CHAPTER 2: My new life begins

As the three emojis face me, I begin to feel nervousness hit me like never before." David, I assume you have a little understanding as to why you are here," Grandpa Sage says to me as I focus on whatever he is about to say. "A few years back I and a few of my friends decided to investigate the reason why people from planets called Earth were unique. When I say unique I mean that no matter how many universes we have seen, they all always only have one world called Earth.

Each of these worlds named Earth has always looked the same no matter what universe we find them in. Yet the strangest thing we found out is that these worlds have no forms of higher energies or magical energies." Grandpa Sage says as a question mark appears above his head ." Even though we are incredibly powerful beings we cant ever step foot in any of these worlds unless special circumstances are met," this time Hero speaks. " We discovered that the people of these worlds had the special ability to see the fates of other beings in other worlds and universes.

But you humans only think it's your imagination and make movies, games, and stories about the visions you get" Hero says again but this time I have to ask a question." Wait, wait are you guys saying that those movies like the Avengers or anime shows I've watched are real somewhere out there," I ask, Hero looks at me and nods. "flop!" I fall on my butt, as I stare at them "Woooh!," that's all that comes out of my mouth as I am stunned beyond words.

" It's not that great," I hear Clarice's voice and she appears again, except this time the flames are gone, and four cartoonish galaxies float around her body." So as my friend was about to say. We made up an amazing plan to create an app where you humans could write down your stories. Thus Webnovel was created," Clarice says in a proud tone." Using the app as a link we have created a contract where when a user of the app clicks yes they will be sent to another world.

But the people who will receive this treatment have to be chosen by at least 3 of the founding members and they will sponsor the human's transmigration or reincarnation costs," Grandpa Sage speaks again." We 3 before you won against hundreds of others to get the right to pick the first human to experience the WRS and that's why you are here," Clarice says with clear pride on her face." Don't listen to her kid. After we won, she forced us to pick you 'cause she likes the way your soul looks and only the first participant can receive 3 wishes," Hero says as he turns into a sad emoji.

" I did not do any such thing hemp!" Clarice says as she blushes and turns around." So since you guys are going to send me to another world. Can you send me to the world of Naruto" I ask them hoping they will accept?" Sorry child but your destined world has already been decided" Grandpa sage says apologetically. Although I expected this reply I'm still disappointed." Now then young David the world you are about to be sent to, is one that you are very familiar with.

The last novel you read, yesterday, "Hero says to me. 'Wait does he mean Arcane Kings Online' I think to myself." Yes, David, you are right, It is the world of the novel AKO. Now then it's time for your 3 wishes" as I hear Clarice's voice, suddenly my body begins to float." David, make your wishes. But your wish will be limited by the laws of that world. So you cant wish to be a god or something like that." Clarice tells me. I take my time as I think of what I want. I already know my first wish. it's the last two that I'm stressing about.

After a few minutes, I say to them." For my first wish. I wish for my family to be sent with me," I tell them my first wish. Even though I have this opportunity to start a new life in another world. If my family is not there with me, it just won't feel right. The three of them look at me with smiles. The three emojis don't seem surprised by my wish. 'Oh yeah they can hear my thought' I think to myself with sadness, this is not a good feeling. I feel naked in front of them.

Suddenly a shinning ball of light appears in front of me." state your next wish child" Grandpa Sage's voice reaches me." My last wish. I want luck. but the luck I get must have the same value as that of my remaining two wishes" as I say this and a new ball of light that is larger than the last one appears in front of me." Good wishes David. Now then you only have one mission that you can not fail." Clarice says in a serious tone." Do not get killed. if you die due to any cause that is not natural or by the hands of another. Then that is it for you, there is no heaven, hell, or reincarnation after that. Your soul will just dissipate into the void. "as Clarice says these words a very familiar portal appears behind me.

Then the two balls of light in front of me rush into my body. Before I can react I feel a force push me backward. I try to tell them to wait but no sound leaves my mouth. As the portal swallows me I hear Clarice's voice and my vision turns black" Survive David and maybe we will meet someday"

-----3rd PERSON POV

As David was sucked into the portal. "Sigh!" the three emojis all let out sighs at the same time." Hahaha! finally, the show is about to begin" Hero says in excitement." I know right. This time we can finally watch how these humans from Earth become so strong even though they come from a world with no magic," Clarice also says in excitement." Yes, this will be most amusing I can't wait to see how he progresses hahaha," Grandpa Sage says with a laugh, but the emojis around him have gone silent.

