"Ohh so you are finally here, what took you so long, come sit, want some tea? Not to brag but i got best tea on the whole world, or wait if i remember you are wine lover, never mind i have wine as well, want some? Why are you standing there like an idiot, come and have a seat!"
"Who are you, where am i, i just died so this should be hell, so you are devil?"
"What!? How can that bastard be as good looking as i am!" Answered that man that was looking like he was mid thirties, dressed in white with short black hair and grin on his face. In fact that whole room was decorated in white, chair, table, flooring, walls, only plants around were green.
"G-g-god?"
"Well yes, you can call me that and you wouldn't be wrong, or you could call me Allah, Nirvana, Pangu, whatever that's all the same..."
"But i thought you would look... Well different..."
"If you say Morgan Freeman im gonna smack you in the face i swear."
"No, no, no, definitely not Morgan Freeman!"
"Why because im not black? That's racist you know..."
"No, i didn't mean that, i just..."
"Ohh relax already, im messing with you, you are so stiff, hahaha, get it? Stiff because you are dead! Hahahaha!"
"Okay..."
"Ohh come on, do you even have a sense of humor at all? Come and sit, drink with me, let's talk a bit."
He walked couple of steps and sat on a wooden chair in front of him. In front of him on the table was a glass of wine, smell of that wine was totally breathtaking, he just couldn't resist it so he grabbed that glass and downed that wine in one mouthful.
"I told you i have best wine on this world." Said grinning god across the table.

"Now where were we, ohh yes i wanted to talk with you a bit before you go, you see it's quite boring up here so i spend a lot of time watching you guys down there, from time to time theres a person or two that grab my interest a bit, and you are one of those persons. You see, by heavenly law killing is a big no-no, and you did quite a lot of that, but that's not the point, you see, you mortals created something called art, or well just named everything that looks or sounds beautiful, art, and what interested me in you was that you made your every kill an art, every stroke of your sword was like a stroke of a paint brush of an master artist, every bullet you fired was like an heavenly hymn, you made death look beautiful, and i admire you for that so because of that i have a proposition for you."
"What kind of proposition?" He stared at god dumbfounded.
"Well you are a mercenary, an assassin, you get payed for your work, so what if i hired you for something?"
"Wait what?! Hire me, but you are a god why would you hire me?"
"Well it's not really hire, it's more like a bet, yes that's it, let's have a bet!"
"A bet? What kind of bet?"
"It's simple, you lose you spend your eternity with that brat downstairs boiling in one of his cauldrons or something like that..."
"And if i win?"
"I grant you a wish, any wish you want, well except you replacing me, you can have anything you want, hows that, interested?"
"Well... Yes, but what is the bet about?"
"It's simple, i send you to another world, i noticed you like games a lot and even consider your whole life a game, so it will be a world of game, win that game and you win the bet, lose and... Well you won't have to worry about company for the rest of your eternity!" Big grin was covering gods face as he said that.

"What kind of a game?"
"Let's see, i think you call it Survival RPG? Isn't it, yes you go you do what you do best and that is killing and you level up and beat the game, it can't be any more simple than that!"
"And how do i beat the game?"
"Well that's for you to figure out there, don't worry you will have company there, there are already some survivors there trying to, well survive and beat the game, interested?"
"And what if i refuse this bet?"
"Simple, we skip this bet and i send you to that brat to roast a bit until you suffer enough for your sins, which if i may say are a lot, then either disappear or reincarnate, depends how well you manage with heat, so what's your answer?"
"I... Can i think about it?"
"Of course you can, ill send you to that brat and you can think for however long you want!"
"Can i think about it without being roasted?"
"Nope!"
"Then i accept your bet..."
"As i knew you would, so any questions?"
"What happens when i arrive to that world you spoke of?"
"Well considering you are not reincarnating into that world like rest of the people, you will keep your memories, even that law of darkness that you managed to study, which is impressive considering the amount of people who actualy have a clue about universal laws, but you won't keep your strength, you will have a new body there and you can keep that half of soul you have right now, but you can pick your appearance if you wish?"
"Wait, half of soul? How come i have half of soul?"
"Ohh that, well when you love somebody you gift them with half of your soul, your problem is that you did love that girl, but she never really loved you, so you didn't get half of her soul in return. Sorry buddy bad news for you..."
"I see, so she never loved me..."
"Well, she did, it's just that she never loved you with all her hearth, she loved that paper and gold more than you."
"If i win this bet, can you return me to where i first met her and make her love me more than money?"
"Well that's against the rules, but considering it's a bet yes i could, but are you sure you want that for your wish?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, but i will wait until bet is over, you might change your mind on the way, it would be a waste if it was like that. So, ready to go?"
"Wait, will there be a problem with my half soul there?"
"Well it might be, if you decide to learn some soul magic or something you might suck at it because you have half soul, you know what, ill gift you with something in return so don't worry about it, any more questions?"
"Can i have some more wine before i go?"
"Nope, see you later, bye!"
Swoosh!
With a wave of a hand he disappeared from sight, god kept sitting there grinning foolishly.
"Ohh this will be fun, i have to watch this!"

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
