The Beginning.

I'm walking home from the grocery store and suddenly I hear a loud scream from down the sidewalk I look ahead and see a lady running away from a masked man in fear, the masked man in question has a knife in hand and so a sudden burst of heroism he decides to step in and help the lady, ignoring all logic.

As soon as the lady gets close enough I shout at the man " Hey you, stop right now! " hoping this shout but sadly it of course didn't.

The man keeps running toward me and the lady, knife in hand, I jump in front of the lady, stupidly shielding her expecting the man would stop right as the knife is about to stab her but of course he didn't so I have my abdomen get pierced in her stead.

My eyes widen in shock, my hands trembling and I stupidly grab the knife and pull it out of my abdomen, blood speaking all over the masked man, realizing I probably shouldn't have done that as it just sped up my demise.

I fall to the ground, my eyes feeling heavy and gradually closing and I start reminiscing on my life and all the things I wish I could have done and achieved, and the things I should have and knew I could do better, sighing aloud I feel the weight on my eyes growing heavier until they fully close, and once they do my life flashes before my eyes.

I was a gifted child when I was young and still immature, my parents realized this and I came to be my family's only hope for a bright future, but this pressure got to me as I slowly grew older, my parents forced me to study and nothing more, no fun activities or hanging out with friends, and with time my parents pressure slowly got worse and worse, and I steadily started falling into despair.

I fell into depression as I aged, and my parents realized this and decided to give up hope on me, kicking me out as soon as I turned 18 eventually I got a job at a black office company which forced me to work long hours and sometimes even sleep in the office.

And so I on my way back home decided to go to the store and get some essential needs and also groceries, leading to my current predicament.

The flashbacks end fully and I awaken in a desert with white sand and a starry sky, looking around for a moment I notice a huge portal in the form of a door, I slowly get up and cautiously walk towards it, deciding this can't get much weirder I walk through and the scenery changes entirely into a traditional Japanese room.

I look around for a second before I notice an old man kneeling on a zabuton with a chabudai in front of him, seeing the zabuton across from him I decide to do so too, kneeling on the zabuton across from the old man.

" Hello young Kazuko, would you like some tea? " Hearing the old man's words I decide to politely nod my head, and so the old man taps his index finger and two cups of tea appear.

I am momentarily shocked by this but I quickly get over it and pick up my cup of tea, sipping on it slowly and deciding to listen to the old man.

The old man also takes a sip of his tea before sitting it down and stroking his goatee, thinking of what to say.

" Ahem, so you are probably wondering why you are still alive after what happened right? " The old man asks with a smile.

I looked at the old man and decided to quickly respond without hesitation " That's exactly what I'm wondering… "

The old man nods and strokes his goatee again before he continues talking " Well to sum it up in a few words, the world management department got the wrong person, it was supposed to be someone else with a similar last name to yours. "

The old man sips his tea after explaining, I process what he said and obviously I'm a bit mad.. after all I had to die because someone else's mistake, I sip my tea and quickly calm my nerves.

" Can you do something like revive me or something.. " I ask with a serious tone, deep down hoping the old man says yes.

The old man's face twists to a regretful expression before saying " No can do, currently your body on earth is just an empty husk without any soul, and it's already been a while since you died, meaning your body probably already rotted. "

" But we do have another option for you... " The old man says in an optimistic voice.

" And that option is? " I ask in an extremely skeptical tone.

" Reincarnation with a system as a form of our sincerest apologies towards you. " the old man says with a wink, knowing I would be most likely be elated by this, and I was indeed.

" A system!? I mean, ahem, that sounds good. " I say in an excited voice " But first can I decide what kind of system I want? "

" Sure, I suppose you can do so and I'll also let you decide where you want to be reincarnated too.. " The old man says.

I excitedly explain what kind of system I want without wasting any time, some of the main points being that it doesn't have a consciousness and I can freely redistribute all my stats whenever I want, and also gain stats by training.

" Hmmm I guess I'm okay with that, okay sure let's go with that, and what world would you like to be reincarnated into? " The old man asks.

I think about where I want to be reincarnated for a moment, pondering before finally coming to a decision.

" I would like to be reincarnated into a modern superpower world first, the world doesn't really matter. " I say and then continue sipping on my tea, finally finishing it.

" Hmmm, okay, I'll grant that too, and also be warned that you may get a little dizzy when you arrive. " The old man claps his hands and I get sucked into a portal, into an entirely new world.

I awaken extremely dizzy and dazed, looking around and seeing two adults standing above me, and I also appear to be in a crib, I then look at my hands and see they are small, remembering the god's words that he would be reincarnated, I look up at the two people who I assume are my parents in this new world, speaking a language I don't yet understand.

Suddenly my diaper feels warm, wondering why I look down and notice a brownish color, sniffing for a moment and I'm absolutely and utterly disgusted and so he thinks ' Did I just.. poop myself!? ' I unknowingly start crying all of the sudden, my new parents rushing to my aide and changing my diaper quickly, I calm down and slowly drift to sleep, beginning my new adventure as a reincarnate in a new world.
