few minutes Michael answers.
”Were they the doors to different heavens and hells?”
”Wow! I'm surprised you guessed it right! Yes those doors all lead to different heavens and different hells. all of them except mine.” She says with Pride.
”Ah! I get it now, your name is Re and you're in the bar called Carnation. You're the being that lets souls Reincarnate!”
”WHOA!!!! What a genius! You're pretty smart. Yes I am, and I'm going to let you reincarnate in whatever world you wish, Happy?” She yells with surprise and continues with a happy tone.
”I had a feeling that this was going on, so it can be any world, even fictional ones?”
”Yep!”
”Can any of you beings interfere with that world after I reincarnate?”
”Nope!”
”Then I choose to reincarnate into the fictional world of Hellsing.
”Hellsing, like the anime?”
”You know of it?” He says with surprise.
”Of course I do, if anyone lives as long as us, they would start getting bored easily.”
”When can it begin?”
”Let me look at how many Karma points you have before we begin.” She says as she brings up a clear screen that is floating in front of her face.
”Karma points?”
”Yep, there an easy way to measure what a person has done in their lifetime. Positive points equal good and negative points equal bad. Let's see how much Michael Smith has.”
”She says whiel pulling up a holographic screen showing a search engine box.”
After imputing the name, Re freezes and stays still like a statue for a few minutes.
”Re? Are you ok?” Michael asks worriedly.
”WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY!!!!!?!??!? What did you do to receive so much!?” She yells very loudly.
”Well, I'll tell you later. Anyway, does this give me any privileges?” Michael asks nonchalantly.
”Yeah, you can practically ask for anything you want with this many points.” She says with a resigned expression.
”Good, then I want to reincarnate as Seras Victoria a week before the vampire attacks Cheddar, where she is stationed. I also want all of her memories.”
”How specific, isn't she a woman and why not earlier?”
”Yes? I've already been a man in this life, I would like to know how it is as a woman. As for the when, it's because I don't want to wait that long before I get turned into a vampire by Alucard.”
”Anything else?”
”What else can I get?”
”Well, you haven't even asked for anything, so you still have practically all of your karma points. Would you like to see a list of what you can get?”
”Yes, that would be extremely helpful. Do I have a time limit on when to decide?”
”Nope! I like you so I'll let you stay as long as you'd like.” Re smile joyously as she fills his drink up for the third time.
”Awesome! I like spending time here with you, I feel like I can be myself completely. It's so liberating.” Michael says while he receives his own holographic screen displaying a gigantic list of things he can receive.
After days of scouring the near infinite list filled with things ranging from completely stupid powers like, changing hair colors, to OP powers, such as the Rinnegan from Naruto and the ability to make any devil fruit you can think from one piece.
”So, have you made your choice?” Re asks with a disappointed tone.
”Yeah, I want the Infinite Item Box, the ability to transport anywhere and anytime I choose, and I want the Omniscient Simulator.” He says confidently.
”Really? That's it? You have so many other points you can use.”
”Yep, it would be too boring to have more than that since I'll live forever. It would be way more fun that way.” He sighs as he takes a sip from another alcoholic Beverage Re made.
”Really? Well, it's not like I can say no. Ok, then I will send you in about 10 seconds.”
”By the way, do you know why I gave you that example about god?” He asks when the countdown begins.
”No?”
”I never wanted to prove that I didn't believe in god, I only wanted to prove that without any physical evidence, how do we prove that anything is real?”
”Why are you saying this now?” She asks with 4 seconds to go
”Because, that bug that was in my hands, is the bug that I used to develop the cure for cancer.” Michael says with a mischievous grin.
”What?” She says when the countdowns hits zero.
”See ya, Re. I hope you have more fun at this job” he says before he disappears from Re's view.
