....
Just a short while ago, I was minding my own business sitting in a Starbucks drinking Coffee while writing a college essay, and the next I was dodging trucks flying at me.
I am the average college student, just trying to stay awake and work on my next project. I am not exactly an athlete but I'm not out of shape because I occasionally do martial arts. All in all I could be called slightly above average, in every which way. I was slightly above average in everything while having a normal monotonous college life.
My name was Mason Laste. Not the most notable name. I have a pretty normal life, albeit boring. The only real thing that brings me joy is going to my dorm and watching some anime, or going to do martial arts if I'm not exhausted.
Currently I was minding my own business and just grabbed a freshly brewed coffee. Sitting down I pulled out my laptop and began writing an essay that was due the next day.
While writing my essay I was sitting down at a window seat in the Starbucks. Suddenly I saw a truck flying towards me. At first I just stared at it and it finally dawned on me that I had to move. Quickly jumping out of the way I watched at the truck flew through the window and conveniently not hit anyone.
For some reason I gained the urge to look at where the truck came from.
Standing up while wiping shards of glass from my clothes I looked at where the truck came from. I walked out of the dilapidated building completely ignoring everyone else who was getting back up and checking on each other.
Standing outside of the building I walked towards the sidewalk in front of the store until I heard a loud honking noise. Turning to look towards my side my eyes opened widely and I thought 'What the hell! Why is there another truck!'
Just in the nick of time I dodged and roughly hit a lamp post. Standing back up I turned around on where the truck was supposed to be and saw that I went tore through a couple lampposts before stopping.
'I better get out of here, I don't want to try my odds against another truck' I thought as I quickly strapped my bag that was in my hands around my shoulders. Quickly I began to jog away from the scene.
Jogging away I soon entered a wide open street that led towards my dorm. Slowing my jog to a quick walking pace I felt a shiver go up my spine. Turning around all I could think was 'What the hell!' as 3 more trucks came rushing down the street.
Soon enough it became a game of me dodging truck after truck while trying to survive. After me dodging most trucks it seemed that I pissed off whatever divine force that was causing the trucks to try and kill me.
Hearing honking above me I looked up as I saw more trucks, but this time they were falling towards me. Looking for any way to dodge I soon found trucks rushing towards me at every angle.
Disbelievingly I accepted my fate while glaring at the trucks and yelled a final "Damn you God!"
Watching as the trucks closed in my last seconds I thought 'This sucks, guess I wont be going back today...'
*Crunch* Hearing a loud crunching noise while feeling immense pain for a single second, everything went black and all pain vanished.
Waiting for awhile I soon started to regain my sense of feeling again, I opened my eyes and only saw darkness. Laughing bitterly I said "Ha so this is the afterlife?"
For awhile I just thought about my life and how I ended up floating in the sea of darkness. Soon enough I lost my sense of time due to being in the darkness. How long I floated there I couldn't tell, until suddenly a small green light appeared in front of me.
I stared as the green light soon got brighter and morphed into a person. This person had no definable features except for a creepy grin on his face. If I had to describe him he would be Truth from Full Metal Alchemist. Soon that grin changed into a laugh that echoed through the darkness.
"Hahahah! Its amazing that you survived the 1st and 2nd wave of trucks!" The persons giant smile soon fell into a frown and he said. "Too bad you couldn't survive the 3rd wave of flying trucks..."
Hearing it's words I became enraged and shouted "That was you!? What did I do to deserve dying via truck!?"
The figure lost all expression and stared at me. Feeling immense fear suddenly, I lost all semblance of rage and started shaking.
In a loud distorted voice the being said "Don't you dare yell at me boy. This is my first and last warning."
Nodding towards the being while shaking in fear I soon saw his blank features return to a grin. The atmosphere lightened up and he said "Well let me clear some questions that you might have to save time."
Once more I nodded and listened as he said "My name is Danctrum, the Trickster God. And no I'm not Loki or any other God you would know of."
"Second of all, I put you through something similar to a test that is used to reincarnated people. What you experienced has killed almost every other Reincarnator on the 1st truck. Surprisingly you didn't only dodge the 1st truck but you made it through two waves of them."
Thinking about the game of dodge the truck I thought 'Wait other people have been reincarnated?'
The being somehow reading my mind nodded and said "Yes other's have went through what you have, and you are the 2nd person to make it to the 3rd wave of trucks! Even if you died immediately you still made it."
"Honestly its quite an amusing game to watch, but now I'm getting sidetracked." The being shook his head while smiling and said "I chose you randomly through a list of people who wanted to be reincarnated, your just lucky."
I stared at the being and thought 'Wow this is really happening, I honestly used to be very into Isekai anime but fell out of it due to college.'
Looking back towards the being I listened as it mumbled something about running out of time. Quickly the being looked back towards me and said "Well lets make this quick, the deal is I chose you to go through the Multiverse to be entertainment for myself. Unlike other Reincarnators who can only go to one world I will let you travel the Multiverse! I won't give you wishes because the last couple people ruined entirely for me, so instead you will being rolling this wheel for wishes!"
*Poof* Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared and a wheel with a multitude of things that were difficult to read.
The being grinned and said "First off is your body/soul. I will spin this and it will land on a random character from any fictional universe. You will merge with their soul and gain their looks, powers, experiences, and some personality traits."
I stared in disbelief and said "W-wait what do you mean by that? I will merge my soul with some fictional character? And my looks depend entirely on them? What if they are a girl or someone extremely ugly? What if they went through some horrendous torture and it made them crazy!?"
The being soon had a smile so big that it went across his face and he said "That's the thing, you better hope you are lucky."
