《The Gods' Chosen Few》Gods' Chosen Few: Chapter 4 Not What I Expected from the Goddess of Death
Advertisement
After the bright light faded Logan began to look around in a panic. “Where is everybody” he thought. “And why the hell is it so dark” “Hello can anyone hear me?” Nothing. “Ok so what was he dead again I mean he couldn’t really remember the last times he technically died so was this what it was like or was this something else”. As he finished that thought he felt something moving towards him in the darkness.
For anyone who has had their pet dog run towards them as they get home late at night and you can’t see anything you’ve got that one second of fear like “Oh god what’s coming at oh right hey buddy”. It was a lot like that only a million times worse since he couldn’t see anything so he couldn’t tell which direction it was coming from. Only that he’d just gotten the attention of something he wasn’t sure was good to notice you. After what felt like years of waiting he heard a voice. A loud grating voice that sent shivers down his spine.
“WHO DARES ENTER MY REALM” Logan unsure of what to say just says the first thing that comes to mind. “Oh sorry wasn’t trying to break in or anything. I just saw this big flash of light surround my family and I but now they’re gone and I’m here sooooo yeah…….” It’s quiet for a good thirty seconds before he hears a soothing beautiful woman’s voice.
“Oh no is it that time already I’m so sorry I didn’t realize you were coming. What you must think of me. Being brought here against your will by me and then me shouting at you I’m sorry please forgive me.” He’s surprised by the gentleness of the voice and is trying to look for the owner but it’s still complete darkness around him.
“I don’t really mind as long as my family is ok and maybe turn a light on so I can see you and talk to you.”-Logan “Oh no I’m sorry I’ve just been stuck here since my temples were desecrated and followers killed that I don’t get much “outside” time.” Then the world turns bright Logan has to protect his eyes with his hand as he waits for his eyes to adjust.
In front of him is a gorgeous lady with snow white hair that goes down to the middle of her back with blood red eyes and in a sexy black dress. He gulps and wonders how someone that looks like that can sound so unsure of themselves. She glances at him with a slight blush to her cheeks. “Um I’m not used to guests so I don’t know if this” so motions to herself “is acceptable or if you’d prefer something else.”

Logan forgetting himself because he can’t form a rational thought while staring at her finally breaks out of the trance’s he’s in to answer her. “Ah sorry um no you look great really. Sorry though I might not be able to stop staring.” She blushes when she hears him. And then a couch appears behind her as she sits down. “Come sit we have much to discuss.”
She pats the couch lightly. Logan makes his way over and sits next to her. “So what should we talk about first. I guess I should apologize one more time since I was the one that brought you here and still yelled at you. But it’s only because someone else had broken in three times the same way you did when I summoned you about two and a half years ago.
They didn’t stay long and I erased their memories but I can’t believe they managed to get in here and the third time I was even showering.” She starts to pout and look at him with puppy dog eyes looking for affection. He laughs nervously “Yeah I guess I should apologize then because that may have been me” He looks away as he says it because he doesn’t want whatever this woman is to be mad at him but lying probably won’t save him might as well bite the bullet.
As he turns back to face her she is blushing a little more than earlier and coughs twice. “Well I guess if it was you then that’s fine and I took your memories so no harm done right”. “Eh yeah I guess so uh what else did you want to talk about and if I can ask a question.” She perks up and the blush seems to go away a bit “of course please ask away”. “Ok just two questions then. First and most importantly is my family ok? Second and this is just a small thing really what are you exactly?”
She looks at him and beams a smile “Of course they’re fine they were summoned just like you. Although I don’t know if anyone else explained anything to them before they made it to Luetania. And as for me well I’m Nyx it’s nice to officially meet you I’m your goddess.” Dead silence “Err hello are you ok did I say something strange?
Please don’t think I’m weird I just haven’t had a conversation in a while so I might be a little rusty.” A minute longer of silence “No ah you’re doing just fine with the conversation you just kind of lost me for a sec what did you mean when you said you’re my goddess?” She looks a little confused and tilts her head to the side “well silly that means you’re my champion and I’m your goddess.

