Prologue
“What do you wish to be reincarnated into?”
“A Dragon!”
----------------------------------------
Confused? Well, let’s go back to what happened an hour ago...
----------------------------------------
From a third person’s POV :
On a certain day at a certain bank...
*CRASH* #$%#%#
“ALRIIGHTTT EVEERYBODDY HAANDSS UPP!!! NOBODDYYY MOVE!!!!”
“AH~! NOOO!!”
“SHUUUTTT UPPP!!!” *bang*bang*bang*
A truck crashed into the bank and several armed men came out mouths blazing and guns pointing. A typical bank robbery.
“You! Start taking out the cash and put it in the bag before I start shooting people!” *bang*bang*bang*
The poor girl who was just starting her first day as an intern trembled in fear as she was threatened by the large sized robber with a gun. Not knowing what to do, she clumsily tried to find anything which resembled money and threw it into the robber’s bag.
On another side, one of the more senior employee at the bank pushed a red button whilst avoiding the gaze of the bank robbers.
- 5 minutes later -
“ARE YOU JOKING WITH ME?!?! THIS IS PEANUTS!!! GET ALL YOUR CASH OUT HERE OR I PUT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD!”
“Bbu-t I don’t knnoww w-where the m-money is?!? I-I j-just started w-wworking here toda-ay!?!”
“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? ARGHRH!! YOU! YOU KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS?!?”
“H-h-huh??!”
*bang*
“Arghhhhhh!!!”
“YOU, OLD LADY! GET THE MONEY NOW, OR I PUT A BULLET IN HIS HEAD NEXT!”
“Ah!? Y-yes!”
- 5 more minutes later -
“THIS IS THE POLICE! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!”
“FUCK! HOW DID THEY KNOW?!”
“Bro! What do we do?!? We didn’t plan for this!”
“Y-yeah man!? I don’t wanna go to jail”
“What do we do! What do we do?!”
“Shut it! Let me think!”
*clink*
“Huh? What’s that sound?”
“What sound?”
“That ‘clink’ sound”
*flash* *boom*
“Ahh!!! My eyes!!!”
“Fuck!”
“I can’t see!!”
“We’re doomed!”
“Fuck fuck fuck”
- Another 5 minutes later -
5 masked men could be seen escorted out of the bank by several armed police officers.
Meanwhile, one of the higher ranking officers was speaking to the employee who pressed the red button.
“Thank you for your help madam. But in the future, please refrain from taking such risky actions. By the way... Why did you have a stun grenade with you...?”
“Ohohoho~ A woman’s secret~”
“Right... Jackson! Casualty report!”
“Right sir! 1 shot in the leg, 1 dead sir”
“Huh? I don’t remember anybody dying though...” (Employee)
“Where’s the dead one?”
“He was run over by the truck sir!”
“Oh... Poor thing...”
.

----------------------------------------
Basically, I was the one ran over by the truck. Awesome right?
Afterwards, I found myself in a room painted entirely white. Wondering if I had any regrets dying in such a way? Well, the answer is... nope~
My life had been a boring and uneventful one. Got hooked up on anime and manga during my school years, and afterwards it was just your boring average daily life of working, sleeping, eating and anime. Pretty much gave up on humanity, if you folks know what I mean? Even if you don’t, well not my problem~
Well, that’s it for my introduction. Back to present.
“Heeelloooooo? Anybody there?”
“Yes, yes. Hold on a minute”
*poof*
A lady in her early twenties appeared in front of me, which I assume is a God... Goddess? Well you get the point. She had nice curv-
“Hey! Stop trying to describe someone’s appearance right off the bat!”
“Hm? Well, to be fair, they have the right to know.”
“Who’s ‘they’? Ah, whatever. You’re another one of those, aren’t you? Those ‘otaku’s. Sigh, we’ve had so many of them here recently.”
“Yes...?”
“Well, I’l get straight to the point..”
“Wait, c’mon... At least try to humor me!”
