Rebirth
While my vision turned black I felt at peace even though I still feel like I could have done more with my life. As I tried to erase these thoughts, I heard the soothing voice of a woman "Fear not young one this is not your end but merely your beginning." Feeling somewhat soothed by the voice I continued to listen. "However, the peace you once enjoyed will begone until you can forge it for yourself, in your new life that is." Hearing this I felt conflicted, about living another life, never seeing Rebecca again, not knowing why this was happening and most importantly what this suggested.
Sensing my conflict and confusion the voice asked me, "What can I do to ease your conflict and confusion Young one? would you like me to tell you anything?" Understanding she needed me to tell her how I am feeling, I said, "First living another life what do you mean? Am I going to be in a different time or country? Will I lose my memories?" Understanding my confusion the voice the replied, "Soon you will be choosing a life to live in another world know by the residents as Terra and in the continent of Babel you will start to live your life. And fear not you will be keeping your memories as that is considered one of the few things that make a life what it is."
Hearing this I ask my next question, "Ok so I'm being sent to another world but why and who will be sending me, you?" The voice quickly replied in a very flustered tone, "N-No I don't have enough power to make such a miracle, the ones sending you are the goddesses of dreams, hopes and loving desire, named Alucinor, Cupisco and Venus. You have been chosen to reincarnate for three reasons, First you have a unique soul that has the power to transcend fate in fact the humans in your world are all unique in this way since their had been many to transcend fate and they were all hailed as geniuses when in fact they took a possibility of negligible degrees and still persevere." In a daze after only her first reason I ask, "Hold on this is a bit too much to take in these were all discoveries yet you parade them as miracles" to this after calming down from her flustered state from before the womanly voice giggles, "To your people that might seem like nothing but to others this a feat that transcends comprehension, when a human is born they should be closely tied to the god that created them and therefore they would be incapable of true thought or free thinking, however you're people had geniuses or those born with magnificent souls who were capable of breaking this bond and releasing themselves from this imperceptible bondage. This in turn changed your planets fate as the gods who governed it no longer had much ability to control you and leading you to peace and happiness." Being further confused I blurted, "Peace? Hah we were constantly fighting each other I hardly call that peace!" Sighing the voice tells me, "huuu, you fought each other based on your own greed which is present even the god squabble about the most pointless of things. This hardly qualifies as being turmoil when you compare your situation to other worlds that are constantly tested by their fickle gods. Some planets even become devoid of life itself like that planet Mars your people became fixated on for a time." Hearing this I become excited and quickly ask the voice, "Does that mean I'll be within the same universe as before?" Releasing another sigh the voice informs me, "No you'll be transported to another universe so give up on going back."
Becoming dejected I think over what the voice has told me and ask my third question, "Will I ever see Rebecca again?" Feeling sorry for me the voice informs me "Unfortunately no you can never see her again as you are now." Noticing the obvious implication I ask "So there is a way that I can see her again? How please tell me I'll do whatever it takes!" Hardening my resolve I listen to the words that come next, "This question actually coincides with the second reason you've been chosen since there are multiple people who could fit the first reason and that's your personality and past. You see you should have died at birth, that was your fate however you persevered and even attained a normal life, then there was the time your mother sacrificed herself to save you, for the sake of your life she jumped into danger and even ended up dying for you, at first this seems like a tragedy however that death was supposed to include both of you however by sacrificing herself the umm how should I" noticing that the voice was avoiding touching in the centre of my trauma I say, "It's fine, I have come to terms with what happened while I can't forgive my father I can accept that it wasn't his fault" Hearing me tell her this the voice continued, "This is what I mean most people wouldn't be able to overcome this type of thing. Ok back on track while your father was meant to kill both you and your mother in his hysterical state caused by his mental breakdown. Your mother, who was meant to be too weak to stop your father after receiving a knife to one of her major arteries, managed to summon enough strength to save you and even leave you with some dying words that pushed you forwards."
