As Hazuki opened his eyes, blinding white light entered his vision.
He immediately closed his eyes as he felt pain coming from his head and eyes. He massaged his head as if to relieve himself from the pain he feels.
"Urrrgggh"
Hazuki tried his best in getting up, but his whole body was aching.
"Where am i?" He said to himself after getting up and observed his surroundings.
'I clearly remember myself being stabbed by that criminal, so why am i here'
"Am i in heaven?" He said after seeing everything around him. It was a completely empty place.
"Is anybody here?!" He asked.
"Is anybody here?!" He repeatedly asked.
Nothing other than the echo of his voice answered him.
Hazuki then walked, He walked aimlessly as if letting his feet decide where he will end up on. "Is there anybody here?!" Is the only thing he shouted along the way.
He repeated that sentence over and over again, each time with a stronger volume than the last to see if anyone could hear him.
After walking for a few hours, he finally felt tired. He stopped walking and looked back, it was still the same white space as before, as if he did not travel any distance at all.
As he thought of this many things entered his mind, and that increased his panic even more.
'What if this is hell and not heaven?!' 'What am i going to do here..?'
'How can i get out of this place' 'What will happen to me here..?' Were sentences that appeared in his panicking mind.
" *sob* *sob* " He cried as he thought he will be trapped in this endless space forever.
"Mom, Dad *sob*" He cried as he thought about his parents and his inability to see them anymore.
...
Many days has passed since he first came in that endless white space. Hazuki's previous state detoriated even more. His eyes drooping and sunken from crying and was staring at blank space.
"Why am i the one experiencing this?" He weakly muttered. As he felt he was going crazy from being alone in that empty white space. He thought about his murderer and wondered why he isn't here with him.
"Why the Fuck am i even in this place?! Those heinous criminals should be in this place and not me! I have lived my life without hurting anybody! So why am i in this goddamned place subjected to this torture?! " He shouted as he grabbed his hair.
"You could've just erased my existence, so why are you letting me experience this kind of thing?!" He shouted, staring above as if blaming the heaven for his misfortune.
"*sob*" He again cried from the injustice he feels. When suddenly a voice entered his ears.
"Ohhh, what a surprise." Said the feminine but ethereal voice.
"Who the F**k are you?! Come the hell out and get me the F**k out of this place right now!" He said as he felt crazy for staying there for a few days. A few days from that endless space seemed to be an eternity for him.
"What a pitiful state you are in mortal, let me fix you." Again the ethereal voice rang.
As the voice faded, golden light poured from above and showered Hazuki who was shouting incessantly.
Hazuki who was going insane, stopped for a moment before his eyes regained clarity.
"Have you come back to your senses mortal?" An ethereal voice resounded directly from Hazuki's ear.
Hazuki, who has regained his sanity, was shocked by the voice and almost jumped from fright. "Who are you?!"
Hazuki then surveyed his surroundings, but there is no one around. He felt his skin crawl and scalp tingle.
"Where are you?!" He added as he felt terrified of the unknown voice that suddenly just sounded out of nowhere.
"Don't be impatient mortal. Im just surprised someone would be here already. For your question as to where i am, you don't need to know it's a place where you can never reach." Said the ethereal voice.
"Then, who are you?" Hazuki asked.
"I am *********, i am the goddess of this universe, the sole creator of everything." She replied.
As Hazuki heard The goddess' name, he was confused. It was just incoherent words though it sounded ethereal.
"Why can't i understand your name Lady goddess?" Hazuki weakly responded.
"It's because no mortal can perceive my name. Even High tiered beings wouldn't be able to understand my name" The goddess explained.
As the Goddess explained, he finally understood and it seemed normal. Him, a mere mortal, being able to call the goddess was blasphemy.
Hazuki was immersed in his thoughts about the goddess he just encountered. When he suddenly broke out of his trance as he remembered one thing.
"Then i have a request Lady goddess. May you please get me out of this place? If that is not possible then please just erase me, I don't want to live here alone waiting for my consciousness to dissipate." Hazuki requested weakly. Just the thought of staying here forever makes him go insane.
"As i said don't be impatient mortal, everything happens for a reason and you being here also has a reason." She softly responded.
"Then what is the reason for me being trapped here in this endless space?" Hazuki muttered.
