(Previously)
Just as I was about to rant about One punch man and My hero academia next, I felt a chill at the first symbol of light in front of me....
There was a blue rectangular screen materializing in front of me....it held the words that made me stop my thought process all together....yet it still made me feel traumatized by how it was coming into being, as if it was glitching to existence....fucking hell....
{Do you want to live?
>Yes
>No}
Well, things just got even more confusing...I just hope my parents are fine....hopefully my brother takes care of them....sigh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(MC POV)
The question about if I wanted to live.....Honestly, the intense desire I felt before dying leaned overwhelmingly towards the 'yes' option.
But, Right now, I didn't feel anything, not even the fear of death. It was honestly a wonder how I even felt a chill when this screen started materializing.....
Just as I was about to go into deep philosophical thoughts about my situation, the words changed without my consent.
{>Yes option has been selected due to default protocols.
Select mode of living----
>Reincarnation
>Rebirth
>Time travel
>Transmigration
>....}
I was shocked just for about a mere second and was about to go through the options, since whatever thing this is really putting me on a timer.
And before I could even read the 3rd option, the screen changed again, in it's own glitchy way.
{>Random chosen due to direct protocols. Igniting and running simulation...
Select the Reality to go in-
>#R_27894590e276403765t
>#R_2948757f7939834770b
>........}
The list just went on and on. It was clear that this shitty thing isn't giving me a choice. It was probably regulated by some other thing, or whatever encompasses it. Sigh, I seriously hope it ain't the world of Berserk or Chainsaw man, or Jujutsu Kaisen.....those are really hard as fuck to survive in. Heck, even MHA would be shitty. Especially the timeline shit. And this was assuming that these random numbers and letters have these worlds somewhere in between.
Maybe there would be a world which is simply heaven. That would be the best one. Alas, I couldn't find any relevance to the numbers and letters in the list to the type of words in just mere moments....and like I thought, it chose for me. The glitchy text transformed into new letters available for my comprehension.
{>J_101184893j653998467389k reality chosen at random due to the recent memories of the specific individual. Categorized as Jujutsu kaisen. Data updated in the Files.
Chosen Reality classifies as Type 1486. Protocols enabling selection of singular perks according to the verse.
Choosing randomly.....}
A heavy grating sound accompanies those words. If I had ears, I'd probably close them and run away from here, but unfortunately I had to go through it, not like I had a choice.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a fucked up world, but not as fucked up as some of the others, if I just move to another country, I'd be fine since Tengen's barriers prevented most of the big shits from breaking out of japan,.....but did I want to? Didn't I want my life to become more exciting? Didn't I want to live better?....
Maybe it was this sound that was making me crazier, or maybe I was crazy all along, but I made a promise to myself at that moment.....If I had a better than average chance of becoming a powerhouse in the world of jujutsu sorcery, I'll take that path and focus on it. If I didn't, I'll do anything to get off of Japan, if I was even born in it in the first place.
Since I already would be having a head start in studies if I ever decide to pursue that, I'd just simply live the life of a small genius in the side of the world.....Ugghhh, why do I feel my desire of becoming a sorcerer becoming higher and higher.....sigh.....I guess, even if it's foolish, I've already died, what more is there to happen? Torture? Well yeah.....
Well, I'll look at things further once all this is over. The words start changing as the grating noise stops....
{>'Blessed by Cursed energy' Trait has been engraved on the soul of the individual. Click to view.}
I read the words quickly and for the first time since this whole shit show started, I was finally able to interact with it after focusing intensely on viewing the info. Finally something I was able to do.....sigh.
{ Trait: Blessed by Cursed Energy.
Average number of people (Across the world) the trait materializes in, per century: 120.
Way to acquire the trait: Be born with it.
Effects: More favored by Cursed energy, allowing the people born with it to be better at learning various application of CE easier.
Special Effect: The amount of cursed energy the individual is born with increases substantially, along with the limit of the CE output user is capable of.
Current known acquirers according to Individual's memory: Yuta Okkotsu, Sukuna #$#@%, Cursed spirit Rika.}
Well shit. This is not that bad I guess. My gaze noticed how sukuna's family name was blurred out, probably cuz I didn't know his surname. If there is some other reason, I wouldn't know anyway.
Well this just made my drive to become a sorcerer higher.....Anyway, I can categorize this as genuinely increasing my cursed energy to insane level without any restriction to my physique , otherwise Kokichi Muta, better known as Mechamaru would've also been there. So, it's basically a trait without a downside.....quite good I guess.....
Mechamaru had a heavenly restriction on him so it was pretty obvious that he wouldn't be on the known acquirers of the trait.....makes sense I suppose.
I can at least say that I'll have potential of at least becoming a grade 1, even if I don't get a proper cursed technique....well, if I train hard as fuck that is. Cuz I know how easy it was to waste potential due to my previous life....My past self was the prime example of it after all.
Before I can reminisce more about my past life, The screen started glitching more and the text changed....
{Choosing character to be born in due to the selected mode of reincarnation (Random)
Spinning...}
The heavy grating sound came again, harder than ever before and this time I didn't have chance to think anymore as I suddenly felt a searing pain, as if something sucking your whole body out of a vacuum, which made me cry, hard.....and this time I could feel my mouth releasing sound and I was even able to actually hear it, even if it was so weird.
Holy shit!.....I tried opening my eyes, but my body didn't obey and just flailed around. I felt so small and weak. Whatever I could hear was jumble of words. Nothing was coherent as I simply cried and wailed.
(3rd POV)
September 23, 2000. Uchiko city, Kato Hospital, on the 3rd floor. (About 398 km from kyoto and 840km from tokyo)
There were a few nurses and doctors congratulating a woman who was currently looking at her newborn baby. She looked so relieved while looking at her child. Her warm motherly warmth caressed her child as she whispered into his ears-
"Your name shall be Todo.....Aoi Todo, my own little sunshine....I bet your father would've been so happy to have held you.....but I guess he'll have to be content with watching us from the heavens." She chuckled as she stroked the baby's little head and hugged the little guy.
And that's how a future monster was replaced by another monster of an even greater magnitude....
~end chapter~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to research about Todo's parents and the like, but I couldn't find it. So, I'll cook up my own plot. Anyway, the location and the hospital shit took me about 30 minutes to perfect. Since we don't know about todo's city or his childhood, I'll cook up some plot. It'll probably take around a few chapters.....
Vote for if you want Yuki to still be his mentor or not. (Plot changes drastically if you choose otherwise.)
Also Vote for a love interest. And don't say takada chan since she is an idol and this is not really 'our' Todo. It'll be quite unrealistic and coincidental to fall for her.
Tell me how I made the chapter, and what I can improve on in the comments.
Do comment though, since the most joy I'd get as a writer is interacting with y'all and seeing your comments, so yeah....it'll also give me some kind of motivation.
