Kenji Sakamoto had always considered himself an unremarkable guy. He wasn't particularly smart, strong, or good-looking. His greatest achievement in life? Successfully binge-watching an entire anime series in one night without falling asleep. Truly, the pinnacle of human accomplishment that anyone can possibly achieve of peak human capabilities.
So, when he found himself standing in a blank, white void with a floating, elderly man staring at him, Kenji immediately suspected he had been killed but some natural force in power.
"Ah... crap. Did I get truck-kun'd?" Kenji muttered, glancing down at himself. Yep. No body. Just a glowing, ghostly form. Definitely dead.
The elderly figure, dressed in a shimmering white robe, showing his pristine power and divinity, cleared his throat. "Ahem. Welcome, mortal! I am the God of Reincarnation. You have perished in a tragic accident—"
"Truck?" Kenji asked.
"Actually... a runaway vegetable cart," the god corrected, stroking his long beard. "Very unfortunate."
Kenji blinked. "I got isekai'd by freaking vegetables?!"
"Indeed. But fret not, for you have been chosen to be reborn in a new world! Normally, souls are given a standard blessing, but due to a systemic oversight by a new intern that we had hired, you have been granted every single divine blessing in existence, unfortunately"
Kenji frowned. "Wait, hold up. Every blessing? Like, all of them? Even the useless ones?"
The god coughed awkwardly. "Er... yes."
"And what was that unfortunately at the end there?"
"I said no such thing."
"But I heard it just no-"
"Probably hallucinations, a normal side effect for people like you."
"..."
"..."
A translucent menu screen popped up in front of Kenji. He skimmed through it, his expression shifting from confusion to disbelief.
Blessing of Infinite Strength – Unlimited physical power.
Blessing of Eternal Youth – You will never age.
Blessing of Ultimate Charisma – Everyone will adore you.
Blessing of Divine Cooking – Every dish you make is a masterpiece. Blessing of Understanding All Languages – Fluent in everything, including animal noises.
Blessing of Overpowered Luck – Probability bends to your will. Blessing of Immortality – You can never die. Ever.
Blessing of Universal Dominance – The world instinctively recognizes you as its supreme ruler.
Blessing of "Why Not?" – Reality will adjust to whatever you want, just because you said so.
Blessing of "Blessing" – Blessing is a blessing of blessing of why not blessing blessing... Blessing.
Blessing of " God and Anime" – You have the power of god and anime by your side. Go forth, my child.
Kenji stared. "So... I'm basically a walking cheat code."
"Yes. And I deeply apologize. Normally, we only grant one or two blessings per person, but there was a paperwork mix-up... and now, well, you're essentially a god. Which increases my workload for some reason and it seems your position is a god of just existence. Lucky bastard."
Kenji scratched his head. "Huh. So, what now?"
"Now," the god said, raising his hand, "you begin your adventure!" With a snap of his fingers, the void around them shattered like glass.
Kenji barely had time to scream before he was plummeting from the sky, straight toward an unknown fantasy world below...
The god was standing there and looking down and thinking to himself "I wonder if it was a good idea to give all that power to a guy. Huh let this be an experience then."
With that he left and the white space because quite and devoid of anything.
