(AN: I don't know If I copied any of my other titles with this so if I did I'm sorry! 🙏)
It was a pleasant day as usual in the rural countryside with trees dancing to the rhythm of the wind and animals enjoying the graceful warmth the sun provides them. In the forest, you can see a small, plain house equipped with a big porch in front with a beautiful variety of flowers arranged in front of it to create a wonderful scenery of a faraway fantasy land being taken care of fairies.
On the porch, an old man could be seen rocking back and forth in his rocking hair reading what seems to be a manga. This old man is the MC of the story Azur Lynel. A bald old man with a long white beard, like those cultivation novels supreme elders and with a physique the polar opposite of what his age suggests about him... packed with muscles and filled with a multitude of scars giving an image of his harsh past. Past all of this he gives off a grandfatherly vibe making him seem like a kind old man that spoils his grandchildren with candies.
At this sudden moment, the old man slapped the manga closed and put it away on the rocking chair's armrest.
Moving around and popping all the bones and muscles in his body and exhaling a loud breath, "Ah, I really should stop sitting down for so long my old bones can't handle it and start creaking as soon as I stand up!" to particularly no one in the surroundings (AN: 😅). Doing so Azur started to attend to his vast flower collection, only one of his many hobbies he picked after his long life including things such as gardening, swordsmanship, gunmanship, reading novels, watching anime, etc. Like this time passed and day soon turned into night and the howls of wolves and the chirping of crickets could be heard from far away.
Hearing this Azur snapped out of his trance, "I did it again, huh I should really stop thinking about my family all the time it's just gonna make me more depressed" and with a wry smile Azur stopped his gardening activities and put away all of his tools into the shed, returning into his house and going to bed.
--- Sometime later ---
Opening my eyes I could see my usual and boring wooden ceili- wait... it's black everything is black... 'Have I been kidnapped? I can't feel my body and everything is dark? Did my enemies finally catch up to me? No, my body would awake if I felt danger! If so, what is happening then? Have I died? Is this Hell I've been sent to? Eternal darkness, eternal solitude... if so then I must add the Devil is definitely a psychological mastermind.'
"Hahahaha calm down child, you are in neither hell or heaven for they don't exist"
Somehow turning around I can see a 3-meter tall old man with a white beard that can only be called magnificent being at least 2 meters long making me think how many years has this old man not shaved it?
"Wait, you said I'm not in neither hell or heaven? Doesn't that mean you're god?"
"Hah, how did you guess child, and by the way aren't you old as well?"
"Well, what else am I supposed to think with an abnormally tall old man with an equally abnormal beard sitting in the middle of what seems to be complete emptiness? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you can also read my mind."
"Ha, I guess that does seem a bit suspicious huh? Well, do you want to know why you are here?"
"I died?"
"Interesting you are taking your death very well. Why is that, most mortals at this point are right now crying with snot flowing out of their nose?"
"Why should I fear something that I know is going to claim me eventually? That's why life should be lived to it's fullest potential! Grasping every opportunity!"
"Hahahahaha, now that is an interesting world view it seems I chose the right person for the job!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well my boy, I mean reincarnation with benefits including becoming my inheritor!"
I furrow my brows at this, as I just want to live in peace and it seems if I have any relations with this old man god then my next life isn't going to be good...
"Why should I accept this? This sounds like one of those generic isekai summoning stories with bad wishes and an even worse MC."
"Interesting you should say that because if you do accept my proposition then you can have a much more interesting life than your previous one!"
"Hmph, and why would I want that huh old man god?!"
"Relax, child I meant it with no ill meanings all I was saying you could have one if you choose my deal... you know murder is murder whether that is sinful people or innocent so of course in the next life, you would need to do more good deeds to get rid of all that bad karma and have a good life if you don't choose my deal that is"
"Ugh, fine damned old fox! Why are you doing this anyway?"
"GREAT, well it gets very boring in the void you know... having to create universes and wreak havoc among the universes you created, It's very tough work you know! And so once you have grown strong enough I want you to become my rival and fight me!"
'Great... a godly battle junkie!' "So let me get this straight you want to give me powers and then fight you once I'm strong enough? What happens when I grow too strong and let's say accidentally kill you? Just wondering of course?"
"Then I can only say it was my misfortune! Alright then, final time do you accept my deal child?"
"Haaah, fine I accept your deal but first I want to know can I choose which world to go to and can I change my physical body?"
"Heheheheh, of course, of course, choose which world to enter... a fantasy world or a different reality's modern earth (AN: 😉)! And choose the mighty body of an adult in his prime or you can choose to go puberty again! Ah, really the choices are endless!"
'This guy has a few screws loose, but I guess that's what happens to you when you have been living for so long. I have to think which choice would be most suitable for me? A cultivation world where there are thinking with their dick young masters and MC's with supreme plot armor... nah, rather not die just cause I looked at somebody wrong. Maybe a fantasy world with not necessarily that many powerful beings that can obliterate the universe and a slightly better culture than the cultivation world... okay I think I have decided, I'm going to choose a fantasy world with preferably no powerful beings living there or anywhere near it s-'
"Excellent, a fantasy world it is then now all you have to do is customize you physical body, and then you're all set!"
"Can you please stop reading my mind? Giving me Charles Xavier vibes man, not cool!"
"Alright, alright, I'll stop so what kind of body are you choosing for your grand adventure ending with you inevitable fight with me! 😀"
"Ugh, it's like I'm talking to my grandson who enjoys fortnite a little bit too much... okay so how do I customize this body then?"
"Just imagine it, and the body will form in front of you... and I'll just pretend you didn't say that to the cosmic deity capable of creating and destroying universes on their whim 😎"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" 'So imagine it... well then I want my body to be at the peak of power as I'll definitely be fighting many battles over the course of this new life of mine... so 30 or so, and I would also need to have a height of at least 190 cm with unlimited potential in the growth of muscles and I would, of course, need to have at least 8 inches on my Jr. Impaler. What else? Ah right, can't skip on the dark amethyst purple eyes and abyss colored hair, giving you the feeling of looking into vantablack' (AN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack)
"Yes, yes you human male's love being at the point of peak of male performance! Alright granted!" and with that said the abnormal old man snaps his finger and a huge 1.9 meter body appears in front of me with a body that would make many males want to commit die and make many females drool... I am of course talking about the massive Jr.
"Well now that's done, let's talk about the powers you will be getting!"
'Oh no, I feel something bad is about to happen!'

(AN: I'm really sorry for not uploading in such a long while, however, this story is not dropped and will not be dropped and will at most experience delayed uploads! 😅
I plan on trying to upload at least once a week or more, but if I don't then it's either me being busy or not having any inspiration in which direction the story needs to follow or if I'm unlucky both.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Have a good day!)
(AN: I don't know why but I couldn't add this final bit into the author's thought and it kept on making errors and resetting the draft, if any of you have an idea on how to fix this then please be kind enough to tell me!😇 thx in advance!)
