《I Reincarnated As The Universe》
1: Truck-kun
I''ve never seen color.
I''ve never seen my face.
I''ve never seen my family.
I''ve never seen my friends.
I''ve never seen anything except darkness.
I was born blind.
It disappointed my parents.
It disappointed my siblings.
But they still took care of me.
They loved me for who I am.
Being blind may sound like a punishment.
But for me, it was an opportunity.
An opportunity to use my imagination.
An opportunity to hone my other senses.
If I had a wish that could be fulfilled, it would be to become someone strong.
Someone people can depend on.
Someone that saves lives.
Someone that wards off all evil.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
You''ve probably read stories, picture-books, and watched movies with superheroes.
But for me? I''ve only heard of it through my friends and family.
I don''t feel it''s worth it, to pay money for something I can only hear, but not see.
I''ve never read anything.
My mother does that for me.
She reads it out loud while sitting on my bed.
Due to that, it is possible for me to imagine a lot of fantasies and dreams.
But of course, I wouldn''t know if any of them is anywhere near the real deal.
My favorite types of reads are Japanese, Korean and Chinese light novels.
Whether it''s typical Martial Arts, Slice of Life or Fantasy, they all pique my interest.
Every story has its own protagonist. I only like the ones that have a good protagonist.
Of course, I couldn''t read. I''m blind.
My mother does that for me as I said. Sometimes my siblings do as well.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I''m Autumn. Autumn Hall to be precise.
Currently, I''m in the 3rd year of high school together with my younger sister.
The bell rings. The day is over.
My sister guides me out of the school.
I''m actually quite sensitive when it comes to my sister.
She''s been taking care of me for years now.
She''s never abandoned me.
She''s someone I can depend on.
She''s someone I want to be like.
We walk down the street until we reach the traffic lights.
Of course, I can''t really see it, but my sister tells me where we are.
That''s what she usually does.
It helps me keep my thoughts organized.
Don''t ask why though.
The lights are green, and we walk across the street.
-toot, toot, toot-
Out of nowhere, I hear the horn from a vehicle.
It sounds like a truck.
-bang-
I don''t actually feel the impact.
But it is quite ironic.
I get run over by a truck.
What better way could I possibly end my life?
I may not have told you, but my favorite thing about novels is the transmigration ones.
Especially when the protagonist gets run down by a truck.
Truck-kun. That''s what people call them. The trucks.
You''d probably think I''d be sad that I died?
Not really. I''ve never seen my family or friends.
Therefore I don''t have an image imprinted in my mind of them.
I only know their voices. That''s all.
I try to move my body, but I can''t feel anything.
There''s no smell either.
Neither are there any sounds like there should be.
It feels weird.
2: Reincarnation
I feel heat surge through me.
I feel lots of heat.
But it doesn''t hurt.
It feels relaxing.
A sound.
A sound of an explosion.
Perhaps a really large explosion.
But I''m not scared.
It doesn''t feel like the explosion will do harm to me.
It sort of feels friendly.
Like it''s a part of me.
But how could an explosion be a part of me?
Well, I don''t know.
It''s not like I''m a theorist or a genius.
I get this weird feeling.
It feels like I''m constantly expanding.
It''s hard to describe with words alone.
It''d be hard to know what it feels like if you haven''t tried it yourself.
I''ll try to describe it.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
If you were a balloon and were blown up by someone.
That''s how it feels.
Except, it feels like I''m not stopping the expansion.
Perhaps my body will explode with a pop like a balloon?
The heat is constantly revolving around in my body.
But my body shape doesn''t feel like it should?
It feels like one big blob.
It feels like something that isn''t human.
Something without limbs, eyes, mouth, and ears.
Perhaps I''ve reincarnated as a slime?
They''re usually described as a blob.
But yet again, it doesn''t feel right.
It wouldn''t make sense to be reincarnated right?
Science won''t allow for such a thing to happen.
I wait for a long time before anything happens.
I can open my eyes!
I can actually see something!!!
But, it''s not on earth...
At least that''s not what I think.
My siblings always told me that what I see is the color black.
Or in other words. I see nothing.
They often talked about stars, planets, and space.
They said that I''d know what space looks like at first glance.
Because space is nothing. But at the same time, it''s everything.
It''s black, with white dots everywhere.
But what is white?
I don''t know.
Perhaps it is what I see before me now?
A black background with dots placed in random places.
Perhaps white is the color I see now?
Perhaps this is what people call a starry sky?
Either way, it''s beautiful.
Much more exotic compared to the constant darkness I''ve seen for years.
What''s weird is, it feels like everything around me is part of me.
It''s like I''m actually looking inside my own body.
