"Your Excuses Are Just Stories... Rewrite Them" A boy muttered under his breath.
In the dimly lit Toilet, a boy was pissing while going through his favourite novel on his tablet with his little brother in his other hand.
He was scrolling and reading, He looks really tired in the dim light, The flickering screen cast a pale glow, adding to the shadows around him.
His name is Alex, He is an introvert and sadly, he found himself without any close friends to turn to.
he just wanted to find some fun thing that can interest him, which lead him to find the world of novels, games and anime.
From his school days to this day, he had very few sleepy nights since then and much to his fate, today as well, he didn't sleep at all.
He has been reading novels throughout the night in his room and the only reason he finally left the refuge of his room was the urgent need to relieve himself.
He looks like he is sleep-pissing, his eyes were trembling, He was struggling to maintain focus on the words gliding across the tablet screen.
He was losing his focus with each breath; with dull action he zipped his chain and flushed his toilet with heavy eyelids.
A/N: At least he flushed his toilet, unlike someone...
He made his way towards the door.
unexpectedly, his foot found an ill-placed spot on the wet bathroom floor.
"ahh, Wh-" In an instant, he lost his balance, and out of nowhere he slipped, and before he could brace himself bam*
He crashed his head onto the hard surface of the toilet seat, the impact was catastrophic, and he succumbed instantly, leaving behind a tragic scene.
The once mundane toilet transformed into a chaotic mix of horror and blood.

In a dark, red, hell-like place, Alex was seated in front of a very beautiful woman.
She asked in a flirtatious tone, "So, are you ready?"
...
Thirty minutes earlier
A soul was wandering in a bright white sky.
"Where am I? What is this place? Hello, anyone?"
It was Alex, who had recently died.
Suddenly, a black hole-like portal appeared out of nowhere and sucked him in.
"Fuckk" It happened so quickly that he didn't have time to think.
It felt like he was going through a black cloud, like a underwear in a washing machine.
"Ahhh!" After 1-2 minutes, he landed on the black ground.
He was in soul form and didn't have much support.
Floating above the ground, he grabbed his head with both hands and looked around.
He saw a wide purple palace with gold-plated designs on it.
The Golden gate looked marvelous, which was wide enough to let Truck-kun in and Isekai whoever was in that palace.
Two imposing guards detected his presence and began to make their way toward him.
He, too, became aware of their approach as they drew closer, their heavy footsteps echoing in the courtyard.
"Come with us," they ordered with a tone that left no room for argument.
Without offering any reasoning or context for their demand, they strode purposefully into the grand entrance of the palace.
"Wait!" he called out, urgency in his voice as he hurried after them.
They towered at least 8 to 9 feet tall, dwarfing his own stature in comparison.
Despite the fear that began to creep in, he chose to remain silent, suppressing his questions and concerns
'Fuck' He Step got faster as he saw a white lion with chain around his neck.
-what the fuck is going on, did I die? I didn't even get to fuck anyone- Alex moved in fear his eye and much to his disgust his eyes landed on huge asses of guard strolling in front of with their cake. "Damn"
'*Ahem, Fuck, I am Straight, I am Straight'
Inside, it was a beautiful place straight out of a fairy tale, with magical things like green fire, fairies, and floating books.
He kept moving until he saw a throne of purple crystal.
A woman in a sleek black-brown dress with a red gem imprinted was sitting on the throne.
She looked innocent yet had an air of evil beauty, with sharp eyebrow's, plump lips, black-purple hair, and an ancient queen-like hairstyle.
Her beauty was unmatched by anything he had ever seen.
"My queen," the guards intoned with reverence, kneeling down in synchrony in front of her.
Their heads bowed low in a display of fealty and respect.
Yet she did not even spare them a glance, her gaze firmly fixed on Alex.
as if he was the only one that mattered in that moment.
"Leave," she commanded with a tone that brooked no argument.
Her eyes half-closed, heavy with fatigue as if she were battling the urge to succumb to sleep.
With a quick, respectful bow, the guards complied and quietly exited the room, their footsteps fading away into the distance.
