I opened my eyes and saw a guy with pretty long beard saying I was the nine hundred billionth to die and got a chance for reincarnation.
"Can I continue my retirement peacefully?"

"I'm your administrator in this sector of the universe, but I'll apologize if you can't continue your retirement peacefully, and for why you are here, you are the nine hundred billionth to die and got a chance to reincarnate." the administrator said pausing a bit before continuing. "You have a chance to reincarnate in world of your choosing, you can mix world if want a little bit of adventure."
"So, Can I go back to where I came from?" I said trying my choices and thinking I'm tired of adventure or just plainly rejecting it.
"No, but you will have a certain amount of wishes depending on your achievement in your past life. You know how it goes, you do bad that would be a minus, you do good that would be a plus, certain amount of achievement will get you points or merit you can use to improve your next life." the administrator spoke calmly. "Don't reject this opportunity, some people are dying to try and experience another life, some will get a chance but without their memories, some will get their memories but without the advantage to turn this points to improve their next life."
He showed me the book where a long list, some pluses and some minus and I took note of some of it:
*Overcome - 5 points
*Soldier - 3 points
*Trainer - 3 points
*Doctor - 7 points
*Greed - -10 points
*Sadist - -5 points
"This is just some of the points you'll get, but to sum it all you have 30 points total. It's better if you just accept or you will lose all of these points, I'll tell you this, some people will go even the negatives."
'It's much better to just accept this deal, memories and points will take me in the long run' I start debating where to go or how to spend this points with I cringe at the -10 from Greed, did I really get that greedy?
"I didn't read much literature in my life so just send me to place where you believe my expertise will bloom." I said thinking why didn't I read more stories, fictions and the like.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Okay, you will be sent mainly to the Marvel Universe with some Harry Potter Universe in it. If you're okay with it we can proceed."
Thinking for a bit and all the time I listen for those kids in the orphanage saying a purple guy will end the life of half of the universe with a snap, "I'm okay with it, kinda familiar with the Marvel with all the hype it got."
"A little advice from me as what I have observed from you, first spend points in youthful vigor to revitalize your spirit, you can set a date like the peak of your age and a warning that you will start as an infant."
I thought about it and acting as a 100 year old man in a baby's body is not a little disturbing, "Agreed, I will spend it in 2 points of youthful vigor, 8 points in memory, 10 points go to talent, 10 in luck."
For all the things I have gone through, talent and luck will take you a long way. Skills and techniques can be acquired.
He chuckled at my choices and thinking of those people that would go for system, it's a nice change so I will ramp up the talent and luck with 20 more points.
"So are you ready?"
"Yes please"
"You will get coherent thought between the age of 5 and 8. A baby's brain will not handle an adult minds"
"Okay, I would take it slow and easy in my next life, thank you!" and suddenly Darkness.
"Easy? Hah! I should go tell death that his envoy would probably get busy."

All I remember was talking and now? I was running.
Running from a half foot tall lizard with razor sharp teeth!
And me? I want my retirement back, this is not the easy and slow life I was expecting.
Running full speed and noticed there was a tree, I took a stone and threw it at the lizard's nose making it flinch before hiding behind a tree and wait for it to pass by…
(Flashback)
He woke up in a cover of fur, and look around and but noticed no one was here and suddenly there was a torrent of image unknown to me.
I was left behind, why? I was different. The leader of the group don't like me because I was different from the group and most of all.
Willing the stone to come near me and it came shooting to my hand and crushed it.
'Got powers now? And where am I? From the memories, we are in a forest with lack of technology' I noticed a spear near the fur cover and took it, look outside the cave and saw a humongous trees. Does the Amazon have redwood trees? I move close and inspect the tree, it's not a redwood.
I decided to climb and see if I can find a hint where am I but I notice a presence near me.
When I look at it, I thought GOD MADE A MISTAKE! And bolted the other way.
(Present)
When the lizard was near my hiding spot, I readied my spear and stab it in the eye.
It hiss painfully and tried to bite my arm but I move quickly getting while also pulling the spear and cussed for not stabbing deeper.
It tried to plow through me with it's big head and I scrambled to dodge out of its way and noticed some tree branch on a tree above it.
I tried to pull the tree branch like the way I did to the stone and crushed it from above.
When I successfully pulled the tree branch, I send it directly through its head, crushing its brain.
Taking deep breaths, it's much harder to pull that branch. Going near the lizard, before a sabertooth tiger jumping at me.
My eyes widened before sending my spear flying to pierce its mouth.
"This is not funny if what I was thinking is correct!" I said while heavily panting.
