Watching my previous self, going through his day I decided to test some things while my clones are locating the one that ordered this bombing run.

Oh, yea and I seem to be able to read minds, Well I haven't found a single thing that I can't do as of now so I shouldn't be so surprised anymore.

My clones discovered this when they tried to find the commander of the pilots of the bombing plane.

So, while they teleport around the world doing useful stuff I’ll just mess around.

Starting off I should see if people have souls or other special things.

Then I imagined my vision to 'show everything special about my previous self' with special revering to things I don't know exist.

Looking towards my past self that is currently eating cornflakes I see a white orb.

The white orb is divided in 2 regions, you have the center region that is just a solid white orb and then the outer region that can best be described as a white fog with deep blue sigils floating in it.

'Is that a soul?'

trying to confirm my doubts I imagined the soul of my previous self to turn blue.

And then I saw the soul turning blue.

During my short investigation my clones had already discovered that the bombing run was caused by some terrorists that managed to steal an American bomber plane and were trying to instigate war knowing that tensions are already running high.

Thus, I teleported into the bomber plane

I read the minds of the 2 crewmembers in the plane. In short, they think that it is their 'holy duty' to do this

'... Heh... he he... So, you think that this is your holy duty to KILL INNOCENTS!? So be it then.' I say to myself boiling over with anger.

When I read their minds i saw them doing terrible things just because they have the delusion that this is their gods will.

'Heh I think they should be rewarded for their actions don't you guys?' i ask to my clones while thinking about all the people they killed.

Thus, I teleport myself and the two crew members of the bombers into a tiny pocket dimension with an area of about 10 square meters and create a body shrouded in fog in the barely illuminated void.

"Greetings" I say to the two terrorists who almost instantly sat down and bowed their heads not daring to talk back.

"I have deemed both of you worthy of a blessing and thus I will grant both of you the blessing of immortality" I say with a sadistic grin.

They look up wanting to say something, but I teleported them back to the plane before they could.

At the same time, I left the pocket dimension and destroyed the body I made.

Then I imagined them being immortal, but with a twist, First and foremost when they get hurt their wounds won't heal normally anymore but instead, they will turn into what can only be described as parts of eldritch abominations.

Secondly, they will keep feeling pain forever, say one of them cuts his finger then his cut will start sprouting tentacles and he will keep feeling it forever and lastly, they can't die as long as I don't allow it.

You might have all kinds of commentary on that I shouldn't have done this. But 'I. DON'T. CARE.'

'Let them bask in the glory of heaven only to find out their heaven was the burning pits of hell'

After that it took me about 1 hour to calm down and suppress the urge to just imagine every single one of those terrorists to be nonexistent.

I did this simply because I thought that if I did erase every single one of them then no doubt some church is going to claim that it's a divine miracle.

Then in the worst case the extremists will see this as a sign from god to erase the other religions and then the cycle continues.

And I don't feel like babysitting this world for all of eternity, especially not so in the current state it is in.

You might call this selfish or you might berate me for that the fact that I’m not helping and in that you're completely right, I’m very selfish but make no mistake. While I do see myself as good, I'm no saint nor savior.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

And with that the air sirens start going off.

I ordered my clones to observe the school and surroundings and also ordered 5000 of the 10.000 of my clones that stayed in 'the present' to come here in 'the past' and thus there were 25.000 clones surrounding the area.

After a few minutes of utter chaos, the bomb dropped and in a flash of white light everything turned into a burning hellscape filled with corpses, just like I remembered.

But something unexpected happened, after closing his eyes for the second time my past self just straight up vanished

'huh, so that's what happened.' I thought still not knowing who did it, why they did it or how it was done

Then I started to heal the injured. Sadly, I couldn't do my previous plan because that would've also been seen as a divine miracle

Thus, I imagined everyone to make a miraculous recovery in the hospital, whilst not completely recovering. Of course, this could also be seen as a miracle but there wouldn't be enough proof.

But then I got a better idea and imagined everything except my former self to roll back a few minutes for just this area.

And then I made a single alteration, the bomb failed to release from the plane and blew up the terrorists whilst the wreckage of the plane landed on a clone of my former self, not hurting anybody else.

'Heh I was just overthinking everything again.'

The terrorists stood up from the plane looking like a mess of tentacles

'oh yea...' I think feeling anger well up in me again 'I guess I should change that too' And with that I erased the immortal eldritch horrors.

Then I was at a loss for what to do again.

'I could create magic on this world... No just science alone has already caused enough deaths'

I looked towards my friends that were blown away by the shockwave of the secondary bombs exploding in the wreckage of the plane and are currently unconscious.

'I have a fun idea' I thought as a smile starts forming on my face.

My friends and I, being the weebs we joked about making a death curse chain so that if one of us where to die the others would also get isekaid.

I imagined my Luca and Joseph both wake up in a black void.

===== Pov change =====

Luca is currently walking towards the shelters near the school whilst the air raid sirens are going off.

he hears Joseph saying something, but he's too freaked out to hear what it is.

Then out of nowhere a loud bang resounds in the distance with a shockwave going through the student's bodies.

And only a moment later Nick gets shredded by the fragments from the plane right in front of Luca.

Luca closes his eyes out of instinct and as he is doing that an unknown force teleports him to a black void with a stone brick floor.

After a few seconds both Luca and Joseph, who closed their eyes, open them again now finding themselves in an unknown place.

Both of them look around in confusion.

"Greetings" A strange voice resounds out of the void.

"Come sit" The strange voice says as a old looking stone table with 2 chairs appears.

"What happened to us?" Luca asks the strange voice as he and Joseph move to sit down on the chair.

"I brought both of you here to my domain to propose a deal".

"Who are you then and how is this possible?" Joseph asks.

"I am the gatekeeper and as for how this is possible is beyond your comprehension"

"Then what is your offer?" Luca asks.

"Well both of you have died. So I’ll give you 2 options, 1. you will awaken in your old body completely healed with your injuries overwritten by 'him' 2. I can send you through 'the gate' and you will be moved to a world under 'his' authority, or isekaid as you would call it"

Joseph announces that he chooses option 2 to the strange voice and Luca follows shortly afterwards

"Splendid. The world you'll be sent to is ruled by a rpg system and both you and 2 optional companions will gain starting skills"

"Wait we can select 2 companions?" Luca asks

"indeed, there can be up to 4 transmigrators"

Thinking back at the way that nick got shredded in front of his eyes Luca says: "Can my friend Nick become one of our companions?"

"No, he can't" The voice responded to Luca's confusion.

"Why?"

"I could tell you but that would use up one of your three questions that I would've given you after we were done here"

"Please tell me."

"It's because he's already there... Any more questions?"

"No" Luca answers

"Then. Let's continue, as I was saying you can choose 2 people to join you. Please do that now."

"Let's take Dave and Chris" Joseph says to Luca having already compared all the positive and negative points of everyone he knows

"Ok" Luca simply responds also agreeing

Then the voice announces: "Now that you're done with that I will explain the basics, firstly you will be sent to a steampunk world, secondly XP is not exclusively gained by killing, Nobody would want you to hunt monsters to extinction. And lastly you will get 3, no 2 questions to ask me about anything. To do this just say my name and I will appear"

"And with that, the tutorial has ended, goodbye reincarnators" the voice says as Luca and Joseph fall into a deep slumber
