Walking through my neighbourhood I wondered why my life couldn't be as interesting as anime, manga and novels.
My life is so boring compared to anime characters.
I also want to go to another world with overpowering abilities. Beat up some villain, capture some heroine, and fall in love. Thinking about this makes me depressed.
You might be thinking why is this guy raving about? If you are an anime fan or a general anime enthusiast you might come across the genre called isekai.
In a nutshell, isekai involves a character being transported to a new world and learning to survive there. In the process, he or she gains support, love, friends etc.
As he was walking, he came to a crossroads.
"Hmmm."
"Let's go this way today. I should change my destination sometimes."
I start walking through the footpath. [Quite the traffic here today.] I thought.
Suddenly a loud sound of a motorcycle came from behind, I paused to see who this guy was who was dumb enough to drive his bike on the footpath.
...
A guy was driving his motorcycle through the road without tension. This guy suddenly paused, saw traffic up ahead, and saw the footpath was clear, So he thought, why not I run my bike through the footpath? So, I don't have to wait for the traffic and my bike is fast enough to get away from the police as well.
...
"Damn, this guy is crazy", I jumped on the road to avoid getting hit by the bike.
If I had been any slower, I would have got some broken bones or in the worst case death.
"It's because of guys like this that so many accidents occur".
Just when I was about to continue my evening walk, I heard a truck sound coming from my left side and saw, that the crazy biker guy's bike was stuck in the truck and now that truck was coming my way.
I was baffled to see that suddenly a truck came out of thin air crushing the bike, and now heading towards me, "Fuck".
"…"
I tried jumping away from the truck, but it was too late.
Booom!
...
In an unknown place, 2 beings were quarrelling with each other.
{Damnit, truck Kun I said you could only have one soul from my world. How did the number increase by one?}, the goddess scolded.
{I am sorry the truck I inhibited this time, had a brake failure and this happened}, a being called Truck Kun apologised.
"…"
The goddess speechless asked {Why didn't you use your power at that time? We could easily avoid this mess.}
{You told me not to use any power except to inhabit the truck}, truck Kun replied.
"..."
{Where did you get that truck from}, the goddess inquired,
{There was a garage nearby so I took it from there}, truck Kun said.
"..."
{So, what will you do?}, Truck Kun asked.
The goddess stated, {I can't do anything now if I had noticed it earlier, I could have prolonged his life enough to get his treatment, but now it's too late to do anything, that child is already dead}.
{Then let's give him the same treatment. As we are giving all the targets it will not matter if we add one more name to that list}, Truck Kun said shrugging his shoulders.
The goddess sighed in exhaustion.
The goddess said, {I will talk with this child. You go to the other child}.
{Are you sure about that?} Truck Kun said taken aback.
{What's the problem with that?}, the goddess told in slight irritation.
{No no, I mean this will be your first time granting wishes, right?}, Truck Kun asked.
{Yeah, what of it?}, goddess asked narrowing her eyes.
{Don't look at me like that, I was just shocked. You, of all the gods, who disdain others, calling it a childish game, joining in," Truck Kun said, glancing at the now-dead kid's body.
{Anyway, you do understand, what it will signify right}, Truck Kun looked at the goddess hoping for confirmation.
{I know what will it mean}, hearing those words he wanted to hear Truck Kun has a big smile on his face.
{[I wonder what those other bastards will think when they find this out. it will be fun to see their reaction.]}, Truck Kun thought while smiling.
"…"
{[Anyway, Poor kid will probably have a hard time, well nothing I can do about it]}, thinking truck Kun went his way.
...
"Unknown location"
"So, am I dead?"
"Huh."
"The last thing I know is that I had an accident".
"Who would have thought just a change of direction would be the cause of my death?"
"Now, that I think about it. It was a truck."
"Oh, I remember that biker guy too was hit by the truck."
"Did the legendary Truck Kun come for my life?"
In anime, manga, and novels when it comes to the isekai genre, most isekai happens because out of nowhere a truck comes and crashes with the main character and sends him/her to a new world.
I mean just the idea of a truck that kills people in their original world and sends them to a new one. Is a wet dream for most if not all anime fans.
