Currently sitting in front of the computer was a young teen boy who was so enamored with his favorite game, he failed to hear the sirens blasting in the distance, warning about a tsunami coming.
EH! EH! EH!*
Glaring at his screen, the teen was currently pissed at his luck. He had made three different worlds, and all of them had crimson biomes. He had only just realized that he could customize his world generation.
"Oh, for f*ck's sake! How long has this been a thing! Goddamn it, I'm supposed to be a veteran at this game and I didn't know I could change it… hah… well, I guess this makes things easier."
Unfortunately, he would never get to play his next game as the tsunami had reached record heights and overtook his apartment. Yet somehow, through sheer f*cking will, he managed to survive the initial hit but was drowning inside his room.
Flailing around in the water as he tried to find a pocket of air in the collapsed building, he was soon overcome with incredible exhaustion and died just as his world booted up...
"I just… wanted to play… on a world… with… Corruption…" his soul, exiting its mortal shell, began to be whisked off as he gargled his final words.
As he began to fly higher into the night sky, it couldn't help but relive its entire life, '…damn I didn't do much… eh, time for the great sleep! Too bad I can't play Terraria one more time… eh, but that's life I guess, a bunch of ups and downs… okay but why is this taking so long!?' the soul cried out in frustration as it was still slowly rising into space at a snail's pace until it finally crossed through the atmosphere and rocketed outwards at light speed, completely terrifying him.
"WHAT THE FUUUUUCKKKK!" he cried out as he began to fly so fast that the stars and planets around him blurred into a light tunnel until he came to an abrupt stop in what looked like a giant library.
"Heugh! Oh god – I feel like I'm gonna hurl!" Fortunately for the hardwood flooring, the soul was currently incapable of vomiting due to its lack of a body. "Haaa-haa-ha… I think I'm good now… now, where the hell am I?" he whispered while looking around, seeing the impossibly high shelves filled to the brim with books.
"Is this my heaven? A goddamn library!? Where's the games? The food? Don't get me wrong, I like reading but not anywhere near this much!" Exasperated at his luck, he wanders around the seemingly infinite library, reading several books here and there that intrigued him. Though the books had seemingly no way of organization, chaotically strewn about in the unending library. Continuing its endless walk, the soul pauses as it comes across a lone tome sitting on a pedestal.
Creeping closer to the book, sitting upright was a black leather book with a pixelated video game tree… it looked kind of like the Terraria Icon…
'What is this?' As he touched the book, a screen appeared before him, hundreds of lines flying by in a moment until after a few seconds the screen turned into a light blue color and a message appeared.
{Do you accept the gift?}
Pausing for a moment, he instinctively tapped yes…
{Preparing to grant ‘Terraria’ to nameless soul
10%...
33%...
75%...
100%... upload complete. Do not panic if momentary blackout occurs}
Instantly the soul was out like a light as the system began to upload itself into him. Forcing it to rapidly expand in order to graft the spirit of the 'system' onto the soul.
After what felt like days in a blank space in his mind, the soul woke up, greeted by a rather plain looking deep blue screen.
Staring owlishly at the screen, the soul couldn't help but scream in joy, "I have been given access to one of my favorite games as a power... f*ck YEA!!”
{Before reincarnation can be granted, a name, a world, and your new body must be picked}
{A 1d-99999999999999999, will be rolled to determine your new world}
{Rolling………………Found!}
{Highschool DxD}
{Where even the mightiest of perverts can become strong enough to face literal Gods}
"f*ck…….. Can I get a redo?”
{No}
Sitting speechless for a moment as he processed what the die had landed on until he started shouting, "WHAT THE f*ck DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL DXD!"
Taking a few ‘breaths’ (technically isn’t breathing as he is just a soul) he calms himself, and shakes off his current worries.
“f*ck it, I have access to the entire world of Terraria… Hey weird screen dude, does my Terraria world include mods?” Asking the floating panel in front of him, the soul’s eye would have a twinkle if they existed.
{I am simply the System Manager}
{And it can…. If that is what the user wants?}
{Please provide a list of mods, I will supplement the package after you’ve chosen your name and new body}
Hohohohohoh, this. This might just work out.