“You...!! Ah, fine, whatever! Basically, you died. And in a pitiful manner as well. In our books, you lived an unfulfilled life, regardless of your idea of fulfillment. So we, at Reincarnation Inc. would like to offer you a one-time deal.”
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
“Wait, Reincarnation Inc.?”
“No questions! As I was saying, we are going to let you choose what form you will be reincarnating as, and which world you will be reincarnated to. Simple? An otaku like you should already know what to do. We’ve had plenty of such cases recently that its disturbing... Well, here’s the menu for the type of world, and the menu for the type of possible forms of reincarnation. I’ll be back in an hour. Have fun.”
“Wha-”
*poof*
Well... woohoo?
Right now, there’s two sheets of... metal? Its solid hard, has a display screen, looks like an i-Pad, but thinner than an i-Pad, let’s just call them menus! There’s two menus in front of me right now. One shows [Forms], the other shows [Worlds].
Let’s ignore [Forms] since I already had this planned out during my day-to-day life, like a real otaku. Now, let’s see what kind of worlds they have to offer.
Well, I’ll spare you the boring stuff of seeing what it has to offer and just tell you my choice! Mostly because I’m lazy!
Basically, I chose [Magic] [Fantasy (Earth terms)] [Era : Medieval] [Multiple Races]
and blah blah blah.
“I’m done~! Anybody there? Curvy onee-san!”
“What? It hasn’t even been 10 minutes. Sigh, write down your choices for [Worlds] on this paper.”
- 5 minutes later -
“How many choices did you pick!?!? I can’t believe you took 5 minutes to write it all down!”
“Hehe?”
“Ah forget it. Next. What do you wish to be reincarnated into?”
“A Dragon!”
“And...?”
“And... what?”
“Did you read the menu?”
“No?”
“Sigh... Read. Now.”
.
.
.
“Oh...”
According to [Forms], I had 3 options I’m allowed to pick. Apparently, ‘Forms’ didn’t just mean, well forms? Individual? You get what I mean right? Not that I care.
Basically, 1 option is for choosing your desired reincarnation, such as bug, dog, dragon, cat, rat, dragon, cow, dragon, dragon. The other 2 options are for you to choose add-ons. Apparently, I don’t get to keep my memories of my past life if I didn’t choose that particular option, [Memory Inheritance]. What a bummer... Well, 2 options down, 1 left.
What to choose, oh what to choose. Hmm, let’s go with [Aged to Perfection]. What does it do? I’ll do you a service and read it out just this once.
[Aged to Perfection] : Body of Reincarnated will be created at it’s prime instead of following the normal growth cycle. (Note : Reincarnation Inc. holds no responsibility of any and all issues arise once this option is chosen.)
Eh? Why would I want such an option? Well, I think I should show you the [Dragon] option as well.
[Dragon] : Form of dragon will depend on Reincarnated’s imagination.
That’s it. It was that short of a sentence. Apparently, every other form you choose will also depend on your imagination. So, if you imagined a rat as a dragon, you get a rat shaped dragon. I even confirmed this with onee-san. She said “The entire world will acknowledge said Rat as a Dragon.”
As for the age, in my imaginations, Dragons are immortal, mythical, overpowered beasts. So... basically, a cheat-like existence. Any other things that my imagination doesn’t cover, the system of Reincarnation Inc. will follow up with it in order to match reality, according to onee-san.
Well, that’s basically it. If you’re thinking that I’m being unfair, well life is unfair.
“I’m done~”
.

*ding*
What happened? Well... the curvy onee-san placed my choices for [Worlds] and [Forms] into a machine. That’s it. Nothing special. Don’t get your hopes up.
“Ehem... If you’re done with your monologue. Are you ready?”
“Yes!” Ready for what you ask? Don’t ask stupid questions! We all know what’s to come!
“Ah, wait! Don’t I get any info about the world I’m going to?”
“Nope~ Bye~ Hope we never meet again~”
