All was dark for a few moments once the young man closed his eyes as his family stood around him as he lay in his hospital bed. The doctors and nurses had done everything to reduce the pain that had racked his body over the short sixteen years that he had fought to stay alive. His last thoughts flowed through his mind as he thought of his mother who had been with him the whole way, the friends that he was able to make during the times that he was able to go to school and do normal things every boy could do at his age, and the super hot raven haired and green-eyed nurse the the enormous and rather bouncy chest that was his nurse for the longest time who definitely helped with his long and dreadful stays at the hospital.

“Man…I didn’t even get a chance to kiss a pretty girl, let alone lose my virginity. This is fucking weak…” he thought to himself as he seemed to float in an endless dark void for a moment before his soul was suddenly carried forward into a tunnel of light. He suddenly felt so much lighter, and the pain was completely gone from his body before he landed on his feet softly in front of a solid white door with gold accents along it. He blinked a few times before looking around a few times before slowly approaching the door, the solid marble flooring which should normally be cold against his bare feet felt rather…warm and comfortable instead. He hesitantly reached up and knocked a couple of times on the door.

After knocking a few more times, a rather soft and alluring voice called out to him that bringing a rather warm and fuzzy feeling over his form “Please, come in young man.” said the voice before the boy stepped into the bright entryway. He lifts a rather thick and bony arm to shield his eyes a bit as he carefully makes his way into the room which had a rather large mahogany desk and a rather tall female figure sitting behind it in a large red velvety chair. The boy looked at her then at the desk and suddenly whispered “Mahogany…” in a low tone of voice. Damn Team4Star and their influence on the youth.

The shrouded female figure cleared her throat softly, getting the young man’s attention “Heinrich Schwarzschild, age sixteen years. Passed away due to complications from cancer. You gave a strong and valiant fight, my dear. But…it just seems that this time, fate was not on your side…I truly do feel for you. As you never really got to have the joys of a normal boy’s youth. So, in accordance with the big man’s rules, you are allowed to start over in a new world and you can take one thing that you desire with you. It could be literally anything you desire. Magical power, a complete understanding of the world’s knowledge, the sky’s the limit. But, like I said. Only one thing.”

Heinrich blinked a few times before letting all this register before asking “So…do I have a choice to just skip reincarnation and head right to paradise where all the cuties and hotties are? Because…I am totally cool with that.” he said in his german accent, the boy having been from Germany. The shrouded woman blinked a few times before responding “Your way of thinking is rather…mature for your age..” she said as she then watched him throw his hands up in slight frustration. “Well, when you have such an attractive woman who is your nurse as you go in and out of hospitals, a young man tends to really develop a taste for beautiful women quickly…” he said as he then went back to the subject at hand “Soooo…paradise full of bombshell beauties for meeee?” he asked with a smile and arched brow.

The woman let out a sigh of slight frustration before placing the palm of her hand on her face. Heinrich didn’t really appreciate her tone on the subject and crossed his arms “Hey...I didn’t ask for the life I was given. Alright? Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for my loving parents and friends who were with me the whole way. But you gotta understand, lady. Life was a bit harder for me than most folks who had normal lives. I don’t think I am being too demanding..” he said with a narrowed gaze.

The shadowed woman let out a sigh and slammed a hand upon her desk “I understand that, but that's not how things work around here! Now then, I don’t have time to just sit here and debate with you! Now, decide on what you want so I can send you off to your next life for heaven’s sake!” she said as she raised her voice at him. How very unprofessional of her! Heinrich scoffed slightly before rubbing his chin in thought at what he could desire in his next life. He thought, and thought. It wasn’t until a rather devious thought popped up into his head before he noticed the notepad and pen atop her desk.

“Very well, I will comply so I can get out of your SUPER busy schedule,” he said in a mocking tone before walking up and grabbing said pen and the notepad before writing on it. He started to hum a little bit, no particular tune, just knowing that he was absolutely about to wreck this bitch’s day with loads of paperwork “Yell at me. Will you?” he thought to himself before placing the pen back on the table and tearing out the sheet of paper before handing it off to her “I desire to acquire everything on this single list to be given to me upon my first breath into this new world with no negative repercussions to me, my family, friends, possible lover, or patients. That is the one thing I desire.” he said with a wicked smile forming on his face while folding his arms over his chest.

The woman was about to protest, holding up a finger as she looked over the document he had slammed on her desk in front of her. But he was absolutely right. The way he had worded it was absolutely within the proper parameters of what was explained to him. “Y-You can’t..this is…you little..” she said as she huffed and puffed as she looked down at him. “Will you be finishing any of these sentences? Or will you be granting my ONE desire?” he asked with that smug look on his face still. The shadowed woman reaches forward and presses a button on what appears to be some kind of conference phone “C-Can I get a supervisor…please?” she asked through her teeth, rather annoyed that a human of all beings pulled one over on her.

As she and two others spoke behind the curtains that surrounded them, Heinrich couldn’t help but overhear their conversation “What’s the big deal?! He followed the rules that are set in place, we just need to be more thorough when we bring it up at the next breakfast meeting next month! Given that this young man had all the time in the world to develop such out of the box thoughts, it's no wonder he found a hole!” said one of them. “I mean, the people of the world he is being sent to will benefit more from him than himself by leaps and bounds! If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he wanted to do this for others than himself!” said the other.

