Im dead
How do i know?
Because im gazing at a glowing old man in a desktop while im in a white magical space... Also his desktop and chair are floating
Oh, im floating too, its seems that im really dead
"Hello?" My voice sounds in the white space, making the glowing old man look at me
"Hello there, now lets hurry as we dont have much time, lets see.... okay. Bob, Age 35, Recently fired, no family alive, never done anything impactfull on society, hobby is videogames and watching anime..."
The old man recounts my past... Man, hearing my entire life like that makes me feel like i didnt acomplish anything
"So, you are the definition of normal and died by... REALLY?! Another one?! fuck that truck"
Ah right, i died after getting hit by a truck... where, when and how the fuck did it appear? Im sure I looked both ways before crossing the street... and it was on a huge avenue! In the morning! With no other soul in sight!
"So... Whats is going to happen to me? Altough i wasnt a saint, i wasnt evil either, is there a neutral afterlife, or like, something better than hell?" After seeing a literal god, its not like i believe in hell and heaven... fuck it, i believe, i dont want to go to hell, have you seen the descriptions of hell in bible or any game and movie?
"Neither, you will be given a second chance on life... thanks to that truck. *One of these days im going to dismantle it, why the council doesnt do anything about it*" The last part i wasnt able to hear as he was mumbling, but the first part was great!
"Nice!"
"First thing, as this was our mistake, you can choose something as a gift to carry on the new world. As you have seen many animes and novels, lets phrase it as you can choose a system or power. Also you can change your basic information" The old man speaks while moving and writing on some files on the table
Even gods do paperwork i guess
"Anything? I mean, can i ask for, like, time travel powers?"
"Yeah sure, just tell and i will put it on the system, and it will calculate what scale of power it will gives you"
System? Really? Even gods use systems on these times? Where is the magic and mystic feeling of glowing with gold, reincarnating while an angel bleess you?
"Okay, first of all i want to change my name, i dont like Bob, its too normal! Also its makes me remember the past. My new name will be Rob!"
"Yeah sure, not changing much i see" The god just use one of his hands and touch something on the empty air that i cant see, which i asume is the "System". Woah, even touch floating system, the gods are very tech advanced
First step completed, i tought while gazing at him
"i dont have any other perefences more than being male"
"Noted" I saw him just pressing 2 time, the first one i guess was for Gender and the other... did he just randomize all of the other parameters of my new existence?
"Now just say what gift do you want, i have many other waiting, like this guy who died because... THAT TRUCK AGAIN?!" The old man snapped while shuffling through the documents.
I guess there was more people who died at that truck hands, im starting to wonder what the hell is that thing. Lets focus on getting the gift, its time to gamble on his impatiente
"For my gift, i want to be born with a power that matches my name. I dont care the world" I said, doing my best to stay calm
"Sure, okay, not the strangest one i heard" The old man tapped the air impatiently, as if pressing buttons only he could see.
Before i could say anything my vision goes dark. My form dissapears, leaving the old man alone
"Finally, now to the next one"
5000 years later, just after sending another one and before he can continue his job

"What? I just started my turn, its only my seven milenium here, i had escence for the next five million years of reincarnations!" The old man starts to search in the history of the system before he is forced to go back. He wants to see just what used so much escence

The old man, after seeing this file, remember accepting some nagging message of the system which just keeps alerting him, thinking it was some normal notification, it was 4999 years ago while trying to reincarnate some madman who wanted something called the friendship power
*Sigh*
"Im gonna get scolded and probably demoted, right?" Depressed and resigned to his fate, the old man dissapear, being forcefully transported
And far far away, in a completly diferent universe and multiverse, Rob wakes up
