“But isn’t that kind of dumb?” I said

“What do you mean?” The angel replied

“Well, I might choose the My Hero universe, and sure it might be fun for a while but then I’ll be killed really fast when the villains escape” I said

“Well, you aren't being sent there unarmed, you will be taking Babel with you” the Angel said

“Babel? Like the Tower of Babel?” I replied

“Not really, you will be taking the Library of Babel” the angel said

“Well what’s the difference?” I said

“The Library of Babel is Infinity, every book to ever exist within the entire true omniverse, has an exact copy in there” The Angel Explained

“Ok, How am I gonna carry that with me to the world I chose?” I Asked

“Well, due to the size of Babel, Zephyrion had decided to create a gate within your sea of consciousness to Babel” The Angel said

“What’s A sea of consciousness” I asked

”Well in layman’s terms, a sea of consciousness is the space within your subconscious which All instinctual knowledge is held, whenever you enter your sea, you can choose to either speed up or slow down your time perception“ He replied 

“And as another gift, Zephyrion granted you the ability to enter your Sea whenever you desire, although, do keep in mind that this only allows your soul to travel, not your body” He continued

“And to help you in your journey, you’ll have an assistant” He Finished

“Are you ready?” The Angel asked

“Yeah, I think I’m good” I said as a door appeared to my side

“Walk through the door and you will enter Babel, make sure to favourite some books about regaining past life memories, as when you reincarnate, you will have no memories of this life” The Angel said

I walked through the door with a deep breath and found myself in a giant library

“Woah…” I audibly gasped at the size of the library

It was the shape of a large cylinder that had a diameter of about around 10 miles, and there was a roof about 10 metres above

I looked around and saw something that vaguely looked like a sacrificial alter right in front of me, and I walked to it

On top of it there was a young lady with black hair and black eyes, with a power button symbol replacing the pupil of the left eye, she was about the same height as me and was dressed in traditional western maid clothing

I walked closer it and it automatically turned on with a ding, as the left pupil glowed a light pastel blue

“Hello! I am the Babel Artificial Reactive Bibliothec Reincarnators Assistant or BARBRA'' Barbra said “my goal is to make your reincarnation experience as good as it can get”

 “The Angel Told me about you, can you help me find books for remembering past lives” I asked

“Affirmative” Barbra said before I teleported upwards an undefinable amount of floors in front of a bookcase filled with books about regaining the memories of your past life

“This floor is dedicated to books of this genre” Barbara informed

“What would be the most effective one” I asked and the shelf rearranged itself to be sorted with most effective on the left, and least on the right, I knew this because of a small plaque that was beneath my feat explaining this

Turns out, every bookcase and floor has this, after I went all the way to the left and picked out the most effective one and favorited it, allowing me to instantly teleport to infront of the book case whenever I wish when an idea struck him

“Now bring me to the Martial Arts Books”I asked and just like that, I teleported to a floor filled with Martial Arts

As I browsed through them I saw that most of them required internal energy to use

‘Something like internal energy in my body might fight with the energy system in the universe I’m going to…’

“Barbra can you bring me to the strongest regular martial art, one that doesn’t need internal energy” I said

“Affirmative” Barbra said before we got transported to another floor, this one filled with martial arts that did not require internal energy

I went all the way to the left after asking to order it based on strength and picked up the last 3 martial arts

There was a book for something called Renewal Taekwondo, which has a main focus on kicks being the strongest

Kyokushin Karate, that focuses on punches as well as discipline, much like regular karate being second

With something called Katgeuzter being third, apparently it was a fighting style that was created in Germany, as a mix between Krav Maga and Tai Chi, causing a far more deadly version of it and it was the weakest of the three, but still being very strong

I favorited all of those books and finally decided to go reincarnate

“Goodbye Barbra, it’s time for me to reincarnate” I said, feeling happy about my choices

“Goodbye Master” said Barbra as my vision faded to black
