The world God only knows

{Wait a bit before you give me the world you are going to}

-You cut me again…

{... I need to tell you about the possible "competition" you will be having throughout your adventures.}

-What now?

{I told you previously that there were others like me, right? The thing is, just like you there will be other Champions with their respective powers. Even though the chance of you actually stumbling upon one is very slim, considering that there is an infinitude of worlds out there, that does not remove the chance of you going into an already modified world or meeting other "Ranked" beings. Most of the time, there won't be a confrontation between you and them, but under some very specific situations, they may engage in combat against you. For example: low quantity of source energy, a specific treasure within the world, simple spar, or even a "rogue" being. These are just a few of the many situations}

-Fucking great…

{Language, but yes I agree with you. The worst of them is without a doubt assassins.}

-What now?!

{Look, I am the daughter of 2 powerhouses who participated in the creation of the nexus, and I am their only child, hence, I shall be frank with you. There might be danger out there so I am giving you a chance to leav....}

-You can stop right there. When you gave me the chance to partake in this adventure I was already up to face some challenges, so there is no need to ask me that, and anyway I don't want to go back to my previous life yet, not when my dreams are right in front of me.

{Humans and their greed...}

-Hey!

{But thank you nonetheless} said the goddess while chuckling

-But since we are on this topic. Can I go back to my world? I mean, what would be the cost, and most importantly, is there any risk to my family back there? Can my enemies track the world? What if…

{Shut it a bit} Said the goddess while interrupting me. Again.

{Listen, you can go back, but not through my help. Meaning, you will have to find your way back by yourself, and second, your world is currently under protection for a period of time. After this period ends the world will receive a special barrier that will protect it from outside threats, and when I mean "outside" I mean from nexus-related beings. The barrier won't help if aliens decide to invade, or if the Humans there decide to wage war against each other. As for the barrier itself, the best way to strengthen it is to just increase my rank as I am tied with you, you are similarly tied with me. So stop worrying and get to work}

-Okey… sish, so much for my worries. But you are right, I need to cool down a little, I guess it isn't that easy to leave your family behind. Can you give me a teacup of my favorite tea before I go, at least?

{Sure}

In front of me, a table filled with many sorts of snacks and beverages appeared, from my favorite drink to my favorite food, great.

As I ate I thought about all of my life and what led me to this situation, my family trips, school trips when I gained my first game console, and when I broke my first finger to when I had my first pathetic love which led to my current passive-aggressive state towards relationships in general. My life wasn't bad for the most part, from all my wrath on online games to praying to all gods in existence for an item drop in an RPG. This life… I enjoyed most of it, at least the worry-free days I had at its start.

-It's t-time. I said while stuffing a strawberry muffin into my mouth. Wait, do I even have a body?

{You currently have something similar to a projection of your body and PLEASE do not speak while you eat.}

Gulp -eating sounds-

-Okay

-For my first world I want to go to the IS-Infinite Stratos World.

The goddess shot me a disapproving look

-Listen to me first. I have no intention to do any of the things you might be thinking, and if you stop to think for a bit, it's one of the safest worlds out there, depending on where I am exactly, but I am considering that I will start from zero as a baby. As long as I can enroll in the IS academy, I will literally receive protection from all of the countries at the same time. Well, kind of, but it's the safest you can imagine. As long I play my cards right, I can get a personal IS before the Dangerous parts of the cannon start, and with my current powers plus whatever I will have in the future, I will be literally unbeatable in any ordinary situation, even more so if I befriend the protag of the original series. In fact, I don't even need to finish the canon story, I can leave there as long as I have a decent enough IS. Good plan no?

{... In a sense, yes… I hate to admit it, but you are right. But you can't forget to remember that just because that world is "weak" that doesn't mean you should underestimate them. So according to your plan, I imagine you want to be born as a baby 16 years before the start of cannon right? That just goes with what I wanted.}

-Yes and I want my birthday to be just around the time before the start of cannon so that I can be 17 years old at the start of cannon so that I can get the most of the physical bost gained with maturity.

{... What else} said the goddess while menacingly staring at me.

-... The usual. Very handsome looks, -not that I wasn't but- I will become Japanese after this. I would like to keep my height of around 1,85 meters(6 foot tall) as I know that I will probably get higher when I start to work out and pack some muscles, and to be well endowed please.

{...}The goddess looked really angry…

-Come on, this is a classic request that every male wants, be it needed or not. It might not help me now but will surely boost my confidence in the future and …

Do you know about the big bang? If so then I am sure that it would look like this. On the horizon, an ever-expanding ball of plasma-like substance made its way to me at an unbelievable speed, and then darkness again, followed by the biggest headache I ever had.

I tried to scream but couldn't

{Feww I feel much better now}

-What was that for!?

{For making me increase your dick}

-... Sorry…

I fucked up this time, didn't I?

{Yes you did}

{But jokes aside I already knew this would happen eventually, it's just that I thought I could take this better… It seems I can't}

-Can I go now?

{Let me see. Powers-check, Explanations-check, Reincarnation related stuff-Check. oh yeah one more thing}

-...

{Don't be like this and I won't have to kill you again,/chuckles/. There is something that I need to give you, or rather someone}

-?

As the goddess said that a light emanated from her tattoo and another version of her appeared. This version had the same facial features as the original with the exception of the eyes, which now only had golden Pupils. Her clothes were different from the original, looking like modern secretary clothing.

{This is me or rather an aspect of me, she shall be responsible for helping you in your journey in the world as I can't go directly there. She can do everything that I can do but she can't interfere with the world unless some special situation happens, and to be frank I hope it never happens. She will also be responsible for collecting the source energy when you come in contact with it.}

{And that's all. Any questions?}

-None

{Then see you in one and a half years.}

-Wait what?

{Or is it two years and three months considering the pregnancy period?}

-Wait, please!

{I will now lock your memories until you are one and a half years old, don't you worry. I will give you a very nice family on the upper levels of society, if I find one that is. I will also try to put you in the same city as the protagonist. See you later, hahaha...}

As beautiful and enticing as her laugh is, I don't feel good at all as I was about to experience being a child with adult memories.

-Ah, shit. Hero I go again…
