Howdy there now you all must be wondering who is this wacky author that just appeared outta nowhere with this story well y'all can just call me Rob, with that out of the way I bring you all to the prologue chapter for this romcom multiverse traveller fanfic
____________________
<1st person POV>
I woke up, or could it really be considered waking up if I'm dead? anyway, I noticed that despite being nothing more than a sentient energy with no physical being I could see and hear and feel, so that was interesting. Ah, I haven't introduced myself hello my fabulous reader's I am Shima Koji a Japanese-american man 21 years of age my name means "Child of light" in my native language and... I'm dead. enough with the unimportant stuff I was your average every day anime fan who enjoyed many different genres everything from action packed Mecha and shounen to somber and tragic slice of life anime, Clannad after story anyone? I had just finished the Netflix adaptation of Hathaway's Flash when my stomach started to ru-
???: "HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA HAVE AN INTERNAL MONOLOGUE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE"
Koji: "eh who the fuck are you old man don't tell me what to do I'm dead what does it matter anyway"
???: "I guess you don't want to be reincarnated then I understand good da-"
Koji: "now let's not be hasty sir, I never said that I didn't want to be reincarnated, by the way I am Shima Koji who are you kind sir"
???: "finally wisened up huh kid. I'm a being who has existed since before the begining, yo may refer to me as dream, or essence, and one of the many gifts I bestowed upon those that came after was dream energy or as you humans have come to refer to it as, "imagination" you see when you mortals imagine something and put into concrete form, a book or a song or a tv show you are actively bringing about the forces of creation and so when beings such as yourself those that have walked the line between karmic downfall and karmic uprising, a true gray being pass on they are given the ability to move into these worlds and as such come to me the father of dreams"
Koji: "I see so how does this reincarnation work persay, some sort of wishing system or something of that manner?"
Dream: "I shall give you 3 wishes and a system based upon your favorite fictional reality however your wishes can not exceed the power of the world you are sent to for instance if you are sent to a world like high school DXD asking for the ability to reshape reality is not allowed, now I shall spin the Karmic Wheel to see where you will end up"
as dream says this i notice a big wheel almost the size of a ferris wheel appear and with one quick movement from the admittedly spry old timer the wheel is spinning this goes on for a while before finally landing on RWBY a world I'm all too familiar with and know we'll enough to be glad my favorite fictional reality was nasuverse
Dream: "hmmm an interesting one okay boy 3 wishes don't dilly dally here, ah and remember to choose wisely"
Koji: "I choose for my first wish the ability to copy any form of ability but stronger abilities could be restricted to a certain capability if I try, for my second wish I wish for an innate connection to dream energy itself, and for my third wish I wish for the ability to choose people to become my subordinates if they wish and follow me through worlds"
the being known as Dream seems to stop for a moment and eye me up before bellowing out a thunderous laugh and saying
Dream: "very well boy, you wish for an innate connection to me so you can travel other worlds connected to me good, good decision making I like you. very well perhaps one day we may meet again in another time at another place"
and suddenly everything turns black and I lose consciousness hearing an almost imperceptible ding noise, my name is Shima Koji and this is the story of how I protected what I love most my waifu (man It feels so cringe thinking this)
