Chapter Text
It had been a relatively normal day.
All that was left to do was get home, so she was headed down some stairs so that she could get to the bus.
Her headphones played a song she liked and she carried her violin in her right hand. Maybe she should go somewhere tomorrow, that would be fun.
…
But a force from behind ended those plans.
She lost her balance and fell forward, towards the concrete ground.
She didn’t scream before she died, she didn’t have time to, just a brief second of pain before nothing.
She opened her mouth to scream before noticing the pain was gone, but then she realised that she sat in an endless void of glowing white.
Did she… die? At least she was still conscious. One of her biggest fears was that after death she’d just stop existing.
She looked up to see an iridescent creature that was difficult to describe. The only thing she could really comprehend were a multitude of wings that glimmered the same way it did and a set of paws like that of a cat.
“Hello!” It spoke in surprisingly normal voice, albeit a high pitched one. “You’re getting isekai’d! Since you watch and read so many of those, I assume you already know what that means?” It looked at her with an expectant gaze. How could she tell where it was looking?
“I- Yeah.” She responded. She felt oddly calm despite dying barely minutes ago.
“Great!” It replied. “Usually I’m supposed to give someone who didn’t do much good before they died a weakish power, but due to your potential in other timelines and the nature of your death, I’ll be lenient with you. Choose a power, just try to be reasonable.”
Well, that instantly took several ideas off the table. She probably couldn’t ask for a crazily overpowered power like creating any item that that do anything or simply shove a bunch of ideas into one big one, but there was surely something else she could do. Immortality or something that does that would probably be a big no no, and she wasn’t a big fan of stealing a power from one of the fics she read (even if that means she can’t ask for shapeshifting) but-
…
That’s it. That’s the power she’d ask for.
”Could I please have an ability that lets me traverse worlds?” She called to the entity. It was something that hopefully wouldn’t be too overpowered, yet unique and fun enough to make her reincarnation enjoyable. Not to mention if this was an Isekai, there’d probably be an audience, and the idea would likely entice people since she definitely hadn’t seen any isekais where the protagonist jumps worlds.
”That’s it?” It mumbled, seemingly surprised. It said try to be reasonable what did it expect? “Alright! How about I send you to the world of Phighting to start?” It asked in response to her.
”I don’t really care, sure.” She responded.
The entity waved its paw and suddenly she found herself in what she assumed to be crossroads.
