"Fuck! Blasted government, have I been kidnapped?"
Hanzaki started cursing the moment he woke up. Nothing had been going well ever since he arrived in America.
First, he had to deal with fat bitches thinking of themselves as queens and asking for princess treatment and then he had to tip every little shop he entered.
Bitch you're bringing a plate, you don't deserve a 30% tip.
Hanzaki would rather throw money in the chef's face than pay those bastard waiters. Never in his Japanese life had he suffered like this.
"So where exactly am I?"
He looked around and noticed he was in a forest clearing. The air was damp and the weather was unusually humid.
For a moment, Hanzaki stopped joking around.
"I don't feel any injuries and my last memory was of..." His face darkened, "So the F.B.I. was really after me? Could it be they have predicted my actions using their most advanced AI deemed me a threat that needed to be eliminated?"
"But... What the fuck is going on?" Hanzaki scrunched his brows in disgust at the smell wafting from his body. His clothes were torn and his body had shrunk.
Ding!
Just then a faint mechanical sound echoed in his head.
[System Activated!]
[Ultra Domination Boss Alpha System Activated!]
"..."
[...]
[Multiverse System Activated]
"I'll ignore that. Even by my standards that was cringe." Hanzaki muttered before freezing.
"Fuck I transmigrated? Or is it Isekai? Am I Chinese or Japanese?" He quickly looked into his pants before breaking into a wide grin. He didn't know his current nationality but it definitely wasn't either.
He clasped his hands together in ecstasy—cough—prayer.
Double the joy double the celebration.
[...]
"Oh yes, you..." For a moment Hanzaki wasn't sure what to say.
Sure, his brain had been fried due to the explosion but he still held rationality.
"So what's exactly going on?"
[Ding!]
[Welcome to the Cosmos of Illusion, Mr. Hanzaki. Would you like a brief explanation of your circumstances?]
"No."
[Splendid! Mr. Hanzaki you have been chosen as the first participant of the Cosmos of Illusion. The World Tree's branches have absorbed the faith energy of Earth establishing many new branches which have solidified recently. Once these solidified branches fully integrate into the real world chaos will ensue. The consciousness of the Universe does not wish for this to happen hence we have a mission for you to undertake. Are you willing?]
"I'm a free American! I'll do whatever I want! Though I don't mind listening if you intend to help me. What's the penalty for failing a task?"
[Failure of the mission will result in a penalty being issued. A participant can only be given one penalty. The second penalty will result in death. If the participant decides to abstain from the mission the Cosmos of Illusion will abandon Mr. Hanzaki and find a different participant. Should Mr. Hanzaki die then you will remain dead.]
"Sounds pretty free..." Hanzaki's lips twitched, "What is my mission?"
[Extermination.]
"...???" Hanzaki was baffled, "Why? Is there a reason?"
[New branches need to be cleansed before they become habitable. Should the cleansing be delayed or cancelled the inhabitants of the new branches will infiltrate the main branch, which is Earth. If that were to happen you can imagine the consequences Mr. Hanzaki.]
"Hey, hey isn't that just trouble for the Government!?" Hanzaki's eyes shone with joy.
[...]
[Wouldn't it be more fun if Mr. Hanzaki got strong and taught the Government a lesson himself for revenge?]
Hanzaki's eyes shone even brighter.
"So you're not an automated bot huh? Is someone controlling you? Am I some kind of puppet on a show? You think I'm dumb or something?" Hanzaki paused, "Well whatever, maybe this is some long coma that feels way more real than it should."
"You've forced me into the body of a young man without any talent or status. How am I supposed to exterminate anyone? Even the timeline is skewed, instead of the beginning of the plot, I'm starting in Shippuden with Naruto gone on his training trip with Jiraiya."
[That is of no worry Mr. Hanzaki, we have our full trust in you. There's a reason why out of everyone in the Cosmos you were selected first. As for helping you, we can give you three tools to assist you—
1. Infinite Chakra- Should Mr. Hanzaki decide to abstain from the mission this he can use this ability to dominate the world. Given your intelligence, I'm sure there will be no problems.
2. Inhabitants Template System- The millions of inhabitants from the branches below have already been registered by the World Consciousness. Acquiring templates from certain inhabitants will allow you to acquire all their abilities and skills. Should you decide to change your template you'll be allowed to retain one ability or skill from the template. Mr. Hanzaki will be allowed three selections per branch to assist him.
3. Rebirth- Should Mr. Hanzaki be penalised twice the Rebirth function will reverse time till just after completing the previous mission.]
"I'll choose the template system."
Hanzaki dropped back on the ground, idly staring at the sky. It wasn't that he was completely unfazed by whatever the fuck was happening, but rather that he had long come to accept life as it is.
If there was one thing he was sure of, then that was the fact that panic was useless.
He did not care for death, for life is fragile.
Parents died in an accident and sister was missing for the past four years. What more could surprise someone like him?
Since life is fragile, it should be enjoyed.
Thus Hanzaki would travel, travel till he could.
[Thank you for the trust, Mr. Hanzaki.]
"That's fine, can I spin the wheel now?"
[As you wish.]
[Template Selection has begun!]
[Loading Template... 1%... 18%... 37%... 58%... 85%... 100%]
[Template loaded!]
___________________
A/N— What template should I give him? I thought long and hard but I'm useless. I want something that's overpowered but not instantly invincible, I still want to write a few fight scenes. It would be a bit bummer if he just waved his hand and everyone died. Please give suggestions.
Also, what should he look like? He's a teenager with black hair and black eyes (uncreative I know).
Lastly, powerstones please, pretty please. I'll do extra chapters even though this writing stuff is a little tough (nice rhyme?)
