What? What is that voice saying?

  I know that I am dead, I have felt the pain of dying.

  Rambled the voice in a monotone, sleep-inducing tone. It was easy to ignore and think while it spoke.

  What is happening? I wasn't one for religion, if there was a god then he has only created the world and then lost interest in it, that or he/she is a sadistic and evil asshole. War, droughts, natural disasters and the general suffering of hundreds of millions couldn't be explained any other way.

  So, no, I did not expect to come to heaven, hell or something in between. But I also did not expect this.

  The voice kept rambling on, I didn't give it much attention, too busy with getting my mind on the fact that I was no longer in pain. Even if I could not feel or see anything. I think I can feel my body, but I am not able to move it, which makes it hard to really know that I am feeling it.

  Okay, concentrate.

  I don't feel pain and don't know where I am. There is no choir, bathing in a holy light, nor a burning fiery pit of flames. That means this is neither hell nor heaven. It might be in an in-between, which would make this a different hell. Nothing to do, nothing to feel, yet able to think, is this my eternal torture?

  Wait, the voice spoke again. I should have paid attention to it from the beginning, but it's hard to do that when you were dying a painful death only moments before.

  So, I'm getting reborn and I can choose my gender? Well, I am male. I also haven't paid attention and don't know if I am reborn somewhere where I know how women are treated. But history was rarely good to the female gender. So male, I think.

  What the actual fuck. This almost sounds like a game. And I, as an avid reader, know what these extras mean. I am either getting reborn into the Naruto world or into one that is really similar.

  So the game said I have 10 points... What to choose, what to choose. Well, the affinities are out. I don't know if I am able to learn more than one, like other skilled people in Naruto, but one is still hard to master. And I only have 10 points.

  An unlimited inventory, on the other hand, is cheap and impossibly useful. Definitely a sure pick. I am not sure about the starter sets. In games like Fallout New Vegas it was helpful, but only for the start, like the name states. And while the Master Set does sound desirable, I'm not sure if my points were spent somewhere else better. I only have so few points, yet Naruto is dangerous and having something to help at the start would be great.

  Then again, reborn means starting as a baby, those aren't known for doing anything. I will be at the mercy of others for the first few years. I know that Chakra control is the alpha and omega, as is having Chakra. The first can be trained, the second as well. But having a boost in both will be great.

  I wish I knew more about the game. How is the level system, are the stats similar to Fallout, where it's only 1 to 10 for the status and 1-100 for my skills or like other games, where there isn't a limit. Am I able to increase my skill by training or does it only rise with allocated points upon level ups?

  Taking a bloodline will give me more than one bonus and/or other things, but will also come with risks.

  Well, being lucky is always good. It also costs only 2 points. And Chakra, at least in Naruto is generated by the body and the mind, so having a strong body and a high intelligence should raise my Chakra and its regeneration. Both cost two points each. This makes 7 so far.

  But I could also take the body of an Uzumaki as a bloodline. They were known for their high Chakra and having a minor regeneration ability. But so were the Senju, which were also fairly intelligent. This also limits the possible location and time I will be reborn in.

  Then maybe not intelligence and strong body and rather the body of a Senju. Which leaves me with two points. I rather am more intelligent than anything else. Fallout is, again, a good example of what can happen if I have less of it. Being only able to speak in grunts isn't something I want to do.

  Good, then it's decided. I'll take the infinite inventory, the higher luck, the body of a Senju and higher intelligence. Hopefully, I will be able to learn the rest or raise it with time.

  Okay, so the extra gives me no extra points but every single point I get in either luck or intelligence will be raised by an additional point. I saw that I could further rise Intelligence, looks like it isn't using the Fallout mechanics. Which means that training them should be possible.

  But why are they so low? Because I will start as a baby? Might be, sounds logical.

  Anyway, 30 points to spend and six attributes to rise. Two of whom are already a bit higher. I'll think I increase all but intelligence evenly. This gives me a ten in everything, except luck and intelligence.

  However, it is highly likely that I will be able to further increase them by training. And luck is something that can't be trained. Luck is important, especially when I would have started with zero. Maybe I should only increase luck and endurance. The later because death rates of infants might be rather high.

  Yeah, I'll only increase those two. 25 points into luck and five into endurance, having double than the standard should be good.
