^^Aria before waking up ^^

"Damn you, Poe! To think I was cheated — you should never trust gods! " Aria thought as she stomped her feet in anger at the nonexistent floor.
The surroundings looked like the galaxy, truly beautiful. However she was too caught up in her tantrum to notice.
"Next time I see him—" Aria said while pumping a fist in the air, "He's gonna regret it!" She was so caught up in her anger that she didn't see the sudden beam of light directed at her.
Aria looked up just in time to see a blinding light. It went straight to her eyes.
"Ah it burns!" She thought while rolling around rubbing her eyes. The light — unaffected by her sorrows — started to burn more intensely.
Aria turned even more depressed. She ran away from the beam screaming, "You'll never take me alive!" The light just followed her wherever she went in the unending darkness. Holding her knees out of breath, she collapses.
The light quickly envelopes her and a lightning like sensation ran through her body.
"What the hell?!"

Somewhere in heaven
Gods, goddesses, minor gods, and minor goddesses are seated around a big white table watching what seems to be a little girl running away from a big light beam.
Poe is laughing so hard his face is turning red, he fell out of his chair and is now holding onto the goddess next to him for support. The said goddess can't contain her laughter as her shoulders shake uncontrollably and tears can be seen swimming in her eyes.
A warm atmosphere filled the room.
A goddess with long black hair and piercing cold blue eyes suddenly speaks out with a light smile painted on her lips, "This is our warrior?" Some laugh and others are a little shocked but smile nonetheless — Demetria hardly ever smiles of course it's a shock. "I give her my blessing."
The other gods seem a little surprised but they nod their heads in agreement. One after another the room was filled with "I give her my blessing."
And with that, a god with white hair directed the light onto Aria giving all their blessings.

Aria — who was passed out in the void — heard multiple "ding" sounds but was too depressed to do anything about it. "Ah, what if I died just now? Was that a test? I'm going to hell now, peace out..." while sulking in the void her eyes were suddenly filled with notifications, just like a game.
"AHH!" caught by surprise she went into a fighting stance and narrowed her eyes. She read the multiple texts in front of her.
You have the blessing of the goddess of winter, Demitria...
You have the blessing of the god of death, Gaige...
You have the blessing of the minor god of souls, Poe...
You have the blessing of ...
You have the...
...
Seeing as she passed the test, she was overjoyed. Then highly embarrassed thinking if they saw her struggle with that godforsaken light.
She shivered thinking of that demonic thing.
Seeing Poe's name she instantly welled up with rage thinking of their first encounter, I mean who tricks an assassin into saving a world!? Who!? Looks like she was out of practice, this proves to be a problem even in death!
Before she could think anymore about her new found enemy, a new notification popped up.
The minor god of reincarnation — Truck-san — is reincarnating you, do you accept?
Yes ⇢ No
Aria almost fell right then and there. "TRUCK-SAN!" she bursted into laughter. Aria was tempted to click "no" just to see what would happen, would she get hit by a truck? Aria snickered to herself, looking a bit intimidating to anyone who saw her.
In the end she clicked "yes". After a while she felt a burning sensation in her chest as the surroundings became brighter. Before completely passing out she muttered, "This again? Am I that weak!? These gods are gonna get it, mark these words!"
