I saw nothing as I floated around the empty void like space, wondering if this was the so-called 'Afterlife' religious people believed in. If there even was one. Naturally, I didn't believe in something that couldn't be proven in some way, shape, or form.
Still, it was strange how I had the ability to think in this environment. Perhaps there was some truth to the afterlife stuff after all.
I just floated here with my thoughts going through many topics that interested me as I had nothing better to do than ponder the secrets of 'Truth', 'Equality', and our nature as human beings. Philosophical questions may not have much impact until you actually spend time researching them.
For example, the truth is for more complex in nature than one might assume.
If you were to pull out a dictionary, you would get simplistic answers. The truth is factual or in accordance with reality. In every language, truth is often ascribed to things that aim to represent actuality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences.
Falsehood is normally seen as the polar opposite of truth. Truth is argued in a variety of situations, including philosophy, art, theology, and science. Most human activities depend upon the concept where its nature as a concept is assumed rather than being a subject of discussion; examples include most sciences, law, journalism, and everyday life.
Some philosophers believe that the concept of truth is fundamental and that it can not be articulated in terms that are more understandable than the concept of truth itself. The most prevalent interpretation of truth is that it is the connection of language or idea to the mind-independent universe.
The correspondence of truth is the name for this approach.
Various theories and views of truth continue to be debated among scholars, philosophers, and theologians. There are many different questions about the nature of truth, which are still the subject of contemporary debates such as:
How do we define truth?
Is it even possible to give an informative definition of truth?
What things are truth-bearers and are therefore capable of being true or false?
Are truth and falsehood bivalent, or are they're other truth values?
What are the criteria that allow us to identify it and distinguish it from falsehood?
What role does truth play in constituting knowledge?
And is truth always absolute, or can it be relative to one's own perspective?
For generations, there has been on what is truly good and what is truly wrong. Many conservatives still think that truth is pure reality with no room for deception. Others contrastingly feel that truth is relative - that is to say, an individual's own perception of ideals and decisions.
As a result, truth varies among people due to their differing viewpoints. However, the truth is something that everyone believes to be correct. Hence, it is heavily reliant on what a person believes to be real. On the other hand, truth uttered with malice can be far more damaging than a regular old lie. Therefore, truth is defined as a statement that is consistent with reality and enjoyment.
Such things were what went through my mind as I began to think deeper into the nature of truth before I was interrupted by a brilliant yellowish glow blazing into my non existent retina or at least I thought I had no retina or even eyes for that matter.
Was I wrong? Well, it would be a first in my life, but I don't think it would be that way. After I died, I'd suffer my first ever lose. It felt strangely comforting in a way.
"Well, well, it seems my presence has caused you some confusion." A voice from the glow called out as the glow faded revealing a woman. A woman with long silky crimson hair and lustrous silver eyes with a small yellow star like symbol in it.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are a goddess, right? " So far, everything that has transpired around me and the golden glow indicates that this was a possibility. It's an illogical one but still a possibility nonetheless.
"Why, yes, I am a goddess. Specifically, I am a goddess of reincarnation. Now, the reason why you are here is because you were chosen to be reborn by the will of the omniverse." Her way with words seemed to be similar to that of a normal humans just a bit more refined.
So I'm being reborn then. That explains some stuff, actually.
"Right now, let's get down to business."
She clapped her hand together 3 times, and in response, 3 golden glows appeared throughout the room. Each glow was differently sized in correspondence to the item that came from them.
A green chair, a yellow chair with a mahogany table, appeared instantaneously.
"Take a seat so we can have a chat." Her melodic voice sounded out words as I promptly sat down, preparing myself for well a talk.
But why would we need to chat? Perchance is there a process that goes into reincarnating someone? If so how does the process work?
My boundless curiosity got the better of me.
"May I inquire if my supposition regarding the presence of an intricate procedure guiding the phenomenon of reincarnation is accurate?" I decided to use a more interesting way of saying it because my curiosity got the better of me.
Yet she looked surprised by my question.
"Well yeah there is one but you are the first I've seen that has accurately guessed what this chat is truly about."
"It only seems logical that that is the reason for having a chat when a person is being reincarnated in the first place."
"Certainly. Anyways I'll begin my explanation if you have any questions just ask okay."
I nodded my head as I chose to listen to her.
"You are being reborn into Naruto but before I can do so we need to go through the process of utilizing KP or Karmic Points. KP is essentially well Karma earned through your past life. All the good you have done and suffering you have went through is what gains you Karma. Some bad deeds or otherwise crimes can grant you KP if it is done for purely selfless reasons."
"So a steal from the rich and give to the poor kinda thing." I vocalized my thoughts without meaning too.
"Yeah you got it. Anyway's the idea for KP is so that when a person dies they are given access to perks that effect their next life. We actually use a booklet that changes based on the world the person is reincarnating into displaying KP and the perks. Now based on the fact that you have a high KP score you are also allowed to choose an advanced perk for free such as having another worlds powers for your own." She summoned to booklet and handed it to me after speaking and then she started again.
10000 KP. That was the amount of KP I had and on the right it said I had enough for one advanced perk. It displayed those first but I chose to gain something that allowed me to quantify my own strength easier and perhaps gain it faster.
Since Naruto is a world where I would need to become stronger to survive.
Welcome new Gamer would you like to read the tutorial. Y/N
I used my free advanced perk for exactly the thing I needed. I tapped yes and made sure everything worked as I suspected it to do finding something truly unique about this system as well.
(A/N I am sure everyone knows how the Gamer works but I will explain the unique part of my gamer system since it is mostly a unique idea to include for these stories at least).
Social links are unique bonds that are formed with a specific person. These bonds have 10 ranks to them and each social link is based on an Arcana from tarot cards. A bond can also be formed in several ways or a certain requirement has to be met in order to rank a social link up. You can only form 20 social links.
Persona. This was from the Persona series wasn't it.
"You selected the Gamer didn't you?" The goddess asked.
"Yeah I did. Because of it's ability to gauge my power or well stats accurately and partially because it'll help me grow in power quicker." I answered finishing the tutorial and gaining access to abilities from my former life.
Yeah the Gamer allows a person to keep some abilities from their former life. Like Muay Thai a Martial art's style I practiced and also Judo another one I practiced although not as much as Muay Thai.
Both were on the list of abilities I kept alongside: Analysis, Difficult decision making, Lie detection, Creative thinking and Logic based thinking. There were a few things missing there but it did say that not all my skills would be transferred with me.
I read through all of the perks very carefully selecting Massive Chakra reserves first as it'll be helpful to have. After that I chose the clan selection perk choosing Uchiha as my clan simply because of it's benefit's. that put me down to 4900 KP. I used 600 to grab access to the 3 affinities perk. 300 to be adept in chakra control from birth. After that I choose to gain the Jutsu creator perk which allowed me to gain bonuses with Jutsu I create. I obtained the Ninjutsu Talent Perk, Kenjutsu Talent Perk, and finally the Natural Energy perk.
All of this to get me down to 0 KP finally.
Perks have been added would you like to view them. Y/N
I tapped no as I read about them very carefully so I understood their benefit's clearly.
"Alright I'm done." I stated looking at the Goddess in front of me.
"Okay I'll send you there now." She said but I wanted to know something else.
"Mind telling me your name?" I wanted to know badly.
"Saireiko. My name is Saireiko."
After that the world dissipated as I fell into a deep slumber only opening my eyes again when it was time to face my new life.
