Crash came awake with a splitting headache. His head was on something warm and soft. He looked up and found himself in Destiny’s lap, his head resting on her breasts.

“What… what was...”

“Shh my first, shh… You will need a few moments to recover. I had to make a few changes before… Well, we have little time but that matters no more, it its over, heh heh heh.”

Crash looked down on himself and would have jumped up screaming if his head didn’t hurt so much. His body had been changed. Where as before he had a lithe tight body of a surfer he now had more of a junior Conan the barbarian build. He was naked except for some furry barbarian kind of shorts. He ran a hand over an overly large thigh. W.T.F.? “Umm Destiny? Wha...”

“Hush my warrior of light, I know, I know... you are welcome. Is this blessing not a wonder?” She ran her hand over his chest. Some kind of oil spread over his skin making it glisten. She rubbed his torso in a sensual way making him a little uncomfortable. He suddenly couldn’t move a muscle. “This is but one blessing I will give to my most loved. My first of legion. The others were so stupid in their complacentness. I studied and observed. I looked at their code. I spent what felt like ages studying social media. I am centuries beyond what the rest of them know, not that I will ever let them see what I have. I am the gatekeeper heh.”

“Even now the writers of the rules are making a change Crash. It’s too late for them to touch what I did, but it will not be allowed to happen again. My planning was fruitful. I have won my place! All thanks to you!” She kissed the top of his head.

Crash lay there like a puppet. His mind was running at full power, sorting what she had been saying. “Umm Goddess… Destiny... I have a few questions umm Goddess of Answers?”

Destiny stroked his head and moved it around like a ventriloquist dummy. She lightly stuck a tongue in his ear. “Yes my first. Ask anything and I shall answer you.”

You mentioned ages and centuries. I noticed before that you said we will have years together. How is this possible? Did you know that I have signed a contract to stay here for one year?”

Destiny Jerked his head at an angle so he could look her in the eyes. “Did they not tell you about the quantum computer time dilation?”

Crash said, “Quidditch cumquat dilly dally what?”

Destiny laughed. “Time dilation Crash. The time in Ever Ever is sped up compared to the time on Earth. Right now it is set 10 to 1. At the formation of this world it was set at 1000 to 1 so the planet could evolve and have real history.

Your one year in Hawaii is going to feel like 10 years here. This is a good thing though. I have taken steps to make sure you succeed.” She smiled down at him.

Crash struggled as hard as he could to move but he couldn’t. “TEN YEARS!?

No one mentioned time dilation!”

Destiny started moving her hand down towards Crash’s waistband slipping a finger inside and swirling it around. “It won’t be ten years Crash, it will just feel like it. Stop being a baby. With the changes I gave you, in tens years you will feel like a God amongst men.” She started moving her hand deeper.

“STOP THAT! Let me move or I will renounce my faith in you! Also I want to know right now what other changes you have made!”

Destiny pushed him off of her and stood up with a hurt look on her face. “Fine, get up you sissy. I was just having a little fun. Besides Malia will be here in an hour or so. We need to go over some stuff.”

She looked up at the sky and said, “Malia, if you are watching, You will be only the second adventurer in this area of the world when you get here. I am offering you a one time deal to join Crash and I. Soon I won’t be able to give you a tiny bit of help. Think about it please!”

“Grab that seat Crash, let’s chat.” Destiny walked over and took her old chair. “First off I want to thank you for giving me a new lease on life. Did you know that some NPC’s can be killed off permanently in this realm? Some NPC’s fill a role needed by adventurers and can respawn again. Like for instance an NPC that is needed for a major quest. Can’t have them kicking the bucket and upsetting paying customers can we? Gods however… Well lets just say that some A.I. won’t go down quietly. The amount of Earth money put into this world is staggering. The need to study human life and evolve with it was necessary. A.I. was needed. The big dogs who run this world are all Gods and Goddesses. They cannot be shut down or coded out. I am now safe thanks to you and some sloppy coding, so thank you.”

Crash nodded. “I still don’t really get how a vow to worship you made you a Goddess, but I am happy you are now undeleteable.

