The Afterlife Tournament
The chapter starts at a normal 40° celcius afternoon in the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, there we can see our protagonist Lucas, a kinda tall teenage boy with dark hair, as he walked home tired after a long school day at water-taster elective classes.
As Lucas walked, he noticed a black cat with green eyes in the middle of the street, and an approaching truck about to hit him, so moving as fast as a sedentary teen could, Lucas pushed the cat out of the way, if it was a kid he would probaly let it die but cats are cute.
As the truck made contact with his body, Lucas bumped against the ground, feeling almost numb to the pain due to the thoughts in his mind.
'That's it it's over' Thought Lucas as his vision started to slowly get blurry, his mind oblivious to whatever was happening on his surroundings. 'I am not really sad or scared huh? I guess i am just... disapointed at myself. I am gonna die without ever finding love, without anyone that will miss me... well at least nobody will be sad i'm gone'
As his last words, he said the only sentence his mind could potentialy think of in a moment like that.
"Dança Gatinho Dança"
And his vision blacked out completely, this was the early death of an autistic teen who never had much motivation due to his hatred for the world he lived.
*Timeskip: In the Afterlife*
Lucas saw himself as a silhouete of gray energy, surrounded by many other forms of energy, some of them were golden or red but most of them were gray like him, he assumed this meant if a soul in the afterlife was good, evil or neutral, due to the small number of golden souls he assumed those were the good ones.
Suddenly a massive humanoid figure appeared, it's looks ressembling the Celestial Starbeard from Ben 10 Omniverse, as it floated above the souls it started to speak telepathicaly into their minds.
'Salutions souls of the newly dead, my true name does not matter but you can call me Chaos, and all of you are newly desceased beings' Said the Starbeard, now known as Chaos. 'I have brought all of you here for a once in an eternity chance, a battle royale tournament where all of you will fight each other for a special prize for the ones who get the further'
As Chaos said this, he snapped his fingers as all souls were transported to different places in what looked like a massive city, with Lucas spawning inside an empty house as he noticed he now had an actual body, he was taller than his previous life, his still black hair went down to his neck and covered one of his now pale-yellow eyes. It wad when a voice sounded in his head:
'New body downloaded, all competitors recieved bodies fit for the competition, so none can count on any advantages they had in their original lives' Said the voice that Lucas assumed was some kind of RPG-Style Gamer System simmilar to the ones in novels, probaly made to guide the competitors in the tournament. 'You have recieved a Ticket to define what power, weapon or bloodline you will have in the tournament, you can gain more tickets by defeating enemies and also take any items they may have, use the ticket now? Yes/No'
'Yes' Said Lucas in his mind as a roulette appeared in front of him and started spinning, until it stopped and the system spoke once again.
'You have obtained Monkey King Power' Said the system as it uploaded the information on how to use this power into Lucas's mind.

'The powers of Sun Wukong huh? I am gonna enjoy this' Said Lucas in his mind with a smile, due to lacking the monkey king's signature weapon he pulled one of his hair strands and used the [Body Outside of Body] to transform it into a cludgel like the original Ryui Jingu Bang.
'3... 2... 1... START!' Said the System voice in Lucas's head as he jumped trough a window and climbed to the ceeling of the house he was inside, he scanned the area using his [Fiery Golden Eyes] as he saw two people fighting nearby, one of them had just a normal katana as the other had Captain America's shield, with Lucas taking a powerful leap and landing between them.
The one with the katana, which had a terrible Luck in Lucas's opinion as while he had the powers of pretty much a god this guy only had a normal sword, tried to swing his weapon against Lucas but the autistic turned monkey king was able to block it with his cludgel and disarm the oponent, while hitting the shield guy with a rising kick that was too fast to be blocked, knocking the shield off his hands.
Using his [72 Earthly Transformations] Skill, Lucas then transformed into a giant Koma-Inu and with his paws he completely destroyed the two, also taking the shield due to it's vibranium composure being undeniably useful.
As he turned into his Monkey King form for better mobility, the system sent him another notification.
'You obtained two more tickets, use them? Yes/ No'
'Yes' Thought Lucas as two roulettes appeared and started spinning, after a while they stopped.
