In an endless white void, a single soul drifted aimlessly. It had no form, no weight, yet a strange awareness lingered—an understanding that something had gone terribly wrong.
Before the soul, an old man stood with an apologetic expression. He had a long white beard, a robe shimmering with cosmic light, and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. The old man sighed, rubbing his temples as if dealing with an annoying paperwork error.
"I deeply apologize for this mistake," the old man said with an air of regret. "I didn't mean to kill you."
The soul, despite lacking a physical form, somehow managed to convey shock. "What do you mean, 'kill me'?!"
The old man coughed awkwardly. "Well... you see, I was observing the world, keeping track of life and death, when I accidentally... deleted your life string." He sighed again. "Think of it as an administrative error. A slip of the hand, if you will."
Kaito Aizawa, the soul that had once been a man, felt his nonexistent heart drop. "You mean... I died because you pressed the wrong button?!"
The old man, who now revealed himself to be none other than God, nodded gravely. "Yes, quite unfortunate. But before anything else, what was your name?"
"Kaito Aizawa." His response was automatic, though the absurdity of the situation left him reeling.
"Kaito Aizawa... right. Once again, I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Normally, deaths follow a proper process, but your case is... well, unique."
Kaito took a moment to process this. "Can't you just send me back?" he asked, still holding onto some hope.
God shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Your soul has already left your world, and according to the rules, I cannot return it. Not to mention, your body no longer exists."
Kaito felt frustration bubble within him. "So what now? Am I going to be judged and sent to heaven or hell or whatever?"
God chuckled. "No, no. That would be too harsh, considering the circumstances. Instead, I will reincarnate you into another world and compensate you for this... unfortunate incident."
Kaito raised a metaphorical eyebrow. "Reincarnate me? Into what kind of world?"
God smiled. "A world of swords and magic."
Kaito's thoughts raced. He had read plenty of fantasy stories before, where people were reborn in magical worlds with special abilities. "Alright... that doesn't sound too bad," he admitted. "Will I get any special perks? Or do I start from zero?"
God nodded. "To make up for my mistake, I will grant you a boost in abilities and a longer lifespan. You will also receive unique skills tailored to your previous life's talents."
Kaito, a seasoned programmer in his past life, frowned. "My previous talents? You mean coding?"
God chuckled. "Yes, exactly. But you'll understand more once you arrive. Now, let's prepare your new body."
Before Kaito could respond, his vision was engulfed in radiant light. A strange warmth surrounded him, his soul shifting, reshaping. For a moment, he felt weightless—like he was being rewritten line by line, adjusted by some divine programmer. Then everything went dark.
When Kaito opened his eyes, he found himself lying beneath the shade of a massive tree. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, a gentle breeze rustling the branches. The air smelled fresh, cleaner than anything he had ever breathed before.
He pushed himself up, feeling solid ground beneath him. He glanced down and noticed he was wearing his old clothes—jeans, a t-shirt, and his signature black zipped hoodie. He ran a hand through his hair, surprised at how smooth and thick it felt. He felt... younger.
"Wait a minute... did I get de-aged?" Kaito muttered, his voice sounding slightly different. "Well, I guess this is better than being reborn as a baby."
He took a moment to assess his surroundings. A lush forest stretched out in all directions, the sound of distant birds filling the air. The trees looked enormous, some with glowing blue veins running through their bark. It was nothing like Earth.
"So this is my new world..." Kaito whispered in awe. But before he could take another step, a translucent blue window popped up in front of him.
[SYSTEM INITIALIZING...]
Kaito blinked. "A system? Just like in video games?"
The words on the screen changed.
[Welcome, Kaito Aizawa. You have been granted the title: "The Divine Debugger"]
[Unique Skills Unlocked:]
System Administrator – Access to system logs and status manipulation. Debug Mode – Detect and fix errors in magic and objects.
Skill Programming – Create, modify, or combine abilities.
Reality Patch Update – Alter minor world mechanics.
God's Console – Access a limited developer menu.
Kaito stared at the list, his mind struggling to process the implications. "Holy... I can actually manipulate the system?! This is insane!"
Excitement rushed through him as he scrolled through the menu. This was exactly like debugging a game, except the game was reality itself.
A mischievous grin spread across his face. "Alright, let's see what I can do with this..."
And thus, Kaito Aizawa's new life in a world of swords and magic began—only this time, he wasn't just another reincarnated hero.
He was the one holding the code.