You go out into the world and do great things in my name and in return I give you specials powers and abilities no one else can have. Oh and also we can talk anytime you want it gets so lonely over here by myself.” “Hmmm ok I guess I’ve got it but uh what kind of goddess are you?” She frowns and looks away quickly like she’s scared of Logan. “Death and darkness” she says almost in a whisper.
“What was that you’re the goddess of Death and Darkness?” he asks with a hint of fear in his voice. She begins to shake and keeps facing away. He starts to hear sniffling and grabs her shoulder and pullers her to face him. There in front of him is a goddess crying. Instantly his mind starts to freak out
“Crap what did I do I’m sorry ok no crying oh god what do I do?” He then puts his hand out and starts to pet her on the head. She’s seemed to calm down a small amount hardly even a bit but it’s noticeable. “Why are you crying?” She looks at him strangely “every time ...hic… I tell someone ….sob…. what kind of goddess I am the all just run off.”
She says angrily and slams her hands on the couch. Logan keeps petting her and then after mustering what is probably all the courage he has he hugs her half expecting her to kill him or something. She continues to cry but it slow eventually and then she hugs him back. After a few minutes goes bye she says “ok I think I’m alright now and thank you” He lets her go and her face is still red and eyes a little puffy but still beautiful. “Ok what else is there to tell me” he says. She looks at him again like he’s a strange machine she can’t fathom how it works. “You mean you are ok with being the champion of Death and Darkness?”
He shrugs “Well yeah I mean I’ve died three times and all that so not really a stranger to it err you and you seem nice so I don’t seem the harm in going along with this as long as it takes me to my family.” She hops up off the couch and starts spinning. “Yay wow I can’t believe it someone is actually going to help me clear my name.” She does a few twirls then stops to look at her arm as if there was a watch there. “Darn we ran out of time. Ok I guess it’s time for you to go I can’t give you much other than my blessing and this” She touches his head and he feels as if something is working its way into his brain. It didn’t hurt it just felt so damn weird. “That will let you talk to me anytime day or night.”
“Thank you. One last question before I go wait no two two more. One what did you mean clear your name? Lastly how am I going to learn how to use the powers you gave me?” “Oh that right well about nine centuries ago my follows went off the deep end and start rampaging and killing everything in sight all in my name. I didn’t ask them too in fact I tried to stop them but they wouldn’t listen.
So as “punishment” I was locked away from the other gods my family until it’s fixed. And now it’s gotten so bad all the gods had to choose a champion to help fight them off. I’ve been trying to summon a champion for so long to help me but I couldn’t find any one suitable and willing until you.” She starts to walk towards him “and as for my gifts to you well you’ll learn best by doing” as she says that she pushes him. Logan teeters and falls towards the couch which disappears and he falls through the white floor. As he’s falling and about to pass out from weirdness overload he hears Nyx. “Remember you can call anytime. I look forward to what changes you’ll bring this world”

I Became a [Biologist] in a Fantasy World!
I loved Biology - always have, and always will. Unfortunately for me, years of fruitless research whittled away what little joy I had left in what I did. Escapism came in the form of reading isekai works, where the stresses of real life seemed so far away.Luckily, I was summoned to a fantasy world of magic, dragons, and other mythical beasts. I didn't even need to deal with the Demon Lord threat, since it seemed that my summoning was a mistake, and all they needed was the Hero who was coincidentally summoned together with me! There was no revenge subplot, no hidden trap directed against me, and they even paid me compensation for their mistake. At long last, I could finally do what I ever wanted to do - experiment for the fun of it!With my new class as a [Biologist], none of this fantasy world's mysteries will be left untouched. Even if the Demon Lord himself comes knocking, nothing will stop me from researching every nook and cranny there is to discover of the magical biology of this world! ----I write extremely casually, and purely for leisure. Updates will likely be irregular, depending on when inspiration strikes and whether I can spare the time to work on this. Don't expect too much out of this, and certainly not anything close to professional quality! Inspired by an overconsumption of Japanese light novels, manga, and anime... expect their influence to slowly but surely take hold.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.

How she reached from Kaliyug to Dwapar yug and why? Many more things are running through her mind and all she got from the mortal disguise of Lord Narayan, Krishna is, "Tum etihas ka hissa nahi balki etihas rachne aayi ho. Apni vaggya ka racaita tum khud ho. " (You're not part of the history. Rather you have come to create the history. You're the writer of your own destiny.) *********** Familiar with the Mahabharat? Don't worry if you're not. I've added a short description of the original Mahabharat plot in the book for those. This story will follow the original mahabharat storyline but in a vastly different way with a lot of twists and events in my style. 😉 I'm aware Mahabharat holds religious sentiments for some and I do not INTEND to offend anyone. This is for entertainment purpose only. So don't get serious or offended please. And I apologise in advance if you feel hurt by any content of the book.
