Whether Electrocuted or Trucked, I Was Chosen!

Whether Shocked by Electricity or Truck-kun, I Was Chosen!

In a small room on the sixth floor of a certain residential complex on a certain year, month, and day, a young man sat in front of his computer watching a Naruto review video on Bilibili. This guy had sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a fine physique, lagging just slightly behind the handsome gentlemen in front of their mobile phones. His name did not matter; let us just call him Ed.

"He still died too early. By the time he appeared again, the times had already changed," Ed muttered as he picked up a bottle of cola and gulped it down. When he set it down, he failed to place it securely, and the liquid splashed directly onto the power strip, sending sparks flying in all directions!

Nothing happened.

No, the power strip was ruined.

Ed rolled his eyes and complained speechlessly, "I thought I was going to start an explosion caused by a short circuit and go to another world. As expected, you really shouldn't read too many web novels."

Suddenly, Beep beep! Honk! A car horn followed by a loud crash sounded. A semi-truck charged in from outside and sent Ed flying with a truck collision. Ed's consciousness gradually blurred, and he vaguely heard, "I can even crash into the 6th floor! Young man, start your happy new life!"

A pristine white space. "NICE! This month's KPI is met!" Ed's consciousness gradually woke up. He opened his eyes to see a pure white space with a golden ball of light bouncing up and down in front of him. Ed realized something. "This... Elastic Ball comrade, what is my current condition..."

"Who are you calling an Elastic Ball!" The golden light ball seemed very angry, bounced heavily a few times, and made a sound. "I am the god in charge of traversals! In other novels, they all call me Main God!"

"Isn't this setup a bit cliché?" Ed calmly complained.

"Then you might as well not travel. I'll just send you straight to be reincarnated instead. It's still a third-tier small city in Henan Province, right?" The light ball gave a calm reply as well.

"Foster Father! It was this child who was unruly! This child really doesn't want to grind through the college entrance examination again; please show mercy, Foster Father!" Ed instantly lost his composure. To be honest, children from the four provinces of mountains and rivers, unless they were geniuses or had money at home, had a really hard time.

"Considering that you know what's good for you, I'll spare you once. Alright, let's talk business," the light ball paused and continued, "I am the god in charge of traversals. Seeing that you signed up for a traversal in a certain book earlier, I brought you over. Next, you have a few choices. First: random ability, random world—go roam the endless other worlds to your heart's content! Second: designated ability, random world—this way your start might be a bit smoother. Third: designated ability, designated world."

"No matter how you think about it, designated ability and designated world must be the coolest, right?" Ed asked after thinking slightly. "Since there are three options, there must be restrictions, right? Otherwise, everyone would definitely choose designated ability and designated world. If I pick the Beta Wand and go to World War II, wouldn't that be super awesome, letting the Jap *ss say things to my Spacium Ray!"

"Pretty smart. Of course there are restrictions. The first type is completely random. As you said, going to WWII with the Beta Wand is not impossible, but it is also possible to get a mediocre ability and go to a strange world. For example, I previously had two guys who chose the first option: one got the Power of the Galaxy and went to Tiga World, seemingly ending up as a staff officer; the other got a grand package of black technology and went to the Prehistoric side, apparently right during the Lich War."

"Is that senior doing okay..." Ed trembled in fear.

"Not sure. Later feedback said that for some reason he didn't seem to be in human form anymore, and seemed to have turned into the shape of a sword."

"As expected, pure randomness is completely unplayable unless you're a European emperor," Ed muttered to himself. "There's even prehistoric stuff like this. I know this theme is quite popular, but the survival pressure on this thing is maxed out, and I don't usually pay much attention to similar novels. I'd better choose a designated one; a designated one definitely won't scam me. Foster Father! This child chooses designated ability and designated world!"

"Sure. However, if you designate, you cannot designate something that exceeds the power upper limit of the original world. For example, you can't take the Beta Wand to World War II, but you can take a military industry manufacturing system or a supply system to World War II," the light ball said casually.

"Hmm... In that case, let me think. I should still decide on the ability first!" Ed thought of Minato's handsome display in the last video he saw before his death. "Right, I want to learn the Flying Thunder God and various ninjutsu!"

"Yes, but what about the world? Depending on the world you choose, apart from the original work's world, the abilities given to you will also be slightly tweaked for other worlds. For example, the chakra used for the Flying Thunder God will be modified to magic power if you go to a fantasy world, and you might need to develop ninjutsu yourself based on the world's specific system."

"If I go to the original Naruto World, I feel like I wouldn't be able to beat those schemers, and I'd still have to play 4D chess with that bunch of people. Just thinking about it is exhausting," Ed shuddered and asked aloud, "Can Foster Father recommend one?"

"Sure." The light ball didn't seem to be asked this kind of question for the first time. "First of all, the Flying Thunder God is a ninjutsu, which can be considered a kind of spell, so it's most suitable for fantasy-type worlds. It's not easily rejected by the local universe, so how about the world of Fairy Tail? It can perfectly match the ability, and at the same time, modifying it to magic power makes it very convenient to learn the local power system."

"Fairy Tail, huh? I've watched a bit of it too, but I don't seem to remember the plot very well. I only remember that my head is full of super cool magic circles and mages shouting 'I am Fairy Tail' as they trample the enemy," Ed recalled. "However, one thing to say, the female characters are really awesome!"

"How about it? Is it this one?" the light ball confirmed.

"Yes, this is it," Ed made up his mind.

