ROB gazed upon me and said, “You are dead.”
I knew that already. Standing in front of the blurry white silhouette of ROB, inside the white room, we just stared at each other for a moment before he told me to follow him.
He led me to a roulette and explained, “You have to spin this roulette five times, depending on your karma, you would influence the roulette’s options and results. The first spin will determine which world you’ll reincarnate in, and the rest will decide your start-up fund for your new life in the form of energy, body, spirit, character (Job Class), and an item. This will ensure you won’t die immediately in a world filled with mana or superpowers.”
I chuckled and asked what’s been bothering me since the start, “Where is this place? And who are you? I mean, I know you’re God, but what kind? Like ROB or just a big omniversal entity?”
The ROB chuckled and replied, “Nothing so grand. I’m just a superpowered being from our universe who was, by luck, chosen by a true deity and became a low-ranking deity in the omniverse to facilitate karmic reincarnations for a select few lucky souls.”
That went way over my head, so I decided to stop thinking about it. I turned my attention to the roulette. Thousands of words were inscribed on it, tiny yet incredibly clear, probably thanks to ROB. Some worlds I recognized, some were vague, and others I had no recollection of. I made a nondistinct prayer and spun the roulette. The pointer landed on MCU. Well, it could have been worse. I’ll just enjoy life as it comes. Besides, I had five more spins, and maybe I would join as a cosmic entity and beat the hell out of everyone in my universe.
Excitement bubbled in me as I spun the roulette again. This time, the pointer stopped at ‘Chakra Full Pack: Otsutsuki Version’ for ‘Energy’. I looked at ROB, and he explained, “Not bad for a start. You’ll have the Ten Tails’ chakra and be hailed as a chakra ancestor, capable of bestowing chakra seeds to others. But you’ll have to work hard for that. Chakra doesn’t grow out of nowhere. If you slack off, you’ll only reach the One Tails level at your peak. To bestow chakra seeds, you need Ten-Tails level chakra. Even though you’ll have a large amount of chakra, like the Tailed Beasts, your regeneration won’t be on par with theirs right away.”
“Hmm, you would gain three dojutsu, Rinne Sharingan, Tenseigan, and Kokugan. You can use two dojutsu at once, one for each eye."
I instinctively touched my forehead, where a third eye would be.
“Don’t worry,” ROB laughed, “you won’t have a third eye like Kaguya. You’ll start from the bottom, with one tomoe for the Sharingan, and the same for the rest. Your Dojustsu will grow with your spirit. However, you'll have to grind them for them to evolve. You won't have any disadvantages that Sharingan and Byakugan have, courtesy of having Otsutsuki physique."
I nodded, and ROB continued.
“Alright, now you can choose a kekkei genkai of your choice and you will also inherit the knowledge of seals and taijutsu, as practiced by the Otsutsuki.”
I chose Wood Release, and ROB told me to spin the roulette again. The result surprised me a bit as it was a 'One Piece Pack' for ‘Body’. I’d get the peak One Piece physique, with the best Lineage Factor of One Piece and a Logia type fruit.
I hesitated, not wanting to choose the type of fruit just yet. What if I got a similar power in the next spin? I enquired about it to ROB who assured me he could sort the options later. I gladly accepted and spun the roulette again. The result was the 'Avatar Full Package' for ‘Spirit’. Spirit bending came with it, which wasn’t strictly related to spirit but still fit within the category.
It was self-explanatory. I’d get all the Avatar's bending powers and the spiritual side of things. Plus, my spirit increases with my chi and ability to bend.
I spun the roulette again. This time, I got ‘Hiro Hamada from Big Hero 6' for ‘Character template’ with the ‘Job Class’ being ‘Innovator’. ROB explained to me that the Innovator job class would produce a special chemical in my brain, that would have a 5% chance of giving me inspiration when I'm inventing something new. Wherein, Hiro’s character template would overlay with my brain. If I were born smart, I’d become even smarter. If I were born dumb, I’d be a bit smarter than Hiro.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Before the final spin, ROB explained that this one was for items. I could be lucky and get something OP, or unlucky and get a banana for breakfast. Luckily, I got the ‘Allspark (Modified)’ from Transformers for ‘Items’.
Even though these powers made me happy, they wouldn’t have much impact in the later stages of the Marvel universe. Even Thanos would be a tough opponent for someone at the Sage of Six Paths level.
“Alright,” ROB said, “you’ve got a little karma left, enough for a small wish but not another spin. Make it quick, and don’t forget to choose your Logia type fruit.”
I fell deep in thought upon ROB's remark. While these powers were great, they wouldn’t be enough to threaten a single cosmic entity, I needed something more. I reviewed everything, realizing the only missing link was the Goro Goro no Mi. Chakra has seven fundamental elements, five basic (fire, wind, water, earth, and lightning), and two creation types (yin and yang). I had boosts for Yin chakra from my Dojutsu, Haki, and Avatar’s spirit. For the Yang chakra, I had the One Piece peak physique and Otsutsuki traits. Avatar's bending covered the other elements, but lightning was missing. And I have an intuition that it might be my best bet for what I'm about to ask next.
