A young man lies on his bed in a small, cluttered room, surrounded by posters of his favorite anime series and stacks of manga. Sunlight filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. He is deeply engrossed in reading the latest chapter of Fairy Tail. "Ah, another exciting chapter," he says with a grin, setting the manga aside. With a sigh, he glances at the clock on his wall. Time waits for no one, and he knows he has to get ready for work.
Standing up, he stretches his arms and glances at himself in the mirror. With his tousled black hair and striking light blue eyes, he stands at 180 cm tall. He throws on a black t-shirt featuring his favorite character and pairs it with well-worn blue jeans. After a quick comb-through of his hair, he grabs a jacket adorned with patches and slips on his sneakers, each step echoing his excitement. "Another day at the grind," he mutters to himself, shaking his head as he opens the front door.
As he steps outside, the familiar sights and sounds of the city greet him. The streets are bustling with morning commuters, cars honking, and the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from a nearby bakery. "Oh well, same thing every day," he sighs, but a part of him yearns for something exciting to happenâsomething beyond the monotony of his daily routine.
Lost in his thoughts, he approaches a traffic light and suddenly hears a loud scream piercing the air. Alarmed, he looks around and sees a young girl lying in the street, her eyes wide with fear. Time seems to slow as adrenaline surges through his veins. Without thinking, he rushes toward her, determined to save her. He pushes her out of the way just in time, but as he does, a massive truck barrels toward him. He barely has time to react before he hears a deafening horn and everything goes black.
When he comes to, he finds himself enveloped in darkness. Confused and disoriented, he wonders, "Where am I? Did I really die?" The silence is overwhelming, and he feels a strange sensationâalmost like floating through an endless void.
"Yes, you did," a voice suddenly interrupts his thoughts. He jumps in surprise, scanning the void for the source. "Who are you?" he asks, his voice trembling.
"I am here, my boy," the voice replies soothingly. An old man materializes before him, his presence calming yet authoritative. The man's eyes sparkle with wisdom, and he carries an air of timelessness. "Are you what we always call a Rob?" the young man asks, curiosity piqued.
"Yes, that's me, my boy," the man answers with a slight smile, his demeanor warm and inviting.
"Since I'm already dead, what will happen to me?" he inquires, trying to make sense of his surreal situation.
"You will either be reborn or go to heaven. It depends on the karma points you've accumulated during your life," he explains, his tone serious yet compassionate.
"Okay, how many karma points do I have?" the young man asks, a mix of hope and anxiety fluttering in his chest.
"Let me check," Rob says, closing his eyes in concentration. Moments later, he opens them again, a glimmer of respect in his gaze. "You've gathered many karma points throughout your life, but most of them were earned at the time of your death."
"Wait," he says, realization dawning on him. "Does that mean the girl I saved is very important in my world?"
"Yes, indeed. That girl was meant to die, but your rescue has brought about world peace and immortalized you in it," Rob replies, a hint of pride in his voice. "Your actions not only saved her life but altered the course of destiny."
"Wow, that's surprising," he says, astonished, his mouth agape. "Does that mean I will be reborn in another world?" His heart races at the thought of a new life filled with adventure, a stark contrast to his mundane existence.
"Yes, my boy, and you have six wishes with no restrictions," Rob states, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Oh, then I wish for an improved solo leveling system, a 10,000 times multiplicative skill, a multiverse worlds system, an instant mastery skill, unlimited system points, and I want to be reborn in the Fairy Tail world near Selene," he declares, excitement bubbling within him as he looks at Rob, visions of magic and adventure dancing in his mind.
"OHOHOH!" the old man laughs heartily, his laughter echoing in the void. "Those are very interesting wishes, and they are all permitted. Now, that's settledâoff you go to your new adventure!" he says, waving his hand dramatically.
"Thank you!" the young man exclaims, gratitude flooding his heart. But before he can say more, he loses consciousness again, the world around him fading away.
As he drifts into the unknown, vivid visions of the Fairy Tail world fill his mindâvibrant towns with colorful marketplaces, magical creatures soaring through the skies, and heroes embarking on epic quests. He imagines himself standing beside powerful mages, sharing laughter and facing challenges together. The thrill of adventure tingles in his veins as he is transported to his favorite world.
In his last moments of consciousness, he recalls the friendships he's always admired and dreams of forming his own bonds in this new life. "What an intriguing young man," he hears Rob say in the distance. "We will meet again in the future, but until then, enjoy your new life!"
As the darkness fades, he feels a rush of warmth enveloping him, and for the first time, he truly feels alive.