"Don't be like that. You are chosen to be reincarnated in another universe that's why you are here. It's my fault for not noticing you earlier and i will compensate you for my mistake." The goddess sighed and replied.
He was finally understood what was happening and what was the reason why he was stuck there. Hazuki thanked his lucky stars as his shouting actually have an effect, the heaven finally answered his wish as someone finally noticed him, and it's not just someone. The creator of the multiverse herself noticed him.
Other than relief of finally being noticed, He also felt excitement coursing through him as the goddess mentioned about being reincarnated into another world.
"Will i really be able to reincarnate to another universe? Will i be able to choose what world i reincarnate into? And the most important thing of all, will i be able to get powers?" Hazuki asked enthusiastically after finding out he will be able to reincarnate on another universe.
Just the thought of wielding the amazing powers he only watched and read about really makes him ecstatic.
"Again, Don't be impatient. Of course you will, i already said it didn't i? About choosing the world, we can do it by drawing lots. Lastly, i will grant 3 of your wishes. That is a privilege every reincarnator have. But i will give you an additional wish as a compensation for my negligence." The goddess explained.
"Are there other reincarnators beside me?" He asked nervously as he thought of the possibility of heinous criminals being chosen.
"Of course, but don't worry too much each of them have a righteous heart And each of you will be placed in separate universe. So you can rest assured that i will not grant power to someone that may use it to destroy what i created." She responded after seeing through his worries.
"And if you do end up destroying that universe without any proper reason, then i will deprive you of your powers and completely obliterate your existence, if that happens you will not be remembered by anybody as if you did not exist at all, and even your parents in earth will forget about you." She then warned him.
"That's all for the explanations. Let's start the drawing of lots. I will give you many Popsicle sticks, you can write one world in each Popsicle stick, But the minimum number of Popsicle stick you can submit to me is 7. For example in one stick you can write Naruto world, and write one piece world in the other. You can write any world you can think of but you can't go back to earth. After you are done choosing you can call for me and place those Popsicle sticks in front of you." The goddess instructed as the golden light appeared once again and this time it carried Popsicle sticks down.
————————————-
Two hours has passed since he received the sticks and he finally decided on what world he want to go the most.
"Lady goddess here are my choices of worlds i want to be reincarnated to." Hazuki said as he placed the Popsicle sticks right in front of him.
"Exactly 7? I already expected you would choose 7, but can you explain why?" The goddess asked softly.
"Lady goddess if i picked more worlds, then my chances of getting into a world that i really love would lessen, so i picked exactly the minimum amount needed." Hazuki explained shortly.
"Okay, So what you chose are: Bleach[Soul Society], One piece[Loguetown], Tales of demons and gods[Tiny World], Against the Gods[Blue pole Star], Naruto[Hidden leaf village], Tower of God and My hero Academia world. Mortals really are ambitious. I know everything in the multiverse that includes what you mortals created anime's, manga's and novels are no exception and from what i know these worlds are very dangerous with the exception of My hero Academia world, Even so, why did you choose these?" The goddess asked Hazuki.
Hazuki then paused for a second and suddenly made a resolute face.
"Lady goddess, these things made me happy in times i was not, this time i was given an opportunity to experience them first hand why would i avoid them? In my last life even though i was accompanied by anime's, manga's and novels, i feel like i am a prisoner, and when i finally decided to live my life that unfortunate thing happened. So that is why, even if i die trying i want to experience what living really feels like." Hazuki clenched his hands and looked up with a determined look.
Though that is the main reason why Hazuki chose these worlds, part of him really wanted to watch and experience those battles and scenes first-hand
"I am liking you more now mortal, keep this attitude whenever you go, you should live with righteousness and pride within you, i gave you this chance, you better not waste it." The goddess then replied to Hazuki's determination.
"Then let's start drawing the lots." The goddess added as a Black box suddenly appeared in front of Hazuki, the sticks slowly levitated and was sucked inside the Black box.
"Place your hand inside the box through the hole on the top, choose your pick and raise it above your head."
This time Hazuki inserted his hands through the hole atop of the box and
mixed up the contents inside. As he was touching the Popsicle sticks inside the box, there was one particular stick that was drawing his attention. His intuition was commanding him to draw that stick, so he went ahead to draw that stick and left it all for lady luck to decide.
When Hazuki pulled out his hand, he didn't even look at what world he drew, he immediately raised it above his head and just waited for Lady goddess' announcement.
