1 Chapter 1- Unexpected Circumstances!!!

It was a regular day for everyone, waking up to their alarms and going to their work or school life. However, for our MC it was a completely different situation as he just lost his job a few days ago when he went for a small celebratory party because of closing a big deal with his boss and other members in his office. And everything was going great in fact, Dante our MC, felt that he scored some points with his boss but it was all for nothing when a particular event took place because of how much they have drink through the evening Dante's boss was quite drunk and lost his control over his lust when he started harassing the hostess.

Although, it was a pretty normal situation for women who work in this line and they have their own ways to deal with it but Dante couldn't handle it because it was someone who he has been pursuing a while and to Dante's surprise the women named Claire was interested in him too. So when he saw his boss harassing her, he could keep his anger in check and what flamed his anger was that Claire looked happy and a little flirtatious too, but he reassured himself that she is doing that just because of the job.

As this session of harassing continued for a while, which unknown to Dante looked a little like flirting between his boss and Claire but still assuring himself he tried with his utmost capabilities to control his anger, and to be honest alcohol wasn't helping it at all. But all of it just snapped when his boss tried to grope Claire and before she could react Dante snapped at his boss. He tackled him on the ground and punched him a couple of times on his face while ranting about how he was harassing his girlfriend, everyone from the office even Claire was surprised seeing the scene in front of their eyes and couldn't react for a while. When everyone came to their senses they quickly rushed to separate them, and to Dante's surprise his girlfriend, or at least that's what he thought went to his boss to ask if he is alright after the fight instead of him. This caused a sense of unease in his heart, but he still kept reassuring himself thinking that she was doing so that she doesn't implicate her job, and like this for a while the room was silent, and that was until the boss came to his senses after those few rounds of punches.

He stood up angrily and rushed towards Dante with his right fist clenched and hand-pulled behind his head, all ready to punch him. But Dante didn't react at all because he believes that as they stopped him others will also stop him, which was his mistake before he could think any further he felt a sharp pain on his right cheek with a feeling of dizziness came over his head and he lost his balance and fell down but the pain didn't stop there, because it assaulted his one after another on his face while he started to blackout but not before looking at Claire's angry face.

[Dante's POV]

It all went black, I couldn't feel anything but I still remember Claire's face which had anger all over her face. Was that anger for my sake or directed to me, I am so confused I can't understand it at all. I couldn't help but remember all the times she and I have spent together on all those romance dates we went to. All those times when she was sick I took care of her while taking sick leave myself, although she didn't do the same, I accepted that because she was from a poor background she couldn't afford to take many leaves. It still didn't stop me from loving her, they met 2 years ago while I came here with my previous department's members for a little while, to eat outside and bond when I just joined this job.

It happened when I looked at her, she was beautiful which didn't stop other new friends from staring at her. Although a little irritated I couldn't do much because it wasn't like she was her girlfriend so he endured while staring and admiring her himself. In fact, I was so smitten by her and her smile when she served that I order a bit too much, this didn't go unnoticed by her which is why when we all were leaving she smiled at me and waved me. Just that was enough to lit hope in my heart because you see although I wasn't unpopular, I wasn't popular either especially when it came to women. During my school and college years, I never had a girlfriend which wasn't normal because I wasn't so low in the social hierarchy in my classes but that was all due to my optimistic and cheerful personality, where my looks didn't contribute anything in fact, it might have had some negative effect.

This caused me to believe that it would be impossible for any girl to fall in love with me, unlike me, I have had multiple crushes and some serious feelings for girls throughout my school and college life but unfortunately for me none of them reverted my feelings back. Although, in most cases, it could have been because I didn't tell them about it but that thinking also changes when I thought of try telling one of my crush for whom I had very serious feelings because she was the only girl in my class who would talk to me normally, and I had a close friendship with her. I was sorely mistaken to think that she had feelings for me because when I confessed to her, she just said that she just talks to everyone where I took that as her having feelings for me.

I know I was stupid, but after that rejection, I never tried to confess to anyone. All of you might think, that I only went after the pretty ones well that is true because first you are always attracted to the outer beauty but I always looked for kindness in a woman because not all of my crushes were the most beautiful in the class or anything. And now that I think about it that was my mistake, I confused their kindness as their interest in me and ended up falling for them but every time either we graduated and separated ways or she would end up with someone else. And what pained me the most was when some times they would date some of my friends because then I had to watch and endure as they display their affection in front of me, sometimes it seemed like they were teasing me but I knew it was my imagination but it was very hurtful.

