Chapter 2: Worst Case Scenario
"HOLY SHIT!"
The stone platform under the boy cracked and shattered underneath him. He began falling. Not into the water he was previously in, but falling down into… nothing.
The boy, despite his surprise of the floor crumbling beneath him, was still calmed. It was like the place itself stopped him from any outbursts.
I feel like just getting teleported into JJK would've worked better than a pit.
While he fell into the infinitely dark pit, he thought to himself.
Wait… Where am I reincarnating to?
That idea entered his mind. It should've scared him. Instead, he sounded lightly concerned over the matter.
I could end up anywhere. If I make it to Japan, it'd be a miracle. Time periods could also be a problem.
The boy shrugged at the dilemma. There was nothing he could do about it anymore. He made his wishes already.
He was at the mercy of RNG now.
After what felt like a few minutes of falling, A sound played in that infinite darkness he fell into…
It was very similar, if not, exactly, the sound of the internet dialing.
Words appeared in front of the boy in a holographic blue font.

[Processing Wishes…]
The boys eyes widened. He had seen this kind of a thing before. Only in books and light novels. A holy grail to have in any kind of world.
A sound close to a bell ringing suddenly rang.
[Wish Processing Complete!]
[Congratulations, Reincarnator! You have been gifted the {System} by the heavens!]
YES!
This was the icing on the cake. Just to have ownership of a system would allow him to get even stronger!
This couldn't go wrong for him!
As he went ecstatic with joy, the darkness he was falling into shifted slowly. It was going from black, to a dark grey, to a final form of blinding white. Everything slowly went numb as the feelings that the boy had such as sight or smell suddenly left him.
He took one last breath before it all disappeared. Not one out of fear or confusion. Simply because he was ready for this.
That was his last action in that body.

"Waaahhh!!!" A cry sounds within a small wooden shack, illuminated by daylight peering through a nearby window.
Within the shack, there was a woman holding a newborn child covered in her… let's just say "fluids."
No one else was in the room other than her. The sound of a bell plays once more.
[Congratulation Reincarnator! You have been Born!]
No shit, Sherlock.
"Waahhh!! Waahhh!!" The baby, or rather the freshly reincarnated boy had squirmed.
I can't even control the crying? Man, this sucks.
As he grimaced at his own situation, he managed to ignore the woman holding him. She quickly tried to calm the boy down.
Not gonna work, Lady. I don't even know how to quit-
Before the boy could finish his thoughts, the wails he continued to make suddenly paused.
Huh… Well that's neat.
His words were already proven wrong. His body calmed easily the moment the woman spoke. She continued to speak as she grabbed a nearby towel to wipe off the 'fluids' that the child was covered in.
"I think I'll name you Yoshiro." The woman said brightly. The child was still squirming as she went to clean him.
'Yoshiro'… I like it.
Just as he did, the bell-like sound played again.

…I have no Cursed Energy?
The boy was shocked. He wished he had Cursed Energy equivalent to Sugawara Michizane. But he failed to realize his own mistake.
He wished for the Hevenly Restriction of Toji Zen'in. Not his attributes. Not his body. His Heavenly Restriction.
He theoretically had an oceans worth of cursed energy. It was just his Heavenly Restriction stopping him from using it.
He now only had three things going for him.
One: The System.
Two: The combat knowledge of both Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna.
Three: The Heavenly Restriction itself.
All consequences of a wish simply not worded correctly enough.
Things couldn't possibly get worse.
"Yoshiro." The baby, still feeling distraught on its current situation, looked back at his mother, who had just finished cleaning him. She stood up from where she sat and walked up to one of the windows in the room.
"I'm glad to have given birth to you." She said happily, as she stared through the window, child in hand. What the woman looked at was a small village that seemed to need some work. If anyone looked at it from a regular standpoint, they'd probably say there's some big town nearby.
In the eyes of this child, he was met with the most horrifying bell ring of his life, accompanied by texts of holographic blue.
