Chapter 2: The god of fiction
::------------::
Chapter#2
"Where the heck am I? I guess I lost to the bomb huh? Well that sucks."
I had a feeling of dredge pulling me down in an endless abyss of water as I thought to myself.
"Can you hear me? Hey can you hear me?" I heard a sound which pulled me away from my slumber.
I stood up as I scrubbed my eyes. They felt a little heavy and were swollen. I guess I was a sleep for a long time now.
"Aha
welcome back! I thought for a second there you would fail me after giving you such a second chance. That would be quiet humiliating don't you think?." A small man with a white outfit, a white mustache and a long beard with no hair was floating above me.
I looked at him with a confused face and he noticed that I was staring at him as if asking him who the hell was this creepy old hag?
He cleared his throat then spoke." Let me introduce myself, I am the god of all fiction and it's nice to meet a brave soul like you Mr Battilis."
"How does he know who I am? And what's up with his title. God of fiction? Have heard of most gods but his the joke of all gods have ever heard." A train of thought passed in my brain.
( The god of fiction pov)
"Hmmmmm."
I guess this is all hard for him to process but his a strange one. I thought anyone who would see me would be excited and all jumpy to see a special god like I.
I can grant all fan fantasies to anyone but I guess he has no clue of who I am.
Well I better make him get to know me first after I explain somethings to him.
" Am aren't you not excited to meet me?" The god inquired.
"The word excited may be a strain. In my opinion I would prefer a god of war who may gave me the blessings of sending me to Valhalla." I replied with annoyance dotted on my face.
A streak of sweat dropped on the god's face as he did not expect such a reply.
"You know I can grant you all the wishes and reincarnate you in any world you ever desired. Just think of how many powerful foes you would face. The thrill of crashing with the mightiest would be quiet fun wouldn't?" The god muttered to me with a contented look likely a boast of his power.
"Yeah that sounds fun but wait. How do I know that you are not lying to me? And why did you choose me of all people to be given this opportunity. I know you had more options to consider from." My words attracted his attention. I was a guy who didn't believe in fantasies at all. They were all a construct of those who found no meaning in reality.
"Yeah you are right, but when you faced that bomb head on, I was thrilled by it and thought of everything you could achieve if you had abilities beyond imagination. You were the bravest warrior have ever come across."
" So it was all just for the thrill huh. Does he know the difference between being psycho and brave?." I thought to myself.
I was then struck by a surprise. A blue holographic icon popped infront of my eyes. It had different characters embedded on it. All of them looked familiar.
" The characters you see are all fictional and were not real in your previous world. You can choose any world you wish and abilities and you shall acquire them." The small old man adviced me.
I had to think this through well. After a few minutes of thinking I chose my favorite universe, the DC universe.
Then the screen changed after I pressed and now they were different characters displayed on the screen. Many displayed on the screen had insane broken abilities but I ended up choosing isshiki.
It doesn't matter the magnitude of someone's abilities, but it all lies on how they utilize them and isshiki' abilities fitted the description well.
"What a good choice. I was right to settle on you. Now all you have to do is step forward and I shall send you to your designated world. In addition I will grant you an assistant at your hand." The god retorted, stretched his arms and what seemed like dancing light colours covered my body making me levitate and the next I knew I was standing in some kinda of a city with luminating lights all over .
I gazed around the area with a bewildered look of where the shit am I. I thought that all that stufg about reincarnation was just a jest but guess what?
I touched my face for more assurity that it was all real or the damn god was playinh a prank on me.
I had a chiseled face, with a slender nose and my hair was all shaggy and dark colored with some hanging at my forehead. I looked normal with a broadened chest and my abs were boasting under the tight white shirt I wore.
The only thing that seemed remarkable and noticing was I looked kinda of young, almost a teen of 17 years old. My height was shorter, standing at 5'8 not like my normal 6'3 height.
"System rebooting" I heard a lady robotic voice in my head. It struck me by surprise.
"System will check your current location." The lady voice added.
"Your position is currently at central city." The system inquired showing me my current location.
Wow this was too fun to ignore. I was in the fucking DC world but still, I don't know if I got isshiki's abilities at all.
A thought crossed my head and I decided to try it. I had read a lot of web novels based on systems. I guess when the god said all that crap of an assistant he met a system. That seemed normal,why did I not think of it before?
"System, check my status?" I asked with grotesque expression of anticipation.
" Request processed"
A blue holographic screen popped on my eyes. It showed my current attributes.

I checked my abilities and I was impressed by the high stats.
It was not bad at all. With intense training I could make become one of the strongest entities on this universe.
Suddenly, I heard a boom from afar which caught my attention. My senses were all enhanced to another level.
The sound of a crush continued for some time and I ran towards the location of impact.
A man was sent flying towards my direction but I managed to catch him before he could fall.
He wore a red and yellow suit with a lightning symbol embedded on his chest. I recognized him on a go, kid flash.
"Aaah,those subzero levels of temperatures are kinda of making me catch a cold." Kid flash remarked as he held his head.
I helped him get back to his feet by holding him. He was probably knocked down by a powerful foe indeed.
My senses kicked in and I saw a red figure running on our way with supersonic speed leaving a blur of himself.
He stopped on his tracks when he came to our view.
"Kid are you okay?" Flash asked with a sign of worry for his sidekick.
"Yeah am alright. This guy over here helped me by shielding me before I fell." He remarked.
"Talk about more of crushing on me" I mumbled silently.
If I was a regular civilian he would render me unconscious by colliding with me. Lucky for him I was not.
"Hey buddy, thank you for aiding me." Kid flash inquired.
How long did he take just to say that?
In the midst of our talk, something like a cold shot was ranging on us. The two speedsters reacted quickly by evading it but I just stood there not even fazed by the incoming attacks.
Tattoos started forming on my left hand to my left eye, I stretched my arm to intercept the cold assault.
The ice got absorbed when it came in contact with my hand.
I could have evaded the onslaught but the civilians running away could be caught by the ice and frozen on instant.
When did I even start worrying about other people? I guess to tell the truth I was thinking eager to test my powers.
Flash and kid flash had bewildered looks on their faces. They could not believe what just happened. I just absorbed the cold through my karma seal.
"What just happened? Who are you and how are you not frozen by my gun?" Captain cold debarked with awe. This has never happened before, it was something he could not understand either. His cold just disappeared when it kissed my palm.
A train of thought was flooding on his mind on either to retreat or not. Flash was helping people to secure them in a safe place while kid flash shotted towards Leonard snart. But before he could reach him, the novice had shot another attack at the ground freezing it.
It became slippery for kid flash to move and he ended up falling on his face as he tried to balance himself from kissing the ice cold ground.
(Leonard snart pov)
"I can't stand for this. I must retreat and regroup myself before I launch another assault. I was not aware they had another kid hero to help them."
I could not let him escape that easily. I lunged forward like a bullet fired out of its rifle cracking the ice cold ground and dug a fist on his stomach making him cough blood losing consciousness.
I was too fast for him to even anticipate my incoming attacks on him.
