I’m a Buff Baby but I Dance Like a Man

After climbing back from Cliff-kun afterlife Gil finds himself in front of the big G once again. At least that's what's happening inside his head, coming out of his stupor, "I'm sorry, could you say that again? For some reason I heard you were giving me choice to reincarnate."

Big G gives him a reassuring smile, and responds in a benevolent voice, "Yes child, you have great potential to be someone extraordinary. If not for your unfortunate circumstances, you just like your alternate self from different timelines. Would have gone on to help others and be a beacon of light."

Thoroughly confused, because he hadn't done anything positive in his life. Not for anyone let alone himself, it had always been just living without any real meaning. It's not like anyone had any expectations of him. He only wanted to find something in life that would give it color. He thought he found that in the phantasmal worlds of anime. Where he could temporarily forget the suck of life.

He musters up the courage to ask, "Why me? I'm not special, I'm not a good person, I'm not a hero, I'm nobody..."

This brings a bitter but compassionate smile to the God's face. "You are special, you were born with a 'heart of gold', just like your counterparts. Unfortunately, the world you were born in wasn't able to fight against the corruption of the world. As a result those around you slowly caused your heart to darken and lose its light."

"Wait! What do you mean that the world I was born in was corrupted!?" His whole world perspective revolved around the undeniable fact that life was bad and that's just how the world works. However, what he heard means that might not be the case.

"I'm the God of Life, I represent all the positives in the world, creation, happiness, righteousness, etc. Then there is my counterpart, the God of Death. They represent, death, selfishness, sadness, etc. Together we balance the world. Now my counterpart may represent the negative force in the world, they are not evil. I create life and they create the hurdles that creation needs to overcome. In that way they can pass on to what you know as 'heaven'. Those that fail are brought back into the cycle of life, and are cleansed to try again. Along with the new lives I create."

"But what happened to my world, why was it corrupted?"

"I was getting to that. For some reason, in your world there was a soul born without any of the positive aspects of life. Filled with nothing but negativity that mortal soul evolved into a new entity. Evil, they slowly corrupted the world with evil & sin. Any souls corrupted by that would leave the cycle and feed its power. Our champions, the holders of 'heart of gold' meant to shine a helping light and a way to combat evil & sin. It was our hope that they would be able to succeed. Unfortunately the other holders of 'heart of gold' were also corrupted and lost. You were the last. However, by chance you died before being fully corrupted and I could take you out. What you need to know is that the hearts of gold are all you. They used the last of their luster to save you. With no way to save that world, it has now been destroyed. However, the entity has managed to escape, using most of it's power, to a realm outside of our power. We want to send you there, to fight once again against evil & sin. Will you rise up and fight once more our gilded hero?"

He stood there absolutely stunned, slowly beginning to remember a few memories from his other fragments. Even though he was drowned in different memories, his main ego managed to stay strong. He slowly made his resolve and stated with conviction,

"I don't understand everything about this 'heart of gold', but I do understand myself. I've always wanted to find that brilliance in life, if I can have another opportunity to find it, I'll take it. If I have to fight evil to do that, I will do it. My previous attitude may have caused me to give up before, but I refuse to yield! I will keep moving forward! Please let me try again!"

The God of Life smiled at this young gilded heart brimming with its luminescence that it always had. "Then go forth, I won't be able to watch over you anymore. I can only wish for your success."

With that he was sent through a kaleidoscope colored portal, to be sent to a new realm, in a new world where he will begin his new story.

~*Vacuum Sounds*~

Here I am, in a trippy portal towards a new world to redeem myself. Maybe my life was so depressing previously, because I gave up too soon. I want to be someone who can change the world, and help others. I want to be like those heroes in the anime I watched. Minus the dense protagonist factor, I hope I didn't jinx anything.

Up ahead of me, I see a dark amalgamation that oozes evil in the shape of a person. What're the chances that's.... It couldn't be, right?

A dark raspy voice echos in the kalaido-tunnel, "Damn those Gods, they think they can get rid of me!? Wait till I amass my power and come back for you! Hahahahaha! I even used the rest of my power to get some perks in the new world."

After the rant, the being I think is E&S turns around and is shocked to see me. "You! Heart of Gold, how dare you follow me! I will end you here and now! *augh*"

I proceed to beat the crap out of him, what I learned from anime is; 1. Don't let the enemy power up 2. During speeches the enemy is vulnerable 3. It doesn't matter if you win because they'll probably screw you over in some way. And boy was I right about #3.

After I beat the life out of him exploded, not before leaving me with some parting words. "Aaaaah! If I can't defeat you then I'll make sure to screw you over with the remainder of my life!"

Huh? Since when did the enemy of Gods and Humanity become a typical trash-tier villain? What's the worst he can do? Oh no, red flag...

~*BOOOM!*~

When I awoke all I saw was darkness. I moved my body I found myself in some enclosed space. Where am I? Wait a minute, better yet, Who am I?

I'm feeling out at this dark space is not helping, I want to get out of here! *crack!* Since when do dark spaces crack? Who cares, this is a chance for me to get out!

I break out of the space that shattered to pieces onto the... alter? The surroundings are so bright it takes a minute to adjust. I look down to find that I'm naked, but that's not important. I'm a baby!

Not caring about where I am, or what's happening around me. I start to dance and sing the first thing that comes to mind, "I'm a buff baby that can dance like a man!~ I can shake-ah my fanny, I can shake-ah my can!~"

A/N: The dance
