Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Name:A New Path Author:Vallori
A portal opened up inside an alley in a pretty big city. The city itself was on the sitting on the border between being a town or full-fledged city. It was a beautiful city with many different people running around.

"hm, I wonder where God sent me. I forgot to ask him about travelling to different worlds and all that. Hope I can do that in the future though." He said as he looked around. He suddenly noticed that something felt different. He had all his memories from his past life and he was sure that this is not his old body.

"So I got a similar outfit as well. Guess the change occurred already." He looked down and noticed that he was wearing the clothes Dragon had on in the one-piece story. So naturally, the feeling he had came from the fact that he was now a little over 250 cm tall with long black hair and a rough and manly face.

"I like it. Definitely better than before. I like this body as well. Feels great to tower over almost everything and everyone." He didn't literally tower over houses or anything but this height felt just that different from his past in where he was about 180 cm tall.

"Now I should explore this system first. Then I can explore the world. Now how would someone go about activating a fantasy system.." He sat down against one of the walls of the alley. Even in this sitting position, he would still tower over the average kid.

"Activate!? System!? I command you to start??" He tried many different commands but nothing happened.

'what the hell? he could have at least explained how I activate the system before sending me away'

[I am here to serve God!] A soothing older female sounding voice echoes inside his head right after he spoke to himself inside his head.

"System? is that you?" He said out loud again and it took a few seconds before he got a response.

[Yes! Please speak to me internally. We don't want anyone finding out about me now do we.] The voice of the middle-aged woman sounded out inside his head again.

'I suppose. This actually makes it easier. Lucky that the god thought about this. It would truly be annoying if people found out about this.' He said as he sat still there with closed eyes. He tried to focus on the voice so he could hear it more clearly.

'System. Did you call me god or the actual god?'

[Host is my god, so I was instructed to refer to host as "god" from time to time. You did not create me but you are my only god and no one else. For that is how I was created.] There was barely any emotions in the voice. Just like he requested from God.

'I see. Let's just keep it like that then. Now show me a feature of yours.' he said and opened his eyes.

[Okay God. Close your eyes again and say the status of the word in your mind.]

'Status'

---------

[Name:

[Age: 114

[Title: The True Immortal

[Race: Human

----------

'Neat. So I really became immortal. I will need to test that soon so I will know for sure. I don't trust titles at all. I didn't in my last life and definitely won't in this life either as it saved me many times to not trust them.

'Do you have any more features?' He asked the system. He wanted to know everything about it before dealing with the loose ends. Like the whole naming thing.

[I have three more features. Inventory, store and World Travel. Would host like an explanation.]

'No, I think they are pretty self-explanatory. Something to put things into and the other to travel worlds. The last one is used to buy everything I want. Does any of them have any limits?'

[No! God creates nothing short of perfect. You have infinite space and you can travel to anywhere you desire. You can buy anything that has ever been created and it's all free.]

'Okay, I see. That should do it. Now to figure out in which world I am in. I could probably ask the system, but it's more fun to find out for myself.'

"Oy, man. You look like a rich fellow, so hand over the wallet you're hiding under that robe of yours" A voice sounded out beside him while he was thinking about his next step.

'Oh, Perfect. I need to test my immortality anyway.' He looked upon the four rough-looking youngsters holding one knife each. The obvious leader among them held one knife in each hand.

"Are you deaf or mute old man. Give us everything you have on you or die. We are four against one. Don't try anything funny with us." one of the boys beside the leader said to him. He just frowned at them, to which they smiled thinking he was afraid or nervous.

"How old are you four. 16? 17? What are you doing going down this path in life." 'Not like I have the right to judge something like that. What a hypocrite I am.' He was still sitting down against the wall so the four boys didn't realize just how tall he is in this new body.

"Shut up old man! Just give us everything you have." The leader said while raising his knifes a little higher.

"You have never killed anyone before, have you. Not even hurt an animal. Right? You are a hundred years too early to stand on this stage with me." He half borrowed a cool quote he had ones heard and mixed in something of his own as well. He finally stood up and his incredibly tall height coupled with his deep and growl like voice scared the shit out of the boys.

"B-Boss. Maybe we should rethink this whole thing. L-Look at him. he is a freak of nature." A boy in the back said with a hushed tone so the man couldn't hear him. Little did he know that there was nothing he said that he could hide from the giant before them.

"Shut up! stay back there, coward. We should never have brought you. Let's go, guys!" The leader said to the other two beside him and all three ran at the man with knives in hand.

He scanned the boys properly for the first time since they arrived. Time seemed to have slowed down as his eyes darter from each boy to the next and he already knew almost everything about them, when it came to combat at least. From just one look he had figured out exactly what each boy would do in a fight. They were complete rookies in every sense of the word.

'He in the back reminds me so much of Riley, my second grandson. I won't hurt him that bad because it would feel like beating up Riley. ha, ha,' He laughed to himself while the boys just arrived on either side of him.

In this small alley, he had one boy on his right and left side. The leader stood in front of him. The leader jumped forwards with his lackeys joining him soon after.

"TAKE THIS!" He thrust the knife forward and was extremely shocked when he felt the knife enter the man. He was a hundred percent he would dodge but when he didn't and his attack connected he released his knife right away.

"Oy, what's the problem boy? Never killed before?" He looked at the three boys that had stopped in their tracks and at the same time he pulled out the knife.

"No Don.." The leader said before shutting up. His hands were shaking and he wanted to puke when remembering the sensation of the knife entering the man. That sensation was the worst thing he had ever felt.

"Why don't you guys just get back home and go to bed. But first, let me teach you what I am." He said, and the next second he stood above three downed boys that had lost consciousness.

"Wh-What are you??!" The last boy dropped his knife and fell down because his knees were too weak to hold him up anymore.

"hm, what am I? Who am I? Great questions are they not." He put his hand on his chin and started thinking.

'I have taken a body from One Piece so I should take a name from there as well. Well, I only know a few names so let's combine two and make something cool out of it. Yes, that's what I'll do.'

"ahem. Listen, well boy. I am Portgas D Dragon. I am a world traveller. Nice to meet you." Dragon said and offered a helping hand to the boy he saw had troubles standing up from all the fear he caused here today.

"N-Nice to meet you, M-Master Dragon!!" The boy said while being incredibly unsure of how to address this man before him.

"No need to fear me, boy. Your friends are not dead, I only knocked them out for a while. They are completely fine." Dragon said while he started walking away from the alley.

"T-They aren't my friends!" The boy yelled this as he got too excited for a moment and couldn't properly control his voice.

"Well, what are you waiting for then. Come along, boy." Dragon said while waving his hand still his back turned as he was walking away.

The boy showed a shocked and confused expression for a moment and then ran after Dragon to catch up to him.
