In the place where everything is covered in darkness there is a small ball of light floating around there.
"I don't know for how long has it been since I am here. I do know that I was an highschool student and all the things(mostly anime and manga) that I have witnessed I remember all that very well just the last few minutes before coming to this dark place are all blurr." thought the ball of light.
A few more weeks or so later the ball of light or more accurately the soul of the boy was getting rather impatient or frustrated from all that waiting because he had started to get bored there.
During all the time he had reviewed all the anime and manga he had ever watched or read through his memories and now he had nothing left to do.
Just a few minutes after he had started thinking what to do something like a portal of light appeared in front of him. Out of the portal a humanoid figure wearing a black coat and pants came out of it but his face just appeared as a blur to him.
The humanoid figure first looked around and then looked towards the soul and said, "sorry for the delay I was rather busy in my work that I forgot about you" he said in a very casual tone.
Hearing him the soul of the man got irritated but controlled himself and asked, "OK, first who are you and what place is this and what am I doing here?"
Hearing his question the humanoid figure looked towards him and said, "hoo~ rather a calm one eh. For the answer to your questions I am a high level being who is supposed to manage the rebirth cycle of this dimension and this place in your terms you can call it as void and why you are here should now be obvious to you as you are dead."
The soul took some time to digest the information and then sighed and asked, "so what will happen to me now?"
Hearing his response the humanoid figure chuckled and said, "not sad or confused after hearing about your death."
The soul calmly said, "well what's done is done it cannot be reversed and it's not like that I had any family or friends who would miss me even if I die."
Hearing him the humanoid figure also sighed and said, "normally a soul that dies had to be sent to either heaven or hell depending upon their actions or being sent back to their world in a new body without their memories to start a new life."
The soul was about to ask something but the humanoid figure stopped him and said, "But since I was very late and made you wait in the void for so long I can give you an opportunity to live a life in a world you like with some wishes of course, so what do you say?"
Hearing his offer the soul became slightly excited and asked, "It can be any world right even anime and manga world?"
"Yes it can be any world but you cannot travel to another world only one world, so choose carefully."
The soul thought for a while but suddenly he thought of something and asked, "how many wishes do I get?"
The humanoid figure said, "You will get five wishes out of which one will be about changing your appearance and one would be any one person's powers with some optimization."
The soul began thinking again and after an hour or so said, "For the world I would like to go to the world of Highschool DXD"
"Hmm....Ok it's done. Now tell me about your wishes."
"Ok For the wishes i would like to have:
1. Super growth
2. Skill creation
3. Immortality
4. Powers of Saiki Kusuo from the anime 'The disastrous life of Saiki Kusuo'
5. Appearance of Tatsuya Shiba from the anime 'The irregular at magic highschool'"
The humanoid figure thought for a while and said, "ok that's possible but the immortality thing will be like you would be live like other supernatural beings that means you could be killed and in return you could make the lifespan of your trusted normal humans just like yourself by giving them your blood but it would not work if either one of you does not acknowledge each other or rather trust each other and no your blood cannot be used to save life in dire situations or for treating injuries"
The soul was silent for a while digesting the information given to him and then with a sigh he said, "Ok and also can you make me an orphan as I don't want my parents to get involved in the supernatural world and make me of the same age of Issei Hyuodou."
"Ok all of the things are done and as a bonus I would give you a house in Kuoh and money able to last for about ten years or so you will reincarnate as 4 year old and also don't tell anything about me or your past life to anyone even those who you trust and I have put a seal on your brain so that no one would be able to read your brain and of course the people would not be able to notice the seal. Now bye."
"Bye and thanks a lot for this chance."
As soon as he said that he was sucked into a portal and the soul lost his consciousness.
