*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
The repeated beeping of an alarm clock filled the room.
"Time to get up already?"
A voice relented as the alarm beeped. A hand came out from underneath the blankets, straight towards the alarm to shut it off. But instead the clock fell, shattering on impact with the hardwood floor.
*CRASH*
"I guess I'm starting off with some bad luck today, I wonder if anything else will happen."
After about thirty minutes of preparing teenage boy walked out of his bedroom, fully refreshed looking full of energy. The boys name was Azriel, Azriel Dawn.
(Azriel was born into a middle class family, although he is currently living with his older brother inside of a rented 2-room apartment.)
As he exited his room the smell of iron quickly assaulted his nose, he turned to look down the hallway only to find a pool of red liquid.
"This smell... That color... It could only be.. Blood, but why is-"
He was cut off mid sentence by the sound of footsteps and an eerie humming.. It went like;
Hm. Hm, Hm. Hm. Hm. Hmmm. Hmmmmm, Hmmmm
He recognized this tune, the way they hummed.. It was just like his mother, it was her favorite tune from her favorite movie 'Harry Potter'. He started shaking...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried. And then he saw a women standing in front of him with a kitchen knife, it was odd because the moment he saw her even though he was in this situation he still had to admire her beauty. This woman was his mother, Angelica Dawn.
Some of you may be confused as to why this is happeneing, no? Well lets flash back 9 Years on Azriels 5th birthday.
The Family merrily sings the happy birthday song.
As the whole family was gathered aroung the table singing happy birthday to the 5 year-old boy. The mother then lit the candles on the cake and said.
"Little Azriel, you have to blow out your candles and make a wish so it can come true okay? If you dont wax will be all over your cake."
"Mama im five now, so im big. Also why do I have to blow out the candles? Sometimes when I make a wish it doesnt come true." Azriel responded
The mother stared at him blankly for a second and then said.
"Its okay if your wish doesnt get granted, because if you tell me or your papa your wish we can grant it for you instead of the birthday fairy."
"But why doesnt the birthday fairy always grant my wishes? Doesnt that mean its a lie if you always tell me they will come true.... Mama that means you lied and thats not good, so now I hate you! Dont talk to me if your just gonna lie, HMPH."
The mother just stared at him at a loss for words, her mouth just hung slightly open.
Then she said.
"Well sometimes when we lie we dont know its a lie, there are many uncertain things in this world, just like we dont know everything that will happen neither does the wish fairy, maybe it was too busy or something, so i wasnt lying. But anyways, try making a wish so the pretty cake isnt ruined."
"Hmmmmm, I guess that makes sense. Then I wish that there were no more uncertain things in the world so mama doesnt have to lie to-"

*SLAP*
She slapped him, although at the time it was an accident. She is a very insecure person who cares about every little thing said about her, and she especially hates being accused of something.
The mother quickly snapped out of her daze and realized her mistake, she slapped him as though she was hitting an adult which caused him to fall from his chair and hit the floor unconscious.
The other two family members looked over at the scene and quickly became enraged.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WOMEN?!" The father yelled, his voice like booming thunder.
anyway to wrap up what happened, the mother and father got into a whole argument while the boy was taken to the hospital to make sure there werrent any serious injuries. The mother was sent to jail for child abuse and attempted murder, (I say this because it was entirely possible he could have died from the collision with the hardwood floor, and because the judge was not happy with her because the reasonsshe gave were literally stupid)
Anyway, she went to jail for a few years, then rehab. And finally tracked her sons to their apartment to kill them both because she still hated the youngest.
(Now to come back to date)
She was standing directly in front of him, with a deadpan expression, there was silence all around as they just stared at each other. Then you could here what sounded like water droplets, slowly falling to the floor.
He soon realized it was not water.
*Drip*
His eyes widened as he saw his brothers severed head in his mothers other hand.
*Drip*
He stopped breathing, tears started welling up in his eyes, it stung, it was burning.. It felt like acid invading his tear ducts.
*Drip*
*Stab*
*Thud*
He was stabbed.. Directly into his heart, by the one who gave birth to him, as he was dying he heard her say.
“Sure, I gave you life, so its only fair i take it away right? I mean you should be smart enough to understand- @$);@:&)-“
As the life was draining from him and his vision was growing darker his last thought was.
“But I don’t understand, why….”
He was confused, why did his mother come kill him? Its not his fault his dad abused the court system to get her arrested. Its not like he meant for that to happen.
Then be woke up in a small room. It seemed to be made entirely of wood.