That's why when she smiled that way and waved at me, I was fooled again and thought that as she showing an interest in me. So, I started to come to that bar every day just to order a beer and sit there watching Claire, it may sound creepy but she never disliked or that's what I thought, but because of that we got many chances to talk while there no customers or all orders were fulfilled. This happened for three months after which I finally mustered all of my courage to ask her out because I thought if she rejects me I can always stop coming here, unlike in school I would be forced to meet them every day. But to my surprise and joy, she said, "Yes, you idiot! I was waiting when will you ask me, in fact, I was getting so impatient that I was about to ask you in another month if you hadn't asked me". This sentence from here changed everything I felt about her, if earlier I only liked her or had some interest it all turned to love for me. And I promised myself that, this is the one I will never break her heart, I will always try to fulfill her wishes and I will try my best to keep her happy and most of all never betray her expectation.

Well, I don't know if many people know this, but when people like us have been ignored or shown least interest towards by the other genders. Tend to treasure that one thing that was so hard for them to find, I believe this not only me, any person like me who wasted all his teenage-like looking for love or experience it just for once would cherish the chance they got, as at that time they would not look what was their type earlier or how he/she looks. Because all they want at that point is to just cherish those feelings and experiences that they have looking for almost their entire teenage. Now that I think about it, I think that is what made me shower her with love and made to protective of her because deep inside I was aware there is always a chance that she might fall for someone better looking or well established than him.

And due to that reason, he never failed to go to that bar every evening, so that no one can come in between them. This may sound extreme to others but that is exactly how much I loved her, and which is why I attacked my boss whom I have praised all these years to get into his good books because that is how corporate life works. It is not like I don't work hard, in fact, I have to work extra hard because of all my visits to the bars every day, and those expensive dates and gifts for Claire but I never complained because I was just happy when at the end of the day she holds my hand and smiles at me. As for moving our relationship further in bed, I didn't want to rush it because of two reasons one definitely because I am a virgin but the most important one I was happy with her and didn't want it all to end just because of my stupid control over my lust.

But when I saw that face of her, when my boss was harassing her, when she went towards him after I hit him and everybody separates us and most of all, her not doing anything and staring with anger when my boss was beating me to a pulp. I was expecting other people or my so-called friends from the office to stop my boss because that was dragging them into this mess for no reason, but I don't blame them because all this time that I was in the office I never invested time to stronger my friendship because I was too busy chasing after Claire. Now that I think about it, I have never had a proper person to call a friend because every time I made one or two they would end up with girlfriends and I don't know why but most of them were my crushes. Maybe because I was friends with someone they liked they talked to me more often which I again assumed myself as their interest in me, oh man I was so pathetic. This always caused a constraint on our friendship.

Well, because of me chasing after love, I lost my friends. It's just that I focus too hard on finding love that I always neglected friends, but maybe and only maybe if I had one good friend he would have done something or said something to stop my boss. But what hurts the most, is the person in which I invested most of my time in these past two years didn't do anything but in fact stared at me with anger. And now that I think about it, that stare is the thing that hurt me because I know for sure she wasn't angry for my sake, but she was angry at me, which is confusing and frustrating to me because I didn't do anything wrong. In fact, I helped her from a situation that I was sure she was uncomfortable with even though she showed that she was fine with it.

Well, it doesn't matter anymore, because I woke up later that night in the hospital with horrible pain all over my body. And soon police officers came to my ward explaining, how there has been a case against violence on my boss and hearing that I angrily tried to explain to him the situation too. But I couldn't contain a surprise, disbelief, anger, and horror after hearing what he said next when he came back three or four hours later. I still remember those sentences that angered and saddened me at the same time, "We have investigated the situation and took everyone's statement from the scene and they said that it was you who suddenly attacked your boss while your boss defended himself, and as this was a case of self-defense he is excused from this case but not you". I couldn't believe how they twisted the story, but I still had this hope that Claire would side with me when matters get this serious, which is why I asked the officer, "You should ask the hostess there, her name is 'Claire' she would tell you the truth. That man, my boss, was harassing her which is why I attacked him. Yo...". I couldn't complete my sentence when the police officer said, "We didn't ask the hostess name Claire after you first narrated your story but she said the same thing, in fact she mentioned no sexual harassment from your boss. She said, you just stood up and started beating your boss and commented that you must have had a lot of alcohol."

I was sure that was the last sentence, I heard because after that I blanked out. Suddenly, all the pain throughout my body disappeared and concentrated on the left side of my chest. I could feel it, it was way worse than the broken bone in my hand, ribs, and jaw because was a throbbing pain. It was too much for me to bear that I couldn't stop tears from flowing down, but I know it wasn't the pain that made my tears flow, I was sure about that because after all the pain from fractured pain it didn't cry. However, I know because it was like could hear the smashing inside me but I couldn't think anymore as I blacked out.

