Rise Of The Hoarder
4 Return To The World
"I HAD DECIDED TO MONITOR YOU CLOSELY, DUE TO YOUR ANOMALY. PLUS, WITH THE ATTITUDE AND TERRIBLE LUCK YOU HAVE, HAVING THIS 'GIFT' CHANGES NOTHING FOR YOU, AND YOU'D BE DEAD AS SOON AS YOU ENTER INTO YOUR WORLD AGAIN."
Jeremy silently listened to God's words, and while they were informative, they were very harsh.
"YOU SEE, EVERYONE ELSE HAD SELECTED THE BEST GIFTS. I PLANNED ON MAKING YOU WAIT HERE FOR A WHILE LONGER, SO YOU CAN BECOME ENTIRELY SATURATED WITH THIS PLACE, BUT I CAN'T STAND YOU ANYMORE!"
Jeremy bit his lips as they quivered and released his tensed up body. What was he thinking? That he could just hang out and chill with God for the rest of eternity? Of course not. Even if he had any chance, he ruined it by being his usual trashy self..
"I really am a useless piece of shit, aren't I?" He chuckled to himself sadly, drowning in self pity.
"WILL YOU STOP THAT! YOU DARE TO CALL YOURSELF THAT IN MY PRESENCE?!" God asked in an annoyed tone.
Realizing he was in the presence of His Majesty, he quickly changed his facial expression and shook his head vehemently with an apologetic smile on his face.
"YOUNG MAN, I WILL BE FRANK WITH YOU. I HAVE SEEN YOUR LIFETIME, AND I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR EXISTENCE. HOWEVER, THAT WAS THE JEREMY OF THE PAST. UPON RECEIVING THIS GIFT, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THAT POWERLESS, PITIFUL, AND WEAK PERSON… YOU WILL POSSESS REAL POWER."
"THE QUESTION IS… WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THIS NEWFOUND POWER?"
After God stated this, his hands still stretched out to offer Jeremy his Gift.
The cube resembled a dice, having a crystalline structure and it glowed as it suspended above God's hand.
Jeremy slowly stretched his hands and reached the Gift nervously.
Immediately his hands touched it, he felt a strong surge of electricity envelop his body. The cube dissipated and entirely merged with Jeremy's body, causing his body to glow brightly to match the colors of the cube.
While he was still recoiling from the shock caused by the sudden surge he felt, he heard a loud <ding> in his head. In front of him was a blue window displaying a system notification he had never seen, except in games.
[System Notification]
<<Congragulations, You Are Now A Gifted>>
"Gifted, eh? So that's what we are now…" He mumbled.
Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to have a Gift of his own. Maybe, for the first time in his life, he would be special. He looked at the system information updating and expected to see his Special Ability in the window.
<<Gift Obtained: Subspace: Lvl 1(Rank F)>>
After this message popped, there was a short moment of silence. Even God didn't make a sound as the both if them looked at the content of the notification.
"S-Subspace??!" He exclaimed.
He decided not to lose hope too soon. He had read several instances where one's subspace ended up making the character overpowered. With a large storage space, he could very well become crazy powerful.
<Subspace: Lvl 1 (Rank F)>
<<Current Capabilities: Hold 10 Objects>>
Jeremy's jaws dropped. He now understood why everyone left the Gift he was given for better ones
"T-This is fvcking useless!" He yelled with disbelief.
Jeremy glanced over to God, expecting an explanation concerning the useless state of his Gift.
God shook his head slightly and shrugged.
"THE OTHERS HAD A LONG LIST OF AVAILABLE GIFTS, AND IT WAS DISTRIBUTED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS… AS FOR YOU, THIS IS ALL YOU GET…" He said casually.
"W-What of my Divine System?" Jeremy asked, expecting to see some overpowered aid that would balance his massive disadvantage.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU HAVE IT ALREADY. THE MOMENT YOU MADE CONTACT WITH YOUR GIFT, YOU CONNECTED TO THE DIVINE SYSTEM. WHAT DO YOU THINK SENT YOU THOSE NOTIFICATIONS?" God answered.
"O-Oh…" Jeremy muttered, looking heartbroken and distraught.
After watching everything that was happening on Earth, he didn't want to return, at least not with such a useless power.
"I CAN NO LONGER AID YOU ANY FURTHER. DOING SO WOULD BE LIKE GIVING YOU PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OVER THE OTHERS, EVEN MORE THAN I ALREADY HAVE." God added.
"Preferential treatment? Since when?" Jeremy asked, angry at God for the lousy Gift he received.
He didn't want to return.
"Alright, please let's make a deal. I promise not to disturb you any longer. I'll be neat, and you won't even know I'm here, so please just let me stay." He pleaded desperately.
His eyes showed unease and anxiety.
He walked toward the figure clad in light and stood in front of it begging.
God looked at Jeremy's face, he didn't want to return to such a world. After looking so relaxed all the time, having to see Jeremy make such a fearful face gave him a new perspective.
"NO!"
The words God said hit Jeremy like a sledgehammer, causing him to stumble backward as he fell on his behind.
"EVEN IF I WANTED TO, WHICH I DON'T, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SPUN INTO MOTION. JUST AS NO HUMAN WITHOUT A GIFT AND SYSTEM CAN REMAIN ON EARTH NOW, SO ALSO, NO ONE WITH A GIFT CAN STAY HERE." God explained.
Suddenly, Jeremy's body began to fade, turning transparent all over. He looked creeped out as he saw himself undergoing such a strange phenomenon.
"LOOKS LIKE IT HAS STARTED REJECTING YOU. IT'S TOO LATE…"
"N-Noo… Please…" Jeremy pleaded even more, tears now flowing in his eyes.
God paid him no heed and remained expressionless, transfixed in the location He has been in since the beginning of the conversation.
"ONE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE FOR YOU… NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, MAKE SURE YOU THINK OF NOTHING ELSE BUT SURVIVAL… AND HOW TO GO ABOUT IT!"
Jeremy attempted to respond to God's words, but at this point everything became fuzzy and he immediately lost consciousness.
In his unconscious state, system dings and sounds reverberated throughout the empty darkness around him.
