"What if you could become a god." A voice said to me as I floated in A endless void. I being dulled from the ages I've spent in this void alone was startled I tried to respond with "anything to get out of here" but the ages of being alone left me only able to let out a few groans. As if it heard me it responded with "Are you confident you can be able to suffer the responsibility of being one". I would attempt to chuckle but once again it only came out as groans but I continued with a groaned response of "Did I not say anything to get out of here?". I would hear a chuckle in response and then "so be it" I pass out immediately after his sentence is finished. I wake up leaning on something I couldn't tell for my eyes haven't seen an ounce of light for ages. After A few minutes, my eyes were finally adjusted to the light I was leaning on a fountain with a statue of a woman in the center of it the woman's hair would be down to the center of her back. I then get up stumbling a bit but able to get onto my feet. I look around checking my surroundings I did not see anyone around but some buildings were built out of quartz at least I assumed it was finally when I fully turn around I see a man in a suit standing there looking at me "welcome back to the real world" the moment he spoke I knew it was the person who was talking to me. I am barely able to get out a sentence through my sore throat "th-thank you. Wh-what is your name?". The man would study me thoroughly from my shoeless feet to the rag lag like clothing I had that only covered the necessities and finally at the scar in an x like shape on my face and the ragged hair I had "well you are a sore sight lets get you some clothing. My name is Fertendal I am the god of flame and destruction" he started walking towards a nearby building. I followed behind him not knowing what to do other really as I asked "flame and destruction doesn't that make you A evil god but I don't mind since you saved me and everything from that place." He opens the door to the building beckoning me inside as he replied "gods are neither good nor evil it is simply how humans and other beings use our calling and for me, most beings use it for unwell intent so since that is I am perceived as evil however I am not" I walk into the building to be greeted with A tailor/armory that was much larger than what the building looked like from outside. Fertendal walks past me and starts talking to a man who looked like a Butler of sorts "Hello Stendal, my friend here needs some clothes if you don't mind possibly even armor if he wants it". Stendal nodded and walked up to me and examined me thoroughly before walking towards a door that leads to another room and entering it. "He's the god of service better not get on his bad side if you want to be able to continue here," Fertendal said to me I nodded in response. "So you said I would become a god right? Well what god am I and why is there A need for A new god?" I questioned. The man sighed as if he knew these questions would come "One yes you have become a god but your calling has yet to be found so you are currently just a really strong mortal both magically and physically. Two as stated in the previous answer you still need to find a position as a god to put it simply you will simply travel the mortal realm till you do. And three there is a war coming between the gods and the false god.". I would think for a moment before responding "you say false god as in singular why would a single god who isn't even a god be so dangerous?". Stendal would come out before Fertendal could respond. Stendal would hand me folded clothes before pointing to a door and saying "changing room" and walking back to where he was beforehand. I walked towards the door indicated and I opened it. Inside it was a long hallway with doors lining the hallway both open and closed I would go and enter the closest open door which was on the right-hand side and enters. I would change into the clothes Stendal gave me and looked in the mirror. The clothes Appearance would be a simple black cloak with the only thing of a particular notice being a symbol that was on the back that would be of a dragon. Feeling satisfied with the appearance I would leave the changing room heading back where I came from. I enter back into the main room where Fertendal and Stendal are waiting they appeared to be talking before I entered but once they noticed me. I didn't mind and asked, "how do I look?". Fertendal would answer with "good and your question about why the false god is so dangerous is currently unknown even to us gods. So the last thing we need to do is get you a weapon. What kinda weapon you like?". I would respond simply with "I don't like weapons I will use my bare hands along with magic although if you can get me some gloves that would be great.". Stendal would have already grabbed a pair of black leather gloves out of a drawer in front of them handing them to me I would take them and put them on. Fertendal would start to talk "Well now that that's settled I have a few things I need to tell you. One if you meet any dragon show them the symbol on the back of your cloak it should deter them from fighting you since they will know you are in good terms with me. Second don't die I don't want to be disappointed after taking all that time to bring you here. And with that it's time for you to go.". Before I could question where fertendal would push me and I would fall
