Chapter 1{F*ked up waiting room}
In the infinite vastness of nothingness, where even the concept of darkness itself seemed to lose its meaning, there was a single, solitary speck of existence. It was an overweight, black-haired man, floating aimlessly in the void, humming a tune that seemed to echo endlessly throughout the nothing. His eyes were shut tight, lost in the serene bliss of his own melody, oblivious to the emptiness that surrounded him. And then, without warning, the silence was shattered. A voice, ethereal and otherworldly, pierced through the man's consciousness, demanding an answer to a question that he had never heard before.
The overweight man jumped - or, well, tried to in the nothingness - in fright. His heart raced as he frantically searched for the source of the voice, but all he found was the endless, featureless expanse of nothing that surrounded him. "W-who's there?" he stammered, his voice barely audible against the deafening silence. There was no reply, only the faint hint of laughter that seemed to dance around him like a mischievous spirit.
Suddenly, a figure materialized out of the darkness, the old man with a white hair and beard in a open beach shirt and pineapple swimming trunks laughing heartily. The overweight man felt a mixture of relief and confusion; he had never seen another living being in the nothingness before. "Ahaha, sorry to scare you there, fella," the old man said between breaths, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "I'm just Zeus or, you know, God, Odin, whatever you want to call me."God calmed himself down and saw the overweight man isn't surprised or anything.
"Well, howdy do," God continued, "I've been watching you float around here for quite some time now, and I have to say... you're not really reacting the way I thought you would. I mean, most people would be shocked, frightened, maybe even a little grateful to see the likes of me, but here you are, just humming away like nothing's happened. Why aren't you surprised or anything?" His voice was curious, almost disarmingly so.
The overweight man paused for a moment, his brow furrowing as he tried to gather his thoughts. "Oh, well," he said finally, "when I was alive, you know, I studied all the various religions and their different conceptions of God and the afterlife. So I came up with my own theories, and... well, I guess I just figured you'd answer them all." There was a note of apology in his voice.
God chuckled. "Ah, so you were one of those 'intellectuals', huh?" he said, using air quotes. "Well, I'm glad you were at least expecting me to show up. But let me tell you, my friend, there's a lot more to the afterlife than just floating around in nothingness and having the occasional chat with a deity. You see, I've been watching you for a reason-" the overweight man piped in. "You were bored and because of that your going to send me off to another world right?"
God's face darkened. "Well, yes, that's partially true, but there's more to it than just that. You see, the reincarnation thing, your actually going to be the first I will do it to and if any suggestions please give them. So, how about it? Would you like to give reincarnation a shot?"
The overweight man considered the offer for a moment. On the one hand, he was curious about what life would be like in another body and another era. On the other hand, there was something comforting about the idea of simply drifting back into the nothingness, of returning to the nothing he had always known. "Well," he said slowly, "I guess it couldn't hurt to give it a try."
God smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Very well," he said. "Then consider your wish granted. You will be reincarnated into the world of Ben 10, with your very own personal Omnitrix. You will have access to all forms of magic from the realms of fiction, and your mind and body will be perfect. Furthermore, you will be gifted with the knowledge and abilities of all known combat styles from those same fictional realms."
The overweight man was overjoyed at the prospect of becoming a part of the Ben 10 universe. He imagined himself as Ben, using the Omnitrix to transform into various aliens and fight against evil forces. As he floated there, lost in thought, he couldn't help but wonder if his personal Omnitrix would be the same one he had crafted as a child, inspired by the show or not because if so then it would be fun because he added the ultimatrix and nemetrix to it and a unique extra thing here and there like Leviathans of Subnatica, Death Angels of the Quiet Place, Cybertronians and his own created Alien. The XenoSpike. What he used to call his XenoSpike, Ifrit but most unique thing of his own Omnitrix, is it becomes one with his wielder, to the very Atomic level itself and few extra things he can't remember.
But lost in his thoughts he remembered how boring this void was to the point just hearing something was enough, he remembered his family they're happy smiling faces enjoy the food he made while his siblings played music for all of them, he could not explain it but those memories were the only thing that cept him sane through the time in this void.
He decided that while he could live this new life in this amazing world of Ben 10, he wanted to keep those memories close to his heart and decided to ask God if he could give him perfect cooking skills and the ability to play any of his world's music, god was silent for a moment in the full 10 to 15 minutes he agreed.
"Well, I don't see why not. You're the first person I'm sending through reincarnation, and I don't want to limit you in any way. You're free to ask for whatever you like, within reason. So, the cooking skills and music abilities are yours. Now, about your new life in the Ben 10 universe-"
The overweight man nodded gratefully, a wide smile spreading across his face. He knew that he would miss his family and the life he had known, but the promise of a new adventure in the Ben 10 universe was too exciting to pass up. As he waited for God to continue, he began to daydream about all the possibilities that lay ahead of him.
He also thought of how could these gifts he is getting along to his new life would appear, he remembered how his little brother, Nick showed him a fanfic of a persone getting sent to Harry Potter and got wishes but in the storie he got his wishes but experienced a childhood full of torture and experimentation by Voldemort's goons, it made a pit in his stomach remembering this.
He pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind for later, God is now telling the overweight man he will be put into Ben's body when he was 5 years old and this world existed outside the normal stories so his world is basic a new timeline in it's entirely but in this new Ben 10 world something's aren't really the same, but most of the main timeline would stay the same somewhat.
After saying that god looked at him, "Ok, anything else you want and before you ask I did change Ben well actually your middle name to Jackel if you don't mind because the name Benjamin KIRBY Tennyson doesn't work, so I changed it to Benjamin Jackel Tennyson and yes you would be born with your personal Omnitrix and all those magic types and to not get mind-readers on your ass, so fake memories will be planted over time that will make them think you actually made your own Omnitrix."
The overweight man nodded, still a bit overwhelmed by the news. "No, no, that's all I wanted. Thank you so much, God. I promise to make the most of this opportunity and live up to the responsibility that comes with it."
But unknown to the man God had other ideas that the man could get his magical abilities, god didn't lied he did give the man all the magical energies in fiction but the man has to create all the spells from scratch and it was a good thing that the he chose a perfect mind so the man could in theory create them, like if he wanted to create fire he must understand everything behind how to create it and then learn how to use it in combat, god did give the man all known combat styles in creation but his body must be ready and the man also needs to think of them and also train with them like if the man tried to use Hasshoken a combat style from One Piece that each hit made creates shockwaves, if the man did this in a five year old body it can rip the poor man's body apart, so because of those reasons the man NEEDS to train before using any combat style and magic to stay safe.
And as for the cooking skills god gave the man the perfect cooking skills and the man got a cookbook with every recipe in the multiverse planted in his mind and the man also got the musical abilities, the man got all the musical knowledge and the abilities to play every instrument in the multiverse and also got a natural voice that can switch between vocals for each song to better fit those songs and the man got the cooking skills that he could create any dish in the multiverse with perfect taste, the man also got the knowledge of how to cook all the food in the multiverse with perfect taste, the man could also create his own dishes and music and cooking techniques and the man got a talent for teaching cooking and music to others and can teach magic but at a very lower level as that of his cooking and music teaching skill though.
After god thought of that, he and the manhad to say they're goodbyes "Well that is everything I hope you have a great new life Jack."god had said to the man,"Thanks 'oh great heavenly father' the man said with a slight bow, with the slight gesture that made God and the man laugh there goodbyes were said, with a snap of god's fingers the man disappeared to his new life.
