The air was thick with a strange, otherworldly energy as Lucian's consciousness began to fade. The final thoughts he had as his body lay lifeless were ones of regret. His life on Earth had been ordinary, marked by the monotony of work and an absence of anything truly exciting. Yet, as he found himself dissolving into nothingness, he felt a strange sense of peace. It was over.
Then, a voice echoed in the darkness.
"You have been chosen."
Lucian's eyes snapped open, and before him stood a towering figure cloaked in light, the entity smiling down at him with an otherworldly gaze.
"You may choose three wishes. Choose wisely," the figure said, its voice resonating in Lucian's mind.
Lucian thought for a moment, trying to come up with something that could make his new life worth living. Then, it struck him. He wanted power, freedom, and the ability to truly be himself—something that had always eluded him in his past life.
"I wish to be reincarnated in the world of One Piece with a god-like system that can grant me infinite points. I also want to have the ability to unlock my true potential and shape my destiny with no limits. Lastly, I wish for the freedom to live my life the way I want, with the ability to love freely, especially with the men who cross my path."
The entity chuckled. "Done."
Before Lucian could ask more, the world around him spun into darkness once again.
Lucian woke up with a jolt, gasping for air. The first thing he noticed was the overwhelming feeling of power coursing through his body. The air smelled of salt, and the rocking of a ship beneath him told him one thing immediately: he was on a boat in the world of One Piece.
He glanced down at his hands—young, strong, and full of energy. His body had been transformed. No longer was he the ordinary man who had died on Earth. He had been reborn into a world of adventure and infinite possibilities.
The Omniscient System appeared before him in a glowing interface.

Lucian smiled to himself. The power was intoxicating. He wasn't just here to survive—he was here to dominate.
He knew that if he was going to make the most of this life, he would need to develop his relationships carefully. He'd heard the rumors of how the men in One Piece—Zoro, Luffy, and others—were known for their loyalty and strength. The thought of being surrounded by such powerful figures, and maybe even getting closer to them in ways he hadn't experienced in his past life, filled him with excitement.
