Chapter 1: I am Becoming a Prinny?!

=Dark Void= "A path between life and death."

? POV

A dark void. Total darkness that surrounds me as far as the eye can see. The only source of light seems to emanate from myself. Is this what death feels like? To lose all five senses of myself and to float for all of eternity as a ball of light? The feeling of panic and despair never really came to me. It seems that I also lost my sense of humanity as well.

"Is this the end for me?", my voice echoed, devoid of emotion.

"No, but it is only the beginning lost soul.", responded another voice. This one is spoken very clearly in my mind.

I looked around the void trying to look for the source of the disembodied sound, but the Voice continued.

"You have been chosen by us to guide a lost branch of reality back towards the correct path."

"What do you mean by 'guide' and 'correct path'? Just who or what are you?"

As I asked this question, various images suddenly invaded my mind. Images of multiple scenarios leading to multiple futures in ruins. This is giving me a headache.

"I will grant you Divine Protection to counter the handicaps that will be bestowed upon you.", the Voice continued.

Divine Protection? Whatever it is I am sure not feeling any of it. No zing or special effects?

Suddenly, light starts to escape from myself, seemingly turning the dark void brighter and brighter. I closed my nonexistent eyes from the sudden brightness and started to lose consciousness.

"The Divine Protection is taking full effect. I am sorry that our time together was short but one day after you have guided fate to the right path, I will reveal to you who I really am. Good Luck.", the Voice promised as the last bits of my awareness and my form vanishes altogether.

=Ruskan Factory #28, Hades= "How to make a second life."

? POV

"WAKE UP YOU STUPID PRINNY!", a loud voice rang into my ears.

"Wha-!", I blabbered.

Startled, I quickly opened my eyes and came face to face with a skull-shaped loudspeaker. A robotic voice came from the loudspeaker.

"RESPONSE RECOGNIZED. SOUL TRANSPLANT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL".

Soul transplant? Does that mean I am in another body? I looked at myself at a glossy surface nearby. A small, white, pouch-wearing penguin with two blue eyes, disproportionately small bat wings, and two peg legs for feet stares right back at me.

What in the world am I?!

Looking around on the conveyor belt that I am sitting on, I noticed that there were other penguins as well except all their hides are blue. All of them are either crying, beginning to faint, or dead silent. Am I the only white penguin?

The conveyor belt ends, dropping me into a shipment crate and landed on a pile of complaining and confused penguins. Several screaming penguins started stacking on top as me as well, crushing my body. To increase my confusion another robotic voice rang.

"PRINNY SHIPMENT #1,222 IS READY FOR SHIPMENT"

Prinny? Is that what these penguins are? Where are they taking us?

After several hours of rough movements and shaking, I finally drifted off to sleep.

=Valvatorez's Classroom= "Only the best in Prinnies and Sardines!"

? POV

I open my eyes to see that I am laying down on a desk. The wood table and chair provided to me are comfortable and in good quality in contrast to the harsh treatment that I had seen so far. I noticed several other Prinnies waking up at separated seats and tables that are uniformly placed in symmetrical order on stone brick flooring. A chalkboard hangs up against a stone wall in front of us. I checked the windows and just saw rising smoke and calm flames that screams a harmony of beauty and danger.

The front door at the right of the chalkboard opens and a caped figure walks to the front of the chalkboard, facing me and the Prinnies. I inspected the figure for a better look. He was a skinny man with straight but spiky black hair with a pale complexion and thin red pupils in his eyes. His outfit consists of a black blazer outlined with yellow edges, black trousers outlined with white lining, white gloves, and black shoes. The cape seems to point up to his right like a wing, but the most defining feature must be the red badge stapled onto his chest, opening the upper part of his inner white button shirt.

"My name is Valvatorez and I shall be your new Prinny Instructor starting today! I love sardines and so will you!", announced the caped man now dubbed as Valvatorez as he waved back his cape dramatically.

The Prinnies and I were dumbstruck, if not shocked, by the sudden announcement.

The caped man started writing pictures on the board, illustrating dead souls turning into a Prinny, Prinnies working to earn some currency, and finally ending with a Prinny floating in the air in peace under a red moon.

"Allow me to explain why all of you are here. In your past lives, you all were human beings that had led worthless lives and died. To redeem your souls, you all will be rightfully punished through labor and servitude in either Celestia or in Netherworld until you have earned enough currency to reincarnate into a new life. Any questions?", explained Valvatorez as he pointed out each picture on the board to what he was saying all in one breath.

What a determined teacher. A Prinny raised its hand. Valvatorez told him to speak.

