Opening my eyes all I can see around me is white. 'So this is the end huh?' I tell myself before I stand up. Walking aimlessly around the white landscape I think about my life. 'It was a good run even though I didn't achieve my dream.'

After 30 minutes of walking, I see a round table with two chairs and a teapot with cups around it. Assuming one of them is for me I sit at the table, and then I grab the teapot before pouring the steaming tea inside the cup. The sweet, rich and bitter aroma of the tea invades my nostrils giving me bliss.

Sipping on it I melt at it's rich and flavorful taste, the calming effect of the tea erased all of my doubts about my death and what will happen. Finishing the tea I open my eyes to notice a woman in front of me.

"Did you like the tea?" She says calmly while sipping on her cup of tea.

Thinking about the bliss of the tea I nod in reply, "Thank you for the tea, I enjoyed it. Could I try it next time I come here hehe?"

Looking delighted she stands up from her chair, "Anone! You have 4 wishes and you get to choose your world to reincarnate to. Choose wisely."

Stunned by her sudden personality change I sit in my chair and ponder about my abilities

"I've decided, every power related to psychic manipulation, the power to manipulate the laws of science and darkness manipulation. My fourth wish is for you to create a background where I'm the heir to the most powerful Russian mafia that also acts as an independent arms merchant. I'll leave up all the paperwork to you Goddess-senpai." I tell her grinning with a smile.

The goddess thinks for a second and then gives me a thumbs-up before everything goes black.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's been 16 years since my birth in this new world, my new name is Ivan Volkov and I'm the sole heir to the Valkov House, a collective of powerful and influential Russian families and crime syndicates. We do dealings ranging from Human Trafficking to Arms dealing and as such are very powerful in Europe, The Americas and we have some influence in Asia on par with our current competitor the Shuei Clan yakuza which happens to have Raku as the young master of the clan.

My father named Vladimir Volkov is a former KGB agent and as such he puts me through ruthless training with the excuse ["The Volkov Clan will not have a weak heir like Raku Ichijo."]. I'm a Grand Master at close combat and my marksmanship cannot be compared to anyone else in the Valkov House.

When I get done with my body training I look at myself in the mirror. Jet black hair with a white streak in it and a chiseled face with blood-red eyes. My lower body is full of dense muscles with toned abs. The Valkov Family tattoo which is a skull with a sickle and scythe going through it adds more charm to my body.

Admiring my appearance I hear a knock at the door ["What is it?"] I reply.

["Your father has called for you in his study Master Ivan."] Exiting the room after wearing black military combat boots with black cargo pants and black short sleeve I walk towards my father's office and enter it.

["You called Father?"] I reply curious as to why he called me. And then he passed me a folder before saying ["That's your target. After this mission is done you'll travel to Japan where you'll be transferred to Hyakkaou Private Academy and I expect you have fun while expanding our influence. That is all.]

Nodding I turn around and exit the study before I read the file. 'Donald Trump huh..' I think to myself and then I prepare items that I'll need before I put it into my < Shadow: Inventory > a technique I created with my powers that links to the shadow realm and can use it as infinite storage and then I exit the mansion before going into the envoy that's waiting for me.

….

An envoy of black SUVs can be seen going down the streets of Moscow, civilians knowing that someone important withing the Volkov family is being transported stray away from the street scared of offending the family that practically owns their whole country until suddenly there's a blockade in front of the envoy.

Opening my eyes I look outside the car window and see we're being approached by mercenaries. Looking towards my driver I call out to him

["Dimitri, let's go welcome our guest."] and then he nods before we both exit the car.

Looking towards the blockade of Jeep's and I see the Extra Order Mercenary Group logo on all of them 'Ah, they've come for me?'

["Ivan Volkov! Today you die! Hahaha"] A sadistic man shouts out before raining bullets on us. Signaling my men to attack, they pull out large Ak-47's loaded with piercing bullets that rain steel and shred through their armored jeeps.

