My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

[REWRITE VERSION -- Note: Probably going to change the title at some point] Meredith Akira is a child that loves anime. It was really, the only light of his world in the year 2150 where the world is on the verge of collapse. Human greed and cowardness evolved over the years while the nature around them deteriorated. He scavenged the world for whatever was left of Japanese animation considered trash of the past. On his 12th birthday, his only wish came true: Being able to live in the world of One Piece, his first and favourite anime. Granted by his long-lost father who was not what he appeared to be. With the ability to access powers and talents from other animes organized by a gaming system, he shall spread his name and influence across the Grandline. The name of "Meredith D. Akira." ... "The world before was too small for you that it had the audacity to oppress you. In this world...live the life you want. Show them the presence of a demigod." ... Akira wants to know all of it. From the Revolutionaries to the Marines, from the Piracy to Nobility. From Celebrity to Notoriety. He wants to experience it all. To live alongside the characters--no people who inspired him. ... "And maybe...in this new world, you can experience the other side of humanity you only had a taste of. Love, Friendship, Loyalty, Family, Freedom." ... And maybe...just maybe he could find out the ending. (For all his searching, he could never find the last episodes of One Piece.) ~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o INCLUDES: Gamer/RPG-like system.
