From the shadows I rise

All my life I have lived in the shadow of others. So when I got my second chance I decided to let others live in my shadow. Traveling through the multiverse in search for godhood. All rights belong to their respected creators, except for my OC's.

Prologue

[A/N: Hey guys, I had some writer's block for my other story. So I decided to start a new project. Hope you guys enjoy this story.]

—————————<•>——————————

"Damn." Was the only word I could get out as I lay there on the ground, surrounded by strangers. I could hear the surrounding people yelling to call for un ambulance.

The funny thing about this whole situation is that this morning I had just read an isekai fanfiction. Now look at me sprawled over the asphalt, after I was just hit by an eighteen wheeler. My passing thoughts before my consciousness faded were. 'The legendary Truk-kun strikes again.'

~~~~3rd pov~~~~

As we peer into the void, where there is nothing but darkness. We bear witness to a soul that has wandered of out of the cycle of reincarnation. As the soul floats, we can see a pair of eyes pierce the void and lay it's gaize upon the soul.

"It seems I have found an answer to my growing boredom." The entity proclaims as a hand appears in the void and snatches the soul and drags it all the way to it's corner of the void.

~~~~1st pov~~~~

As I feel my consciousness return I can't help but think about my last moments once again. I have no doubt that I have died for I could not have survived. That would mean that I have reached the other side. As my thoughts reach that point I look around me and I notice that I am standing in front of a middle aged man who seems to be laying down on a couch. He is most likely God.

"That is where you are wrong my friend. I am not God. I am the creator I creat for others to rule. I am the beginning, the end and the in between. And lately I have realized that I seem to have been stuck in a cycle. I create, destroy and then I repeat. I am tired of that, I want to do something else, something new. All this power and time and no way to use it. So I had decided to choose you, a soul who had successfully exited the reincarnation cycle. So I had decided to grant you your deepest desire and after looking into your memories and have seen your wish for reincarnation." The creator states.

I am a bit taken aback by the situation. I was in all honesty not expecting something like this. I mean don't get me wrong I am very happy that this has happened to me. But we have to put a line between reality and fantasy. No one really knows what happens after death, but reincarnating into other worlds of your choosing is a bit far fetched. But who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially when that gift horse happens to be a unicorn pegasus hybrid.

"Pfft- That is quite the imagination. Now I shall grant you three wishes and one divinity. With this divinity, I grant you the possibility of ascension. That last part is purely up to you, if you put in enough work. Now give me your answers." The creator says.

"Can you give me some time to think." I ask the creator who just nods his head. After about 20 minutes of thinking I have come to a decision.

"I would like a sys-" Before I could even finish my sentence he speaks up.

"Rejected." As if he could read my mind, which he most definitely can, he gives me an explanation.

"While you were thinking about your powers I took the liberty to scan your memories and in all honesty that whole system thing is absolute bullshit. The whole concept of the system is just stupid. I would have to grant this 'system' with the divinity of creation. And that my friend is a no go. So other wishes?" The creator asks me.

"Very well then, give me some more time for me to reevaluate my wishes and make some adjustments." He once again nods at me. After about 10 minutes I have my wishes set.

"My 1 wish will be an adaptable body. With extreme adaptability. In situations where my body is under a lot of stress for example 10x gravity my body will adapt within minutes.

My 2 wish the ultimate talent. I want to have the talent for anything and everything.

My 3 wish dragon bloodline. With this wish I want the dragons nigh immortal life span, dragon soul, high affinity to magic and extreme durability.

And lastly for my divinity I want it to be knowledge." I state my wishes. I have read enough fanfics to know that if I have anything else to say I must say it before he gets a chance to speak.

"I would like to ask you if you would give me a chance to choose my appearance and my backstory." I ask the creator.

"Very well I will gift you the ability to travel the multiverse. But you must choose wisely for once you pick a time to appear you may not pick again. Also your divinity means that you have a very high IQ, photographic memory and a high rate of comprehension. The more our divinity grows the more godly mana you can use. Godly mana is a very pure and potent form of mana. Think of it like our mana pool is a cup and your mana is water. 1 drop of godly mana is equivalent to 1 cup of mana." As he says that a panel appears in front of me, on the panel I see a mannequin. I look at it for a moment before I realize this is my chance. All my life I have been average, always living in someone else's shadow. It's finally my turn to be extraordinary, to let others live in my shadow.

I decided to give myself platinum blond hair, with electric bleu eyes with a little bit of gold in them. They look like a clear sky with stars twinkling here and there. I give myself a sharp jawline and a little goatee on my chin, not too much just a little bit of hair growing on my chin. I give myself a gymnast body, making my 6'4. I have olive tan skin with no blemishes. I age myself to look like I am in my mid twenties. I also make sure that I am well endowed. When I finished my look the panel disappeared and there was a faint glow coming off my body as I grew and I took on the same look as my avatar. After a few minutes the glow disappears and a new panel appears in front of me. This one was for my backstory.

[A/N: His face kinda looks like Azazel's from highschool dxd. Except the hair is mostly only on his chin. And also platinum blond in color.]

When I was thinking about my backstory it finally hit me I can't remember my name, my family or who I used to be. I don't know how to feel about this. So I decided to just go with the flow, that's what I have been doing till now. Right now is not the time to remember my past, it is time for me to look to the future. A future in where I don't have to worry about what it looks like, cause even if it looks bleak with all the power I have at my disposal at the moment I can change my fate. So I once again look upon the screen in front of me and start writing my backstory.
