Isekai: A Final Fantasy

To think i would be given this opportunity, I would be dumb not to accept.

I only have one question.

Why am I being given this opportunity?

???: "You never lost faith"

At this comment, I felt overwhelming happiness and warmth spread throughout my being.

It was a very comfortable warmth where I can feel love at being accepted and heard.

Yes. I was tempted at times but i never did lose my faith.

???: "My Child, you had suffered innumerable sufferings in life and yet you never blamed me for any of them. Many of the trials and tribulations you went through isn't something anyone should be able to endure, but you did. You made mistakes but you never made excuses. Instead you took them as your own fault despite the fact that various circumstances placed on you could have made anyone sympathize with you."

At this, I was shown a variety of scenes from my past life. I was a teenager when I had my first run in with the law stealing money so that children in the back alley wouldn't go without food.

???: "Remember those children? They may have been poor back than, but now they live full-filling lives. They still remember all that you have done for them. One of them even opened an orphanage with the collective efforts of many of the other children you saved from their rough environments."

I was shown another scene where I prevented an over-depressed girl from committing suicide.

???: "This child would have died had you not prevented her from killing herself. The Intervention you set up for her gave her the self confidence she needed to help others who were in the same situation as she was in, and even if you hadn't kept touch, she always uses you as an example for others to strive towards."

A third scene appeared where i am shown pushing a girl away from being run over by a bus. I don't remember this scene.

???: "Despite the countless acts of giving you did, this was the final one that broke the camels back, hahahaha"

I don't remember this. When did this occur?

???: "Oh this? Yeah, most people don't remember their final moments. This is how you died."

After i was killed, I recognized the girl I pushed away. She was my ex.

???: "You remember her right?"

Yeah, I do. She broke my heart when she chose to break up with me for being poor.

???: "Thats right, do you regret it?"

...

No, she was right to break up with me, I was in no shape to support her had we chosen to get married. I just wish all the happiness in the world for her.

???: "Well thanks to you, she did just that. Her calculative demeanor that saw everything in monetary value was destroyed when she witnessed your death. Truth be told, she was still in love with you because of your kindness and selflessness. Your death, caused her to re-evaluate everything she viewed in life. She is now the main sponsor of the orphanage i mentioned earlier and is living in it with her new husband as we speak. She is now as selfless and kind as you used to be."

I felt a happiness at the thought. She did deserve better. I am truly happy.

...

...

???: "And this is why you are being given a chance at happiness. You see.... When I wrote the bible and countless other texts for many different religions, all the teachings i wrote had a common similarity. Do good, don't let your acts of kindness create a sense of hubris. Don't go around sharing your tales of kindness to seek attention for that will be your reward. The universe has a form of Karma imbedded in the system. All good karma you built up is supposed to be rewarded to you within that same life, but truth be told you died before any of that karma had a chance to be returned to you for your acts of kindness. In fact you're still gaining karma because your kindness is spread to the younger generation to this day."

So where does that put me?

???: "Thats the things, it puts you in a very particular situation. It's normal for people to have remaining bad or good karma after death but you have an overwhelming of good karma still remaining. Karma never had a chance to repay you for all the kindness you shared with the world."

Meaning........

???: "This means, I needed to intervene. Normally you would go to heaven but i remembered your sincere prayers at being given a second chance in life. For that reason, I plan to do just that. When your life ends at your second life, we decided to re-evaluate then."

Wait.. Who is we?

???: "My child, our existence spans the multiverse and they're a group of entities responsible for placing souls after their deaths based on what they accomplished in their lives."

Okay okay, so what happens to me now then?

???: "Well first thing is to place you in a different world. Do you have any preferences?"

At this, I felt an excitement I had never felt before. All of my energy started shining brighter and release a wide hue of bright colors and I can tell they were being infected by my eagerness. Suddenly all the lights started to converge with my main core till it started to shape itself into a body.

Jay: "Whats happening?!"

???: "In one of the scriptures I wrote, we talked about the perfect body after death. This is that "perfect body"."

Suddenly as my body finished forming, light entered my now existing eyes and in front of me was an old man with kindness in his eyes. Despite being old, I could see that his hair was not white, but silver as it reflected the light from the Bright white surroundings. He had a silver beard that was perfectly trimmed but i found that making out his face was harder than it looked. A thought passed through my head as i thought about the bible saying God made man in his image.

???: "So.... What do you think?"

Jay: "Honestly I don't know WHAT to think."

I said with an incredulous face. Im finding it hard to conceal my emotions with this man as if he could see right through me.

He laughed at my reaction.

???: "Anyways, now that your body has been remade, let's go back to my previous question. Is there anywhere you prefer to go? I know you read countless novels but the end choice is still up to you."

I started thinking hard. I wanted DxD but i felt the concept of helping devils to be somewhat sacrilegious in front of a man considered to be God.

???: "Your overthinking things child, The DxD world is an existence that sees Devils and Fallen Angels merely as a race. Also, I don't particularly mind harems as long as it doesn't cause you to commit acts of evil. All of my previous children in the past had multiple wives remember?"

Jay: "Than why did you stop us from having multiple wives in the bible?"

???: "Its because Mankind was no longer considered viable for it. Had it been one or two mistakes is one thing but even Solomon with all his wisdom fell from my grace when he chose to deny me for his women. Call it a tantrum if you will but i can be quite jealous."

Jay: "Yes Yes, I remember that quite well. Okay, so harems are okay as long as i remember to never stray from my righteous path, is that right?"

???: "Correct."

At this, I made up my mind.

Jay: "I want to go to the Final Fantasy Multiverse."

???: "Which one?" God said with an amusing smile.

Jay: "Like you need to ask?" I said with a smirk.

???: "Are you testing me? hahahaha"

Jay: " You know i wouldn't do that. You already know without asking. I obviously want to go to.."

???: "Number 10, I know. Plus you want to be born as an Al Bhed on Bikanel Island right?"

Jay: "Awww, you know me so well."

???: "Hahahaha, Of course I do! You also want a chance to go to other worlds correct?"

Jay: "Yep"

???: "That will only be possible when you reach a certain level, for now, I will give you Appraisal, and System Shop. This way your residual Karma wont affect your final review IF you end up coming back here. hahahaha"

Jay: "Can i also gain the ability to alter my own personal reality?"

???: "Nope, I know what you want but that power is way too much for any mortal. Try to gain that ability yourself if you become immortal."

Jay: *sigh* "I figured as much"

???: "Didn't hurt to ask, I know. Well, if that is all, I think it's about time you get going. I'll keep an eye on you so take good care of yourself alright?"

I hesitated at the abruptness

???: "What? is there something else you wanted to know?"

There was. Ever since i read the bible, I have always wanted to ask this question and now the perfect entity was here.

God himself seems to know what i was thinking as he gave me a kind smile.

???: "Go ahead and ask."

seeing his kind face, I mustered my courage.

Jay: "May I know your name?"

His smile grew brighter as my vision started to fade

???: "I am the great "I am"."

as I heard this, a smile started to appear as tears flowed my face.

Jay: "I knew it"
