1 Death and Wishes

Opening his eye, Rios start to look around, trying to figure out where he is. Is he dead, or Is he still alive? Well, the sight shocks him to the core as he realized that he was not standing on the ground but floating instead.

Behind Rios is a line of human soul figures, as the number it's endless, but the most surprising part is that not all of them are human. The elves from the myth, a draconian people, an orc? You name it.

In a place full of darkness, there seems to be only one source of light. The soul is lining up, waiting for their turn to grab that shining light.

The weirdest part is that not all of them are conscious, which mean his soul and others had been lining up without them even knowing. Rules seem to be set, as Rios notice that only three people in the frontest row is awakening at a time.

Rios is second in line as the guy in front of him move slowly, heading to the source of light. Trying to grab the guy attention, Rios try to tap him on the shoulder but, his finger passing right through like the guys in front of him is making out of a pile of smoke.

Not giving up, Rios try to speak but, not a single word is coming out of his mouth. Not long after, the guys in front of him reach the source of light. The light start flickering follows by an earth-shattering phenomenon.

The surrounding space began to fall apart, forming a gateway out of nothing. The gate slowly opens, a suction force appears, absorbing the man soul then disappear like nothing is happen.

Now, it all makes sense. Why the guy in front of him moving so slow while approaching the source of light. It's because he had no leg, not to mention that he was floating, so that's why.

Not long after, Rios arrive in front of the shining light. As the light within his reach, Rios stretch his hand over. The moment his hand come in contact with the light, warm energy starts to flow into his body.

The door started to appear for a second time, as it begins to absorb Rios the moment it's fully open. The moment the door sucks in Rios, another soul start to gain consciousness, the cycle continues as if it'll never end.

Somewhere inside an unknown place, a man with golden frame glasses was sitting with his leg cross comfortably on his chair, looking intently at the air projecting screen while taking note on a small notebook.

A door silently appears behind the man, a soul slowly float and stop in front of the desk behind him. Turning his chair facing the soul, he lifts his golden frame glasses and starts to talk; " Welcome! Rios Gracie. Let me start by introducing myself; My name is Jiang Ziwen, I am a Yama King in charge of Life and Death and Fortune of all human."

Rios silently look at the Yama King, as he never expected a King of hell would be wearing a suit with expensive-looking golden frame glasses. His dark silver hair was comb neatly, which reveal his high ideal. The most surprising thing is that he speaks English.

It does not take long for Rios to notice an air projecting screen behind Jian Ziwen. Rios was shocked to his core as he knows the face on the screen all too well as it's non-other than his parent.

The screen shows a story of his entire life, from the day he was born to the day he starts training martial arts with his father until the last day of his life. Lossing in his thought, Jiang Ziwen voice once again wake him up.

" Rios Gracie, born in a martial arts family, starting his martial arts journey at the ages of 6. Joining the Underground Arena at the ages of 14 years old, killing 126 peoples in the rings throughout your whole journeys, became known as Death God. After nine years of fighting, you decided to retire from the underground arena. Your cause of death is; 'Killed by an explosion.' Saving 600 people lives in the process. Is there any part that I didn't cover? Anything you like to add? " said Jiang Ziwen while looking at Rios straight in the eyes.

" Well, with all due respect, Sir Yama King. You had indeed covered everything all there is to know about my life event. The only thing I had to say is that those 126 peoples, none of them deserved to live. I never really did kill anyone who comes to Underground Ring for the sake of improving their arts. Although I start training in martial arts at the ages of 6, what inspired me to be what I am today, is thank to anime, manga and novel. " Rios bow his head slightly as he finishes speaking those word.

Jiang Ziwen raised his head and sight, " So, that's why! Despite having 127 kill count under your name, you had zero negative karmic points. Alright, with the amount of Karmic Points you had right now, I will be able to let you keep your memory and pick your world of choices. The leftover Karmic point, I will be able to grant you three wishes. Take your time thinking about what you want. "

Rios bow his head again to show his gratefulness for the Yama king while starting to think of what he needs to survive in a new world.

10 Hour later,

Raising his head, Rios look at the Yama King and start telling him his wishes, " Dear Sir, I had made my decision. I want to reincarnate in the world of Douluo Dalu, a years before the birth of Tang Wulin."

Hearing Rios voice, Jiang Ziwen once again raised his head, looking straight at Rios while saying, " Continues."

Hearing the God Permission, Rios continues, " My first wish is to have a martial art, cultivation and movement techniques from Jin Yong Novel.

Here a list of what I want:

I hope sire, help me combining them into one cultivation techniques, movement techniques, unarmed combat technique and armed combat techniques."

Hearing what Rios just said, Jiang Ziwen started to frown and said, " Your request is not impossible, but you make such a troublesome request. I will run your request through God Data Bank and use the Great God Simulation device to derive a suitable technique. You will have to wait for a week before I can grant this wish of yours. "

Rios bow his head in respect to the kindness Jiang Ziwen had shown him. Jiang Ziwen wise, wave his hand as if it is not a big deal, meaning for Rios to continues with his second wish.

" I wish for a Bloodline Power from Naruto Universe, mainly the combination of 4 great Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan and Tenseigan. " Rios smile as he said his wish.

" Your wish can be grant, but do know this, that you will have to grow with the new powers. You won't have access to all your bloodline ability immediately, the moment you born, but the plus side is that it will naturally evolve as part of you. Also, I will remove the curse of hatred and the Byakugan Blindspot from it. You can continue with your final wishes. " Jiang Ziwen said with a serious face as he answers the young Rios.

Rios take the Yama King advice seriously. He knows that he won't have access to all the power of his bloodline the instant he born. " My third wish, I want three innate talents and one Encompassing Forged Encyclopedia. I want Simulation Manipulation, Status Reading and Ambidexterity: Flawless Coordination."

Hearing Rios last wish, Jiang Ziwen just nodded and said. " I can grant your third wish now as you can take this time to read the Forged Encyclopedia and use Simulation to practice. Now off you go, see you in a week."

Jiang Ziwen waves his hand, sending Rios to a quiet room with a small bed, a set of table and chair, and small bed light.
