death is kinda chill
(MC pov)
'hello there, u probably want to know how I am talking to a god right now, fine let's go back, it all started when I was little'
(flashback age 5)
(flashback end)
'Nah just kidding, I'll just tell you a little about myself and how I died' I thought while talking to myself in my head
'I'm just a regular everyday normal guy, went to school cuz I have to, learned how to drive cuz I have to, and even learned how to fight cuz I have to.' I reminisced
'fighting is not REALLY a requirement but it makes me feel more in control of my life, I don't like being defenseless against robbers or worse, I just like the feeling of confidence of going down the alleyways unarmed and feel like I can take on anything less than a gun' I explained to myself
'it all lead down to the moment I found one of my schoolmates surrounded by adults, I didn't feel the need to feel afraid I took on adults all the time, sometimes even fought someone with a knife, so naturally, I went to stop them'
(flashback)
I went through one of the dark alleys and found my buddy Eric surrounded by adults, don't get me wrong I'm 16 but I won't consider myself an adult until I graduate so I started walking towards the thugs and snatched Eric's shoulder and pulled him out of their half-circle, they were three and had piercings on their faces all of them looked around 25
"huh?, Leo?" my buddy Eric asked
"eh? who is this kid Eric? you said you came alone" the one in the middle with black hair exclaimed
the other two thugs looked angry
"what? no, Leo is here by Coincidence I swear!" Eric told- almost begged them
"We had a deal Eric" the leader with black hair said calmly "now do you have the money or not?" he asked way too calm like he did this a thousand times before
I stayed quiet not knowing what is it all about, I just looked between them and tried to piece together what's going on
"I need more time stan!, I swear I would have it next month!!" Eric pleaded with tears in his eyes
"Like I said before, we had a deal Eric and you know what we do to liars?" the leader said with extreme calm that even scared me
at this point, I was ready to fight, but I guess I overestimated what 11 years of martial arts can do...
*BANG*
my ears were ringing, I now noticed that the leader has a smoking gun in hand, I looked to where it shot and noticed Eric... on the floor... dead.
'he- he shot him in the head?, but, but it was so fast... I couldn't even react' I thought and now focused on my friend
we weren't the best friends but we met up and drank together, he even slept in my house one time with the boys, my eyes began to water before I could think further the leader talked
"Sorry kid, no witneses" he said with an absolute calm that TERRIFIED ME
I turned to look at him and noticed the gun is pointed at my head, before I can even move-
*BAN-*
I didn't hear the full sound of the shot.
(flashback end)
Now I am in front of an entity I would call ROB
"Are you done monologing to yourself" he looked like a tired-looking business man
"uh, yes sorry about that, its a habit of mine to talk to myself inside my head..." I answered sheepishly
"thats... kinda weird" the ROB said "anyway you probably already guessed by the setting what's about to happen" he continued
we are currently in a black void and I can't move, I only see him, I don't know how I can talk though, this is an isekai isn't it?
"yes" said ROB "I am a bit different tho, unlike my associates I don't give my blessing to reincarnators, and you can only get one wish with limits."
"...can u set the bar for the limits?" wouldn't want to wish for something OP and have it nerfed, if he sets the bar now then I can find loopholes
"...the limit is that it shouldn't break the logic of the world and/or can grow indefinitely, the world is dragon ball by the way" ROB explained
cant grow... that's gonna be a problem, as much as I hate system stories they are a golden ticket to godhood, I guess they are out then, I did have an idea though...
"how about this?" I started "I want eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, I want Obito's Kamui's on my right eye and infinite Izanagi on my left" I said absolutely sure that this is the best wish, when wishing for the Mangekyo you can ask for two abilities and even get SHARINGAN it's as OP wishes come no need for trauma and becoming emo
(guys I swear he will not be OP)
"...interesting, I like your wish Leo" ROB said while smirking"but! I cant give you the power to change reality... how about this" ROB smirked even wider which is still not that much "I will change your infinite Izanagi to a similar working one called Gekinagi, it will give you the ability to return to life like with the magic of the super dragon balls, but you can only use it once every 30 days" ROB explained with interest in his eyes
"isn't it just a really nerfed version of Izanagi?" I asked with irritation, and then the realization hit me like a truck isekai style " did you just say... 'super' dragon balls?" I asked with wonder
"that's right" ROB said "even if Zeno himself erased you, you can come back" ROB elaborated
"... I accept your suggestion" I accepted, that means even Hakai won't get rid of me
if I truly wanted to never feel that weak and helpless like how I died, I would need all the cheats I can get, especially in dragon ball, if I cannot even protect myself how can I protect my friends
"granted. I can already tell it is going to be worth a watch" ROB said "oh and by the way I'm not a ROB, I'm what people would call... 'death'" he smirked tiredly "good luck Leo, you'll need it"
and everything became black... or maybe he just vanished from the void Idk, oh wait I can feel my body again.
let's open my eyes, shall we?