Only the sound of heavy breathing can be heard. As he glances at the other two Grandpa Sage is shocked to say two angry emojis. Both of them have one hammer each. They both approach Grandpa Sage." how dare speak as if you are one of us, cheater" Clarice speaks, her voice cold as ice. "You have the guts to say such things when you are one of them. Those disgusting cheating humans from earth," Hero says in a tone of voice just as cold as Clarice. "Guys, we are all friends here let us not resort to violence for such a small....," as Grandpa Sage tries to defend himself he is cut off by Hero.

"Shhhhhh! quiet child. We are friends. But as your friends it is our responsibility to teach you manners so you do not make the same mistake in the future," Hero says with an evil smile on his face. Sweat begins to fall on Grandpa Sage's face. He opens his mouth wanting to say something, only for Clarice's cartoonish hand to grab his beard. " This beard will never make you look older in my eyes," Clarice says as she stares at Grandpa Sage with cold eyes and an evil smile.

"Seniors please have mercy, I know my wrongs" Grandpa Sage pleads for his life." Do not fear, the pain will be over before you know it" as Hero says this, the hammer in his and Clarice's hands grows in size. Grandpa Sage turns into a pale emoji. It was at this moment, he knew. He fucked up

-----PLANET ETHAN, CONTINENT F: BLACK STEEL COUNTRY

In South park city a young man can be seen sleeping soundly in his bedroom. "Ring, ring, ring!!" a morning alarm sounds off and a grunt comes from the boy on the bed. "Argh!" David stretches out his hand and grabs his phone from the table near the bed. Opening one eye he turns the alarm off and checks the time which reads 6:00 am. "Argh!" releasing another grunt he pushes himself up in one motion and now finds himself sitting on the edge of the bed. Still, in a daze, he glances around the room and sees Samuel sleeping in the bed on the other side of the room.

"When did we have another bed in the room," David asks out loud. As he regains his senses, everything that happened returns to him. But that is not the end of all the information he gets. "Argh!" this time it was I grunt of pain as he received the memory of the life he has lived in this world all 18-plus years. "Damn, so that's how they brought me with my family to this world" David says and a smile appears on his face. Those beings had simply transmigrated David's whole family but they kept the families fate intact so they would all still end up as a family.

David scans his room and says many anime posters and mangas. He smiles in satisfaction. On Earth, he never had enough money to buy mangas and anime posters. But here on Ethan, it is far easier to get all those things. Although non of the shows from Earth are on Ethan now he has a lot of new shows and stories to enjoy. Suddenly David's facial expression goes stiff and he raises his phone to see the date. The phone reads the date, 1st December 2022."Thump!" David collapses to his knees tears falling from his eyes.

On the other bed, Samuel wakes up due to the noise only to see his brother kneeling and crying at the same time." I'm In another world, but why is it still the same? Why do I have to go through this again" David cries out. " Yooh! bro what's wrong," Samuel asks. David lifts his head and stares at Samuel " the world is not fair. I...I...hate physics" David says in a pained tone. Samuel can only look at his brother with sympathy as he knows that today, David is heading into a losing battle." So this is how my new life begins" David says with sadness.

-----BACK IN THE BLACK SPACE

In this black space with countless balls of light, three floating emojis can be seen. Two of the had satisfied smiles on their faces. As for the last one, he had already turned into a skull emoji with a beard and his wizard hat is at his side in tatters. "Let's go watch our child live his life" Clarice says with a bright smile on her face.

" Let us. I don't want to miss a single second" Hero replies and both of them disappear without checking the state of Grandpa Sage." The heavens are not fair" Grandpa sage cries out in the infinite space. His voice filled with pain.

On this day two people cried out about the injustice of the universe.

-----PLANET ETHAN, CONTINENT D: WANG COUNTRY: ESTA CITY

Within a hospital, a young handsome man can be seen sleeping peacefully. his clear white skin, long black hair, and face all make him stand out even among other handsome men. The young man's eyes slowly open. He looks around the room in confusion. "How am I still alive? I should be dead" Shang Bai Fan says out loud.

The last thing he remembers was that he was betrayed by his best friend and died in the heavenly tribulation. Bai Fan sits up and looks around the room and sees a chair in the corner of the room with a woman sleeping on it. "Mother?" Bai Fan says out loud. He finally realizes the situation he is in." I'm back" Bai Fan says with clear shock in his voice.
