Walking down the streets, a young man around the age of between his mid to early twenties was rather good looking and well trained. He had a bored expression deeply annoyed at the current status of his life.
At an early age, he had been fascinated in fictional stories like anime and comics, especially those that had thrilling combat leading him in the path of Martial art. His father was a veteran and martial artist, having taught him numerous combat techniques.
It sounded unbelievable but that was how his life was and had been the best among the best that he had become a monster in martial arts. The young man had fought in the streets and tournaments attaining the title of world champion yet he didn't enjoy it that much craving more thrills in his life.
He was not hooligans and thugs who only seek pleasure in combat but only fighting stronger opponents does his blood boil. The young man has integrity in combat and has studied martial arts with their philosophy.
Regardless, in a world that is as peaceful as earth, it made his skill virtually useless unless he joined the military but seeing it only profits the corrupt not the country decides not to.
The young man concentrated in training, reading and living the rest of his life seeking a worthy place to make his blood boil. Unfortunately even underground fights would have the same result. They cower before him upon hearing his name and title.
'Dammit! I wish I could have been born in a world like anime and comics where I can at least die fighting a worthy combatant…'
He deeply sighed wishing for the impossible but his childhood dream remains. The young man wanted to have an adventure and even have his own harem that are strong and capable fighters.
He finds it self fulfilling and frankly childish knowing something like polygamy to be difficult to manage but the young man is well capable since he is incredibly rich. But the woman that he had a relationship with didn't click and didn't last long.
The young man doesn't have any interest in them anyway. He seeks someone strong and powerful to remain by his side.
"S-Someone help!"
The young man screamed in the corner and found a few thugs trying to violate a woman. He wanted to ignore it but his instinct for battle was kicking in even if they were small fry in his eyes.
'Guess, I'll do some heroic moments then…'
He didn't waste time talking and jumped on the closest thugs kicking them straight to the wall while his friends tried to retaliate but the young man blocked their attack and instantly knocked them out by cutting their airway.
"Bastard!!"
One of them shouted out a knife trying to stab him but the young man was unfazed having experienced this kind of thing every single day. He felt the adrenaline of the fight and redirect his knife back to the thug stabbing himself in the process.
"Gaaarh!!"
He tried to push his hands but the young man plunged the knife deep into his shoulder and twisted it causing the thug to scream in pain.
"Pathetic."
He mocked and kicked the side of his head slamming it into the pavement. The young man suddenly felt something hit his head and turned to see a thug had struck him with a bat causing him to bleed but this only made him more excited and grabbed the thug by the neck.
"Hehehe not bad, but…..I'm better."
The young man kept his hold and duck down as another thug swung their bat then sent flying by back kick then slammed the thug in his arms and looked at the remaining thugs that was around ten people and their leader watching the fight still holding the woman who struggled and crying pathetically.
"You think you'll be a hero and save this girl? As if, you're outnumbered."
He cockily said while the young man chuckled then turned into a laughter shocking the thugs. They suddenly shook to their core when they saw his expression became similar to a demon and suddenly realized who the man was.
"Haahhaha I'm outnumbered….but you're outmatched!"
"W-Wait!"
It was too late and the next screen could only be described as brutal where the thugs had been placed into half dead state and crippled most of them while the young man kept his hand on the leader.
"Dammit….if only we knew who you were then—"
"Shut it. I didn't do this to save her but to fight you but I'm greatly disappointed."
The young man had been killed before and didn't feel any regret since he only fought people who are capable fighters and few thugs never harmed innocent people. The only reason he said those words so that the woman doesn't suddenly think he's a hero is because he's not if anything he's a monster.
He knocked the leader glancing at the frozen woman scared while the young man didn't try to comfort her since he had experienced things like this before when he joined a gang and fought to satisfy himself but didn't stick around. The young man called for ambulance before began walking away.
"W-Wait." The woman called out but he ignored her and kept walking.
"Please at least tell me my name at least!"
"The less you know, the better. Just try learning how to protect yourself next time."
He left her but didn't leave the scene and waited until the ambulance arrived to make sure she was safe before nodding to himself and heading back home. The young man soon arrived in his apartment and the moment he opened the door was when met with bright light and next thing he saw was being on the ground buried in the mountain of rubbles.
'What way to go….I guessed the people I pissed off finally had enough.'
The young man didn't bear any regret since he's already gotten incredibly bored in life and been trying to kill himself by fighting dangerously. He doesn't have anyone left in his life and prefers that way.
He slowly felt that his consciousness was slipping away and expected hell to come since he had lived in a ruthless way only for him to be dumbfounded by the sight of white clear sky.
"Looks like a fresh one over here. Look here buddy, you
alright?"
He nodded looking around the people counting them and judging each of them, noticing that most were the same age or older than him but never passed the elderly stage only around the middle age to late twenties.
The young man remained calm and ignored the people that tried to help him since he wanted to get a solid grasp of the people around him.
'Base from my intuition this scenario is similar to a fanfic I use to read. Though I don't like some parts, I enjoyed most of it.'
He thought to himself where the story was that a god wanted a successor of sorts and took around 100 people to compete for the position. The young man noted that if this is the same scenario then he needs to take notes for the people that could be a threat like those who are obsessed with fictional stories as they have a clear understanding of the tools they will need to win.
The young man grew excited at the fact his prayer had been heard and now eager to enjoy the thrill of a good fight. The young man doesn't care about winning or losing, the point is to fight and make his blood boil in adrenaline.
It was then a bright light appeared taking the shape of a human looking down at each of them where some of the dead were kneeling and praying thinking that the god was there to judge them.
