Well let's start it off easy with some introductions shall we. My name is Kuren Soul. I'm an 18 year old American. I'm a pretty average guy. I only have 2 maybe 3 Unique things about me. One My name, it came from the old matron. The boss of the orphanage. She was apparently a huge history buff. Kuren was some king. I have no idea if that's true. But I like it, it's different. Two, I'm pretty tall as I'm 6 '7. Three, I'm rather good looking. But that's all.
My hobbies include watching movies, TV shows, anime, reading light novels, fanfic's and the Occasional Manga though rare. I especially like those ones on YouTube that you can just play and some AI reads it to you. It's nice when I'm busy or working, something to listen to.
Now I'm gonna tell you how I died.
Wait what?
Yep, I'm dead.
I awoke to a blinding light, I looked at the sun rays beaming, through the window. Looking down I saw that the blinds that I just "bought"(found in an alley) and put up yesterday were on the ground. Right in front of the window that's currently releasing a blinding light right into my eyes.
" Damn sun and its life giving light." I quietly curse.
" I remember hanging those up yesterday," I mutter tiredly looking at the blinds on the ground.
As I look closer at the fallen blinds, I see that the screws seem to have been ripped out of the wall. The screws are like 2 inches long and I screwed them into Wood not drywall. But it looks like the hulk ripped them out of the wall… I live alone.
"Wait, how the hell did I not hear them fall last night?" I pause.
"Well it looks like I have ghosts, they have ghostly powers and shit."
" Whatever I'll fix it later" I say tiredly
I turned to look at the alarm clock to see what time it was. And all I see is it's 88:88 signaling that the power went out last night. I throw the blanket off of me and get out of bed. To get my phone that's sitting across the room charging. But right when my feet touch the ground it's wet, Sorry I may be underselling it a bit. It's Soaked… Not moist…. not damp… but soaked. With water I hope.
" The upstairs pipes must have a Leak again" I say with a disgusted look, praying that it's just water.
I quickly head over to my phone to see the time. As I walk, every step makes a wet squishy noise. Grabbing my phone I see I've got 20 minutes to get to the bus stop. I rush to the bathroom to get ready for school. After brushing my teeth, I can't shower no time, I go to my closet to get dressed. And what do you know, the pipe that's leaking is directly above my closet. Thoroughly soaking most of my clothes.
I was able to find some jeans and a T-shirt that were dry and wore those. Leaving my apartment, Ensuring I lock the door thoroughly because I don't want anyone to steal my soaked clothes and dust bunnies I have underneath my bed. I'm bringing my laptop and phone, which is all I have that's valuable, with me to school. I head to the building manager to let him know of the shit show in my apartment. Brushing me off all he says is he'll look into it some time next week… It's Monday.
I tried to get him to handle it today or even this week. But he says he's busy with other things all he does is watch TV. Very rarely does he do any kind of maintenance on any one's apartment. But I can't really say much more because I need to get going or I'll be late for school, but seeing the time I may just be late anyways.
I rush out of the apartment building to try and get to the bus stop in time. Pushing through the packed walkway of New York. Bumping into all kinds of different people, some Curse at me, flip me off. New York Has some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, sadly I didn't meet any of them on my way to the bus stop.
I get to the bus stop just in time to see the bus driving away. I don't have the money for a taxi. I'm riding the bus, Living in a crappy apartment, and all I have to my name is some clothes, Dust bunnies and Pocket lint. What about these things gives you the impression I'm rich?
So I do want any good Student like me would do, I run my ass off, get to school all nice and sweaty. Because I just ran like 4 miles at full speed and it's a nice cool New York summer day of…97°. Ah look, some kids are frying eggs on the street. I used to do that when I was a kid, ah childhood Memories. But Hey I got my Cardio in for the day, and By The Luck Of Grayskull I made it to school on time.
After a very boring day at school I'm finally released at 3:30 PM. Now I have 30 minutes to get to my part-time job, to get the money I need to survive.
Once more I'm rushing through the Busy streets of New York, Trying to squeeze a 50 minute journey into a 30 minute Adventure. And sadly again did not run into any of the truly nice people of New York. I swear they exist. I'm not one of them but they do exist.
Stopping at the crosswalk, waiting for the little man to turn green so I can cross. I Suddenly hear the loud screech of tires, and some people screaming. I turn and see a big truck barreling at me completely out of control. I'm in the middle of the sidewalk, there's people all around me and there's a building behind me. people screaming and running all over the place to get out of the way of the big ass truck-kun coming to isekai us. I along with almost everyone got mostly out of the way. Yes, almost everyone.
I turned back and what do you know? A mother and daughter both on the ground. The Mother is trying to get her daughter to run away, but the daughter is refusing to go, crying begging and pulling her moms hand to come. But the little girl is like 6. The truck is heading right for them. Everyone is screaming for someone to help. the mother begging for help, to save her daughter.
