Can You Survive - Chapter 0.2

Red, that’s all that Lucifer saw…

He was going on his morning through the city, life was going great for him. He just got a promotion at his job, he got the girl of his dreams, he just secured a deal with a high paying client at his firm, and Disney bought out Fox. He felt like the world couldn’t be any better.

As he was running through he spotted some kids playing around near the sidewalk. This brought a smile to his face reminding him of the good old days, when he and his friends used to play around until the sun went down.

As Lucifer was reminiscing about his youth he started to zone out a bit. His body going into auto pilot running and going through. As he was running, one of the children had kicked the ball they were toying with out into the street. The other children were disgruntled with this,and so they told the child who kicked the ball onto the street to go and get it.

Wanting to appease the other children, the child at fault ran out to get the ball,but what he did not see coming was a truck speeding down the motorway…but someone did.

As you can all assume, that someone was our main protagonist. He saw this all happening, and without thinking, he ran out onto the street. Speeding to the child Lucifer thought to himself “Hopefully I make it in time”, and so he ran and ran.

He made it in time to save the child and push her out of the way, but alas Lucifer himself could not make it. He was struck by the vehicle and was thrown through the air and landing on the hard and course pavement. He lay there broken and bloodied, thinking to himself “…..WHY THE FU*K DID I DO THAT?!?!?!” and he passes

Lucifer soon awakens to a room so white that it’s almost blinding. Somewhat like a snow blindness, he has to close his eyes for a moment.

He reopens them and starts looking around, only to find a mysterious man that seems to be in his late 30’s to early 40’s and a dark black yukata. They simply stare back at one another.

Mysterious Man: “…”

Lucifer: “…”

Mysterious Man: “…..”

Lucifer: “…”

After what felt like an eternity the Mysterious Man finally spoke to him,

Mysterious Man: “What’s good my guy?”

Lucifer: “….”

Mysterious Man: “Hello?”

The man waves his hands in front of Lucifers’ face, while Lucifer simply stares back at the man

Mysterious Man: “Anyone home?”

And finally, Lucifer answers the mysterious man

Lucifer: “Hello…”

Mysterious Man: “So he speaks!!! What’s up, I’m the observer assigned to this region of the omniverse, Ma’ names Ryu.”

Lucifer Decides to introduce himself to the weird man

Lucifer: “The names Lucif-Wait hold the f*cking phone, did you just say OMNIVERSE?!?! And what in the hell is an observer?!?!But before all that BS, where the hell am I?!??!”

Ryu: “I am sorry to say young one but you have passed onto what your people of catholic religion call “heaven”.”

Lucifer: “I died?!?! Wait…It’s starting to come back to me now, the girl in the street, I had saved her.”

Ryu: “Yup, basically you saved the girl from her destiny to be run over by the LEGENDARY TRUC- *cough* *cough*, I mean you saved that poor girl from the fate of being struck by that despicable truck.”

Lucifer: “Wait, if I changed her destiny, then by the logic of all those fanfics I read on those websites, that means I must have done something good. That girl must’ve become the president or something and changed the world for the better right, or ended world hunger?! And by proxy that means I also “saved” the world right?! That means I get those wishes to go to a new world and have grand adventures right?! Well my first wish is-”

Ryu: “Hold your horses there buckaroo, ain’t none of that sh*t is happened. You may have changed that girl’s destiny but it was actually for the worst. Initially she was SUPPOSED to have become the United States of America’s first female president,as well as end world hunger, as well as most wars across the world, but when you saved her you ended up traumatizing her, making her a shut-in and working as a prostitute. If anything you harmed the world, rather than helped it.”

Lucifer: “Does that mean that I’m going to hell?!”

Ryu: “No, that’s not going to happen either. You have a very imaginative mind you know that?”

Lucifer: “Well then what is going to happen then Mr…..Ryu was it?”

Ryu: “Yes, well to explain what will happen I’m going to have to explain who and what I am. To reiterate, I am Ryu, an observer assigned to this sector of the omniverse,and before you ask, the omniverse basically the spiderweb of this very reality. But you will learn more about the omniverse as we speak. Anyway as an observer I do many things such as: taking care of souls when they pass on, constructing new life, and making realms such as the biblical Heaven or Hell, or the Chinese version of the Nine heavens. I have been entrusted these tasks for millions of chaos years. Just to give you an idea of how long that is, 1 chaos year is the time it takes for one universe to be lived through and then be destroyed. Which is typically 900 billion years. So as you can expect I can get very VERY bored, and to round it all back to the beginning, that is where you come in.”

Lucifer’s mind was in a complete daze. First he finds out that he’s dead and sacred a girl into becoming a prostitute, and the next he finds out that most things like heaven and hell are real. Then he finds out the being he has been talking to is actually a literal deity-like being. He feels like every ting he’s ever done in life was worthless in the grand scheme of it all.

