Before we began this tale I wanna ask you reader 'have you ever wish you could, you know restart over in life with a clean slate?.' rather instead of just starting over, would you take the chance to be reborn, and live in a world filled with adventure and magical beings? after all I'm am currently in a situation that will end with me me being reincarnated in a foreign world with a stupid smile plastered on my face, day dreaming about all the chaotic adventures I'll end up having.
to be sure you understand whats going on let me tell you a little more about myself. For one thing my name is Derek I'm a 21 years old, I currently work at a local food mart as a cart attendant making extra change while I figure out what i truly want to do with my life. lastly I'm a gamer and a beloved fan of Japanese animation. To sum it up am just you topical ordinary young adult male with some hobby's on the side. except I honestly might have a small case of being a Chuunibyou. admittedly I find my self day dreaming about a fantasy life I'll never have, always telling myself my life has purpose and am destined for greatness. as a result my thinking like this often leaves me in very depressing situations when life doesn't go the way I want it to go.
yet I know that my thinking like this only ends up with me hurting myself cause I overly believe in the impossible happening. but I just don't wanna admit that reality is really boring and repetitive like it really is. No magic, no super-beings, no other race besides humans, no nothing! hell the only thing I could possibly look forward to is advance technology, and that probably won't amount to anything till am a old geezers.
sadly only through other peoples artistic creations such as movies,comic books, and animations can I find my fill of worldly adventures. yet those things can olny be so entertaining after a while especially when you wanna do something meaningful yourself in life. only to find you have few options or choice in life, based on your expensively paid education that can take years to develop, and only to find out you don't like your job in the long run. that in the fact that you waste most of your youth in a classroom not really experiencing the joys and wonders of the world.
in short life to me on this rock 'Sucked', still that was about to change for me and in a big way it seemed. first of all before anything happened, it was a Thursday night and I was catching up on reading one of my favorite Japanese Light novels about a guy that gets reincarnated into a whole new world, learning amazing skills and OP ability's. He even was reborn as a different species. although ironically when he explained his previous life it also sound like he lived a somewhat interesting life.
After I finished reading up on a few newly translated fan releases of my favorite series. I decided It was time for bed and got myself a nice cold bottle of water to quench my thirst. once I finished my drink I headed off to bed and made myself comfortable. while falling asleep I a somewhat prayer or better yet wish that something interesting or life changing in my life would happen. the wish wasn't tailored to anyone, it was just a random though I let loose as a wish.

'...ake up...'
I guess I was half asleep at the time, when I started to hear a voice supposedly telling me to wake up.
'it's of the up most importance that you awaken right this instant Mr.Oniell!'
'w-whoa...Whats g-going on?'
I awoke in a panicked surprise at someone calling my name, with a voice I wasn't familiar with. besides I knew for sure I went to bed and that I leave alone in my 1 room apartment.
'Calm down mister O'Neill no harm shall befall you'
after calming down a bit, i noticed that I wasn't in my room anymore. In fact I was floating in what seemed to be a somewhat bright colored void space.
w-who are you...and where am I?
before me came a lightly glowing figure that I think had the shape of a human male. if I had to describe it he reminded me of silver surf but glowing with a slightly bright shy blue color aura.
'The names Is Raza.'
'Raza?...'
even thought a strange glowing being was before my eyes, I wasn't scared or panicking anymore. its like my whole being was telling me there was nothing to fear from this being before me.
'ok Raza why am I here in this strange place?'
'to fulfill your wish of course.'
'm-my wish...what are you talking about?'
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
'your wish for a chance at a second life that is.'
I was shocked at the answer I was given. i mean of course I'd be happy at such an out come but really this strange event came out of now where of course I'd end up confused.
'rriight...ok...I understand, let say I believe everything your saying, why bring me here? why even bother fulfilling my wish anyways, I mean I still don't really know who you are!'
'ahem...well then lets get down to business and let me explain the finer detailed of our current situation, well more like yours that is. my name is of course Raza, I am a being known as a Lesser god. furthermore you currently reside in the place know as the astral realm were all being come before being reborn into the world of the living.'
'W-Wait!... am dead... but how did that happen, am a healthy 21 year old? did someone kill me in my sleep or something?
'N-no no no mister O'Neill I simply forced your astral body the soul out of your physical body. currently your still alive in your world do you see the cord attached to you stomach? that's your astral cord that links your soul to your body.
I looked down and saw a transparent cord attach to my body that was also seemly transparent and slightly glowing a bluish aura.
'I see...'
'Lastly why am I doing this you ask, well that easy cause I feel like that's why.'
I was given the most boring answer to my situation, yet it was well still acceptable....I think.
'but if you want a more appropriate answer its because I'd like some entertainment, its not like everyday I choose to mingle with a mortals problem.'
so your saying your going to help me to reincarnate?
'yes if that is still your wish that is, is it?'
'o-of course I'd want to who wouldn't!?' I said excitingly.
'so...how do we go about doing this and what happens to my current body?'
'first off when we begin your reincarnation process your astral body and astral cord will be severed from your physical body, those meaning your physical body will began to die as a result.'
'worry not because since your already in you astral body you'll feel no pain, its like dieing in your sleep.'
although I was happy to be afford the chance to reincarnation into a more interest world. A part of me was said that I was abandoning my previous body, it felt like leaving a part of myself behind. but of course i wasn't going to give up this chance to achieve my dream.
'now..uh...Mr.O'Neill...
'please stop using my last name, Derek is just fine thank you...'
'well Derek tell me what kind of world are you interested in reincarnating into?'
'hmm...well...are there ones with monsters, magic, and multiple different races...like elf's, Dwarf, beast-men?'
'why yes...yes there are.'
'well I'd like to be reincarnated in one of those types of world if its alright that is.'
'sure that's no problem at all...anything else?'
'N-no not at all am grateful for just being given the chance to be reborn...although do I get to keep my memory's?'
'but of course lad, but it will cost you some of you soul points.'
'Soul Points?'
'why yes soul point or Sp for short. think of them like add benefits that will give you an advantage in your next life.'
Yet again I was shocked in awe at the explanation, he basically said I'd earn some OP ability's to go with my next chance at life.
'Lets see...well..well...looks like you have accumulated about 236 SP.'
now choose how you will distribute them please...'

all of a sudden a window popped up in front of me, with a crap load of options to pick from. once again I had the biggest smile plastered all over my face.
'well let see what we got here'
