I spent at least a day sitting at the door, thinking about my life and its abrupt end. I had no time to think earlier, but...

“This is fucked.”

Surprisingly, I seem to have accepted this all decently.

By the second or third day? I convinced myself I’d have time to contemplate my mortality in the next life.

What to wish for now: gluttony is Op; a custom system would be nice, mind control? Would creation be a t3? Infinite money is basically a superpower.

I was thinking of psionics, it could eventually get me the ‘basics’ of every reincarnation story. but so would a system. And if I played it right, the system could be better; the problem is the energy usage... (and probable sentience).

(An: I consider the basics to be an attack, a defense, a movement, a healing, and a storage skill. It’s crazy how many stories have some form of these in them. And how SLOW the ones that don’t, feel.)

I should've asked for a tier list or something.

Screw it, I'm going with my first idea.

Throwing the t3 orb to the ground, I wish for psionics and all knowledge to evolve it further.

Now…

Shattering the pseudo t3, I follow it up with the other remaining orbs.

“I wish for a limited, selective gluttony, with as many charges as this energy will allow.”

Hopefully that's at least a few...

With the ‘easy’ part done, it was now time for the character creation.

Skin: White, obviously (can you imagine going back to the past or something with darker skin? yikes)

Eye color: blue (May as well play into the hydra ideal image.)

Hair color: Fuck brown hair. Sitting in the sun is stupidly hot; I can't imagine having black hair. Anime rainbow colors are out too. Dirty blonde, i guess? Platinum reminds me too much of the Malfoys.

Body type: Umm cultivation ideal? Thin but ripped.

Dong siz-SHHH, it's natural, all natural.

There were a ton of other options as well that took me a day and a half to finalize. I had to make sure I liked the look of my new character; I'd be playing it til the end of my days after all. (After a bit of browsing images of blond dudes, I’m basically imagining Gilgamesh from the fate series, with dirty blond hair and blue eyes.)

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Now, what universe is best? Naruto, DC, and Marvel are immediately out. They may be good later on, but not immediately. Places where anyone could be wiped out at any time, scary. I hate slice of life, so I don't know any good ‘peaceful’ universes. I don't want to get caught up in crap like the shield hero...

I narrowed it down to a couple universes. One Piece, Harry Potter, My Hero Academia, boku-

No! Wtf!

My main issue is the lack of travel options. I don't think the One-Piece world has any teleporting abilities, and I think they have moon travel, but that was lost a long time ago. My Hero has quirks I could steal using gluttony; I'm sure I could eventually achieve interdimensional travel there.

Harry Potter is kind of a wild card. I was a huge fan for a long time and read a ton of fanfiction about it. I’d totally nerd out. I could gain interdimensional travel easily if I'm lucky and get the right AU. And I could learn a lot from that universe. If only I cou-

“I'm an idiot.”

Setting the universe to Harry Potter AU, where interdimensional travel has yet to be achieved, but is possible. Where I can grow and learn the most. (Will this work? Seems a little cheaty, but whatever.)

Reincarnation circumstances?

Orphan

Pureblood: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom, Ron-

Muggleborn

Muggle

There's more, but I'd rather not list them.

Pureblood seems like the best option, but who would I choose? Neville is mostly detached from the story, but between the Dowager Longbottom and maybe Dumbledore watching me for the prophecy... Pass

Harry? Is a great option since he's supposedly so magically powerful, but Dumbledore, Voldemort and the rest of the wizarding world would always be watching me...

Ron is a no go. I hated his character, most of his family, and he has no money to use.

Malfoy… I hate most of the family there too, and Dumbledore would be watching Mini-Death-Eater me closely. But they have a lot of money, are close to Voldemort, have access to a somewhat large personal library, and may be the closest claim to the Black Line too.

I could try for others like a rich muggle born or an AU where Greengrasses or the Bones have a son or something, but I'm afraid it'll derail cannon more. I'd like for the first portion of the reincarnation to be somewhat peaceful so I can learn and train my new powers.

F it.

I'll be born in place of Draco Malfoy. (Yes, born, even with the option of transmigration or waking up’ as a young Malfoy. Being there from the beginning is the best option.) I should have plenty of time to think about my plans while being a baby.

Misc. additions: I want access to at least partial access to the Malfoy vaults. I need the heir ring as soon as possible. And I need the original Draco’s acting skills. He somehow tricked the sorting hat, teachers, and most students into believing he was a Slytherin the whole time. I'm not even half as good an actor as ‘i’ would have been. I honestly can't think of anything else; I feel like the acting thing was a bit of a stretch. I'm sure future me will curse me later for forgetting stuff, but I just want this to be over.

Are you sure you wish to continue?

y/n

Yes

As soon as I thought about the yes option, my vision started to fade to black.

‘I'll be back.’
