Chapter 1
« So you're just going to accept that huh? »
« Well I just died,I'm in a white room which is very original by the way,I can't move and you're like all holy sooooo yeah.It's an honor to see god.»
« ............eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!!!! »
God started changing until he looked like a very handsome man with long blonde hair;blue eyes,a chiseled jaw,high cheekbones and dressed in a white suit.
« That's lameeeee!You're supposed to not believe me then I'll do something awesome and you'll be like. »God changed again until he looked like nox's clone« Oh my me!! Get it because i'm God You're really god kyyyyyaaaaah!!!!!kyyyyyaaaaah!!!! »He was doing an impressive imitation of the painting The scream.
« .......Can I have my honor to meet you back please? »
God,back to his appearance,got teary eyed and really close to Nox in a pathetic attempt at puppy dog eyes.
« That's mean!You're so mean! »
« Can I go to heaven now?Actually you'll be there,so can i go to hell? »He asked this with a complete straight face,which made it worse it seems.
« Heeeeee! »God was now in the corner crying with a raining cloud above him.« You're so mean!Even though so many people pray to meet me,you insult me. »
« I feel that you should go apologize to them. »
« Waaaaaaaaah!I hate you! »Instantly god was on his knees next to Nox's chair,still crying« Ah!I'm sorry I didn't mean it!I like you!No!I love you!I'm sooooorryyyyyyy! »He then continued to cry.
« This is annoying. »Nox sighed « It's okay,I forgive you.Let's just move on please. »
« Good let's get to business. »God was now sitting back in his chair with his arms crossed.He would look truly impressive,if there wasn't a puddle of tears and snot on the floor.
« Tell me Nox,what do you think is supposed to happen now. »
« I go to heaven or hell? »
« That's one option,yes.You see there is 3 things that can happen when someone dies.
First is heaven or hell depending on your actions,let's call it karma to make it easier.Good karma,you go to heaven, bad karma you go to hell.
Second,you are reincarnated.You have good karma,your soul reincarnates into a good position like a rich kid or talented person.Bad karma,your soul reincarnates into an insect or a poor kid or something like that.

And finally there is the extremes,if your soul is truly corrupted by bad actions then it is destroyed,but if it is truly holy you can become an angel. »
« I see.And who chooses what happens?You? »
« Nope.The soul decides if it is reincarnated or goes to hell/heaven.Though normally it is done by angels.That's a part of the job,they have to wipe the memories of the ones that reincarnate too. »
« I see.Then why are you here for me? »Why wasn't an angel taking care of him?Was he special?He didn't really think so,sure he did a lot of good things (for himself) but nothing that deserved meeting God.
« .....You see i have created an infinite number of universes/realms/dimensions/worlds,whatever you want to call it.Yet this one is my favorite,because it was my first. »He suddenly blushed,put his hands on his cheeks and turned his head to the side« You never forget your first time... »
Nox nodded his head« I see.Can you go die please? »
« Anyway,the point is... »Though he was back to being serious,tears dropped like a waterfall from his eyes« This world and it's humans are really important to me.But they were doomed. »
« What!?Why? »Nox was startled and his eyes opened wide.
« As i said they were my first creation,as so they were the most flawed.In Fact humanity was going to be wiped out in a few centuries.But you changed that. »God's smile was truly radiant right now.
Nox was so confused.« Me?What did I do? »« Am I some sort of Jesus and I didn't know? »
Sigh« You see I tried to save this world lots of times,but every time made it worse.So i had no choice but to give up.But I did one last thing,I created a child,a genius that would save humanity.However........ he suffered the curse that humanity can somtime be.He gave up,he stole,he cheated and would have done a lot worse in the future,but you stopped that. »His sad expression turned happy all of a sudden.
« I still don't get it,I didn't stop any kid from commiting a crime.Hell the only kid I've really interacted with is........Oh oooooooooohhh. »It suddenly clicked« That kid »
God chuckled« Yes,that kid.You giving up your life for him and those last words of yours changed him.He will struggle,but he will study and he will discover a new energy and other very important discoveries.Thanks to those humanity will go to space and never die out. »

