Chapter 1: Epic of The Shadow Lord

"In the 13th of July, a dead body found inside an abandoned warehouse." Said the newscaster.

"More and more of these cases are occurring, I hope the police finds the suspect quickly." Now, this is our main character still alive and kicking.

(well for now until the author decides to kill him in a cliche event. Well let's introduce him, shall we?)

He is Elinox your average day to day stranger, he is currently 24 years old, 170cm tall, and 50kg in weight. A game designer who recently got promoted, he likes to watch anime, play video games, and read web novels.

"I better get my ass moving if I want a second promotion coming," Said Elinox.

As what every person do every morning, he is doing it as well. Looking at himself in front of the mirror checking if there is anything wrong with his outfit, everything seems to be in place.

Grabbing his hot chocolate to go, he doesn't like coffee, from the table he sets out work. Outside, a crystal clear sky greeted him, this day better be as good as this he thought as he left his apartment.

(It won't cause the author has great plans for him)

As he was walking, he heard a shout coming from the crossroad. It was a mother she saw her son in the middle of the busy street. No one seems to care about this everyone is busy tapping on their phones to notice the reality around other than themselves, so as a hero wannabe he rushes to push the way from harm's way.

It wasn't the same for him as he watches the headlights of a truck moving closer he tried to move faster to avoid the incoming danger. Unfortunately for him, the heavens decided to smite him with a lightning bolt eliminating all his chances of survival.

"How can this happen?" Elinox said in despair.

...

Heaven

Inside a castle made of clouds, three gods stand before a soul. It was Elinox's soul and the three gods who orchestrated his death. One was the god of faith who dozed on his job that caused his early death. Second, the god of judgment who got drunk and decided to launch lightning bolts. Third, the god of reincarnation who was lazy and left his subordinate to do his job.

"We apologize for what happened earlier we won't beat around the bush and head straight to the point, you're dead because of us so in return as per the protocol we shall give you five wishes and our blessings before sending you to the world of your choice." Said the god of reincarnation who violated the worst rule among them.

"I see, so it's already my time to be chosen," Elinox said calmly.

"You appear to be too calm about this situation it feels like you preordained that this will happen," Said the god of fate

"I agree, can you tell us how did you know," Added the god of judgment.

"It's not like that, you see I'm an 'Isekai Hardcore Fan' so I've tempered myself for this very day," Replied Elinox with a proud face.

"Ah I see, an Otaku, that explains everything, this will be troublesome," Said the three gods simultaneously

"Is there something wrong " Asked Elinox.

"No, it's just that among the 100 most troublesome people to reincarnate based on the guidelines, Otaku's are among the top 10 who always do something outrageous tipping of the balance wherever they go," Explained the god of reincarnation.

"I see so something like this already happened before," Said Elinox.

"Yes very frequently in other realities," Answered the god of judgment,

"Let's get this done with we have prolonged this conversation far too long, so what are your wishes young man and where would you want to be sent," said the god of fate.

"I wonder what world can help me create a sturdy foundation," Elinox started to filter out his options. In the end, he decided to settle on Douluo Dalu. It is a perfect world to gather a lot of versatile abilities that can help him solidify his foundations.

"I have decided, I wish to be reborn in the world of Douluo Dalu preferably as an adopted older brother of Tang San." Answered Elinox.

"Are you sure about this? Once you have decided your wish can never be revoked," The god of reincarnation asked reassuringly. Once the author posted this online it cant be changed

"Yes, I am sure. As for my first wish, I would like to keep my memories after reincarnation," Elinox used one of his wishes as a fail-safe if ever the gods decided to erase his memories, it would be catastrophic if that happens all of his plans would go haywire.

"For my second wish, I would like a custom beast spirit 'Shadow' It has the shadow summoning powers of the Shadow Monarch from Solo Levelling, An in-depth explanation of this made by the author will be available at the auxiliary chapters at a later date.

I do not know why I said that but I will continue, it will also possess the Demon bloodline from nanatzu no taizai giving the shadows demonic powers.

