What's next?
In the office today
(Okay so one of the issues with my writing is compression. If the readers don't take breaks while reading or take it slow it looses a lot and is just stringed together too much without stopping. I'm gonna try to add more natural breaks for those readers that don't add them themself. And slow it down. Longer chapters roughly the same amount of humor, better broken up with more space for character development.)
(Just to clarify any injuries sustained in life do not come to the afterlife and neither do legs those return once on a 'living world' though all injuries are healed after reincarnation. Can't do shit about a personality though)
Across from thine eyes. Figure of silky lust, empty eyes revealing nothing. No pain, no service just a desk of polished wood. Polished to perfection but nothing maintaining a soul to see.
Broken leg, empty left eye, hazy view and cracked skull. Where is my recognition? MY HONOR?!

Warrior: "He's not real" defeated

Warrior: "I want to die, truly" stern
Goddess: "Me too but there's nothing for either of us but work. Okay, here are the conditions that matter. You are de-
Warrior: "Was any of it real?" whimpering
Goddess:"Oh god" disdain
Warrior: "He's not here?! I did all of this for him!" Whimpering
Goddess: "Thats not, double checks notebook, -true, you did it for your wife and unborn child and that friend of yours, who was, reading small print -fucking your wife"

"At the end of the battle, he was crowned Victoriant! THAT BASTARD"
Goddess: "Umm uh, uh, its intensely checks notes

Warrior: "My whole LIFE!? I trusted him, I trusted my GOODDDD"
Goddess: What am I supposed to do with this, honestly? He's not even from earth! Just some fuckin inbred barbarian left at my door... ... I have an idea
Warrior: loudly whimpers
Goddess: Places her hand on his shoulder "I'm on your side" squeezes
Warrior: looks down, sees his dick is trying to blow off of his body

proceeds to leave the tv on while the Victoriant fucks his new wife whilst his fellow warriors weep with joy seeing true love for the first time.
Warrior: SLAMS the desk "how do I sign?" deep rumbly voice
Goddess: "I'll do it for you" casual
Warrior: "Then, why did you ask?" genuinely confused

The end
(I know spacing things out didn't literally mean just add spaces, but I feel like it was so effective. Also, I love making everything slam into each other at once. I think I like drama, love it when shit just gets awful and chaotic. I find that beautiful)
