I froze. My breath caught in my chest. Asher… Gone? My twin brother, the one who had always been by my side—he was dead? It was as if the ground had been ripped out from beneath me. My entire world tilted, and I felt a wave of rage and despair crash over me.

I turned on the boy, anger rising within me. "How can you be so calm? How can you say it like it's nothing?" I shouted, my voice cracking. "You can't just take him from me! You can't…"

The boy didn't react to my outburst. He simply stood there, unmoving, watching me with those piercing, otherworldly eyes. Slowly, the anger drained from me, replaced by a hollow emptiness. I sank to my knees, defeated.

Time passed, or maybe it didn't. I couldn't tell. But eventually, a thought surfaced, pushing through the fog of my grief.

"Does this mean… my brother is out there somewhere if his soul left for the reincarnation wheel?" I asked, my voice small, barely a whisper.

The boy's expression softened, almost imperceptibly. "Yes," he said, and the weight of those words was enough to make my heart leap.

Liam's POV

A surge of relief flooded through me, so powerful that I couldn't contain it. I jumped to my feet, unable to suppress the joy that filled me. "YES!" I shouted, a wide grin spreading across my face. "He's alive! He's out there! He's okay!"

The boy's expression remained unchanged, but I didn't care. For the first time since I arrived, I felt a flicker of hope.

"Can I know where he went?" I asked, the question slipping from my lips before I even realized it.

The boy shook his head, his lips curling into a faint, knowing smile. "No. It's time for you to go. Where do you want to go?"

I was frustrated, still burning with curiosity. A world. A new life. A chance for something more.

"I want to go to the Naruto world," I said, my voice filled with determination. "I want the Senju bloodline, tailed-beast level chakra, all elemental nature, instant regeneration, and a high talent in sealing arts."

The boy nodded, as if my request was nothing out of the ordinary. With a flick of his hand, everything around me shifted, swirling into a vortex of light and shadows. The world I had known—everything I had been—faded away.

Liam's POV Ends

The 11-year-old boy stood alone in the vast, empty expanse. The world around him rippled and pulsed as though it was waiting for something. Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, the twin souls that had crossed paths were sent on their way.

He looked down at the high-end throne that sat before him, the dark seat of power and influence in the realm of the dead. He knew what awaited him there—what awaited the twins. But first, there was something else to attend to.

11-Year-Old Boy's POV

Interesting, very interesting. Asher believes Liam is still alive on Earth, while Liam thinks Asher has been reborn into another place. The irony is delicious—both of them are so close, yet so far. And to think that they both chose the same world—the Naruto world. Oh, this will be fun to watch.

I let out a quiet chuckle, my fingers idly tracing the edge of the throne. Time would reveal how the twins would fare in this new life. Would they meet again? Would they even remember each other? It was all so delightfully unpredictable.

But that wasn't all I had in store for them.

I hovered my hand in the air, and before me, three souls appeared. They hovered there, each one unique, each one lost in its own world. The first soul belonged to Yoriichi Tsugikuni from the Demon Slayer world. A warrior of unmatched strength and skill, he had failed to kill Muzan in his final battle, only to grow old and die at the hands of his brother, Michikatsu.

The second soul was that of Gol D. Roger from One Piece. He had lived an extraordinary life, but his time had come to an end, succumbing to a deadly illness before he could see the Pirate King's dream fulfilled. Still, he had sparked the Great Pirate Era with his final words.

And the third… it was Bunta, the hero from One Punch Man. His soul was as mundane as his life had been. With his overwhelming strength, he had destroyed every opponent in a single punch, leaving him with nothing to challenge him. Boredom had become his greatest enemy.

I smiled as I watched the souls swirl around me. They were all interesting in their own way, but none of them could compare to the entertainment I would get from the twins.

The rules of fate were never set in stone. What if they met? What if they crossed paths in this new world? The possibilities were endless.

As I sat upon my throne, my fingers lightly brushing the fabric, I wondered how long it would take before the twins began to realize the truth. Perhaps they would figure it out sooner than expected.

One thing was certain—I would not be bored for a long time.