Feeling melancholic I asked her, "but what has that got to do with me? My mother saved me at that time" noticing how much I've underplayed her words the voice said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Don't you understand that you transcended fate not once but twice at that point, just because your mother saved you that still involves you having a strong enough heart to accept what happened and not let it swallow you. Which is a huge feat in itself. However, you transcended it again when you took that knife to the heart and were able to save the young girl who should have died, then you went on to save countless others from the criminal who would have had more victims." Realising that what she said was true I began to feel a small amount of pride build up as I said, "Hahaha, I guess it was quite amazing that it didn't break under the pressure and even managed to save someone with my life that should've been forfeit from the start, Hahahahaha" Hearing that I understood her meaning the voice tells me in a lighter tone, that not only was my feat impressive it actually nourished my soul to a terrifying degree. But confused at what that meant I asked the voice, "So what does that mean? Do I have some kind of super power now?" Once again giggling at my ignorance the voice informs me, "First of all due to the presence of magic in the new world you will be going to you could consider yourself super since there was no such thing in your last world." Immediately becoming excited I ask, "M-M-Magic does that mean I'll be able to shoot fire from my hands and do the things from fantasy novels and anime in my past life?" Seeing me start to geek out the voice says, "Yes, although it would take practice you could in theory replicate their powers and abilities." doing a fist pump in my imagination she continues, "Although that would be a separate thing from what you're highly nourished soul and strong heart would provide to you. First of all a nourished soul would guarantee a grand fate where you would, even without trying, accomplish great merits. And a strong heart would mean you can make sure that you accomplish great feats even if you had to go through hell itself you could likely persevere under even the most crushing of circumstances. Do you understand the second reason you were chosen?" Hearing the voice confirming that I understood I agreed and she started on the third reason she chose me, "Finally the third reason you were chosen is that you have special talents, one that allows you to understand skills quickly. An example is that even though you have never learned to fight you were able to contend and react to a man who not only had military training but also held a weapon and still managed to knock him unconscious. This is something a normal person would never be able to do. Another talent was your perception, considering the distance between you and the attacker you should not have been able to see his gun had jammed. Compounding this you're instincts clearly told you of the danger leaving your flat would bring you. While you did ignore them they still exist and had you followed them you would have likely have overcome fate again. What I'm saying is your life and the people in them brought changes to you and your soul to a degree that you can't quite comprehend at the moment."
Stunned at how awesome I apparently am I ask her my final question in a theatrical manner, "What is your purpose in making me reincarnate? Am I expected to kill some kind of demon king? Do I have heal a great number of people who suffer from a terrible plague? Or must I correct the faulty morals of the denizens of this foreign land?" Hearing my questions the voice responds, "Actually, the reason you're going to be reincarnated is because the goddess know that even if you just do what you want you will bring changes for the better" Hearing her words I can't help feeling something incongruous in what the voice said and I asked, "Didn't you say that people like me break away the bonds that gods control us by wouldn't this be quite a bad decision." Understanding what I meant the voice tells me, "Well that's complicated but the short version is that not all Gods wish to control humans and a great number of angels try to free humanity from the cruel Gods even if they serve those cruel Gods." After a brief pause the voice says, "Anyway are you ready to start your reincarnation because you I sense you no longer feel confused or conflicted would you like to continue to creating yourself?"
After a moment of completely blanking I regain my senses and ask the voice what she was talking about. "What do you mean you don't understand I believe what I said was quite straightforward" feeling a pressure build in my mind as I shout, "STRAIGHTFORWARD MY ASS! YOUR TELLING ME I AM CREATING MY SELF! WHAT IN THE FUCK! WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY NATURAL?!?" As if talking to a child throwing a tantrum the voice says in a soothing tone, "You didn't think a God would be creating your body did you? That's absurd to begin with I've already told you that your soul has transcended fate which puts you out of the control of the gods." Only feeling more pissed off I continue, "THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN ABSURD? YOUR CLEARLY TELLING ME TO DO SOMETHING CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE BY HUMAN KIND FOR MILLENNIA AS IF I'M MAKING TOAST! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M DOING?" As if something clicked the voice told me, "Oh, that's what you mean don't worry about it after all I'll be with you to walk you through it after all we're partners from now on." Hearing the voice I completely blanked and said, "You what?"
After calming down the voice, who's name is apparently Derigo, explained to me that from now on she is my guardian angel and that she was the angel I saw falling during the day I died. Apparently she was observing me when a plane, that she had seen for the first time, was flying at her so she panicked. Laughing at the somewhat clumsy angel I told her that I was ready to start making myself.
Instantly my surroundings changed from the black abyss to an endless white space. As I was wondering what happened and what was going on a screen appeared in front of me saying please click start to continue.
——————————————————————————————————————
. PLEASE CLICK .
. [START] .
——————————————————————————————————————
As I clicked I tried to click start I realised I had no hands or body and started to panic but Derigo calmed me down telling me that I no longer had a body because I was making it and that I merely had to focus on what I want to click and the screens would respond.