The sounds of bullets scattering across the road fill my ears until I see 'The Captain' from Black Lagoon also shooting at us while releasing a sadistic smile, looking at him ["Give me a gun.] I ask one of my nearby men and then pass me a desert eagle. Checking the magazine I see it's fully loaded and then I aim it at the knee of The Captain from the cover of the SUV door and then it hits him in the right knee. Since most of the mercenaries have been shredded by lead already I calmly walk over to The Captain and he shrieks ["AH FUCK, WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT ME KNEE YOU FUCKER."]

Looking at him pitifully rolling across the floor I chuckle before looking at him from above with a grin. ["You're in no position to complain, who hired you."']

["FUCK OFF!"] He replies and then I say ["Say hello to the goddess for me."] and then I tell one of my men to clean up the bodies and take the cars.

Continuing our journey to the airport like nothing even happened, we arrive at the airport and once we go through the checkpoint where they didn't even check me or my men I wait for our plane and see on the TV

["Breaking News! A Gunfight between The Valkov House and some mercenary group has caused havoc in The Red Square of Moscow. Witness reports say the Young Master of the Valkov House personally killed one man and then they left."] 'It's not like they can.' I laugh to myself.

["Flight B5 Moscow to New York is now boarding"] 'Ah!' I get up and then call my men over to get on the plane.

//////////////////////////

NYC, New York / 12:50 Pm.

[ "Make America great again!" ] The sound of rallying trump supports echoed throughout the plaza. On the roof of the building adjacent to where Donald Trump stood is a boy with flowing black hair aiming a Zastava M93 Black Arrow sniper rifle with a suppressor at the presidential candidate and then he squeezes the trigger releasing the hollow point bullet.

["Let's build that w"] before the orange-skinned man could say his famous words a bullet hit him straight in the brain causing the crowd to break in panic as they try to run away.

["Precision Russian engineering."] The boy lets out with a sign before making the large sniper rifle that was in his hand disappear like it was never there and then he seems to sink into his own shadow before appearing in another shadow in a dark alleyway.

Taking out a disposable phone from my < Darkness: Inventory > I dial my Father.

["Hey Papa, I've finished the job. I'll be home in a few days."] And with a click I drop the call and then dial another person. [ "Dimitri, come pick me up.] and then I drop and break the phone in half before throwing it in the side of the alley.

Noticing the girl behind me I take a glance and it's Revy from Black Lagoon. Slightly-tanned skin with auburn eyes and hair and a tribal tattoo on her right arm, large breast and thick thighs with a slightly muscular build sporting her usual military jungle boots with jean shorts that have been cut and a black tank top. Taking notice of the dual modified Berreta 92Fs Inox pistols she has on both sides.

Noticing my gaze she looks at me and says ["Done looking, kid?"] before taking the cigarette out of her mouth and throwing it on the ground with a slightly irritated expression.

["Sigh, no I wish I could see more!"] I reply acting like I'm weeping

'This kid…' Revy thinks to herself and then ask me ["So, who ya' workin' for kid."]

["Family business. What about you?"] I say leaning against the alleyway wall.

[ "No one wants to hire me after I killed my last boss, I might just head to Roanapur and find work there."] 'She hasn't been hired by Black Lagoon yet? This is my chance.'

Getting close to her I release a charming smile while searching through her memories looking for any information that may serve useful. [" So do you want to work for me? I do need a bodyguard and a private maid."]

Looking at me suspiciously she then asks ["What's the pay."]

["Ah sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ivan Valkov, heir to the Valkov House. I trust you don't need to worry about pay."]

["The Valkov House! W-why are you here in New York? And of course, I'd work for you that's where almost everyone gets their guns in this world!"] She shrieks in admiration, going closer to her I whisper in her ear. ["Don't worry about it."] and then I walk to the front of the alleyway where a white Rolls Royce was waiting and entering it.

["You comin'? I say

["Hey hold up!"] She replies running towards the car.
