Naruto: World Of Warcraft - chapter 1

My name, my name… how many stories start like that… oh well, my name is or was Aaron, I was a programmer working for the government, and I died because of it, the how or why, I don’t know, but I guess that’s beyond the point, I died and that is the end of the story, or so I thought.

After being shot in the head, I expected… Well, nothingness, I expected my life and consciousness to fade, but alas I was wrong, I remained, my mind remained, and for a while, all I could do was wonder where I was going next.

Surprisingly this question was answered rather quickly, though not in the manner I or anyone would expect.

[Analyzing….

…..

…….

Status: Dead…

Updating:….

Welcome to the resurrection atlas, the state of the art in resurrection affairs! You are a very lucky individual, for you have been selected to have a second chance in life!]

Befuddlement was one of the many emotions I felt; I mean, how the hell was I supposed to react? Well, church or other people described dying. So I expected little angels guiding me to heaven or hell, not this….

[You must be confused! So allow me to explain!

Thanks for the Resurrection atlas you! Will be resurrected in a new world, or perhaps even reality! Why? Well, every few billion years, the Atlas selects one individual to enjoy once again the wonderful journey organic beings call life!

]

I was speechless; what was I supposed to say or do… could I even talk without a body, “I… so I can talk, should’ve tried that earlier,” I muttered, “So… I get to live again?”

[Precisely! Now! Onto the world selection!

Please know the Atlas doesn't select anything for you, nor will you, but lets a random algorithm select the world you will be in; now wait a moment while our computer processes this request…………

]

Was I excited I was getting a second chance? I wasn’t really sure; in fact, I wasn’t even sad I died… was that normal…? Or it was something dead people felt…

[You have been selected to be reincarnated in the world of Terra X-12679/D-N, also known as the Shinobi world, also known as the world of Naruto! ]

“Oh, then I choose death,” I chuckled; there was no way I was going to fight fire breathing assholes, or coexist with them.

[Your compliance it’s not a factor! But don’t worry! Here in Atlas, we know some worlds can raise some concerns, and we want to make sure you have all the tools you need to grow and be safe!]

My compliance it’s not a… fucking great, “So what then?”

[We have analyzed your life and have, based on the information we have acquired, given you the power to overcome the challenges this world might throw at you!]

“That doesn’t exactly explain anything….” I sighed.

[My apologies! Allow me to explain! Based on your life, you dedicated a massive amount of time to online games, especially the one known as World of Warcraft, so Atlas has given you something akin to a game system to acquire the powers and skills from that game!

Please note this system is not an AI but a mere insert of the World of Warcraft system into your soul, giving you the ability to do what everyone in the World of Warcraft can do. ]

I suppose that’s better than being thrown into the fray without knowing what to do, also; on another note; I’m a bit ashamed a fourth-dimensional being knows I played most of my life, “So… what now—-”

I didn’t get to finish my sentence, because, in the blink of an eye, I wasn’t… dead anymore? I mean, there was no transition , one moment I was speaking with what might as well be god, and the next I was standing in the middle of a big room with dozens of beds, “Well… that was trippy,” I muttered to myself, immediately noticing my voice being different.

[First and last message!

You have been reincarnated into the world, Naruto! Also known as the world of Shinobi! Also known as Terra X-12679/D-N, thanks to Atlas!

Now before you go to explore this fabulous world, we need to clarify some points!

Here in Atlas. We know how hard it is for a sentient adult to be back into their baby stage, so we conveniently help our customers skip that part, which is why you are currently five years old, the optimal age to adapt and learn about your environment! statistically speaking, so that is probably why you are probably now wondering things like… why is my voice different? Why is my hand smaller? Why is my **** so small? And more!

Now with that little question out of the way! Onto the next, here in Atlas, we know how hard it is to fit in and replace loved ones once you die, so once again, we have conveniently helped! Making you our customer an orphan! No family, no need to explain or replace loved ones!

Last but not least! The power we have given you is like everything made in Atlas, the best of the best! Why did we give you this power? Well, based on your life and the amount of time you gave this game, our computers calculated you would be more comfortable with something you are already familiar with! As for the power… it is a bit different from what you remember.

There are no class limitations; you have access to all the skills in the game, all you need to use them is the level; what does that mean? Well, basically, it means you are a Warlock, Warrior, Mage, Priest, Paladin, Monk, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue, Druid and Shaman at the same time!

Now with all of this said! Enjoy!]

Needless to say, I was once again, speechless, “Well, at least I don’t have to be a baby,” I chuckled, taking a deep breath as I let the situation sink in.

—————————————————————————————

After two hours where I totally didn’t cry over my situation, I accepted I had no other choice and started playing with the World of Warcraft UI I had embedded in my brain, and like the Atlas thing had said, I had all the starting skills for each class, talk about versatility. With the exclusion of two classes, the Demon Hunter and the Death Knight, possibly because in WOW, they start at a higher level than all the other classes.

I also noticed my name wasn’t my name anymore, and also I didn’t remember my name, anywho, my new name according to my embedded UI was, Raiden —- no surname because, you know… orphan.

I also noticed I had an odd patch of knowledge in my head I didn’t have before, like for example, I knew where I was, who the matron of the orphanage was, who the current Hokage was… and how to navigate the village, it was… strange knowing something you didn’t know a few seconds ago, but welcomed… considering… my situation.

“Time to explore!” That came with less enthusiasm than I wanted it to come.

