<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/doZMmSE.jpg)</div>Nethali couldn't help but show a tiny smile when Tetsuo's thoughts were projected so clearly in his mind. The moon was often a symbol of fertility and ocean and nightsky were often associated with romance and passion. As such, Lust was part of Sariel's portfolio.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"Hmmm...you really want to know?"</strong></span>She inquired in a slightly more sultry tone. It was subtle and it was unclear if she meant it for what would happen those fated to be swallowed by darkness or if it was a jab at his impure thoughts. Regardless, she then simple began to explain his proper question.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"The Darkness basically preys on those lost souls who fall to despair once they reach their end, full of regret of their choices in life and unable to come to terms with that. This usually means people who gave in to Sin. In your case, the biggest offence would have been Sloth, followed by Lust. What happens to them once they are in the Darkness depends really. Best case you get to wallow in your own despair for eternity. Worst case you end up sinking so deep the soul ends up in the lower planes where it will become the plaything of demons, to be tormented bartered with. A thing best not to be find out."</strong></span><br/><br/>The Goddess seemed to enjoy Tetsuo's inquisitive nature, taking her time to explain everything in full detail. Furthermore, she would answer any of his follow up questions, making sure he was fully aware of his situation and the true significance of what it meant to be given a second chance.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"Heaven is paradise, a place for the soul to relax, to recharge until you feel ready to Reincarnate. Some choose this option immediately while other spend choose to enjoy paradise until their soul looses all sense of self and naturally drift back in the cycle. To put it in terms you might be more familiar with. If you live you life to the fullest, you get to enjoy the post credit content and get the option to play again, while otherwise you get banned from ever playing again."</strong></span>She ended with a stern warning, making absolutely sure he was aware of his situation.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"And to be clear, there are no third chances"</strong></span><br/><br/>Once he got to work on planning out his next life, she watched him silently. From only observing him for a little bit, she could see all the wasted potential he had thrown away. He seemed to have a real knack for figuring out the complex statistics. Life as a recluse playing these video games now appeared to be paying off. Offcourse some options required further explaining and she was happy to provide.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"That is correct Child. The realm you'll be send to is named Yggdrasil. Oh and I assure you it is very real, although from your worlds perspective it might be considered a fantasy setting. It is a bristling world, rich in magic and home to many races. Humans, elves, dwarfs and many many more. Some get along, some don't. It is going to be a tough world where only the skilled and strong survive. So someone with your old lifestyle wouldn't last make it very far. "</strong></span>Sariel explained giving him a quick overlay of the world he would soon be joining.<br/><br/>Then finally, the one question she had been expecting came. It was the one every second chancer eventually would stumble upon and ask. The Goddess Blessing.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>"That one is to be filled in as last. When you are done filling in your sheet and ready to head out to your new life, I will grand you a final boon, a unique gift not chosen by the mind but by the heart, reflecting your most deepest desire from your previous life."</strong></span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
