Just as I contemplated my next move, the translucent, glowing message panel suddenly materialized before me again. Unlike the previous one, the words displayed on it were intricately hand-written, imbued with an undeniable sense of presence and purpose. Through these words, I got an impression of a rakish and eccentric handsome who was waiting for interesting things to happen.
"Greetings, my new friend! I'm the God, but no need to be formal. You are lucky I meet you at your last monent and brought you here because, well, eternity gets dull for us immortal types. I'm in need of some entertainment and you in need of new life!
I know you've always fantasized about living in a magical realm full of beastmen. Consider this the answer to your dreams! I want us both to enjoy your time here. I only ask that you don't go looking for a way back home - let's just say bringing you here wasn't exactly above board for me. Your place is here now, for your sake as well as mine.
Now about your power, Possession. I admit I'm kind of obsessed with it, experience lives not my own is my favourite pastime and I know you will share that passion. Your predecessor had the similar gift - you're not the first chosen one so trust me I'm professional. And he is living a exciting and enticing jounery! I'm eager to see how you'll use it in clever new ways. Please, explore to your heart's content!
Go forth and craft your magical legacy! I'll be watching over, more as a curious observer than anything controlling. Let's make this life one for the history books. Your adventure awaits!"
So, this is my future? To be honest, it's not half as bad as I thought it would be. Perhaps deep down, I already knew that there was no turning back for me. While I do miss the comforts of modern technology and the people I know, exchanging them for reaching my impossible dream harmlessly is definitely worth it.
I smiled, my wolfish tail wagging happily. This world held such promise! If an eccentric god had summoned me here, who was I to resist adventure?
No sooner had I embraced this thought than another panel popped up with a cheerful, catchy tune - the familiar level-up sound from my favorite games! My ears perked up with excitement thrumming through my veins as the interface showed me how to upgrade my ability.
