The Game

"Hello"-words

'What if'-thoughts

Regular-actions

(A/N this is my first story and I appreciate all criticism go to the bottom for more info.)

There is no "waking up" after you die it is simply illogical due to death which is the endless sleep.

That is almost always the case, but it happens logic can screw itself right now. As in my case when I woke up sitting in a chair in a room with no windows, all white walls and an oak desk in front of me.

As I was waking up, there happened to be an older man sitting across from me. He stared at me intently, making me shift uncomfortably in my seat.

"Well?" He said as if expecting a response, still I did not answer. Thus making the situation even more uncomfortable, not that there was much comfort to begin with. "Speak" he said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Hi" I said somewhat anxiously, ready to ask my first question, for it could decide my fate. "What happened"? I said more confidently "You have been chosen along with eleven others to play a game" he said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"What kind of game?" I said curiously. "A game of death" (with the title said from the number one Bruce lee movie) I appropriately chuckled it "ha-ha-ha, so you are a Bruce lee fan? Good to know" I said trying to hold down my chuckles and partially succeeding.

At those words he broke out into a large smile and I knew that I got his approval. After a few minutes I finally succeeded in stifling my giggles. Now that the tension was gone I felt a lot better about talking to this man.

"Alright, now to elaborate on earlier sit their quietly and let me explain." He said with a ghost of a smile still on his face. "What I mean to say is that there is a game higher beings play for their amusement". We are not picking people because they were wicked but because fit the

"Do you mean gods when you say higher beings?" I asked curiously. "No! He said quickly" standing up as he did said it.

"They are on a higher level of existence taking care of everything, we are not." He says somewhat bitterly, I noticed this but he continued speaking before I could get a reason on it. He continued talking faster this time trying to get away from the subject. "There is a chain of command I am not allowed to explain at the moment." 'Well that door closed quickly' I thought, carefully preparing my next question as not to offend him. "So back to this game you were speaking about." I said quickly trying to save him from rambling "ah yes my bad, I apologize for reacting so poorly," he said sitting back down in his chair. "Now stay quite this time and save all until the end please." He said rubbing the back of his head while smiling earnestly.

"The game in question is where twelve higher beings like I, pick people amongst the dead souls to go to fictional worlds and fight it out for power, glory, and the usual reasons" he said with a smile. "Before you say no way, pass out, or moan about your death let me show you something". With that he started walking towards the wall which right before my eyes turned into a large rectangular widow.

"This is area above the forest moon Endor from star wars" he says with a wave of his hand. With another wave of his hand we were brought to the red keep from game of thrones it was unmistakable with its view of the city that was kings landing.

Finally after another wave of his hand we were brought back to the room "Ok now that I believe you were do I come into play"? I said, excitement creeping into my voice as I spoke. 'Being able to go into any fictional universe seems like it could be fun"

"The higher beings all have a player in the game, you are mine." He said "the rules of the game are simple every player picks a fictional world to combat in whoever wins that world will get a point, if a player is killed they will lose a point." "With me so far" he said as I nodded my head "good, let's move on the reason I chose you."

At these words I froze my mind going blank and my heart rate accelerating." The reason I chose you is" he paused for dramatic effect. "You are normal" at this I was confused "what do you mean" I said somewhat wearily "I mean you have no character bias and won't pick a side with evil characters." and I finally understood that "so some of the other players will pick the evil side on purpose"?! I asked speculatively. "How can anyone be so stupid the evil characters are just that evil" I said with finality.

"I know what you mean it seems so pointless to love an evil character but that's off topic, any way to make things fair there are six boys including yourself and six girls each with their own unique trait like your own." he said "now you know the rules and the situation I wish you good luck and during the games refer to me as Tristan." and with that he was about to send me into a deep sleep with a wave of his hand. I asked my final question "how did I die? I can't seem to remember" At that he paused and said "you will find your answer during the game!" and then I was asleep. There a voice boomed in my mind that said the first fictional world is Naruto!

A/N anyway that is the prelude to my first series feel free to speak up about what might make this fan fiction better, I hope that the future chapters will be better to. I have had this story for a while now and I could not really decide on what fandom to put it in. So while I was searching for a good self-insert I had an epiphany. All of the self inserts are bound to a single type so why not make all types. That was base for the story to set it's self on.(A/N Just so everyone knows I update as it comes to me, so sorry for the wait. Any way the timeline is set right before the third shinobi war. The reason for this is because it gives me the most opportunities, if you don't understand let me explain.

1- It gives the players a better chance to comprehend the situation so all of them can progress without game breaking changes.

2- The Third Shinobi War was a war of some of the best shinobi like the white fang, and the yellow flash. This allows me to create an era of prodigy's like kakashi so I can make seem strong and not seem suspicious. This also allows the characters to fight each other without changing the cannon too much.

So yea there are my reasons that I will list now and to those who say my writing is bad I will happily have someone beta for me if they volunteer. Also the prespective you will see is first person for now but in later chapters it will trasition. Any ways see you all next chapter.

PS. I haven't decided on all the worlds to base this concept in yet so feel free to send suggestions and Original characters to include.

From,
