Where am i, or where is this place

Dying once is bad enough. Dying in the most embarrassing way possible? Worse. Waking up afterward in a strange, unnatural world, with a body that isn’t quite his, no answers, and a sarcastic flying creature calling itself his “helper”? That’s when things truly go off the rails. He has been chosen, randomly, for the Trial of Godhood. One of thousands of candidates thrown into a divine competition where the goal is simple: gather followers, gain power, and ascend… or die again, for good. With no skills, no experience, and a guide who seems more interested in mocking him than helping, he’s forced to make impossible choices. Every decision matters, from the people he brings into this world to the place they’ll inhabit. But this isn’t a game. Other candidates are out there. Gods are watching. And worship can be gained through faith… or fear. In a universe where even gods don’t know what comes after death, he must decide: Will he rise… or be forgotten again?
