The hivemind is conquering for me? Novel – Another one “Bright.” I muttered as I brought my arm to my eyes. “Oh a thousand apologies we forgot to turn the supernova background off.” A calm, powerful voice stated “There is that better.” Suddenly the light which was burning my retinas vanished and what remained was an office? Grey walls, A small desk with a door behind on the other side of it and oh some sort of creature made or pure blue light? “Where? Where am I? How did I get here?” I asked, not understanding what I’m looking at.
“Who are you, what are you” *Haah* The being sighed. “Great, another talker.” They muttered. “Where’s the stunned silent types I’ve been hearing so much about?” *ahem* Clearing their non-existent throat, it continued. “What we are is not important now, welcome to your life evaluation your physical body has come to its inevitable end and your mind was able to enter a higher consciousness.
Due to your open view on ‘Afterlife’ you’ve been approved for reincarnation congratulations!” “Come to its end you mean.. I’m dead? How, when? I don’t remember” I asked in mild panic, I tried recalling something anything out of the ordinary from today, but blank everything seemed normal. “Well.” The blue being interrupted. “It doesn’t matter now does it? Your flesh sack is already decomposing and a new one is waiting for you somewhere in the infinite, how exciting right?” Before I got a chance to interject the being continued.
“Now lets see.” It looked at some forms on its desk. “karma, karma, karma let’s seee… Ah here! “”Some good yeah to be expected. Some bad, mmhhhm, mhhhm, nothing out of the ordinary. Congratulations your karma in your last life turned out just slightly positive from neutral a good balance.” “So does all this mean anything or are you just telling me this for nothing?” I asked curiously. “Of course, of course. You get a small boon in your next life. Nothing super powerful and no great curse as I said balanced karma you don’t deserve that.
However, the one you do get is a roll of the dice. You will receive it the instant you are born it could be absolutely anything.” “Of course, you can decline this offer and return to the infinite as energy what say you?” I pondered for a moment becoming one with the infinite does sound rather pleasant in a way but so would a chance to start a fresh. My past life wasn’t anything to write home about, evidence of that was my balanced karma. 22 years and nothing to show for it may as well hit the reset.
