It is said that there are gods in various places and for things around us.
Mountains, Sea, Land, Water, Fire, and other various things. I even heard there's a God of toilets from one of my colleagues.
Everyone knows of an existence called God, but nobody has seen or encountered it. Only worshipped, never knowing if they actually exist.
But I for one had been given the chance to not only see one but to talk to one as well.
------------
My name is (Think of whatever name you want for the Mc). I'm 35 years old, single, no girlfriend and working a job that barely pays for my rent and bills.
I really love to sleep. During my off days if I could sleep for the entire day I would. During the few hours that I'm awake though, I would usually read manga or watch anime and superhero movies, sometimes both.
But I guess Lady Sleep doesn't feel the same way that I do. Because guess what? I apparently died during my sleep.
How do I know that I'm dead? Well maybe because I'm standing in a white room looking at a giant that looks like Chris Hemsworth with the long hair and is currently sitting in what I can only describe as a glowing white throne. So either I'm dreaming, I died and am now standing in front a God, or I got abducted by an alien.
God: "Are you done with the monologue yet? or do you need more time?"
Not knowing what to say he just asked the first question that popped in his head "Am I dead?"
God: "Yes. And I will give you a chance to live another life."
Surprised at what he heard God said. He asked "Why pick me?"
God: "That's because it wasn't your time yet. You were supposed to die while stopping a mugging that would have killed 2 young couple and their unborn baby. Instead, you died of heart failure. So the other Gods abandoned you and deemed you as "a useless and worthless soul" and left you to rot. I took your soul because I want you to do your best to entertain me. Then maybe you'll finally be of some use. Maybe."
Mc: "what's gonna happen to the couple? Are they gonna die too? Also why do you want me to entertain you? You're a God right? Can't you just find someone more enjoyable to watch?"
God: "You need not worry about them, someone else replaced you. Someone more worthy. And as much as I want to find a more suitable being I don't have that kind of ability. Plus the other Gods wouldn't allow me to."
Mc: "Ok... One last question. Why the hell do you look like Chris Hemsworth?"
God: "I only base my appearance on what you think a God would look like. And when you think of God, you think of Thor and when you think of Thor, you think of him. Hence I appeared as him."
Scratching his head at that idea he asked God "Ok.... So what do you want me to do to entertain you? Act like a monkey? Be your Jester? or are you gonna force me to fight whoever you want?"
God: "Hmm.... I guess it's all of the above. I will send your soul to another world. In one of those 'animes' that you like so much. And not to worry I will give you your own system."
Mc: "Ok... But can I at least choose which world I'll go to?"
God: "No. And it is also time for you to go. I don't want the other Gods to see me talking to what they define as 'trash'. That's just embarrassing. Oh and make sure you entertain me otherwise I'll throw you in what you mortals call hell."
Before he could even complain about being called trash, a massive gaping hole opened up and swallowed him whole.
