Everywhere was dark and quiet. It was so silent it made me think that the incident in the rain was just an illusion.
I'm dead right. Hah, I died without regrets what a scam.
I pretended to be oblivious to my pain because I was hurting and because of that I failed to confess to the only person who treated me like a human now I'm dead because of a stupid truck. What was that damn truck saying ' Nobody can escape Truck-kun.' Dude I was just joking why now kill me. Damn you Truck-kun.
As the boy was cursing a certain truck that was just doing its job, a bright light shone throughout the entire dimension.
" Is this Heaven." Izana's eyes reflected the brilliant light and he was forced to close his eyes because the light was very bright.
When the light receded, Izana found himself standing — floating actually — surrounded by stars and constellations. It gave a feeling of standing in the center of the Universe. " Where am I? "
"Greetings Mr.Izana. " He heard a voice coming from the left side of the "Universe" where he saw a beauty staring straight at him as if she can see the depths of his soul. He was momentarily stunned but still asked the question that was on his mind. " How do you know my name? "
" Hahaha." A melodious laughter resounded in the hall of Reincarnation. The voice was smooth as silk and was so lovely that it could charm both men and women. Izana wasn't spared and spaced out for a few seconds before remembering the reason for the laughter.
" How won't I know the name of the person that was chosen by Dimensional Truck Lord. "
" Eh. Are you talking about Truck-kun? " Izana was confused because this was the first time someone referred to it like that
" Yes Dimensional Truck Lord. Once every decade Truck Lord personally descends from Its palace and picks seven lucky mortals to be reincarnated into different worlds. It seems like you are one of the lucky few whom were chosen. Rejoice. " The woman was rambling irrelevant information.
' Creepy. To think this is how Truck-kun's fan base is. ' After an unknown amount of time the lady stopped her ramblings.
" Reincarnator, my name is Liriana the gatekeeper of this Universe. My job is to guide reincarnators like you to the desired world that resonates with your soul and also show you the list of patron gods to choose from and inherit their skills. But know this, once you have chosen a patron God there is no second choices so choose wisely. " Liriana narrated with practiced precision as if she had said this a billion times. Oh wait she had.
" Are you the only gatekeeper. "
"No"
"Where are the other gatekeepers. Because I'm not seeing any others. "
"You ask a lot of questions for a human, are all humans this annoying. " She leaned back on her invisible "chair" and looked at me as if I'm annoying. "The answer to your question is that there are some things you aren't supposed to know about. "
'What an answer. ' I thought.
" Well Izana are you ready to pick your patron god? " As she spoke a few of the "stars" slowly gathered in her hand and formed a weird device that looked similar to a projector.
"What is that thing? "
"It's classified. But its use is simple. "
She pressed a button and a wide screen appeared from who knows where. "You see there are hundreds of thousands of gods in the multiverse. A god is created when there is sufficient belief and faith directed towards it. So there are different levels of gods. The gods whom have more believers is most times stronger than another with little believers because faith is power. " She walked towards him while explaining.
"So who will you pick. "
"Let's see. Demon god, Storm god, Harem god, I'll put that one in the maybe pile... " Izana mumbled as he checked the options. "There is even an otaku god."
"Hmmm.. Which god is this. Unknown. For it to be unknown it must be extremely powerful or weak. Let me just scroll away. " but his intuition was telling him to pick the god.
'Fine I will listen to you on this one. '
"Ms.Liriana I pick this god." Izana pointed to his choice and tapped it.
When Liriana saw the god name it was already to late. He had been registered as the disciple of one of the most dangerous god in existence. The screen shone three words
And with those words Izana disappeared to another room. "WELCOME YOUNG REINCARNATOR, MY NAME IS EZO. WHAT IS YOURS. " A powerful presence washed over Izana causing him to lose balance.
" I am Izana and I'm a reincarnator. Nice to meet you. " As he stretched his hand forward an old man with a jovial expression appeared in front of him and shook his hand. This was Ezo' s true form.
"You are very funny. I have a feeling that you and I will get along well. Hahahaha. " Ezo laughed after he finished his statement.
"For that I will give you my divinity." An orb appeared in his palm then flew towards Izana with terrifying speed. Then entered him.
"That is the sage system. The rest is up to you. Goodbye now and I wish you success. " Ezo waved his hand then sent Izana away.
Few minutes later "To think you gave someone the sage system Ezo. Is he the chosen one. " A dark haired man appeared in the room.
"Quiet down Azir don't you have business to do. " Ezo replied indifferently.
"That is no way to treat a friend Ezo. Well I hope that boy lives up to expectations, see you later. " Before he left he saw a cause smile on his friend's face.
As Izana was floating close to the portal he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"Hahaha New world fear me and my Sage arts" Izana boasted fearlessly
So began the journey of a boy with the Sage system.