'Legendary.. J-jade Beauty?' Alex remained frozen in place.
Captivated by her striking beauty, yet his heart was heavy with concern about the oppressive atmosphere of this place.
She noticed he didn't ask any questions, so she spoke first.
Her voice slightly drowsy. "Alex from Earth, a very lazy and lonely person dumped by his girlfriend because you were lazy and good for nothing. Your mom and dad died in an instant plane crash. You lived your whole life like a dead log on Earth."
Alex was shocked. "Who are you, and how do you know all that?"
"You are on the planet of sin, at the palace of one of the most powerful sins," she said, her eyes lazily fluttering shut between sentences.
"Lust?"
"No."
"Greed?"
"No."
"Envy?"
"No."
"Anger? You did say you're one of the powerful sins," he guessed.
She looked at him, fuming with annoyance despite her half-closed eyes. "I am Sloth."
"Huh? Oh, right, Sloth," he said, looking sideways.
"Are you taking me for a fool? You do know that everyone in your world is lazy?" she said, her voice trailing off as if she might doze off at any moment.
He nodded. "Yeah" He understood what she meant, so he didn't press further.
Fuck he might even die if he tried it. -ohh, I am dead right? maybe I can try'
"Why am I here in the first place? Is this hell?"
"As I said, I am Sloth, your biggest sin. I've been observing you for a while. You've been lazy your whole life, and here I judge if you are worthy of a second chance or not. This is somewhat like hell," she murmured, her voice thick with sleepiness.
"You mean... reincarnation, transmigration, or isekai?" his voice getting louder as he speak.
"Yes and no," she replied, stifling a yawn.
"It all depends on your luck, the luck you cultivate by doing good karma. Come with me." She slowly got up, her movements sluggish as she levitated slightly above the ground, as if walking was too much effort.
She led him to a red balcony near a table. "Sit."
He came and sat like he didn't have any emotion.
'What now?' He looked at her with a small smile with ongoing novels in his dead brain.
She snapped, though it seemed like it took an extra effort, and a transparent football-sized ball appeared in front of him.
"This will calculate your karma and give blessings according to it from your past seven lives."
"If your karma is negative, you will be executed according to the rules," she explained, her voice growing softer as if she might drift off to sleep any second.
He looked at the big ball, seriously 'All is well, All is well'
"So, are you ready?" she asked flirtatiously, her eyes closing completely as she asked the question.
"Yes MAM" He shouted
"Place your hand on this, let's see what you get," she instructed, her voice barely above a whisper.
He placed his hand on it and felt a connection, as time passed, he grew increasingly worried.
The ball started shining brightly.
"Tch" She opened her eyes slightly with annoyance and surprise.
'He made it? hehe.. I got my rat.' She was somewhat excited now as this was her third time to see someone using karmatma and he actually got...
She was recently appointed as a new queen in this barren universe, barely 53 years, as a person from sloth race it was her destiny to loom over everyone's dream.
Alex blinked in disbelief as the shining ball cast a radiant glow around him.
A dark, ominous cloud began to gather above him, swirling and thickening in a way that made the atmosphere feel heavy with foreboding.
With a hint of unease, Alex looked up at the billowing smoke looming over the roof.
"Black? I-I am dead" his voice trembling as he lost all colours.
His eyes trailed slowly to her face "I am going to die right?"
-Sigh- "Here, you can use me, afterall I am going to die" His hand toward his non-existant shirt. -huh-, He slapped his head 'fuck you alex, you are dead'
"hah? -No *Ahem, I mean," she replied, her tone soft yet authoritative despite her drowsiness.
"that you've accumulated significant good karma from your past lives. Enough for not just a second chance, but also some boons."
"Huh? When?" Suddenly Alex beamed like a sunflower.
"*ahem *ahem, So what type of boons" He asked back.
While thinking to himself -G-good deed, when?-
"You can wish for anything to assist you in your next life, but choose wisely—your wishes are limited."
"That smoke above represents the universal spirit that will grant your wish based on your karma," she said, her eyes beginning to droop again.
