It was an average Monday morning. The hustle and bustle on the sidewalks and streets of downtown Houston created a 'Cluster Fuck' of people and cars, all on their way to their jobs they slave away at for just a little money to survive.
On the road stopped at an intersection waiting for the light to change green was a man with brown hair, green eyes, and a sharp jawline, this man was Jax Hutchinson. He was on his way to his job at a robotics development company which develops robots for assembly lines and other industrial settings.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jax loved robotics. He loved watching battle bots and various science and tech shows when he was younger. He always dreamed of creating a personal robot, one for his own use, whether it be a butler, a chef, or a bodyguard. He constantly developed his own designs and concepts, which would baffle even the senior employees at WorkBot Technologies, which was the company he worked for.
After working at WorkBot for a few years, he began to lose his passion for robotics, as his expertise was primarily being used to replace jobs for fellow Americans. This realization made him question whether this was truly what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Jax started trying to convince the higher-ups at WorkBot to start developing robots that could assist with daily household tasks, such as cleaning, cooking, and repairing damaged utilities.
However, the company was thriving and generating substantial profits from building assembly robots. Consequently, they rejected Jax's proposal to start making robots for other purposes, which frustrated him to the point where he considered quitting his job to escape the scum that was WorkBot.
As Jax is driving to work his thoughts are swimming about as he continues to contemplate if quitting today is the right choice to be made, Whilst lose in his thoughts he approaches another intersection instead of stopping at the red light he continues to drive alone eventually ending up in the middle of the intersection when he comes out of his thought he tries to reverse back to his side of the intersection.
But its too late, as Jax looks to right out of the window of his car he sees a box truck barreling through the intersection as he looks closer he sees that the driver is on his phone and not paying attention to the road, Jax yells "Shit! He's not even trying to stop!" stomps on the gas pedal to reverse but his wheels spin in place, As soon as the tires of his car catches traction its too late.
The box truck rips through the front of his car sending it flipping along the road before landing on the top crushing the entire vehicle, Jax feel every ounce of strength leaving his body as he blacks out losing consciousness.

Suddenly Jax finds himself conscious and he jerks up looking around, In his vision is nothing but white for an endless distance, He then finds himself staring at a woman so beautiful she glows in a radiant glow, Jax has no misconceptions in this situation after seeing the stunning woman he realizes he is in a different dimension, Heaven? Valhalla? Nirvana? He didn't know but it didn't matter cause him being here can only mean one thing. He died.
"Ahem" He is brought from his thought as the celestial being clears her throat. "O- oh hi? I- I don't know exactly what to say I'm still in shock from all that has happened in the past few minutes."
"Well, we could start our conversation by your removing your lust-filled gaze from my body" The celestial being says in a teasing tone causing Jax's cheeks and ears to turn red in embarrassment. "I- I'm sorry i lost focus I didn't mean to stare" He says whilst averting his gaze turning his head away, "No no child it is quite alright, you have been through a rough time these past few minutes" she says after a chuckle.
"M- My name is Jax, but you probably already knew that, seeing as you're a goddess and all," Jax introduces himself calmly after his embarrassment fades away. "Yes, I did know your name Jax~ she replies in a teasing tone before introducing herself. "My name is Isis, and I am the Egyptian goddess of rebirth and reincarnation. Not to be confused with the unsettling terrorist group from your world."
"After hearing what i reside over as a goddess, you can probably understand why you are here, especially since you had one of the highest IQs ever recorded in your world. Isis says, "So im getting a second chance at life?!" he blurts out before continuing did you say i had one of the highest IQs on Earth?!" Jax looks at Isis, waiting for her to confirm his questions.
Stolen story; please report.
“Yes, you are being reincarnated into another world where you will live a second life. And yes, you had one of the highest IQs in history at 158, slightly less than Einstein. "Wow, that's unbelievable! I knew I was a bit bright since I outperformed all my peers, but being on par with Einstein was out of the question," Jax says in exasperation. "So, since I'm being reincarnated into another world, do I get to choose which world I will go to, the time period, or anything related to my reincarnation?" he asks with curiosity.
