…
My mind was drifting in nothing. Not blackness, or darkness, or any similar word. Not emptiness either.
Pure nothingness.
It was like my mind simply didn’t exist.
And then suddenly it did.
I found myself in a body, lying on grass that had been warmed by the heat of the sun. I sat up and familiarized myself with my body.
I had a long tail with fur running down the spine and a tuft at the tip. My ears were long and soft, positioned a little higher up on my head than a human’s. How did I know that?
Hmm.
Anyway, I also had two branching horns that sprouted from the top of my head and swept back dramatically.
Then I heard voices approaching.
“I found them!” A feminine voice called, and I looked over to see the most beautiful woman in the world.
She was somewhat short with bluish-grey hair and fur, two large fox ears sticking up from her head, and five long, fluffy tails waving behind her. She was wearing a kimono that accentuated her body perfectly.
“Oh, hello,” She said, waving at me. My heart melted. As she got closer, she stopped suddenly, her eyes going wide. “Oh, wow.”
“What is it, Stella?” Another voice asked. I looked again and saw an elf walking over with a girl in a huge green hoodie with fox ears, a fox tail, a cat tail, a dragon tail, and an anglerfish lantern above her head.
“Oh, I know,” the strange girl said, grinning. “They’re Fated Ones.”
Then the arms of the fox woman were around me, and I was in heaven.
…
And it wasn’t just that one memory. A large chunk of my memories from my early life as a god came back to me.
However, that one was the one that stood out the most to me.
But after I finished remembering, I blinked awake to find my status page in front of me.

“So, how many options were there?” Priestess Zelia asked once I was fully awake.
“Um… there were twelve, but then something happened and 11 of them went away,” I replied. Her eyes went as wide as saucers, and her jaw dropped.
“Twelve!?” She exclaimed. “How in the heavens!? What was the highest rarity?”
“The highest I could read was [EX],” I said. “But there was a higher one that I couldn’t read, and it was the only one I could pick.”
“You couldn’t read it?” Priestess Zelia asked. “That should be impossible. The system is made so that anyone can understand anything written in it.”
“Well, I couldn’t,” I told her.
“What is the [Class] called?” She asked.
“[Void Demigod],” I replied. “I think I only got it because my soul is connected to the void.”
“Void?” Priestess Zelia murmured. “Well, shit. Okay, okay, breathe.” She took a deep breath before addressing me. “Well, all I can tell you for now is good job. You did it.”
“Thank you,” I said, smiling. She grinned and patted my head.
“I’ll want to work this class out with you as you level up,” She told me. “So let me know each time you gain a level until we figure it out.”
I nodded. “Okay!”
“Great, then let’s go back to your family,” She said. “I’ll explain everything, alright?” I nodded my agreement, and we returned to my family.