'You have obtained Divine Dividing'
'You have obtained Master Sword'
'Nice' Thought Lucas while the information on how to use his new weapon and Sacred Gear got uploaded into his mind. Lucas then summoned Divine Dividing as metallic-looking white and blue dragon wings appeared on his back and he set flight.
Time Skip
After a while, most competitors had fallen and Lucas had obtained some new powers and items.

He also took the time to use his [Avoidance Charms Creation] Skill in order to create charms to protect himself from elemental attacks.
Now we can see Lucas in his Monkey King form with his Divine Dividing wings out as he flies after the last competitor he must kill.
Lucas quickly detected the last oponent, it was a tall buff guy with brown short hair wearing an outfit simmilar to Bane's without the mask, Lucas was able to even see the Venom drug being pumped into his body.
Lucas was flying above the guy and started going down with a haki and chi coated fist being slammed against the buff guy.
-Monkey King's Iron Fist!- Yelled Lucas as he hit the oponent's head with the momentum from his fall cusing a crater to open below them.
Lucas flew inches above the ground as he looked to his oponent, who got up with a bleeding nose and glared at Lucas, slamming a fist against the monkey king who blocked it with his shield.
'This guy is strong, at least compared to everyone i killed, this will be intresting Worororororororo' Laughed mentaly Lucas as his sacred gear activated.
[DIVIDE!]
The brunette then felt himself grow weaker as half his power was passed to Lucas, who then summoned his Boosted Gear.
[BOOST!]
Lucas then had his power doubled as he hit the bulky guy with his cludgel sending him flying meters away.
-Sword Birth!- Said the guy activating his own sacred gear as various swords rose from the ground, he grabbed two of them and swinged them against Lucas who blocked it with Master Sword, before hitting the guy with a kick.
[DIVIDE!]
[BOOST!]
The guy was once again weakened as Lucas grew stronger, Lucas then fired a boosted chi blast at the guy's Venom storing compartment destroying it, stopping his oponent from pumping more of the drug into himself.
The oponent ran torwards Lucas at full speed but the monkey king pointed at him and used the [Body Freezing Spell], paralyzing his body as our protagonist did an uppercut against the oponent causing him to be sent to the sky.
[DIVIDE!]
[BOOST!]
Lucas then pointed his hands against the buff guy, chi forming on their palms as he puts his hands together.
-Monkey King Kamehameha!- Lucas fired a blast of yellow chi against his oponent who took it while falling on the ground.
-Mongolian Fireball!- Lucas then put his hand against his oponent's face and shoved a fireball down his mouth, exploding the guy's head. -I won! Worororororororororo!
As Chaos reapears infront of Lucas and all bodies of the dead competitors disapear, Lucas looks at the celestialsapien-looking god while turning off his Sacred Gears and Monkey King Form.
'Lucas Marvelous, you won the tournament, and now you get the right of reincarnating in any world you desire' Said Chaos. 'You also have as many wishes as you want, since this new world will be basicaly your personal playground even if you die again you won't be punnished for anything you do with this new life'
Lucas was shocked at this, normaly it goes from 3 to 5 wishes in isekai stories so being able to do as many as he pleases seems surreal, but he would make sure he didn't overdo anyway, after thinking for a while he made the following wishes.
. To keep all the powers, bloodlines and items he has gained in the tournament.
. For the power to go to any world he pleases by merging with versions of himself in those worlds, in a way that the time freezes in any worlds he leaves and only flows again when he returns.
. For an RPG Style Gamer System that would be the ultimate system from any isekai.
. To have the powers of Amazo from the DCAU and Taskmaster from Marvel Universe.
. To have his Luck and Charisma stats improved.
. To any world he visits have zero cockroaches at all.
. To be able to control when he hyperfocus.
'Just this?' Asked Chaos. 'Those are good wishes but you could wish for even more. Why only those?'
-Because i know that with those powers i will already have limitless potential for growth so i will become as strong as i may need in the right time- Replied Lucas. -Plus, i was never a fan of being straight up omnipotent.
'Very well' Said Chaos. 'And what world do you wish as the first of your journey and how old do you want to be?'
-I wanna go to the My Hero Academia world at the age of 5 around the time Class 1A was also 5!
'Understood, enjoy your new life Lucas Marvelous, you earned it'
After those worlds Lucas nodded as a portal was formed and Lucas walked trough it, ready for his new life.
