How many people wish to always live happily with their parents without trouble or worry?
I think everyone would like that until they made their own family.
For me, I wasn't able to hold on to that fleeting dream.
My dad was a rich asshole who was nice in his youth but after some years became an ass.
It was when I was eight that mom divorced but she lost the custody war and now I can barely see her because dad doesn't permit it.
He got worse and after some time began to take his frustration out on me whenever I was home.
To deal with the anger that built up I took up two completely different hobbies. First was martial arts to vent my anger before I reached home where I needed to remain calm against him. The second one is Japanese anime, manga and light novels. These helped distract my mind from him when I was at home where, after making dinner for the asshole, I would lock myself in my room.
I'm fifteen now and I've been getting ready for this day. Today is the same day dad divorced my mom a few years back and the hell began so I found it appropriate to end my suffering on the same day.
I get home with an extra heavy backpack and quickly run up to my room and lock the door just as I start to hear his ranting about food and money.
Yeah, he makes me work like his personal slave so he can laze around. He works the stock markets, and as much as I hate it, he is good at what he does which is why he still has so much money after so long. Not like I get access to much of it. Still, after he blows his extra money he uses me to get more.
Things like bills are paid since he hates having things cut, but after that his money and mine go into gambling, drinking and bitches.
The young and strong boy look he had when he was younger was lost, now he was nothing more than a fat pig.
As I reached my room I locked it and threw my bag on the bed before pulling out what’s in there.
Protection gear used by boxers, gloves and shin guards from Muay-Tai and american football leg and chest gear.
Modern day full set armor. Like all the virtual games there are today I put on the armor to protect myself and beat this ass senseless. Besides this I had a weapon to optimize my power.
After putting the gear on, I pull out some brass knuckles and put them on just over my gloves.
Just as I finish my preparation I hear whining and ranting outside my door followed by banging.
My room is on the second floor just next to the stairs.
It makes it inconvenient if he falls because I want to kill him with my fists.
I walk to the door and get ready before I unlock the door. What followed was kicking the door open. When he straightened up what he saw was a fist with brass knuckles connecting with the bridge of his nose.
I heard a crack which meant I broke his nose bone. Not only that, I also hit both his eyes since the knuckles reached in nicely. He fell back into the bathroom that was right in front of my room.
He was holding his eyes and nose while sprawling on the ground.
I lifted my leg and as soon as he got on his back I let the powerful kick fly right in between his legs.
Let me say, many if not all virtual games have time distortion as well as a feedback system. All the modern martial arts dojos use the virtual world to train their disciples.
These training rooms have an even larger distortion so they can keep the trainees for longer. This is how I could learn so much martial arts in so little time.
With this ass crunched up, I got to his right side before kicking just under the ribs so as to not kill him.
"This is for everything you did to me. I will show you how good it is to feel pain." I say then began a long beating session. I gagged him and slowly made him feel all the pain I have bottled up during my life. I still think he is getting out cheap but halfway through he kicked the bucket.
I had a lot more to do, but I guess someone so weak can't handle more. I searched his pocket and removed his credit card and several other bank documents.
I go to his computer and after some hacking I get in. Sci-fi games do have their charm, especially when they use real world coding.
I then moved to his stocks and bank account. It was empty since he used it all.
I look at the stocks and then I press sell. I put all of his stocks for sale and really quickly the bank account was filled with several millions. I then enter the bank account and then from my pocket I pull out another set of numbers.
It was my mother’s bank account.
She helps me and has been storing a bit of extra money I give to her.
I press transfer and then max the transfer to her account. I was going to make this ass pay her back in triple.
When the account was emptied again I shut the pc off and then removed my gear before cleaning all of it with bleach several times.
I packed everything and then left and went to return all of it.

With this I can finally live my life.
I wasn't going to go to my mother because she has a new family and to have a criminal in her home would cause trouble for them.
I just walk through the night streets. There aren’t many cars around, so I just need to keep listening attentively so I can evade them easily.
The quiet cool autumn air helps cool my head as I walk at night.
When I reached an intersection with absolutely no cars no matter what side you look at, I just walked out.
It was then that a bright light lit up the street and a sudden loud horn sounded.
I looked out and saw a truck heading towards me.
The driver was hidden but I could still see them. Two glowing red eyes on the figure of the truck driver. I couldn't move, I have been trained by unorthodox methods to do many things that seem impossible and what I feel now is possible but something is holding me in place.
So this is what happens in those fan fictions and light novels with reincarnation. The driver is fucking satan himself and he holds you with magic.
I could only chuckle at the irony. Was this karma? Because if it was then it was too cruel.
To make it worse, as soon as the truck hit me I could feel every bone in my body break. It wasn't an instant kill, probably. Maybe he just wanted to make me suffer more.
Yep, that's what happened. As soon as my body disconnected everything went black.
I didn't feel pain or anything. I saw nothing but darkness.