This was truly shocking for Nox,first he died by saving a kid,then he met God« Though that was dissapointing »« Waaaaaaa so mean! »While crying God found himself under a deathglare« I'm sorry,I'll shut up now. »SO as he was sayi...thinking before he got interrupted,he learned how dying worked,that humanity was going to be wiped out and finally that he saved the only person capable of saving it.
« Wait,now that I think about it,isn't me saving that kid worth a lot of good karma for me? »
For a second God just looked at him.Then he started laughing to the point that he was rolling on floor.
« What? »Nox could feel his eyebrow twitching as he grounded the word.
After a few moment God managed to get his laughter under control and got back to his chair.
« It's just......you truly are one of the most selfish being in the multiverse.Yet you do it in a bizzare way.
Nox,if it was just a lot of good karma,we wouldn't be talking.You see because Alex,the kid,did everything because of you and in your name,it means that you saved every human after you.And as i said humanity will never die,you saved an infinte number of people,so you got an infinte number of good karma. »
It took a few seconds for the information to process but when it did Nox's eyes got so wide God was kind of afraid.He suddenly jumped from his chair,not even paying attention to the fact that he could move,and started doing a dance of joy best not described.Let it be known that dancing was not one of Nox's talent.
« YESSSSSS!It worked out at the end.All that work was worth it,Now I can go to heaven and do what I want. »
« Well not really.... »
The dance suddenly stopped and faster than light Nox was gripping God's shoulders and glaring at him.
« You better not try to screw me over or I WILL make you suffer! »
« Scaryyyyy even though I'm god. »« Nononono you misunderstood.What is going to happen is so much better than going to heaven. »God looked so prideful while declaring that,he even puffed out his chest.Though he was still shacking and sweating from being scared.
« Explain!now! »This glare was almost an ultimate secret move now.Anyone but God would have probably died if exposed to it.Though Nox was back at his chair.
« Sir Yes Sir! »« Shit it came out automatically even though i never did this before. »« You see good karma,or what we called good karma,is more then just a spiritual value,it's a power.And this power has to be transformed.Normally it's used in the process of reincarnation or in the ascension to heaven. »
« I see,then what do I do?And what about bad karma? »He was curious after all if bad karma was power too,it would be unfair,it is after all easier to be mean than kind most of the time.
« Bad karma is the opposite,it's more like a parasite eating at the soul.You need good karma to ''repair'' your soul.You get that in your next life or by paying for your crimes in hell.Like I said,too much bad karma and the soul gets destroyed.I didn't say that we destroy it because it's done naturally.Anyway for you I will do something truly ''awesome''.I will convert that power in an abilty and send you into a perfect dimension for you,also I will let keep you memories.This has happened before,though not on this scale. »
« Wow that's.....thanks.What's the ability then?Don't tell me about the dimension,i want it to be a surprise. »He could be childish sometimes.
« Hahaha.You see the power is the one everyone wants. »Nox could somehow hear a drumroll in the background.« Reality control!Or the power to have all the powers and be OP!To be honest this power is going to make you number two in the multiverse,just after me.Though the difference between you and me will still be infinite. »
He looked reeeeeally smug,but honestly Nox was too busy dancing again to notice.
God waited for him to calm down(it took 20 minutes,he was really excited),to continue.
« Now for the dimension,I will only say these two words : classic xianxia »
Cue dance of joy again.
« You should really stop doing that,you're kinda weird you know. »
« I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU! »

Until I woke up the next morning with the unmistakable glow of power in my blood. My only hope is to hide who I am and somehow discover the truth of what happened that bloody night.

Digital Haven
The modern world fell into a deep depression, and few options remained for the suffering lower class. The global economy crumbled under a growing energy crisis and overpopulation led to the creation of a virtual frontier known as Teurilia, the first full immersion virtual reality. Teurilia introduced a world of adventure and exploration leaning on human nature for greed and power. The world, built to be a realistic role-playing game offered players nearly unlimited freedom and became wildly popular around the world within weeks of its initial release. Originally intended to be a temporary relief from the real world, the world’s governments soon realized the potential of virtual existence with the release of technology to permanently transfer consciousness from physical bodies into virtual ones. Supported by economists of the world and political power from the United Nations, Teurilia received limitless funding to support the migration of millions of new citizens. Eric Williams like many low-class citizens immediately saw the potential new life in Teurilia offered and signed up for the migration program within the first week of its announcement. Eric always dreamed of grand adventure and Teurilia was his golden ticket. This is his story…

A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel

Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard
Edward was reincarnated into the world of Harry Potter, an act which excites him giving the fact that this was one of his favorite books. So, he embarks on the path of wizardry in the hope of discovering the way it works, the laws or theories that govern it; he wanted to find its essence. He tries to find the answer to questions like What is the soul. Why can wizards use magic, while muggles cannot? Do bloodlines truly exist? And if so, what use is it to wizards? Could it be the reason that some wizards are born with exceptional talents like Parselmouth or Metamorphmagus? When Edward finally uncovers the answers to these questions he pondered on, he suddenly thought to himself: "Since the world of Harry Potter is real, what about all the other anime, movies, games, and books that I read from my past life? And if they are indeed real, how I can I get there?" This story is an Infinite Stream novel where the mc travels through different anime and movie worlds acquiring various magical abilities and knowledge to become a supreme wizard that stands on the top of countless dimensions and universes. Warnings: The MC will spend a great deal of time in the Harry Potter World before going to other worlds.I have not decided whether the [Curse Child] is canon or not. I do not care what JK Rowling said. This is a pseudo-science explanation of magic, so take it with a grain of salt. I am an amateur writer with not-so-good grammar, so any constructive criticism is appreciated. This is a wish-fulfillment and Gary Stu-type novel so read at your convenience. If this is not your kind of thing, then move along and do not complain about it later. Although this fanfic will be a Harem, the mc will not have a thousand women. Most likely, I will write so that he has a certain relationship with some female characters, then he will leave her in her own universe. Only a few will follow him in his journey. Also, a few men will be in his group. THIS IS NOT A YAOI. Disclaimer: All the characters--except the one created by me--belong to JK Rowling.
