Third-Person POV
A young man, aged 21, was walking on the side of the road when an unexpected event occurred. A billboard, advertising a movie and attached to a wall, came loose and fell on him, claiming his life.
In an eternal plane of iridescent colors, a transparent blue orb hovered. Time passed, though how much was impossible to discern. Initially, the young man was scared upon arriving in this mysterious place. However, as time moved on, he began revisiting his memories—both good and bad. He recalled movies, TV shows, anime, books, comics, and theories he had watched, read, and understood during his life. To pass the time, he rewatched, reread, and analyzed these works repeatedly. He became fascinated with the intricate webs of plots and the vast number of universes contained in the works that once brought him joy. Just as he was about to delve deeper into a theory about attraction and repulsion forces, a blinding golden light flashed, and he found himself transported to an indescribable place.
The space around him seemed alive with energy. Colors and patterns shifted constantly, constantly creating and disappearing in a mesmerizing dance. At the center of this space, standing on what could only be described as a pedestal of light, was a powerful figure radiating an ethereal glow. The figure's presence was overwhelming, yet soothing, and the very air around them vibrated with an unearthly beauty. The figure looked down at the young man with kind eyes, their gaze both welcoming and distant.
"Hello," a voice echoed, both powerful and gentle, filling the space. "My name is… εβλμσθζ."
The moment the name left the figure's lips, the blue orb that surrounded the young man reacted violently, pulsing and whirling in a display of agony. The young man instinctively recoiled, his body reacting to an immense pressure in the air. The figure immediately noticed and apologized.
"Oops! I forgot you mortals cannot handle our true names. You may call me Celestia, the Goddess of Heavenly Stars and Rebirth."
The overwhelming aura of the figure's name receded, and the young man found himself able to breathe again, his confusion replaced with a sense of awe.

First-Person POV
I blinked a few times, still processing the surreal situation. Everything seemed so vast, so alien, yet I felt oddly safe. My voice, which had been trapped in my throat, now spilled out. "Why am I here, Go...Good...Goddess?"
The words came naturally, as though they had always been there, waiting to be spoken.
Celestia's smile softened as she spoke, her voice like a gentle breeze that whispered through the stars. "Do not be confused," she said. "You are able to speak because of my presence."
I was still processing the enormity of the situation when she continued, her tone shifting slightly. "I must apologize for your untimely death. The God of Reincarnation forgot about you, and by mistake, you remained in the Plane of Radiance—a place where all colors come into existence—for approximately 3.4 billion human years. During this time, your world, Earth, was destroyed when the Milky Way Galaxy merged with Andromeda."
Her words hit me like a freight train. I had died, but Earth—my home—was gone. The very world I had once known had ceased to exist. I struggled to comprehend her words, my mind reeling.
Celestia continued, her voice tender but firm. "All human and animal souls have been placed in your world's Heaven, but metaphorically speaking, the door to that realm is now sealed for the next billion years."
A heavy silence fell between us as her words sank in. The thought of my loved ones, my friends, my family, all trapped in a distant, unreachable realm, was almost too much to bear.
My voice trembled as I asked the question that had been haunting me since her arrival. "What about me? When will I see my friends again?"
Celestia's expression softened, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I am sorry," she replied. "But instead of reuniting with them, I will grant you three wishes, as you have read in the fanfiction and novels stored in your memories."
The offer stunned me into silence. Three wishes? This felt like something out of one of those stories I had read, but it wasn't just fiction anymore—it was real. I had to make a decision, and I had to make it wisely.
"Three wishes?" I managed to ask, though I still couldn't wrap my head around the concept. "How will this work? Do I choose them, or will you?"
"You will choose one wish yourself," the Goddess explained. "The other two will be decided by spinning a wheel. However, there is a cost. You will partially lose your memories of your past life, including your self-identity and everything tied to it."