Lucifer: ” What do you mean. “where I come in”?”

Ryu: “I mean that you’re going to relieve me of my boredom kid.”

Lucifer: “Wait! Please, don’t touch me! I only like girls!”

The statement made by Lucifer made Ryu unsure if he she laugh or cry. If the other observers had heard Lucifer just now, Ryu would most likely become a laughing stock in there circles.

Ryu: “Not like that you idiot! I meant that I’m going to send you to another universe like I’ve always done when I get bored.”

Lucifer: “Wait I thought I didn’t do anything worthy of being reincarnated or transmigrated” , Lucifer was now really confused. He thought that he wouldn’t get to live the dream of most fanfic readers.

Ryu: ” Oh trust me, you ain’t worthy of shi*t my guy, I just picked you out at random when getting a soul, and you happened to be the one that I got. Anyways, I don’t want to talk too much any more so I’ll just give you the rundown of what is going to happen to you.”

Lucifer: “…Um okay I guess.”

Lucifers feels like he’s going to get a headache soon

Ryu: ” So basically for now I’m going to send you into a universe with 3 requests which you can make, and if I like you enough, MAYBE will I send you into another universe if you entertain me enough in this one. Maybe.”

Lucifer: ” Three requests huh? Can I know what world I will be thrown into before I make the requests?”

Ryu flashes Lucifer a smile, one like that of the Cheshire cat: “No I think that I’l keep that as a surprise for you. Now, go on make your requests, I don’t got all day.”

Lucifer thinks and the first thing that pops into his head is the most cliche, yet most overpowered thing he can think of in an other world adventure. He smiles as he speaks his next words.

Lucifer: ” For my first request, I would like to have a system that can purchase items and abilities from anime worlds, as well as comic worlds.”

Ryu: “Denied, that would be granting you too much power, and as it stands I can only give you so much as an observer. Had I been a supervisor, I may have been able to have done that, but I digress.

Lucifer: ” Okay, well if I can’t have the system, can I choose any 1 thing from an anime universe that I want?”

Ryu thinks for a minute: “Sure I guess I can grant you at least this much…”

Lucifer thanks his lucky stars: “Okay then for my first request, I would like to have access to Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon from Nasuverse.”

Ryu tilts his head as if he is mulling it over: “Okay I guess this much is doable. I’ll even throw in making your body that of his.”

Ryu says this with a smug look on his, as if he has just saved a box of puppies from a burning building.

Lucifer: “Really?! You mean I’ll become 3/4’s of a god?!”

Ryu: “Yeah, at least you didn’t ask to become a sayian or a kryptonian or someting like that. If you did that I would have chosen another soul quicker than a premature ejaculating 45 year old man could c*m. Heck I’ll even throw in a status for you to be able to see how you’ve progressed on yourself. Kind of like how you humans view the stats of the servants. Lowest being E– and the highest will be A++, but I will make it possible for you to train one stat up to EX rank.”

Lucifer wipes the non existent sweat from his brow.

Lucifer : “Uh thanks I guess. Well, for my second request I would like to have the intelligence of Tony Stark, Henry Pym, Victor Von Doom, Bruce Wayne, and Lex Luthor.”

Ryu: “Denied, You can only choose three of the people that you have just stated.”

Lucifer thought for a few moments. If he choose Henry Pym, he would have Earth’s scientist supreme’s intelligence, but if he chose Tony’s, he would have more than just one area covered. He also knew that he had to have Bruce’s intelligence for his detective skills. He thought before finally making up his mind.

Lucifer: “I choose to have Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, and Lex Luthors’ Intelligence.”

Ryu looks puzzled at the choices Lucifer has made, so he questions him.

Ryu: “I understand the first two, but why would you choose a villains intelligence, rather than a scientist supreme’s level of intelligence like Henry Pyms’?”

Lucifer: “Henry Pym is indeed a good choice, but it has been stated that Lex Luthor has 11th level intelligence. Which might just be able to do what Pym can be able to do.”

Ryu is amazed, and genuinely shocked at this revelation. It would seem that this little soul might be able to progress not only himself in the world Ryu plans to send Lucifer too, but he also might be able to progress the civilization there.

Ryu: “Okay, two down one to go, what is your last request kid?”

Lucifer thinks for a few moments before shrugging and says: ” I would like to have the cooking skills of all the chefs in the manga Shokugeki no Soma.”

Ryu: “Granted, although it might be a weird one. Well kid I’ll be sending you down now. You will be reborn into an orphanage into the child body of Gilgamesh. Everything else you will have to figure out yourself. Oh, you will also only unlock your abilities after you turn 4. Good Luck”

Lucifer: ” Wait, what?!?! But that’s too faaaaasssss-”

Lucifer yells as he fades into the abyss

Ryu: “Well lets hope this boy can entertain me for a while.”
