Consecutive massive explosions that shake the earth rung wild echoing all around the land.

People were screaming scurrying all around in panic running for their lives.

Some people thought it was caused by some terrorist group trying to disturb the upcoming Christmas, but the truth of the matter is out of their imagination.

The consecutive explosions were caused by no other than a teenage boy and a hideous monster fighting, each trying to kill the other.

The explosions that shake the ground were nothing but the mere aftereffect of the clash between the two unknown entities that fought like gods and heroes one might have seen in movies.

[Dispatch this is agent Kent2.0, I need backup, I repeat I need backup, code 910, code 910…!]

[This is Dispatch, we apologize other agents are currently occupied, the same case is happening all over our area of jurisdiction, please ensure in eliminating the anomaly, further measures will be taken after the anomaly is disposed]

"Fucking bastards!!! Are these morons dumb can't they see that there are too many witnesses.

The man cursed, dodging the barrage of high speed attacks the monster before him was sent.

Each attack carried the power of a high-speed ten wheelers truck, each air pressure coming from the attack is enough to decimate the walls behind the man.

"Damn I almost died there."

He sighed as he backed off from the terrifying monsters, distancing himself as he tried to recover some of his lost stamina.

"U-ahhhh, m-monster! Monster!"

A young man near the monster screamed, his bowls leaking out of fear.

"Damn, kid, that's too embarrassing."

Splat!!!

Feeling annoyed by the kid's loud screams, the monster extended its hand, sending a strong smash to the kid, squashing the kid into meat phase.

"Oh, that's merciless of you."

The man commented as if the death of the kid was nothing to him.

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Rumble!!! Rumble!!! Rumble!!!

"For real, just what is going on? Another one! How am I supposed to celebrate Christmas with this much chaos?"

He muttered quietly, shifting his gaze to where the explosions had come from.

There he witnessed a scene that made him shivered, his always so nonchalant cheerful display completely crumbled replace by utter fear.

Twenty meters afar from him, looking straight to his eyes is a Ten store building tall gigantic abomination wolf.

Blood can be seen continuously dripping out of the gigantic wolf mouth, some human parts like a hand and a foot can be seen hanging between its ginormous teeth.

"Hmph, this one is not included in my pay grade."

He muttered as he inhaled a bit thereafter suddenly vanishing from the spot he previously occupied.

Both the monsters that have been fighting him all this time and the gigantic ambitious wolf look at the spot where the man previously was and couldn't help but let out a loud scream of rage.

HA AAAAA!!!

"Damn, that's loud I could clearly hear it even here."

The teenage boy muttered as he took a seat atop the top most store of the tallest hotel in the city, his gaze melancholic and a bit cold as he looked at the chaos occurring below.

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lighting it up with a flick of his finger, as he started smoking.

"Ew! I am not ready into this stuff, too much for acting cool."

He threw the cigarette, followed by a spat of disgust.

00:01 AM

The eve day that ended the once peaceful repetitive era everyone had grown accustomed to.

Monsters from different dimensions, abyss dimension, dark dimension, nightmare dimension, chaos dimension, death dimension, mirror dimension, etc. invaded the universe.

Factions from these dimensions fought in a race competing with each other treating the invasion of the universe as nothing but a game.

Earth a miniscule planet in the most barren land of the universe is just one of the countless planets out there that the dimensional beings tried invading.

But after 1,500 years later since the invasion began, it remained one of the remaining of hope that to this fay still hold on against the dimensional invaders.

Outside the boundaries of the world (Earth), a young man can be seen sitting idly on a plastic chair that's firmly planted on the body of a ginormous octopus like monster.

He held a soda in hand, his eyes closed enjoying the taste of the soda.

Done drinking his gaze wandered all around where countless monsters of differing sizes and features surrounded him.

"Human surrender, and we will let you live, serve our great lord, and you'll prosper."

"Human, stop your pointless struggle, you're the only one left in this universe that still lives."

"So, I am basically the last man of this universe.

And this planet is the final world that remained unconquered in the entire universe all these years right!

Does this mean I am just that great aren't I…!"

