1 Reincarnation

'What in damnation' I exclaim in my head looking at the man sitting in front of me.

I look at the nauseating void that surrounds us. One thing that makes me damn sure I'm not in outer space is the absence of light. There is no planet, moon satellite, or anything that anyone would observe in outer space. Only darkness, the throne, and the man that sits on it.

"Hello there," the man in front of me says, bringing my focus on him again.

"Uhh...hello? Who are you? Where am I?"

"Who am I doesn't matter. As for where you are, first, let's established something. You are dead"

"Dead? As in no longer living?" I ask bemused.

"Is there any definition beside that? Never mind don't answer that. Second, I fish you out before your afterlife procession to here, my universe. Now as I'm adherent to rebel against the norm or established tradition, I will give you three perks of my choosing that would surely help you in your next life after I reincarnated you instead of wishes"

"Wait wait wait, this is moving too fast, I can barely keep up. What's the cause of my death? Why do you choose me? Where would I be reincarnated?"

"First question, you choke on broccoli-"

"WAIT WHAT?!" I shouted cutting off the guy.

"Second question, happenstance. Third question Dragon Ball Multiverse"

'HOLY SMOKES, did I hear that right? Dragon Ball Multiverse?'

"Can you tell me at least, who I reincarnate as? And before you say something about three perks, what would that be?"

"Sure, you will be reincarnated as Broly cause I think it would be a good pun and entertainment for you and especially me. Now on to the perks you get, first is this"

The guy snaps his finger and a floating text can be seen in front of me.

[INVICTUS: Your will is absolute, boundless, and unbreakable. Factors such as distress, suffering, and difficulty mean nothing to you. You are capable of undergoing any disaster without batting an eye, ignoring any amount of pain, remaining mentally untouched by even the most terrible events, and even the most fearsome odds will not give you pause. Abilities that would affect your mind or control you are useless, you shrugging these off as nothing more than an irritant. You will never break, never bow, and even come a thousand apocalypses you will stand as tall and resolute as ever. Being torn in half, locked into time loops of endless agony for thousands of years, or facing the most hopeless odds are nothing to you.]

"God damn, this will surely help adjust me to the brutal world of Dragon Ball. But isn't it kind of detrimental to my Saiyan transformation though, as it needs anger to trigger"

"You would think so, would you? But not really, as long as you're powerful enough you can go Super Saiyan eventually. And need I remind you, it doesn't necessarily make you incapable of anger, it just makes so you wouldn't go berserk from it. As it says, your will is absolute. You will feel anger, hate or such and such, but your mental state will not be hindered by them."

"You mean I can just go something like Ikari form without the rage?"

"Oh you will feel the rage, but you are still in control despite it"

"That's AWESOME, thanks, dude. What's next man?"

"Here goes"

With a snap, the second perks float beside the first one.

[PREP-TIME: You instinctively know the training method to achieve a technique you desire.]

'That's very short compared to the previous one but very clear in terms of application, although I don't know why he doesn't just give me the Perks that make me instinctively can USE the technique instead of the training method'

"That would make you complacent, and I hate tardiness"

"Ehe, ehehehehe, sorry for thinking that" I laugh awkwardly while patting the back of my head. Very shounen protagonist like if I do say so myself.

"Now the third and final perks I will give you," the dude says while snapping his finger.

[FIRST IMPRESSION: No matter what you do you're incapable of making a bad impression on others when they encounter you. Even your enemies will find themselves respecting you, seeing you as a worthy opponent. You'll find it trivial to find a place with the various faction, and they'll be more than willing to help you out or extend the benefit of the doubt. This isn't permanent, your actions and decisions will influence them as normal, but you are given significantly more leeway than would be extended to anyone else. Expect to become very popular with the media should you so much as give them the time of the day.]

"Now that's a doozy, what even the benefit of this perks. It seems useless for me"

"You would think so, but you would thank me later when you meet someone like Beerus or Zeno. You think Son Goku would survive when he met them instead of getting obliterated with his insolence, not without plot armor he won't"

"Ah, yeah, that makes sense. In that instance, maybe King Vegeta wouldn't kill or exile me because of this Perk"

"Good, you start using your brain-"

"Hey!"

"Anyway, with that done, we can move on to the reincarnation part"

"Right. I want to thank you for this opportunity man" I say to him, while my body starts to turn into a light particle.

"No worries, you are after all one of my entertainment. Just one thing, don't die too fast okay?"

"I don't intend to die at all~" I answer, grinning while my consciousness starts to drift apart.

With two finger salute toward him, I say my last goodbye.

'Oh boy, Dragon Ball Multiverse here I go'