"Is that so? Hmm," Alex leaned back.
Taking his time to consider every prospect and scenario.
7 minutes Later
A profound warmth started to radiate deep within him, enveloping his very core as the dense black smoke gradually encircled him, seeping into his being at a slow but deliberate pace.
It was an unusual sensation, a mix of comfort and uncertainty, as he felt the shadows draw closer.
"Hehe, brat, you are really something," she said, amused and impressed by his wishes.
She leaned on the table, her cleavage pressing against it.
"Well," Sloth said, leaning back in her chair with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "I've changed my mind about your fate."
"You'll be reincarnated in a unique world strikingly similar to Earth, crafted by one of my creative well-wishers." she paused, her near to close eye blinked a little.
"Your role will be to stir things up and create some delightful chaos in that world."
'huh? huh? huh? are you sure about that?' a strange cocktail of excitement mingled with a touch of trepidation.
"Hmm, Are you really suggesting..." he began, his voice trailing off as his mind wandered to the possibilities, envisioning a grand conflict that could unfold.
"Precisely," she said, smiling.
"But don't think it'll be a walk in the park. This world is full of challenges, and you'll need to use your wits and your boons wisely."
She tapped her finger. "You will have a backstory and some abilities to help you navigate this new life as an extra reward."
"What kind of backstory are we talking about?" Alex asked, suspecting that she was trying to use him.
"You'll find out soon enough," Sloth said, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Consider it part of the fun; take your time. I'll be back in a minute." With that, she levitated above the ground, her hands and legs dangling, and moved outside the door.
A look of deep contemplation crossed his face as he reclined, considering every possibility that could lead to his downfall before it even started.
The woman exemplified sloth, one of the seven deadly sins 'if she said something like that, then I have to believe it and ..as for chaos?'
"With great power-" He stood up, filled with dread, and moved toward the balcony.
"Comes great res- huh?" Gazing at the night sky, he saw two moons and three unknown planets, taken aback by the astonishing scene before him.
"Hmm?" His eyes fell on a small golden tree on the balcony, surrounded by a green barrier that seemed to protect it.
"tch, That green barrier might be protecting it, I am no fo-"
'Huh?' much to his Suprise a golden seed like fruit fell, rolling outside the barrier.
Three minutes later
He returned to his seat. "So?" Sloth asked.
"oh, yes, you were saying something?" He snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at her.
*Ahem With a sudden burst of straightening up, he turned his eyes toward her captivating, closed gaze.
"Is there, perhaps, such a thing as a Heavenly Child, or maybe a protagonist—someone who possesses extraordinary luck that sets them apart from the rest?" he asked, his tone laced with curiosity.
"Huh," she responded, her eyes widening in surprise as they met his.
Alex was equally taken aback, for he felt as though he were peering into profound depths of pure darkness or an overwhelming nothingness as she cautiously opened her eyes just a fraction, an otherworldly black allure radiating from her.
"Good, good! Thank you for the reminder," her voice drowsy yet assertive.
"And yes," she added, a sleepy smile creeping across her lips as a shimmering wisp began to drift from her fingertip toward Alex, adding an ethereal glow to the dim surroundings.
A sense of dread-tinged Alex's excitement. "Ah! What was that? You—" he began to ask.
"Uhh" But his words were abruptly cut short as he felt something pierce through the center of his forehead, sending waves of confusion spiraling through his mind.
"Now, don't be a crybaby about it. This is just a small gift, nothing to get upset over. With this, you'll have the ability to detect the Heavenly Child," Sloth continued, interrupting Alex before he could voice his objections.
Before he had a chance to protest further, she waved her hand in a dismissive manner, and a shimmering portal suddenly opened up right beside him.
"It's time for your new adventure to begin. Good luck, Alex. You're going to need it," she said with a hint of mischief in her tone.
"Wait, what about—" Alex started to say, but his words were cut short as he felt himself being pulled into the portal against his will.
-Behenchoooo- A swirling sensation enveloped him as the world he knew began to blur into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and shapes.
His only regret was that he couldn't scroll through his novel stack again...
