2 Meeting Rai

After I don't know how long, I manage to wake up with a painful groan. "What happened? I thought I was stab but I feel like I was forcefully pulled by some massive force."

"That would be my doing" ???

Not expecting anyone to reply, I was surprised so I quickly try to stand up and defend myself. Except I can't feel my arms or legs. In fact, I can't feel any part of my body at all. This made me feel more uneasy than I already am. Checking my surroundings, I found that I can still move my 'head'. There seem to be in an endless expanse of white all around.

Nothing finding anyone around, I nervously ask "Who's there?"

"Huh? Oh right, I forgot you can't see me right now. Just a moment" ???

Hearing the voice again, this time behind me. I quickly turn around just in time to see a bright flash of blue and white light making me close my 'eyes' on reflex. Opening my 'eyes' again, I can see a middle age man who seems to be in his late 30 standing there.

"Who are you?" I subconsciously asked

"I'm many things, GOD, ROB, or even Devil depending if you are enemy or not, but you may call me Rai." Rai

His voice seems to have a calming effect to it as I can feel myself... relaxing? "Where am I?"

"You are in the void between worlds." Rai

Again, I seem to feel calmer as he talks. I should be freaking out not knowing what's going on but instead, I just feel normal. "How did I get here? The last thing I remember is…" I thought back to what happened. "Right. I died didn't I?"

"Yes, you did. That's also why you can't feel your body by the way. Being dead, you don't have one." Rai

"WHAT?!" I quickly look down and around me. Not being able to find anything, I start to freak out again before another wave of calmness appears and… well, calm me down.

"Before you asked, you are just a soul right now so you can't really 'see' in the traditional sense. That's why you should only 'see' white all around you. You can 'see' and 'hear' me because I'm transmitting my image and voice directly into your 'mind'." Rai

"I assume you are also calming me down too? Thank you for that"

"No problem. Now, you should have more question so ask away." Rai

"What happened to Kaine, did he manage to survive?"

"You don't have to worry about that" Rai said then he waves his hand in a circle. His hand left an outline behind and as he completes it, the circle shines brightly before showing a picture of the two kidnappers being taken into a police car and Kaine standing beside one of the orphanage caretakers.

"As you can see, Kaine has been saved and the kidnappers have been captured. Thanks to you, they were able to find the car and hideout of the kidnapper before anything happened." Rai

"Is that so... Then how did I end up in the void? I thought I was supposed to go to an afterlife. There is an afterlife right?"

"Yes, there's an afterlife. For this world, there is a heaven and hell or you can choose to give up your memory and reincarnate. As for how you end up here, I pull you here." Rai

"Eh? Well, that explains why I felt like I was pulled. But what does a God want with me?"

"Hahaha, you see, being all-powerful get boring sometimes. So I pull you here to give you a second chance at life in another world with your memory intact." Rai

"And if I refuse?"

"I'll just put you back and you continue on how you are supposed to and you forget this ever happen." Rai

"Is there a catch to this? It seems too good to be true."

"At least you're a little smart. No there isn't, I'm just bored and sending someone to another world to see what going to happen will give me some entertainment. If you refuse, I'll just pick another person and ask until someone agrees." Rai

"I'm not the first?"

"No, there were three before you. They were old guys that just wanted to rest so they all decline. That's why I pick someone young this time. So what's your answer?" Rai

"There isn't really a need to think about this. Yes, I agree!" I said excitedly.

"Great, as the first person I'll be sending to another world, I'll let you have 3 wishes to help you along." Rai smile

"Before that, what kind of world will I be sent to?"

"It's a world you know well, you know that world as One Piece." Rai

"One Piece? Can't you send me to a different world? I don't want to go to a world where it's mostly water. Not to mention the fact that the only way to get a cool superpower is to get rid of your ability to swim." I complain

"I can change it to another world, but you'll have to use up one wish for it." Rai

"WHAT?! Why?"

"Because I already set everything up, I just have to send you there. If you go want to go somewhere else, I'll have to do it again making the previous one useless." Rai replies calmly but I can tell he's a little annoy.

"Hahaha… ya." I said scratching the back of my head. 'Using one wish to be reborn in a world I want doesn't seem that bad. Beside most people won't even get the chance to do this and I can go to my favorite world.'

"Alright I'm ready to make my wish"

"Good. Before you start, the wish has to be within reason or I won't grant them at all. So no wishing to be Omnipotent like me or something similar." Rai

"I don't want to become too powerful anyway. It'll be boring that way. Anyway, my 1st wish is to be reborn on Universe 7 Earth in Dragon Ball."

"Sigh, now my setup will go to waste... Granted, continue on." Rai

"My second wish is to have the traits of the top 3 races with the most potential for combat."

"Huh?" Rai smile widely "Well, this one I can easily do."

Feeling unease from the smile, I asked, "Why are you smiling like that?"

Rai just laugh at that. "Haha, don't worry about it, I just remember something fun." Rai smile again

Right, as if that doesn't sound specious at all. "Right… My 3rd wish is a system that will help me survive and become as strong as possible."

"Done. Now off you go." Rai said, then he snapped his finger.

"Wait I still..." was all I get to say before the world turns black again.