Kent said puffing out his beautifully sculpted chest as a wide smirk is present on his transcendental-like face.

His looks alone is enough to charm anyone, sadly for him how can his looks charm a bunch of ugly monsters.

"Human, surrender, pointless struggle, stop, serve our great lord."

"Yeah, yeah you kept repeating serve great lord whatnot, you couldn't even say his/her name.

I might serve that great lord of yours if it was a gorgeous beauty.

But I never once saw a humanoid-like creature that resembles a human not even a cat girl dammit, your humanoids aren't really my taste, I don't have such hobbies you know.

Those tentacles aren't really my thing.

I'd rather die than be comforted by some tentacles."

"Human, cannot, understand, your saying."

"For real, even the highest in command only has this much IQ, for real, do you guys rely solely on power without brains.

Your so-called lord probably also an idiot dumb being right?"

"Human, don't, insult, our, lord, last, chance, surrender, or, die."

"Oh ho, you seem so confident that you can take me on with only this many numbers?

You should probably need at least a hundred times of these fellas to even exhaust me."

"KILL, HUMAN, KILL, HUMAN."

"Right, that's more like it."

…

Kent battled an endless number of dimensional creatures numbering in hundreds of millions.

The battle lasted for a year in Earth's calendar until the very last dimensional creature was brought down to his foot.

"Hey! Aren't you that fella who kept begging me to surrender before the fight began!

Now what you lost, why don't you call your so-called lord hiding behind your backs."

"HUMAN, Y-YOU, ARE INDEED STRONG, B-BUT THE LORD'S POWER IS B-BOUNDLESS, YOU STOOD NO CHANCE."

Crash!!!

Kent squeezes his hand, completely destroying the die hard fanatic monster's core into smithereens.

"So, I am all alone in this infinite universe, alone! Hahaha!

Damn, to think that I am loner through and through since before joining the (Supernatural Defense Sector) and after becoming an official member would feel lonely being alone in this empty infinite universe."

[Child…!]

"Oh, I think I am not alone through!

What a melodious voice, you must be a beauty, right…!"

[Child! My last child! Congratulations on lasting this long]

"Me? A child? Miss, I am more than 1,520 years old."

[You're still a child compared to me, I am 980,076,900,850,000,000 years old.]

"Damn is that true, then I am really a child then. Haha haha…!"

"For you an ancient existence to contact me you must have something in mind right! Don't tell me, are you those fellas I slaughtered so-called LORD?"

[I am not, I'm nothing but an ego of the universe.]

"You called yourself an ego of the universe as (nothing but) bruh! For real, then what am I supposed to be! An insignificant micro dust."

[Child, you need to hurry and escape!]

"Huh! Escape, why and what?"

[You must escape, as more and more of those dimensional creatures are about to come, the ones you face are nothing but the lowest of the low stratum of the pyramid.]

"Lowest of the low, you say!

Then are you telling me that what I've been fighting all this time are nothing but the lowest foot soldiers."

[Something similar.]

"Escape to where, and why do you want me to escape, I don't even know you?

And what is it for you, for helping me?"

[Beings that died in their hands will have their souls fueled and tortured for eternity.

I don't want you to fall in that category.

You have freed all the souls that have been tormented in this universe, by killing those creatures.

But now that you remain, they are going to put all their focus on you.

A strong and powerful soul is more valuable than countless ones.]

"That's certainly terrible, the thought gave me the chills.

But what is it for you, why do you want to help me to begin with."

[You mustn't forget I am the ego of this universe, I am basically your origin mother.

I do not need anything, I only need you to reincarnate safely and live a new fulfilling life in another reality.]

"That's it?"

[Yes, that's it.

Right I am sorry in advance, I cannot erase your memory, you'll retain all your memories.

I am not a god, I'm but an ego of a universe, an observer without much of an authority.]

"Oh, I can regain my memories.

You don't need to worry I like it more that way.

You're an observer right, so you should have known that I am a die hard Otaku before I joined the (Supernatural Defense Sector)"

[Right, I completely forgot]

"So is there something like a system of sorts that I can get to make my life easier in that new reality."

[Don't worry you will receive one of that system in your mind, it will be active the moment you arrive in the new reality.