"Alrighty then, Fairy Tail world, ability Flying Thunder God, adjusted to magic power mode. As for ninjutsu, you can develop it yourself based on magic power. As a side note, this time you're traversing with your physical body~" The light ball stretched out a hand and tapped on a screen, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Ed, "However, in order for that world to better accept you, I need to lower your physical age over there. As compensation, I will raise your talent and comprehension."

"Fine, okay." Ed nodded.

"Alrighty then, off you go!" The light ball stretched out a foot and kicked Ed flying with one kick. "Go, youth~ By the way, I won't modify your appearance, though."

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Traversing, please wait ----------------------------------------------------------

A white light flashed, and Ed opened his eyes. Before him was an endless primeval forest. The trees that blotted out the sun made Ed's eyes go wide. "Where did this bring me? Is this still the world of Fairy Tail? This completely can't be told apart from Konoha, right?"

Ed was dazed when he suddenly felt something pawing at his body from the side. He turned his head and saw only a bloody maw, along with an approaching dampness and stench.

"Holy crap!" What was this! Ed was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side, only then seeing the full picture of this creature: a body resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a ferocious appearance, and saliva that constantly dripped, all shocking Ed's soul.

"This fucking initial difficulty is a bit too high!" Ed turned tail and ran, but how could an ordinary person outrun something whose head was almost as big as Ed's? Not to mention that Ed's body had shrunk after traversing, and he obviously felt a lot shorter.

Within a few steps, Ed was caught up. Seeing that ever-enlarging mouth about to bite down on him, at this moment of life-and-death crisis, a series of images flashed through Ed's mind like a revolving lantern, especially the scenes in the Main God Space.

"Right! Flying Thunder God! If I can't beat them, can't I run?" Ed instantly grabbed a small stone. The magic power within his body flowed toward the small stone like instinct, and a small mark appeared on the stone. Ed quickly threw the stone out and mobilized his magic power.

"Swish!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex bit into empty air, looking in a daze at Ed, who had suddenly appeared to the side. "It worked. Is this what it feels like to activate the Flying Thunder God? Arriving at another place in an instant—as expected, the Flying Thunder God is the coolest!" Ed felt his adrenaline surging wildly, and his entire person became excited.

"However, knowing only the Flying Thunder God makes it completely impossible to counterattack, and I feel that the chakra, or rather magic power, consumed to activate the Flying Thunder God in my body, although not particularly large, won't last too long either." Ed seized the opportunity to throw the stone affixed with the mark to the side while placing marks on the surrounding stones, playing around and toying with this Tyrannosaurus Rex by flashing back and forth.

In my impression, Tsunade's Monster Strength seems to just require concentrating chakra. Let's give it a try! Ed thought. No sooner said than done, Ed flashed to the side and tried to gather magic power on his fist.

Soon, Ed's fist began to emit a faint glow. "It should be done! Meet your doom!" Ed flashed in front of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and punched its huge head. A plain, unremarkable punch landed, yet this disproportionate contest of strength presented a completely different result.

Ed's fist hit the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head, and instantly, immense power erupted, directly sending both man and beast flying. The huge force carried the Tyrannosaurus Rex flying backward until it crashed into a huge tree trunk behind, smashing out a large crater before it fell to the ground, its life or death unknown.

Meanwhile, Ed was also driven by this bursting force to fly backward. "Crap, it hurts so much. Won't my arm break? I fucking knew Tsunade's Monster Strength wouldn't be that simple." Ed activated the Flying Thunder God, landed in an open space, and hugged his arm while wailing.

After a while, looking at his entirely swollen and red arm, Ed felt incomparably mentally exhausted. "It's a good thing that Main God raised my talent, otherwise I might not even have been able to use this half-baked Monster Strength."

Ed looked up at the Tyrannosaurus Rex lying on the ground over there. The predator from just moments ago was now completely devoid of vitality. "At least the crisis is averted for now." Ed sat down and began to check his body.

Ed discovered a small river nearby and hurriedly ran over, looking down at his reflection. As the reflection on the water's surface came into view, Ed discovered that he looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. His appearance was as handsome as his former self, and his right arm, which had just thrown the punch, was completely swollen and red, looking somewhat frightening.

Ed touched his arm. "It hurts, but it feels like it shouldn't be fractured. Phew, good, good. But what should I do next? Also, where the hell is this!"

Ed was somewhat on the verge of a breakdown. In this forest, Ed—who used to be a shut-in—found even survival to be a problem. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "This is the forest near Magnolia. Kid, what kind of person are you? Why are you alone in the forest?"

Ed turned his head to look and found an elderly man with white hair, a Mediterranean bald spot, and a somewhat short stature speaking to him. "With this appearance, could you be Mr. Makarov, the master of the Fairy Tail guild?" Ed was slightly excited; finally, he wouldn't have to worry about survival.

According to the plot, Master Makarov was a standard good person and certainly wouldn't let a child live alone in the forest, especially a mage who had awakened magic.

After thinking quickly, Ed replied, "I come from a very far place. After awakening my magic, I hoped to join Fairy Tail, so I ran out, but I got lost in this forest... Ahaha." By the end, Ed appeared somewhat embarrassed.

"All by yourself? Coming from a very far place—where are your family? Did they feel at ease letting you run out alone?" Makarov asked doubtfully.

Ed was silent for a moment, thinking of his parents whom he might never see again, and said somewhat heavily, "They... are not in this world."

Makarov thought for a moment and said, "Then come with me. Since you also want to join Fairy Tail, this will become your new home, and everyone in the guild will be your new family."

"My name is Ed." Ed nodded, and Makarov also smiled and said, "Then let's set off. Traveling back to the guild from here will still take a whole day."

"Yeah!"
