(I didn't try hard on the introduction because it's not very important, so you can just skip everything before "POV ALEX". But if you are wondering how he died, or you are experiencing sadistic pleasure reading how another hero dies, you can read.)
Alex was a very ordinary person, he did not stand out in anything. He was 20 years old, but he had no job, no relatives, no girlfriend, or even, it would seem, a future. He liked to watch anime, movies and TV series, read short stories, ranobe and fan fiction. He also liked to run at night in the park to his favorite music. Thanks to this, despite his mostly sedentary lifestyle, he was not fat, although he was not a jock either. In general, his could be called a sports version of the hikikomori.
One night, he once again decided to go for a run in the park to the music. When he finished running, he decided to go to the store, which was located across the street from the park. Crossing the road because of the loud music, he did not notice how a car was rushing at him at full speed. The driver of the car saw him and tried to slow down, at the same time he signaled our hero to get out of the way. As a result, he lost control and the car skidded, and it swerved to the right, exactly where our main character managed to run away.
The car at full speed drove the hood into Alex, after which he was blown several meters forward. Before his death, Alex experienced great pain, because he did not die instantly. He died only after three minutes of hellish pain, without waiting for an ambulance
-------------------------------------Pov Alex-----------------------------------------------
The first thing I felt after death was calm and peaceful. There was no pain, desires, panic, etc. Only the calmness in which you dissolve. But then I felt that something was pulling me. Wondering what was going on, I looked around.
I was not in the dark as before, but in a small room. The walls in it were light white in color. Inside the room there was one roulette, just like in a casino only without a table, me and some kind of creature that seemed to be a person consisting of space.
The creature: "Since you have considered everything here, I will explain to you what is happening here and why you are here, so please do not interrupt me during my explanation. And so let's start from the beginning, with the presentation, I am one of the messengers of the gods, you can call me Raiz. You don't have to tell me your name, I already know it. I'm here to hold an award ceremony. And so, as you probably already managed to understand, you died. However, you were lucky, and you won the main prize in the lottery arranged in the world of the dead by the gods. Specifically, in the lottery in which you won, the main prize was the chance to be reborn in a random world with saved memories and with three random abilities. The world, as well as abilities, will be randomly selected in roulette. With the introduction, you can say that you are finished now you can ask me your questions."
Despite the fact that I was amazed, confused and confused, I did not panic. More precisely, not so I was not able to fully experience all my emotions, as if they were suppressed when they reached a certain value. Probably, this was done specifically to calm people like me so that they would not cause trouble, and just not infuriate the messengers. However, at the moment it was even a plus, because it helped to think more rationally. After a little thought, I still decided to ask the questions that interest me.
Alex: "Is there a threshold or limit on the abilities that I can acquire, or on the world in which I will be reborn? Will there be other transmigrants in the world in which I will be reborn? Will I have to complete a mission or any other task after rebirth?"
Raiz: "I will answer you in the order of the questions you ask. There are no special restrictions on the world, you can be reborn in the ordinary world as your own or in the world of works from your universe. You can even be reborn in the world of the dead if you get it. As for abilities, there are no such abilities in roulette as omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, manipulation of reality, time, space, souls, etc.on a multi-universal scale. There is also in roulette no absolute: immortality, invulnerability, impalpability, etc.but not because they are not included, but because they do not exist. Also, the abilities that you will acquire can change depending on the world that you will fall out. For example, if you are reborn in the magical world with the ability to become a bear, then you will need magical energy to use it. It is also worth considering that the abilities in roulette are safe for the owner. That is, if the original ability could somehow harm the owner, then the abilities in roulette are devoid of these disadvantages. You don't have to worry about other immigrants, even if one of them gets the same world as you, then you will simply find yourself in parallel worlds. After your rebirth, you are free to live as you please, and do what you want. No missions or requests were given to you. You just won and that's it."
Alex: "Okay, I don't have any questions yet."
Raiz: "Great, in that case, let's go to the roulette table and see what kind of world you will get."
We came to the roulette table.
Raiz: "To use it, you need to spin it, and then throw this ball. Each sector on the wheel is a world, and the world in each sector changes periodically. However, the worlds in different sectors change with different chances. For example, in some sectors, the chance of falling out of a world based on anime is greater than the chance of falling out of any other world in this sector. The world will be selected when the ball falls into the sector and no longer moves, and with this the wheel stops. Before the wheel stops, the worlds even under the stopped ball will change. Do you understand everything?"
Alex: "Yes, I understand everything."
Raiz: "Great, hold the ball. You can start turning the wheel."
