Another boring day for me, I am currently sitting in front of my computer and spacing out again.
Ah, Who I am?
Ok there, can´t let you in the dark.
I am an average guy, who has finished his education bout two years ago. Since then I am jumping from job to job without really establishing a real liking to anything i´ve done so far.
Originally, I am a trained nursery nurse, but that was never really my thing to begin with.
The jobs I´ve done so far, are more listed as IT things, hence working with a computer was always a good hobby of mine.
I am 192 cm tall and only a few months away from my 22 birthday. I am currently overweight, but my height takes a little from that “Fat” impression and due to a goatee, I look more like a good eating viking... nothing I am too proud of.
Well for the moment my life came to a stagnating course and my only habit of passing my time, is by reading web novels or playing online games.
My last job was probably a few months ago and now, here I am, leeching off of our country as a neet.
To make it all worse, I lost my best friend two years ago. He suddenly died at the age of 20 years to some kind of natural death...
Natural death my arse! As if I would´ve believed that, he was very healthy and just dying without any hint´s... nope not with me.
But what could I´ve done, nothing. To be honest I already thought of taking my life, but it would´ve been really bothersome.
Since then I only recuperated my solitude. I am not very sociable to start with, but since he passed away on me like that, I decided that it´s not worth making new friends. they´ll eventually leave me again anyway.
“Ping”
a `pop up` appeared in front of my vision.
“What the heck? what´s this, a new kind of add that add block is not aware of?. I am so sick of this stuff.”
Do you want to visit another world? Yes No
Huh, what kind of weird porn fetish, will this lead me towards ?
I´ve seen enough weird pop ups to know that this is just some kind of trap, but I kind of want to see where it will lead me...
Ah who cares anyways.
I click on the yes button.
Even if you were to die? Yes No
Great another pop up, I don´t have any good relations to my family and since I am all alone anyways... why not
I click the yes button again.
Nothing happen´s...
well that was kind of expected. Reality is cruel and internet even crueler...
It´s late already, should get some sleep, I am tired as fuck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Buzz'
A bright light shines into my eyes.
“Whaa?!”
I drove up and managed to sit straight. My eyes are still a little sore and I can´t really take the view in front of me.
This light is too bright. Where am I? What is this?
“Hello.”
A sudden voice disturbs my train of thoughts and I try to open my eyes a little more.
shouldn´t have done that, the light was still too bright and my vision blurred completely.
“Try to relax, you´r eyes will adjust just fine in a few seconds.”
The voice sounded again
“Who are you, where am I?”
Warily I called out into the white emptiness, whilst rubbing my eyes.
“One question at a time, we are not in a hurry. Firstly, this is the space where everything ends.”
The voice calmly explained and paused for a moment
“So have I died? Is this the afterlife?”
I slowly made out some shapes before me. A silhouette, maybe a person. Like someone sitting in a cross legged position.
“Mhh indeed, you may be called as dead... But also not.”
The voice sounded amused as he said that, as if it was mocking me.
At least I could´ve figure that the voice belonged to a male person. At least it sounded male.
Finally my eyes adjusted to the light. I found myself in a white and vast emptiness, but it hadn´t felt like a void without anything. More like a vast room without furniture... somehow creepy
“And that does mean what? Where is this place? Who are you and why am I here, if I am not dead?”
The questions only blurted out of my mind, before I could even think of something else, I already had yelled all of these towards the tall and shapeless, but yet not shapeless boy in front of me.
Wait, shapeless boy?
Like a heavy stone, I abruptly came to my senses.
The voice obviously belonged to the tall guy in front of me.
Yet that person was far from looking like a person. It strongly reminded me of a scene I had seen in an anime not long ago...
Truly, the person in front of me just very exactly looked like the “It”, from Full metal alchemist brotherhood.
“Hehe, well that means, that you just have died in your old world. And here you are, before me, God.”
A hellish smirk appeared on his face and somehow I got the feeling as if he was expecting me to totally freak out.
I dont know how or why, but I was completely calm.
“Aha, God you say... nice try. How do I wake up? My brain has created some weird shit before, but really God? I had enough already.”
I turned around and raised my palm, only to wipe my face clear and neatly with it.
“Ouch! What the fuck is this shit, that fucking hurts”
In pain and with a very reddened cheek, I turn back towards the god.
The fucking smirk on his face even wider.
“See I told you, this is the real deal.”
