Sam glanced around the void and sighed for the nth time. As per the rules, he could not know the number of times he had already reincarnated or how he had fared in those lives. All he knew was which world he was going into.

Sighing again, he spoke to no one in particular, "I want the powers of Gojo Satoru from JJK and have complete control over my Shinigami, Quincy, and hollow powers and I should be able to use my Shinigami powers without going to the soul form." As you all have already guessed, he was headed toward the Bleach world.

Sam started to feel a tug at his soul and surrendered to it.

When I came to, I saw Masaki and Isshin fussing over me. I knew it was going to be a long time before I could use my powers.

When I woke up again, I saw myself in a crib. I knew that at this time, I had no way to train my power right now. All I could do was try to enter my mindscape and try to sense the cursed energy. I don't know the colour of my eyes. I hope they are not blue.

 Today is my fifth birthday. I had not been able to access my powers till now. But as the system awakened, I could see hope. But I had no time to check it. My parents threw a party for me.

After celebrating my birthday, I opened my system. There was a message waiting for me.

[Since the user has not yet sensed his power, you will be provided a technique to enter your mindscape and to sense cursed power. Please buy the rest of the powers or learn them yourself]

[Collect]

I pressed the collect button and a set of memories flooded into me. I got the technique to sense cursed energy and enter my mindscape.

It took me three years to get the hang of the cursed power. Although I could enter my mindscape, I was not able to sense my spiritual power. The lack of progress frustrated me. But after spending one year with cursed power, I could finally use blue.

The first time I used blue, my eyes awakened. Although it should have happened way earlier, the only conclusion that I can draw is that it took me some time to use my spiritual powers as cursed power.

At first, I thought that my cursed power and spiritual powers were from a different powerset but after awakening blue, I found out that I could see the spirit ribbons but I could still not pull out my zanpakuto. But the spirit ribbons felt the same as my cursed power.

I later realized that instead of using cursed power, I was using spirit power as cursed power. This made things a bit difficult for me as well as easier. Once I awaken my infinity, I could have unlimited spiritual power, but till then I had to work with limited spiritual power with my eyes draining a huge amount of spiritual power. The lucky thing is that my eyes are shining orange.

"Dad I can feel some kind of power gathering around my eye that is giving me a headache. The headache lessens when I close my eyes but I can still see." I thought it was time to inform Isshin about my powers.

Masaki was supposed to lose her powers this year, so I had to provide a suitable excuse for saving her. Isshin then took me to the Urahara shop and he performed a checkup on me. Then they went to the back room and had an argument. I'm pretty sure that Urahara wants to train me but Isshin won't allow it.

I don't like Urahara at all. The way he manipulates everything is really nasty. Although he is not as bad as Hiruzen. That monkey was straight-out evil.

I finally arrived at the third year of high school. Nothing much changed for me. The only difference is that I started training with my mother. When my mother lost her power and was attacked by grand fisher, it was instantly obliterated by my blue. But I knew that normal attacks would not damage it much, so I put all my spiritual power into that attack.

I was out for three days after it but it was worth it. With Masaki surviving, I started to learn how to control my Quincy power from her. Today was the weekend. I was going to try to pull my sword today.

After I entered my mindscape, I could see the red spiritual ribbon embedded into a window. I poured all my spiritual power into the ribbon and tried to pull it out. My spiritual power was almost exhausted when the sword came out. It was the same big ass sword that Ichigo got in the original work.

I could see a figure standing in front of me but I could not see him clearly or hear him. I knew that I was still far too weak to actually hear his name. I knew that there was no way that its name was Zangetsu.

I am different from the original Ichigo. So my zanpakuto would also be different from the original. But now is not the time to think about it. As I drew my zanpakuto, Isshin sensing the spiritual pressure came into my room. Seeing my sword, he didn't say anything and just left the room.

There was a tactic understanding in my home. Isshin just ignores anything supernatural and everything else is handled by Masaki. After some time Masaki came into my room and gave me a crash course about being a Shinigami. The good thing was that when I willed the sword to return, it vanished. Now I don't have to worry about carrying a sword everywhere.

Isshin POV

"Ichigo just awakened his Shinigami powers." I was too surprised to respond properly.

"Then go and explain things to him."

"I don't have my powers. And his soul did not leave his body. I don't want to take him to Urahara."

"Fine, I'll go talk to him."

After Masaki left to talk to Ichigo I began thinking. Ichigo never asked if I had powers. And now with the development of his Shinigami powers, he could already guess that I'm a Shinigami. Although he acts nonchalantly, he is truly an intelligent kid.

But the problem is him manifesting his zanpakuto without his soul leaving his body. I don't know if I should take him to Urahara or not. Although he helped me when I needed it, I still don't want to trust my son to him.

The next day Isshin came to my room

"As you would have already guessed, I am a Shinigami, or at least I was. For some reason, I lost my powers. But I'll train you in the ways of Shinigami."

"Thanks dad. It means a lot to me." I said with the biggest smile possible. I liked Isshin. He was willing to face his uncomfortable past to train me. The least I could do was be supportive and grateful.

After that day, every evening Isshin started to train me in zanjutsu, kido, hoho, and hakuda. He wasn't lenient at all. I was badly bruised everyday but the progress showed. I guess he wasn't a captain for nothing.

Under him, I learned to perform kido till the twenties. The rest of the training was also going well except for zanjutsu. For some reason, I could not communicate with my sword at all.

School was also going well. But I had not made moves on Orihime or Tatsuki. It was quite difficult. But right now I had to get stronger. Only after Aizen leaves for hueco mundo can relax. Before that, everything is fair game to him.

Even saving Masaki was a risk. But I guess he doesn't consider us much of a threat. I mean what can we do to him? My dad and mom lost their powers. I'm not powerful enough to threaten his plans.

But I still can't take the risk. Better safe than sorry. It's almost time for Rukiya to arrive in the human world. Just recently I encountered bullies and stopped them from knocking over the flowers.

Suddenly my window opened.

"It's near."

"What's near you idiot?" I kicked Rukiya.
