Welcome to RB. 

A revolutionary technology created by Rebirth Inc. Finally, you can achieve the life you've always wanted through the DNA of some of our greatest ancestors. 

A President, a Martial Artist, an Actor. You can have all their skills, all their fame, their life. Everything can be yours through the power of Rebirth

How does it work? 

Complex technology analyzes your very DNA, and then intersects it with the analyzed DNA of whom you want to be.

By interweaving DNA, and then deleting certain parts of your DNA, you effectively become that person, while still remaining.. you.

Good luck, and enjoy your new life.

A 14 year old black haired boy grinned as he watched the massive holographic screen play the add within the ginormous room.

He was an ordinary looking boy by all respects, a high schooler from the poor slum districts of Varus City, capital of the world.  He wore a black leather jacket, and a pair of blue jeans.

"Finally!" said Narin Jousuke as he held up his ticket he had gotten from a prize drawing at his school. "I get to be a hero! Hell yeah! This is the happiest day of my life!!"

"Man I'm jealous." Narin's friend, a sandy haired guy who wore a simple black t-shirt and denim shorts put an arm around Narin's shoulders. "Didn't we promise we'd get here together? Become heroes? But.. I guess I didn't catch up.."

"Aww.. come on Stoor." said Narin. "You'll get there.. there's another sweepstakes for a ticket to RB next year!"

"Yep, but even if I win, what's to guarantee that there will be any Hero DNA available." said Stoor. "Ahh.. don't worry about me.. go, have fun."

"What heroes do you think they have available?" Narin said, chuckling to himself. "What about Dynamo from 2017? He was a classic! Or Astro Man!"

"All of them buff with the power to fly and blast mountains to pieces!" said Stoor. "Damn Narin, you want to go overpowered? You've got to go with Overlord!"

"Hmmm.." Narin shook his head. "Not possible, Overlord was taken last week.."

"Wait.. WHAAAAT!?" said Stoor. "Come on! Of all the luck? Who became Overlord?"

"The usual rich kid being treated by his family." said Narin with a shrug. "Anyways, with that law in place where only one person can be one RB Identity at a time, even if they still had the Scans of Overlord's DNA in storage, they wouldn't let me use them until the current Overlord died.."

"Well.. maybe you can just wing it?" said Stoor. "Just tell em you want somebody that's really powerful.. and popular! Anyways, I can't wait to see what you look like.. go on!"

RB Inc. That was where they were now. the main lobby of the company was around 12 football stadiums large. It's ceiling was clear Ultraglass, a type of material strong enough to take a shot from a tank. beyond the ceiling.. the world's most massive aquarium surrounded the lobby as Humpback Whales swam by accompanied by schools of fish.

The inside of the lobby decorated with a cure luminescent floor that glowed with white light, and desks made of glass with floating touch screen holograms floating above them, each one with it's own secretary.

All around the lobby were large round platforms on which people stepped onto before being bathed in a white light and taken through a wormhole that teleported them around the company, which possessed absolutely no doors.

The year 2299 was full of these wonders.

Stoor and Narin walked over to one of the desks, which was being run by a green haired girl in a secretary's outfit. She had glowing green pupils, the glow alerting one to the fact that this girl was in fact, actually an android.

"Hello, my data informs me we have been expecting you Narin Jousuke. " said the android. "Please, allow me to show you to your memory pod.. but first.."

The android smiled and brought out a holographic rectangle on  which was a list of names. "According to your survey, you prefer a hero for your Rebirth.. please select your preference.."

"Hmm.." said Narin, looking at the names. "Uhhhh... there are so many.. I can't pick.."

Narin smacked a fist against his hand and grinned. "Alright then, just give me the most powerful one on your list!!"

The Android frowned. "Er.. are.. you sure? Maybe you'd like to be more specific?"

"Oh come on!" said Stoor. "If we spend our sweet time looking for the perfect one, we'll be here forever."

"Well.." said the Android, looking at her holographic clipboard. "It's just that.. maybe you'd like to wait a week or so for a better selection.. this one is rather.. er.."

"Listen.. umm.. what's your name?" said Narin.

"My designation is Stacy Unit 2345578." said the Android.

"I'm going to call you Stacy." said Narin. "Stacy, have you ever had.. a special guy?"

Stacy frowned. "Sir, I'm an android.. I can't reproduce.. I feel no need for any other relationship then perhaps a friendly acquaintance."

