A man died and ended up in the void for millions of years, wandering aimlessly until a goddess found him. Filled with pity, she decided to reincarnate him with some wishes granted along the way. English is not my first language. It’s an AU.
In a dark void, a lone lightbulb flickers aimlessly, casting its glow into the emptiness. It represents a soul adrift, lost and searching without direction. Time passes unnoticed, the soul trapped in this endless expanse.
`How much longer will I remain here?` the soul wanders aloud, their thoughts echoing into the void.
POV soul
Sigh. I've been stuck here for what feels like forever. I never imagined death would land me in this place—no heaven, hell, or even reincarnation. Just endless nothingness.
I grew up an orphan, never really connecting with anyone. After turning 18, I left the orphanage without much to hold me back. Managed to get through college, found a decent job, life seemed to be on track. Then, out of nowhere, I'm hit by a truck while crossing the street. Talk about a rude awakening, like one of those isekai stories without the fantasy twist.
'Sigh, for how much longer am I going to be stuck in here?' I thought to myself.
Just as the thought crossed my mind, a blinding light appeared, nearly scorching my non-existent eyes. Out stepped a stunningly beautiful woman, with long pink hair flowing down to her waist, and eyes so red they seemed unreal. She had curves in all the right places, a sight to behold.
"Hello there, little one. I just happened to pass by and noticed you here. I must admit, I'm surprised you've managed to survive in the void," the being remarked.
'Very beautiful,' I thought to myself, unable to resist acknowledging the being's stunning appearance.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment," the being responded with a smile.
"She can read my thoughts... Maybe she's a goddess," I speculated silently.
As I mulled over the possibility of the being before me being able to read my thoughts, excitement bubbled within me at the prospect of finally escaping this place.
"Haha, you're right. I am a goddess, a supreme goddess to be specific," the being confirmed, sending a surge of hope through me. "And yes, I am going to help you leave the void, actually reincarnate you with some wishes to accompany you."
"Fu*k yes! That's awesome!" I exclaimed, unable to contain my excitement. "So, which world am I going to, and how many wishes do I get?"
After a moment of contemplation, the being spoke again. "I will be sending you to the DxD universe with 3 wishes, and you can choose the timeline you wish to appear in."
DxD universe, huh? Memories of watching the anime flooded my mind, along with snippets of information I'd gathered online. With a sense of determination, I formulated my wishes.
"For my first wish," I began, "I wish to be reincarnated as a true Primordial Phoenix God, representing the concepts of life, reality, creation, rebirth, and stars."
"Secondly, I wish to possess the ultimate skills of Wisdom Lord Raphael and Void God Azeroth."
"And for my third wish, I want to be able to adapt to everything, quite literally everything," I concluded confidently.
As I announced my wishes, the goddess regarded me for a moment, her gaze piercing yet comforting. With a smile, she raised her hand.
"Your wishes are granted," she declared. "Now, which time period do you wish to appear in?"
"I want to appear at the same time as Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa," I replied decisively.
With a final wish of luck from the goddess, I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. "Thank you, goddess-sama, for everything," I managed to convey before succumbing to unconsciousness.
As darkness enveloped me, I embraced the anticipation of my new life in the DxD universe, eager to embark on this thrilling adventure.
