Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Bored ROB and lucky soul.

Do you know how soul matter bends when it breaks?

Of course you don't. You're mortal. Finite. Predictable. That's the worst part about you people, really — the predictability. For a while, you're all fire and passion, driven by hormones, drama, or hunger. Then comes fear, regret, and decay.

But occasionally… occasionally…A soul catches my attention.

Not because it's powerful — no, I could create a trillion suns brighter than your most sacred warrior with a passing thought. It's about flavor. About the way a soul responds when everything it knows is stripped away.

That's why I snatched this one.

Some twenty-something human, brain fried on anime and isekai novels, died in a wet little car crash on a rainy Earth highway. Instant. Messy. Forgettable.

And yet, when I plucked his soul mid-transition, there was... spice.

Someone with nothing to regret but also stuck in the dullness of his life.

He didn't scream. He didn't beg. He thought.

> "If this is death, then where's the light?"

How poetic. I could work with that.

I materialized a pocket of existence to set the mood — swirling galaxies, old drama masks, fragments of forgotten dreams stitched together with the smell of stars.

And there I was, lounging on a throne made from concepts your science hasn't even invented yet, when the little soul began to stabilize.

> "Ah," I said, twirling a newborn nebula between my fingers. "You're awake."

His soul reformed quickly — good sign. That meant I could push him harder without him unraveling.

He looked around, eyes wide, breath quick. Still holding together.

> "You're... not God," he muttered.

> "Please," I yawned, "don't insult me. 'God' is such a narrow title. Let's stick with something fun. Call me ROB. Random Omnipotent Being. Has a nice modern ring to it."

I could practically feel the gears turning in his head. Otaku brain, absolutely — running through every isekai story he'd ever read, trying to make sense of where he was.

Delightful.

> "Am I getting reincarnated? Do I get, you know…. wishes?" he asked slowly.

I smirked. He was holding it together well.

> "Three," I said, holding up fingers made of starlight. "Standard package. Soul was dull, death was boring, so now I'm giving you a shot at reincarnation. Think of it as a... creative experiment. Or therapy. Or entertainment."

Mine, of course.

> "Which world?" he asked — sharp, already on strategy.

Oh, I liked this one.

> "Naruto," I answered with a chuckle. "Full chakra buffet, plenty of war and trauma, and more eye powers than common sense."

He actually grinned — there it was. That flicker of joy, that twisted little thrill. He was in.

The first wish came fast.

> "I want a self-creation ability," he said. "To create bloodlines, abilities, powers, even races — using equivalent energy as the cost."

Oh ho ho. Now that's a proper sandboxer request.

> "Approved," I said, scribbling it into his soul like a cheat code.

Second wish?

> "Give me energy — enough to create five omega-level powers."

Now that made me chuckle.

> "Greedy, greedy," I said. "But you're squishy. Your current form can only handle about three. So that's what you'll get. Three omegas' worth of creative juice."

He looked frustrated, but I respected the restraint. Most souls whine or try to renegotiate.

And then came the third wish. This one... got my full attention.

> "A multiversal group chat system," he said. "One that connects me to characters across anime, games, movies, series… anyone you're willing to plug in."

I blinked. Then laughed. Out loud.

> "You little chaos gremlin," I said. "That's a new one."

I reached into the threads of existence, pulled out a dormant admin shard from an old web-of-realities experiment, and wove it into his conceptual frame.

> "Granted. With moderation. Can't have you blowing your mind talking to Cthulhu just yet."

---

He stood tall now — calm, composed. The fear was gone. All that remained was focus.

How beautiful. He was going to be so much fun to watch.

> "You're ready then?" I asked.

He nodded. "I am."

So I snapped my fingers.

Light and shadow wrapped around his soul, preparing to hurl him into the Naruto universe. But before I let him go, I added... a little twist.

> "Oh, one last thing," I said. "I've made a few edits. Some little tweaks, trust me you will like them. Unlocked a bit more... creativity. Chaos. Conflict."

He looked at me sharply.

> "Wha-"

He opened his mouth to protest, but the dimensional gate was already pulling him through.

> "Enjoy the ride, my little wildcard," I whispered. "I've prepared a twist in your Leaf Village experience you'll never see coming."

And then — he was gone.

---

I slumped back in my throne with a grin, watching the screen of fate shimmer to life.

Oh, this one was going to be fun. I could already hear the background music swelling.

Let the mayhem begin.
