"What happened? Where am I?"
A young man with long flowing white hair sat up from the floor, and as he looked around, all that greeted him was a vast scene of multicolored celestial bodies, cascading like a flowing river of shining stars that twinkle in the night sky.
[Ding! Congratulations, Lucky Contestant #3,414,652 on being chosen for transmigration! Your pitiful life has granted you an entry into the Grand Rebirth Roulette Wheel, allowing you to spin the roulette and test your luck. Would you like to proceed?]
A resounding voice with a robotic and systematic female tone had filled the young man's ears, and upon registering the situation he had found himself in, the young man couldn't help but break out into a wild and unruly laughter.
The young man was named James Braddie, he had once been considered a very popular and handsome youth who attracted the attention of countless college girls, but once he found out he had lung cancer, his life began to spiral into pain and depression. His body began to fail him, his hair turned white from stress, and his girlfriend of 3 years had started visiting him less and less in the hospital until one day she appeared followed by a man James was quite familiar with, his best friend Nate whom he had grown up with, and their arrival wasn't for a visit, but a final visit to expose a new relationship and end an old one. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, James only hoped that death would take him sooner rather than later, but life seemed to enjoy toying with him, as he continued to live in that pain and misery for another 4 years before his body finally gave up the fight. And over those 4 years of suffering, James could only pass the time by watching anime and movies, something that brought the only semblance of joy to his dreaded and gloomy life.
"Ha- Hahaha! So it's true! Something like transmigration and reincarnation really does exist!"
[Ding! Please choose. Would you like to proceed to the roulette wheel?]
Upon being reminded of his reward, James didn't hesitate a second longer as he shouted for the wheel to appear so he could begin his lucky spin.
"Please show me the roulette wheel!!"
[Ding! Choice confirmed! Proceeding to the roulette wheel…]
As the sound of the voice began to fade, the scene shifted as a mountainous wheel with an almost endless number of reward options appeared before James, and as he tried to process what he was seeing, he felt as if his head was going to explode, trying to read all those tiny words and endless reward names.
[Ding! Please proceed to spin the wheel by issuing the command 'Spin' verbally]
"Spin! Spin! Spin!!!"
Upon receiving the method to start the roulette, James shouted with all the hopes and prayers of an otaku for 16 generations, and calling upon the luck of his entire existence, alongside the sacrifice the pleasures of both his ex girlfriend and ex bestfriend's lovelife's, so that they may never find satisfaction in sex ever again. And upon the completion of this ritualistic spin, James watched as thousands upon thousands of reward boxes were passed, and the speed of the wheel only seemed to increase as the surrounding void began to kick up a nasty wind pressure, almost sending James flying back, but a strange force quickly held him in place as not to allow harm to befall him. As time passed and the seconds ticked on, James watched as the wheel began to slow to a crawl before slowly coming to a stop to a position that appeared to be between options, and as James began to worry about how this result would affect his rewards, a new announcement resounded in the astral space.
[Ding! Congratulations, to the Lucky Contestant #3,414,652 for winning our 'Ultra Special Gift Pack' reward. Please, verbally relay the command 'Claim Reward' to receive rewards]
At first, James was worried he wouldn't receive anything, but when the resounding voice proclaimed he had won the ultimate reward, James felt that his luck was through the roof, as he quickly began to compose himself and claim his rewards to see exactly what he had won.
"Claim reward! I can't wait to see what I've won!"
