Well dying sucks ass honestly. There were so many things that I could've done and even wanted to do but my time was up. That is what I would say if I didn't die in such a pathetic way, like come on, has someone seriously died by slipping on a damn banana?
Probably they have, but when they slipped on the banana, did they have a heart attack at the same time? No? Yeah, I thought so.
What a pathetic way to die right?
Now here am I living my new life in the blinding void. Just floating endlessly, I wonder when this will end. Will it end? Probably not.
"My Child!"
Well well lookie here. A ball of light had appeared in this endless void. Was it time for me to reincarnate.
"That is indeed correct!"
Huh, that's neat that you can hear my thoughts. Very neat power if I have to say so myself. 10/10
"Instead of commenting about my abilities, do you want to reincarnate?"
Depends on what kind of reincarnation, if I am being reincarnated in a world like say full of gore while being a powerless human then I would have to pass.
"You would reincarnate in an anime world."
An anime world? That's pretty interesting, we have horrible ones like Naruto, Berserk, Attack on Titan, and a lot more. However, we also have the slice of life/pure romance anime's. Dear Lord, I would absolutely love to cuck the author of Rent a Girlfriend!
"Don't say my name in vain, also your thoughts are freaky."
Huh. Never expected God to ever say freaky. It sounds weird and well freaky. Anyways we are getting sidetracked here. Tell me, could I choose any wish I want? Or perhaps the world I am entering?
I wasn't very proficient on animes, I only watched a few so my knowledge on overpowered abilities weren't top tier. I hope that I can just simply choose the world I can go to...Rent a Girlfriend here I come if I can choose!
"No, you freaky frog, you can't choose what world you can reincarnate in."
Whattttt, then how will the world be chosen?
To answer my question a wheel had appeared with many anime names. Some of them I couldn't even recognize. I did recognize a few, that being Berserk, Naruto and Attack on Titan. The ones I had listed on my head. You cheat.
"I am omniscient, I literally can't cheat bro. All the knowledge is already mine."
Fuck. God really got me with that comeback.
"Anyways let's spin this wheel!"
The wheel begun spinning and I began praying to God that it wouldn't land on a world such as Berserk.
"No use praying. I can't control what the wheel lands on."
Damn....The wheel began to slow down until it slowed almost to a stop at Berserk. Holy fucking shit. No... No, and yet by some damn miracle the wheel pointer barely passed Berserk into RWBY.
WTF is a RWBY? Wait wait wait, I am grateful that it didn't land on Berserk. I just, well I've never watched RWBY. I only know that a lot of people say it's a terrible show and a lot of people glaze it beyond belief.
Now I wish that I paid attention to twitter and the tweets the fandom were making.
"Your perk is a single wish. Of course it has to be reasonable to an extent."
Alright just one wish, well let's just go all out. No Lovecraftian stuff, no way God would accept granting me that. How about becoming an anime character? Yes that could work, but I don't need only strength. I need versatility too. AHAHA!
I want to become Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night. By becoming Gilgamesh I mean retaining his appearance, abilities, Noble Phantasms that he owns and treasures inside [Gate of Babylon].
"I can do that. However, I will rip apart Sha Naqba Imuru"
Ah dang, I was hoping that God wouldn't notice that ability.
"You thought about it even if you were trying your best not to think about it."
SO IM MY OWN BIGGEST OPP! BRUH
"Have fun in your new world" :)
HOW DOES A SMILEY FACE APPEAR ON AN LIGHT ORB-

Waking up in a new, different world that I have no knowledge of was terrifying. However, there was no use in crying about spoiled milk. I took deep breaths, trying to process the environment around me. I was in a city, old compared to modern Earth, yet it also reminded him of the Victorian Era.
'Now what am I meant to do?' I thought to myself, wishing that I had Gilgamesh's overpowered ability of seeing possible futures. It would've been incredibly easy to find direction, yet God had removed it from me.
It was annoying, but I knew that God wanted a show, and my knowing of every plot point would not be fun at all for God to watch.
Walking to a map on a wall, I realized that, thankfully, I was able to read the language of this world. Inspecting the map, I looked for any kind of place that would be able to give me the context.
"Vale City Library, huh." A library was perfect for finding information. I just prayed that it was free because right now, I had zero money in hand.
It took me a while to reach the library; the city was like a maze to me, and I often found myself walking into dead ends. The library was big and grand with a huge sign that said "Vale City Library." Very creative.
I walked into the library, and thankfully, the receptionist only greeted me, and again, thank goodness there was no language barrier as I greeted her back. This was so helpful because I couldn't handle being seen as a caveman by others when they realized I couldn't communicate with them. Finding the section that spoke about the general information of this world wasn't difficult at all.
