Chapter-1 Choosing my fate

I don't know how much time has passed, or even know if there is a concept of time here.

While I am here surrounded by pure darkness without being able to see anything but darkness, or it will be that I am wrong, and it is that I have my eyes closed like an eternal dream.

Although I can't feel, hear or smell anything either, it will be that I will be totally in a dark world, without light, smell, sense, and nothing but darkness.

Who knows, I just know that it's been too long that I'm here to realize that I'm not dreaming or still alive to be here.

I wonder how long will I still be in this place, how should I call it nothingness, hell, or maybe eternal sleep? I wish someone could tell me, as I am curious to know where I am.

I've spent so much time here, that I've forgotten the fear of being alone. I must say that anyone here, in this place, should get used to it with time. Or maybe I'm wrong, and I'm special.

That could be.

As time goes by, I start to remember how I started from watching movies to then move on to watching anime, after a boring time not finding anime to move on to reading light novels.

I remember how some xianxia stories I read were very interesting and then became very identical and boring.

Speaking of novels, I remember one a little, What was it called.

The only thing I knew is that the main character was called jian chen, I think it was, how being the son of a divine emperor I think it was. He reincarnates in the body of an already dead boy who was already in the coffin.

Mm… I think at the end he stays with two women, where one gets her pregnant and he doesn't realize it.

How hard it is to remember the name, I only know that domestic a dragon that was made extinct and defeated a certain lord asura, helping the peacock king of 7 colors.

While I'm lost in memories, I hear a noise that wakes me up.

Tintin… Tintin…

As I roll over to turn around, I see in my view that there is a white light flickering with each tinkle of what appears to be perhaps a bell.

Although I also realize that I can see and hear, although before how much I was here I always screamed or so I thought, I just never heard my voice nor could I touch myself or feel anything of sentience. 

Realizing that I don't have a body or maybe a soul.

Though I put aside my doubts temporarily, I first focus on the white light in the distance that keeps flickering with the tinkling, I seek to get closer.

Although I don't know if it's my imagination, but apparently I feel like I'm heading towards the light.

After minutes, hours, or maybe days.

I feel like I'm already close, but as time goes by, it takes longer and longer for the light to flicker along with the tinkling.

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but being somewhat different from the time I was here. It gave me hope to know where I am or if I can at least get out of wherever I am.

Where I don't know if it's just a conscience of mine, maybe my soul. Possibly my body itself, but I make even double the effort to get soon to where is that light that maybe is, as they said before when I was alive, 'the light at the end of the tunnel'.

Time passes and I am getting closer.

The light and the tinkling gradually lose the light where it becomes opaque, and the tinkling takes longer and longer to be heard.

_____________

After days or years, I can see a white rectangle, there seems to be an open door through which a white light comes out, illuminating all this darkness and guiding me towards it.

Apparently under the door frame or entrance. There is something bright that if I'm not mistaken is the thing making the noise in this deadly silence.

As I run, fly or who knows what I do to get closer to the light, I see how little by little the darkness or nothingness begins to consume the white rectangle. As the corners are being consumed by a black color that little by little, the white color of the rectangle is disappearing.

I thought I was close to arriving, but apparently I was wrong.

_____________

After seeing how, w I get closer and closer to the rectangle where 90% of it is being consumed by the darkness.

I feel a bad feeling, I don't know if it's good or bad, but seeing the only thing different since I've been here. I don't want to miss the opportunity to enter the rectangle, hoping for a chance to get out of here.

 Furthermore, I'm almost there.

_____________

I'm close.

I see the entrance and the hanging bell.

While I see how the whole rectangle is already consumed by darkness, where only the bell persists before almost being consumed.

10 meters

5 meters

1 meter…

Once I cross the entrance, I shout "Yes, I made it".

Once inside, I feel relief as well as a pulse throughout my body that may be adrenaline.

Although I am already inside, I see that the darkness that is consuming the bell has not yet stopped.

I reach to close what looks like a door, but before I close it, I want to grab the bell that is still hanging outside.

Once I try to take it I feel an extension of myself that soon after I feel something that I always miss feeling that was touching something.

Once I take the bell, I proceed to close the door.

As for why take the bell, well, let's just say that thanks to the noise is thanks to what I woke up from my deep thoughts.

Although, I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. But I already did it, so no way.

Once I start to see the bell which is of a golden color with a dark half. I start to observe it well, making me curious until I get bored.

Once I look around, I see that now I can see that I have something like a body. I see what looks like my hand holding the bell, but it seems transparent.

Once I start to look around, I start to notice my legs and other body.

I try to touch my face, but it seems to go through my face as if it doesn't exist, I even try to touch my feet, hands and more. But I can't, the only thing that doesn't go through my body is the bell.

There are also all the white walls of the rectangle inside. 

