Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Reincarnated as the 20th Demon King

The multiverse, is a concept in physics and cosmology that suggests the existence of multiple, possibly infinite, universes, each with its laws of physics, constants, and possibly even different dimensions of time and space. These universes together comprise everything that exists: all of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. Or in layman's terms, the multiverse is the amalgamation of universes that's made of practically whatever you can think up.

Now what would happen when a fun-seeking God decides to play a game of reincarnation with a soul that removed itself from the confines of the mortal plane?

After years of watching over his lover Rei Mizuno who raised their 2 children while balancing hero work. Ming Ze, the man who changed the world itself to where the population of people having superpowers went from 20% to 80% transcended from the mortal plane, but he still wonders the world watching over his friends and family.

On a cloud floating above the city of Tokyo, Ming Ze watches as his son and daughter complete the Echo Academy's entrance exams.

His son, Ning Ze can be seen blasting through combat robots with invisible shockwaves. His power, 'Utility', allows him to generate any type of skill from cooking skills to fire blasts. (These skills are random)

His daughter, Isabella Mizuno could be seen sprinting down the testing area blasting any combat robots unlucky enough to cross her path. Her power,' light manipulation', can bend the light that touches her to either make herself invisible or shoot light beams or even make temporary constructs with it. (Her power makes it so she flickers in sunlight)

While Ming Ze continues watching his kids excel, a transparent blue screen appears as a disembodied voice speaks.

"You have made a great achievement," the voice said." Because you have forged the way to a better future for your world, you have been rewarded with 3 options for your path going forward.

The transparent blue screen shows three options:

Go to the afterlife where you may rest for eternity with your loved ones.

Be reborn into a new life where you may start over with a clean slate.

Travel the multiverse by playing the eternal game of reincarnation.

These options will be randomly selected.

Tap the screen to start the selection.

Ming Ze looked at the screen with a sad smile," so my time is finally up" He said letting out a sigh." I wanted to see them become heroes. Well beggars can't be choosers so let's get this over with" with his monologue being finished he taps the screen.

The sounds of bells ringing sounds though out the sky making everyone on ground level look up towards the sky all around the world.

As Ming Ze turns around he sees a golden door standing tall behind him. He one last look at Echo Academy, at his family before turning away to walk towards the door. As he approaches the door the transparent blue screen of the raja interface, comes to life, on it one final message.

"Farewell, may we meet again in the next life"

As he stared at the message and smiled." May we meet again indeed." He said as the door closed behind him, the sounds of the bells fading with his departure.

A bright golden light was all he could see. And in the next moment, he was suddenly in what seems to be a corridor. The expanse of gold, white, and blue goes on as far as the eyes can see. "is this, the afterlife." Ming Ze said with amazement lacing his tone.

While he looks around in awe of his surroundings he feels a tug on his mind pulling him in a certain direction. "Huh? Why do I feel like I need to go in this direction". As Ming Ze took his first step in that direction he felt a tug on his mind, he suddenly found himself at some large double doors.

As he stared up at the doors he couldn't help but realize he looked like an ant in front of them, then he suddenly noticed "How the hell did I get here".

While Ming Ze was freaking out, the giant double doors started to open up. "How long do you plan on keeping me waiting human" a booming but calming voice echoes all throughout the corridor.

As surprised as he was at everything that happened so far, plus the new voice that just spoke, he quickly pulled himself together, schooled his features, and entered through the door.

As soon as he entered his eyes started widening to large proportions at what he saw. A large entity that resembled a man sat on the largest throne he had ever seen.

While Ming Ze stared at the entity in awe, the entity spoke, "Welcome, to my realm human" the entity spoke, its voice sounded majestic as it radiated a comforting aura. "My name is impossible for your kind to pronounce. So we will use the name Nexus". The being known as Nexus said while sporting a small smile. "You must be wondering where you are and why you are here, and no, this isn't the afterlife. Do you remember back when your power evolved and achieved sentience".

Ming Ze's eyes widened in realization as it dawned on him "It was you!" He exclaimed.