I guess I'll get isekai'd. I ran to the mother and daughter pair. Grab the mother and daughter and pull them up onto my shoulder. And run with all my strength out of the way. I hear a loud roar right behind me, so I throw the mother and daughter with all the strength in my body to the side away from the truck. Right as I see the mother and daughter getting to the people on the side, I'm hit by something. I'm then pushed by the truck right into the wall.
I'm in a daze. I can hear screams and crying. I looked and I could see a truck right behind me and a wall right in front. I'm sandwiched between the truck and the wall. I Feel oddly hot and cold at the same time. There's blood everywhere. Probably mine. Truck-kun Strikes Again.
The next thing I know I'm sitting in a nice comfortable chair. like a luxurious chair, A chair you would expect to be inside of a house that wouldn't be called a house but a manner or perhaps a palace. It was sturdy and solid. I imagined If I hit someone with this. It would hurt, perhaps even kill, Without being damaged at all. It's a truly impressive chair. The chair hugs me. I feel quite cozy in it. It has a creamy base color with intricate golden patterns covering it. This is the type of chair I would like to have as a supervillain, sitting in front of a grand fireplace, petting a cat laughing maniacally. It's a good chair. I'd like to keep it.
I noticed to my left there's a short table. On top of the table is a clear cup filled with some kind of blue in color drink. I pick up the drink and take a sip and a completely new flavor enters my mouth. Like strawberries and happiness somehow. It's quite delicious. Cool and refreshing. I set the cup back down onto the table.
"Have you finished Appraising the chair?" Asked an aged male voice with a bit of amusement.
Looking directly in front of me, I suddenly realized that there is a gentle looking old man, with a very Majestic white beard stretching all the way down his chest. Wearing fancy looking white robes with golden embroidery. Looking at my surroundings I realized that there is nothing but a fireplace to my right and his left, 2 nice chairs and 2 nice tables. This fancy old man and I are just sitting out in the open. In what looks to be nothing.
"You are quite calm about everything considering you are dead" The fancy old man said with no small amount of amusement.
" I guess it still hasn't all settled in, You know?... Who are you?" I ask the old man though I feel I already know. But it's always good to ask and not make assumptions.
"My name is #^%$*&$@ thought that's hard for Mortals to say. You can just call me God." He said with a warm smile.
I was never religious. I never went to church or anything. I mean I thought there was definitely a higher power. I just figured as long as I don't kill anyone. I'm good to go to my happy place when I die.
"Hello I take it I'm dead then" I ask just to make sure.
"Yes young man. how did you put it, ya yes Truck-kun Strikes Again." The old man Lightly chuckles.
" Is Truck-kun real?" I asked in shock. I said that as a joke.
"Oh yes he's real. though he was on vacation and not in his territory thus here you are." He said with a chuckle.
"So what now?" I ask, still in a bit of shock at what I just learned.
"Yes, now it's time for your prize. Your new life and 5 wishes. 3 for your life 2 for saving the mother and daughter." As he said this some fireworks went off in the background.
"That sounds good but can I ask some Questions?" I asked.
"Sure." he replied.
" First, what do you mean by new life? Do I get to keep my memories?" I asked.
"Well you can pick any place, time, universe even what you think of as fictional. And I'll send you there. And of course you keep your memories, it wouldn't be as fun if you lost them " He tells me with a smile.
"Nice. So is it reincarnation or transmigration? I've read a lot of different novels and fanfic about that. And I greatly enjoyed them." I asked with clear excitement on my face.
" You can choose which one you want." Said with a smile.
Internally I'm screaming In joy. I feel like I'm gonna vibrate out of this insanely Comfortable chair in happiness. Hundreds Of worlds are rushing through my mind, Naruto, DXD, long live summons, Marvel, DC, Bleach, One piece.
Then All of the Sudden feels like ice falling down my back. Dangerous, all of those worlds are dangerous as hell. I'm just a high-school student. I'll get Destroyed there . Or I'll just live a normal life like a noob in those dangerous worlds. What I need is a noob world where I can get my feet wet with a bit of adventure. Nothing too crazy but with some useful stuff. Then it hit me.
Harry Potter, I mean magic the ability to teleport. All the different magic items, the deathly hallows. And all those useful potions. All I will have to worry about is voldybaldy and his death eaters. Well that's my first world choice out of the way.
"My third question is will I have a body that lets me use all types of power and energy systems? Like magic, chakra, qi, spiritual power?" This is good to know. If I don't then I'll have to use a wish for it.
"That is a smart question. Yes and no, you will have a body that works for whatever world power system you will be reincarnated in. But if you transmigrate then you may not be able to use that world's power system. But every time you reincarnate it will add a new power system without you losing any of your old ones. "He said with a bright smile.
"Is there any danger to having all these different power systems?" I ask seriously.
"no" He said still with the same smile
"Alright, that's good." I said as I finish up my wishes in my mind.
"Okay now then if you're all done with all your questions. let's get into your wishes shall we. " He says with a warm happy smile.
