- Third person POV:
The sky was dark, showing signs of rain approaching, and the wind blew hard outside. The few that were seen on the streets moved quickly to reach shelter before the weather turned for the worse.
However, a small gathering of people could be seen outside a certain house. They were clothed in all black and had a certain aura about them, the aura of mourning. They could all be seen with saddened faces while looking forward towards a table. On the table there was incens that were lit on both sides of a framed photo of a young feminine boy that looked to be in his late teens with brown, neck length hair, grey eyes and fair skin. This was a picture of the recently deceased boy named Hinata Asahi.
Hinata Asahi was a boy that recently graduated high-school with top marks. While he was no genius, he worked hard from day one to reach his goals. He wanted to study at a local art school to learn how to create manga and anime. He had a great passion for them ever since he was a child, it was his way of letting off steam and relaxing in his free time. Not many knew this, but those that did, ridiculed him and put him down for not following the familys wishes to become a politician to make the family rise in the social hierarchy. This however caused him to delve deeper into his passion and made him work even harder both day and night.
When Hinatas parents discovered his goals, they had a great dispute with eachother, causing him to leave the house in the dead of night, attempting to cool off. Hinata walked to the closest convenience store and bought himself a soft drink before slowly walking along the silent streets back home, not noticing the eyes that was on him.
He kept walking until he was merely five minutes from his house before feeling a sharp pain in his back. He never noticed what happened, and slowly bled out while looking back on his life.
The fact he could never please his parents even with near perfect grades in school. How he never really had any friends seeing as he used most of his time studying. How he was bullied when his deepest darkest secret was found out, making him quite depressed over time. And now, his slow death, a death without achieving his dreams.
Looking back on it all, it seemed like quite the sad life. He thought while laying there in a pool of his own blood before it all turned to black.
Back at the funeral, out of sight from the people there, a white silhouette of a boy was standing while observing the process.
"So, this is my funeral? More people than what I expected...." The silhouette said to himself, not that anyone other than himself could hear his words. He just stood there observing it all from start till end before feeling a tug on his consciousness. He was startled by this before quickly thinking to himself that this must be the end of his time in this world before moving on, so he let go and let his mind be swallowed by the darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he regained consciousness, all he could see was a table with two chairs opposite each other. Seeing as he had nothing else to do, he slowly walked towards one of the chairs. Before sitting down, he took notice of the carvings on the wood of both table and chairs. Having looking at them, he took a seat.
As he sat down, a cup appeared on the table. It surprised him, but having to hide certain emotions his entire life made him able to control his emotions to a certain degree, so he quickly calmed himself before taking a whiff of the smell. It was tea, most likely Jasmine from what he could smell. Considering how this place looked, and the fact that he knew he was dead, he came to the conclusion that the tea was to calm those that had less control.
He took a sip while relaxing, thinking about what he would be doing now that he was dead. After all, he was the only one in the area, but before he could come to a conclusion, a bright light appeared from nowhere. The light slowly started to dim as a figure could be seen walking towards the chair on the opposite side of the table. The person sat down as it was revealed to be woman. She had golden eyes and white hair reaching down to her lower back. She was wearing what seemed to be a red kimono, decorated with golden edges. She took a sip of her own cup that had appeared before speaking.
"You seem calm about the whole dying thing." She said.
"I was freaked out at first, but seeing my own funeral made me realize that it wasnt a dream. If I may ask, who are you?" Hinata asked.
"Well I have many names, but for simplicity sake, just call me Eos. I am also what mortals call `The goddess of dawn and beginnings´." She said.
Hinata just sat there digesting the information before quickly staning up and kneeling in front of Eos.
"Please excuse my behaviour lady Eos."
She shook her hands before speaking again.
"No need for all that. I may be a goddess, but I rather prefer casual talks instead of all the stuffy etiquettes."
"I see. Then please excuse me." He said, sitting back on his chair and once again starting to drink his tea. He spoke once again.
"If I may ask, why am I here? I had imagined death a bit more.... non-exsistent?"
She chuckled at the question. " Its simple. As you heard, I am the goddess of new beginnings. That also includes things such as rebirth. As for the `you being here´ question, its simple. Each year the gods choose a thousand mortals each and reincarnate them into different worlds. It gets pretty boring here after a few eons."
"So.... reincarnation is real?"
"Indeed it is. We gods see it as our own form of `reality tv´."
"I see. So I got chosen as well I guess? Then how does this whole thing work?"
