《THE TRIALS: Path Toward Godhood. (WARNING : MATURE CONTENT)》PROLOGUE : KARMA
Advertisement
What comes after death? Is it judgment or just nothingness?
I always asked myself this. This question seems so distant in a normal case, but when death comes knocking it can take your entire thoughts from day to night.
I was never a healthy man. When children were wrestling or riding their bicycles, I had to go to the hospital to do my regular check-up. This situation of mine became bleaker as time passed.
Right now, I could feel it, life slowly slipping from my finger. Seem like after so many years of cheating death, she finally managed to reach me. I hope she isn't too angry with me. Ahaha. *cough* yeah à dying man shouldn't laugh so much.
Ah... Now I have difficulty breathing, my vision is swaying. Weirdly I am not sad. To think a laugh would be what would finish me. Well, joke apart. I have no one to care for and no one cares for me. I gave my last bit of money some minutes ago and I already wrote my will and gave it to my lawyer. I can say without a doubt that few people of my age would be as prepared as me for death.
Ah... My vision is becoming dark. My senses are dulling, I feel like I'm falling. So that's death. I must say, it's pretty warm. I wonder if an afterlife exists?
-------
"18h00, patient death is confirmed, let give a small prayer to a kind soul"
------
I am lying on something hard. I feel like everything around me is warm and calm. The smell of flowers enters my nose and the wind blows onto my face.
Wait a minute, how is this possible? I'm supposed to be dead.
I opened my eyes and what I saw made me take a deep breath. I was in a flower field with a large tree in it. I tried to stand up as I looked around me astounded.
"Is this heaven?"
"Not exactly, it's my personal domain." A voice answered me from behind.
I did a complete turn in surprise and was face to face with something of which my mind can't believe. In front of me was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. It wasn't her face. I couldn't explain her features, she sometimes looked young, sometimes old, sometimes slim, sometimes plump. She was ever-changing, but in my heart, I could still feel that her beauty was outside of this world. A smile formed on her face as she said,
"Thanks for the compliments"
So she can read my mind. I wonder, what is her name?
"My name cannot be said in any language you can understand. Just call me Weave Spinner, for this is my duty"
"Your duty?"
Fine threads began to appear in her hands. Looking closely at those threads, I started feeling dizzy. It was like an unlimited amount of information was being drilled into my head. I closed my eyes and turned my head. She simply answered my doubts.
"Those threads represent different worlds at different times. My duty is to spin those threads and keep them from becoming entangled."
She smiled once again as she looked at me. I was honestly surprised. But hey, I was supposed to be dead. So anything is possible. I just wonder why I didn't stay dead.
"When I spin my threads, I can look at the different worlds and the beings in them. The law of Karma dictate that every soul must reincarnate in a random world after being washed from all their memories of their previous life. My duty is to execute this will and send soul to the world they're worthy of. I generally do it without asking anything. But, sometimes, I can make some exceptions. You're an exception. I will give you a choice. Where do you want your new self to reincarnate? "

This time I wasn't that surprised. I didn't really like this type, but I read enough isekai to know what was happening. Still, I couldn't just give her an answer without more info. After all, it's stupid to make assumptions simply because I read some books.
"What kind of world can I go to?"
"Any world of your choice. I could let you reincarnate on your home planet in any time past or future of your choice. I could make you reincarnate in a world where magic exists or where science reached the pinnacle. I could even make you reincarnate in an anime world of which you like so much or in some film. The choice is yours"
I began to hesitate. I thought that I could go with my memory. Isn't it usually how it goes? The mc uses the memory of his past life to awe the populace and make any girls wet their panties just by preparing some food from their old world or by Showing their otherworldly knowledge. Even though I don't know how to cook nor did I have knowledge apart from trading.
Finally, I decided. Let's live a new life. I may not remember it, but I hope the new me will be happy.
"I choose to reincarnate in an anime world"
"Which one?"
"Boku no hero academia"
"Oh... Interesting choice. Ok, I will grant your wish"
She simply took a white thread out of nowhere and put it to the side. Afterward, she took a box and gave it to me
"Now open this. Since you chose such a world, going there without enough power might not be too smart. I believe the world you chose uses a form of power called quirks. This box once opened will give you some perks that will help you there"
I took the box given to me. It was nothing impressive, just a simple black box. When I opened the box though, I was momentarily blinded. A stream of information entered my head. This was followed by the voice of a woman sounding in my head. This voice was somewhat robotic.
[RANDOM WISH GENERATED. TWO PERKS WERE GIVEN]
[FIRSTLY, YOU'LL HAVE A BODY ABLE TO SUPPORT TWO QUIRKS]
[SECONDLY, FROM A SIMPLE LIST, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE TWO POWERS THAT WILL BE YOUR QUIRKS]
[LIST: 1) HIRAISHIN
2)KEKKEI GENKAI: HYOTON
3)TITAN TRANSFORMATION: SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN
4)DRAGON SLAYER CONSTITUTION: ACNOLOGIA
5)DEVIL FRUITS: GOMU GOMU NO MI
6)BYAKUGAN
7)ORIGINAL SIN/ROOT
8)TITAN TRANSFORMATION: YOROI NO KYOJIN
9)DEVIL FRUIT: HANA HANA NO MI]
I was stumped, those powers were great, even more so for the dragon constitution of Acnologia and the shingeki no Kyojin.
(AN: A little spoiler for those who didn't watch the last season of fairy tail, or didn't read the latest chapters of Shingeki no Kyojin. Even if you miss this part it won't particularly affect the rest of the chapter so you can skip it. I will show the spoiled part by writing start and end)
----------------------------SPOILER START------------------
From what I remembered, the power of Acnologia was seriously a cheat. As a dragon slayer, what he ate wasn't simply fire like Natsu or wind like Wendy. No, what he ate was simply magic. He was as such immune to all forms of magic. If I take this, even endeavor full power wouldn't tickle me. Sadly this power was only the constitution, if it was all the power of a dragons slayer, I would have chosen this without hesitation. The more important was that I wasn't even sure that it would work. After all, quirk and magic operated under different systems.