He handed me the usual ball. Looking at the roulette wheel, I saw a lot of names of worlds, ranging from ordinary worlds in one of which I lived, ending with worlds of different works. Moreover, there were, as well as the original worlds from the works and fan fiction on them. A little worried, I squeezed the ball. Gathering my courage, I began. Asking all the gods I know that I have come across a not too dangerous world, I turned the wheel. After throwing the ball at him, I began to peer into the world into which he would fall. Here the ball stopped on the sector on which it was written "Warhammer 40,000", a second and the inscription changes, now it says "Prey". During the time that the wheel continued to spin, the sector changed about ten worlds, 8 of which were based on games in which I would not survive for a long time without superhuman abilities. And now the wheel has stopped, and I look at the fallen world with some hope and doom. The sector was marked "Monsterverse/ Pacific Rim". Cursing my luck, I could only hope for good abilities. Without them, I will either live hoping that the city in which I live will not be destroyed, or I will live in some village remote from large settlements and volcanoes. While I was thinking
Raiz waved his hand and the sectors on the roulette changed, now there was not the name of the world, but the name of abilities. There were both useful and powerful abilities, for example, manipulation of elements, atmokinesis, regeneration, gravity control, etc., and useless ones, for example, a pleasant smell, fast-growing hair, long fingers, changing the color of the iris, etc.
Raiz: "Since the world is chosen, it's time to choose an ability. The rules are the same. By the way, here you can throw both one ball and all three at once. Nothing will change from this anyway. Here are your three balls. After you get your ability, I will explain how it will work in the chosen world and what will be its difference, as well as how it will interact with your other abilities. By the way, if this is an ability that changes your appearance, then you can customize it."
Nodding, I took three balls. After a little thought, I decided to throw them in turn. Hoping for a good ability, I threw the first ball. He stopped at the sector with the name "energy shot". The sector managed to change its name a couple of times before the wheel stopped. Most of the abilities in this sector were replaced by those related to energy. As a result, I got the ability to "Generate physical energy". Not fully understanding the essence of this ability, I looked at Raiz and waited for his explanation.
Raiz: "You're lucky. Thanks to this ability, you will be able to generate energy that can replace your stamina. It can help provide the body with the energy you need, so that you will no longer need food, water, sleep and air. Also, with its help, you can accelerate the natural regeneration of the body, as well as extend your longevity. Due to the fact that this is not a world with internal energy, you will not be able to produce such energies as qi, ki, qigong, etc. It is very easy to develop this ability, but for a very long time. To develop it, you need to spend energy, thereby gradually increasing the amount of its natural generation."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Although this ability does not make me stronger, it makes me more resilient. With anticipation, I spun the roulette wheel and threw the second ball. The ball stopped at a sector with transformation abilities. Until the circle stopped on the sector, such abilities as transformation into a squirrel, transformation into a dragon, transformation into a human, etc. appeared. Finally, when the circle stopped on the sector, my second ability appeared. It was "Titan transformation".
Raiz: "This is also a good ability. Thanks to it, you will be able to turn into a titan from "Attack on Titans". You will also acquire all the abilities of intelligent titans, except for the founder titan. Also, due to the combination of your first ability with this one, your titan's regeneration rate and its limit will increase, and it will also be able to act both day and night. Because of the world, you will be able to transform into a titan from 2 to 110 meters in size. Also, because of the world, all physical abilities (without training and the abilities of the other intelligent titans) will be the same as the rest of the Kaiju."
I breathed a sigh of relief, in the fallen world, this is a good ability. Excited, I decided to immediately use my last ball. After spinning the circle and throwing the ball, I waited. When the wheel stopped, I looked at the name of my already 3 abilities. It was called very simply, "Haki". Already understanding what this ability is, I looked at Raiz.
Raiz: "Your third ability, as you guessed, comes from the world of One Piece. With its help, you will be able to strengthen your body, making it more durable and strong. You will also be able to predict the actions of the surrounding creatures, and suppress their will. It can be strengthened by training. You can use this ability in the form of a titan, and because of your first ability, you will spend not your will, but your physical energy. The world does not affect this ability in any way. And since we have finished with the abilities, you can already be sent to the chosen world. If you have any questions, it's better to ask them now."
Alex: "Yes, I have questions. How can I use and develop my abilities? And at what time will I move?"
Raiz: "You will understand how to use them instinctively when you are transported. As for the development, the information will be in your head as soon as you are transported to the fallen world. The time will be determined randomly, but you will definitely be transported after the formation of the planet, but before the initial events of the monsterverse. Any other questions?"
Alex: "No, I have no questions, thank you for the explanation. "
Raiz:" When you pass the portal, you will be able to customize the appearance of your titan and your human body. After you finish, you can go to the new world."
A black portal appeared in front of me. I nodded to Raiz and stepped into it. Everything was black inside, except for the character settings window. Having adjusted the appearance of my body and the body of a titan, I decided to finish. A moment and I lose consciousness.
