I'll take the plunge and spin your wheel." Robert answered with caution though the blue light his form gave off intensified from his excitement creating a some rather dark shadows off stage.
" Well then my show can now begin." Robert said as confetti cannons suddenly appeared on either side of the stage and fired, while a tv filming camera appeared in the center of the stage taking everything in.
"What the!" Robert screamed in shocked at the sudden confetti blast and the now rather large camera that was he looking at that was filming him.
" Welcome back folks to the second chance show, I'm your wonderfull host mr. Dilas and today I have a wonderful new contestant guaranteed to keep you entertained and a world safe from the maws of boring extinction. So will you tell our wonderfull audience why you've agreed to be a part of the show?" Simon Dilas asked while presenting his mike to a rather flustered Robert whose blue glow was flickering like an old light bulb at the sudden attention from the audience he could feel watching him through the camera.
"Uuumm while it seemed like a great thing to do." Robert answered softly a little intimidated at all of the sudden lights and sounds going on all around him. After the many years of the empty void he wasn't used to having so much sound and color happening all at once.
" Altruism truly that's your only reason is it. Just being a guy with a heart of gold ,that's your final answer? You know you have a duty to the viewers to be honest now, so say what your real reason is we only want to know about our knew contestant were not here to judge." Simon Dilas said with a gentle but knowing smirk clearly not taking Roberts first as the whole truth.
" Okay it isn't just that it's the right thing do. While I've been waiting around to find out if I'm going up or down for a long time with no idea when my turn will ever come and this whole being reborn into the body of a lesser greater while being brought into a world of heroes seem like the greatest adventure ever. I don't think my family would forgive me if I didn't take it. I'm sure will meet up eventually and I'll have so many story's of the real thing." Robert said while looking at the wheel wondering where he'll end up and what stories of great heroics and dastardly villainy he'll tell his family when he see's them next.
" Well then that's quiet the answer. Well now that my audience has a feel for our contestant and has satisfied some of their curiosity. We can now stop the interrogation and see what you'll get by spinning the wheel." Simon Dilas said as he motioned Robert lamb over to the wheel.
" What! me? Spin the wheel but right now I'm just a soul in the form of blue candle flame. I can't even touch it much less move it." Robert said confused about how he was going to spin the wheel in his current state it's not like he could grab it with his blue candle light.
" Don't worry mr. Lamb the wheel has a few tricks to it. So all you need do is reach out with your flames and the wheel will do the rest." Simon Dilas said waiting by the wheel waving Robert over.
" Well okay then here goes nothing I guess." Robert said as he cautiously approaches the wheel and begins to reach out with his flame. The wheel begins to glow when his flame finally touches and starts to spin rapidly as she t absorbs a bit of Robert's flame while words constantly shift on its surface.

"Well folks it looks like we get to start with the world he's going to be born in." Simon dilas said to the audience watching through the camera as the wheel begins to slow down.
" Really!!!" Said Robert exictitly waiting for when the wheel would finally stop and tell him where he would go. Robert was filled with excitement wondering where his adventure would begin so much show that his blue glow started to pulsate.
" While folks it looks like it going to be the super world of wonders and the mad for our dear contestant!" Said Simon Dilas with a booming voice as it echoed across the stage. Robert just floated there a bit confused about what exactly wonders and mad meant there was probably a few things to be infered but assuming would only make things worse if turned out be way off Robert thought.
" Wonders and the mad what's that? That sounds kinda more like a band than a world of heroes." Robert asked in a confused voice while hovering next to the game wheel hoping that Simon would tell him or at least give him a hint.
"While the name of your hero world will be based on the powers in it how they are used and how the people in the world view them." Simon replied giving the barest information so Robert could try and guess with that context but not give away the game too early.
" Okay the mad part doesn't sound promising but it'll be interesting I suppose." Robert said a bit nervous about going to world were powers and peoples view of them had mad involved in it.
"Alright with the world out of the way that leaves the method and the form so spin the wheel to give our audience their next answer." Simon Dilas said as he waved at the game wheel.
" Okay let's see what I'm going to be. I figure there are alot of greater beings in the universe. Ooh I hope its something big I wanna be a giant." Robert said as he once again pushed his flames into the wheel. Before Simon dilas could say anything the wheel began to slow down and land once again on words Robert couldn't pronounce much less read.
" Well Robert it looks like you got your wish and will be born as an atla they are a race of giants that travel the cosmos using their power over gravity to pull astroid fields together into small planets but sadly you will be a lesser version of an atla. So instead of being sky scrapper size you will be only nine feet tall. "Simon said apologetically to Robert.
"Ahhh well I'll still be huge by my former human standards." Robert said still excited about just how big he'll be and that he apparently be a subrace of a people that makes smaller planets.
" Well then with your world and your form out of the way that only leaves the method for how you'll influence your new world. so spin the wheel one last time and answer the final question for our audience." Simon said motioning to the wheel once again.
"Sure thing." Robert said excited as he pushed his flame in to the wheel one final time curious himself about how exactly he could influence an entire world. The wheel once again glowed and spun before finally stopping once again on unreadable words.
" Well it looks like game worlds will be how you influence wonders and the mad." Simon said as he waved Robert to go back to the podium.
" Game worlds what are those and how do I use them to influence the world of wonders and the mad." Robert asked confused as he made his way back to the podium.
" Well it's quite simple my dear contestant you will be combining your powers as an atla and gaming to be able to create artificially worlds that act as video games that the residents of the world could download themselves into. They will leave behind there physical selves as they do so. A cool bonus of your game worlds is that you can create in game items that your players could bring back with them." Simon said
" Really thats amazing. I can create an entire planet dedicated to my own game and I could create an awesome relic that players could bring back with them! Crap you think I can create something worth having a whole planet dedicated to it." Robert said while staring at Simon in awe and concern if he could meet such lofty goals.
" Hopefully my dear contestant hopefully but will soon find that out won't we my dear audience because as you all know now that the first show portion the meet and greet is now over the second chance sitcom can now begin." Simon said as he gestured to Robert.
"Wait! what does that mean?" Robert shocked and confused while looking at Simon for answers.l at what exactly was about to happen.
" It means bye-bye for now." Simon said as he waved goodbye. A trap door opened under Robert and then he was gone.
