Somewhere in a desote mountain peak, strands of light came together forming into the figure of a person. After a while, the light dissipated, and the body of a naked little girl could be seen.
Her hair was as dark as the midnight sky, so deep and smooth it seemed to absorb the very light around it. Each strand shimmered like threads of moonlit silk. Her beauty was otherworldly, as if the very stars themselves had conspired to weave her features, but at the same time a subtle and hidden ominous aura of death surrounded her.
Her soft white skin had a shine of brilliance to it. In this desote nd, she stood out like a sore thumb, impossible for anyone to miss her.
Opening her eyes, it could be seen she had pure bck coloured eyes, reminiscent of a bck hole sucking and devouring everything within sight yet still captivating to look at.
Slowly getting up to her feet, she quietly scanned her surroundings before her eyes arrived at her bare feet. Looking down at her naked body, a frown suddenly appeared on her face. Something seemed to be missing, her face immediately became pale as she reached down between her tender thighs with her hand to check something.
"I-It's gone?!" A soft and captivating voice came out of her mouth as she spoke. Non, who had just been given a new life and body had just found out that he was no longer a man. He was now in the body of a little girl.
After thoroughly checking for his little friend down there for a while, he just stood there, pale and dumbfounded for a few minutes.
"Haa... Is this some kind of retribution..." He muttered to himself with a desote smile that was not really a smile.
In her personal domain, Luna couldn't help but ugh watching Non's reaction. After a while she decided to contact him.
"So how do you like your new body?" A familiar voice echoed in Non's mind.
"Goddess Luna?" He asked in response.
"Yes, it's me, your new body suits you well." Luna responded in a mocking tone.
Non: "..."
"Huh? Aren't you gonna say anything, having lived as a man in your previous life shouldn't you be feeling wronged and angry right now?"
Luna asked in surprise, although she could tell that Non was shocked and dumbfounded at first. She felt no feelings of anger or resentment coming from him.
"Not really, whether it's as a man or woman. A second chance at life is still a blessing..." Non replied before pausing, leaving Luna surprised. Then he continued, "However I do have a question. Why make me a woman?" Non asked.
After a moment of silence, Luna's voice echoed again in his mind.
"I didn't turn you into a woman, I simply made a vessel for your soul to occupy, then communicated with the world's cause and effect. It must have deemed that your current body is suitable for your soul and the task I have given you. As the only remaining god, the world's cause and effect will take my preferences into account when merging a soul into a vessel I made."
"Preferences? Does that mean..." Non asked.
"Ehem!" Luna cut him off before he could continue speaking.
"Anyway, this is the new you now, do you still want to keep your name, or do you want to change it?" Luna asked.
After pondering for a bit, Non replied. "No, I'll keep it."
"Very well. I'll transfer all of this world's knowledge into your head now. Keep in mind that what you are about to see is the truth of this world's history and magic, some of which have been lost or twisted due to being passed down through history. So, your knowledge will far surpass that of this world's inhabitants."
"Alright." Non agreed.
After that, a flood of information suddenly rushed into his head. Many concepts of history and magic began to be engraved into his head. Even the history and scenes of the perished gods fighting against the devils were revealed. From this he understood how brutal the war was.
Before he could process all the information, Luna's voice echoed in his head. "Now that I've given you information about this world. I have an additional task for you to complete."
"Huh?" Non was surprised.
"Find the reincarnations of the previous gods and take them in as your disciples, treat them well and train them until they become gods again. I've given you the ability to identify them.
As long as you find them, just take them in. Also, the desote mountain you woke up in is only a short distance away from the Mountain Sea Magic Tower.
Go there and become a magic apprentice to establish a foothold. It won't be easy but with your talent for magic and good looks, I'm sure someone will take you in."
Non: "..."
Luna continued after noticing his confused expression.
"Ah... Although you haven't seen yourself in a mirror, your appearance is truly captivating. I'd advise you to be careful around men from now on." Luna said with a mocking smile on her face.
"... Can't you just turn me back into a man?" Non asked with a look of defeat.
"What's done is already done. Even I can't change you back since fate has decided for you. I'd find something to wear if I were you right now. Although you're in a desote mountain, some merchants still use that pce as a shortcut from time to time."
(Author's note: I decided to change MC's pronouns from "he/him" to "she/her" because of the gender change. Please leave a comment in the comments section if you guys want me to change it back)
After that the voice in his... HER head faded away. Non checked her condition and found out that she could now use magic. After a few rounds of practice, she learned that magic was basically second nature to her. To say she was talented in magic was an understatement.
This new body was basically the body of a god. Examining every inch, Non found it weird, such a tiny and petite body held such power.
An hour ter after scouting the area, she went into a nearby forest to hunt some magic beasts.
......
Six months ter, Non sat in front of a fire. Roasting some meat over it, she wore clothing made from beast skin. Making her look like a beautiful barbarian little girl.
She looked intimidating but also cute at the same time. During these past 6 months she had processed all the information she received from Luna and started practicing magic and swordsmanship.
