"Wake up!" a thunderous voice reverberated through the void, jolting me out of my slumber.

I immediately opened my eyes, startled by the abruptness of the command. In a daze, I rose to my feet, my mind struggling to comprehend the situation. I glanced around, my gaze met with an expanse of pitch-black emptiness that surrounded me.

"Where the hell am I?" I muttered to myself, my voice echoing faintly in the vast void.

"It seems you're finally awake," a voice spoke from behind me, interrupting my thoughts.

Startled, I spun around to face the source of the voice. There, standing before me, was an enigmatic figure—a man with luminous blue skin adorned with intricate golden tattoos that sparkled with an otherworldly brilliance. The tattoos formed diamond-shaped patterns on his right half and circular markings on his left, emphasizing his ethereal and mystical presence. His hair, radiant in a vibrant blue hue, cascaded around him like a shimmering waterfall. Clad in a tuxedo that emitted a captivating blue glow, reminiscent of stars scattered across the cosmos, he exuded an undeniable aura of power and divinity.

Awe-struck, I couldn't help but conclude that this person was no ordinary being; he was undoubtedly some sort of powerful deity.

"Who are you?" I asked, a mixture of curiosity and trepidation lacing my words.

"I am Aesir," the celestial being replied with a voice that resonated with authority and wisdom. "I am a God."

The confirmation of my suspicion sent a chill down my spine, confirming the divine nature of the being before me. My mind raced with a multitude of questions, eager to grasp the implications of this extraordinary encounter.

"I see... To what fortune do I owe the honor of a God conversing with me?" I asked, my voice tinged with a mix of awe and curiosity.

"Well, you see, I'm the one who reincarnated you," Aesir said with a knowing smile, his voice carrying an air of authority.

That statement didn't come as a surprise to me. After all, omnipotent beings like Gods are known for their ability to reincarnate souls. Still, I couldn't help but wonder why he chose to bring me back and why in the world of "My Hero Academia" out of all the possible realms.

Curiosity piqued, I decided to ask him the first question that came to mind. "Aesir, why did you reincarnate me?"

Opting to ask the questions separately, I wanted to ensure that I could process the information he gave me easily. It was a lot to take in, and I wanted to make sure I understood the reasons behind my reincarnation.

"It's because I accidentally pushed the 'Kill' button on you," he replied, his expression shifting slightly to reflect a mix of guilt and apology.

Confusion flooded my mind. What did he mean by accidentally pressing the "Kill" button? And who was he supposed to press it for?

Trying to recall the events leading up to my death as Saiko Akira, I remembered being struck by a massive yellow lightning bolt while standing next to the tour guide and Gojo. It became clear that the lightning was meant to kill one of them, but I was relieved that it hadn't been me.

"Who was supposed to die at that moment?" I inquired, hoping to shed some light on the situation.

"It was supposed to be Gojo," Aesir revealed, his voice tinged with a hint of regret. "According to the Heavenly Principles, it was his fate, and as a god, it is my duty to follow it. But unfortunately, I made a mistake."

So, Gojo was the intended target. But why? Had he done something terrible before I met him? I needed to understand the reasons behind this decision.

"Why him?" I pressed further, seeking clarification.
