When Alan Walton looked at the New York Times newspaper with the information of 28 September 1989, he couldn't help but sigh.
It was stated that the Walton family had just won the competition against the electronics giant Sony and bought Columbia Pictures for 3.7 billion.
As a transmigrator, he felt for the first time that he had a major impact on history.
That's right, Alan Walton is a transmigrator.
In his last life, he was just a normal guy who did not have to worry about eating thanks to his family.
He was also a video editor with millions of followers on YouTube. He was known for his videos like "Wanda Maximoff - Unholy," "Eric Lensherr - Magneto," or "Anime Mix [AMV] Whatever It Takes."
In the good times, he was married, living the life of his dreams, but unfortunately, his wife died due to the coronavirus. He was very sad about this.
This matter made him plunge into the virtual visual world that could help him escape reality.
Thanks to the money he made with his videos and also the money that he received from his family, he didn't have to worry financially.
In the first place, he wasn't someone who was attracted by material things. After looking at what he could do with his money, he realized a very critical fact.
For him, money may not mean much, but for others, just $100 can save their lives, and $1000 can save a whole family.
In the first place, he was also gentle by nature. He started donating to those he truly judged in need, like orphanages, but also hospitals.
Unfortunately, all these things couldn't change one fact: he was depressed. This ultimately led to his death.
Alan's POV (MC)
Today, I'm having a weird dream. I saw my arms seem to have become mist, a bit like Smoker in One Piece.
Also, the place is really weird. At first glance, it feels like it's white but also not white, like how I imagined nothingness but in white. Thinking it was a dream, he said, "Hello, is there someone here?"
"Oh my child, little soul, you are in my place, a place reserved for special people who are dead." After the mysterious voice finished speaking, an image of how depression led to his death, and the orphanage mourning for him, was shown in a kind of holographic form.
Strangely enough, he wasn't sad. In fact, he had tried to take his life many times, but there seemed to be something that made him change his mind every time.
After some minutes thinking about how his death might affect some people and digesting the information, he decided to ask a question although he had a little idea about the answer.
He asked respectfully, "Can I know who you are?"
The mysterious voice, whom he couldn't tell whether it was a woman or a man, replied, "I am the All-Father, also known as God, like my human children like to call me."
Although he had a little idea about the answer, it's shocking enough to find out you are talking to God. His whole body trembled a little, and he asked, "What's going to happen to me?"
God replied, "You're going to be transmigrated to a parallel world, in 1970, but don't worry, you will be transmigrated with your whole memory."
After hearing the answer, he was genuinely surprised because his mind was thinking about heaven and hell. He was human after all. He then asked, "That's all?"
The voice said, "Due to your good deeds of helping those in need, you will be granted the opportunity to choose about which parallel world you would be reborn into, plus the opportunity to choose a talent or a system that you want."
The voice continued, "After your request, I will make it more reasonable to avoid irresponsible mistakes like you being greedy."
"You are granted some time to think about your choice."
Hearing God's voice, he began to think about his life, his family, and more importantly, his dead wife, then what he liked: movies, anime, and music.
Just like that, time passed. He sorted out all his thoughts and said, "God, no, All-Father, are you still here?" while scratching his head.
The voice that had been silent for a long time said, "I am hearing you, my child."
Alan nodded and said, "First of all, thank you for your care during my life and after my death. I have always believed in God although it's somehow different from what I thought."
"For my wish, I want to be reincarnated in a world where movies, music, cartoons, and related industries are completely different from my world but still on the same level."
"As it was a source of pleasure for me, it would mean I would have all the time to enjoy the entertainment in another world."
"For my talent or system, I just want something that can help me transport the entertainment of my world to the parallel world. It would be a very fun thing to try."
When he finished stating his wish, he saw a white light enveloping him. Then he heard the voice of God saying, "Okay, my child, you will go to a world where there's different entertainment like movies from your world."
"But"
"There will still be the same people of your world, and the difference between your world and this world will begin when you are 18 years old."
"Also, I will not give you a system, but I will give you an Artificial Intelligence that only you can see, which is connected to something similar to Google of your world but more developed and detailed."
Alan directly disappeared after God finished speaking.
When he opened his eyes, Alan didn't look for anything other than his arms. They looked exactly like those of a child.
He began thinking about what God said, plus the change of this body. He obviously transmigrated.
He began looking at the memory of this body, and it only took him one hour to sort out everything.
He was transmigrated into the body of a 4-year-old child that God specially created for him.
It was the body of an orphan born in 1970. Even though he was curious about the A.I that God mentioned, he still left the bed because this body habitually was one of the earliest to leave the bed. It's already weird that someone didn't come looking for him, but he didn't dare to test his luck.
The day passed just like this. When it was time to sleep, he closed his eyes and then began searching about his A.I.
After about an hour, he was again surprised because it was an almost perfect A.I. It contained anything in his world.
For example, he searched for the audition of Kate Winslet in Titanic.
He saw a video with all the processes, from her calling, sending a postcard, and other things to James Cameron.
It was at this time that he understood that the system had all the correct information about what happened in his original world, but it's more detailed.
