3rd Pov
Looking at the ground below, Raj took a deep breath. One can see him at the edge of the building making his purpose clear.
Aged 47, Raj is tired of living... his life was perhaps just pathetic. His obese figure and ugly face only added to the despair etched on his face.
'Where did it go wrong?' Raj couldn't help but think of this question for the umpteenth time. It began when he has just graduated from college and finally got a job.
The pay was handsome, and the work hours weren't too long, after years of hard work he thought his life has finally turned for better.
Until he was accused of a crime he didn't do... rape.
He just visited a party given by their boss, his boss gave the party due to his engagement with a woman.
Until next day his fiancee was found dead... and he was at the crime scene, drunk.
He didn't remember a thing and last thing he recalled as getting passed out in the hotel due to bad alcohol tolerance.
After that? His hell began, whether being beaten by the people till nearly he was dead, and then the reports that the semen samples matched his DNA came out.
Even if he didn't remember anything, he believed in himself, so despite the entire country calling him a rapist, a demon, the people pleading for his death. He fought the case.
But he got no support from his family, his father disowned him, his sister slapped him despite his pleas.
They said they were disgusted by him, his father said, 'You cannot be my child' and his sister bluntly stated 'You are not worthy to be my brother... from now onwards never call me your sister'
All his relatives and friends distanced from him... Only his mother supported him.
The poor woman, she didn't have any money to speak of yet she was ready to sell her jewellery to help him even if a little.
Even when his father tried to persuade her and his sister called her a 'Madwoman'
If not for her, perhaps he would have become a misogynist.
Time passed, the case was dragged on until he was convicted of the crime that he didn't commit.
He stayed in prison for few years till he was released, when it was revealed that his boss whose fiancee was killed, actually had another fiancee raped and killed in the same fashion.
It was then found out that the man had a netorare fetish, and liked his woman being raped by others.
After he spilled the beans, his crimes, Raj was released once he was cleared out of his crimes.
But the damage was already done... His mother passed away after a few months he got imprisoned and apparently he wasn't aware of it until he returned.
His father tried to mend their broken relationship but after Raj found out that his sister apparently abandonment him... He left his place and him forever.
No one reached to him after he was declared innocent, except his father whose motives were selfish.
One might think his life got better? Nope! With Criminal records and tag of being a rapist, even if the truth said otherwise, he couldn't get any job... and had to do with low-paying labour work to survive.
He didn't marry, he didn't date. At some point he looked at every woman with suspicion not matter how kind she seemed, whether beautiful or ugly.
But his mother's face still gave him hope... unless he was discovered with Kidney failure.
Apparently eating food from roadside stalls to save money came back at him.
India was such a country that you can earn either 100 Dollars a month or 100k Dollars, unfortunately he fell into former.
Having no money for medical help despite recent developments in artificial organs... he decided to end his life rather die a slow painful death.
The best way? It is to fall from a high place, hanging himself will choke him slowly and seemed rather painful, same with drowning, he even feared poison.
An instant death like dying from a bullet or falling from high place seemed the better option. He choose latter.
He used his savings to enjoy life before he wanted to die, he brought snacks, cola, and tasty dishes for a week straight before running out of money.
Today is the day he dies, he has little to no savings left and doesn't want to spend rest of his life in pain, so he is committing suicide.
Raj stared at the ground below, his heartbeat becoming faster. His trembling and rough hands took out his purse from his pocket, from it he took out a photo and threw the purse away.
The photo was of his dead mother, tears started pouring down his eyes. He looked at the smog covered sky and shouted "Tell me... are you happy?!"
"I didn't wish for luxurious, or endless wealth. I didn't wish for the most beautiful wife... All I wished was to be happy"
"I believed in you! Other than my mother I believed in you... even when... when... I ended up poor... ended up nearly homeless... struggling day by day... I believed in you... I wanted to keep living for my mother...But you took even that reason from me!" he shouted hysterically.
By now some people down have started to notice his voice.
"Let me tell you... If by any chance... If I get a second chance... I will destroy this fucking world... Myself... so you better not reincarnate me!" he said before losing his balance and falling off the building.
His heart beat hastened, his mind became extremely clear... ultimately his body struck the ground splashing like a ballon.
His fat bursted and flesh came out of his body, blood poured down him.
Many people screamed.
It was the end of Raj... and birth of ???
...
'Huh? Where the fuck I am?' Raj thought opening his eyes to find himself floating in an unknown place.
He found himself floating above scorching magma, he panicked and looked around only to see lava as far as he could see, in the sky the entire cosmos was unraveled giving an silent beauty.
[Ding! The EX GACHA-SYSTEM HAS BEEN INITIALIZED]
[Master has 10 initial pulls that guarantee EX rank abilities related to his survival]
'I am not in hell?!' Raj screamed internally before slowly accepting it.
He was certainly an avid reader and watcher of Anime, even when he was reduced to poverty, he kept watching reading novels and seeing Anime.
As for the suspiciousness behind it?
He ignored it.
After leaving in hell for so many years... he stopped bothering about such things.
If a person is poor or starved... will he care whether the money he earns or the food he eats is dirty? Or has a far worse price behind it?
