(First person pov)
I died; I honestly don't even remember how, and right now I'm just some floating thing. I wonder, is this my soul? I can feel that I'm able to move it only the slightest bit with lots of effort, and since the only thing I can do is wait, I might as well try to explore this place, even if it's at less than a snail's pace.
After what feels like hours forcing my soul to move bit by bit, I can feel that whatever I am is able to move my soul a slight bit easier.
Now, after what felt like days, I am able to see a white door far in the distance, and with nothing else to do, I force my soul forward, getting better and better at moving it, even bumping into things every now and then, which for some reason hurt like a bitch.
after what felt like a couple days or hours—honestly, it's hard to tell time here—the bumps hurt a lot. I can only assume I am going numb to the pain or my soul got tougher it at least felt a lot denser , my speed lowered slightly with the weight of my soul, and I had to earn that speed back
Now, after what felt like it could have been months of moving my soul and strengthening it, I was moving fast, real fast, and as I got closer to the door, I could only feel myself accelerating. I then slammed into the door, bursting through it only to see a man who looked shocked at my intrusion.
He looks at me with a look of confusion, then a look of realization appears on his face. "Oh, apologies. I was setting up for your reincarnation, but when I got to where you were supposed to be, I couldn't find you. you had me dead worried, young soul."
I look up at him now with a shocked look on what I can only assume to be my face, as I have gotten quite familiar with the form I'm in, and the weight of his words hit me hard, as it would mean I was the cause of my own torment. "Wait, was I just supposed to stay put?"
The man quirks his eyebrows at me. "Yes, as a matter of fact, you're the first person to ever come to my door. Well, anyway, now that you're found, your reincarnation is overdue."
The old man immediately summoned a desk and chair and looks up at me. "I've got a couple of options for the world you can choose. Here, take a look."
Hunter x hunter, Soul eater, Jujutsu Kaisen, and chainsaw man
I tilt my head, thinking over the options, then look up at the man. "after my choice, will I get wishes or a boon of some sort that could support me?"
He nods his head.
A smirk grows on my face. "Alright, then I choose Soul Eater."
He nods and brings out 6 boxes. "each of these boxes can give you a boon, but you can only pick three times, so pick carefully."
Box 1 get a special soul
Box 2: an ultra-superior body
Box 3: A unique, perfect weapon bond that you are bound to get with unique abilities.
Box 4 become half witch.
Box 5 become half werewolf
Box 6 get a special madness wavelength.
"Alright, these are some pretty damn good options, but I'm curious about box 3. What makes the weapon unique?"
"Well, it basically pulls a character template that fits your taste from another random anime you enjoyed and alters them a bit, maybe throwing in some other abilities, and they are naturally born in that world as a demon weapon, and you would be bound to meet them. You could also be able to perfectly wield them with training, though you wouldn't be able to use a second demon weapon other than them at the same time unless you had a flawless connection, which would enhance their strength greatly, but that's extremely rare, and not everyone can be death the Kid."
"Huh, that's understandable. Well I also really like option 1, but I think I might already have a unique soul from going through the process of getting here. Can you tell me if that's true?"
"Hmm, give me a sec."
I sit still, patiently waiting for his result, as I have an idea I'd like to try, which would leave me with the choice between box 1 and box 2
"Well, it looks like you have an abnormal soul that probably hasn't been seen in the soul eater world before, or it's at least extremely rare. You see, your soul went through a unique process that has given it an abnormal amount of control as well as a significant amount of density with a strong pull I assume this is from your time of getting to my door."
I look at him, excited but confused, and ask, "so what does that mean exactly?"
"Well, imagine it like your soul having a gravitational field and a strong won at that because of its high density. Normally this would just make your soul much more resistant to attacks and great energy expenditure, but with its control, you have a sort of command over that gravitational field, allowing abilities that one would normally not have."
"Oh dang, that sounds sick, so what should I call it?"
"Well, normally I'd call it a dense soul or a control soul, but with your unique mix, I think it best to call it a psycho soul."
"Damn, then I guess box 1 is off the table because I imagine you'd just swap my soul out or alter it altogether, and I might not get something as good as what I already have."
"That is true, so have you come to a decision?"
"Yes, I have, and thanks for answering my questions."
He waves me off "It's no biggie."
