Night Paris near some night club a drunken young man with black hair and not memorable face, stands and shakes slightly. It was Nicolas Ancar, he came to the night club after the New Year's party at his friend's house, but because he drank too much he was refused entry. Unfortunately for him, it's damn cold outside and he forgot his cell phone at his friend's house.
Β - Oh, I'm freezing and I can't get into this stupid club. If they don't want to let me in then I'll go back to the party, but without my phone I can't call for a taxi, so only 1 choice is either to ask someone for a call or to go to the underground, but god it smells so much here.
After that he decides to go to the station because it started to snow. Nothing was wrong until he got close to the stairs and started to go down, but again, unfortunately for him, no one threw salt on it today. So his feet slip and he falls and hits his head and surprisingly dies.
"Sh, what happened, hmm, am I blind? No, I can't feel my body either, the same goes for my blood" Yes, after some months of meditation before going to bed, our MC started to feel his blood flow.
Beep!
"Hello, new soul afterlife greets you!" - Nicolas.
Hmm. So I thought I died. Damn alcohol and ice. I'll never drink alcohol, yeah like I can after I became a soul :(' Nicolas thought "Hello, excuse me, but I have some standard questions from light novels. Who are you? Where are we etc.?" - Nicolas.
"My name is AAIS - artificial afterlife intelligent system, right now we are in the space between the other worlds. You've gained enough experience and wisdom to be able to travel, it's better to reincarnate to another world. It's your first journey, so you can really choose the universe," said AAIS. - AAIS said in the voice of ALEXA.
"Em okay, I'm grateful for this opportunity, but may I know how I gained enough experience or why do you think I have a wisdom to travel?" - Nicolas asked.
"It's not like you earned enough experience, it's better to be told your every ancestor earned soul experience and when parents give a birth to the child and raise him they share their SE(soul experience) with him, more the experience and wisdom the parents have, more SE they generate and share. And for the wisdom after certain degree of life's evolution and society's development on the planet, people may start to believe not only in gods, but also in reincarnation and to say more precisely in scientific or magical possibility of this event. You have read a lot of novels, fan-fictions and so on and you subconsciously started to believe in this, what granted you this opportunity." - said AAIS.
"WOOOOOOW that's actually cool. Thank you, my ancestors I wish, you all good afterlife. Ok AAIS, I have read lot of story and they all could either choose some skills, powers etc. Do I have a chance to get something like this? Or I wish for too much?" - said Nicolas polite. He was always polite to every stranger and if he had a time or opportunity to help someone, he did it. His roommate from small country Georgia once mentioned some writer's words: {When you go back home, always think to whom helped you today.} After this he started to question himself and started to slightly change his attitude towards strangers.
"Yes, you can use your karmic points to gain some wishes. I'll tell you when you won't be able to wish for more." - said AAIS.
"Okay, first of all, please help my family to have a better life, I'm not asking you to give them some wealth or something like that, just if they put a lot of effort into something and they need just a little bit of luck to succeed, give them that luck." - Nicolas asked.
"It can be granted." - AAIS said.
"Before I continue, which worlds can I choose to travel to?" - Nicolas asked.
"There are not that many worlds for you to choose from. Unfortunately, your soul is not strong enough to travel to the worlds that require a certain amount of soul power. For example, Bleach, One Piece or Soul Eater. Other than those, you can choose to travel to the world that has a lot more free energy flow, but your soul will be flooded with a lot of information and you won't be able to hold your memories," AAIS said. - AAIS said.
That's bad. If that's the case, then I can travel to worlds like Tokyo Ghoul, where I don't really want to travel, or Cowboy Bebop, which isn't really bad, but the chance of getting killed there is too high' - Nicolas thought - "Can I travel to Boku no Hero academia, Marvel or DC?" - Nicolas asked.
"No, you will lose your memories. But for your world a specific world is open, this world is very popular and 70% of the planet's population know about it or they heard about it, so you can choose to travel to this world and necessary *update will be made with the help of the planet's SE, that civilization generates". - AAIS replied.
"Oh, may I know which world you are talking about" - Nicolas asked after some thought. He had already guessed which world it might be.
"It's Naruto Universe." - AAIS said.
"Eh, I knew it. It was not that hard to guess." - Nicolas sighed - "The problem with this world is the death rate. - Though Nick - "What can I choose when I travel to NU?"
"You can choose almost anything that doesn't directly affect the main or secondary characters." - AAIS replied.
"So, for example, can I choose to be reborn in the Uchiha clan at a certain time?" - Nick asked curiously.
"Yes, as long as you have enough KP." - AAIS replied.
Okay, I have to decide what powers I want to become from NU. When I think about it, the most important thing is to evolve into either soul or mind powers. But as far as I know, only Kato Dan, the dead lover of Tsunade, had some abilities related to Yin Release. As for the mind, the Nara Clan and the Yamanaka Clan are the best in that area, but the Nara have that ability from birth and it's probably uncontrollable and I'm not sure if it can be applied to my soul later. - He thought about all the possibilities he could have and made an obvious decision.
"First, I want to be reborn in the Yamanaka clan. Second, I want to be related to the Kato clan in some way. Third, I want to have all the scientific knowledge of the Earth. Fourth, I want to be reborn as early as possible from the beginning of the timeline," he said. - He said.
"1, 2, and 4 wishes can be granted, but not the third. You don't have enough KP to gain that much knowledge. Knowledge is the most valuable thing one can acquire with KP," he said.Β - AAIS replied.
"Okay then, can I get the knowledge of genetic engineering?" - Nick asked with hope in his voice.
"Yes, it can be granted. Remember that this world is not the original world and only a 'mirror' universe, so not everything will be the same as in the original." - AAIS warned as her voice began to fade.
"Wait, what? Please explain the changes!" - Nicolas shouted, but no one answered him as AAIS 'disappeared', or to be more precise, our MC was sent away.
