Chapter 1: Prologue!

Eternal darkness.

As far as my sight could reach I only saw infinite emptiness. No sign of life which includes mine too.

Yeah, I am dead...

Just a few hours or maybe days ago I died because of some unexpected situation. However, I wasnt regretting the cause of my death nor feel guilty about leaving someone behind, except for the kitties in the backyard. 

As clichè as ever, I didn't have parents. People might think that it's common these days, but that doesn't mean I lived a great life in absence of guardians. The continuous orphanage hoping and starving straight for days never felt clichè nor entertaining.

Only one thing was good. I didn't see their faces before they threw me at the door of my first childcare center as it would only have made me remember them and hate them.

'Again this emotional breakout'. Wiping my non-existing tears I sat on the black pool of unidentified liquid, which surprisingly wasnt making me wet. For some instance, I felt I was roaming in a different dimension, like how eleven from strangers things do.

But the existence of several holes in my body that caused my death, made me realize that there wasnt any chance of me being still alive and I indeed got fu*ked up.

'Oh, here it comes!' The majority of people know what happens at this point, which could make a dead man happy.

A white flash started making me blind as it reached from a dot to the whole sky and surface. I closed shut my eyes and felt the world turning at a furious pace like I was in a helicarrier. I held my ground somehow so I doesn't get thrown away before the rumbling stopped and peace again resonated in the surrounding.

Slowly I lifted my lids with my eyes still scrutinizing a little, giving them time to adjust to this newfound light. Steadily, I realized the place I was standing right now.

It was grassland with greenery spreaded like a sheet all around. Nothing was standing out except for one thing. It was astonishing how only a single tree was standing erect in the whole land.

I focused my eyes on that specific tree which was about a hundred meters apart before I spotted a man sitting lazily under it with his back leaning on the foot of the trunk and his eyes closed. Again it was outstanding how I could see him clearly when I was -5.00.

'Ah forget it.' Shooking my head I moved forward. I mean it does look scary to spot a man after this long but from my assumption which generally seems wrong, he did look like a god in disguise.

Slowly moving my chubby feet I reached about some meters apart from him before I realized that the man was still sleeping with a smile on his face. 

"Hello, sir. Good day." I tried to greet him in a generous tone so I could get at least three wish-...I mean so I could know where I was. Yeah, that's the reason.

"Greedy aren't ya?" A goofy smirk formed on the blond-haired man before he got up with his eyes still closed. And dude it was creepy when a person gets up without the help of his limbs but while levitating in the air. It felt that the nun conjured him or sort.

"Hey, talkin about evil spirits in front of a saint. That's a foul play." He poked my forehead as he levitated past me.

"So you got shot in a crossfire and died like a hero." A 'seriously nigga' look formed on my face before I spoke.

"It sounds like I died while protecting my motherland or sort. I was just scrambled in a gang fight that's all." I shrugged with a sigh like it was not something to care about but in reality, I was dead ass scared and still traumatized about that incident which seemed to happen a long time ago now.

"But you did save a mother, didn't ya?" A  non-suppressive smile formed on my face as I realized that my death wasnt in vain. I kept on shielding that lady until the police arrived. Of course, my ass was whooped until they came but I knew I saved her.

"So how your life was?" That sudden question took me off guard but I replied nonetheless.

"It was good. I got to meet various friends. Had an experience in love too. And learned several things so yeah it was great. If you are god then thank you for the life." Bowing politely I thanked the being in front of me.

"You are indeed a good boy. The friends you are happy about were the ones who bullied you. The love you are talking about is the only girlfriend who ditched you after humiliating you in front of the whole crowd. And the things you learned were only misery and pain. So genuinely your thanks seem a taunt to me." I knew he was a god that's why I wasnt surprised by his knowledge about my life.

"You don't have to say it specifically. After all, chubby kids generally get a hard life."

"But was it your choice to be like that?" This time I didn't answer and just stared aimlessly at the ground. Suddenly a hand landed on my head which made my body and mind calm for some reason. It was without doubt of the man who was questioning me needlessly some moments ago.

"It's okay kid if you blame me. And I do hold some responsibility for it. So in compensation, I want you to grant you another life." My eyes shined brightly as I heard rebirth.

"Of course in a fictional world." My eyes glimmered even more as I heard the word fiction.

"Where it would be Dxd or RWBY. Wait I can go to meet Rimuru too right. No...no wait how about Akame ga kill specifically Esdeath...." Thousands of characters and hundreds of worlds started pouring down my memory as I started blabbering out like a child asking for a Christmas present.

"Oi oi...hold your horses, young man. I never said you will choose your desired world." My shoulder slumped in disappointment. All the worlds which were pouring down took a reverse uno and flew out.

"So am I going to an OG world or sort?" I asked in a low tone but still, I was contented that I would get a new life with unbelievable stuff around.

'He did say fictional tho...'

"No not some new world but a place you are aware of. And your wish to wander in several animes would also be fulfilled so just calm down and listen to me." I nodded before sitting cross-legged on the grass floor.

"Okay now. There is something I need you to do after you reincarnate. And that is to kill certain beings which might arise problems in their world. " Even the thing he said was frightening as I never killed someone before, I stayed silent and let him continue.

