《Do Dungeons Dream of Goblins?》Passing through the cracks

“So why am I Here? I am pretty sure I didn’t die or anything…” I said while viewing the completely white room and looking at the beautiful floating woman. I’m absolutely certain I didn’t die but why does this feel like a reincarnation seen from other stories I read.
“Well, no you didn’t die per se but at the same time you could say something worse happened…” the floating woman said
“Don’t leave me in suspense here I was going down to sit and somehow I ended up here!” I said
“Well I guess I should introduce myself I am Filliam the Goddess of Life, you see you have somehow ended up in my dimension, you somehow had the luck to be pulled into a spatial rip that lasted less than a second and was sent to my world. I have isolated you because of this weird occurrence; you see you are completely different on the molecular level to any creature in my dimension. Since I don’t know what you can spread to my world we are here isolated thinking on what to do. As I disdain killing and this wasn’t your fault.” Filliam said
“… That’s uhmm, I guess I can’t deny this wow I should’ve tried the lottery, so what now? Do I just stay here chatting with you for all eternity, oh godd now I realize what it was meant a fate worse than death! By the way my name is Dave.” I said
“I think you somehow insulted me there… Well I could take your soul and erase it and bring it into the reincarnation cycle of this world.” Filliam said
“Is there any other way? That just killing me you know? I thought you hated killing people.” I said
“Well it’s not killing its giving you new life. Here I can even reincarnate as a chosen hero or prince, to re-compensate.” Filliam

“No way around its killing me can’t I maybe talk to another god or be sent back to my world you know? I mean talking to a hypocrite isn’t really fun.” I said
I think I saw the Goddess twitch, I mean can’t I really be sent back to my world if she is a god she should have that much power right?
“Well you see as I said before I am the goddess of life so I can’t transport you back to your realm.” Filliam said politely
“Then call another god or goddess, I mean I think you should have others in your pantheon?” I replied
“Why do you not want to reincarnate?” Filliam asked
“Will I have my memories if I reincarnate?” I asked back
“Well no, to reincarnate the soul has to be cleansed.” Filliam replied
“Well then that’s no different to dying in my opinion, and I would only help the next person who uses my “soul” whatever the hell is that.” I replied
“Why are you disobeying me? I am giving you a very reasonable offer I have even taken pity on you.” Filliam said starting to sound annoyed
“Yes locking me up oh I mean “isolating” me in a room and then telling me that I have to die very reasonable I see the pity oozing out of you, please less bullshit, I’m in a bad mood I have been told I somehow had the luck I was thrown out of my world and now I’m stuck in a room with a Goddess who wants me to happily suicide yes I thank you sooooooo much!” I snapped angrily at her
She seemed frozen for a couple of seconds, and then I heard a man’s laughing and a skeleton. He had a top hat, a monocle and cane but other than that he was naked

“Seems you’ve finally found a human that didn’t listen to you, uh this is great by the way mortal I am the God of Death Mortrium. Pleasure to meet you.” He said tipping his hat
“Uh same I guess?” I replied
“Well since you have allowed me to see Filliam completely frozen, truthfully this is priceless, well whatever I don’t think she will un freeze any time soon, so I have come here to offer you a way out of this unfortunate situation! You will become a special monster in this world, with your memories and personality intact!” Mortrium said
“What type of monster and why?” I asked
“Simple, you have entertained me so I will pay you, as the type of monster it’s called a Dungeon I living building of sorts, as why I need monsters well I am the god of Death and the leader of the Dark gods, we are worshipped by monsters and I think you’ll be able to grow pretty well in that situation.” Mortrium said
“Sigh, well I got nothing to lose I’ll accept I don’t want to die and it sounds interesting.” I replied
“Great see you later!” Mortrium said as my vision went black
