Noah's eyes fluttered open.
"You finally woke up," a voice echoed.
Noah spins around. "Where is that voice coming from?!"
The voice laughed gently.
"I'm everywhere… and nowhere."
A soft ripple passed through the white space.
"I am Author...creator of worlds."
Noah blinked. "Why did you save me?"
"Because that was not your destiny,"The voice replied calmly.
"What destiny?" Noah muttered. "I'm not even from this world. Some madman teleported me into my favorite anime."
The white around him shimmered.
"And what if I told you that anime worlds are real?" The voice said
"…Huh?" Noah stared.
"Every world you've watched, every story ever written from Naruto to Dragon Ball to Attack on Titan… all of them exist.
Some people in your world have the rare ability to glimpse these worlds and write down what they see, believing it to be fiction."
"So you're telling me…" Noah swallowed, "Naruto, Dragon Ball and even Attack on Titan are actually real places?"
"Yes," the Voice answered.
Noah paled. "…Good thing I didn't end up in Attack on Titan. I'd be dead by now."
The Voice chuckled.
"Young man, I will now ask you a question. Do you want to return to your world and follow the destiny you were meant to live…
or stay here, and follow the destiny I have written for you?"
Noah held his chin, thinking quietly.
"I miss my parents and friends… but I like it here. So I'll stay.
By the way… am I dead?"
"Good choice. And no you're still alive."
"Thank God," Noah sighed.
"No need to thank me," the Voice said warmly.
Noah grinned. "Alright then. You can wake me up now."
"Before that," the Voice said, "one more question.
Do you want me to send someone to teach you Haki or do you want me to instantly give you the knowledge of it?"
The white space hummed.
"But know this. if I teach you instantly, you gain only knowledge, not strength. But If you train… you will become unstoppable."
Noah didn't hesitate.
"Send someone to teach me."
The voice chuckled.
"It's more accurate to say… I will send you to them."
A blinding light surround Noah.
"Train well, Noah." The Voice said.
Blip!
Noah he vanished.
