[Congratulations, Mr. Vladimir Alexander.]
A cold, robotic voice echoed in the infinite void.
[You have been selected by ### to be reincarnated in a random universe with a randomly drawn advantage.]
[If you refuse, know that ### will not grant you a new life and you will be left to the eternal cycle of reincarnation.]
"What the hell is this shit?"
I couldn't prevent my honest thoughts from escaping my lips in the face of the absurd situation before me.
"And why am I still conscious? And where am I?"
I tried to stand up, but failed miserably since there was literally no ground under my feet.
Below me, an abyssal void stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Shit!!! I don't even have feet!!"
[Alert!!!]
[Alert!!!]
[Alert!!!]
[It has been detected that the subject named Vladimir Alexander is confused and attempting to reject the situation.]
[Initiating information transfer process and situation clarification.]
'What the hell is happening!!'
A flood of information penetrated my mind in a ridiculously short period of time, including elements such as the identity of ###.
I was also explained why I was plunged into darkness facing a holographic panel straight out of a science fiction movie.
[Information transfer successfully completed.]
"I understand better now... and shit."
I could only swear in the face of this absurd reality.
According to my knowledge drawn from various light novels and isekai manga, I was clearly screwed.
To summarize, after my "death" caused by an unknown truck on Earth, I had been selected by a being named ###, with the purpose of entertaining it and calming its boredom.
I frowned at this cruel truth, but I had no choice but to grit my teeth and move forward.
Vladimir Alexander died at the hands of an irresponsible truck driver.
I must now turn the page and try to obtain something beneficial before my next life.
[Mr. Alexander, please confirm acceptance of the agreement proposed by ###.]
"Yes, I accept," I simply replied, literally having no other choice.
I didn't want to be subjected to the reincarnation cycle.
I didn't know if ### was lying, but I didn't want to play with my very existence.
I may be a madman, but not an idiot!!
[Acceptance from Mr. Vladimir Alexander sent...]
[Mr. Alexander ' acceptance has been confirmed.]
[Universe search launching...]
[Selected universe: Lookism +.]
"Can you explain what this '+' is?" I asked, slightly nervous.
I knew the Lookism manhwa, but this "+" sign awakened my instinctive suspicion.
[The "+" marks the existence of other affiliated narratives or attached to the Lookism universe...]
"So, I'm going to reincarnate into a multiverse?" I asked for confirmation.
[The term crossover is more accurate...]
"Wait a minute, a crossover??"
"That means multiple stories, included or associated with Lookism?"
[Yes, but please note that they will all be of a similar nature.]
[You will understand once you're there.]
"I see," I said calmly after digesting the absurd information I had just heard.
The Lookism universe is already difficult, especially with characters possessing superhuman strength, but I can still manage.
I just need to get a good advantage from ###.
My only concern is the "+".
You have to understand that the Lookism universe includes supernatural entities.
Damn, there was even a ghost who fell for the appearance of Daniel's perfect body!
So, I can't help but be a bit worried.
"Can I receive my advantage now?" I stated, crossing my fingers in my mind.
I could say that 80% of my future depended on it, and I sincerely hoped to get something good.
I didn't want to live a new ordinary life in one of my favorite universes.
I had literally seen isekai stories where protagonists suffered horribly because of a useless starting power, or even a curse!!
I want to be an overpowered guy, so please, Mr. ####...
[Launching advantage acquisition...]
[You have obtained: Supernatural Training App.]
[Skill rank: Unknown.]
[Description: A supernatural application allowing precise tracking of any training. However, you will need karmic points to unlock certain options.]
"A supernatural mobile app?" I repeated, surprised but somewhat satisfied nonetheless.
As a manhwa fan, I was no stranger to stories involving this kind of application.
There are particularly some in certain adult stories, but I'll spare you the details.
So, I was happy to obtain something extremely versatile without any annoying drawbacks.
I could have ended up with something completely useless or, worse, a power that would have forced me to follow a dark path like a villain system.
So, getting a training application is rather good news.
[Launching bonus advantage acquisition for being the first selected by ###...]
"What? I have a bonus?"
I was already satisfied with my supernatural application, but another advantage would be the icing on the cake.
[You have obtained: Bloodline Token.]
[Item rank: Mythical ~ Divine.]
[Description: A divine token allowing you to choose your bloodline. If the individual has specific information, they can even select their parents.]
"Fuck, yes!!!" I shouted with joy.
With this, it was almost impossible to have a mundane life or fail to reach the heights of the PTJ-verse.
I just have to be "good" enough to accumulate karma and boost my supernatural application.
"How do I select my bloodline and parents?"
After my words, the holographic panel changed.
[Gapryong Kim Bloodline...]
[Yamazaki Bloodline...]
[Tom Lee Bloodline...]
[Eli Jang Bloodline...]
...
There were several choices, but one detail bothered me.
"Just to know, why is Shingen or Shintaro's lineage displayed as Yamazaki Bloodline while Gapryong just has his full name...?"
[So far, they are humans who have exceeded the "norm" of their race, which has made their lineage special.]
That explains everything. It's a bit like the Uchiha with their special ancestor.
"I'd really like to be the son of a Yamazaki... but I also want Gapryong's lineage..." I mumbled, poorly concealing my frustration.
It took me several hours before having a brilliant idea!!!
"Is it possible to associate Gun Park's mother with Gapryong??"
I didn't know if it was feasible, but I had confidence in ###.
[no, that is impossible...]
"Do it!!! ... wait what?!" I shouted hastily before ### ruined my enthusiasm.
[A certain level of compatibility is needed for this request, but these two individuals have no chance of awakening such emotions.]
I almost swore reading the explanation, but from a certain point of view, it seemed logical.
In the end, I chose the Yamazaki lineage with Shintaro as my father.
Why not Shingen?
I didn't want to die later at Shintaro's hand, and I also admit that becoming clan chief tempts me.
Thus, it is much more advantageous for me to be his son.
[Request in progress...]
[Request accepted.]
"Oh yeah!!!"
I instinctively relaxed, but the holographic panel immediately displayed something else.
[Launching reincarnation procedure...]
"Wait, I don't want to be a girl or a baby!!"
I shouted my words at the last second, but the holographic panel royally ignored me.