Now, however, you need to choose the reality you want to be reincarnated into.]

"I can choose the reality I can reincarnate into? You mean like the anime I watched before or the manga and novels I've read."

[Certainly, there are infinite realities out there.

Moreover, realities came into existence through the belief force of sentient beings.

The anime, manga, and novel stories you mentioned are just one of the few realities in the infinite expanse.

You want to reincarnate in an anime, manga or novel, that is a simple task because those stories branch from this universe, they originated from here, creating a connection to send your soul there is a simple matter]

"Then I would like to reincarnate too!

Wait, I don't know where to go.

There are too many choices available that I can't easily choose where to go.

Can't you recommend something, something good, but you must ensure both swords and magic.

I intend to increase my mastery over those fields my basics are lacking I am relying uniquely on my innate strength.

Recommend me to a reality that's of swords and magic where I can develop my mastery and knowledge."

[There's this unique reality that became irregular, as multiple realities fused into one another.

A reality created by a lonely true dragon that is then killed by its own world system, a reality where gods walk among mortals but have sealed their divine powers, a reality that held a ginormous tower that could make anyone who reaches the top become a god.

These three irregularly fused realities also birth multiple realities that you can explore once you reach enough sufficient power.]

"Oh ho, that sounded interesting, three of my favorite series in one reality, isn't that fascinating."

[Right, you mustn't consider your new world to be something similar to a fixed story, it is wholly different, a real life and not a game.

Historical events might have been altered into an entirely different timeline.

Some reincarnated people treated the new reality they found themselves into as a game so most of them had died early.]

"So, I can't use my advanced knowledge.

That's a bit frustrating, but I like it more this way, it seems more fun."

[Be careful my child, good luck!]

The ego of reality opened up the gate that led to the river of samsara, which was firmly anchored to the reality target she recommended.

"Thank you."

Kent bowed deeply, as he stepped in the gate when suddenly a crack in the space appeared.

From the crack Kent could see a ginormous purple hand radiating a crimson glow.

[WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING HUMAN!]

[RUINS GET YOU HANDS OF HIM, HE IS MINE]

[UIIY!!! YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING! THIS HUMAN IS MINE]

[CHAOS HANDS OFF MY PREY]

[It's the lord of the ruination dimension, shadows dimension and chaos dimension, child hurry enter the gate of samsara!]

The ego of reality cried out in panic.

"Hey, old ancient shits, don't you dare block my isekai path."

--- I'm going to reincarnate anyway, then let me try this baby I've been reserving all this time.

Time seemed to have frozen completely for everyone except Kent.

He slowly unsheathes his blade, doing a strange stance, preparing for an ultimate technique he had reserved as a suicidal one.

"The mother ego of the universe, do I need my physical body to enter the gate of samsara or my soul is enough."

[What are you planning?]

"Just answer me, I don't have time."

[Even your spirit is enough]

"That's more like it."

{{Infinite Severance Blade – Cosmic Annihilation Slash}}

Swoosh!!!

Time returned to normal, but the moment it did so, three loud screams echoed throughout the entire universe shaking the very void into fracturing.

And amidst this loud screams coming from the three-dimensional lords, a terrifying cut in the void where pure white light dazzled everyone.

Painting a marvelous work of art where three ginormous hands of differing features were cleanly cut.

"Hahaha!!! Fuck You, you old ancient shits."

Kent was laughing giving the three lords of dimensions a middle finger as his body turned into molds of dust, killing himself a second later.

He couldn't sustain the overbearing power he used to cut the hands of the dimensional lords.

His spirit being pulled by the ego of universe into the gate of samsara that was anchored to the reality she suggested.

[You really are something, child.

Oh, these dimensional lord arms can be a good material for your new vessel.

Combined with the blessing of fortune, destiny, fate, and karma, surely you'll be something else entirely the next time we see each other.

Hoe you have a fulfilling life.

Good luck.]

Kent's spirit and soul were swallowed by the gate that lead to the river of samsara, his spirit, and soul accompanied by the ginormous hands that turned into molds of light fusing with his soul.
