In the Beginning C13 Another World

So, the "Spirit" I already possess has traits and behavior? Do I have to accept them? When did I hear about this in my previous life?

I inquired, "How can I accept it, then?"

"You'll be able to accept each trait of your 'Spirit' in certain circumstances or situations," the Word simply responded.

However, I remarked, "This only makes it even more complicated for me."

"I know this will be quite complicated for you. That's why I'll put you in a place where you'll learn how to accept your 'Spirit' inside you," the Word assured.

"Put me in a place—wait, what do you mean?" I asked aloud. The conversation had taken a different path than I expected. Weren't we just discussing my 'Spirit'? When did it come to this?

"Don't be afraid. I'll send your soul to a world where the gods of your realm have less influence," the Word explained.

"A world? My soul?" I freaked out, asking in fear, "Don't tell me my soul will go to another realm again, and then I'll reincarnate into a baby again, and my godly body in the Heavenly Realm will die!?"

Damn it! Don't tell me I'll become a babe again!? It was so troublesome to feel so helpless in a babe's body again! I don't like it! I thought a bit helplessly.

"Both right and wrong at the same time," the Word chuckled. "You'll indeed be sent to another realm, in the mortal realms. Your body in the Heavenly Realm will not die; it will be in a deep sleep."

Before I could say a word, the Word added, "Don't worry about turning into a baby again; your soul will be sent to the body of a person in that world."

"Sigh, thank goodness! Kind of had me worried, to be honest..." I sighed in relief, then exclaimed, "Hey, wait! Why do I have to be sent to another world? And put my body in the Heavenly Realm into deep sleep? Will my body really be alright? It's still up high and resting in the branch of the Chaos Tree..."

I asked these questions out of worry. Although my Mother is a goddess, I'm concerned she'll worry about me. Seeing her son in a coma is not a pleasant experience...

Well, she is a goddess after all, so maybe she won't worry too much, and sleeping for a long time in the Heavenly Realm should be kind of normal, right?

Since I'm still new to the Heavenly Realm, I haven't fully grasped its common sense yet.

As I pondered deeply, the Word responded.

"Don't worry. Although your body will be in deep sleep while your soul is away, nothing will happen to your body unless something happens to your soul."

The Word seemed to smile; I just felt him smile as I heard him add, "And you will be sent to another world for the purpose of understanding how to accept your 'Spirit,' remember?"

"So, you'll send my soul to another world to understand how to accept my Spirit?"

"That is correct..."

"I see—"

Before I could finish my sentence, I felt a force pulling at the very fabric of my existence, reality, and soul.

"Wait, where am I—?" I freaked out a bit as I sensed my existence, reality, and soul being stretched out...

"Have a good journey, Math."

That was the last thing I heard from the Word as I was forcefully taken somewhere...

Third Perspective.

In the metropolis city, in a seemingly deserted alley, an impossibly huge rat stood at a compact 4 feet tall on its hind legs, its body roughly the size of a house cat. However, its long, sinuous tail added another six feet, whipping back and forth like a barbed whip.

The long, sinuous tail of the huge rat kept hitting the man lying on the floor.

The man donned an impeccably tailored three-piece suit, exuding a sharp and modern cut with timeless elegance. A crisp white shirt and silk tie completed the ensemble, reflecting the unique taste of this well-dressed individual.

His closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing striking steel-blue eyes set deep under thick brows.

A strong jawline defined his angular face, accentuated by a clean shave, and a faint scar traced across his left cheek.

Thick, dark hair was haphazardly swept back, defying attempts at perfect order.

The man found himself under attack by the huge rat's long, sinuous tail. The man, who had just opened his eyes, appeared visibly shocked in front of the creature.

"Hahaha! The prey has awakened! Unbelievable! I thought you were already dead! Hahahaha..." The huge rat spoke with great malice and sinister looks in its red eyes. Its voice, terrifying yet deep, caught the man off guard, considering its size.

"Where did the Word send me to?" The man muttered to himself, feeling pain all over his body as the rat's tail continued its assault. He couldn't help but moan slightly...

'Damn it! I... I feel helpless... This is a mortal body, alright...' the man thought, desperately seeking help, hoping the Word could intervene in this dire situation.

Suddenly, the man sensed something, and then, much to the astonishment of the impossibly huge rat, the man's injuries healed at an impossible rate.

"Wait? What happened?" The huge rat halted its assault in shock and stared at the man who had just awakened, witnessing the miraculous healing of his injuries.

The man was taken aback, realizing a newfound lightness in his body.

Then, the Word spoke to his mind, "You have to seek your Spirit! Your Spirit traits are the seven heavenly traits... Be brave, humble, kind, or embody any of the seven heavenly traits, and you'll atleast able to master one of this traits..."

As soon as the man absorbed this in his mind, enlightenment flashed through his eyes...
