I started laughing loudly, lying on the white bed with the smell of medicines, those were not laughs of joy, but me laughing at myself, at my life.
He had a weak body, one that would get tired on walking a few steps. He knew he would die young, but he desperately clung to life. But at the age of 25, his body reached its limit.
"Next life I... will become strong.....and....live my life to the fullest..."
He swear on his death bed.
He wanted to be enjoy childhood like a normal child.
He wanted to have friends.
He wanted to run.
He wanted to fall in love.
He wanted be free like the birds in the sky.
He wanted to live.
Just Once.
But fate was against him. Regret filled his mind as he saw his consciousness faded away.
Death is the end of every beginning but death is also the start of a New Beginning.
He found himself in darkness, where he felt peaceful, as if all the anger, pain and regret over the years were lifted from his shoulders. He was happy and his soul was at peace. Suddenly a ball of light of warmth appeared and gradually engulfed darkness.
"What happened, I thought I was dead"
He slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room with knee deep water. The room was dark and barely had any lighting.
That was when he looked down at his hand.
"Am I glowing?"
He was shocked and puzzled as he quickly shifted his eyes towards his legs.
" Ahh... Why I am floating in air".
I was terrified as I found out that I was floating.
"Did I died and became a ghost or something, Let's just hope that is not the case, I don't want to be chased by an exorcist all day long"
A chill ran down my spine as he asked himself "Where am I?" as he shifted his gaze in all directions. There was not even a sound nor a breeze. All he could hear were my foot steps and the gently flowing water underneath him.
I looked around the room. All I could see was darkness.
Suddenly I heard a voice and a large screen suddenly appeared in front of me, like those fantasy novels.
[System detects a new wandering soul, human male]
[ name unidentified ]
[Checking soul history ]
[ System finds your soul history]
[System finds the soul eligible for reincarnation]
[ System asks you for permission to reincarnate you]
[Yes/No]
"What the fuck is going on here? Who are you? Where the hell am I?"
[I am System, I am the power that spreads the endless space and am the will of all living beings and constellations, I am what you humans call 'GOD']
[You are in a temporary space created by the System]
[System decided to reincarnate you on checking your memories and found that you are eligible]
On hearing this, he was surprised. In his high school days, even though he was weak, he used to read a lot of novels and comics online. So he immediately recognised the situation he was in right now. He has been chosen to be reincarnated, the one in million opportunity that only a few people get after death, he felt as if he was dreaming. Of course, He was dead but still felt as if he was dreaming.
But his death was a plain one in a hospital bed as he was not hit by Truck Kun or died in an accident. So He was thinking, 'how the hell did he get this chance?'. In the first case, 'why the heck would a super-colossal being choose him of all people in the world?'. He didn't know what face to make as he was both terrified and excited at the same time.
"So you are telling me you are going to give me another chance in life," he asked with a voice filled with hope and eyes of curiosity.
[YES]
He was in awe, unable to utter a word. God has given him a chance. A chance to make things right.
"Ok, I accept your offer "
He had no reason to refuse as he wanted to live. He hasn't tasted life like others and wanted to see the world in a new light. He wanted to show the world that he meant those words he said on his death bed.
'Well, to be fair, No one for who in the right mind would miss such a second chance in life. If someone were to refuse such an opportunity, then would either be a monk or a fucking idiot.'
He thought as he remembered something important.
"Great So, how does this work? Are there any conditions?"
He asked as he knew in this world, nothing was free. In any business, both parties must offer something of equal value. In short, there are no freebies in this world.
[YES]
[ Make sure to entertain the constellations with your life]
'Yep,I knew it [•___•]'
"Is there anything else?" he asked with a smile with a twitch on his face.
[No]
[System will just transfer your soul to a random world]
"What do you mean by 'random world'? "
[System connects to all worlds that constellations reside. Normally System reincarnates souls to the same world at a random time]
[But you are abnormally who somehow drifted to the System's Domain by accident, so the System brought you to this space for inspection]
[After inspection, System found that you are just a normal human soul that didn't belong to any constellation's domain, so the System the soul will be reincarnated to a world in random]
[If you want System can reincarnate into a random world known to you]
"Wait, what are these constellations? and what do mean by reincarnating to a world I know?" he asked as he was prying for more information.
[Constellations are entities of absolute power who rule over the world and galaxies and dimensions. They are beings you call Deities. The place you come from is barren as there is no mana or ki thus, isn't in the domain of any constellation]
[What System meant by 'reincarnation to the world known to you' is that System will reincarnate you into a world in random, you saw in books and screens such as the world of one piece, pokemon, dxd, Star Wars, Marvel, and other worlds]
[System makes you know that this will be a random process]
[Choose wisely, if you want to reincarnate into a world, you know or
let the System reincarnate you into a suitable world]
"Are you fricking kidding me right now?, I can reincarnate into those worlds?".