If he even gets a brief moment of glory and happiness, he would be happy.
That was current Raj's situation.
'Tell me the rules of the gacha' he asked.
[Note! Master will get 1 gacha chance per month. Total of 12 gacha chances each year.
The gacha pull can be random... from E rank items to EX rank items! That depends on your luck.
Usually gacha will yield things you want or require, though rank may vary or it might not be exact thing you might want or need.
As the first time pull, 10 chances are rewarded with a guaranteed EX rank pull! And 90% above B Rank pull!]
'I see... anyway where am I? Certainly not hell, otherwise I would have been deep in boiling oil, getting fried for my sins' Raj asked.
(A/N: In Hinduism people are given dozens of punishments for their sins, one of them is being cooked alive in oil. Since soul is immortal in hinduism, let's just sinners have a lot to experience. Since you can never get used to pain when your soul just fixes itself back, without any changes, neither good nor bad)
[Master is the Moon Type Multiverse, before the birth of Gaia]
The reply made him react, 'The fuck? Wait- This is kinda good, I have dozen of years to get stronger and leave a mark in history!'
He smirked and said 'Pull the gacha spins'
[Ding! Successfully pulled the 10 Gacha spins!
1) Superman's Kryptonian Body(Unshackled DCEU version)- EX RANK
2) Doomsday's Reactive Evolution(DCEU Version)- EX RANK
3) Asgardian All-Speak(Can speak in any language) - A+ RANK
4) Creation Quirk(My Hero Academia)- EX RANK
5) Holy-Demonic Attack Resistance(Tensura)- EX RANK
6) Augustus Featherine Aurora's pants(0-7th Expansion)- B Rank
7) Psychokinesis (One Punch Man)- Rank A+
8) Danger Sense (My Hero Academia)- Rank B
9) OD LAGUNA (Re: Zero)- Rank EX
10) 100 litres of Pepsi- Rank F-]
Looking at the Gacha pulls Raj almost became gobsmacked.
'Am I dreaming?' Raj asked himself, and why wouldn't he?
Till now his life has been shit, so getting EX Rank rewards such as these was a shock for him.
However a part of him feared that it was all a dream, or just a last ditch from his consciousness or worse... a coma.
The fact he could feel nothing, even the sense of touch was another thing that was making him question everything.
After pondering for a bit, he said 'System can you create a body for me?'
[Does Master wish to use these pulls?]
'Well use everything except 6,9 and 10', Raj instantly made a decision.
Next moment the lost feelings returned.
The Sense of touch, sense of smell, sense of hearing, sense of taste, sense of heat.
But unfortunately for him, he had no idea what he was about to experience next.
His now superhuman Kryptonian brain was filled with euphoria of regaining senses, however soon he started feeling hot and next moment he cried.
"Aghhhhhhhhhhh!" the cry was bone-wrenching, as Raj found himself to be burning alive in magma, he started melting slowly.
He did have kryptonian physique however he didn't have the accumulated strength of Superman.
It resulted him in a situation where while his durability superhumane by human standards, only provided pain and suffering to his current circumstances.
His flesh started melting off, his body floating on top of the dense lava.
The heat was unbearable.
In a few seconds he lost his voice, his nerves melted erasing the mind-breaking pain he was experiencing.
'I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die' he repeated in his mind as his consciousness faded, and his bones turned into ashes.
Silence.
For a few moments it was silence.
Then out of nothing bones started forming around Raj's invisible soul, his brain reformed, his muscles started returning, his tendons were forged anew.
He had returned.
He gasped for air, however it wasn't pleasant feeling of coolness, it was rather a smell he was not familiar with.
The putrid smell of air itself burning.
His body has adapted to the overwhelming level of heat.
Raj stood up with trembling limbs, his feet standing firm on top of dense lava.
He looked everywhere... It was hell.
The entire place was melting, and the sky?
It was full of glistering stars despite sun shining brightly, celestial bodies hovering in the distance.
"Fuck it! What was that!" Raj screamed hysterically, the pain he experienced was unlike anything.
If he was normal human he would have melted in seconds, but his Kryptonian physiology alongside Doomsday's adaption kept him alive.
He had nearly- no died and just resurrected like it was no big deal.
[Master it was meant to happen, the first gacha pull was so luxurious so you could survive, it aimed to give you power to survive in such a horrifying environment and you did got some good pulls]
"Damnit! Damnit! I died! Do you even under-" he stopped and then laughed.
"Didn't I wanted to die in the first place? The fact that I even got a second chance is blessing... not to mention the pain... It meant it wasn't a dream" Raj thought out loud.
The pain lasted for brief moment, and his current body had already adapted to thousands of degrees of temperature.
He looked above to see the sun shining brightly in the darkness.
During this period of time, Earth had a very weak atmosphere, so while it could propagate sound it couldn't stop sun's harmful rays.
But to Raj it was a blessing, he was getting unblocked amounts of solar energy each second, his body growing stronger and adapting at the same time.
It was like standing in middle of the space facing sun.
Raj didn't need to breath, his body had already adapted to survive without food, air or water.
