How to tell a story in past tense effectively?

-COMPLETE- It was a freak accident. Someone ran the light at an intersection and before I knew it... my world turned black. But I didn't die then. Instead, I was forced to lament and regret over all of my failures. Lament about how this so-called genius was lower than dirt even at the very end. And that should have been it. After my consciousness faded, I should have disappeared. But I woke up. A different world, another life. A fresh start. This time, for sure...!

Power, Power, Power. Everyone wants it. No one wants to lose it. It corrupts, It performs miracles. It causes untold devastation. Power, the aim of all madmen. The thing that allows them to enable their impetus. I want power, and with where I'm going, I'll need it to ensure my survival, after all there's much of it up for the taking.

A story about a guy who gets 3 wishes and reincarnates in Legend of Korra as an earthbender prodigy. I always wanted to write fanfiction and the idea for this story kept popping up in my head so here we are. My main goal right now is to upload a chapter at least once a week and that becomes a lot harder when English isn't my first language. Besides that please be gentle with me as actually posting this took a lot of courage for me. I own nothing besides the OC.

Ryuuji Taiga, an otaku who failed his interview many times, found himself standing in a weird house. The owner of the house was a wish granter and tells him that he can grant what his deepest desires. With this wish, he was reincarnated as a baby and realized that he took over Rudeus Greyrat's body. Together with 5 specific anime inheritances, he will satisfy himself and live to his own accord. DISCLAIMER: Mushoku Tensei are not mine and was owned by Rifujin no Magonote-sensei. All characters that was mentioned in this story are not mine. I also recommend to read the manga or the novel since the original story are really good and promising.

Synopsis.

WARNING my stories generally lack spirit i write for fun and to free my head from this particular plot. Expect inconsistency bullshit power ups and messed up logic and also don't expect good grammar.
