I’m in a white room, wearing white clothing and there’s a guy in front of me.

At least he’s wearing blue jeans.

“Where am I? What’s up with all the white?”

[Joah] - Calm down mate. I’m Joah, your technician. The universe you were in collapsed due to the Emperor jacking in the system, you get what I’m saying?

“Yeah, he’s an idiot and all.”

[Joah] - Woah paw, no need to be so angry. Come with me. I have some nice stuff for you.

I rise up from the ground.

The ground is white as well.

“I see… I have no [Omniscience], so I suppose I’m not a god anymore?”

[Joah] - No, no, no, you are, you are. You just got to a universe where you don’t have powers, mah man.

“A place without powers? Wait, I had lost my powers once in the previous universe. What happened? Where is this place?”

Joah is taking me to a table with a comfortable chair and tea.

[Joah] - Calm down. I’ll tell you everything once you have become more stable. You’re very unstable right now, mah man. Just seat a bit and rest your head. I see you want to do it, right?

I’m a bit suspicious but…

Well, this guy surely has godlike powers.

He could fuck me over any time he wanted, unless there are rules against that.

[Joah] - Don’t you worry, mah man. My function here, is to make sure you are calm and centered and feeling good. Just do whatever you please. Nothing bad will happen to you.

Well, he can read my mind.

He probably can do other stuff as well.

Ah, let’s seat down.

Nice.

Now, I will put my head on my arms.

Yeah, like this.

Aaah~~~relaxing.

Woah, what’s happening?!

[Joah] - Relax mah man! I’m just making it nicer for you!

Oh, a massage.

I do like it.

I won’t allow for it to develop into anything sexual, however.

But I do like massages.

Man, I’m feeling so messed up.

That guy really did a number on us.

“What about the other gods? Are they okay?”

[Joah] - The other gods? Yeah mah man, they fine.

“Nice. And my followers and protégées?”

[Joah] - They good as well, mah man.

“The souls in my realm?”

[Joah] - Everything is okay man, relax. All that the bad emperor did was to jack in the divinity part of the system. That’s why it had to be rebooted. Everything else is fine.

“And what about the data loss? What was lost?”

[Joah] - You will know soon. Let it be for now. It will be better if you’re relaxed for the session.

“Session? What kind of session? Am I going to be expelled or something? Have I gone too far with the Emperor God?”

[Joah] - I cannot judge, mah man. But I can say to you - I don’t think you did. Everything is fine. You would walk out of here with a huge reimbursement if it was me looking over the situation.

I stretched myself a bit.

“And isn’t you the one looking over it? I remember something about a technician being called because of what the Emperor did.”

[Joah] - Nah, mah man. That was a mess. He did something very bad, he did. But don’t worry. Dino took care of it. He got to the place and shut everything down. Then he called on the authorities’. You’re safe man.

Yeah.

I don’t like authority.

But it’s better to be with authorities which give me a personal massagist and a good time than being with that old God Emperor.

The guy was the devil.

And I am the devil, so I should know.