[Third Person POV]

Dante woke 12 hours later, with no feeling of pain and a muddy head. He opened his eyes to an unfamiliar celing, and unfocused sounds in the background. But soon Dante sobered up, found himself in the hospital with a nurse checking some documents, when the nurse saw Dante waking up she left the room to call for the Docter and the officer who informed him to call him if the patient gains concisnous. After a while, a man with glasses and black neatly combed hair wearing a white lab coat entered Dante's room, and asked him, "How are you feeling now?".

Dante was confused for a while when he woke up, but soon his memory kicked back and his throbbing pain came back in his left chest, tears still threatened to fall from his eyes but he soon calmed down but that optimistic look from his that he had from his childhood to adulthood even after a lot of letdowns in life, was gone. Replacing it was sad, disappointed, anger, grief-filled eyes, which made him seem a little out of it, but before he could think more of a guy, a doctor to be more precise asked him if he was alright. He really wanted to answer him how he felt but stopped and asked with a small and forced smile, "What happened?".

The doctor nodded and said, "What you experience was a cardiac arrest or a heart attack. We have investigated the cause it was due to the presence of a lot of alcohol in your body and a sudden constraint in your heart muscles.". Dante gave a look of understanding and answered some of the standard questions before a man in a blue uniform and a badge on his chest entered the room. The doctor turned towards him frowned and took the man to the corner talked for a while, and then with an even deeper frown made a hand gesture to the man to continue. The man continued towards Dante and said, "Hi Dante, I am Paul I think you remember as I was investigating your case, you would be happy to know that your boss has dropped all the charges against you while looking at your condition but he mentioned that in compensation he would have to fire, in which I can't do anything because these matters is out of my hand. He told me to tell you that you would get an official letter from the office with the rest of your deserved pay in a week, while you recover. In fact, he is ready to pick up your hospital bill just for this one time, because he believes it was somewhat his fault for his condition. I hope this resolves any tension that you, right?".

Hearing all that, Dante clenched his fist but grudgingly nodded his towards the officer with a clearly forced smile. The officer looked at Dante for a while and then left before exhaling a heavy sigh. Dante, of course, was angry, because he knew what his boss did, by doing all this his image in the office will be maintained in fact, improved and all the negative spot light will be redirected from him to me. But the thing that hurt him most was Claire, still having some minuscule hope he did ask the doctor if a woman named Claire came by when was out of it but the doctor said that no one except for the officer came to check in with him. This really hurt him a lot.

[Time Skip Three Years]

It has been three years since that incident, because of his action he didn't get a proper job anywhere related to his field so Dante has been doing few part-time jobs at supermarkets and other shops to get some money for his living expenses. He has withdrawn from social life, especially from involving himself with the opposite gender at all. Because no one knows to expect him how much damage Claire's incident cause to him, he still remembers how weeks after his recovery he went to the bar hoping he could get back once he had and loved but Claire simply decline to talk and yelled at him in front of all the customers how he almost got her fired and in trouble with cops. Seeing this the manager asked Dante to never come to his bar or else he would file a complaint to the police. After his last hope was crushed, he has isolated himself from people and just does his job and go back, although he had sufficient money to last for a couple of years he spent most of it on his new hobby anime and manga.

He always had some interest in anime and manga but never choose to follow them but when had nothing to do these past years he decided to watch anime and read manga and that was the only time he was happy and cheerful like his past self. The anime he loved the most was FairyTail, not because of magic, action, and adventure but most because of bonds that people shared in it. He envied them because in his life he never had such bonds and deep friendship. He has stopped chasing after love or anything similar because he has lost interest in such feelings and most of all he is scared to ever venture to that side. He completed fairy tail both anime and manga which left him with a feeling that he lost something because of that he read a lot of fanfics and looked for similar novels, anime, or manga with strong friendship and bonds where he found very interesting manga God of High School. Although, not what he was expecting he still liked it because of the action and story, and soon he watched multiple anime and read more than 200 mangas which made him release all the emotional frustration that he had built up.

Like this life continued for him for three years, until on an eventful day he was sleeping in a deep sleep because he had been caught up in a part-time job and hobbies (anime and manga) that he didn't catch up with his sleep properly for a week and a lot of it had accumulated which he decided to catch up on this weekend. But fortunately or unfortunately, the building he was living in caught up in fire after some kids who were left alone at home, tried something funny. Fortunately, for the people and the kids in the building fire department was arrived on time and rescued almost all of them. But to everyone's surprise, when the owner did a headcount one person was missing and when they looked back at the building which was on a blaze that couldn't be brought in control they all shook with similar thoughts, that the one person who was missing was Dante, our MC. Soon, the fire was controlled and firemen soon entered the building to check for Dante if he had survived somehow, but when they entered his room, to their disappointment they saw a corpse burned on the bed in a position as if it was asleep while it was on fire. Which it was, because Dante in such deep sleep that he didn't realize that he was on fire, more accurately, the fire spread so fast that within minutes his body was burned this way.