Name: Levi Animo
Level: 0
Race: Please Select
——————————————————————————————————————
Looking at the list I was amazed at the sheer number of options and variants even bloodlines were selectable asking Derigo about what to do she suggested that I choose a civilised race, as a monster may hunted or even if I survived I would likely never be trusted even if I evolved into a form capable of camouflaging as civilised due to my unknown past. As it would be better to circumvent the problem in the first place. Looking at the choices I at first considered a mix blood of an angel and demon until Derigo shot me down saying that even if I tried it would likely nullify both bloodlines pretty much making me weaker than the average human. Looking at the bloodlines function I decided on my choice. That even Derigo praised for the sheer potential of my choice. Realising she could just tell me the best choice she giggled and told me figure things out for yourself. However if I'm about to do something detrimental she would stop me telling me the pro's and con's of my decision.

Name: Levi Animo
Level: 0
Race: Half - Human (Draconic bloodline: Azure dragon) Half - Angel (Archangel of Lighting Barachiel)
Parameters: 41 points, Please Assign
——————————————————————————————————————
After my race came my starting parameters I asked Derigo about this and she told me that I would automatically have 1 point in every category and a normal person would have them randomly set at birth. The parameters would dictate what that person would be capable of in the future. Hearing this I thanked her and asked what each would do. She told me endurance would dictate my stamina and overall physical recovery rate and resistance against outside entities ranging from physical attacks to poison. Strength dictated the my upper how much I could lift and the power of my strength it also dictated my physical resistance like endurance. Dexterity would control my speed and the speed at which I can think it also refined my overall precision. Magic determined my mystic ability capabilities with any kind of energy ranging from Mana to Qi. Spirit was essentially a higher form of endurance because they did the same things only it also raised my mystic defence and mystic energy recovery rate. Faith determines the bonds with gods and for me my stat was locked at zero when I asked Derigo about why mine couldn't increase she told me it was that due to my soul and that I had no need to worry about it since I couldn't change anything by doing so. Finally the stat that interested me the most was soul which was locked at [Max] and before Derigo could say anything I said that it determines fate and she confirmed my assumption in an agitated manner saying, "Sure, fine interrupt me then not like I'm getting absolutely zero out of our arrangement or anything" hearing her cute ramblings I apologise to her and tell her it won't happen again. After some time I decided on my parameters.
——————————————————————————————————————
Name: Levi Animo

Race: Half-Human, Half-Angel
Parameters:
ENDURANCE - 1
STRENGTH - 1
DEXTERITY - 11
MAGIC - 11
SPIRIT - 22
FAITH - 0 [LOCKED]

——————————————————————————————————————
After careful consideration I decided on these parameters after Derigo told me that levels required stat improvement to improve and each level would reward a point to improve my parameters with and that the easiest to improve are strength and endurance while dexterity and magic are moderately difficult to improve while spirit is the hardest to raise. The level of the parameter will get harder to improve but as I improve so will my understanding so to an outsider it would look difficult but to the person the difficulty never changes.

Seeing the skills I ask Derigo, "Hold on, what are these skills and why does that last one sound overpowered? Actually there's a few that sound overpowered in there" Hearing my questions she responded telling me, "Although they have grand names they actually aren't all that great because they are mostly level 0 which means that you have yet to comprehend them and until you do they're like badges saying hey I've touched upon these skills. Also while someone could instruct you it's not like it will be easy because everyone has their own understanding of things and it would be very hard to instruct someone in a way that they will understand. Also the ones with grand names are usually harder to understand. However, in my opinion both of your nullification skills are top tier to start with and you have them maxed to begin with. In the future they along with any skills you gain will become your weapons so use them well. The fact that Lightning Nullification is Max is probably because of your bloodline though and I can sense that there are skills you've yet to touch upon hidden in your bloodline." With a new understanding of how the skills work I felt relieved that in this new world I could slowly become strong rather than being a monster from birth and possibly scaring people away.
After confirming my choices my vision turns a figure and another window pops up.
——————————————————————————————————————
Please Design
Your Future Body
——————————————————————————————————————
Seeing this I ask Derigo what to do and she told me to picture my preferred body shape in my mind. After she stopped explaining I pictured a lightly toned figure of average height and when I finished I saw an identical figure in front of me and then Derigo told me to picture my facial structure to which I imagine a round face with a gentle expression a thin nose and lazy looking eyes and average ears. When I tried to imagine my skin tone being a bit more tanned or dark brown hair Derigo told me that I couldn't chose them because my parents would be the deciding factor on this and I asked if I could chose my parents she told me if I was a more common race then it could be possible however I chose a race that would have to get fates intervention on the goddesses part to control so I won't get a choice and so I asked Derigo to show me what I would look like then and my hair was somewhat unkempt and the colour of it was a glowing azure blue in some parts and was the main colour while it was a matted violet in other areas looking like highlights. Worried that my parents were some kind of weirdos that would dye their kids hair in strange ways I asked why my hair was like that. To which she laughed and said, "Probably because you will be too lazy to brush it in the future" getting set off by her again I shouted, "NOT THE STYLE, THE FUCKING COLOUR YOU IDIOT!" Hearing my words she realised it wasn't natural to have that hair colour in my world she told me, "Oh that it's actually normal to have vibrant hair colours in this world for humans that is." Once again noting this new world would be completely different from my previous I confirm my choices.

Thank You
Please Wait For Your Birth

Seeing the blunt message my mind blanks and while in this sense Derigo says, "Prepare yourself because this next part is going to hurt... A lot."
Hearing this I try to ask her to slow down but I feel completely powerless and the next thing I feel is an excruciating pain followed by a freezing cold that was so bad I began crying wildly and I hear a mans voice saying in an almost cheerful tone, "It's a boy!"
After getting wrapped up and put in a beautiful woman's arms she says is a funny voice, "Hello, I'm your mummy and from now on your Levi Animo, my wonderful son."