Only now that I start to look around me do I see, I'm in a kind of white room, although I can see the outline a little from the corners. 

I just hope I don't stay cooped up in here for too long like when I was outside surrounded by darkness, although to say I didn't feel tired and hungry is a good thing.

But I still miss food, after all I remember a lot of great foods, apparently I can't even cry or sleep either.

What did I do to deserve this, as I check everything with curiosity, which after a while turns into boredom, I start trying to look at my face in the reflection of the bell?

Only to realize I have nothing on my face, no eyes, ears, nose, and hair.

I look like a featureless humanoid, like a ghost, perhaps.

As I play with the bell, I ring it. 

Tintin… Tintin…

After three chimes, the little bell returns to its full golden glow, illuminating the entire room once everything is back to normal.

The room darkens and in front of me, a white panel appears.

A white panel appears.

Hello…

Welcome survivor.

Congratulations

You have arrived on time to this separate space within the time limit.

You have passed the test, therefore, you have 4 options:

(But you have completed a hidden mission, which was to take the bell).

As a result, there will be additional rewards in the 4 options you want to choose.

But you have also unlocked the 5 option.

Choose wisely:

1- return to your original world with your memories intact and good health all your life. You can go back from when you were in your mother's womb, as a teenager or as an adult. You decide yourself at what age you decide to return.

Likewise, you passed the hidden test: you can ask for a power such as a strong physique, high intelligence or more. It can only be an ability or power that does not exceed the level of this world.

2- you decide to pass to the afterlife, where souls rest in tranquility and without worries.

You passed the occult test: Even in the afterlife, you can enjoy tranquility and more comfort than other people.

3- you decide to return and spend your whole life in nothingness.

You passed the hidden test: you can have an infinite inventory of food, books, movies and more. To spend your entire existence in nothingness.

4- reincarnation, transmigration, or rebirth. In a fictional world of your choice. With a power of your choice, but that is of the world you choose to live in.

You passed the hidden test: you can pick to merge up to 5 different worlds into one, and have a power you want from any fictional world, on the condition that you will adjust such power to the level of the merged world.

Not satisfied with any of the above, like every man you like all or nothing. And you want to go to any known fictional world. Not satisfied with previous choices, you want to meet all your favorite characters, you want to flirt with women you never thought existed.

Or, well, maybe you discover a new taste and want to pick up men. It's never too late to find new tastes.

Here are the 5 options.

5- you can go to any fictional and/or new world you want. Manwha, manhua, manga, light novels, fanfiction, movies, series, comics, original or more.

You can go to any world, and meet all of them. Pick up men or women. 

Be good or bad. 

Be true to the plot or mess up the plot.

You decide the option you want.

Note: there are restrictions.

_______________________________________

While I'm happy for some choices and for others, wondering if I'm not getting screwed by this system or whatever.

Just why I don't have human traits, otherwise I would have the face of yes I'm getting screwed by this system or whatever.

Worst of all, reading all the options a second time, I realize that even the afterlife may even exist privileges, which is no longer anything comfortable and without worries.

While returning to the nothingness, who would go back there, even if I had an infinite food inventory. I wondered if I could eat, since I have no human traits let alone I don't know if I would survive the food in the nothingness.

As for returning to my original world, I have no family at all. Even if I return to my mother's womb, I don't think it would change that she left me abandoned in an orphanage, as the caretaker told me.

It would only change that I could see who my mother is and maybe change what I want, or be rich or be with some girls I'm interested in. But come on, if the fictional I thought is real, then I already know what my decision would be.

As for option 4 and 5, it's obvious that I prefer option 5, although I don't know what would be the restrictions there would be. But I prefer to take the risk.

"Choose option 5" and once I say my decision, I hope you tell me the restrictions.

____________

Timbre!

Congratulations on deciding the all or nothing option 5.

As a reward for selecting option 5 you are given a choice.

Select a character from any world you want. 

Note: the character you pick will be your companion, so pick wisely which character you want to decide, remember to know their character, gender, personality or that suits your taste.

_______________

Mm… What mrd, didn't you say you could travel to any world you want, what is this about deciding a companion will be the restrictions or is it like deciding to be your friend, family, or something else.

Mm… Think Alex… Fuck I already regretted it, but I'm sure that even if I back out of option 5, this damn system or whatever won't help me, it might even turn out worse than it already is.

Mm… Firstly, it's obvious that a female character, let's see, I don't think I'll be reincarnated in the body of the one I choose. I just hope it won't be some kind of minion, family, or pet of the character I select.

Female characters I would decide: black widow, sona, rias, Kurumi, Asuna, mickasa, hestia, lili, Violet, Miku, Zero, Bulma, inove, n18….

She's already, Even though she didn't come out much in the story, and she's passed off as a stalker. But hey, it's my life, and I'll know what I select.
