Rimuru POV:

It had been awhile since I felt this sensation. The sensation of reincarnation. This seemingly inescapable darkness surrounds me; enveloping me in the infinite embrace of the dimensional gaps.

After taking my position as the god presiding over all of creation I expanded the reaches of existence, but as I increased its size I also added more barriers to separate parts of creation. Those barriers were dimensional gaps. Infinite expanses of pure emptiness; pieces of reality devoid of all life that merely served as a way to mitigate interference between realities.

I didn't want the Cardinal World to limit the growth or diversity of other worlds, universes, and other aspects of reality. I took inspiration from Ramirus and Veldanva in how I would structure these different parts of reality that I would sector off into layers.

I reigned supreme over all of creation; known and unknown. Past, present, and future. These were all things I could dictate. If I were to sum my existence to other pieces of reality beyond the dimensional gap I would be defined as one thing simply– The Manifestation of Fate and of the End.

I could be called a god in the eyes of all but each reality was left to develop unrestricted by me or the VoTW. This meant beings could grow to the status of 'god' in the eyes of the people among the different realities. I did this out of curiosity; I wished to see how far other people could and would go.

Alas there was a single barrier, a singular wall they would never overcome. They would never be able to surpass the dimensional gap; to surpass the endless void that existed before the barrier of their reality touched the dimensional gap.

Frankly I had no clue what level of reality Ciel, Velz, and myself would be reincarnating into. I left it to 'Fate'. If I knew the layer of reality we would be reincarnating in knowledge of all of that reality's pasts, presents, and futures would begin to flood my mind. That alone would ruin this short life we were intending to experience.

I wanted to avoid knowing who I would meet, when I may, where I might be, and how my relationships could change due to this new life in another world. I liked the idea of being unaware of what my life may hold.

It was the reason I never wanted to accept true omniscience but alas here we are; a good thing did come with this change in me– I can control things I couldn't properly before and at least I have the knowledge of how to curb or mitigate my foresight.

I can only hope or wish for one thing- I pray that when I open my eyes; when I see the world I will reside I may be blessed with a fruitful life. I don't need much; just a nice place to relax after so long would be lovely.

I pray that I will be able to look upon this life fondly and that I may experience new things- more than anything I wish; I wish for a small moment to just breathe.

Closing my mind I laid back calmly as I let the embrace of rebirth wash over me. I let the stresses, anxieties, and my anticipations wash away. A mimicked sensation; one like when you close your eyes to fall asleep enveloped me as a calm came to my heart- to my soul.

At the very least the surprise I left Ciel and Velz will be a treat to see their reactions. Yet, I have this odd feeling- interference but from where?

I didn't know why at the time but I could at least tell– this life would not be so simple, despite that it prove fruitful in many ways.