————————————————-

I think it was high noon in Konoha when I decided to finally explore the not so fictional place that I had been shove in. The streets were busy, booming with people and ninja alike; it was shocking, to say the least, not that the streets were busy, that was to be expected, but that it felt so real, I think I was waiting for all of this to feel like a dream, or a video game, not like this. However, as the all-powerful being or pc, had said, I had no other choice, but to make the best out of it.

“Alright,” I muttered under my breath, “You can do this, I mean… how hard can it be? Ino and Sakura, the definition of useless, survived this world; if they can, anyone can,”

At this moment was when I realized I wasn’t on the timeline I originally supposed I was, you see, when I… was sent here, basic information about my surroundings was burned into my brain, now in my panic, I overlooked some of the information… but as soon as I said Ino and Sakura, my brain cordially reminded me, they were yet to be born, my brain also reminded me their parents were also yet to be born.

“Well… the good side of this, is that every second of my current existence is a gift,” I chuckled under my breath, I had already died, this was supposed to be a gift, “Tobirama Senju is the Hokage,” which meant war was on the horizon, I wasn’t entirely sure, I only watched haft of Shippuden, and don’t remember much of the first part of Naruto.

With trepidation, I swallowed my uncertainty and continued to explore the place where I had been sent, it was… big, according to the information in my head, very big, and as I walked, I started to question myself, what did I want to do? What would I do now in this world? Did I want to be a Ninja? Risking my life in the field, or did I want to be a civilian, avoiding unnecessary danger.

On one part, if I became a Ninja, I would probably get very strong considering the gift I had been given, but did I actually want to risk my life, “Haha, that’s a stupid question, I don’t have much of a choice,” I muttered, walking pass the Konoha market, realizing I had no choice, being a civilian would only make me an easier target, there was no guarantee I would survive and live a long and peaceful life if I stayed in the village, the only way to ensure my safety was to become strong enough to ensure it myself.

Now the question was, how to enroll in the academy, according to the embedded memories in my head, I was a civilian orphan, meaning I had no idea how to enroll in the academy, “Meh, I’ll just ask the first Ninja I see,” I sighed, as my eyes caught a ninja buying some fruit from the market, “Well, that was easy,”

“Excuse me, sir,” I said, tugging his shirt, I was a kid, and I was going to exploit the powers that came with it, “I have a question,”

The yet to be named Ninja looked at me and smiled, “Sure, kiddo, what’s the question?” he inquired, ruffling my hair.

“How do I enroll in the academy?” I asked the guy, who blinked in surprise for a brief moment.

“You sure you want to enroll?” No, I am not, but in a world where Voldemort is attracted to kids, one has to learn how to fight.

“Yes,” I nodded, giving him a fake eager smile.

“Very well,” the Ninja chuckled, “All you have to do is walk to the academy, ask to be tested, and if you pass the tests you are enrolled, is as easy as that,”

Huh, I always thought kids needed an adult to sign something, a permission of sorts; I guess kids here can become killers without adult supervision, neat world, lovely, “Thanks, sir!”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the information I had acquired from the random ninja I had found in the market, I walked to the academy, which by the way, was like ten miles away from the fucking market, but I took this time to get accustomed to the place, one thing was having memories that didn’t belong to me embedded in my brain, and another thing was to make those memories mine, which was what I was doing.

On my long, tedious way to the academy, I decided to check my skill list, once again, to get a better feeling and understanding of what I had and how powerful I was; I had played wow all my life, it was the one game that stuck with me, and now I had powers from that world, powers I needed to get accustomed with, in an entirely different level, “Skills,” I muttered to myself, and in front of me the WOW UI appeared showing me the skills I had so far.

-----------------

That’s good, I suppose, I don’t have much to compare it to, but I suppose it will do, “Welcome to the ninja academy,” I read the sign outside the school, “here goes nothing,”

As I entered the academy, I noticed a bunch of kids running around, some sitting, others fighting, and very few, reading, “Hello there,” someone greeted me, startling the heck out of me; someone should put bells on these ninjas.

“Hello,” I greeted, “I am here to enroll in the academy,” I told the ninja.

“The enrollment period ended a month ago,” so I walked ten miles for nothing, it’s like college all over again, “But, we don’t turn away eager kids,” eager future mass killers you mean, “So how about we go inside and test your levels, if you are good enough, you might get in, even though it quite late,”

I have a feeling I will get in, “Thanks, sir!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got in, the test was surprisingly easy, they measured my chakra with a scroll, then they made me run through an obstacle course, and then made me do a written test, nothing was hard, it was… mundane even, but I won’t complain.

“You will be in class A, congrats!” the ninja who had tested me said, and I wasn’t really sure why, but I felt class A was… different from other classes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I passed the test, I assumed they were going to let me go, you know, give me some time to get my affairs in order, alas I was outstandingly wrong, as soon as I passed the test, the ninja dragged me to my classroom... like he gave me no time to process shit, it was test, and then class, like college all over again.

“Class, we have a new student today… I know he’s starting late, but his tests show he is more than ready to be in the class,” what that hell did those test show, I did nothing out of the ordinary, and that is coming from me, a guy whose life prior to this was sedentary as fuck, “Now, go ahead and introduce yourself to the class,” the teacher ordered, with a tone of finality.

“My name is Raiden, I have no last name… and I like reading books,” THIS is what happens when you don’t give a man type to prepare before shoving him to class!

“Perfect, now Raiden, take a seat beside Jiraiya, we are about to start the class,” Oh… I knew there was a reason I felt… this class meant trouble, yeih...