Loosing its grin it added on "Also you are part of the none fictional multiverse, where its just always another version of your earth. Instead to go to the fictional multiverse we need to merge your soul with one from the fictional multiverse to trick the system into thinking you belong there."
The being then put his hand on the wheel and spun it. Having no time to ask more questions I thought 'Oh please Fate, if I have any luck leftover, please don't let me get someone crazy or someone extremely ugly.'
Watching as the wheel slowed down I saw it land on a fictional character from a show I used to watch, Ruby Rose from RWBY. In disdain I said "Wait this is a girl!" I watched as Danctrum began laughing hysterically.
"Hahahaha! It seems Fate really did listen towards your wish. Well congratulations you wont have to worry about being ugly or crazy!" I soon started to think in my mind 'Well God is right, at least its not someone ugly or crazy. And she has a decent ability.'
Danctrum started to stop his laughing and instead grinned and said "Alright next up is your singular wish. Usually I wouldn't give this out because of previous Reincarnators being greedy or messing up something like trying to become Supreme Gods, but because you made it so far in the Truck-kun trial and entertained me I am doing this."
In a second the giant wheel soon became even larger and I said out loud "Wait I thought I get to have a wish, why is it randomized again?"
Danctrum turned and looked at me. After a second he said "Well this wheel is a wheel of all wishes you could come up with, and I simply don't have the time to wait for you to come up with an overpowered wish." Nodding to himself he added on "Also I want this to be entertaining for me, not for you."
Staring in disbelief I watched as he once more spun the wheel. Watching the wheel spin I painstakingly watched as it slowed down on a wish to be a rock, just barely it missed it and landed on a much better wish.
Danctrum frowned a little bit but it disappeared in a second. Danctrum quickly congratulated me and said "Congratulations, it seems Fate must love you because you just got the ability to take abilities or things from whatever world you travel to."
'What does that mean' I thought.
Danctrum reading my mind frowned and said "Huh I thought you were smart, let me dumb it down some more. Pretty much after traveling to a fictional world you would have to live in it and gain powers through various methods, but with this wish you could gain abilities or things from the world. Be it a character being really good at shooting guns, or towards becoming a God."
Nodding to himself he put his hand under his chin and said "But that seems a little too overpowered, so I am going to change it up a little bit."
Hearing what he said I got nervous and asked "Wait how would you change it?"
Danctrum stared at me and said "Relax, don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm just making this wish more balanced."
He waited for myself to relax again and then said. "Pretty much I'm going to make powers based on points. You get these points by participating in the world you are sent to, be it from killing the main character and being a villain, to being a hero and making a name for yourself. Whatever you do to change the story of the world it will give you points."
Doing some weird hand movements Danctrum added on "I am going to make this wish into a system point shop, because its easier to categorize. You will be given missions by the system, and get points for completing them. You don't have to do the missions and can do things your own way to get points. After getting a certain amount of points you can spend it on a thing from the world you are in using this point system."
I nodded towards Danctrum and said "Thank you for explaining it or revising it, it makes more sense but I'm still a little let down on needing points."
Looking at me Danctrum said "Your welcome, and know what, I will add a feature where you can travel back and forth between worlds you have been to already, albeit at a cost."
Suddenly a crash is felt and the dark void shook uncontrollably. Danctrum looked up and then said "Alright time is almost up, it seems the others are trying to ruin our fun. Last thing is a quick spin of the wheel for what world you get to travel to first."
Feeling the void shake I thought 'What does he mean others? Is he not allowed to do this?'
Another wheel appeared and he spun it quickly due to the time constraint. I watched as the wheel spin and spin until it finally landed on the world of Overwatch.
Lazily I thought 'Well this will be a nice beginner world for me to get used to travel. Also I won't have to do much to gain points because there is no real story line.'
A much stronger and more violent crash happened and the void started to tear apart at the seems. Danctrum glared at the cracks and said "Welp cya kid, its been fun. I hope to enjoy watching you struggle through the multiverse. Oh yeah one more thing."
Danctrum looked at me while a monstrous smile formed on his face and said "This will hurt a lottttt."
Exaggerating the lot part I asked "What do you mean by tha-AHHH!!!" Suddenly a pain like no other hit me. It felt like my very soul was being ripped apart and changed while my brain was gaining memories foreign to myself.
Gritting my teeth I said "W-what, is-s... Hap-pening to me!"
What no one except Danctrum could see was that Mason's soul was changing into that of Ruby Rose. Changing from a pale yellow color to that of a deep crimson red. The soul soon gave off the effect of rose petals flying. Slowly Ruby Roses classic weapon Crescent Rose formed in Mason's soul.
Danctrum squinted to look into Mason's soul. Grinning he said "What? You thought it would be painless to transform your soul into one of a different multiverse? Hahhaha!"
I glared at Danctrum as the world began to fade. The last words I heard was "Good luck kid! Be sure to entertain me well!" and then the shattering of glass as the void was destroyed.
*With Danctrum*
Watching as the void shattered Danctrum saw a multitude of different Gods and Goddesses appear around himself.
The God with the largest Holy Aura shouted "Danctrum! What did you do! You know full well that Reincarnation is banned due to the Reincarnator going against the Fate of a multitude of worlds! Not only that but if they are given enough time they can go against their Fate and become a God!"
Staring at the all the Gods and Goddesses glaring at himself, Danctrum smiled in a demonic way and hysterically laughed.
Danctrum shouted in a loud voice while laughing and said "Hahahaha! Don't worry about it! Soon enough you will see what I did… You will all see…"
And with that Danctrum vanished in a puff of smoke as his words echoed throughout the remnants of the void.