I requested the Goro Goro no Mi for my Logia type fruit, knowing it would boost my Yang and lightning chakra. Then I asked ROB, “Can I combine all my powers?”
ROB seemed surprised, “Not with the karma you have left.”
That didn't surprise me though, I asked again, “Is it possible if I had more time?”
“Yes,” he replied.
“How much?” I pondered.
“Thirty years.”
That was doable if I reincarnated before the '90s. It was a risk, but I nodded for ROB to proceed. It's not like I could combine all my powers, even with a genius level brain. My intellect is much more useful in the scientific field rather than in mystical matters.
“Excellent choice,” ROB said, “Chakra from Naruto, Chi from Avatar, and Haki combined with One Piece’s Lineage Factor. Together combined, they’ll form your very own cosmic force.”
After calculating a bit, he put a thoughtful expression on his face, hands under his chin. “Let's call it ‘Chakra Force.’ Its first benefit will be an extended lifespan. Your Wood Release will become all-encompassing, like the Ten Tails and more. The second benefit is that every increase in ‘Chakra Force’ will enhance every fiber of your being, including chi(life force), increasing both your power and spirit, the rest you can figure out yourself. As for your dojutsu.”
ROB chuckled. “Combining the Rinne Sharingan, Tenseigan, and Kokugan, you’ll unlock the Sierishingan or Spirit God Eye. But it requires you to unlock all their powers first. And you won’t be able to use it until you unlock Chakra Force, as it’s the eye’s fuel. For the powers of the Spirit God's eye, you’ll know upon unlocking it.”
I nodded.
“Now about your item,” ROB continued, “the Allspark you’ve received isn’t the original, full of cosmic energy, but one with more potential if properly used. It can grant life to mechanical creatures in phases. With one spark, you can create a low-level Cybertron. Five sparks can produce mid-level Cybertrons, Autobots like Bumblebee, and Decepticons like Starscream. While 50 sparks can create high-level Cybertrons, even turning large structures like SHIELD’s Helicarrier, Fortress into Cybertrons. Primus are high-level cybertron. The most powerful function is giving life to a planet, which requires 5,000 sparks and can be used once but it also has other stringent requirements. Normally, the Allspark would generate five sparks per year, but with Chakra Force, it can recharge faster, giving you 10 sparks per year. Every Cybertron has only one spark as its cosmic energy, and upon death, the ‘Life Spark’ cosmic energy would return to Allspark. Now, It can be recharged passively by you allowing it to absorb all your powers that form ‘Chakra Force’ converting to ‘Life Spark’, before the Thirty year time period. Now, let's move on to your character page and get your reincarnation done with.”
I blinked in confusion. ROB looked amused. “You didn’t think the character part was just about the template and class, did you? We give a little extra to those with positive karma even if the outcome was unintentionally done by you.”
I nodded. A screen appeared before me with options for ‘Character template’ and ‘Class Job,’ marked with a check. Below that were three more options, with Yes or No toggles. I clicked the first.
[Would you like to create a reason for your powers?]
[Yes / No]
I glanced at ROB. He explained it was like the X-Gene for mutants. I’d get powers from some phenomenon, as mine were vast and included the Allspark.
I nodded and clicked on Yes. The next option presented itself.
[Would you like to seal your memories for an extension of time?]
[Yes / No]
I was about to click No, but ROB stopped me. “It’s better if you seal your memory for a while. Most beings wouldn’t notice your reincarnation, but carrying over your memories would make you a dead giveaway. You chose to explain your powers, so higher beings might take an interest when you’re born. A newborn has a pure spirit, but an older one, filled with memories, could catch their eye.”
I thanked ROB and clicked to see the time periods. It was a multiple of four, so I chose four years after birth. The next option both surprised and elevated some of my worries.
[Would you like to keep your powers dormant until your memories return?]
[Yes / No]
This was one of the best options I’d seen. I clicked Yes, keeping all my powers dormant until my memories returned, except for the Hiro template. Of course, I chose to seal off the memories of whatever Hiro template would give me.
The final option was character creation. I didn’t have many choices, as the options were from the worlds I had powers from. After some thought, I selected Itachi Uchiha as my template. This would give me a similar appearance, but I’d also retain positive aspects of my DNA, potentially looking even better than a typical Uchiha. There won’t be any fundamental changes in the DNA just the change in looks. So I won’t get any talents of Itachi Uchiha except for the looks.
ROB looked at me with a smirk after I finished the character creation portion. “It’s been fun talking with you, mortal. May the omniverse bless you on your journey.”
I didn’t have time to respond before I felt an immense force pushing me. My vision blurred, then faded into complete darkness.
Author's Note: So that's it readers, for the first chapter. It's my first time writing the previous one didn't count. English isn't my first Language, so your help in the feedback would be appreciated. The MC has many powers but that itself would be a tiny shackle to him. He has to learn everything from scratch with no one to teach him. Even though he has the knowledge but without much guidance he might get stuck. He won't be OP from the start, not that he would be weak. Let's see where the story unfolds. Thank you for reading.
