"Damn, another ad... seriously?"
The annoyed voice belongs to Nathan, an ordinary young man with no particular story.
Today is the weekend. He had planned to play an online game with friends.
A mundane but pleasant routine.
Especially for a young medical student who doesn't have much time to organize outings with friends.
"Damn... why now?"
Normally, an ad wouldn't be a problem.
It's just that it had interrupted him during an important moment of the game loading.
An annoying situation.
And no, he hadn't activated the ad blocker.
A human oversight.
"I'm gonna have to start all over again," he muttered while using the computer mouse...
'Crap, I misclicked.'
The ad had redirected him to a strange site offering... a new life in exchange for a simple survey.
"What idiot created this thing? An online scam attempt?" he grumbled for a moment, before trying to leave the platform.
Without success.
Despite the obvious risks of phishing or worse, his computer wouldn't leave this suspicious platform.
He tried to turn it off, but it automatically returned to the strange platform.
A supernatural phenomenon.
"I... is this really the famous suspicious reincarnation site from certain novels and fanfics?!"
Nathan's frustration and bad mood disappeared like a passing illusion, as excitement took its place.
He immediately agreed to participate in the website's survey, while eating some food.
Yes, Nathan prepares food in advance before long gaming hours.
He knows very well he'll be too lazy to go cook in the middle of the game or at the end.
"Huh? A universe I like... I like Mushoku Tensei and Re:Zero... Well, I'll take DxD."
Unable to choose between the two works, he split the difference by taking another story he appreciated.
The next question was to choose his race.
A long list appeared before Nathan's eyes, who had a shocked face looking at the intimidating size of the available catalog.
After scrolling through the list for a while, he finally found the race he desired.
God.
He hesitated with dragon, but ended up choosing this race in the end.
Why?
He just likes knowing he's worshipped by mortals.
A childish reason, but the truth is almost everyone would like to become a god.
A reality.
"My divine domain? This will influence available or created powers..."
Nathan spent a moment thinking, to finally take the domain of death.
He didn't choose it randomly, he had watched too many stories of wars or murders recently.
Instinctively, he found death control sufficiently effective in a fictional world.
Especially since he finds it's a versatile and useful power.
After this selection, the platform asked him what "cheat" he desired.
Of course, he didn't hesitate.
"I'll stick with the death theme, so I want a multiversal or even higher level death system."
There seemed to be a bug in the platform, but it was temporary and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After creating his cheat, he had to select the era of his reincarnation or appearance.
He specified reincarnation, but with memory recovery 4 years after birth.
He specified that he should appear during the era of Greek mythology heroes.
'It would be stupid to appear directly at canon.'
He definitely plans to make the most of all his time.
Finally, he arrived at the last part.
Customize his appearance and add traits that would influence his life.
Of course, he could choose no traits, and if he put too many or one too powerful, then he would have a penalty.
Nathan used Alone from the Saint Seiya world as a model, because he always found the character charismatic.
He didn't just add traits related to his painting talent or appearance, but he added stuff related to... combat.
The only penalty he got with these traits was "hypocrite" .
"So... how do we arrange the reincarnation? *boom*"
Nathan had guessed right.
It was indeed the famous suspicious website, Truck-kun's best friend.
…
…
The Underworld.
It's a dimension where human souls go after their death.
But that doesn't just sum it up.
This realm is ruled by several factions or divine pantheons, because there isn't a single god completely controlling this place.
The arrival of devils and fallen angels didn't help unify the underworld under a single god.
At least, until now.
Boom.
In Hades' palace, a woman had just given birth to a child.
Despite this happy event, her experience didn't contain only joy,
but also worry.
"W... why does he look like that?!"
The child wasn't born in human or humanoid form, like the gods and goddesses of Olympus.
He literally looks like a galaxy.
While Persephone worried about her husband's reaction,
an explosion of light and divine energy flooded the Greek King of the Underworld's palace.
Plunging it into an atmosphere of death.
The child, who had previously emitted a mystical and distant atmosphere, had changed.
He was now a magnificent blonde baby, with sky-blue eyes.
Anyone would see that this child was a striking contrast to the disturbing aura he diffused.
"I... is this really my child?"
Persephone no longer worried about Hades' reaction, because the aura emitted by the child was similar to his on several levels.
The problem didn't come from his striking appearance either, which could delight the hearts of Mount Olympus goddesses.
The thing that now worried Persephone was the child's strength.
He's stronger than her husband!
"I must hide this..."
Hades would know about the child's power sooner or later, it was inevitable for Persephone.
She's literally in his domain, after all.
However, Zeus must never learn his true powers.
Unaware of the real gravity of the situation, Persephone's maternal love pushed her to be enterprising.
She used the artifact offered by her mother to discreetly reach the surface world.
Her husband had already found an agreement with his father and mother, but he always balked at letting her leave.
That's why she received this from her mother, from Olympus.
'There, I almost can't sense your presence anymore.'
Normally, this should have stifled the presence of the divinity wearing the necklace.
But... the child was too strong.
Even with Persephone's necklace, his presence dropped to find balance at the peak of high-class devil level.
In the end, the necklace will break one day.
'By then, you must surpass Zeus and your father.'
"...Sorry, you won't be able to meet many people, let alone the gods of your generation... *sniff* Your name will be Alone... *sniff* You'll have to stay "alone" at the top one day."