He decided to do something... like taking a walk for example.
Aaand it was boring.
He walked for hours, looking at the earth and the sky... or even if you can call it with wonder.
But soon he got bored of it, his body while growing stronger and completely adapted to his environment wasn't at the level of superman yet.
In fact he could jump a dozens of meters when he tried, however since the entire place was molten lava, falling in it was like falling in a swamp.
So he decided to not jump like that lest he gets encased in lava for days.
Finally he decided to sit on a place, in fact he was noticed quite a long that he was naked.
But even Earth-chan wasn't born yet, so what is there to feel shameful about it?
"Anyway System while I can understand 100 litres of Pepsi... Which I sadly cannot drink otherwise it will just melt and vaporate, what the heck is Augustus Featherine's pants?!" Raj complained.
It wasn't because he was ungrateful or something, rather he wanted to just talk for fun and do a banter.
[Note! Master can get anything possible, whether living people, objects, abilities, superpowers, concepts, clothes, or even worlds like OD Laguna]
"Wait a minute?! You are saying that OD Laguna is literally an world?! Here I thought it was something like an entity or some ability, since I didn't understand it much... I decided not to use it" Raj said.
He knew that Od Laguna was the name of the Re Zero world, however he didn't thought... He would get the world itself.
He thought it was a Divine blessing, a being or something else, so he decided to not use it or summon it, until he is clear about it.
[Note! Od Laguna is a small self-sufficient Universe, with a single sun like star, a flat world with edges falling into void, a spherical moon orbiting the said flat world, and orbs of mana acting as stars. While it is inferior to Gaia and other planets, it has it's own pocket dimensions and is extremely advantageous to Master]
"What are the advantages? And how does it even work?" Subaru asked.
[The Od Laguna will designate you as the World Master, giving you Nigh-Omnipotence within the world, master can freely remodel it. He can make it to anything he desires however it will use the world's energy, though if master can supply it with his own energy he can even make it bigger and stronger.
If master can he can let it be just like a pocket dimension, destroying the current world in it. Master has two options, either he can shape it the way he wants, or let the current trajectory play. It will eventually turn into the world of re: zero and affect Earth slightly if master choose the second option. If Master wants he can also create several dimensions separating the flat world without affecting it]
Raj was amazed by it, becoming a god and creating his own multiverse was something he dreamed on.
It was Ultimate Sandbox!
He could literally create civilizations, watch them worship him and then ruin them when they commit horrifying acts or punish them simply because he wants to.
However he soon calmed down remembering where he was.
He was in Moon Type or better to be called Fate Multiverse or Nasuverse.
It didn't had the dangers at the level of Marvel or DC.
It didn't have a system where everyone can casually become multiversal beings by simply training a few hundred years or become a Hyperversal near-Omnipotent being in a few years like in Tensura.
Or having anger issues can make you able to blow up planets like in Dragon Ball.
But for him the danger was no less, he wasn't some multiversal or higher dimensional God.
A fish is an fish whether he is an smaller pond or bigger pond.
That is why he was both excited and nervous.
"Say... how far I am from Modern era?" Raj asked with anticipation.
[Master is 4.51 Billion years away from modern era]
He paused... then he grinned.
"That means I have atleast millions of years before Aliens pass by and billions of years before Humanity is born. Millions of years to a guy who has Superman's race, and Doomsday's adaption alongside so many other cheats? If I don't became strong enough to destroy universes with a punch when Humanity starts kicking, I will consider myself to be an failure" Raj said.
"Say... can my world... if I were to create it can be attacked?" Raj asked.
[Yes, while it has defense measures like every world and even better considering it is within a separate dimension it can be attacked]
"I see... Then I will not use it until I am strong enough" Raj said.
This world had Aliens, Gods, and even Elderitch horrors.
He didn't wanted to create a world, only to attract invaders.
The fact that humanity survived 10,000 years in this world was a miracle itself.
It Speaks volumes when all the timelines where Humanity didn't survive was discarded.
He has been lucky... immensely luck with his first gacha, but it was system granted.
Raj's luck... to be honest had been shitty all his life.
Getting sudden sweetness won't give him any self-confidence about his luck.
"Say...How many days it will take me to able to fly?" Raj asked.
[It will take approximately three months for master to go to that level]
It was pretty fast considering it took years for superman to fly.
His reactive evolution hastened up the progress but without active simulation he couldn't grow in matter of a few days or in hours.
Not to mention he wanted to play safe when this world has magic, and Superman's defense wasn't well known for resisting magic.
He didn't even knew how limited his reactive evolution was, but again it wasn't at the level of comics.
Otherwise Doomsday in the Movie would have simply adapted to the death.
"So three months huh? Since, I have nothing to do... and well, how about a new name?" Raj suddenly thought.
His current name... it meant to rule, to govern.
However it was quite generic in modern times, and last thing he wanted to do is introduce himself as the God named 'Raj'
"I want something to be a part of myself... Hmmm"
"Supremus Rao, It is just my name in another language and Rao from DC but well... It will work, atleast I won't have people gawking from my name alone" Raj no- Rao smirked.
Truly he is...
In Fate.
To be continued...