[Ding! Reward distributed! Opening 'Ultra Special Gift Pack' now! 10%...30%... 70%... 90% 98% 99%... 100%! Ding! Congratulations for receiving the following…
1x System Creation Voucher
1x Random Bloodline Generation Voucher
1x World Teleportation Realm Gate
2x Divine Skill Voucher
All items will be delivered to a temporary storage space located on the palm of your left hand! (Note: temporary storage will disappear once all items are removed from storage, and items removed cannot be placed back in)]
When James listened to the beautiful sounds emanating from the surrounding void, he couldn't help but look down at his left palm where a glowing blue circle had appeared, and upon looking at the circle, James was inundated with how the storage works and how to retrieve the items from within. The first thing James thought to test was the bloodline voucher, and upon taking it out from the storage space and held it in hand, a pulling sensation that caused him to instinctively tear the voucher had overtaken his body, and as the voucher was torn, a flash of bright and translucent multicolored light had surrounded his body before funneling into each and every cell, terraforming his weak and drained body, revitalizing him with an unending flow of power that made him feel invincible.
[Ding! Congratulations for awakening the Omni-King's Bloodline! Your physical stats have been boosted to that of the Omni-King]
With the sound of the robotic voice informing him of his new abilities, James felt invigorated as he felt a bubbling excitement and began to test his newfound power, as his thoughts were immediately drawn to the most broken ability in all of Dragon Ball Super, the ability to erase any and everything. With a raise of his hand, James quickly tried to mobilize the unending and indomitable power flowing through his body into his raised hand as he called out with expecting anticipation.
"Erasure!..."
As he waited, nothing happened, not even a sign of energy utilization appeared from his body, but James didn't give up, he felt that it might take some time for him to figure out his power, so he began to experiment, but each time he shouted 'Erasure' nothing happened, causing his cheeks to burn with a red blush.
"Is there something wrong with me? Are the rewards broken? Or can I not use any power in this space?"
As James began contemplating excuses for himself to make him appear less foolish, the ever present synthetic voice sounded to clear up his ignorance.
[Please note, that all rewards are not faulty, rather the host of these rewards may be inept fools! The Bloodline reward only offers the physique of the bloodline, while all accompanying powers are learned externally! The Omni-King's Bloodline provides the bloodline host with a body capable of housing infinite power and destructive energy, that is all]
When James heard the clarification from the synthetic voice, he felt a surge of anger at being targeted as a fool, but upon learning that the bloodline only provides a foundation rather than the skills, he felt he now had an understanding of what he did wrong.
"I see, this bloodline keeps me from exploding due to the overwhelming energy needed to perform those special skills. Now I guess I need to learn them from Zeno himself… But wait! I also have two skill vouchers!!!"
As James began to sigh at the rollercoaster of emotions he was feeling, he then remembered he had other rewards awaiting his withdrawal, and quickly flipped his left hand to retrieve one of the skill vouchers. Upon taking it in hand and tearing it, a divine, angelic aura seemed to fill his very being, as his dry almost lifeless hair seemed to regain its vitality as a silver divine sheen seemed to coat each and every strand, while his eyes reflected a beautiful glowing purple color. His temperament seems to shift to become more aloof and enigmatic while each and every one of his movements became more relaxed and natural, seeming to blend with nature, free and unfettered.
"T-This is the Ultra Instinct?"
James felt that his body had undergone a serious shift, as his once rigid posture from years of pent up pain and stress had felt as if a mountainous weight had disappeared from his body, while each and every action taken felt seamless and instant, completely unbound by hesitation or thought.
"This wasn't the skill I wanted! Hais~ I guess I can only sacrifice my ex's happiness once more"
As James took out the remaining skill voucher, he began to pray once more, sacrificing the lifelong happiness and health of the two once closest people to him who had chosen to betray him, and with a tear of the voucher, another dazzling light filled the starlit void as the powers of creation and destruction, white and black, yin and yang, took the form of two imposing black and white eastern dragons that began to fight each other about the firmament before colliding into an infinite clashing struggle before falling back towards James who stood at the center of their clash, and upon entering his body, James felt as if he was about to explode, but the infinite power inside each and every one of his cells began to control and command all that explosive energy as two new skills engraved themselves into James' very being.
