I awoke in...space? This place was filled with stars, black holes, planests and asteroids but I couldn't touch even one of them as my body seemed to be in another plane of existence.
"Hello little one, how was the travel to arrive here?" Turning my head to the "side" if there was even one I could see a young white man in white shirt, black jeans and red hair with a tint of white having his head in my direction.
Why I was saying his head was because he had a sleeping face with his eyes closed but I could feel that he was the one who talked. 'You gotta be kidding me.... is this Azathoth?".
The man chuckled "Indeed I have been called by this name by a human who had visions of us. Now I need to talk about why you are here so would you please?" He gestured for me to seat down as or point of view changed and planets could now be used as seats.
After seating I tried to talk but nothing was coming out of my mouth. Great, I forgot we were in space. So I thought 'Wasn't you supposed to be asleep? I already guessed that I died but this interest me more than the reason of how I died'
He restrained a laugh for a good two minutes before exploding into laughters. After what felt and had to be years, he finally calmed down "You see when someone is omnipotent it means he really is. I can't "wake up" or move without destroying the universe but not only that doesn't mean I am not aware and can't interact with what I created~. And I could just create another plane of existence where being asleep is being awake. Do you understand my little creation~?"
'Uh... yeah now I see but can you tell me for what reasons I was brought here for? If it's some sort of reincarnation just tell me what to do I will go with the flow'
I could see the hint of a smile on his sleeping face as he responded "You know omnipotence is pretty boring, even if I try role-playing in another universe when you know that you can make your enemy dissappear with a snap of your finger it gets quickly annoying.
This is why I along the Court{Court of Azathoth} came up with an idea. We're gonna reincarnate all the people that want to in a random world! And with random powers!" He said pointing his finger high(?) in the sky(?)
A/N: Reincarnators won't be in this story. Just imagine that the Outer Gods are creating a multiversale T.V with show but with real persons, even if the Gods aren't watching the show continue being diffused in the same channel
"So if you want to know we won't intervene in your adventures. Imagine it like T.V, we can watch all we want but can't intervene. Now for what you was waiting for It's decided like that." Three wheels appeared on my left.
"Soooo~ before you ask the first wheel is the wheel of the body wich decide of your appearance and overall physical abilities without training, the second is something you reincarnators like quit a bit~~.
It is the system wheel! A wheel that will decide what gender of system you will use or if you will even use any~.
Now the third wheel and the most important. The world wheel! Wich decide in what world you will be thro— sent, I said sent. Now time to start!"
He then proceeded to place his hand... on the third wheel???!!! I guess order doesn't count. "I hope you're lucky~ or you could finish in MHA as some quirkless kid~" I gulped audibly at that as he started to spin the wheel as lightspeed or above.
After an eternity the wheel started to slow down before stopping at... 'Danmachi!!?? No, actually it's pretty good... if I can join a good family... just have to slap the Thot if she come near me...'
"Oh~ That's not everyday that you go in a world with "Gods" other than us~ now the next in line is the system go~go~goo~" Azathoth pumped his fists in the air and after that he posed both hand on the wheel before making it speed, a little less faster.
The wheel again slowed down before stopping at 'The last game you played on your phone? Wait so it's Jobmania?' As I was thinking that the wheel shown bright before the name of my result changed to "Jobmania system(upgraded)"
'This was a good game... it should be pretty OP now right? I mean there's so many cool jobs I hope there's no limits to what I can equip.'
"Oooh that's a pretty good thing you have there~ You could even become one of us with that~~. But now the last but not least~ your body! I hope that you will obtain something good because the last time we had a ugly bastard who ended his life because of how ugly he was. Beauty complex I tell you." He said with a sight while pinching the bridge of his nose.
Placing his hand on the third wheel again he started to spin it at a speed superior to light. What quite litteraly was and felt like an eternity passed before I knew it and the wheel stopped on a name
-Nyarlathotep form: Human(Male)
"Oh you will look like a male version of my cute daughter~~ this day sure is a great one!"
'Eh? But isn't Nyarlathotep his son? eeeeeeh....' Litteraly knowing what I was thinking RO— Azathoth... said "I know what you're thinking but is it my fault if my daughter is soo good at travesty? She looks quite litteraly like an old man when she's on a trip on earth..."
Oh so this is how it is huh...
"Before you ask I won't send you right now, as you look just like my daughter, so while I should have send you there at seven years old why don't you just rest with me for something like 4 years? So I can teach you some things, please~ I just want to see you grow up~"
And that's how in a flash of light I was transformed into a 3 year old boy. "You look so cuuuuute~ look!" Azathoth pulled a giant mirror from god know— wait no he's a god..... He just pulled a giant mirror okay?
Looking at myself I had to say damn I waw beautiful. I was a child with dark-brown skin and glowing Blue green eyes with the left having a egyptian like birthmark.
My hair were pitch black on the outer side while the inner side was like my eyes, glowing blue green. My overall face looked extremely cute and I could see that it was the signs of a heartbreaker. my overall appearance was quite litteraly ethereal.
A/N: Just imagine the Nyarlathotep of the artist Merryweather but as a man
(Image here for the curious)
For what I remember, on the physical level Nyarlathotep as super strength and invulnerability, wich I doubt will work really well as I am not the original. But I should have high defences.
"Oh now why don't we go to the library~" As he said that we got to a library that I could only describe as planetary. The books were flying right and left replacing themselves at the good place, even the bookshelves were moving. And in all of that there was a middle aged man sitting on a desk with a book, wearing a formal suit. He had black hair and completely black eyes but if you looked closely you could see that there were stars in his hairs and eyes.
"So what can I do for you Grandpa?" Asked the man finally taking his eyes of the book in front of him. Azathoth waved his hand at him "Yog-chaan don't talk like that to mee~ you know it hurts a lot... Anyways! I am here to ask you to train this little boy for a really quick 4 years, teach him everything you can. Could you do that? please~please~please~pleaaaase~?"
Yog-sothoth accepted by nodding his head. "We will start with combat training and while you're resting I will give you lessons about magics and sciences, be prepared as even if you sleep I will force myself into your dream to force you.
And that's not like it would be difficult for you, after all you got the body of big sis." Wait her body is that good? Damn I really hit the jackpot sometimes.
And that is how my 4 years training started wich I don't even remember why it started.
------
The 4 years passed like a blink.And finally while I was reading some books about runes Azathoth arrived
"Narla-saaan~ now you have to reincarnate! Wish you luck and goodbye!" Not even letting me ask why so suddenly I got slapped out of this world.
I was then in a blue green space similar to my hair and eyes. While resting in it, I remembered my time here.
In thoses 4 years not only I practiced almost all the form of martial arts you can come up with but I also learned how to use rune magic, the language used in Orario and the tongue of the Outer Gods. I really liked the infinite possibilities that compose the rune magic.
So while I could have stopped when Yog said I had a good level, we just practiced this magic as another type of magic wouldn't have me put so much effort in it.
Azathoth named me Narlatothep.... he's not the best to come up with names but I just accepted it. I also learned how being an Outer God was litteraly a cheat. Not only I don't need to eat or sleep but my reserves of energy seems infinite and the regeneration is incredible.
But even with all of this I know I'm not even a step close to the strongest creatures here. Now I just hope that I won't have the need to bitchslap Freya just to start my adventures....
