Chapter 0 - Prologue

After chugging down a cup of water Raoul asked, “Hey Old man, how much will it take me to become as strong as you?”

Theodore looked at his young friend with an odd look, as if seeing an alien species.

“You can’t be as strong as me, not in this lifetime of yours,” Theodore replied dryly while eating his stake.

“That’s not fair! What about my next life?”

“What are the odds of a man dying whilst impregnating a woman?” Theodore countered.

“Huh??? Where the fuck did that come out from?” Raoul was flabbergasted.

POW!

Ouch!

“Just answer the damn question!” After a trusty old school smack on the head, Raoul was even more flabbergasted, ‘WTF is going through his head, this old pervert?’

“Ok, chill out old man. Although these kinds of stuff happen only in novels, in reality though, I think it would be something like one in a hundred million? or one in a billion? I don’t know honestly, let me check it online real quick…. Hmm, it is actually higher than I expected, it’s two in every 10M. This is very intriguing, who the fuck is interested in this kind of information anyway?”

POW!

Ouch!!!! (AN: this hit was more brutal if you haven’t noticed.)

“From now on you’ll be acting as SIRI, I ask the question, you do the math, and give me the answer! Anyway, where were we? Yes, what are the odds of a woman being impregnated anyway?”

“From a single time, and if they are trying, there is a 5 in a hundred chance.”

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“What are the odds of someone reincarnating into a unicellular organism in the different paths of reincarnation?”

“You’re the boss when it comes to this kind of field, Hehe.”

“This old man is the boss when it comes to any field, Hmph. Next, what are the odds of a sapient ‘reincarnating’ into a particular sperm cell out of all the unicellular organisms in the universe?”

“…”

“And in a tight time gap, where it isn’t in the man’s or the woman’s body?”

“Really tight,” Raoul muttered under his breath.

Theodore acted as if he didn’t hear anything. “And what are the odds of this cell being the one about to impregnate a woman?”

“Do you mean a sperm doner’s?”

“…” Theodore was thrown off by his sudden answer, ‘It seems that my script is outdated again, I need to cut down sometime to update it, for now, let’s use THE EXCUSE,’ “Ahem, we didn’t have those back in the day. Anyway, don’t confuse the odds of reincarnation as a unicellular organism with the odds of being reborn. The first needs to be a cell untied to the life of either the man or the woman, while the latter needs to be a fetus for the soul to reside in.” (AN: this usually happens after four months of pregnancy)

“…”

“The odds are very low compared to being reborn, that’s due to soul incompatibility.”

“…”

“Next is the odds of being born in a mana-rich Galaxy, which I guess you are aware of?”

“Yes, only 10 percent.”

“And what are the odds of retaining a semblance of memories after reincarnation? IF you get reincarnated AT ALL? I will answer that for you, and this is top secret, top-of-the-shelf, just out-of-the-lap info, (AN: If I ever hire an Editor, I’ll let him/her choose for me.)

For a mortal, it’s 0.000000023% out of the reincarnated souls, which are not that many in the first place,

for a First rank super it’s 0.0000000034%,

a Second rank would be 0.000000000042%,

thereon and there forth. And after an exponential growth in power like in the Fifth rank follows a similar one in your odds to reach about 0.0000000000000037%.

For someone at your level though, and when combined with your chances at reincarnating, I will comfortably give you the Zero percent.”

“…”

“I will stop here for now because I’m worried about your mental health. To sum it up these are YOUR odds of being like me in your next life if you ever have one that is!” Theodore finished with a triumphant smile on his face.

“If we don’t factor in the Zero percent from ‘the chance of reincarnating at my level,’ It’s a solid one in a GOOGLE!” Raoul shouted, a crazed smile on his face. (AN: Google, that’s a 1 followed by 100 Zeros!)

POW!

“Fuck, Why the hell did you hit me again? I did exactly what you told me to!!” Raoul Shouted, fed up with the hits.

“What kind of machine are you? You actually did the math for that?!” (AN: Obviously, I didn’t! TEHE :P)