Then he heard a voice.
“Hello child, how are you?”
He didn’t know where the voice was coming from, but it made him feel warm inside, he felt as if he should just forget everything that happened, he decided to respond.
“I-“
The voice interrupted
“Its okay child, you don’t have to respond I know how your feeling. In fact I know everything about you, poor child I will grant you three wishes before I send you off, make sure your certain because as soon as you say it aloud your wish will be granted.” The spirit said
‘Wait. Does this mean I pretty much get to reincarnate like those light novels and comics I read? HAHAHAHA, my dreams have come true, I know exactly what I want, Im going to be just like those overpowered MCs that I’m always jealous of, AHAHAHA my plan is perfect. But then again even they end up dying sometimes and have to get brought back by plot armor, Hmmmm. So Immortality will be good, but then again what if they just erase me, or I age, hmmmmmm and what if I get captured so they can sell my organs repeatedly for tons of cash, or I get experimented on. Hmmmmmm, OKAY IVE DECIDED, I will just become the most broken and busted character ever.’ He thought
“My first wish is full immortality” He said
“When you say full, you mean like aging, and stuff right? Thats gonna be super boring you know.” The spirit replied
“Yeah, but I can handle it also I have a question that I don’t want to count as a wish or something, can I bring my headphones because music is my lifeline, especially if I’m gonna be immortal and its gonna be boring?” He asked
“Uh, I mean that would kind of count as a wish but since you have a valid reason I guess ill break the rules a teeny bit, but only this once and I’m only doing it for my own amusement not cuz I feel bad or anything.” The spirit responded
“My second wish is invulnerability.” He said
“Wh- Why? Don’t you literally have immortality, you already cannot die, your just wasting another wish like that?! Do you even know how much these wishes co- I mean uh, why do you need this?” The spirit said in a slightly distressed tone
“Well, for one thing I don’t wanna be hurt, even if I am immortal because that would suck. Imagine someone just kills me again for no reason and I’m temporarily stunned since I’m regenerating and then they find out I’m regenerating and kill me again for my organs to sell them for billions of dollars. Then ill just be a slave to them so they can be eternally rich. And the other is because I wanna be a broken MC, even if I’m not the MC ill just be a busted side character, like those old immortals & hidden experts who don’t get involved in ‘worldly matters’.” He replied.
“Thats- That- I-It Makes sense but- Ah what the hell, okay third wish.” The spirit said
Then Azriel had the biggest grin on his face, the spirit could swear it touched his ears at that moment and it thought.
‘Ahhh, this kid is gonna make me go clear my savings and my main account, doesn’t he know that wishes cost money?!?! Im already nice enough to buy wishes for him because I feel bad, but DAMN he’s going way passed my budget, they were supposed to be SIMPLE wishes, S-I-M-P-L-E, but nooooo now my wallet has nothing left…. Im probably gonna go into debt with his third wish -sigh-.’
“My third and final wish is-“
The spirit suddenly had a bad premonition and decided to tell him to keep it simple (but was really just afraid for its poor wallet, and the heavenly loan sharks).
“Child wait a second you need to keep this wish simple, or else the universe wont be able to handle it! (he lied, it was just his wallet that wouldn’t be able to handle it)“
It was then it realized, for some reason he couldn’t hear him.
“My third wish is Instant comprehension of any and all techniques, skills, traits basically all the good stuff, OH and languages that I see or hear (language wise) to the max level with no drawbacks or limitations” He said.
The spirit was stunned, no dumbfounded, no it was shocked for its poor life because it realized it muted itself so it could curse at this kids choices and forgot to unmute to tell him to keep it simple. And after his final wish an astronomical sum of 1 Googolplex was taken out of his account, at first it was a few hundred thousand with the first two wishes, but this- this amount- It was just too much.
He was now deep in the negatives, so deep that it would take him a few hundred billion years to even get half of that money. The spirit wanted to scream, it wanted to beat this kid black and blue for doing this. But then it remembered it had to complete its job, so it decided to get revenge by throwing him into a normal world, and not one with magical powers like he wanted to go into.
Then the spirit sighed to itself and could only shed one tear, which coincidentally went into his nostril and he breathed it in coughing and wheezing, he just wanted the kid to leave so he just clicked the randomization button, not even caring where he got sent to. Soon after his home was swamped by The HDC, ( Heavenly Debt Collectors ) and investigators to figure out why he owed so much money to the bank.
Very quickly he rose in fame and fell into a depression, and that was pretty much the end of the spirits story…. For now.