"So you are going to My hero Academia World, are you satisfied with this? Well, even if you are not satisfied you have no other choice than to accept the result because i will not let you draw twice."
As Hazuki heard he was Going to My hero Academia he was filled with joy, That was the second place he wanted to go! The First was Against the Gods world.
"Now decide on what wishes you want me to grant you. I will also give you a choice to alter your appearance for free, you can also choose not to, it's all up to you." She patiently added.
"I want to customize my looks, I want to look like Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto World." Hazuki requested.
"As for my wishes: First, i want all of Uchiha's Abilities and arsenal, all of them including madara, itachi, shisui, obito and sasuke. From their Bloodline, Rinnesharingan and all of their abilities. I want to acquire all of them except the side effects, may you please remove them Lady goddess. Second, I want a system like what Sung Jin-Woo in Solo Leveling have, but i want to customize the system shop, i want it to be able to buy anything that exists in anime's, manga's and novels, also add a mastery system where i can allot skill points in my skills, but the skill points can only be bought in the system shop. Third, I want the most powerful zenkai boost and the ability to master ultra instinct. And for my Last wish, I want to be able to explore other worlds and universes." Hazuki then Stated all of his wishes to the Goddess.
Silence reigned over the place as neither the goddess nor Hazuki said anything. Hazuki even looked unnerved by the silence as he thought all of his wishes were going to be rejected and needs to pick another set of wishes.
"You need to reduce the amount of people you want to copy abilities from, there are so many of them. Pick Only 3 and your sharingan will evolve until 3 tomoes only, you have to buy the mangekyou and eternal mangekyou in the system shop. I can do the second wish, but you really do have to work for everything. I will adjust the daily quest according to your ability, you will wake up as a 3 year old child after all, entering the penalty quest would be a death sentence to you, so i will reduce the requirements for it. But double the daily quest requirements once you turn 14 years old. I can also grant you the 3rd wish, as for the last wish..." The goddess seemed to think about something as she paused in the middle of her sentence.
Hazuki was almost sure his wish wouldn't be granted because this is the only time the goddess paused to think about something.
"I can grant that wish, But it will come with a restriction. Every time you want to travel to another world, you have to request it to me. If you get my approval then you are all good, but if you even try to sneak into that world without my approval, then be ready for the punishment you will receive."
Hazuki was not afraid of the punishment at all, He is not going to violate it after all.
"Yes Lady goddess I understand!" Hazuki then stood up and bowed.
"Lady goddess i want powers from Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha And Sasuke Uchiha." He added in response to the Goddess.
"Okay, All of your wishes has been granted i wish you luck in this second life of yours. Treasure this chance i gave you, do not throw away your life. I won't give you another one after all."
"One more thing, Once you got into your new world your consciousness and memories will be in forced hibernation, you will only unlock them once you are 3 years old."
"You can now go."
"Wait Lady goddess, I have one last little request, I want to-" He asked pleadingly, he wanted to see his family on more time, one last time.
"You want to see your family's state right now aren't you? I can read your mind and it's literally written in your face." The goddess interrupted.
Suddenly an Oval shaped hole appeared in front of him, inside the hole he can see his family and friends grieving over his death.
As he saw what is happening in his funeral, Hazuki also cried as he won't be able to see and touch them anymore, he felt lonely but he also felt relieved as he saw many people still loved him after all the years he has opt to be alone.
"That's it, are you satisfied mortal? I don't want to hear your response, i will send you now. Treasure this chance."
That was the goddess' last words for Hazuki as hewas enveloped by golden light Hazuki felt his consciousness growing fainter until he can't feel anything anymore.
The next thing he knew he was already lying in a bed. He observed his surroundings and came into a conclusion that his family was a middle class family. His bed was beside the wall, in front of him there was a desk and a cabinet for clothes, the room was colored white decorated with hanging planets and beside the door there were letters forming a name. H-a-zu-k-i H-a-y-a-t-e
"So my name actually stayed the same." He muttered as soon as he saw his name hanging beside the door.
He got up from his bed and started walking towards the door, when suddenly the door opened by itself revealing his new mother coming in his room. She was a slim woman with black-colored hair wearing a pink colored one-piece dress.
"Awwhh, my baby has woken up." The woman said lovingly as she stared at hazuki.
She then proceeded to pick him up by his underarms and slowly walked towards the living room.