The one whom he had been dealing with let out a growl of frustration before stomping her foot “You two don’t get it, a lowly human just got the better of a celestial being, and you are completely fine with it?!” she said loud enough that Heinrich could hear every single word “A lowly human huh? I will be sure to make sure this memory of our lovely time together reaches your bossman when I reach out to him on my way out. How’s that sound, sweetheart?” he asked as they must have forgotten he was literally right there within earshot.

The female being who had been sassy to him suddenly changed her attitude real quick when she heard him make that threat, slowly turning to him with a more soft and gentle tone “Very..well. If you promise to keep this whole ordeal from the higher ups, we can forget this all happened and I can send you on your way~.” she said before taking a large ornate stamp and slammed it down with the word ‘APPROVED’ on it before it disappeared and was sent into the billions of archives for safekeeping.

Heinrich nodded with a smile before he started to glow slightly before a white light appeared below him. Seems it was time for him to go and begin his new life with the list of perks and abilities he had requested in the single item. Looking towards no specific direction, he smiled with a chuckle “To the author and the reader. Get ready, I am going to be doing my best to live this new life as best as possible, but I am definitely going to be having my fun in messing with you all…”

(Oh god damnit….he fucking picked breaking the fourth wall as one of the items on the list?!?!)

“That’s right! And unless you wanna come up with a better idea after all that brainstorming, you are stuck with me now!” he said before following through the light and cackling like a madman on the way down and into his new life. He continues to lazily fall further and further as he then gazes up “So author? Where exactly are you sending me anyway?” he asks.

(Well, since you can break the fourth wall now, you will be pleased to know I am sending you to a fun little universe that involves anthropomorphic pastel colored ponies. Which I am sure you know as My Little Pony. And guess what? You might be able to break the fourth wall, but this is MY story. You aren’t Discord. So MEH! Now, get on with your new life.)

“Oh well fuck you too then. Not like I wanna write your work for you anyway! Now shut up and get to work those fingers of yours and make it a good one. Your work thus far has been pretty subpar. Don’t even know why the people who read your lame ass stories even bother! Do you seriously have nothing better to do?” Heinrich said before he was suddenly swallowed up by darkness.

It wasn’t until he slowly opened his eyes once more that he felt..rather small. He could hear voices as they started as muffled but soon became clear. His gaze shifted through what appeared to be a familiar setting, a sterile white hospital room. Did he somehow come back to life..? No, that could be the case. He lifted up his hands as they appeared to be rather small…and covered in white fur it seemed. He blinked a few times before tilting his head up to see a white furred unicorn mare with a long and lush silver mane with blue eyes. He knew right away that this was his mother by how she was staring at him with an exhausted, but loving smile.

Heinrich..or rather Innocentius as both his new mother and father had unanimously named him right away looked towards his father who had reached out and picked him up with a proud smile on his face. The father was wearing a doctor’s coat and wore a badge on the left breast pocket. It would seem that one of the other items on his list was honored. Being born into a family that had at least one parent in the medical field. Would his mother be as well? That was for him to find out later. But the stallion in question was a tall and brawny one but had the most gentle of green eyes and a smile that could settle even the most distraught of patients with solid black fur and a long slicked back black mane and tail with a unicorn horn sticking out of his forehead.

Innocentius was placed back down into his mother’s arms before he was gently rocked in the embrace “Innocentius..my sweet baby boy..” his new mother cooed before kissing his forehead. “Hmmm…seems I don’t have my voice quite yet…but I can at least understand what they are saying as if they were speaking my own language from my last life. And I seem to have returned all my memories from my past life. And I have new medical knowledge it seems..quite a lot of it. Looks like those two items made it as well. I won’t know about the others till I get the chance to try them though. But..I don’t think now is a good time…” he thought to himself.

He turns his head to gaze at the mirror next to where his new mother lay with him in her arms. He sees that he has been born as a unicorn himself, the white fur he knew about already, but from what he could tell, his mane and tail were a solid black like his father’s. But what really caught his attention was the rather piercing yellow eyes that gazed back at him which seemed to have a noticeable natural glow to them. “Hmm…that’s a little spooky..” he thought to himself again before closing his eyes and getting rather sleepy very quickly.

“Well, I was just born...I’d imagine being rather exhausted….being forced out of my mother like that. Time for a nice long nap..” he thought to himself once more before falling into a deep sleep. This was his new life now. The son of a doctor who would follow in his father’s footsteps. Even if the father himself didn’t know it yet. As Innocentius had made sure that he would be the one saving people instead of them saving him. But at the same time, he was going to live his new life to the fullest and do the things he never got to do in his former life. He was going to make this second chance his for the taking.

((Yeah, only because I am allowing it to happen. You know, I didn’t have to make this story happen. I have two other stories I should be working on right now. But nooooo, my mind said I needed to create a snarky fourth wall breaking character who also has a heart of gold and will be one of the greatest doctors and healers ever. Sometimes I wonder why I torment myself with even more workload…)
