1 What is life, Reborn, New god

My name is John Smith. Boring name right? Well all the same it's still all I had. I was born an orphan and stayed one all 16 years of my life. When I was young the orphanage sent me off to school where I never made any friends, I got build so I started to try to hide from the world my thinking was they can't make fun of you if they don't know you exist, that's where it started no one told me to stand up for myself so I didn't, I just kept hiding believing that's the right thing to do and I got pretty good at it to no one payed me any mind, all the way up till high school, but then I found out hiding doesn't all ways work and the new bully's found me, as I was week and the only fight I had been in was getting beaten up while trying to hide from the world it was pretty plain to see I didn't do very well when I kept getting found, I didn't understand why because I never learned how the world worked, all my time hiding none of my old teachers realised that I didn't understand what I was there for no I was never very bright. Seeing that school was just me not under standing the teacher or getting beaten up I started not going every other day, then I stoped going all together, the people at the orphanage saw me as a wast so I saw myself the same, not having a reason to live I just started to go through life seeing others with friends and family. I realised that the reason I was where I am now was because I started hiding and never learned to stop and find out what life had to offer if I actually worked for it. But at that point I no longer had the drive to try and start again I no knowledge of how to actually do it. It was only watching tv shows and anime that I was really living for at that point I got really into dragon ball since it was about a boy who didn't know left from right becoming a hero, and who doesn't want to be like that, but my favourite had to be Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. Emiya Shirou the hopeless idealist who wanted to save everyone even if it damned him to eternal suffering like his counterpart Archer. I think the reason it hit me so hard was his will to achieve his dream, in my mind that was what it meant to live and to have something to live for.

Anyway I bet your wondering why I started with by saying 16 years in past tense right, that was because earlier today after getting beaten up again I saw a pair of kid no older than 8-9 running across the road with out looking and what I think would be there grandpa crying out in horror as a car come spending around the corner towards them and with out a moments hesitation I ran out and pushed the out of the way, it's no like my life really mattered up to this point so why would I hesitate to put it to use now, at least this way in my list moment my life had purpose, then with the screech of brakes and loud THUD it went dark, just like that, nothing special, just like somebody had flipped a light switch without even a second look, I didn't feel anything, no pain, no emotion it was just dark, no dark is the wrong word it would be more accurate to say it was nothing not even the sound of my own thoughts, and that was it for awhile at least or maybe it was just an instant it's hard to tell, after I found my self in a blank white space that reminded me of the time chamber in dragon ball just with out the building with the door, if front of me was what looked like a young girl but the vibe or feeling or whatever I was feeling didn't seam to fit, it was as if she was the tallest mountain like I should have to tilt my head all the way back just to try to see her properly but she was shorter than me it felt like my head would split just trying to understand what was going on, but I don't think she really cared as she just smiled at me like a little kid with some thing fun to do.

So in an attempt to alleviate some of my confusion I tried to introduce myself to start a conversation.

"Uhh. My name is John what's yours"

To my question she seems to find it funny giggling she responds. " ufufufu that's a strange thing to say when you find your self in a place like this but that's fine, I think you mortals call me something like God or what not and I brought you here pitiful mortal to help you find porpoise in your next life."

Hearing what she said I was confused and surprised that god is a little girl and that reincarnation is a real thing. "so God is real huh that's cool I guess but why would I want to go back into that world that had no place for me."

At that she pouts a little mumbling "what kind of reaction was that" to herself before cheering up saying. "Well if that world has no place for you let's find one that dose and maybe we can work out something fun as well, so what do you say you thing of what kind of world you want to live in and we'll find out what's best to find your way in the new world maybe some extra just for fun."

Thinking it over it's not like I have anything better in mind and maybe this time I can find something that I enjoy if I work hard this time around so I think about it for a bit before responding "I guess there's no reason to say no so what did you have in mind"

Smiling brightly a my reply she says "how about those anime worlds wilt all the cool stuff there you'll definitely find some thing to do and that way we can give you some of those powers or what not. First we should start with the basics and build on top of that here take this and get to work."

Saying that right before my eyes a opaque screen appears fill with options of things like race, gender, name ect. With a humanoid wight figure in the middle. So seeing no reason no to I get started figuring out what I want to be.

[ Name- Yato

Race- dragon/god

Gender- male

Ect...]

There was a lot of options to choose from so I decided why not go big and chose the race as a humanoid dragon god because why not the only visible sign I'm not human is the eyes with dragon like pupils. After picking the race god I thought for my favourite god from anime the anime noragami Yato so I decided to make myself like like him, black hair, ice/sky blue eyes, Japanese. There was extra settings for picking these races being Divinity's and bloodline but I dint really understand it all that well so I set it as recommend and I was done. I looked like Yato just with dragon slit pupils. When I clicked done the girl called god looked it over with a giddy expression on her face saying.

"Since you took the looks of this Yato god you may as well take his inheritance as well, consider it a gift from my to you. Now choose witch world you will be reborn in so we can get started already hehehe" she laughed just thinking about how fun it would be seeing a new god going to a new world to find there way.

Shocked at getting more than he hoped for he decided what world "I choose the world of my favourite anime Fate/stay night"

Nodding she got ready to send him on his way saying "all right but since you chose to be a god you can just show up in the modern word so I'll be sending you back to let's say year 0 on the calendar so have fun see you when a see you."

As I was about to yell out about the year she was sending me to I was hit by a massive amount of dizziness and the next thing I know I was lying on my back looking up at a red wooden arch way that looked like a Torii you would find at a Shinto shrine. Looking around there was a note written in Japanese that I some how know how to read, picking it up it read

" Dear Yato

It's me you favourite god here I just decided that duping you some where random wouldn't be a good thing so I decided to set you up with your very own shrine and a little gift so you don't die

P.S. just because your a god doesn't mean you are all powerful right from the start so get to work on getting stronger

P.s.s. You divinities where set with the Yato inheritance as War and Fortune, so your dragon bloodline took after the more dominant on so that would make you a War dragon"

After reading I looked around and saw only a small shrine so I got up and went to look around, in front of the entrance was was a beautiful katana and a scroll that read 'kenjutsu for dumbies/ new god Yato' seeing this he smiled picking up his only belongings in this new life of his he resolved himself that this time he wold work hard to be the best a what ever he set his heart on as he stepped inside his new home, his new shrine and his new life.
