It was mid-December and I was on my way to Christmas business lunch from home. I remember that I was playing a mobile video game, as entertainment. I stopped before crossing the street. I look at the traffic light to make sure it's green and I cross. The last thing I remember is a light and the sound of a truck whistling and braking...
I open my eyes... Or I try until I realize that I do not have eyes. I give up account of my body, or, rather, my lack of one. I do not have arms or legs, nor tips at all. I look around, reflecting on why I can see, without my eyes Everything is black, with no light anywhere. From what I can see, I'm in a
empty.
"Where I am? Anyone there?!" I try my best to scream mentally.
[Yes, young. Take it easy. Everything is fine.]
I turn around. "Who said that?"
[Here child.] I look forward, and suddenly, all I can see is white.
"W-what is this place?" I look around, it looks like heaven. There are harps and little angelic babies with their members shaking.
[Look here guy.] I turn my head towards the disembodied voice until now.
It surprises me what I see. If I had to describe it, I would use the word "divine." Is a middle-aged man, with a long beard and gray hair.
"Who are you sir?"
The perfect man smiles at me. [I'm your god, boy.]
I'm confused "God? Like the biblical god? "
He nods. [I called you here, before your eternal sleep.]
"Thank you. But why?"
[You'll see kid. Normally, when you die what happens is that you go to heaven or hell. But in your case I would like to give you another use.]
"Oh! And what use does God have for me?"
[Well, do you know the typical story of the struggle between good and evil?]
"If you mean the typical of God against the Devil, angels and demons... Yes of course there are lots of comics about that. Why?"
God nods while I'm talking, stating that what I say is Right.
[Actually, those stories do not differ much from reality. You'll see, boy, really there are multiple gods and infinite worlds and we all compete in games for... Let's say entertainment and prestige. The gods can not play the game directly. What we have to do is select the players from among our worlds I have to introduce them in the game depending on your results you win a god or another.]
"So, you want me to play the game on your behalf?" God agrees. "It seems more entertaining than to stay dead, but what do I gain from this?"
[Fence man, do not you think it's enough for God to ask you?] I remain silent, wanting to express that I do not agree. [Okay, how about this? If you manage to win, I let you reincarnate wherever and however you want, what do you think?
"Treat"
[Great, then, it only remains to find out what the game is.]
[The world in which you have been assigned the game is Arda. You will enter the side of the forces of good and you will have to make it prevail in the face of darkness. Tea will implement an interface system that will have inventory, help function, function of status and mission function.]
"This is great! I'll be in the world of 'The Lord of the Rings'! "
[I'm glad you like it. So, without further ado, I say goodbye, give everything. I hope you have fun, but YOU HAVE TO WIN!]
"W-wait, what? As? Are not you going to explain anything else? "
God smiles and suddenly disappears along with all the light. The darkness has returned. Suddenly a mechanical voice speaks in my mind.

{What race does the user want to select?}
So I can choose race and choose my appearance. It's really like a video game of true. "Well, System. What breeds can I select?"
{The races that the user can choose are those that belong to the faction of the good. To choose are: High Elves, Sindar Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, Men, Dunedain of the North and Dunedain of the South}
I think the Hobbits are completely discarded. The Dwarves, even though they are much better, I do not feel like measuring less than five feet. Being a man without any advantage... I think not. Then the elves choose between the High Elves and Dunedain... those of the North. What to do I do not know which one to decide...
"System I choose the Dunedain of the North" The elves have always seemed too arrogant...
{Selected breed.}
{Generating random avatar.}
The system shows me my appearance. My avatar is a man of 1'80m, with light skin, brown hair and gray eyes. In general, it appears between 25 and 30 years old.
I'm not complaining with this avatar. The truth is that it is quite attractive. At least much more than my real self...
{Enter avatar name.}
Hmm ... I think I should choose a good name, but I do not know any names of Dunedain.
"System, can you select a random name that belongs to the Dunedain?"
{Selecting random name.}
{Name: Aldarion.}
Well, it does not sound bad. Yes i like it.