"Well as I said, this is our form of reality tv, so we have wheels that you spin to get the world, looks and powers if the world has such things. The worlds can range from a normal copy of the earth that you came from, to tv shows like the walking dead. Movies like The hunger games , and even anime worlds. Its all up to chance. As for the looks, see it like this. You get reborn into the naruto world, but with the looks of Yujiro Hanma from Baki and with the power of Jujutsu kaisen."
"Wow, thats a lot. So what do I do now?"
"Simple." She said as three wheels of different sizes appeared before him. "The big wheel represents the world, the middle is the looks and the small one is for the power. Each one will reveal their contents when they land on a spot. So go ahead and start spinning the wheel." She said with excitement.
Hinata walked up to the big wheel and took hold of it before spinning it with great force. It kept spinning for nearly two minutes before slowing down and landing on a spot that made the whole wheel reveal its contents.
"Hmmm, you got lucky. The my hero academia world. They have a similar earth to what you are used to, just with quirks. Its also semi peaceful, not counting the villains. Just so you know, you will be brought there in time so that you and the main character are the same age."
Hinata sighed. MHA had been one of his go-to series when he was stressed. Sadly, he never watched further than the fifth season. He never even read the manga other than the occasional spoilers.
"I guess thats the best choice for me. I guess I should spin the next one?" He asked. Seeing Eos nod at his question, he grabbed the second wheel and spun it just like before.
It spun for a couple of minutes before stopping on a name that had been revealed to him.
"Who is this character? I dont remember the name `Kagamine Len´." He asked.
"Oh, thats a special one. You see, Len is one of those animated bands that otakus love to watch named Project SEKAI I think. Here, have a look." She explained before another figure flashed in.
He has blue eyes and short, yellow hair, tied back in a ponytail and spiked, looking like a bunch of bananas. He stood at a height of 5'1" (156 cm). He wore a white sailors shirt with the flap on the back being black with yellow stripes. He had a yellow tie, black shorts with yellow on the edges that had a yellow and orange strap along his right leg and white boots. He also wore black leg and arm warmers with yellow edges.
"This is Kagamine Len. This is him at what could be said to be 14 years old, although since I want some entertainment, I will make it the look youll have when fully grown." She said with a devilish grin, making Hinata have cold sweat down his back.
He could just sigh. "Ok then.... I better spin the last wheel to see what my quirk will be."
"Oh yeah, before you do that..." she interrupted him as he already has his hands on the wheel.
"Yes?"
"You should know that the wheel will have some spots saying `Quirkless´. This is because the wheel grant power based on how your life had been. For example, how bad you had been, how good, how fulfilling it was and more."
"I got it."
He slowly got nervous as he spun the final wheel. The wheel that woul decide how he would grow up in this new world.
It spun like never before. It took longer this time before stopping on a spot that soon revealed itself.
"Avatar: LOK?" He said questionably.
"Oh, another good one. From your memories I can see that you had watched both the last airbender and legend of Korra. This is Avatar bending, you know, like earth, air, water and fire bending along with their sub-bending like lightning, metal and so on." She said, making him sigh.
"At least its a good power."
"With that you are good to g-" But before she could finish that sentence, she was stopped by Hinata.
"Before that, may I ask a few questions and possibly a favour depending on the second question?" He asked nervously.
"Since you have been a good sport about this whole thing I will allow it."
"First of all, am I free to do as I wish, or is there some goals or whatever that I have to follow?"
"Yup, its all up to you. The only thing I dont want is you for example comitting suicide or dying before you reach the age of twenty. So long as that dont happen, you are free to do as you wish."
"Secondly, I could imagine being born near all the main cast since you mentioned that you would make sure we were the same age. So what family will you put me in?"
"Thats easy. You will be born on I-Island as the younger brother of Melissa Shield."
"I see, then the favor would make more sense.."
"And what would that favor be?"
"If you could ************?"
She stood there with a bit of shock on her face, making Hinata sweat a bit, before bursting out laughing. She held her stomach while hunched over.
She was in this position for a bit before composing herself and answering.
"Interesting. You certainly is an interesting one to ask for that. But I like it, so I will make it so. If that is all, then it is time for you to go out there and enjoy your new life." She said before raising her hand toward me, making me float in a brilliant golden light, just like she herself had arrived.
He vanished from the empty space, leaving Eos alone.
"This might be the most interesting person I have reincarnated. I cant wait to see how his life will turn out." She said as she once again sat down on the chair and taking a sip of her tea.
"Ahhh, this certainly is relaxing...."
