"Huh....? Wh-where am I?"

Greg opened his eyes, just to find himself lying on the ground. When he tried to push himself up he was suprised that he didn't feel any pain and he was as energetic as ever. After he got up he inspected his body and was shocked to see that there was no blood, no wound or knife on his body.

While he was watching his body he felt a strange sensation around him. He looked up and got flabbergasted about what he saw.

All around him were things that didn't even make sense. On his left there was a huge mountain, which wasn't made from stone, but instead water. In it there were nothing, not even a small fish. Just water..crystal clear blue water. On his left he saw fire and water coexist together at the same time. The water was fire and fire was water. For Greg it was a bit confusing because if he remembered right, if there was enough water then it can blow out the fire, but when the fire is too hot it will evaporate the water. But here it looked beautiful and eerie at the same time. It was a strange thing to look at.

After he looked away he saw other surprising things, like a waterfall that went upward, trees that were floating in nothing or a lava lake which surrounding was frozen all around. The strangest thing was that there was no animal or human expect of him.

"Boy...Did you woke up already? How do you feel?"

Suddenly a mysterious yet calm voice hit his ear behind his back. When he turned around he saw an old man in a white cloak looking at him. He wore his hoodie on his head but he could see his face without issue. The old man's face had bit of wrinkles all over his face. He had deep, ink black eyes and a long silverish-white beard. His hands were behind his back. What stood out for him that the old man was flying in the air without anything under his legs.

After he looked at the mysterious man, he bowed and asked.

"My apologies! But what is this place, why am I here and more importantly how did I survive? If I remember correct I was stabbed and I was one step in death's door."

"Hahaha! What an energetic young boy. I like your curiosity really. But don't be so impatient young one. I will tell you everything just in order."

After he said that he flew down in front of Greg and started to tell " First of all let me greet you! I welcome you here where everything and nothing exists at the same time. Here where you can find and see things that nowhere else can be found. This place is the beginning and the ending of all and this is the place where things born. And you, my son, you are my chosen one who I looked for."

Greg after hearing those things was given a shock and had a lot of questions, but only one simple question came out of his mouth.

"If I'm not being rude what is your name?" asked Gerg in a somewhat trembling voice.

"What is my name you ask? Well I don't really have a name because I'm everything and nothing and also I'm the creator and the destroyer at the same time. But if I'm correct, your kind named me for the first time like..... Elohim? So you can just call me like that."

"Okey, so Elohim, why am I here and what about that chosen one thing?"

"Well telling the truth I was watching you for a while now. I know everything about you. Your pain, your desire, your sadness and your personality. After you got stabbed I felt wronged and decided to ask you that if you want power or not. When you said yes almost instantly I knew that I made a right choice, so I brought you here. Oh and if you think about where is your earth just think about, that its around 2 billion light years away from here. But it's not like I can't take you back in a second." With a casual flick with his hand in the air Elohim continued.

"And back to the track, why I brought you here is because of one thing. Because you said you want power, so I want to give you two things. One will be from me and the other one will be your chose. But everything has a price, so if you want it you need to be prepared."

"Okay, first let me hear about these 'things' of yours and the price I need to pay."

"Hahaha, nice. You want information before you choose, wise indeed. Okay, so here it is. I can give you a power called enlightenment. Just to be more precise not only I'm alone a G.o.d out here who can make this. There are different kinds of G.o.ds with different enlightenment. We can give only one enlightenment to only one person. After we give the power the person we choose, the one with enlightenment can get another power called Authority. This one can be personally chosen. It's good to mention that it's better if you chiose an Authority, which can boost your enlightenment."

"So shortly there are different G.o.ds with different enlightenment which can be given chosen ones and there is also the so called Authority which I can choose personally?"

"Yeah, in a nutsh.e.l.l yes."

"And what about the price I need to pay if I want these powers?"

"Well there will be two big changes in your world if you accept my enlightenment. One, other G.o.ds will also choose people from your world, so more and more of your kind will get powers. This is not a big problem, but the second one. After you get yours there will be monsters or worse.. evil G.o.ds. They will come out of nowhere to destroy your world. But be at ease, evil G.o.ds are rare so don't worry. What you need to look out for are those monsters. If you are not careful you won't even know how you died. So? After listening what I said what is your choice?

"Can I think for a second?"

"Yes of course! You can think as much as you want. Here n.o.body can disturb us, so just go on."

"Thanks" After that Greg sat down and started to think.

He thought about everything. He thought about the coolness of the powers he may get and also the risks of them. If he accepts Elohims enlightenment, there will be others after a time with the same superhuman like powers and what is worst is that they may be a bad person. Also there is the chance that the world will turn upside down after the monsters starts to appear after another. But if he accepts it, he will have a huge head start ahead of everybody and could change the way the world is.

After almost half an hour of thinking Greg stood up.

"So what is your decision?" asked Elohim in the same calm yet mysterious voice.

"I thought about it for a while. I hope I wont regret it later, so I choose.....