It feels like I know what''s happening in every corner of me.
Perhaps my senses have been upgraded?
I feel chaos.
I feel destruction.
I feel creation.
I can''t describe the feelings I''m getting.
I just know what they are.
At the same time, It feels like my body is strengthening constantly, without me doing anything.
It''s like I''ve got a cheat in a game, that constantly gives me buffs.
At the same time, the feeling of constantly expanding is slowing down a little.
Actually it doesn''t matter what I feel.
I just want to know what''s happening around me.
I just want to know what''s going on.
I just want to know what I''m seeing!
Suddenly something pops up in front of me.
It has words on it.
But even though I''ve never learned how to read, I can understand what it says.
-The Book On How To Be The Universe-
That''s what it says.
Perhaps I have really reincarnated?
But how could I have possibly been reincarnated as the universe?
It doesn''t make sense.
The universe is already 13.7 billion years old!
Unless... I''ve time-traveled?
3.1: The Book On How To Be The Universe
So you want to know how to be the Universe, right?
Well, you''ve come to the right place. Or should I say you''re reading the right book, haha.
First of all, you''re the universe. You''re everything.
Everything within the universe is you, and you are everything within the universe. Same thing.
Since you wanted to be someone that can be depended on, I thought I''d do an experiment.
And that was to make you the universe!
Now every living creature depends on you to continue surviving!
Because a human brain like yours can''t store enough information, I''ve given you some perks.
Who doesn''t get some perks when they reincarnate...right?
Anyway, what I''m saying is, that I''ve modified your brain capacity to the maximum.
So from now on, no matter how much your main body expand, you''ll always know what''s going on in every corner of you...the universe.
On top of that, you''ll keep a cool head, and there will never be a point in time your brain will overheat.
Well, that''s obvious since everything in the universe is technically your brain now.
Also, because you wanted to be someone strong, you can even create, destroy and cause chaos.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
It all depends on what choices you make, and in which direction you want the universe to go.
There are some downsides to all of this as well.
As the saying goes; "There''s never anything in this world that''s free."
Your emotions have drastically been reduced. It''s almost non-existent.
So no matter what you do, it won''t affect your emotions.
But hey, look on the positive side, you''re now what you wanted to be right? haha.
Well, since you actually don''t know what your abilities are, I will walk through them.
---
First of all; Creation
This skill can be used to create anything. No matter what it is, it''s possible to create with this skill. If you want a TV to watch your favorite show, or you want a grand palace made of otherworldly materials, then it is possible through this skill.
Second of all; Destruction
This skill can be used to destroy anything. Even yourself, so do be careful, since I spent quite an amount of energy to make this happen. If you want your crush''s girlfriend gone, then BOOM, you can use this skill to disintegrate her. Of course, it can be used for self-defense as well. If a creature becomes too powerful within the universe, you can instantly cause destruction.
Third of all; Chaos
As the name implies, it creates chaos. The harshness of the chaos all depends on what you want. For example; if you want someone to slip on a banana and fall into another person to create real-life domino, then that''s what this skill can be used for. However, if you want the whole universe or a galaxy to fall into a state of chaos, that can be done as well.
---
There''s actually another perk I forgot to tell you about.
You also rule over time itself.
However, the disadvantage is, you can''t go forward in time...only backward.
That''s a mistake on my end, but it''s impossible for me to fix
Actually, the Creation skill won''t be needed to create planets and living creatures.
Let evolution take its course.
Of course, if you want to, it is possible to create planets and such.
Creation, Destruction, and Chaos are the main skills that you can use for an unlimited amount of times until you self destruct or cease to exist.
If you want new skills, think about how to get them.
As for now, if you want to take a look at your status, then just think ''Status''.
Of course, what you should be doing, is actually just whatever you want.
If you want to explore (even though you wouldn''t need to), then just do that.
Anyway, if you need any help, just call me on; #!/2)##&[+
3.2: The Book On How To Be The Universe
Oh, I almost forgot this!
Because you were blind once, I''ve restored your vision. Don''t need to thank me though.
However, if you actually decide to go blind again, then be my guest, haha.
Of course, you can alter your vision to your liking, doesn''t really matter.
Since you''re now the universe, you have control over everything, both living and non-living.
There''s also another thing I forgot to mention on the first page!
Time. Time moves much faster for you than any other living creature.
This is a result of the experimentation that I did, so you don''t have to suffer as I did.
Of course, if you want time to slow down to the standard time you used, then just do so.
However, I''m warning you. It''ll be torture!
Don''t forget, you can also speed time up.
And yes, if you''re wondering, you have time-traveled back in time to the beginning of what is now you...haha congrats!