I walk up to the boxes and select box 2, and the man gives a nod to my choice. Then I walk to box 3 and smirk and select it twice quickly. The man then quirks his eyes at me, surprised.
"You said I could pick three times, not that I could only select a box once and if I know my taste correctly then I'm probably gonna get a hot woman so of course I'd double down on that."
The man snickers at my answer. "Heh, I gotta say I love when people think out of the box. It makes this a whole lot less boring. No offense, I understand this is a big event for you, but for me this is Tuesday, but you made this a special Tuesday, so I'll reward you for it and try to make sure the weapons you get turn out good."
"Thanks, I really appreciate it. to be honest, I was nervous since I remember a lot of stories where the ROBS screw over the protagonist."
"Eh, we usually only do that if the person's an asshole or if they were a piece of shit in there previous life; otherwise we're pretty chill though there are some who I'd describe as a stuck up asshole."
" well either way I appreciate it so can I-"
Trrding Trrding I am cut off by the sound of a phone and see the man sigh
"Hold that thought I gotta take this when ever these fucks call me it's always to test some stupid shit"
He picks up the phone and walks out of the room after an hour he comes back with an irritated look on his face and sits down
"My managers want me to send you to a altered test version of that world cause apparently one of the higher ups had notifications set to see if someone picked soul eater so she could try out a world she made with a duplicate of it and now they want me to tell you about it but don't worry I'm not some sellout and I won't force you into it they just want me to tell you about it and the added benefits"
Initially hearing this I got a little nervous but after his reassurance and hearing the word benefits I decide to hear him out
"So basically she saw that there were monsters, witches and kinshins born from madness in the world and decided to add devils born from fear or hate for example think chainsaw man hell she took a bunch of ideas from that anime and apparently that's all I'm allowed to tell you about that specifically but I am allowed to say that she scaled the power of Devils to match the world and that she also added dungeons similar two the world solo leveling that produce unique monsters that she wants to test which she also scaled to the world"
"Alright now what are benefits"
"Well for one she said she'll empower your weapons giving them even more potential as well as bless any future reincarnations you may have and bind fully your partners souls to yours"
"Damn I'm not gonna lie that sounds like a pretty sweet deal I'll take it"
The man smiles at me "thanks for humoring her you might have just got me promoted"
The man then gives me a small wave. "Well, enjoy your life. I'll give you the classic orphan with some inheritance package as well as a gift if I get the promotion. Hell, I'll even throw in a little hint to find your bound weapons in your last name."
I then suddenly wake up. In a bed that's not one I recognize, 'Huh, pretty chill guy.'
I first get up from my bed and look for a mirror and see one in the corner, which I walk up to, and I see a young, dark-skinned boy with short Black hair and eyes that have blue corneas and red pupils, and I'd guess I'm around thirteen to fourteen. 'Well, it's a good start since I assume with the superior body I picked, I should grow out into a dreamboat.'
I step away from the mirror and look for some form of identification and find a red and blue wallet. 'Huh, the kid really went all in on the red and blue theme, I wonder why.' I then pull out my ID. I'm younger than I thought since apparently I'm 12, about to be 13, but I'll just attribute that to my physical ability, and I guess that would make me near the same age as most of the main characters at the beginning of the series.
I walk over to my desk and see a book with the title A Little Gift for That Promotion You Got Me. Have fun. I then open up the book and it starts glowing different colors, and I hear a voice.
"Drawing random sword style"
"Drawing random martial style"
"beginner atomic sword style gained from atomic samurai"
"Beginner renewal taekwondo gained from Mori Jin"
'Holy shit, the amount of stuff you can get for being a decent person is surprising. I can only imagine how screwed I'd be if I were a jerk.'
"Now for the nam-" my face freezes, then a giant smile grows on my face when I read Laff Lakill, which must mean my two weapons are from the series kill la Kill, an anime close to my heart as it holds two of my first childhood crushes, and knowing that the rob said he hooked me up, I can only get my hopes up.
As I'm filled with energy, my body suddenly feels tired, and I stumble back onto my bed. 'I'm so tired. This must be a byproduct of the whole Isekai process or something. Anyway, once I wake up, I'm exploring this whole town. Hell, I have two before I go to DWMA. I fall down and fall asleep.