However....All these books were...They were books made for children. I sighed and picked up the books, ingesting the facts while trying to ignore the looks and whispers that I was receiving.
Being Gilgamesh now kind of sucked in a way because, well, I could hear what these people were whispering.
"Is he special? Why is he reading that book? Is he so stupid that even kids are smarter than him?"
"Maybe it's for his younger siblings, man. It's 2013, man. You can't be saying those kinds of things."
"Man, who gives a shit about what I am saying, you act like he can hear us."
I-I wasn't sure if I should be impressed by the confidence that teenager had or smack the living shit out of him for insulting me. I was unsure what would happen if I slapped him, so I decided to ignore him.
However, I promised myself that once I grew more knowledgeable about this world and I could get away with slapping the shit out of you, I would 100% do it.
Anyways, as I read into the books. I kind of got the hang of this world.
To summarize. There are two races here, the Faunus and the Humans. There are essentially almost 0 differences between them, except for the fact that the Faunus have animal traits which could be tails, ears, wings and etc. That is the only difference, and yet somehow Faunus were being discriminated against by Humans. To me, this was plain dumb. It reminded me of how people are racist to each other only because they have different skin colors.
Anyway, I shouldn't be ranting. The main enemy of these two races is the Grimm, monsters that inhabit most of the Remnant (Cool name for a planet, I must say). These monsters forced the people in this world into 4 Kingdoms: Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo, and Vale. Hearing Vale was a godsend for me. At least I now knew where I was in terms of the world map.
There were still a few pages in this book, but it seems I had gotten ahead of myself.... As I read, I wish that I had simply ignored this fact. I felt like this world was somehow trying to ragebait me because HOW! A large part of the Faunus was basically pushed into an island called Menagerie.
Ignoring the ragebait of this book, I found a book that was about Huntsmen. People that trained to fight the Grimm outside of the walls, or when the Grimm managed to invade, although it happened rarely.
To become a Huntsmen, you have to go to a school to train...Yes, that's right, school. I groaned at the thought that I would go back to school. I haven't even finished High School, and yet this world wanted him to go back.
I held out my hands and began making the motion of weighing the options. Schoolllll or making bands because I am broke right now. (Insert 6-7 GIF)
"Dude, I am telling you; he must be spec-"
Fuck the consequences here, man. I am tired of this motherfucker, I walked towards the two teens before slapping the shit out of the guy who was talking shit, before beginning to walk away.
I left the library with deep satisfaction in my soul. Was I scared of going to prison because I just assaulted a man? Hell no. The only powers that the people in this world were Aura and Semblances, could they handle Noble Phantasms? Hell, not even just NP's but PROTOTYPES which are basically a stronger version? Fuck no!
I hummed to myself walking through the streets of Vale, my mind kept weighing the options of school or getting more money. The former was less tempting but well, getting a Huntsmen License could lead to bank in the future but having money right now to actually survive was important.
Money...Money...Money....How to make money.... A giant ass light bulb shined above my head. Fuck that dude might be right. I am fucking stupid. I AM GILGAMESH, THE RICHEST FATE SERVANT!
Utilizing [Gate of Babylon], a golden portal appeared. I pushed my hand inside and felt so many precious metals, gems, and etc. This was truly a godsend; I sent my prayers to the God who sent me here.
"Mommy, mommy. This guy is doing a magic trick."
"Leave the clown alone dear. We have to get going."
I really have to stop embarrassing myself, don't I? Moving on, I walked to the nearest place that trades metals for money.
"We Scam Scrubs"
Nice name for a Blacksmith Forge, I enter inside and I see the typical Blacksmith. He was full of muscles and had an elongated mustache, one that I was very jealous of by the way.
"What'd ya want ya brat." He said with an impatient tone, like he was doing something important before I interrupted him which is cap.
When I came in, the dude was literally sleeping in the chair. Well, I guess sleeping is important too. Touche. "I'm here to sell you some Tungsten." I said with a confident smile.
"Do ya have enough Tungsten to warrant my attention, kiddo?" The Blacksmith question, his voice cocky. "I don't make small deals boy. This is one of the most prestigious Forges in Vale."
I didn't even respond to him at all, [Gate of Babylon] was opened and pounds after pounds of Tungsten were dropped onto the ground. "Alright lad, I've seen that ya got a lot of tungsten. That's enough anymore and I can't afford the rest."
I smirked at him, "So the real question was, do you have enough cash in hand?" I watched in satisfaction proving the Blacksmith wrong, it brought deep pride. Was Gilgamesh's pride getting into me? Nah I was always naturally proud and hated when people talked bad about me.
The trade was completed, and I was now 60 million Lien richer. Oh boy, being Gilgamesh is awesome as fuck. Leaving the Forge, I was very happy with my situation, but the real question was, what am I meant to do now?
Meh, time will tell.