So this was the afterlife, or was this the place souls waited for God to call us back.
I just sat in the darkness. I don't know for how long but soon a light shined before I found myself in a white room. Sitting on a desk was a young boy who looked bored out of his wits.
Is this god? Well it might be possible since god is immortal so being a child could be possible.
Then again from all reincarnation stories I read, for all I know he could be the god of halflings.
“WHO DID YOU CALL A HALFLING!” He shouted, extremely offended.
"You heard that?"
“Of course! I can read your mind.” He replied, with a huff.
"Oh, sorry I didn't know. Also why can't I speak normally?" I asked
“No body.” He points down and I look. What I see is a small glowing body with no features floating.
"Wow this is awesome. So are you going to send me to hell for killing that piece of shit or am I being reincarnated?" I asked as I look at the strangeness of my form.
He looked at me strangely, “You sure are calm.” he said
"Nothing to live for in that shit hole of a planet. At best I would have been sent to jail and become like that asshole after getting out." I replied.
He was quiet for a long time.
“Just send the brat off to the next world!” A new voice rang and I turned to see.
Standing there behind me was a tall pale skinned man with black hair and eyes just as black as the abyss I was just in. He wore a black suit and had a mysterious aura around him. His looks would make any woman melt in his hands.
“Shut up Lucifer. I can't decide how I should treat him. He killed his father, but was beaten all his life. He trained in earnest but for revenge. Sold all the stocks which would be doubted as stealing but gave it to his mother. He’s so balanced that I can't decide.” the boy, who was probably god, said
“Put him in a hero summoning then.” Lucifer said.
"Hell no! Like hell I would serve those pompous church fanatics to kill some random demon lord just to die and have the church make a new demon lord." I shouted.
The man next to me laughed out loud but the boy frowned. Seems like I hit a sore spot.
“Fine. You will be reincarnated but with a blessing and a curse. Your new body will be weak, you won't be able to gain physical strength the normal way but your blessing is that animals and monsters won't attack you.” the boy said.
“That’s a big blessing.” Lucifer said, surprised.
“He already has an affinity for animals so it just makes it better.” the boy replied.
“For me, I, who ran you over, will make it worse. Hahahah!” Lucifer said with an evil grin.
With a snap of his finger my featureless body grew and touched the ground. The body of a child formed. A small body but with a powerful strange feeling.
I looked around a bit and noticed the long silver hair going down my back. To confirm my suspicion I looked between my legs. Yep, I’m a girl. Lucifer was expecting me to worry, scream and cry but all I felt was relief.
"Thank you. I didn't want to remember myself because it would simply bring back bad memories." I said with a smile.
His face was in shock and it was this time for the boy to laugh. I chuckled at myself because my voice was a high pitched soprano voice. From what I guessed, I would look almost like a small doll. I bet I would look amazing with a gothic dress on.
"Anyway, what is this strange feeling in my body?" I asked.
The boy, hearing my voice, calmed down.
"That is called Magic Power in some worlds. The world you are going to calls it Mana just like your old world in several games." The boy explained
I get it, it felt very different from what I felt in games but then again, those were games. Still, the control I gained from using mana in virtual reality games was still here.
In many, if not all, games I played I took class like a monk who used martial arts to fight as well as mana to augment their strength.
With what I could I was able to coat my hand with a small aura of mana. The magic power caused a small green glow around my hand which made me think of dragon ball.
Wondering how strong it was I did a quick hit in connecting my fist to Lucifer’s gut. He bent over as sweat drops formed on his head.
"Wow, to make the devil bend over, wasn't I given a bit too much power?" I asked in awe.
"That is your own power. We took all the training and the power you had with your body and converted it into power to make your new body. With your physical strength being very small your own magic power balances that by giving you that overwhelming amount of mana." The boy explained.
I smile as I look at my fist, then at the devil who slowly got up and rubbed his gut with a frown.
"One last question. Will I be reborn and someday I will look like this or will I gain this body and I will be left in the world?" I asked
The two looked at each other having a silent conversation.
"What do you want?" The boy asked
I tilt my head a moment while thinking. Thinking of how my life was, I really didn't want to suffer again.
"Send me outside of a town or village you think I will be safe in while I grow. I don't want to suffer from abusive parents again." I said.
With a nod and a snap of a finger I vanished in a flash of light.
All that was left was the god and the devil.
"Wonder how entertaining things will be when she gets there. Any idea, Jehovah?" Lucifer asked.
"Who knows, only Chronos the god of time knows but I am sure that human companions are the last thing she will want. Still a developed magic world. I wonder what a super powerful girl with animal affinity and a potential to develop into an archmages with even more mana, will do." the boy said.
"I wonder if there is enough adventure for her to do, oh that’s right. Not a good thing to leave her naked." Lucifer exclaimed. With a snap a new light flies fast and connects to the light taking the girl to her new home.