The power of the shingeki no Kyojin, on the other hand, was terrific. I was able to read the most recent chapters 122 before dying and I was gobsmacked at how much a genius the author was. If I chose this not only would I have the power to transform, but I will also obtain the ability to obtain information from the future me.
Sadly once again, this wasn't enough. In the world of Eren, titans may be able to wreak havoc as they see fit, and even in Boku no hero they will be high tier. But, the firepower of most true heroes was simply too great and the weakness of titan too easy to find. The worst was the weapons. The humans beyond the walls were already able to create anti titan weapons
despite their low technology level. With the technology level of this world, it wouldn't be long before I became an easy target.
------------------------------SPOILER END-----------------------
I was sad to let those two go but I must be a realist. I not only needed power with high destructive ability, but I also needed versatility, survival and fleeing abilities. I then made my choice.
"I choose the hiraishin and the original sin/root"
Those two powers were the best in my eyes. The hiraishin was a cheat-like ability that allowed Minato to exterminate an army of thousands in a few seconds, and by doing so become known as the yellow flash. What's more, he could go anywhere anytime as long as the place where he wanted to go was marked.
As for the original sin/root. Anyone who read or watched deadman wonderland would know how OP the power of the wretched egg was. For fuck sake, by just wanting to kill herself she made an earthquake of 11.4 intensity and made 70% of Tokyo sink. She could fly and could also regenerate from any wound. Even a titan regenerative power shouldn't be as fucked up as hers. What more as the original sin she could theoretically use all branches of sin. If I was given even half of her power, rivaling all might not be impossible. Weave spinner eyeing with her smile.
"Interesting choices. Let me be clear though. Since you won't have your memory you won't be able to know all the abilities of your quirks. What more, in order to kill everyone around you, you won't have access to the full power of the original sin from the start. Your new self will have to train in order to master them. As such if your new self is lazy, he may never become someone great even with all that power. "
I understood what she meant. As an Otaku, my knowledge of all their powers was really detailed. If I went with all my memories, I would know just how powerful I could become and train accordingly. Sadly without them, anything is possible.
"Don't worry. With powers like that, if my future self doesn't become strong, then it just means that he didn't put in enough work."
"I see. Let me give you another gift. I cannot let you have all your memories. But I can allow you to have an ability called instinct. Your simple presence will change the plot quite a bit, but for some of the great events, the change would be minimal at best. During those events, if your new self is participating in them, he will be able to feel the danger and may even get some vision. "
I was stunned, this didn't beat having my memory, but such a boon could save me. I wanted to thank her but she stopped me.
"Do not thank me. This power is unreliable and may not even activate most of the time "
This didn't stop me from being thankful.
"Now you'll sleep. This will be the last time you'll be. When you wake up, you'll be someone else. Are you ready?"
"Yes, I am. I was already ready to die long ago. This is nothing more than one more step before my death. Simply knowing that a new me will be able to do everything I couldn't is enough for me. Thanks for everything and goodbye"
"Goodbye"
As she said this, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, this time for eternity.
------
She looked as he slowly crumbled into dust with a sad smile.
[You lied to him. There were no wishes nor rewards. Why? ]
A voice appeared. This was the same voice that presented the wish. Only this time it wasn't robotic but clearly full of feelings. The Weaver sighed and said
"I didn't want to weigh him down for nothing. After the end of his trial, he will come back beside me. Beside us. Also, I wanted to give him an edge for once."
[The watchers won't be happy. You shouldn't have lent him a hand]
"I don't care. In his last life, he had to live with a sickly body but despite that, he never cursed the world and still lived with kindness in his heart. The same happened in each trial. No matter what pain or suffering, he always fought for the best in the world. This will never change"
[...]
"You know I'm right. There are still other trials. I want them to end in a better way than the previous ones. The other girls are also on my side. The watchers won't care as long as I don't go too far"
[Sigh. What do you think will happen once he comes back after the trials?]
"Ahaha. At that time things will become really interesting."
After those words, she simply showed a smile full of malice and grudges. She was waiting for this day with impatience. She would show them...
(AN: For the start of book 1, the powers I have given to My mc are too OP. If he had the full power of the ORIGINAL SIN from the start, plus the knowledge on how to use it, the story would just end in the first chapter or become a funny Manga like OPM. Sadly I don't have a great sense of humor so gag stories are a no from me.)

Agenda of the Villainess
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life, however, and certainly not memories that were somehow inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. This novel is a steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, heavily inspired by the late Victorian era of England and with a system of magic based around floweral circuitry. If that sounds like your cup of tea, why not give it a shot? Updates on Thursday every week.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii

Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder
I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR:- violence- graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces)- cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy.

Candle burning in the dark
This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
