Guy dies and gets reincarnated. Same old story, but this time he has to deal with other reincarnates in a battle royal for his continued existence within the multiverse. Will be full of edgelords being killed, random sex, (because what BS MC doesn't want to have lots of sex) and a guy who just wants people to use their brains so he doesn't have to point out the obvious anymore.
So here I am, floating in a giant white space bored out of my mind as random joke items appear and disappear around me. This is probably what the Joker's wet dream would look like. I thought to myself as I floated along and watched a clown face appear in front of me. There isn't an up or down here and there isn't anywhere to go seeing as I had already tried to reach the joke items only to have them vanish before I could reach them.
I thought about what caused me to be here and found out that I was feeling rather calm. Being crushed by a literal ton of concrete and steel beams means there isn't any chance of me being anything but dead and wasn't something I can even try to deny, so I just accepted it.
Unless the government somehow is hiding technology to turn me into some sort of robot super soldier I am not going anywhere. I obviously am the perfect choice for such a thing as my skills of watching anime and insulting others online would obviously make them notice me.
Ignoring the obvious bullshit from those thoughts I had time to consider what my death might cause for others.
My family and I were pretty distant due to me not feeling much connection between us and deciding to just live our lives separately. I didn't even talk to my mother, who was the closest to me emotionally more than 3 times in a year. So it was pretty obvious that while my death would be sad for them a little bit, they would get over it pretty quickly.
I was a loner for the most part and the few friends I had were held back a good bit from getting close to me so that when they inevitably stab me in the back I wouldn't be hurt as bad.
I am a very down to earth individual who believes that logic should always be the main reason for doing something. While this way of thinking is good for making decisions I also recognize that it is terrible for connecting with others.
In the past my girlfriend left me for my better looking and more wealthy best friend. It turned out that they had been together for months already behind my back and all of my other friends knew about it but didn't tell me. When I quit being friends with my so called best friend the rest left as well and would even spread rumors to the other students and teachers while trying to get me in trouble.
This continued until I graduated from high school and because of my terrible reputation I couldn't get into any good colleges. I ended up having to go to college half way across the country and this killed any relationships I had or could have had.
After college I got a job working for a marketing firm and I found out that everyone there hated their jobs and each other. All I could do was type in what they wanted me to do and go home where I was alone. I spent my time off playing games and watching anime or reading whatever caught my interest.
I often imagined what it would be like to be in these worlds and to help the heroes be less stupid in how they handled things. It is obvious that these people and the ones around them are either incapable of proper decisions or they just don't care enough to make those decisions. I always wished to smack some sense into these people.
"I agree with your thought entirely." A deep voice from out of nowhere said before a swirling vortex of darkness appeared in front of me and a man stepped out of it.
The man looked exactly like the Ichigo's zanpakto spirit from Bleach. He had long brown hair and sunglasses with a trench coat that looked ragged at the bottom. He looked at me and continued speaking.
"While this is the form I appeared to you in, this is not my true form. My true form would cause you to lose your mind or would crush your soul from the base energy it gives off. I appeared before you as your thoughts are in line with my own. This place is the waiting room between lives and I am a higher being who oversees various worlds in the multiverse. Each piece of fiction is based on an actual world in existence and it is my job to destroy any being who becomes a danger to those worlds, such as the outer gods and various other beings."
So I guess Cthulhu is something that actually existed, wonderful to know. If my brain suddenly turns into water and explodes outside of my ears while I speak in tounges I will at least know what it's from.
"I want to make a deal with you. Because of my position I can't directly interfere in the various worlds unless they become in danger of being destroyed by a higher being or I would become one of the beings that I myself destroy. So what I want to do is to send you to one of the worlds under my watch with some power in order to, as you say, smack some basic common sense into these so called heroes."
"So you are going to reincarnate me?" I asked as I felt a thrill at the prospect of being able to become like the characters in the fanfics I had read before.
"I am going to insert your soul into the body of a young individual who was poisoned to death. His parents were multi billionaires with ties to numerous businesses and have died in a plane crash while returning from an overseas business trip. He is 15 years old and has already graduated from school through online classes. His uncle poisoned him as the next in line to receive what his now deceased parents left him. You will receive his memories and body and can do as you will. I believe that having a large amount of money to begin with will help you to complete my request easier and being an orphan will allow you to act more freely."
"What abilities will I have and what is the world I am going to?" I asked as I thought about what I would need to do once I got there. That uncle and whoever was involved was going to be killed for sure. I have no interest in having family members who would poison me and while common social morals say I should let the police handle it instead, I don't want to allow my uncle and those hiding behind him to have the chance to kill me again. I'm not one of those foolish people who thinks that all I need to do to correct them is have a nice heart to heart. Talk no jutsu isn't one of my skills and I'll need to at the very least know a bit more about someone to even try that. I also ain't Goku who will leave the bad guy alive so he can try again later, I'm squashing this guy at the start.
"I will be giving you the powers of Alucard from Hellsing without the limits that were imposed on him. I think the need to be a virgin to be turned into a vampire was beyond ridiculous since Alucard was shown to have been raped himself before becoming a vampire." The higher being said as he frowned while thinking about it.
"The world you are going to is the world of Twilight. Watching all of those vampires act like that makes me pissed off. Edward thinking that a soul can be lost so easily while barely killing anyone when there is serial killers that will rape and torture their victims for days that still have souls is beyond stupid. Not to mention the Volturi and how they can stab all the vampires in the back without anyone being the wiser for it. Carlisle spent decades with them, how in the hell can he not know about this?" The higher being said with some anger while rubbing his head in irritation.
"Sorry about that. Just thinking about it all makes me upset over how foolish they all are. As I said before, I want you to go and change things so that it is at the very least less infuriating to see. Even if all you do is beat some sense into at least one of them I will be satisfied. You can travel to other worlds and will be able to use your money and other resources in those worlds so long as you don't abuse them by doing something that damages the plotline and I will help you to blend in naturally to the storyline so that you can do your job. If I find you to be going around and causing fate to derail without a proper back up solution I will lock you into that world and leave you to suffer the consequences of your own actions."
"Will I be able to bring along others from my travels? It is after all common for people like me to have allies and multiple wives and children." I asked him with a little worry. Some of the worlds I can think of will have me stay there for a very long time and while I do have a problem connecting with others and trusting them, I do not believe I will spend hundreds of years without having a single relationship. I don't want to be that kind of a sage.
"I will create an alternate world where you can have your allies and family members live, or you can just have a world become your hub world. However there will be severe restrictions on them such as being stuck on that world and losing their abilities that don't fit in with that world. Death will still come for those who remain mortal regardless of if they are in your world or not. So do keep in mind that fact. Now off you go, you have already asked me enough as it is." The higher being said as he summoned a vortex behind me that sucked me in. I still had questions, but I guess it's fine since it'll be more entertaining to see what I can do myself.
