All very well and good, brother of mine, however, this little bit tasks me...
To me this is like how in slapstick comedy cartoons when the main character gets nailed by the classic falling anvil... and then a lemon meringue pie drops on top of the anvil to add insult to injury. Note that the 'just because I feel like it' thing only really works in slapstick comedy (although Curb Stomps are notorious for this, too - however, look carefully and you will see the elements of slapstick in just about any Stomp).
Also, can we get a little more constructive input here? I apologize if he wasn't too clear, but he needs a bit of help in the world building and I'd love it if he would quit tying up my precious mental bandwidth with his fun plot bunnies.

the Ominous bit, you can add in ROB (Random Omnipotent Being.) He created this world based off of earth.
When
a Main character is born, or in some cases added (as in people can
become Main characters.) this ROB takes notice, and determines a plot
line for that character.
This character, once their story is
over, dies, and is reborn in another reality where this character is
reborn for a new setting without the stigma of the knowledge of main
characters.
And this is a known thing throughout the world, and
Mika (the main character in this story line.) is trying to avoid that,
or at least chose which genre she will become apart of.
