Chapter 2: That’s so like you
"No, we didn't make a mistake. There are a few reasons why my wife chose you. One of your talents in archaeology is something that is even I'm envious of. With just a few pieces of information, you are able to easily deduce many things others haven't even thought of. And this talent of yours is very important for this mission.
Secondly, as you said you have no knowledge of the plot except for key details. This would make sure your judgment wouldn't be affected by any wrong knowledge. Remember what we are sending you is a real world. Many details may be different from what they are portrayed in the novel.
And third, it is honestly because of your mentality. When you were diagnosed with a brain tumour you didn't take it negatively like everyone else would. You know life isn't fair for everyone. So instead of wallowing in despair, you tried to enjoy the rest of the life you have left. This state of mind is very important for you to survive in the world of Fairy Tail. " the husband explained.
Although it may look like they have chosen any souls at random. In fact, they carefully chose Adrian amongst the other souls.
They didn't want to send a psychopath or an idiot to the world of fairy tail just because they wanted to change the world. They aren't that irresponsible. If they were like that then they wouldn't have been given the important duty of guarding and maintaining the cycle of reincarnation.
" So what do you say? Will accept this mission" the wife asked as her eyes were filled with excitement.
Adrian thought about it and nodded. The idea of a second life is too good of an offer for him to pass out.
" Great, now let's talk about the powers you will get. " The husband said as he clapped his hands. Soon five golden cards began to float in front of Adrian.
" You can select one of these cards. In those cards are the powers you always wanted like Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and so on.
Since it would be a hassle for us to bargain over all the powers I have already adjusted them to fit the world's rules and also to your mission needs. " The husband said as he adjusted his glasses.
" So all of these are my dream powers that would help me to kill a God, " Adrian asked again, raising one eyebrow.
" Yes, although you won't be able to kill that guy just after you get your powers. If you manage to master your powers to the limit which I'm sure you will do, you can kill him, " the wife said, clarifying what needs to be explained.
" So no instant power-ups huh " Adrian said with a bit of disappointment. Although he expected something like this would not be allowed he still couldn't help but hoped for it. Who doesn't like having power and being the strongest in a short amount of time? Those who say otherwise are just hypocrites.
"So I can choose only one huh "he asked again as he looked at the floating cards with a serious expression.
"Yes, you can only choose one. But don't worry no matter what ability you get you will already have the ability and potential to kill Ankhseram. "The wife said as she comforted him with a smile.
Adrian took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He then stretched his hand forward and took hold of one card. Slowly he brought it closer to him. After that, he opened his eyes and finally flipped the card to see which power he would get.
"Receiving Magic: can receive powers from characters from other anime universes. The stronger one's body is the more power the user can receive. Without having the necessary physical strength the user may get injured. The time this magic takes depends on the user's proficiency and magic power. The total number of anime characters that the user is able to use is 3.
Notice: has a certain chance of obtaining and activating the character's passive skills without the use of receiving magic. " Adrian read aloud.
" Oh, that's a good one. If you manage to select the perfect characters then your journey will be way easier. " the husband said as he thought about it.
Receiving magic is one of the best magic one could have since if the user managed to make a contract with a powerful person then even for a moment the user could use the full power of the contracted person. In a fight that single moment may be enough to run away or end the battle.
" So what are the characters you are going to choose? " the wife asked as her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Hmm "Adrian began to think about it. Since his mission is to kill a God of death, so he obviously needs to choose someone who has the power and has already killed a God first.
And when it comes to God Slayers the anime Campione is the first one one would remember. Then after that comes the Fate series which has a ton of characters who had once killed Gods and obtained the title God Slayer.
But none of them had once killed a God of Death; he had to reluctantly cross them away from the list. That's when he remembered an anime character that is so badass that he was even called the Demon king tyranny.
' If it is that guy then my chances of defeating Ankhseram would be much higher. 'Adrian thought as his smile widened.
"My first choice is Anos Voldigoad, The Demon King tyranny. From the Misfit of the Demon King Academy, " Adrian said he said his first choice.
"Hmm, an interesting choice. Becoming a demon to fight a God huh " the husband said as he rubbed his chin. He then looked at Adrian and gave a thumbs up, "Congrats your choice is something I approve of. although you may need a few years to actually draw out that guy's full power if you really managed to do it then there is no doubt you could kill Ankhseram "
"So who is the second one you are going to choose? " the wife asked as she had her expectations high.
"Well for my second choice I will choose Rimuru Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime, " Adrian said without even bothering to think again. Everybody knows how overpowered that guy could get in a short time. And in the world of Fairy Tail, there are numerous magic spells that are quite overpowered. And with Rimuru's ability to adapt and analyze everything Adrian can be sure he would be standing at the top of the power scale in a few years.
" Hmm, that's a good choice too. But which version of Rimuru are you talking about? The one where he became the supreme deity or the one where he became a true dragon " the husband asked.
"Well, it is obviously one where he became a supreme deity. That way I have another trump card against Ankhseram, " Adrian said.
"Okay then what is your last choice " the husband asked as he noted down the things he would need to add.
To this, Adrian had a smile and answered, "I want my last choice to be Gold D Roger from One Piece. "
"Why him though? You could pick Whitebeard or even Luffy as both of them have the most powerful devil fruits that would be more helpful to you "the wife asked as she couldn't do this.
"Haha well, this is because I really want Roger's Voice of All things. As an archaeologist, I really envy his skill in understanding ancient relics by hearing their story. " Adrian said with a wry chuckle.
"That's so like you "The husband nodded as he agreed with Adrian's reasoning.