"Um… So why are we little penguins to begin with? Couldn't we just keep our old bodies?", the Prinny asked.

"Yes a good question. While it is true that you could keep your old body from your past life, you need to remember that this is your punishment and so you are given handicaps during your stay here. Also, please remember that you are now a Prinny and you will respond to that name from now on.", answered Valvatorez while putting emphasis on the 'Prinny' part of the answer.

The Prinny nodded and Valvatorez continued answering other Prinny's questions before looking over to me.

"Do you have question as well, Prinny?", Valvatorez asked.

"Yes, I do Mr. Valvatorez. Is there a reason why I have a white hide unlike the other's?"

"An interesting question. Yes, there could be various reasons why some Prinnies come in differently-colored hides than your traditional blue Prinny. Although the most common theory is that the color is retained from your past self's hair color."

So that means I probably had white hair in my last life. But what did he mean by the most common theory? There are more theories for my white coat? Before I could ask again, Valvatorez started the class with a promise.

"I expect all of you to work hard until I deem you as satisfactory Prinny material and I promise you that upon graduation day I will present each of you with a mouth-watering sardine!"

The class cheered before Valvatorez settled everyone down and begins the lesson before shouting, "Prinny Rule No. 1: You shall always include the word "Dood" in every line you say!"

=Graduation Room= "It is only just the beginning."

? POV

The other Prinnies and I are standing up in an orderly fashion, waiting to be presented by Mr. Valvatorez with his promised gift: a delicious, slimy, and juicy sardine. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Wiping my drooling mouth, I reminisced the last month of my training as a Prinny. We first went through at least 666 Prinny rules within the first two days, practiced on our speech and actions, went through various scenarios, and even went through tests. In my opinion, the tests are the hard parts as if you failed on any bit of the test, you would have to redo the entire class all over again. At least Mr. Valvatorez was nice to us. I heard from other Prinnies that the other Prinny Instructors are ruthless and would never give out a single sardine! The horror! I mean, we did not get any sardines either but the way our teacher sings about the sardine's greatness makes me want to have a bite.

"Prinny #23!", a prompter announced before shoving me in front of Mr. Valvatorez.

"Prinny, you have done well for yourself. You have completed my training and passed my tests with flying colors! I, Prinny Instructor Valvatorez, congratulate you as our valedictorian with the highest honors!", Mr. Valvetorez announced.

My heart was beating faster as Mr. Valvetorez reached down into a bucket and handed me a glorious sardine!

At last!

I walked off the stage and eagerly ate the delicious morsel.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

This salty and fishy taste surrounded by slime and oil fills my veins and my taste buds. The energy and nutrients of this god-like meal flowing into the very core of my soul. It is too amazing! Tears pour profusely out from my eyes as well as several other Prinnie's from eating this glorious superfood.

"I wish to have a word with you. Come with me.", Valvatorez tapped my shoulder, ushering me to follow him to a corner of the room. I looked at him questioningly.

"Yes Mr. Valvatorez, dood?"

"Young Prinny, as my Perfect Student, I wish to pass upon to you some wise words and encouragement to help you reincarnate into a better life. Will you accept them?"

What?! Mr. Valvatorez wishes to give me a few words of encouragement?! It also seems that I am the only one getting this! I am honored!

"Y-yes! Of course, I will accept your kind words Mr. Valvatorez, dood!", I cried.

Mr. Valvatorez nodded with a smile on his face, his eyes shut. He then gives his signature cape swipe. So cool!

"From this day forward, as you become assigned to an Overlord, harsh trials will await you but I want you to promise me that you will persist and work for the sake of your master's happiness and benefit because they are the ones who gives you a purpose and a chance of reincarnating as a better soul. Do you understand?", Valvatorez spoke.

I immediately nodded with a serious face. Valvatorez smiled and bid farewell, walking away into the shadows. I cried a little.

"AAAAAHHHH, DOOD!" "Where did you go, dood?!" "What is happening to us, dood?!"

I quickly looked at my fellow Prinnies panicking and disappearing into various pillars of light. Are we already being teleported to our masters?! We didn't even get to say goodbye to eachother! Then again, it's not like I was friends with the other Prinnies to begin with… Light shines onto me and everything became silent.

=Laharl's Castle, Netherworld= "An Overlord's Fine Estate"

I fell onto another pile of Prinnies. Rubbing my head from the pain, I stared at the gigantic iron doors attached to an even larger castle in front of me. Screams of monsters and demons surround us with a hellish landscape to boot.

Brilliant.

I was picked to go to the Netherworld. No Celestia here. Seems like my journey to reincarnate has gotten a whole lot harder.
