Many people question what reincarnations like. Do you wake up in a void and meet an omnipotent being? Do you run into some overpowered fictional character who decides to reincarnate you? I can answer that easily: NOPE.

I just went to sleep one day, and bam—I wake up as a newborn baby. Yep, just like that. As a tiny baby, I started wondering how I could even understand the world around me. My senses were crap—I mean, I'm a baby—but the fact that I could think clearly? That was weird. Babies' brains aren't developed enough for this. My only guess? The soul.

Yeah, I couldn't see properly at first, but whenever someone entered my field of view, I saw this vague outline of something. I decided to call it a soul. Either that, or babies see some really weird shit.

My name is Akito Yukishiro, and I've been reborn in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Yeah, you heard that right. Now, you're probably wondering how the hell I figured that out. Well, it's been three years since I reincarnated. I'm the only son of Haruto and Reika Yukishiro.

You might be thinking, how does that tell me anything about Jujutsu Kaisen? Well, it doesn't—at least, not directly. Like any typical protagonist, my parents died early in my life. And by early, I mean way too early. My mother passed away a few months after I was born. Weak body, weak immune system—the usual tragic stuff. My dad didn't stick around much longer. By the time I was a little over a year old, he was gone. Cause of death? Murder.

Yeah, I'm not buying that. Shit felt wack. At first, I believed it—I mean, there was a police investigation and all. But what happened after that made me question everything.

After my parents' deaths, my grandfather took me in. He raised me the way you'd expect a guardian who's not a parent to raise a kid. The vibe I got from him was of someone who was way too wise, like he knew the secrets of the universe.

That secret? He's too old for this shit.

Anyway, I figured out I was in the Jujutsu Kaisen world when I froze my bed. Yeah, I froze my bed. It was a hot day, and I was feeling sweaty and annoyed. Next thing I know, the entire thing was covered in frost.

The first thing I did was marvel at it. A normal kid might've cried or freaked out, but nope, I was sitting there with sparkly eyes, all fascinated by what just happened. My grandfather must've sensed something because he rushed upstairs and found me trying to freeze the water in my bottle.

That's when he hit me with the most profound words I've ever heard: "I'm too old for this shit."

Welcome to my life. My name is Akito Yukishiro, and I've been reincarnated into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. A death world. Not the worst one, but definitely not the best. I don't have some bullshit like Infinity or Mahoraga, but I do know one thing: I'm going to become the strongest.

Screw Gojo. Screw Sukuna. This is my story. And I'm about to fuck shit up.

Author's Notes:

I don't have an exact storyline or path planned out yet. So, hear me out—drop your opinions, and I might just take them into account. I'll post a few chapters and see if people enjoy the story.

TA TA!

P.S.: This is just the prologue, so it's shorter than normal. Regular chapters will be a minimum of 3,000 words and go up to 6,000–7,000 words.

Chao!