Soon the incident was settled, the parents of kids represented their kids a lot, and you could see the fear in their eyes because of their pranks a person died, maybe their childhood or personality will never be the same. But one guy oblivious to all opened his eyes to a dark room. Or so he thought, it was an area with no end to it and no sign of light anywhere, at first Dante thought his eyes were closed but he soon realized they were completely open and that he wasn't on his bed anymore. All these things, made him panic a little but he soon managed to calm down, because he thought that he might just be in a dream, and before he could do much suddenly a very bright source of light appeared in front of him which surprised him a lot but mainly close his due to the pain sudden light brought to his eyes. Which made him realize that this is not a dream.

In front of Dante, stood a white figure with features, it just had a silhouette of a person but there were no features on his/her face or body. While Dante was observing the person or the figure, that figure was observing him with interest or that's what Dante thought because there were no facial features such as eyes, nose, mouth to determine his expression. Suddenly, the figure spoke, "You seem, calm boy, maybe because you don't know you died. HAHAHA, while you were asleep.". Hearing this Dante knew three things, one that this figure is male or so his voice is like that, then two he is dead which definitely is a surprise but the bigger surprise is the situation he is in as he has read a lot of fanfics he knew or he hoped that he was in the similar situation, because to be honest he didn't like his life too much expect for the animes and manga he didn't like any other aspect of his life. As for his family, who didn't come when was fired or was hospitalized that was because his parents died when young, his mother died after his birth and his father passed away during his college. Other relatives of his, just didn't bother to keep an active relationship with him, so he wasn't sad about his death only a little surprised.

As for the most surprising thing was this figure or entity in front of him, which spoke again "Oh, you understand quickly. You seem like a smart boy, unfortunately, you have had a hard life. As for the fire, I don't know why did you even end up dying. It was supposed to be another woman who in the next room but somehow you died in place of her." Dante was confused for a while then understood because if this was time for death why would something or someone like would be here, like in novels. So, he quickly asked, "So.... is there something that will happen..." before Dante could continue, the figure laughed a little and said, "What you are thinking is correct, and that fact you know the procedure it helps me work fast, so tell me boy you have five wishes what do you want?".

Hearing those words Dante couldn't contain the excitement he just couldn't, so he thought for while to recheck because Dante like any other person who has read fanfics have already thought of his wishes but he didn't think he would get five wishes so he soon readjusted his wishes and spoke, " For my first wish, I want to reincarnate in the world of FairyTail, Earth-Land, at the time so that I am at the same as Natsu when canon starts, with my memories, attached.". Hearing this the figure nodded and waved his hand, and said "what about your other three wished?". Dante quickly replied, "for my second wish I want all the ability and looks of the Jade Emperor from the manga God of High School, as for my third wish I want all the physical and mental capabilities of the monkey king from the same manga. And for my fourth, I want hyper regeneration like super strong, I should be able to regenerate as long as I have some sort of energy may it be magic, ki, vital, or any other. Finally, my last wish is to have an affinity for all magic and elements."

Hearing Dante, the figure chuckled nervously and said, "You ask for a lot kid, but it was my mistake to not put limits to your wishes and a word from a god is something that can't be broken. So alright!!" while waving his hand in a certain pattern. To this Dante finally couldn't contain himself and shouted, "yesssss....for real!!" seeing this figure just chuckled a little. Then Dante again asked something to the figure, "If you don't mind me asking what and who are you???". Hearing to Dante, the figure remained silent for a while and said, "I am what you call a god, but unlike other gods, I am somewhat high in ranking..hehe.. and as for who I am. I don't think I can tell you yet maybe later". Dante looked confused but before he could ask any more questions, the figure spoke again, "I have done my job, rest is up to you live your life however you want. You should become strong because you would need all the strength you can muster one day. Don't let this life's outcomes hold you back, explore what you haven't and do what you always wanted because this life is a gift or you could another chance. Now goodbye, I have adjusted Jade Emperor's power to this world, and don't worry about the original story too much because those are a different world, but don't too many changes because then your knowledge would be futile, with that my advice for you ends. Hope you have a better life here."

Dante was surprised hearing all these from this figure, because sounded like the figure regretted something but before he could say anything else he was swallowed by a spatial crack, and he blacked out....