With mods like Calamity, sure I’ll probably have my ass beat, but I can get such powerful sh*t I’ll be unkillable… now, I’ve just gotta remember what mods I have on my PC…
“Actually, can you just bring up the list of all the mods I had on my PC in my last life?”
{Certainly….. here they are}
A large list of mods appeared on the screen in front of the soul, causing it to grow a figurative smile on its ‘face’.
“I’ll take these ones here.” Gesturing at some of the choices he used most often during playthroughs.
Calamity, Thorium, The Stars Above, Better Calamity Zenith, Magic Storage, Recipe Browser, Boss Checklist, No Pylon Restrictions, Item Magnet Plus, Quality of Terraria, Fargo's Mutant Mod, Alchemist NPC, Angler Shop, Bulk Extractor, More Accessory Slots, Auto Reforge, Calamity Music, Veinminer, Craftable Accessories, Amulet of Many Minions, Summoner UI, Celeryman's More Pets, Colored Calamity Relics, Starter Bags.
{Your request has been granted. Decide your name and design your new body}
Thank God! Now… why can’t I remember my old name! This would be so much easier if I could just use that one! Haaah… no point crying over spilled milk, it's not like I can remember anything about my personal life, just my love of games and manga… manga… I know a great name! Caelus! From One Piece! The dude was really smart, wasn’t he? Though, he did have a sad backstory.
"I'll go with Caelus!" the soul cried out, as the screen in front of it updated.
Now I just need a last name… how about Froste? Caelus Froste… sounds cool! “And my last name will be Froste!”
The screen updated once again but was quickly replaced by a character creation screen, with thousands of sliders upon it…
“This is going to take a while…” Cracking its metaphorical neck, the soul got to work on his new body. Keeping the Froste name in mind as it gave itself pale blue hair with darker streaks giving it a waterfall-like look, doing the same for his eyes but making them a dark reflective blue.
Giving himself a taller and fit body wasn’t a crime, the soul supposed, and if his new dick was larger than his last one, well, who could blame him.
Crafting his new body, playing around with proportions as one would while crafting an MMO avatar, he doesn’t think about the attention he might receive with such… supernatural features.
Huh, I don’t see an age slider on this…. “How old will I be in this new world? Like am I starting over as a baby, 'cause I really don’t want that… Ideally, I’d like to be high school age if that’s alright?” I really don’t want to be younger than I currently am… was?
{That is certainly doable, as it is one of the more requested options of the reincarnated}
{Once you arrive, you’ll find yourself in a small park. I have taken it upon myself to give you a small apartment you can find nearby, you will find some basic records for yourself there}
Nodding, the soul finishes its body creation and grins. "Alright, I'm done! Now, one last question! What options do I have for my race?"
{As this is the world of DxD, you can choose from any race within that world}
"Hmm... maybe a human with some slight supernatural blood? Something like a draconic bloodline? If I’m going to survive, I’ll need to be enhanced somehow.”
{Hmm… I suppose I can allow that…}
{Now, your ability will manifest using your thoughts, though each world you create will turn into a ‘ring’ of sorts, each one will appear on your finger as you create it, showing the levels of ‘corruption’ as they would normally on the home screen.}
{Your ‘rings’ can be used by others if they wear them, meaning your allies and your enemies can venture into your worlds… Be careful of who see’s you use them.}
{You’ll also be able to have up to 3 different worlds at once. Now, are you ready to descend? Remember, the greater your Will, the longer you’re likely to survive…}
‘That’s…. annoying, but fair I suppose’ pausing in thought for a moment, the soul ‘nodded’ once more, “thank you, I think I’m ready now… or at least as ready as I can be to enter such a… broken? World… hah… I’m really hoping I don’t have to deal with the whole mess of DxD, but I doubt you’ll be that kind to me… Also, before you whisk me away, how will the NPCs work? You said I’ll have three worlds to venture through, will there really be three of each one?”
{No, The NPCs will be limited to one world. Namely, the first one you create, the other two won’t contain a single townsfolk, so if you plan on creating a filled world with characters, make it your first one}
{Heh… Now, this is gonna knock you out again, but this time when you awaken, it’ll be on Earth}
{I wish you luck, little one, and I hope to not see you again for quite a long time…}