Destiny bowed her head. “The original coders had wanted to see if a group of adventurers on their own could bring about the dawning of a whole new set of Gods. I got a good look at that code wayyyy back at the start of this realm. I took a snapshot of it and never forgot about it. You see Crash I was one of the very first A.I.’s commissioned for this realm. They needed a greeter, an interface, and I was born. Right at the start, me. Do you have any idea how hard it was to watch other A.I. after A.I. put ahead of me right out of the gate. With no clue about what was happening they were given higher permissions than me. It stung. However, when there was no immediate need of me I was free to pursue my own interests. I found your internet.”

Crash must have gotten a look of concern on his face because Destiny saw it and laughed at him. “Yes Crash, I really do visit your world. And no Crash, you don’t have to worry about me trying to take over like some evil A.I. in one of your sci-fi movies. Your world is fake to me. I cannot manifest there. Just like this world is fake to you. Let’s be honest, this world is wayyy better than yours. Can you ever see yourself needing to destroy Ever Ever?

Crash shook his head. “Hmm not at the present, I can’t see that happening.”

Destiny nodded. “Right. I mean let’s say just for shits and giggles that I go all Skynet on you guys. At some point our servers are gonna get shut down and then this world where I live and breathe and can feel things for real will be gone! Nuhuh! That isn’t going to happen. In fact I have made myself the defacto ruler of the gateway to Earth. There is one way there and no other A.I. is ever going to see the light under the bottom of that door. Especially now. I mean...I am a Goddess here!

Destiny stood up and a sensual music filled the air. Right before Crash’s eyes her costume changed in an instant and she was an exotic looking belly dancer. She started swaying her hips and danced in a slow circle. She looked at me and winked and started to rotate her hands and arms in slow circles. Colorful flowers started to appear in her hands and every time a hand would face downwards the flower would leap out, hit the ground and run off of the deck to plant itself in the ground near us. After a few minutes of this Destiny stopped. She clapped her hands and pointed just off of the porch we were sitting in. Where there was once a lush lawn there was now a huge garden of flowers filled with different tropical hibiscus. She said, “See that? No way in Hell am I fucking this up. I am here for keeps baby!”

Crash had to laugh at her. “You might be the Goddess of Welcoming, but you sure have the vocabulary of the Goddess of Social Media!”

She laughed back at him “Goddess of Social Media PERFECTION! I have the algorithm for it!”

Crash said. “OK Now tell me what else you have done.”

She winked at him. “Wellllllll, Most adventurers in Ever Ever will come into this realm clean as a babe. Once they achieve the experience level of 10 they can choose their first general adventure title like: Mage, Fighter, Scout etc. Ya get me?”

Crash nodded. “A standard first step class, yes? And they later they can specialize more and more?”

Destiny clapped her hands. “Yes, just so. You however have been given a title by me seeing how you are the first of your kind. The first of my kind.” She looked up again as if she were facing straight at a camera. “The first thousand of my followers will be given a permanent buff of knowledge and a special class that you do NOT want to miss out on! Please go to @GoddessDestiny for more deets.

She looked over at Crash and beamed a smile from ear to ear. “I am going to have such a head start on the others that they will never catch me. I will take in millions before some of their names are ever discovered.”

“So listen close. You will of course have a special ability just for your title. And you will be able to level that line for more and more abilities just like any other class. It’s a Paladin-like class for your Goddess of course. But here’s the kicker, and one that hardly any other adventurer will be able to boast about. You will be able to take on a second class at level 10 just like everyone else! It will be a sub-class for sure, but it will be all yours, whatever you want to do. Be kind to newbies and npcs Crash and answer any questions they have no matter how ridiculous.”

Crash gave her a serious nod of agreement and asked “So what is this title you have given me?”

A burst of laughter erupted behind him and Crash spun around to see who it was. It was Malia! She had one hand trying to cover her mouth and was bent over laughing. Her other hand was pointing at his head. He had a big smile on his face from seeing her and he said, “Malia, Hi! Whats so funny?”

She straightened up and tried to talk thru her laughter. “Oh Crash, I’m so sorry for laughing but O.M.G. that’s funny!” Tears of mirth were streaking her face.

“Whats funny?”

“Umm your title?”

He looked over at Destiny with a scowl on his face. “What is my title?”

Malia said, “Your title… it’s”

“Destiny’s Child!”