Well, now it''s time for you to experiment a little, so I''ll leave you to it.
Best regards, the previous will of the Universe.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
So I have time traveled.
Perhaps the old Universe got tired?
I can imagine that. 13.7 billion years of living.
I would be tired as well.
Doesn''t everyone want to live forever?
Like in every single novel, people fight for immortality?
And this old Universe just gave that up, and gave it to me?
Not that I''m gonna complain, but he''s definitely generous.
Or he was just that tired.
Since he told me to check my status, I might as well do that.
¡¸Status.¡¹
[Name: Autumn Hall][Age: 10 000]
[Species: Universe]
[Titles: -]
[Time Scale: 1 : 1 000]
[Major Skills]:
- Creation.
- Destruction.
- Chaos.
[Minor Skills]:
-
¡¸Eh?¡¹
10 000 years old already?!?
How''s it possible that time moves that fast!
It is indeed like what the older Universe has written.
Time does move so much quicker for me than before.
However... now I feel like I''m some old immortal Grandma.
But, I am grateful, since it would''ve been torture to live through year after year like ''he'' did.
Now that I think about it...10 000 years aren''t long.
Not compared to how old I can become.
And it will take long for life to develop with the current environment of me.
Either way, that minor skill section.
Perhaps that''s something I can use the ''Creation'' skill to?
He did mention I can create everything with it.
So skills shouldn''t be impossible...right?
Either way, back to something else.
Although I like having sight, I actually do feel more comfortable being blind...oddly enough.
It''s just so familiar, that it''s something I don''t actually want to let go of it.
Most people would probably want their sight, but I don''t.
At least not the commonly used sight, that humans and animals have.
No, I want to only see energies. Good energies, neutral energies, and bad energies.
In other words, all the different energies within me (universe).
You may scold me.
You may call me dumb.
You may facepalm at my decision.
You may wish for me to stop myself from returning to being blind.
But I don''t care about your opinion.
4: Skill Creation
It went smoother than I had thought.
The darkness descended upon me once again.
However, this time, the darkness wasn''t alone.
Many different colors could be seen floating around.
They were most likely the energies.
They were like different mists intertwined with each other.
But, I didn''t know the name of the colors themselves.
I just knew they were beautiful.
Beautiful compared to the darkness I saw before.
Either way, it doesn''t actually matter if I can see now that I''m the universe.
I can feel every movement, and I can control every creature.
So what significance does it make to not be able to see?
Or at least see like a human...
Back to the Minor Skills.
First of all, there''s a lot of useful skills that I could use.
One of them could be, Incarnation Descent?
But for that, I need a body...or rather an incarnation.
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Blessed Body.¡¹
¡¸Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Blessed Body.¡¹
Without a sound, a body magically appeared in front of me.
Remember, up until now, I''ve only been able to see.
I didn''t have a body at all if you exclude the Universe of course.
Because I am the Universe and the Universe is my main body.
The blessed body would probably be the strongest living being...only next to my main body of course.
So, of course, I''d have to get a clone skill.
A clone skill, to clone my blessed body with half or a quarter of the power of the original.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
That way, once someone in the future gets extremely strong, I could have a fight with them!
I don''t really believe they will be strong enough to challenge my Blessed Body though.
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Clone.¡¹
¡¸Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Clone.¡¹
What else could I use?
Perhaps Enchant?
It would be useful for weapons, clothing and such.
Even though I might not need it, I might as well create it.
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Enchant.¡¹
¡¸Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Enchant.¡¹
Now, although the Blessed Body I created exists, it doesn''t have a soul or anything alike.
So perhaps a possessing skill would be useful in a case like this?
I''m not entirely sure, so I''ll have to experiment with it.
And even if it doesn''t work, I can always use Destruction to get rid of unwanted skills and the like.
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Possess.¡¹
¡¸Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Possess.¡¹
There''s a lot of skills that I can use, however, I''ll only ever be able to find out as time goes on.
Well, back to my blessed body.
Although you may not know, I do.
Because I called it the Blessed Body, it is technically indestructible.
Of course, it can still be destroyed, but a new one will appear in its stead.
It''s a pretty useful function if I do have to say so myself.
Either way, let''s try to possess my Blessed Body with my conscience.
¡¸Use Minor Skill: Possess to possess the Blessed Body.¡¹
Without much delay, I felt my mind move into the head of the body.
I tried to move my limbs, and it felt amazing.
It felt amazing to have a body once again, even if only 10-15 minutes passed by as me existing as a blob.
Of course, that''s still 15 000 years for everything else.
My vision is still the same which is good.
My body...doesn''t have a gender?
Oh well, I can create another skill in this case.