"No, Jax, I'm sorry, but you do not get to choose the world; it will be selected at random from the worlds you are familiar with, But to reward your good karma, I will grant you three wishes related to your life in your new world" Isis explains. "But first, let's find out which world you will live your second life in" She says as she projects a wheel commonly seen in game shows on tv.
On the wheel are the names of various worlds, and works of fiction slowly appear in the empty spaces, such as Marvel, Harry Potter, Naruto, and many others gradually fill the empty spaces. Once all the names appear on the wheel Isis moves her hand to the side of the wheel, preparing to spin it "Are you ready to find out which world you will live your second chance in?" Isis asks in a joyful tone. "Im as ready as I'll ever be" Jax replies, nodding in confirmation.
Isis then spins the wheel, which makes clacking noises as the arrow moves from section to section as it spins, The wheel begins to slow down, allowing the names to be read before it finally reveals that the arrow has landed on "Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girl In A Dungeon" after the wheel settles, Isis looks over to Jax to see him contemplating the new world he will live in from now on.
"Is this world to your liking?" She asks him, looking at him with an expectant gaze awaiting a response. "Honestly this world is much safer than some of the worlds i seen on the list, So hopefully i will be able to live a long exciting life" Jax says with slight excitement in his tone "So when do i get to choose those wishes" He says in an gleefully impatient tone.
"You can choose your wishes now, also you get to design a background and design for your body in your new world" Isis says, "Okay im going to start with my wishes first then we can design my body, So for my first wish i want a system where i can level up and gain experience from killing monsters, as for my second wish i want the ability to create my own magics" Suddenly Isis interrupts him "Your second wish will have to be limited so you will only be able to create 3 unique magics, and for your first wish you will require a 'Falna' for your levels to actually effect your strength"
"Okay i thought there would be some rules to this sort of thing to avoid ruining the balance of the world" Jax says in a scholarly tone "And for my final and third wish i want a personal weapon, I want a Damage resistant rapier which can level up and evolve, also I want it to have the same design as Asuna's rapier from 'Sword Art Online'"
"Hmm I can allow that." Isis says with a nod of approval "Now that we got your wishes out of the way its time you choose your background and design of your body." She says before pointing at Jax "I will ask you a question and you will answer, this is to determine your background then I will let you describe your appearance you want to have." Isis explains "First question, do you wish to awake in Orario when you are transported?" She asks
"I would like to awake somewhere near Orario outside like in a tree line nearby or something, but this is only if you can make sure i have identification to properly enter Orario" Jax Says "Yes Yes that is possibly, I will attach your identification card to the scabbard of your rapier, This card will be used to display your rank, name , and familia to the guild employee's" Isis explains "Now for your second and final question, Do you want to be of royal descent or possibly a reputable family line?" Isis asks
"No i would like to be of normal birth to some traveling adventurers when they visited an village outside of Orario before being abandoned and being left an orphan" Jax says to answer Isis's question "Okay that is understandable, without family ties there is less to worry about and you can live a free life with no one constantly breathing down your shoulder" Isis says in acknowledgment "Now i would like you to describe how you would like to look in your new body this includes race, hair color, and age." she explains.
"I would like to be 19, So 4 years younger than my previous life, Before choose my race, Do all the benefits that normally come with the race apply to me Aswell?" Jax asks looking at Isis for clarification "Yes the benefits of the many races do apply such as elf's higher agility and magic power, and the dwarfs endurance and strength" Isis explains.
"Okay, in that case i would like to be an elf, Obviously i would like to continue being a male, And i would like to have short black hair with Grey, Slate colored eyes." Jax says after hearing Isis's explanation. "Alright your all set to embark on your adventure in another world, The next time you awake you will be in your new body in the world of 'Danmachi', I wish you luck in your adventure and hope you live a long fulfilling life this time around"
"Tha-" Before Jax could properly say his thanks he is brought into unconsciousness. the next time he awakes he will be in a new body, and he will have a whole new world to experience and adventure, Where will his journey take him? Will he have a fulfilling life and die happily from old age with grandchildren? or will he succumb to his wounds in the heat of battle and die a early death?" no one knows how the future will unfold.
