After what must have been half an hour of explaining to the goddess in great detail what anime and especially isekai was we finally got on with my reincarnation process.

"Mortal Cyrus, why is it that you want to get into such a world?" The goddess asked me.

"I'm something of a weeb," I told her.

I saw her nod but I'm not sure if I explained to her what one was.

"Is there also something with RPG mechanics?"

"I am sorry but I also do not know what Arrpeegees are."

I spend another half an hour telling the goddess everything I knew about RPGs

And then she thought a bit, "I might already have just such a world for you."

I almost cried in joy.

Ainz-sama, Rimuru-sama, Subaru-sama, Tanya-sama, that guy from shield hero,

I will make you proud.

But fuck that guy who killed me.

At least it wasn’t Truck-kun.

"So, what's the deal? Am I gonna get a cool ability from you? OR will I reset to a moment in the past when I die? Or be overpower or something?"

"Eh, no. You will just live your life until you die."

"Seriously? You can't be. What if I die again when I'm eighteen or even younger?"

"Do not fret. I will have someone watch over you for your whole life. And she will make sure that you at least reach the age where you died previously."

"Like some kind of guardian angel?"

"We call them Paragons."

Into the air she shouted, "Faye, will you please meet your ward."

Another person materialized out of a ray of light.

She wasn’t to my taste at all.

She had wings like an angel and a glowing halo above her purple hair but she was also too small and had no chest at all.

"Of course my Goddess," she said and bowed deeply to Alexandra.

"You will watch over Mortal Cyrus until his days are over, make sure he at least reaches adulthood."

"Of course, my Goddess," she said, she looked over to me and I could clearly feel a level of anger.

Now the goddess turned to me, "she will always be by your side."

"Thanks, I guess?" I shrugged.

A bright vortex opened.

It had to be a portal.

Faye and I stood in front of it.

I waved the goddess goodbye.

"Good luck to you, Cyrus."

"Not gonna need it."

I jumped in.

It felt like I was jumping into a black hole.