"Well.. I FEEL A NEED TO REPRODUCE!!" said Narin, pumping his fist into the air. "There's a girl.. in the Hero's Academy I have my eye on..  oh yes..  FATE RIDER!! The most beautiful of all girl super heroes from the 21st CENTURY!!!" 

"That's not really Fate Rider.." said Stacy. "That's just a girl, Zanna Rowen, who was rebirthed with Fate Rider's powers, skills and body.."

"BUT STILL!" said Narin. "Zanna -chan is smart, funny, famous, and an idol in personality overall! WITH FATE RIDER'S LOOKS! She is my destiny Stacy.. are you going to keep me from my destiny!!? ARE YOU!?"

"Well, are you!?" said Stoor, his eyes sparkling while he held out a thumbs up. "I Support your dream Narin! Go.. chase your Fate!"

Stacy rolled her eyes. "Dear Processors.. fine.. get on the platform.. your friend can wait in the exit lobby until the process is complete.. and as usual, the hero you change into is going to be synced to your current age.. so it will be 16 years old just like your original body, so though it might not look like the hero before it died, but you will possess their power nonetheless.. are you okay with that? Or would you like me to sync to the hero's original age?"

"I would like to experience the thrill of completing my childhood thank you." said Narin as he stepped on the teleportation platform.. "Just one question.. will the ladies love how I look?"

"Well.. in a sense.." said Stacy.

"THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!" said Narin. "Fire her up!"

"Oh dear me.." Stacy muttered as she pressed a button on her desk.

There was a large light.. as Narin felt himself sucked through a wormhole...

When the light cleared, he was sitting in a comfortable leather chair. He was in a slim pod of some sort, with a television screen in front of him, saying "Loading, please wait."

This looked like one of those memory pods from an Old Generation Game Narin once played called Fallout 4. Interesting, so this technology used for Rebirth hadn't really been upgraded in a long while, what with it's retro appearance.

It was extremely dark except for the television screen, so Narin couldn't feel much else.. he felt water begin to fill up the pod.. submerging him.. while a breather attached itself to his face.

Everything began to go dim... and then black..

Nothing but blackness..

_____________

Narin opened his eyes to see a fuzzy light glaring him right in the face. Did.. he not have his clothes? He felt his bare skin was lying on something cold, and there was something draped over his body...

Hmm.. he felt oddly smaller.. and skinnier? No that wasn't the word... slender..

A fuzzy shape with gloved hands was shining a light into his eye.. snapping his fingers. "Hey! Hey there! Are you alright? Can you say something for me?"

"Huh? Where?" Narin muttered.

"Good good!" The room began to come into shape as what apparently was a doctor in scrubs and a mask put away his light. "You're experiencing a little bit of short term memory loss but that'll disappear in around 12 seconds. You remember why you're here?"

"Rebirth.." Narin whispered. Odd.. his voice sounded.. higher..

"Nice, brain functions are looking normal," said a blue haired android nurse with glowing pink eyes. "You've successfully morphed into your new body Narin. You're doing great.. now, can you tell us if you're experiencing any memories you've never had before?"

"Mmm.." Narin thought a bit. "I think I know.. Jujitsu.."

"Right, the hero you chose knew some martial arts.. now.. do you remember who your parents are?"

"They live.. in the slum districts?"

"Whew." said the male doctor. "Looks like she didn't get any of the hero's personal memories.. that's good. Those can be a psychological nightmare."

"She?" Narin muttered. Probably just a fumble of the tongue.

"Now.. we're going to get your motor skills up and running, and get you some clothes, shouldn't take more then 10 minutes.." said the Nurse..

He must have been on a gurney, because he saw the ceiling shift and move, and doctors walk past his vision as a rolling feeling was felt on the fabric he lay on.  A moment later, he was in another room, and the doctors were telling him to do various tasks, such as tap his fingers together, or shift and move his leg.

Weirdly enough, he didn't feel as physically strong as he used to.. actually, that wasn't the word for it.. truth was.. this body was athletic compared to his own, just weirdly delicate.. in fact his fingers felt like extra precise tweezers compared to his old meaty man fingers.

Finally, after a few tests.. the android nurse nodded. "Okay, I want you to sit up.. slowly."

The doctors helped Narin as he sat up slowly, and groaned a bit, before looking directly in front of him.

There was another gurney in the room with him.. and sitting on the gurney, looking just as dazed, was a girl

She had medium length white hair that had a strangely hypnotic look to it, as if lightning might jump out any second. The ends of her hair seemed to glow bluish. Her eyes were a deep purple. And, forgive Narin for mentioning this.. as it was his childish habit to notice this, her breast measurements seemed to be average for her age, which seemed to be his own..  wait a second..  was she wearing anything..?

