Far be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]
Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.
But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.
[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]

[text; oh no i'm late]
Titles and blood mean jack shit now. The faster somebody realizes that, the better off they are.
Whether someone's a god, a king, or a peasant, we all start on equal ground here. This is a place where strength and the will to fight determine everything.
Kinda like it better that way, myself.
[text; it's fine it's fine]
That's it exactly! And that's why this world is as good as it is. With the truly strong in power, nobody is forced under their command and left to languish. [YEAH LET'S...GO WITH THAT]
[text; ;w;]
Sure, that's one way to look at it. Course, if the wrong kind of people get the right kind of power, I guess we could end up in trouble. But that's not happened in all the time I've been here, so it's probably nothing to worry about.
[text]
If they win it fairly and hold it then perhaps they're entitled to it. But if those in power are disagreeable then we're free to challenge them where they are aye? So it all works out.

[IT'S CANON DON'T LOOK AT ME]
True enough, of course. Actually, this kind of world is just the kind I think I'm suited to. It works well for people that don't care much about their status to begin with.

Don't know what to tell you, kid. I'm definitely the genuine article, but whether or not you buy into that is really just up to you. Doesn't make a bit of difference to me whether you think I'm really myself or just some delusional idiot that can hold a spear.

Although on second thought I guess I've been called worse.

Spirit's the most accurate definition, sure. Let's go with that one for now.

[my god this is a mess of a text]

How should I know whether it works one way or another where you come from? I'm not anything made of human will or whatever: I was alive, I died, then I was summoned back as a spirit. Simple.
[text]
...The whole spirit thing, not the spelling.]
Died as a human? How?
[text]
Died as a demigod, technically. But that's really down to a matter of semantics, so it doesn't make a difference.
As for 'how', I got a fucking spear thrown at me. Pretty straightforward.

What does being dead feel like?
[Like, properly dead. For him it doesn't feel like anything but then he came here so.]
[text]
I don't know. Felt like nothing, I guess.

What makes you so special in death of all things?
[text]
People like me, who in life accomplished things that made them well known and renowned heroes of legend? They're prevented from going to any sort of afterlife and instead get committed to an otherworldly record of sorts called the Throne of Heroes.
From there, we can be summoned back to the living world like I was.