Not only that but it will also possess the powers of a hollow from bleach giving the shadows a death aura and an inverted-hollow mask. (Black)

It will also possess the predator ability from Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken which will allow the shadows to gain skills from the monsters they devoured." Elinox gave the gods a detailed description of how he wanted his spirit to become.

"Forgive me for underestimating you. I was to believe that you would wish for an overpowered ability but for what you have shown us I stand corrected," Said the god of judgment

"This is one of the reasons why Otaku's are a troublesome bunch," Said the god of reincarnation.

"You have played your cards well, now let us see what more can you do," Said the god of faith.

The gods thought that he managed to find loopholes from the Omni system. Truth be told it was merely a coincidence. Elinox still thinking his next wish thoroughly oblivious to the gods' thoughts.

Elinox finalized his wish and continued "For my third wish, I want a custom body spirit 'Endless Eyes' It will have the powers of Rinne-Sharingan from Naruto with the abilities of its previous dojutsu forms.

The eyes will possess a discerning ability and photographic memory like the library of heaven's path from (LOHP) with the unique skill great sage from Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken to facilitate all the knowledge gathered.

The eyes which can perceive everything to the very concept of death. To able to view the lines of death and manipulate it. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception from Kara no Kyoukai.

Since the eyes will possess space and time abilities from the Rinne-Sharingan making an empty world inside would be a problem where it can be modified using the pure spiritual energy gathered from the atmosphere, the size and the time ratio of the world can be changed depending on the rank of the user. This world shall be named Shadow Realm."

"You could have asked for twin spirits so why waste a wish," The god of fate asked curiously.

"It did come to my mind. Then I thought each wish should have a limit right, so I was wondering if I exceeded this limit would I have restrictions? That is why I have concluded to separate them while only getting the parts of the power that I needed rather than all of it." Explained Elinox.

"For my fourth wish, I would like another custom spirit. Don't look at me like that I know in other fanfics the main character has more than five. This spirit shall be called 'Chaos Lightning' don't ask I just like the sound of it.

The base will be the Goro Goro no Mi from One Piece without its weakness to saltwater. It will act as a body spirit since it will transform me into a lightning man.

Second is the Transmutation Nen called Godspeed from Hunter x Hunter. This will allow me to move in three different speed modes faster than wind, sound, and light.

I would also need a regenerative ability comparable to the fountain of youth from Nanatsu no Tazai. There will always be someone more powerful than me. I can't be too sure.

But it will cause some problems if I was to become lightning suddenly at the awakening. I think it is better if this is a tool spirit a metal vessel to be exact. Baal's Metal Vessel from Magi with its Lightning Djinn form I would be able to explain things more simply. (As a Spirit Ring Skill)" Carefully executed word by word Elinox continued his speech before the gods could interject again.

"For my final wish, I wish for a Zanpakutō from bleach imprinted with different swordsmanship skills from different realms.

Pagma's Swordsmanship from Overgeared. A blade that will allow me to cover the world in flowers that transcends Kuchiki Byakuya'sBankai 'Senbonzakura Kageyoshi in terms of beauty and lethality.

Undefeated King's Swordsmanship from Overgeared. No army shall match my blade all shall yield before its might. It does matter if it is one, ten, hundred millions all of them shall fall before my blade.

Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu from Rurouni Kenshin. A blade that will pierce the heavens. My blade shall be the embodiment of a true dragon that devours everything that blocks his path towards the dragon's gate." Stated Elinox as he imagined a black dragon coated with purple lightning-shaped roses that devours everything that comes in his way.

"Then with everything concluded we grant you our blessings, from me the god of fate 'Plot Armour' everything has a reason and that reason is you the main character of your own epic"

"From I the god of judgment you shall receive 'God's Judgement' you have been justified by the gods and so the people will instinctively put their trust on you."

"'Free Pass' That's my blessing so you could enter the cycle of reincarnation with all your memories and abilities from your previous life whenever you choose to do so"

Three Sparks imprinted themselves into Elinox's Soul. Bright light covered the realm this is where the authors magic happens to send him to the world of Douluo Dalu as a newborn child in the middle of the forest because it is the safest place in the world where a lot of dangerous beasts roam wild.
