Lookism: The Road to Unstoppable Strength

"It's dark here, where I am, wait why can't I feel my body? What the hell is happening?"

I recall being in my room when suddenly, a piercing pain seized my chest. My parents acted swiftly and called for an ambulance without hesitation. I mentally prepared myself for the familiar scenery of a hospital room, but to my surprise, I find myself in this peculiar state where I am unable to perceive or feel my own body. The most distressing part is the complete absence of my emotions they seem to have vanished into thin air.

Could it be that I have passed away due to heart failure? Well, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. I've always known about my weak heart, having already undergone two heart bypass surgeries in my lifetime. The first was when I was just a child, addressing issues with the chamber wall, and the second to tackle heart size enlargement (RVH).

"Hah, I can't even express my gratitude to my mom and dad for their unwavering love throughout my life."

~"Hahaha Interesting."

"Huh, who is this? What is interesting and where I am?"

~"You are an impatient child. Ask one question at a time there is no rush."

"Okay, first tell me who are you?"

~"Let me introduce myself. You may refer to me as God or as one of the Supreme Beings."

"Oh, so I am in hell or heaven?"

~"You are neither in hell nor heaven. Its 'void' realm."

"Ah, I see. So that's why I feel no sensations here. But shouldn't I be in hell? Well, I suppose it's a relief not to be there."

~"Haha, is that what concerns you?"

"Dear God, then why am I here? What is the purpose?"

~"When the physical body perishes in the materialistic world, the soul enters the void realm, merging with the world while leaving its consciousness behind. However, there exist rare souls who awaken their consciousness in this void realm."

"So, am I an anomaly?

~"Technically speaking, yes, but it's not a negative thing. It's an extraordinary achievement worthy of admiration. It signifies your strong will to live freely, and you possess a powerful soul."

'Wow, I guess I truly am remarkable, at least in the void realm. Even God is commending me.'

"Well, ahem, thank you. Now, what lies ahead for me? Will I have the opportunity to be reborn or transmigrate to another world with desires and wishes?"

~"Hahaha you really are an interesting child, well that's right as your will to live is strong enough to break the world's law and it's really impressive. I will grant you 3 wishes except for immortality."

It seems like those animes and novels were onto something after all. So, I can ask for anything except immortality. Well, that's not something I need anyway.

"Alright, I've made up my mind. For my first wish, I want to transmigrate into a crossover universe that combines anime and comics. Is that possible?"

~"It is indeed possible, considering the existence of infinite universes. With infinite possibilities, there are bound to be universes where such crossovers occur. However, it's important to note that every action has an alternative reaction. This means that it would be an alternate universe, capable of accommodating different power levels. Does that arrangement work for you?"

"Is that so? I don't mind as long as I get the chance to meet those characters and lead an exciting life."

"For my first wish, I want a crossover between the Lookism verse, the Mercenary Enrollment verse, and the Baki verse."

'In my previous life, I was drawn to sports and even practiced MMA, but my body was weak, and I couldn't fulfill my dream of becoming the strongest. Being at the pinnacle and the thrill of facing formidable opponents gave me immense satisfaction. Now, I have the opportunity to truly live my dream life. It's fantastic!'

~"Granted, but remember that there will be a corresponding reaction, so be prepared for that."

"Alright, As for my second wish, I desire the ultimate skill Raphael from Tensura."

~"Child this request cannot be fulfilled. It would disrupt the universal laws to an extent that cannot be granted, ask for something else that aligns with the power levels of your desired alternate crossover universe."

"Well, that's a shame. Can I customize my unique skill instead?"

~"Absolutely, as long as it doesn't violate the laws."

'Hehe, gotcha.'

"Then, I wish to have an AI with a similar ego to Raphael, which will be connected through nanomachines in my body."

~"Affirmative."

"For my third wish, I want the skill called Predator, which allows me to fully analyze and extract the DNA of any target, and if provided with the necessary resources, duplicate it."

'Hehe, with this skill, I can easily become overpowered by exploiting the loopholes. Aren't I clever?'

~"Hmm, that's a tricky request. Alright, granted. I will allow it. In return, I have a special surprise for you in the materialistic world. However, you must first earn the qualification to meet my materialistic body."

"Huh, what does that mean?"

~"Well, enough talking. It's time for you to depart now. You will transmigrate into a random body in a random place. Wishing you the best of luck."

"Hey, wait! At least, can you repl--"

On the floor of a small house, lies the lifeless body of a teenage individual, bearing bruises that hint at a brutal fight. Suddenly, a flash of lightning surrounds the body, and it stirs back to life.

"Ah, my head... It feels as if someone is jabbing needles all over my body. What's happening?"

"Oh right, it seems I have transmigrated into this body. What's wrong with it?"

[Your body has suffered from fractured ribs on the left side and extensive bruising throughout.]

"Oh, is that you, The AI with an ego?"

[Yes, I am here at your service, master.]

[Master, may I request a name for myself?]

"Oh hmmm... As you are bound to my soul and share the same mind, so, in that case, your name should be called "Rooh" which means spirit. Is it to your liking?"

[Yes, master, I really like it.]

"Very well, Rooh. Can you analyze the memories of this body and provide me with a brief summary? Also, please investigate the cause of death."

[Affirmative. Sending the details directly to your mind.]

"So, this body's name is Rudra, which is of Indian origin, and his Korean name is Seo Jun. He is 17 years old in Korean years, which corresponds to 16 years in other countries. He is of mixed heritage, with a Korean father and an Indian mother. Unfortunately, his parents passed away two years ago in a plane crash under mysterious circumstances, leaving him to live alone in his house."

"Rooh, what about the cause of his death?"

[This body had a chronic condition that resulted in a slowed heart rate. Due to the chest injuries sustained during a fight, the heart stopped pumping blood.]

"What in the world? Why, why, why does this always happen to me?"