"Greetings. I am one known as a god. After millions upon millions of divine years that have passed, I've decided that it is time for me to step down and find my new successor, the one who shall rule everything."
Everyone murmured among themselve upon hearing the proposition where few were confused while others had their eyes filled with greed. The young man scoffed at their immaturity and vainglory thinking it would be easy when they'll likely take shortcuts.
"I have gathered a thousand of you, and for the next few hundred years I will play a game with you all to make sure I pick the best one. Each of you will have a system, and you will select three powers to help you in your new life."
Hearing this the group of otaku's and scumbags had perverted faces that it made him look at them with disgust. The young man does desire a few women in fiction and other worlds but the way they view them is like they are entitled to own them.
"After becoming accustomed to your new systems, you will be sent to a world of your choice or one chosen at random. Before becoming allowed to travel between worlds, you will have twenty years there to mature in peace."
The young man grinned at the fact he'll be able to fulfill his dream of fighting a strong opponent and perhaps gain his army of strong women by his side. Others also had the same thought with few having felt entitled to have their favorite anime girl to be their side.
He inwardly laughed at their immaturity thinking that they'll likely choose something that gives them shortcuts rather than take up the challenge. This means they'll be easily defeated by a more experienced individual since they will think they are invincible and unable to be harmed.
"You'll need to either develop your current powers further or become an expert in the ones you prefer. Your ability to use your new powers or your ability to convince others to follow you will determine your chances of success. I'll be returning in an hour to send everyone on their way, so for the time being, evaluate your new systems and decide on your powers."
And with that the God disappeared leaving everyone
gapping at the spot he was in before. The young man just shrugged and went with the flow, before activating his new system.
What he saw was the usual setup with general information, stats, and slots for his abilities. The young man decided that he didn't want all the extra information and limited it to just show his general information and lists of his abilities.
[ Name: ???? (Formerly:Daniel)
Age: ????
Race: ????
Lvl: 0
[ Abilities ]
/ None
/ None
/ None ]
Satisfied with that, the young man or Daniel looked at the other functions, and saw that there was also a shop, and interface for things such as friends and a mailbox. He opened the shop first and saw that there were different slots for abilities. A notification showed up to inform him about the shop.
[ Be aware that the shop function is only accessible for a short time. time. When one reincarnates, the store will only be open when the user reaches the 100-level landmark. a few skills additionally, objects will only be accessible after the user reaches to prevent overtaxing baby bodies, the age of five. Basic bloodlines and only one bloodline will be exceptions. will be offered to each individual. Depending on the bloodline chosen, others will choose to avoid needless problems. Ignore any irregularities brought on by the lineage in question. ]
Daniel was unfazed since he understood there were certain compromises needed to be made. He took a moment to consider everything before deciding what he needs and to choose a bloodline ability that will benefit him the most and that is able to give him a jumpstart on the others. He needed to focus on ensuring the best foundation for himself, while also maximizing potential in the future.
Suddenly he heard the others shouting in excitement at the abilities they were choosing, such as specific attacks from anime, weapons, and so on. Daniel snorted at their stupidity.
After he spent several minutes choosing his abilities and place and time he wanted to be born, he felt as if that as long as he put in the effort towards training in the future he wouldn't lose to just anyone. He then checked the other options, and was surprised that he had a friend request.
Daniel opened it and saw a pretty looking girl that looked vaguely familiar. He was wondering where he knew her from, when the woman herself walked up to him.
"Hey, you might remember me but I'm the girl that you saved years ago and I just wanted to thank you."
He got curious when he heard her speak years ago while it only happened a few minutes ago but decided to keep quiet and said.
"Like I said to the thug, I didn't save you because I wanted to but I just got bored and fought them. You don't owe me anything."
Daniel doesn't want this woman to be involved with him since he can see that she might mistake her feelings of debt to love. The woman shook her head and said.
"Even still, I'm grateful for you allowing me to have another chance and taking your advice but I guess it is still useless in the end."
She laughed it off while he crossed his arms and asked.
"Say how did you die?"
"Well, I died when I tried saving a child from a truck."
Daniel's eyes twitch finding the irony of the situation and nodded as the woman tried to get to him more but he tried not to get her involved with him since she would not see him for 20 years.
"You should focus more on your own journey since we will be separated anyway and there's no point in getting acquainted."
"Oh come one, don't say that. I promise I'll meet you once we get the chance."
Seeing that woman was determined to explore their relationship decided to give up.
"Suit yourself."
After a while everyone soon finished their decision and light enveloped their entire body and vanished from the plane that they were in. Daniel had decided that he would take Garou's Martial Art Talent, a downgraded Lex Luther's intellect and finally Viltrumite Physiology since they were reasonable options.
He finds that other bloodlines and abilities will make fights become dull and lacks the thrill he wants. In addition, he finds the Saiyan bloodline to be unreliable, especially the danger of turning into a Great Ape.
Viltrumite has some weakness like sensitive ears but with Lex Luther intellect even if it is downgraded still gives him ways on fixing the problem.
In his opinion, Viltrumite are stronger than Kryptonian since without the Sun they will gradually grow weaker and eventually reach a point of human level unlike Viltrumite who don't have any source of power besides their genetics.
==========
Within a hospital in Japan, a young boy was born and already opened his eyes, shocking the doctor. Despite being borned he appears to be aware of his surroundings but quickly the baby cries taking him out of his daze.
"C-Congratulations, It's a boy!" The doctor stutterly announced while the mother and father were excited to see their child and said.
"My handsome boy….. I'll name you, Yuuki. Yuuki Wakura."