"I understand now… I was utilizing my power incorrectly earlier. While I could shift the power around my body, I still lacked the knowledge and experience on how to release it from my body, much less on how to use that released energy to cause universe ending damage"
James began to absorb all the ingrained knowledge like a sponge soaking up water, and after a few moments of thought, James raised his hand once more and with a sharp expression in his gaze, James called out in an emotionless tone while utilizing deep intent to mobilize the infinite power in his body to burst out with action as a bright white glow emanate from his palm.
"Erasure!"
James watched as the space in front of him fractured and shattered into an endless dark pocket before quickly being replaced and repaired by the enigmatic rules of this space.
"Haha! I did it! I was able to erase the space here, but it appears that it cost me quite a lot of power to erase such a small segment of space. Do I need to train my power to increase the erasure capabilities?"
As James thought about why his power seemed so weak compared to Zeno, the synthetic voice rang out once more, but this time with a warning.
[Ding! It is detected that the traverser's space is under attack! Please be warned, that any and all malicious intent directed toward the traverser's space and their attendants will be met with a warning, any further action will be met with a revocation of all power before elimination takes place… Note, you have been warned!]
When James heard the warning, his face paled, as he swore he wasn't actively trying to attack the traverser's space, only test his power, but when he thought back to his actions, it would be quite easy to misunderstand, as to utilize his abilities he needs to have a strong intent behind the attack, meaning he surely did intent to attack and erase part of the traverser's space, but he wasn't trying to provoke or maliciously destroy the place.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just wanted to test my abilities. I guess I should have waited, I won't do it again… Um, how do I get out of here?"
[Ding! It is detected that Lucky Contestant #3,414,652 has completed their reward selection and retrieval… Now randomizing world travel!... World travel generated!... Generated world is One Piece!... Sorting timeline… Timeline sorted!... Selected timeline is February 6th, 1522… World travel initiated in 3… 2… 1… Safe Travels!]
As James listened to the robotic tone, he was a bit surprised, as he was basically a shark being thrown into a pool of goldfish, no, it was more like he was a cosmic entity being thrown into a pool of goldfish, and being sent to such a small world was a bit of an overkill, but thinking about how he never survived to find out what the One Piece was, and why it made Gol D. Roger laugh, he thought it might be nice to see for himself, and possibly even make up for some regrets of the series.
"Well, this doesn't sound all that bad, I can save Ace and heal Whitebeard, possibly even kill a few celestial dragons, and if their arrogance is as bad as shown in the anime, I wouldn't mind riding the world of its self proclaimed 'gods' descendants, showing them who the real god is"
With that thought complete, James disappeared from the starry expanse in a bright flash, and when he reappeared, he began falling from the sky towards a massive expanse of blue ocean below.
"What the fuck!!!"
James was unprepared for the sudden drop, and just as he was about to hit the water, he began to mobilize his infinite energy to propel himself up into the air, preventing himself from getting soaked.
"Alright, now where am I?"
As James began searching his surroundings, he noticed an island not too far off, about 50 kilometers away, a distance James could cover in an instant if he so wished, but he thought it was best if he don new clothes to match the era, as walking around wearing a hospital gown that allows his bare ass to poke out the back didn't seem appropriate.
"How embarrassing! I never really thought about it until now, but my physical body is the exact one from the hospital, so my apparel is that of the hospital gown. Totally not fitting for my new role as a divine overseer (Self proclaimed)"
James began to use the energy within himself to create a new set of clothes, something imposing, yet practical. He now stood clad in a black imperial martial hanfu, the fabric dark and austere like a moonless night. Golden dragons wound across the robe in elaborate embroidery, their five claws spread wide in silent authority. The gold thread gleamed sharply against the black silk, each scale meticulously stitched as if proclaiming his dominion. The sleeves were wide but structured, the robe layered for battle rather than ceremony. At his waist rested a black silk belt clasped with a golden dragon seal, and with every step the embroidered beasts seemed to shift and coil, radiating the quiet majesty of an emperor.