Her words were a harsh reality. Memories, my sense of who I was—could I really give that up? But, as I looked into her serene face, I knew that I had little choice. This was an opportunity to start anew, to live a different life, one with the chance of doing things I had always dreamed of but never had the courage to pursue.
"Fine," I said, gathering my resolve. "Let's spin the wheel first."

Third-Person POV
With a wave of her hand, Celestia conjured a multicolored wheel that shimmered in the air before the young man. It was a magnificent sight—vibrant colors blended together, forming a kaleidoscope of light.
"I will spin first," Celestia said, her voice calm and assured.
She flicked her wrist, and the wheel spun rapidly, its colors blurring into a vortex of motion. Time seemed to stretch as the wheel slowed, finally halting with a soft click. The text that appeared read:
Universe: Naruto. Elder Brother: Firstborn of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze.
The young man's eyes widened in shock, and his mind reeled. "Are fictional universes real?" he blurted out, still processing the sheer enormity of the situation.
Celestia, understanding his confusion, answered with a knowing smile. "Yes," she replied, her voice like a calming lullaby. "Your world's writers dreamed of these universes because of quantum molecular asymmetries and the flow of informational particles between realms. There are countless universes in this multiverse and even more in the omniverse. Do not be surprised if another universe views your world as their entertainment, just as you viewed theirs."
The young man's thoughts were in a whirl, but he managed to collect himself. "Okay," he said, more to himself than to the Goddess. "I want a loving family. I never had one in my past life. Please make sure Minato and Kushina don't die during the Nine-Tails attack. Also, I want to be five years older than Naruto, the same age as Itachi."
Celestia nodded, her expression gentle but amused. "A bit demanding, but acceptable. Now for your second spin."
The wheel spun again, the colors flashing by in a blur. It slowed and stopped once more, revealing the next wish:
Create an S-Grade Dōjutsu of your own design.
The young man raised an eyebrow, a slight grin tugging at his lips. "What kind of abilities can I include?" he asked, intrigued.
"Think of powers like the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the Six Eyes, Lelouch's Geass, Byakugan, or even Violet's Glare Glare Fruit. You can combine or create entirely new abilities," Celestia explained.
The young man's mind raced as he considered the possibilities. Finally, he spoke, his voice filled with determination. "I want the following abilities for my Dōjutsu:
1. Chakra Perception: The ability to see chakra flow in extraordinary detail, including weaknesses and blockages.
2. Precise Chakra Efficiency Control: Perfect control and usage of chakra, ensuring no wastage, amplifying jutsu power, and enabling advanced techniques like medical ninjutsu with minimal effort.
3. Amplification: Boosts the power, speed, and accuracy of all jutsu up to threefold.
4. Enhanced Vision: Provides super HD vision, enhanced depth perception, and high-speed object tracking, see through most objects and barriers.
5. Genjutsu Immunity: Complete immunity to most forms of genjutsu.
6. Insight and Understanding: Unparalleled clarity in understanding any fighting style or jutsu.
7. Attraction and Repulsion: Can manipulate both attraction and repulsion forces.
8. Energy-based Telekinesis: The manipulation of chakra to move objects or people without direct contact."
Celestia listened attentively, nodding in approval. "Impressive choices."
"For my third wish," the young man continued, his voice unwavering, "I want a perfect Sage Body, Gojo Satoru's talent but don't let the world expand like how Gojo Satoru's birth force the JJK world to grow to handle him, Uzumaki chakra reserves, the Mind's Eye of Kagura, Uzumaki healing factor, chakra constructs like the angels from High School DxD, and affinities to Time-Space, Yin-Yang, elements alongside the elements I will get from my parents."
The Goddess smiled, her face glowing with approval. "Your wishes are ambitious, but granted. Farewell, and good luck in your new life."
With a graceful wave of her hand, the young man was enveloped in a cocoon of light. The final image he saw was Celestia's serene expression, her aura a warm, radiant glow that filled the vastness of the realm.
Then, darkness took him, and the journey of his new life began. '
