After 3 days Zeek woke up with a mental clarity he was usually used to before the electrocution incident. There was someone in the room that he was laying in a bed in.
It was a man and he was looking at some papers on a writing pad.
"Helloo" Zeek called out to the person.
The man turned towards him and smiled slightly. Zeek found himself relaxing a little when the man smiled. It was as if the smile was so disarming that Zeek felt he knew the man for a long time instead of just meeting him now.
" Good. You are awake and just in time!"
The man moved towards the bed and stood by it as Zeek watched him curiously.
"You must be wanting to know who I am. I am Naradh or as people call me the Messenger. I am here to help you acclimatize with the what you are going to see here."
Zeek cleared his throat and asked " Where am I?? And acclimi what?? "
Naradh laughed lightly. "ACCLIMITISATION!!"
" And you are in the Reincarnation Space of your Galaxy. Since this is your first time here I have been instructed to help you through the process."
Zeek felt panic rising inside him. 'What did he mean by Reincarnation Space. Was he dead? If he was dead, then why did he feel so much alive?' Thoughts started swirling in his head. He remembered himself getting electrocuted, but he thought he was in a hospital of sorts. But this guy, was he suggesting he died?
"Ok.I know you must be confused. I will guide you through this. You don't need to worry so much. It's practically oozing out of you. You don't need to panic." Naradh said.
"Now now. Please sit up." The messenger instructed.
Zeek listened to what he said and slowly sat up in the bed. Naradh helped him into a comfortable position and adjusted the pillow behind Zeek's back.
"Am I dead?I don't understand." Zeek said with a cracked voice that was almost a whisper.
"Yes, you are. But not in an eternal death kind of way. You just passed on from your first life. And that too at a young age of 24." Naradh explained. He looked at the chart in his hand and said "Even though you died young on your first iteration of life, you had quite the interesting thoughts on life and yourself. That is why the OGs decided to extend a helping hand to you by bringing you to the Reincarnation Space before your, let's say next incarnation."
"OGs ??" Zeek crinkled his brows. 'Was this guy talking about gangsters in this place?'
"OGs. No they are not gangsters exactly though a part of them are gangster of this universe in a sense. And yes I have been authorised to listen to your thoughts while you stay here. Though I would prefer verbal conversation over that line of talk!!" Naradh exclaimed.
Zeek took in this new change and decided to go with the flow as everything happening here was already out of his wildest dreams.
"Now let's get to meet the OGs so we can get this over with as soon as possible. Come on. Get up. Chops chops." Naradh said as he started walking out.
Zeek followed him out of the room. As soon as he crossed out of the room behind Naradh. The surroundings suddenly changed to beautiful grassy plains and they were walking on a marble tiled path through it. Zeek looked behind him and the room and door they came out of was nowhere to be seen. It was properly trimmed grass all around and the marble path passed through it as long away as he could see.
They walked through the path at a gentle pace, with no destination in sight. As they went farther more branches of marble stoned paths were coming into vision.
He started seeing white glowing silhouttes of human shapes walking through the paths.
"They are people on their way to Reincarnation just like you." Naradh said without even turning to look at him.
As they walked farther the number of white silhouettes increased to such a large number that he couldn't even count them. Zeek also started seeing large colorful structures far away. The other people seemed to be walking towards them, but no matter how much he and the Messenger walked, the structures remained as far as they were in the beginning.
"OK. We are here" Naradh hinted to him. Zeek looked forward and found him before a structure so huge that he couldn't even see the top end of it. But somehow it felt so grand and beautiful against the sky filled with stars. He looked back at the structures he had seen earlier and they were still as far away as they had been earlier. But now he had a feeling that they were just like the one he was standing before and numbered in the millions at least.
Zeek followed the Messenger into the structure. And again his surroundings changed. Before him he saw three beings sitting calmly. They were just all encompassing shapes to him and seemed to have all the colours ever imaginable to them. Naradh turned to him and said " You have walked the cleansing path and I present to you the OGs!!! It's time for me to go. I hope I meet you again some other day."
After saying that the Messenger disappeared from the Space and Zeek was left standing before the three gigantic entities. He could not see their faces or anything at all about them. But he felt that one was a crafty and intelligent with the power of the whole multiverse defining him. He sat in the middle. Then there was the sagely, all knowing old man of sorts with four heads. He sat to the right. And to the left there was the entity who felt like a wrathful yet kind barbaric warrior. His power felt sharp and endless.
"WE ARE THE OGs or the Original Gods" said the entity in the middle.
"It's nice to meet you here young one. We will be the ones among the OGs to help you reincarnate again. We have watched you and your past life and are deeply pleased by your growth in your last life. We also take note of all your pain and sadness that you experienced and respect your deep wishes. As a result you have been summoned to this Reincarnation Space. According to all your thoughts and wishes in your past life we will help you to in having a chance at taking control of yourself and your actions in your next life. A Gift has been awarded to you and the only thing remaining is selecting the path you wish to take." Said the entity to the right.
"Say System in your mind child" said the entity to the right instructed Zeek.
Zeek was humbled by each word of the entities before hum. He felt they understood him to the core, more than anyone had prior to this meeting.
'System' Zeek intoned in his mind.
A blue screen appeared before his eyes at that moment
[Hello to the host. The System greets you master]
Zeek felt really happy. He really got his golden finger and that too a system.
" Child this is the gift that we are rewarding you with. It's time for you to reincarnate. Before that you have to choose the path of your system. Choose two each from the physical and mental paths available to you in the system window. Choose what suits you best and choose wisely " Said the middle entity.
As soon as he heard this thousands of words appeared before him on the system window.
Zeek carefully read through the words taking his time and he selected four of them.
[ Physical path- Fast twitch muscles]
[ Physical path- Fast regeneration]
[Mental path- Comprehension(growth)]
[Mental path- Knowledge(growth)]
[Path confirmed- Connection. System caliberated]
[All the best master]
There was a flash of bright light and Zeek disappeared from the Reincarnation Space.
The Original God trinity smiled
" We see you young one. What will you do now youngling?"
