Have you ever imagined what the void would be like? And I'm talking about absolute emptiness with no space, no time, no light or matter, you might think it would be absolutely dark and cold like we see in space, well, you'd be wrong.
The void was not something that humanity had words to describe, it was neither dark nor light, it was neither cold nor hot, on the contrary it was a mixture of colors that I doubt human eyes or any animal on earth would be able to see, in fact, there was no thermal sensation instead there was a sensation of water with static that covered my entire body, you may be wondering "if that's true, then how are you perceiving it" and the answer is, I don't have a body physical at the moment.
How did I get here? I have no idea, I was lying in my bed in that daydream state when I heard a bizarre noise, it was like something was being ripped and broken, and it made the air shake like the shock wave of an explosion, I just had time to try to get up when I felt an immense pain throughout my body that lasted about 3 seconds, then I found myself here... I think I died, but I'm not sure.
It took a while for something to change in my situation, and I can't say I was surprised.
§ VERY WELL, YOU ARE NEXT ON THE LIST §
I heard someone or something say.
§ LET'S GO, TO BEGIN THE CONVERSATION YOU DIED, DUE TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR OR A PRANK IN BAD TASTE YOUR PLANET WAS THE EPICENTER OF A DIMENSIONAL COLLAPSE, WHICH ENDED UP KILLING EVERYONE AND THROWING THE SOULS OF THE PLANET INTO THE VOID ALONG INSTEAD OF SOME AFTERLIFE, BUT IN HAPPIER NEWS FOR ALL YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW SOULS THAT DIDN'T SHARE AND DISPERSE AS CONCEPTUAL ENERGY DUE TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VOID, WHICH MEANS YOU GET THE CHANCE TO EXPLORE A NEW WORLD, AND WITH AN INFINITE MULTIVERSE WHERE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE, THIS MEANS YOU CAN GO TO THE WORLD OF YOUR DREAMS, WE WILL EVEN GIVE YOU ADVANTAGES EQUIVALENT TO THE KARMA YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED IN YOUR SOUL §
—...
§...§
— The fuck am I in a fanfic?!
§ MAYBE, LIKE I SAID, THE MULTIVERSE IS INFINITE THERE IS NO DOUBT SOMEONE OUT THERE WRITING A FANFIC THAT IN COINCIDENCE IS YOURS LIFE OR AT LEAST VERY CLOSE TO IT §
—...
§ CAN WE START, THERE ARE MORE SOULS I HAVE TO TRANSPORT §
I wanted to scream, pull my hair, maybe cry, but I could do that later, preferably when I have a body.
— Ok, let's go in parts, I died, and you're giving me the chance to reincarnate in a new world as an isekai or a gamer fic.
§ BASICALLY, BUT THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR YOU TO ACQUIRE A SYSTEM, AT LEAST NOT COMPLETE, THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL NEEDED IS GREATER THAN WE ARE WILLING TO SPEND ON A SINGLE SOUL AT THE MOMENT, IF THERE WERE A FEW SOULS TO TRANSPORT MAYBE, BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SOULS WHO SURVIVED THE VOID FROM YOUR WORLD, WHICH IS VERY SURPRISING, YOUR WORLD DOES NOT HAVE THE METAPHYSICAL WEIGHT TO JUSTIFY SUCH RESILIENT SOULS §
— Ok...NO infinite evolution system for me so, ok, to begin with you talked infinite multiverse and karma, is there some kind of limits on which world I can choose to live in and how much karma I have?
§ NORMALLY YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY WORLD WHETHER FICTION OR IMAGINATION, BUT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SOULS, I WILL LIMIT YOU TO SOME PLACE IN THE DC MULTIVERSE YOU CHOOSE WHERE, IN RELATION TO KARMA IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE QUANTIFIED IN NUMBERS OR AT LEAST NOT UNTIL YOUR SOUL IS INTEGRATED INTO A SYSTEM, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK AND I WILL ANSWER YOU IF IT IS POSSIBLE OR NOT, OR IF THERE ARE OTHER CHEAPER OPTIONS, SO TO SAY, FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT §
I feel like the only reason I'm not having a hysterical attack is because I don't have a body, that's something I have to think about later, I might need to see a psychologist when this is all over, not that this is anything new to me. There are more important things to focus on at the moment, ok DC I don't know much about comics in general I have a lot of random knowledge thanks to fanfic, it's enough to know that the entire multiverse is full of dangers and there is an apocalypse every Saturday other than that the only DC world I have any idea about is the animated version of Young Justice, so it's going to have to be this one, what more can I ask for to improve my chances of surviving a world full of cosmic entities, aliens and supernatural forces, I doubt that I can become an entity right away, I don't really like the idea of being an alien, but depending on the species it wouldn't make much difference, at least in appearance, but even if I choose to become a Kryptonian I will have a limit to How much will I be able to grow and at what speed, I never thought I would be a power-hungry person, but in a DC world if you don't have power you die quickly or suffer a fate worse than death.
— I can ask to be something outside the universe DC?
§ YES YOU CAN, YOU CAN EVEN ASK TO LEAVE THE DC UNIVERSE, BUT IT WOULD COST KARMA §
An idea began to form in my head, one of the most versatile forms of power not only in DC, but in other universes is magic, I have always loved reading about magic and would love to be able to use it, but to use magic efficiently I would need knowledge, which I don't have, I can ask for knowledge, but I have the impression that I would be limiting myself, I need to somehow become strong and acquire knowledge, but if I ask for it directly I doubt I have enough karma.
That's when an idea came to me, if I can't be strong right away I can at least grow to become strong later, the problem is how much time would I have before a global destruction event arrived?
— Okay, I'll ask for what I want right away and if it's not possible we'll negotiate, I want to go to the world of Young Justice animation, I want to become a Winx fairy, but I want to keep the male gender, I want a means of acquiring things from other worlds like a shop, and I want to be able to travel through the multiverse.
§ THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD, THE SPECIES IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL, BUT NO PROBLEMS, THE SHOP CAN BE PROBLEMATIC MAINLY HOW YOU WOULD ACQUIRE THE ITEMS, BUT I THINK WE CAN DEVELOP A MERIT SYSTEM FOR THIS AND THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL AROUND MULTIVERSE IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT, BUT YOU CAN PURCHASE SOMETHING SIMILAR FROM THE SHOP §
— Okay then I think we have an agreement.
§ VERY WELL, YOU WOULD STILL HAVE A LITTLE KARMA SO I'LL ADD A SKILL THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL, IT'S AN INFERIOR VERSION OF THE GREAT SAGE IT'S NOT A LOT, BUT IT SHOULD HELP YOU PROTECT YOUR MIND, AS WELL AS MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD... NOW GO!§
I felt like everything was distorting, I felt like something was inserted into my soul, I felt a body growing from the very core of my being, I regained my physical senses as I was being thrown around by a tornado of colors, I only had time to see the ground approaching very quickly before everything went black.