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Modify.¡¹
¡¸Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Modify.¡¹
I don''t even have to do much at all.
It''s fine though because I''ve always been kind of lazy.
So I don''t really mind it that much.
¡¸Use Minor Skill: Modify to change my body into that of a woman.¡¹
Instantly I felt the Blessed Body change shape.
It was the same feeling as when I automatically expand in my main body.
It felt nice.
I feel around my body, and notice the butt has become richer while my chest has become plumb.
However...I don''t have any clothing.
How can someone be seen without clothing?
Well obviously when you''re in a bath, but wouldn''t it be embarrassing?
¡¸Use Major Skill: Creation to create a set of robes.¡¹
Surprisingly I don''t even have to put it on, as it appears silently on the Blessed Body.
Although I can''t actually see anything, I thought of white robes.
Perhaps it is a casual outfit, perhaps not.
It depends on who sees it and who wears it.
But a big reason is, It''s one of the only colors I know the name of...or at least can guess the name of.
¡¸Use Minor Skill: Enchant, to buff the defense of these robes to the maximum.¡¹
As soon as I finished the sentence, I could see all the different energies in space fly towards me.
However, as soon as they came in contact with me, or rather the robes, they got absorbed.
Another minute passed by, and the surrounding energies stop being absorbed.
Although the Blessed Body''s defense is insanely high (basically the embodiment of the universe...duh) you can never be too careful.
Perhaps I''m weird.
Perhaps I''m overprotective of this body.
I don''t know.
All I know is, I want to be prepared for the day someone strong arrives at my doorstep.
Even though it''ll first happen in millions if not billions of years.
I look down at myself.
To my surprise, I can actually see the outline of my body due to it having absorbed energies from the surroundings.
The same with my robes.
They were all apparent to me.
However, it''s still frustrating.
My robes and my body are two different colors of energies, but I don''t know the name of either of them...
5: Eyecatching Galaxies
It''s weird.
It''s weird that you can see everything that''s happening inside you.
I''m not going to complain about it...because I kind of like it.
Wouldn''t you also like to know all the wonders your body was doing unconsciously?
However, the difference between a human body and the Universe as your body is power.
But it''s not like I''m going to become corrupted from power.
Getting more power would also take time for me, so I''ll be able to adapt.
I''ll take things one step at a time.
There''s something I''ve noticed only now.
There are already hundreds of galaxies within me.
However, there are some of them that stand out.
To be more precise, 4 of them stand out.
One of them is filled with darkness.
It is devoid of anything.
There are no stars.
There are no planets.
There''s nothing.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!
Nothing exists except complete and utter darkness.
It reminds me of me, back on earth with my vision.
I also saw nothing but darkness, except when I began to imagine.
However, even then, my imaginations didn''t actually have color.
Because I wasn''t able to see...duh.
Well back to the galaxies.
The second one was different compared to the first one.
You could say, the first one could be summed up with two words...The Abyss.
However, this one was the complete opposite.
Billions of stars and planets existed in this galaxy.
What stood out the most was something entirely else though.
Surprisingly plant life had already arrived.
Well, if I were to be more precise...half the galaxy was covered in lush plants and oceans.
While the other...mmm.
It was full of lava, flames, and inexhaustible heat.
Two starkly different environments.
If you were to compare it to something, it would most likely be heaven and hell.
One side filled with lush plants, crystal clear oceans, sunny environment.
While the other...filled with barren lands, constant heat, volcanos spewing magma.
A very stark difference.
Funny enough, it was extremely weird.
Who would have thought, that not long after I became the Universe, plantlife and environments were already forming?
The third one was definitely weird.
Compared to the other two galaxies, this one was smaller.
Although smaller, it appeared to be more condensed, resulting in an overwhelming presence.
A completely different kind of energy roamed throughout everything in this galaxy.
If I were to describe it, it felt extremely pure.
It almost felt like it came straight out of a novel.
It had planets of all kinds of environments, however, most of them actually represented Earth.
The pure energy was most likely what Cultivators use to strengthen themselves.
Let''s just call it Spiritual Energy for the sake of it.
The fourth one...felt like it came straight out of a fairytale.
Although no living beings were present, it had this sort of magical feel to it.
It felt like magic roamed everywhere.
I could easily imagine wizards, witches, dragons, elves...all kinds of fantasy characters live in such a fantasy-like place.
When I was little, although my mother and sister did read fairytales, it wasn''t often.
However, my friends told me a lot of different fairytales and supernatural stories.
All of them included either magic, godhood, cultivation or superheroes.
Of course, my mother and sister did read such stories out loud as well, they were just not as good.
Now...I''ll have to think about my next step.
4 different galaxies, and a lot of possibilities.
