'I.... Where am I?..'

I open my eyes trying to remember where and who I was. I remember my life like a third person. Like I was watching someone else's. Where the hell is this? I try to turn around, but I find I am unable to. It felt like a void. No gravity, No light, nothing.

'You are in the purgatory.'

A voice whispered in my head.

'Who are you? Where am I? How did i get here?' I asked, fear lacing my thoughts.

'You may call me whatever you feel like, Osiris, Hades, Pluto, Yama... I am many things, but primarily, I am a concept formed from the believes of people. A god. Not God, with a capital G. The big guy doesn't act on anything except his own loving creations providing him his amusement with our antics... sorry I got side tracked. Anyway, you may call me Izanami. That is what you will be calling me for the foreseeable future.

As for your second and third question, you can guess the answer from my names... You died.'

'I dont remember dying' I say flatly.

'Of course not. Nobody likes to see themselves dying. Not normal people at least. I am not cruel enough to let you keep that memory' he... or she...- I decided to go with a she- replied.

'So what am I doing here?' I asked.

'Well... you are here cause I can't decide where to put you. Heaven or hell?'

'But... I donated millions to poor people and children's' funds!!' I replied incredulously. Even though I was a shut in otaku, i made my own online company, which eventually became a large-scale corporation with its own CEO and all. I just sat at home and spent my time relaxingly watching movies and animes.

'Maybe you helped the poor, but the company you made still destroyed middle and upper-class families on its way to success. After all someone's loss is another ones profit. Besides, I do not differentiate by poor or rich. They are all humans in my eyes. It is because you helped the poor that you are here. Else you would be in hell..'

 I sigh'... to think that my afterthought to spend all my money on donation still only saved me from my hell. good thing i didnt marry. else i wouldnt have had that afterthought' I think to myself.

'Yeah you're right. You can thank that girl that broke your heart so much that you got scared to marry or love another one. Maybe i should upgrade her to heaven. After all, she indirectly made you donate...'

'Hey!! You can't do that!!'

'I'm a god. I can do whatever I want, mind you. But, just kidding'

'So what am I gonna do now? Stay in the purgatory forever?'

'Umm no.. The purgatory is actually a resting station until your next reincarnation. I was thinking about which world to send you into. I finally decided to send you into the world that little girl Kaguya decided to nest in.'

'Kaguya?'

'Yeah Otsutsuki Kaguya. She is one of the descendant of my ex. Kinda like a demigod. Man, the Otsutsuki bunch are the worst. Always trying to get power and to shove it in my face. Like they can beat a true god. Humph. I wonder what got into Izanagi when he decided to sire them. Mind you, they are one of the reason he is my ex. Don't believe anything he says, okay. He just compared me to another goddess and said I was not as beautiful as her and trapped me in the underworld and said to everyone that the underworld made me ugly. Then he went on to increase the population exponentially to back his claim.. I am telling you, the population explosion is totally his fault.... I got side tracked again didn't i?'
