Reborn as a Giant Dragon

*plop*

The cushion indented where the man sat, his muscular frame looking like a broken doll as he slumped on the recliner. His muscular frame was swallowed by the seat as he went limp in the recliner. 

"Hey babe, can you get me a beer please, work was rough today." The mans brown hair covered his eyes as he spoke, but the pleading tone in his voice convinced his girlfriend to grab him one of his tall cans of beer from the refrigerator.

"Alright, but you know I don't like it when you have too much." She got up off the couch next to the recliner and grabbed a can of beer from the fridge. "Can you slow it down a little bit please?"

She strutted towards the man and handed the beer to him. "Don't worry, I'll slow down. Besides, I'm too tired to drink much, just enough to ease my soreness."

The woman walked away from the man towards their bedroom. "I'm going to bed sweetie, just try not to sleep on the recliner, you know how it hurts your back."

"Yeah yeah, I know. I'll join you in bed soon, just gotta unwind a bit." As they finished their short conversation, the man popped the tab on his beer and slowly started to sip on it. He knew he needed to move to the bedroom but his sleepiness caught up to him from several days of work without much rest.

He soon passed out with his beer still clutched in his hand, little did either of the couple know that this would be the last day they saw each other. As the man died in his sleep from exhaustion.

_______________________

Black was all he could say to describe the area around him, it was like being in a room painted by the worlds blackest paint, the one that absorbs light. That's what the man thought as wherever he looked, it seemed as though light disappeared completely.

"I can't tell if this is some fucked up dream or i've been kidnapped, though nobody would want to kidnap me as I have nothing of worth. Other than maybe my girlfriend." The man looked around and he noticed that he didn't have any appendages. His eyes widened as he slowly put the pieces together.

"Oh goddamn it, am I dead. My boss is gonna kill me." He put his imaginary hands behind his head and started murmuring about a pay deduction.

"Was your boss really that bad, that he'd take away some of your pay for being dead." Another voice resounded from the empty 'room'. The voice echoed as the man stopped panicking and started to look around the room in curiosity.

After looking in a full 360 and not seeing anything out of the usual, he spoke. "Is there anyone there, or am I going insane. probably the latter." He whispered the last part to himself. 

"God, are all those memes I laughed at about people with schizophrenia coming back to bite me." The room reverberated with noise, as a voice that sounded ancient boomed. 

"No, your schizophrenia memes, are not coming back to haunt you. You are in my office, though I deactivated it because I didn't think anyone would come to visit me." The voice continued to speak.

"It seems you were unlucky as I was out of my office for a couple millennium. Sorry you had to wait so long." The voice looked around in the room as if in thought, then waved it's hand, as he did so light returned to the room. As soon as the light disappeared, it looked like they were teleported as the room completely changed. There was wood flooring, dry wall, and even a desk with two chairs, one in front and one behind.

 The voice was silent as a swirl of light appeared near the man and millions of microscopic blue crystals that stood in formation resembled a old man with a long beard. The crystal structure waved its hand and what looked like skin began to form over the crystals, hair began growing after. Then cloth popped out of nowhere and wrapped themselves around it like a toga.

"This is a much better form for communicating with lower lifeforms such as yourselves, in our true forms you would die just from seeing us, truly unfortunate." The apparition turned flesh walked over to the chair behind the desk and sat down. he motioned for the unnamed man to do the same on the other side.

The man who was silent the entire time, looked at the being nervously before speaking. 

"So I'm going to guess I'm dead right? So am I going to heaven or hell or will I be reincarnated like those novels I read during work." 

The being chuckled at the chain of questions. After finishing his laugh session, he opened his mouth to talk.

"Your right, you are deceased. And normally you would go to plane in between heaven and hell, a kinda middle point. But before I entered, I notice you in here so I watched you for a couple years, and I must say you made me laugh quite a bit, I haven't laughed like that in centuries. Because of this I'll give you a reward, I'll let you choose between going to heaven or being reincarnated into a world of your choosing, with some 'requests'"

The man who seemed nervous before suddenly beamed with joy as his eyes sparkled. 

"Reincarnate me, Reincarnate me please." The godly being seemed like he knew this would happen as he had a small smirk, with no ill intentions.

"And what do you mean requests, Isn't it normally wishes?" The being eyes narrowed as he didn't expect this small choice of words to be noticed by the man.

"Well instead of you wishing for whatever you want and me granting it you exactly as is stated, which because I have to grant it exactly as said, leads to the reincarnates being sometimes unsatisfied with their wishes. You will tell me what you want, and I'll tweak it as I see fit to match the power scaling of your world, and I'll also add a bonus or two if your request interests me."

The man put his hand to his chin contemplating what he heard, before he nodded in approval and started to begin asking for his requests.

"Well, before I begin how many requests am I allowed to get?"

"That is a very good question, normally people get 2 requests, but because I like you I'll give you three. And yes, it is favoritism."

The man opened and closed his mouth a couple times, stunned at the brashness of the godly being, but recovered and began his requesting process.

"I want to be born in a fantasy world with magic, with many races like humans, elves, dwarves, dragons, etc. I want to be born as the strongest race in that world. Feel free to create lore for that world that makes it interesting for me. I want to be the peak of that race, kind of like Gojo Satoru from JJK, when he was born the balance of the world was changed because he was too strong. I want it to be something like that. and for my last wish I want the strongest possible affinity for every magic type and fighting style. So I would be a genius in every type of magic affinity, for example fire or ice, and I would be able to learn fighting styles very easily and incorporate them into my own style."

The being nodded his head along every word the man said, then when he finished explaining his requests the old man signaled him he understood everything.

"Holy yap sesh, I thought being in a room by yourself for thousands of years would make you more quiet." the man looked flabbergasted by what the godly entity said.

"Alright, all requests have been granted, though before you wake up I'll tweak them to make it more interesting for me and some of my friends who will be watching you."

"Anyway, begone from here, I have work to do now." With a wave of its hand the being sent the man flying into a portal created by a tear in space. While in the portal, his mortal body was atomized, his soul kept safe by the beings influence. 

After some time his soul entered through the outer shield sphere of a universe, then a galaxy, then a solar system, then a lone planet in the outer edges of the system. His soul easily penetrated the thin mana shield on the perimeter of the planet, then through the atmosphere. 

And into a clutch of eggs, the one he entered was almost 3 times as large as the others, and it was in the very center of the pile. Clearly favored by whatever laid the egg, as it had many layers of animal pelts and soft leaves underneath it, while the other eggs only had a small single layer of leaves to protect them from the cold stone ground.

As the mans consciousness awakened while inside the egg, he tried to move but realized his limbs felt foreign to him, he didn't feel the normal four limbs, it felt like he had seven instead. 

After shifting around inside the crowded egg, he realized that he wasn't human anymore, and he focused on his limbs and trying to get used to them. 

While getting used to his new body, he heard the sound of wings flapping while inside his egg. When he heard the noise he stopped moving and was trying to hear, he couldn't hear anything for a moment, but out of nowhere a enormous earthquake started to shake his egg but for a moment as what he could assume to be his parent landed on the ground, shaking the entire area around the clutch of eggs for tens of seconds.

As the earthquake died down he noticed the there were no more sounds from anywhere, and assumed that his parent had lied down and taken a nap.

He took advantage of this and began to continue to try to get used to his body while inside the egg.