"In the multiverse, these anime characters are real and so are their worlds. The writers of this world might have roamed in the dream of their other self belonging to the other worlds out there, which gave them the idea to write about and publish it." I felt total BS coming right at me but suppressing the cringe expression I nodded.

"And some of those characters have gained an extra mind because of the continuous reincarnation going on recently. Almost 7 out of 10 people with good karma ask to be reborn in an anime world. I am not asking you to kill a reincarnated, moreover, I would like you to stay away from them due to some reasons. The ones I am asking you to get rid of are some specific characters who have been taken over by ghouls." Now I finally got fed up with my anticipation as I asked.

"What are ghouls? And why do I have to kill them?" I asked in pure curiosity no hard call. I was ready to beat up any kind of guy regardless of their role but if I have to fight them I better know about my enemy as much as I could.

"Ghouls are evil spirits which are the replication of Satan's soul. The series of openings toward multiverse attracted their attention resulting in them taking over some of the characters you mainly know from anime and comics."

"Manga."

"Yeah, whatever. Right now, these spirits are dormant waiting for the right time to take full control of their host body and completely annihilate every single being from existence and get obliterated too in the process." I raised my brows at the not-so-refreshing motives of evil beings.

"But why do they want to kill everyone and get fucked up while they are at it too? And don't give that shit that evil things do evil things because they are evil things." I shook my head as I was expecting a full-fledged answer behind this super duper repetitive motive of the majority of antagonists. Whether to dominate the world or to destroy it.

'Only my man Thanos was on the right path....'

"As I said they are a replication of Satan's soul. The immortal being created along with other Gods, is responsible to balance nature by ending the lives of countless beings. On the other side, I create those being again so the life cycle doesn't get disturbed." With a sigh, he continued.

"However these mindless ghouls only know to obliterate. Unlike Satan, they don't know that killing the masses would only cause the world to collapse and ripple in dimensions. Even Satan is having headaches these past decades because of his unconscious creation."

"So even Satan wants me to go on this mission. Cool!" It was unbelievable to realize how both sides of Ying and Yang are working together and their apostle would be none other than me.

"So I just have to kill those characters which have ghouls in them right? " He nodded before I continued.

"So for that, I will get powers right?" He nodded hesitantly which didn't give a good vibe.

"What's with that self-doubt?" I asked with my gaze narrowed. I mean he wasnt asking me to man handle Madara without an ounce of chakra right? I ain't drunk Lee after all.

"Well, basically I would only give you normal skills right now. But that doesn't mean you won't get rewarded as you fulfill your duty"

"*sigh*, I hope you won't push me in the middle of the tournament of power with jiggled butts in the name of skill."

"No of course not. For starters your eyes...." He snapped which caused my eyes to go blind for a second before they returned to normal....or to say more than normal.

The scene in front of me changed completely to white. Like I could see even ants crawling on the ground. Not only that, but when I looked at my arm, I was able to see the veins and nerves running like webs. 

"W-what is this?" I was flashbanggered as I saw this newfound perception. I wasnt hurting even a bit but the nausea was erupting deep down after seeing my own gruesome internal organs. 

"Byakugan. Just close your eyes and concentrate. You will get your eyes back". With a quick nod, I did what he asked.

'Breath in...out...in...out' I calmed my ragged breathing as I singly stimulated my mind toward my eyes. I didn't know what I was supposed to do, so I just used my martial training, to regulate my senses and soothe my mind.

And it worked.

" Good. You just need to practice it and the true potential of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would be yours." Well, this was a hella power pack coming from the main rival of Dattebayo!

"Now for your respiratory nerve." Again the whip of his finger and my face lightened like a firefly butt.

"What's this?"

"Breathing techniques. Now you can manipulate your breathing to enhance your physical strength and stamina. Again you need to train yourself to fully utilize it. I didn't give you a breathing style of any specific character so don't try flame breathing and stuff." 

"Tch." It was frustrating that I won't be able to get three wives now.

"Lastly your soul" Again the lightning happened but this time my whole body was shining and burning, but it wasnt hurting much so I didn't move and let it finish.

"Now done. You can go now."

"Wai-" Without me letting him ask about what shit he added in me, the world collapsed, and my consciousness started fading away like it was all a dream.

[Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! Flight number XX20B has been landed and the passengers are being directed from the...]

When my eyes regained their color and the feeling of getting stabilized over my feet installed in my senses, what I saw was a huge crowd. From the announcements, I was sure that I was at an airport and currently have landed in Seoul. Before I could check my boarding pass to know about my situation more, someone called for me.

"Ijin." I felt this voice was calling out my name, even if it wasnt mine. I looked toward the source of the voice and found two ladies standing there.

One of them was a small girl with a shy demeanor and a bob cut over her head. Her big eyes were oozing innocence and the nervous smile on her face made my heart melt. 

The other one, who called for me was a mature woman probably in her early thirties. She was wearing a pair of denim with a white shirt on her upper body. Her long hair was braided with a blue ribbon keeping them in position. Her body measurement was something a tailor would take their time to enjoy themselves on.

'Wait....' I felt I have saw them somewhere and when I realized who they were, the memories of the person whose body I have taken over also rushed down my lane making me dizzy.

'Fuck...talk about lame entry...'