Narin blinked for a minute, and the girl blinked back.

"OH!! DAMN!! SORRY!!" Narin screamed, covering his eyes, feeling himself blushing.  I didn't realize there was a girl in here!! My apologies!! Please forgive me!!"

"Narin.." said the Android Nurse gently. "There is nobody else in here, that's a mirror.. "

"What?" said Narin.

"That's you."

Narin uncovered HER face.. and looked back at her reflection in the mirror.. she blinked, and the girl blinked back, she raised a hand, and she did the same.."

"Say hello to the body of Shocker Girl!" said the doctor. "A hero from Kyoto who was big  for around 2 years! Your new self.."

Narin felt horror rise through her face as her reflection in the mirror displayed a slowly dawning expression to match.

"But... I... am... a... GUY!!!!!!!!!"

Narin screamed the final word at the top of her lungs as the doctors started with fright.

"Wait.. but!! WHAT!?" said the Android nurse. "N-no male customer in the history of the business has ever selected a female! Except maybe perverted otakus, but then their mothers were always around to stop them.."

"I'M NOT A PERVERTED OTAKU!!" Narin roared picking up a surgical tray from in the room and throwing it. "GOD DAMN IT!! CHANGE ME BACK!!"

"S-sorry sir.. or ma'am.. or.. eh.. whatever you are!" said the doctor. "A human being can only be rebirthed once! That's a scientific fact!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!" Narin screamed, as she screamed electrical energy began to surge from her body.

"Narin! Your new body is practically an bioelectric generator of an untold amount of voltage!" yelled the Android Nurse. "Calm down!!"

"THIS HAS TO BE A DREAM!!" Narin continued to scream as lightning blasted around her body and fried several computer consoles.

Suddenly, Narin stopped, her vision dimmed as she realized that a doctor had stuck a needle in her.

"Now.. that's.. .just.. rude." Narin muttered, before fainting straight away..

The Waiting Room was far smaller compared to the main lobby. It was designed with plush red carpets, couches, and tables with magazines. All in all, it looked like an ordinary doctor's waiting room.

The purpose of this was to not stress out relatives or patients when waiting for the results of the Rebirthing operation.

Stoor lounged back on the couch humming to himself as several hovering egg shaped robots with surgical tools in the arms, levitated back, making humming sounds.

"Stoor.."

Stoor looked up, and there was the white haired girl, wearing a black t shirt with a white thunderbolt design on it, and blue shorts.

"Well.. hello there!" said Stoor with a wink. "I don't believe I know you.. but it seems you know me! Have we met?"

"Please don't talk like that to me.." Narin groaned. "We did a bad thing Stoor, just winging it with the choices.."

"Eh?" said Stoor. "Wait.. FFFFFFFFF*******CK! WHAT! NARIN!?"

"GODDAMN IT STOOR!!" Narin fell to her knees, tears falling out of her eyes like Niagra Falls. "I MESSED UP!!"

"Messed up!?" Stoor growled. "DO YOU GET HOW JEALOUS I AM!!!?"

"Eh?" said Narin.

"LOOK AT YOU!" Stoor roared. "do you know how many hentai fans like me dream of becoming what you are!? DO YOU !!!? DAMN IT NARIN YOU HOT BEAUTIFUL BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!?"

Narin punched Stoor in the face furiously. "SHUT UP YOU PERVERT! I'M NOT LIKE YOU!! My life is ruined.. and more importantly.."

Narin fell on all fours this time. "My sweet goddess Fate Rider!! She's lost to me now!! I can't ever date ever again!!"

"Hmmm.." said Stoor. "Maybe she's a lesbian?"

Narin punched Stoor in the head again. "I AM NOT BECOMING A LESBIAN!!!!"

"Well.. more importantly.." said Stoor, rubbing the bruise on his head. "What are you going to tell your parents?"

Narin began to tremble.. then she went white, said "Good night.." and plain fainted in the middle of the lobby.

(Important: this is a book for both guys and girls, which is why I wrote from the point of view of a guy, not being a guy myself, I had to question other guys for help on designing the experiences of this book. So, don't assume this is some fat redneck in his basement with too many episodes of Date A Live crammed in his  DVR. Frankly I've never watched Date A Live, but that's how my sister describes those kinds of people XD.)

I gained the idea for this story, from watching my sister write A Railgun In Fairy Tail, watching reruns of One Piece, and Dimension W (which me and sis watch a bunch, love Mira-chan!)
