1. Faith

I never been a good Person. 

I was filled with sins and never really prayed or gave something to God. I was just walking though live. 

But I believed in God. Therefore, I was sure that I would land in Hell once I die. But I was fine with that. It was fair and I wouldn’t have hated God for it because I deserved it. 

For me this live was already too boring. If you would ask me, I couldn’t tell you what would be missing but I just felt like I was born in the wrong world. But killing myself would’ve been too cowardly and so I waited until my end would come. 

And then it happened. While I was in a bus back home a truck hit it and destroyed it completely. I was the only one who was heavily injured but that was fine, I gave my best to protect as many persons as I could, because unlike me they were enjoying their live so they should at least enjoy it as much as they can. 

But don’t get me wrong I’m not a hero. I’m not suited for such a job and most importantly I’ve already fallen too deep to receive Gods love but even that was fine for me. Because I was sure he knew that I loved him. 

But God’s love outshined mine by a million times. 

He forgave me even though I was sinful, he loved me despite my flaws, and He saved me even though I wasn’t worthy to be saved. 

But God knew me better than I knew myself. God knew why I felt born in the wrong world, but he still wanted to test me. I failed many times but also succeeded many times and so God gave me a final test to prove myself. 

Would I give my life for someone other. 

And I succeeded. The reason wasn’t important as long as it was done out of love. 

And indeed, it was. Once again God knew something I didn’t. It was the huge love I hold for humans. I did say otherwise but he knew better. Even though I hated humanity for its wars and gruesome acts against themselves I also loved them for their good acts. 

And then I stood in a bright white room. 

It was filled with warm love which could melt even the coldest place. 

It was truly a Memorie I will never forget. 

And then a white humanoid being approached me. I couldn’t it’s a face or something else just its shape. But I knew he was God because the love I felt from him was even stronger than the love I felt ever in my life. 

And so I asked God. 

“Why did you save me?” 

And what he responded. 

“To reward you.” 

I didn’t understand at first, but I quickly understood what happened. 

“Did you test me?” 

“Indeed, my child. And you passed.” 

I gave my best to tell him the truth. I told him every sin I done; I even told him every evil thought I had begging him to punish me. 

But he just hugged me telling me that he already knows. 

I wasn’t able to hold it back anymore and began to cry as I wrapped my hands around my creator. 

I don’t know any more how long I cried maybe hours or even days, but what I knew was that it was the first time since a decade that I cried again. 

But no matter how long I took he just kept hugging me until I stopped. And once I stopped God stood up again and smiled at me. 

“My child. You who passed my test, I ask you to serve me.” 

Of course, I didn’t hesitate and accepted but God stopped me before I could even let out a breath. 

“Not so fast my child. I want you to think carefully. What I’m going to ask you isn’t something you can just accepted like this. It’s something which will change everything.” 

I Immediately done as I was told and remained silent waiting for him to start. 

“I’ve created many things. Planets, starts, moons and most importantly Life. But this isn’t all. I’ve created many worlds. And among these worlds there is one I’ve created a long time ago. Its bigger than most worlds and far more complex than any world I ever created. You could truly call it a masterpiece and unlike this world it was filled with magic and other supernatural things.” 

My heart alone began to race from that alone. It was everything I could wish about in a new world. But God seemed troubled by my joy. 

“But this world is far more gruesome than this world. Its much more darker and at constant war that I sometimes think that it would be better to just end it. But…” 

“You love them too much.” I responded almost immediately. 

Gods smiled as he heard my words which filled me with more than just simple joy. 

“This world is about to fall apart. I don’t want you to be a hero. I want you to rise in this world and bring balance. I will give you power as my servant and give you a special role which only you will ever possess but that comes with a price.” 

I already knew that but what came after was truly in a class of its own. 

“The price for becoming my personal and only true Saint is that you will never be able to enter Heaven or Hell. You become an immortal being which will walk though this world for all eternity and never be able to see your loved once again after their death.” 

“It is a fate which I don’t wish for anyone especially for you, but you are the only one who is able to receive this fate. There is no other except you. It is truly a cruel coincidence. I won’t be angry if you chose not to take this path and rather choose to go to heaven.” 

I was speechless at first, but I already said it at the beginning. I loved God more than any other. 

“So, tell me will you become my Immortal Saint?” 

“Yes, I will. For my Lord I will bring balance for all eternity and follow every of your commands as your sword, shield and as your messenger.” 

The almighty one smiled upon me as he laid his hand on my cheek.  

“Then from now on, and for all of eternity, you will be the Immortal Saint of God, Saint Lucius Creed.” 

I could feel how my very being changed. I was filled with light, my soul felt purified and for the first time I experienced true calm. It was almost terrifying how calm I was. 

“Don’t be afraid. Only the true Saint attains this state. It is one of the many blessings the True Saint received called Nirvana. It’s a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, or desire and allows one to understands himself better. It also makes you immune to any kind of illusion or mind attacks.” 

It was amazing. As God said I felt at ease. I felt truly like a Saint. 

“Your body also changed to represent you more like a Saint, but don’t worry you look still like yourself.” 

The almighty one created a giant mirror out of thin air and placed it in front of me allowing me to see myself. 

My former black hair turned silver, white, with a halo on top of it and my eyes became golden. My hair also became longer and reached my back while my skin became tanned and shined a little making me lock more holy. My face got more handsome as well, due to my shiny skin which got rid of my flaws. 

But most importantly my clothes changed. 

I now wore a silver greca-style overcoat that reached down to my ankles with golden-edged cuffs, a set of Seven golden buttons running down the torso of my centre front that ensured that the coat was closed above the hipline, and golden-highlighted edging. The inside of my coat was Golden as well and featured vertical silver stripes travelling down the entire coat.  

A little bit much even for me but I like it. 

God smiled, as if he heard my thoughts, which made me smile which as well made me blush once I saw my own handsome smile. 

“M- My lord. I think you–” 

God suddenly interrupted me as he said, “My child these cloths and appearance aren’t my doing. They are yours. Your own soul chose this as the perfect True Saint of God and I must admit it looks very good.” 

“Thats too much my lord.” 

“Now then We took long but its time.”  

“Yes…” 

“Now my child save this world and bring Salvation to it. Show them the love of God and show them the wrath of God. Lead them to the right path and protect them from the evil. Destroy any enemies which stand in your way and show them what it means to be the true Saint of God.” 

“Yes, my lord.” I said with a smile on my ways which not seemed to drop ever again. 

The Lord then snapped with his finger, and I suddenly found myself in a church. The church was gigantic and looked extremely luxury with a giant Golden Cross, behind a golden throne, which had two Angel statues which held it in place. 

When I looked at myself again, I noticed the same Golden cross around my neck which calmed me down. 

“But what now?” I said out loud as I sat down at the throne, closing my eyes. 

“I said I will bring Salvation but how do I even make people convert to my religion. And God said something about powers but what powers do I have?” 

But once I opened my eyes again, I saw a large Black screen with golden ornaments at the side.  

[System is being set up please wait] 

The scream told me in form of Golden words in the middle of the screen. 

“Kinda like in a video game. But that should make things even easier.” 

I waited a little until the system finished. 

“That is… A status screen!”