"It would be way easier to live in a world, you already know everything about than in an unknown place in the middle of nowhere? Well, I am already dead so it wouldn't hurt to have some fun"
He couldn't keep his excitement in control at this point. The fear he felt was soon overcome by pure excitement. He couldn't help but imagine himself with those legendary characters and giggle with his hand on his chin.
Suddenly a thought struck his mind 'It will be dangerous for him if he reincarnated into worlds like One piece or Star wars. Those places are fucking terrifying. I didn't want to be born there but at least I will know about the world, right?'
He scratched his head as he made his decision.
"System, I want to reincarnate you to me in a world I know!"
[As you wish]
Suddenly the ground started to shake as something started to come out of water. It was a giant wheel like the ones you see casinos and there were names of multiple anime, manga and novels written on it.
[The names of the worlds you can reincarnate will be viewed on the screen before you]
[One Piece, Gundam, Pokemon, Star Wars, Harry Potter, MHA, Demon Slayer, DXD, Warcraft, Marvel, DC, God of War, Dan machi, Solo leveling, Game of Thrones,(200+)]
'Wow, I read that many books, well I knew that I read a lot of books, comics, and other stuff but never expected them to be this much.'
He was shocked to know that there were more than a two hundred worlds he had could reincarnate into all those worlds.
[The name of the world you will be the one on which the wheel stops]
[Are sure you want to reincarnate into one of these worlds]
[YES/NO]
"Yes," He answered for the better or the worse.
The wheel started spinning, he could hear his heart beating faster and faster than ever. After all, his fate will be decided today, at this moment.
He trembling the sight of that, he could see the wheel gradually slowing down, as time pass by slower and slower and stopping at the name.
He closed his eyes in fear, gulping the water down his throat, shivering all over, could hear the wheel stopping.
"Ding...."
He heard a sound that resonated across the room.
He knew that his fate has been decided. He slowly opened his eyes
[NARUTO: SHINOBI WORLD]
'Huh...,' that was all I could say on he saw the name.
It is one that I never wanted. Out of all those Worlds, he got one of the most dangerous and chaotic worlds, The world of Naruto Uzumaki, 'Shinobi World'
"Wait! wait! wait! Can we do it again? place is dangerous, can I reincarnate into a more peaceful world"
[Sorry, That is not possible]
[System Will transport you to world N7-95]
[As a Parting gift System will give you few perks to ensure your survival]
"Are referring to Cheats?" I asked with hope in my eyes
[YES]
'Booyah..., I am saved, I can become an op mc now, MY CHEATS....'I screamed in my mind with a weird smile on my face.
[Please choose 3 Talents from the given random talents below]
"So there are 10 Talents, let's pick the best ones and become an op mc"
He looked at the screen and read.

[Let me remind you Talents are like weapons and you still have to learn how to use it]
"These cheats are like boosters" That was when a thought struck him as he remembered Naruto's words 'There is no easy way to become hokage'. A smile ran through his face as he chose his talents.
[You have chosen your talents]
[Additionally, a guide and free weapon creation pass has been embedded in your soul as a bonus]
"Sweet, a bonus judging by the name, it is a mini helper system like in those web novels and the pass hmm... it should be to create your own personal weapon, I think"
'Wait, ain't the System being generous, but why does it feel fishy?
He was snapped out of his thoughts when the the System started speaking.
[Your soul will now be reincarnated in the Shinobi world]
[Do you have any more questions?]
"Well, Can you tell me which village I will be reborn in?"
He knew that there are dozens of shinobi villages other than the five important ones. I don't want to be reborn in god knows where so he asked in advance.
[Random]
'huh....' he was dumbstruck.
[You will be reborn in a random village]
"Seriously, You can't fix the location"
[No, Your soul will be replacing the space left by an another soul in the world]
"What about the timeline?"
[Random]
"Which about my clan?"
[Random]
"Can you say anything other than random?"
[System can only reincarnate the soul randomly]
'I knew it, there is always a catch to everything'
He Sighed as he calmed himself down and looked at the screen and spoke.
"Fine.., You win, I don't have any more questions, Please begin " He couldn't complain as he was the one receiving end but he felt like he wanted to punch the system as he was sick of hearing the word 'random', so many fucking times.
{Let's begin}
Suddenly, System's tone changed. Something was different about that voice, it was more magnificent it became an angel who descended from the heavens. The sudden change in voice mesmerized him as the air started to vibrate as he saw the dark room lighting up.
{Calculating}
{ Analyzing data }
{Finding a suitable vessel}
{Fixing issues}
{Fixing coordinates}
{Initiating transfer}
My body started glowing and slowly started disintegrating into small white particles. My mind was turning white as the particles were floating in air like stars in the sky. Soon, all particles were revolving faster and faster. When a crack appeared in the space and the particles were sucked into it like a vortex.
{System bids you farewell and congratulates you for your new life}
"Thank you"
Those were the last words he thought before his mind went white disappearing into the abyss .

Later I found out that I fucked up.
