I prayed. I prayed over and over again, never missing a day. I hoped and hoped that one day, my prayers would be answered. Now, the day has finally come.
I was an antisocial boy, never close to anyone really. My family avoided me, I had no friends, and I was unpopular. Reality always seemed dull to me, colorless. That's when I started exploring the vast world of anime.
I could see it, such colorful and fulfilling worlds. Some filled with tragedy, some witn hope, but there was always an adventure. There was always a grand goal, a journey to take, filled with pride and happiness. Such colorful worlds, became my escape from this dull reality.
So every single day, I would pray to be isekaied, to be like all those in anime who were able to escape this dull reality and have a colorful life filled with adventure! For 20 long years, I prayed. Some called me crazy, some called me obsessed, and others prefered to ignore my very existence, but I never gave up.
I managed to make ends meet by meticulously crafting figurines of anime characters for a commission, and I never made 2 similar ones, each was unique in its own way. It was my attempt to bring some color into this boring world. But then, it finally happened.
I was crossing the street to buy some groceries for the month, when I saw the divine emissary from the corner of my vision. The isekai king, TRUCK KUN!
The king struck me dead, and I fell with a smile. When I opened my eyes, I was not blinded by divine light, I was not in an all white expanse, I simply floated in space. I was surrounded by stars and planets, unlike those of my old solar system. It was beautiful! It was colorful! And that's when I heard it.
"You have prayed for 20 long years, and here I am, and there you stand."
I turned slowly, and saw it. It was a mass of darkness the size of my fist, so dark I felt like I was being swallowed by it.
"I guess a mortal human form would make this more convenient. You seem to have a very good impression of this body, so i'll adopt it for a moment."
There I knelt, to the one who could take me out of this colorless reality, the one true god in my heart, there I knelt before Naruto Uzumaki! I couldn't speak, simply waiting. I couldn't waste this chance by making him angry.
"So here's how this is going to work, I am the Dimensional God, and I will transmigrate you. For your dedication, you will receive 3 wishes, but there are limitations."
I even get wishes! Truly, Naruto is the most benevolent god.
"Could you please tell me, what are the restrictions?"
"There must be a precedent in your mind for the wish to take effect. You cannot invent your own powers or abilities. This is the restriction i'm placing on your wishes."
That's it? I, who have seen over 1000 anime, I, who has researched countless powers of said animes? That's barely a restriction! Thank Naruto, I can work with this!
"Please, allow me to think for a bit."
"It's a serious matter, take your time, we have all of eternity."
Ok, I need to think carefully. I can rule out some clear ones. The sharingan have to many flaws to waste a wish on, Saitama's power? But the wish might only allow me to be as strong as him in the anime. Hmm....
"Can I perhaps be transmigrated and make my wishes after?"
"hmm, I don't see why not, but you must use at least one wish before transmigration."
It's too difficult without knowing about the world i'm going to. Wait, I may even go to an anime world, I don't have enough information yet. I can rule out wishes relating to love, that's worthless, maybe distribute it evenly?
I can get one physical power, one magic and one soul power? Systems are overrated so I don't want one of them, damnit, so many options.
"Could you tell me what kind of world i'm going to? Like its maximum power and its general layout?"
"Sure, if you use one of your wishes on it"
Fuck. There goes that idea. No point on wasting a wish on it when I'm going to that world with 2 wishes saved. Can I wish for loyal characters to go with me? If I have Zeno, Rimuru, and another strong character, I won't need to do anything. Hmmmmm....
"Can I use my wishes to take a character with me?"
"No, the wishes can only affect you yourself."
Fuck. No, no, I should be grateful to get wishes at all, look at Kazuma.
"Ok, My first wish is..."
"Interesting. Very well, granted. Would you like to transmigrate now with two wishes intact, or wait and use them now?"
My body shone with a light, and when it faded, I had a toned body and a 6 pack. I was 6'11 and lean. I had spiky, blue silvery hair, and a scar running down my neck. My crimson eyes gleamed brightly.
"Now please. Thanks again, Lord Naruto. I will forever remember this."
"I wish you luck, and hope you find your new reality more colorful than the old one."
I was engulfed in white light, before waking up in a forest. It's always a forest isn't it? It was a tall pine forest that stretched as far as I could see. A smile creeped its way up my face, NO longer would I be laughed at and called crazy, NO longer would I cower and hide away, NOW I could show pride and act how I please. I no longer have anything to fear.
Now, lets see whats in the immediate area, I can't wait!
