<... Please>

Fine! I got hit by a God Damn Truck! Are you happy now... now let me get on with my inner monologue.

<... Ok>

I never even thought about what would happen if I died, I never really had time to worry about that sort of stuff, with my little sister to take care of and a full-time job, I only ever had time to think when I was asleep or on Sundays, even then I never had any dreams and I spent that time reading manga.

So you'd could imagine that I never had anytime to think of such things, and even when I did it just made me really depressed and sad.

So with that said, I still needed to figure out where I was.

The air was thick and warm, it all smelled of Burnt onions and raw fish, something I just couldn't comprehend. The space around me was all black, except for the occasional small crackle of blue and red light, I felt like I was in free fall, so my stomach wasn't having the best time of its life.

Even after a few minutes of just sitting there thinking, the closest thing I could think of was that I was in a comatose state and all this was in my head, but that was impossible, I had been hit by a truck while it was going at full speed towards me, the thing ran me over and I could feel my spine and rib cage being cracked and run over before everything went black.

As I continued to think, suddenly there was a bright flash of light and the feeling of falling went away as I man now stood in the void in front of me.

He was tall and muscular, he wore a pristine white set of robes with a black t-shirt and long pants, he had tanned skin, white hair with a set of piercing blue eyes and a grinn that could put a person in a toothpaste commercial to shame.

"For you who has summoned me, I am bound by wishes three, make them now, or forever bow" said the man as he looked at me wih his steely gaze.

"...what?" he then just started to laugh as his grin became wider and the black space started to turn a pleasant shade of rain cloud grey "HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA... don't worry, that was just a bit, so... Hi, my names God, but you may call me his holy eminence, I am here to grant you two wishes, and if I find them funny enough I'll grant you a third one" he said as he space went slowly from a rainy grey to a pale offshoot white.

Ok so after he saw that I didn't under stand he explained it to me what my situation was, and I got to say... It was a pleasant surprise to find out that I would get three wishes.

I'll spear you the boring details, but I had essentially died by the hand of God before my time, the truck driver had died while a few metres away from me from a mixup on deaths list and in turn I was entitled to two wishes of my choice.

"... And if I hadn't got to you as soon as I noticed your soul in the stream of reincarnation, you would have not gotten your wishes" he said finishing his long rambling speech.

"Ok, so what should I wish for?" I asked God, "Well that's a tricky one, I always beloved that a second chance at life is always the way to go and if you're looking to go with something more in line with your interests, say... manga and anime, It's would be an exciting life to be reborn in an anime world, I am personally a fan of the anime worlds of Food Wars, Danmachi and Darling in the Franxx" he said, "hmm, ok, Ill take you advice on this one his Holy Father, I wish to be reborn in the anime world of Danmachi, if possible, and for my second wish... I'll take a cheat system like from all the Isekai manga I have read".

God gave a small nod "ok well both of those are going to require some paper work" he said as he pulled a pile of papers out of nowhere "paperwork?" I asked "yep, there I a few things we need to get out of the way, first is the process of reincarnation, it works by attaching your existing soul to that of another one, essentially making it that of a shared life, it would make you that persons sibling or family in some way, you must choose someone to be your new family, who will it be?" he asked.

This took some time to finger out it I think after a few minutes of thinking I figured it out "I wish to be the older brother of Bell Cranel, and if you will allow it, I would like a skill that helps me grow as well, I don't want to be left behind by my own family" I said with a sad look on my face.

I was sad because it just hit me about my sister, she would grow up alone and without anyone to raise her, God noticed this and gave me a sympathetic smile, "... Listen, I'll grant you your extra wish about the skill, but I'll also do you a favour, I'll make sure that your sister will be taken care of, would that stop... this" he said as he gestured to me.

Honestly it wouldn't make me feel better, we'll it would but I would always prefer that I'd be a the one to take care of her, but God did say in his lecture that it would be impossible, so I guess I would have to settle for this "sure, thanks" I sad as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"ok, second and last thing is the system, I can give you one of two types of system, a dungeon crawler system, which is the specific system I offer to people I sent to versions to the danmachi world, or I can give you the second one which is a general system that is just like a RPG interface, the first would be better, but-" before he could continue I stopped him there.

"Just give me the first one, I want to get going now" I said.

God nodded and with a click of his figures I found my self in a very different place.
