"I am Idun, and I am here to offer you a contract."

Felix was suddenly pale.

Idun, the goddess before Felix, was now looking straight at him. She was still smiling softly at him but the atmosphere now was a bit intense. Her face was backed by an immaculate light from who knows where. There's also an imaginary wind blowing against the goddess's blond hair which makes it wave a lot. Her beauty at the same time intensified. Now, she is not a just a beautiful lady anymore, but rather a prim and proper dignified goddess.

Going back, Idun offered Felix a contact. It might be a bit weird since why does a goddess like her, whose glory was immortalized as myths in Felix's old world, want to do with a mortal like him, which made him a bit skeptical. He was so skeptical of this to the point that he thinks about just standing up and immediately run, however he knew he will be caught almost immediately. Contracts are a bit of a taboo to Felix. He was once scammed by his best friend, yes, his best friend, to invest a 'bit' of the inheritance that he got from his mom. Since he trusted his best friend for he was with him for at least 20 years of his life, he gave his bestfriend some of the money. Little did he know that a clause in the contract that was hiddenly placed ensures that the whole inheritance will be given to the bestfriend.... So he developed a trauma in signing contracts.

Now, back to the goddess. He was a bit skeptical on escaping this place because you see, the place he is right now seems to be the goddess's own domain. The same energy that is glowing on the goddess's face seems to be the same energy that is glowing from everywhere else. He knew all this but he will still choose to run, you see, Felix is a follower of the quote, 'better die trying, than die doing nothing'. He then gets ready to stand up and sprint away when suddenly the goddess correct her mistake.

"Fufufu, you look so cute trying to run eyy fufu.. but don't worry, I will not give you a contract, I know you have a bit of a trauma against contracts, so other than a contract, I will give you my, *Drum rolls* sponsorship! It's good right?!"

Felix was confused, but he was more confused on where the drum roll came from. How in the goddess's love did that happened. He looked around and he saw at the top of a branch in the huge apple tree, a dozen little birds with a marching drum strapped to their chest and with their tiny little wings clenching a stick each. He do not know how the birds have done it, but please don't ask. Safe to say he was flabbergasted. The goddess was laughing her lungs out due to how cute Felix looked trying to escape from the situation.

Felix was still a bit pale but was visibly relieved. He kept on thinking not to get angry on the goddess since... she is a goddess... who know what may happen to him on her whim.

"Don't think too badly of me, fufufu. I will not send you to hel on a whim. That's just not my thing, fufufu."

Felix was now fully relieved. He breathed hard in order to relief his nerves of the sudden tension. He was a bit glad since his goddess has a joking personality, which makes his dead life a bit more colorful.

"I'm not joking, though."

Felix was now again distressed. He was trying to keep a smile on because of his nervousness, when-

"Fufufu, you are cute, don't worry it really is just a joke. It really is not my thing to send people to hel, fufufu"

Felix was relieved again, but he still tenses his nerves since the goddess might do something unexpected. Truly, this goddess will be the death of him... no wait, he is already dead. Is there death for the deads? or can a dead person be dead? Food for thought.

"Fufufu, don't worry, you won't be dead for a while longer."

"What do you mean by that goddess?"

Goddess Idun, smiled softly at him.