Now that I look at my surroundings it's all white. Just by looking at this place, I know where this is going.
"…"
"So, where is this ROB guy, is he running late or something?" until this ROB guy came, I started checking my body.
"The last thing I remembered was my body was crushed by the truck Kun."
Looking at myself, I can see through my hand, "Am I in my astral body or something", this reminds me of the Doctor Strange Movie. Where using his sorcery he can separate his astral body from his main body temporarily.
"How long do I have to wait here?"
Suddenly, I was able to see an outline of a body coming in front of me. Yeah, outline I could only see the outline. I almost thought that my eyes had a problem.
Then a gentle soothing voice came, {Do not force yourself, my child, your soul is not strong enough to understand our existence. Even if you try it's futile. The very thing that you can even perceive me, tells me that you have a strong soul}.
"..."
"Ummm…, Who are you?" I asked cautiously.
{Hello, my child, I am Goddess Earth. I am the god of this world you lived up until now. I must, unfortunately, inform you that you have died because of my colleague's blunder}.
"…"
Hearing that it was an accident, it already feels like an isekai plot.
"Then what will happen to me?", I asked.
{Normally your soul should have gone through a reincarnation cycle. Where your soul would get judged. But your death happened because we were not paying attention. So, I will give you the same chance as the other child}.
"Other child, do you mean that biker guy".
{Yes}, the goddess said.
"Is he also getting isekaied?", I asked the goddess.
{Yes, originally only he was supposed to get hit by the truck but because of my colleague's carelessness, you died}.
"Does your colleague go by truck Kun by any chance?", I asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, have you heard of him?"
"…"
[There are no anime fans out there who have not heard of Truck Kun].
Goddess looked at me knowingly. [Did she just read my mind].
{So, now you must choose either, I will send you back to the reincarnate cycle or you can go to another world}.
Without any delay, I said, "I chose the second option".
{My my~, you did not even hesitate}, the goddess said.
"Well for an anime fan like me, it's a dream come true, so I did not take any chances". Who knows if I will ever get a chance like this again?
"So does this mean I get wishes", I asked with enthusiasm.
{Yes, you would normally get three wishes, but because you died from a blunder on our side, I will grant you an extra wish. Therefore, you get 4 wishes.}
"Humm... before I wish, can I ask some questions about the range of wishes?", I ask the goddess.
[I had to know what the limits of these wishes are?]
"…"
{Go on}, the goddess stated.
"Can I ask for any wish, are there limits to the wishes?", I hurriedly asked.
"…"
Goddess fell silent for a few seconds thinking something.
[Did I ask the wrong question] I thought to myself.
The goddess coming to a decision answered. {If your wish is not possible, I will state so}.
[Here I go then. My first wish].
"I want a super adaptable body that can adapt to any situation, substance mental and physical I will get into".
{Ok next}.
"I want the essence of the blank". [with this my potential will be infinite].
Reading my mind Goddess looked at me amusingly.
{Next},
"I want the essence of the Archmage". [With this I will be able to use all magic systems].
{And now your final wish.}
"I want the power and all the skills of Rihito Bahha from the anime Plunderer". [with this I should be set for fighting abilities].
{All right, that should do}, Goddess stated.
"So, which world are you sending me into?", I questioned.
Goddess thought for a moment and spoke. {How about the world as the last anime you watched?}
"…"
"You mean Arifureta", I ask the goddess.
{Yes}.
"All right, please".
{I hope you have a pleasant 2nd life}, saying that she sent me my way.
And just like that my second life started...
...
After I sent the child his way, I thought, {[infinite potential, Huh]}.
{How many beings out there in this vast omniverse had the same thoughts as that child?}
Most are never able to reach us even with infinite potential. {It means nothing if you are unable to realize your potential, and with infinite potential the hurdle is even higher.}
{I wonder if he will be able to survive there. If he survives then the real thing will start}.
{[Will someone be qualified this time?]}, the goddess wondered to herself staring at the place where the child previously stood.
{From the beginning of time, there have been only 2 beings out there who have reached the same power as us. I wonder if that child also will...}
...
