Many silhouettes filled a blank space above four orbs, three smaller circling the biggest one. The Planet and it's three moons floated there in front of all of them.

A single woman with long black hair stood in front of all the people. "Hello there children of Gaia. Who I am is unimportant at this time, in front of each of you is a screen. In this new world, we shall be giving you jobs classes with the option for several subclasses. These will determine what kinds of things you will enter your new world with." And with that she snapped her fingers and vanished.

Three figures appeared. Two seemingly human and one had a set of pristine white rabbit ears sitting atop his head with bright blue eyes. "Why hello there, my name is Chance, the Major God of Luck and these are two of my Minor Gods Wyn and Leif." He said then placing a hand on their heads ruffling their hair.

The two then closed their eyes and lifted their hands. A glow emanated from Chance's hands and into the crowns of the two below them. "Life Lottery." The rabbit man's eyes glowed brightly, a blue light filled the area, then receded.

That was how it started for all of them.

A tanned skin man with black hair with white speckled in and a set of blue grey eyes stood there looking at the job class options given to him. "Alright then. Hmmmm."

He scrolled down the list naming several jobs to himself as he went "Archer, Aristocrat...... Blacksmith.... Chef..... Farmer....Mage.... Merchant... Tamer. They... they have a Tamer class." And without thinking, his hand lifted up and clicked on the class.

A voice pinged out. "Congratulations  Tamer. The Life Lottery will now begin." With that 5 screens appeared in front of him.

They spun quickly and the glow of it was calming even with the excitement he was feeling.

Soon one of the reels stopped. 'High-Grade Monster Breeding Hut, and 4 monster eggs.' below those words, the image of a hut and a basket with four different colored eggs appeared.

*ding* "Subclass - Monster Breeder Unlocked." The words were monotoned.

"So things have grades here." He said pondering to himself as he eyed the next reel as it slowed.

The second reel then stopped. 'Mid-Grade Magic Grimoire and One Magic Ring.'

*Ding* "Subclass - Mage Unlocked."

"Another subclass" the man's eyes widened slightly. "Well I think that means I can use magic in this new world."

The third reel had stopped. The man looked up and saw a carriage appear with another ring. 'High Grade Merchants Cart and Storage Ring.'

*Ding* "Subclass - Merchant Unlocked"

The fourth reel stopped. The image of a tall stone building appeared. Around the image a light glowed, Dungeon Monolith.

*Ding* "Acquired, Dungeon Monolith. Congratulations."

The eyes of the man widened further than before. "What exactly is that?" He inquired to himself with no response.

Then the last reel stopped. The last image was a bright coin with squares etched onto it. And it too had a glow about it.

*Ding* "Acquired a Town Token. Congratulations."

Chance then lifted his hands off the two Minor Gods heads when the reels had stopped spinning. He smiled then with a flick up his wrist he said. "Self multiply."

As copies of himself appeared they jumped off and landed next to the figures, several moments later silhouettes slowly started vanishing.

A copy of Chance landed next to the man. "Greetings Child of Gaia."

The man nodded. "Uhh yeah, hey."

Chance smiled as he stood there, hands behind his back and spoke."Well. It's time for you to get going. To make things easier we are trying to place people close to ones they know. So if it's alright with you I'd like to rest my hand on your head and peek into your mind momentarily. If there's anybody specific you're hoping to be near please think of them."

The man kept silent and just nodded his head in agreement.

"Alright then." He then lifted his right hand and placed it gently down onto his head. "Good luck" Chance said with a big smile on his face, whiskers that were unseen from a distance twitched as he smiled.

This caused the man to smile as he too vanished from the space.

Chance turned to look at what the man had gotten from his spin. His eyes stopped at the glowing fourth reel. "Interesting, very interesting that one and the company he keeps." He looked around. That man was the last to leave. Soon all the slot screens lined up and he began to examine them.

All along it he spotted the glowing tiles. "All of those beings who didn't even receive one Godly Item and this boy got two of them. I think I'm going to keep an eye on him." Chance smirked as he looked at a few of the other tiles before snapping his fingers. All the tiles vanished from his sight.

The woman was still there. "You know not to directly interfere." She said giving him a blank stare.

A smirk appeared on Chance's lips. "This may be true but what that boy has goes hand and hand with my Divinity, Terra. I may not be able to but at the same kind I kind of can."

The woman remained stoic and gently removed a hair from in front of her face, sliding it behind her pointed ear. "Fine if that is the case, so be it. I doubt the Primordials will care." She smiled gently as Chance vanished from her sight.

"Welcome to my land Children of Gaia." Her voice carried over the image of her planet form.