"Yes it was I, I saw what was happening and decided to give a helping hand, tho I must admit it was entertaining how you utilized it to its fullest extent, HAHAHAHA!!!" Nexus exclaimed loudly, shocking Miguel as the room shook around him as this seemingly all-powerful being laughed.

After a while the laughter stopped and so did the shaking." Well, we should get the important matter over with, do you recall the three options you have received before you entered my realm? Nexus said, amusement lacing his tone.

"Yes I remember and since this isn't the afterlife and if I was gonna be reborn it would most likely be instant, I concluded I'm playing your game of reincarnation?" Ming Ze says looking resigned.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Correct, you're so smart" Nexus exclaimed all the while holding 2 signs that had a thumbs up on them. "Indeed you will be playing my game, you see I love having entertainment. So I usually interfere with the progress of some worlds, either by giving them abilities that slow down advancements or speed them up." He said before he adorned a serious face "You see the worlds I'll be sending you to are worlds my gifts have affected negatively."

"How so?" Ming Ze asked looking serious as well.

"For you to understand I need to explain explain the gift and how it affects this world. So sit back a pay ATTENTION because I'm only explaining this once, then I'm dropping you off." Said Nexus emphasizing the word attention. Without another word, Nexus snapped his fingers and in a split second, a human-sized wooden chair appeared behind Ming Ze.

As Ming Ze took his seat, Nexus began his explanation.

"This world is planet Solis, It's an alternative version of Your planet, Earth. On this planet, Its inhabitants use a unique type of energy, which is called soul energy or simply, anima. They are capable of using their souls as weapons that manifest themselves as what is known as soul Force, But, this is where the negativity begins. Soul energy is split into 3 categories, Holy Force, Darkness Force, and Beast Force, each one gives the user a unique ability, but it's also what puts a wedge between them. The users of holy force dubbed themselves as the Saint faction and their main goal was to eradicate the demons, users of Darkness Force dubbed themselves the Demon faction, and their main goal was to do what they wanted, when they wanted, and the users of the beast force dubbed themselves as the Neutral faction and they just want to live in peace. In light of everything the neutral faction is the better of the three since they accept anyone to join their faction. This world is comprised of different races, these are the Beast, saints, and demons, these are the main races. They have sub-races, but you will learn about that when you get there." As Nexus finishes his explanation he asks "Did you get all that?"

Ming Ze took a moment to answer, finished organizing his thoughts he spoke up "Yeah I get it, you want me to go down and unite all the factions?"

Nexus gave him a wide mischievous smile that sent shivers down his spine "Exactly! But it won't be as simple as rewriting reality. Well, off you go!" As those words left Nexus's mouth a bright light enveloped Ming Ze and before he got the chance to shout in surprise, he was gone.

There was darkness, but it was strange, he could feel everything around him, he could see everything, then without warning, a large black screen with blue lines across the edges appeared in front of him, the screen showing only three words, "we meet again" And without warning, he opens his eyes.

As Ming Ze opens his eyes, he notices he is no longer in the realm belonging to Nexus, he is sitting on a throne of some sort. Before he had the chance to ask where he was, a melodious voice spoke up. "The 20th King has risen!! Everyone show your respect!"

Ming Ze looks forward toward the voice, just so his eyes widen at the sight before him. Hundreds of people were bowing before him. Out of all these hundreds of people, 7 were at the front staring directly at him, their expressions varying. After a minute they all stood, the woman standing at the forefront of these hundreds of people steps forward, she has a 20-year-old appearance with light peach skin with a mole on her right cheek (4 centimeters from her mouth). Waist-length smooth black hair, pink slitted eyes with a motherly smile (kids love her, men want her and girls want to be her). She's wearing black heels.

As Ming Ze took in her appearance, she spoke up, "Greetings my Lord, my name is Vier Dominante, I am one of your most trusted aides."

"Uh, hello Dominante-san, can you tell me where I am, and why did you call me Lord?" Ming Ze asked visibly confused.

"Well you are currently in the underworld, and Lord is just formalities, I mean how else would we speak to the demon king" Vier replies happily like she has done this before.

Ming's reaction, however, was quite the opposite "D-Demon King!!!" he shouted.