God implied, only to make me a little angry, as I had to look into his nonchalantly smirking face
“If there really would´ve been a God, then why are you so totally unfair and non active? I mean, since we preach religion, aren´t you supposed to help and guide us? Not that I believe in religion or anything that stupid...”
I answered a bit sulky
“Hmm, Hahaha. Yes, maybe you are right. But to be honest, since I created this universe a lot of time has passed and occasionally, I grew bored of all this. Which is exactly why you are here today.”
The urge to enclose my fist with God´s face became stronger, he smiled at me weirdly.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Luckily I came to my senses and recalled that this being might be the real God. If that were the case wouldn´t it be utmost stupid to fight him...barehanded in addition....
“As you already confirmed, you want to visit other worlds. And so I brought you here in order to fulfill that wish of yours. I´ll send you into another world.”-God
“The adds??? you...?! Ok that is,... at least surprising. Why using adds? Ah never mind.
You say I´ll be send to another world. But what exactly do you mean by that? Will I be just a normal traveler?”
I didn´t really believe in any kinds of miracles, but if there was only the lowest percent of a chance that this was real, I can´t really miss that one.
“Yes, i´ll gladly send you into another world. You could go there as a normal person, but I know that you don´t want to be a normal traveler. So how about I´ll give you some abilities.” -God
“May I choose the world? And what kind of abilities?” I ask, now shifting my attitude to be more humble.
“If you want to, you can choose the kind of world. Hmm how about you think yourself of 20 or so abilities.”
God noticed my change in attitude and intensified his expression. Somehow it seemed a lot more satisfied.
“20? Mhh, that is to much of a bother. I´ll be fine with, let´s say seven. For the world to be send to, I would rather enjoy a world with game-like characteristics. But a very important question is, why?
I mean why would you send me, of all people why me? And what for?”
Shit, I got consumed within my greed. I nearly forgot the most important and usual question, Why.
“Haha, don´t worry. I am just bored and up for some amusement, occasionally I do enjoy watching people send to other worlds doing their stuff. And no you are not the only one I am sending into another world. But back to that abilities of yours, just tell me what you have in mind.”
God stood up and circled me in an expecting manner
“Huh, that´s a relief. I would´ve hated it to be someone special. Since I only want to do things I see fit for me, I would rather not like to be responsible for some heroic deed.
Firstly I would like to be immortal. But not your average immortality, I just want to regenerate every wound and damage my body would take at a speed I can control by will. And I want that my body and soul will reconstruct themselves, even when reduced down to their atoms.
Ah and just for safety... I also want that the immortality includes degenerating harmful organisms within my body, we wont want to end up as some screwed Deadpool character.
Secondly, I want every single magic affinity there is. I don´t mind if the world has no magic at all, if so i´ll just invent magic in that world.”
“It´s not possible to use magic, where there is no magic. But the world i´ll send you to will have magic.” -God
“En, the better, I like magic and always wanted to experience some myself.
Than my third ability would be infinite mana-”
“There is no such thing as infinite. Everything has its maximum.”A weird grin stated God´s reply
“Oh, why does this not surprise me?...
Ok then, please give me a ridiculously high amount of mana. For best an amount that will be hard to deplete, even if I were to cast the highest classified spells multiple times in a row.”-Me
“That is possible”-God
“Ah, are there any sub-gods in that world?”
I don´t want to be out powered by a deity, better ask and be sure to choose my next abilities wisely.
“Yes, there are some minor God´s and deities. But those are just man created beings, nothing comparable to the real thing like me.”
Did I notice some arrogance within God´s reply?... hmm better not inquire.
“For my fourth, I would like to be able to choose a race for myself. Is it possible to create a new race?”-me
“Huh, do you have something special in mind? Maybe the race you want already exists in some other world. But generally, yes if I like your idea.” God stopped for a moment and looked eagerly at me
“Well, I would like to be something like a half titan and half Lich . But still looking like a human. As for the fifth power, I would like myself to stop aging at the age of 24.”
How awesome would it be to begin my new life as a, giant hammer swinging, ice titan with an army of undead behind him.
“Haha, You know that I can read your thoughts quite well do you? And that picture of a , hammer swinging ice titan commanding hordes of undead is appealing in quite numerous ways.
But that is a race to be newly created. As for that, you wouldn´t possibly have a name already?”
He can read my thoughts? Ha, why didn´t I even expected that already...
“A name, mhh. Morbus titania maybe?”
I am not really good at names or such stuff...
“So you simply named the race you want to be, like what it is. Simple, but pragmatic. I´ll grant you that wish. But firstly finish your last two abilities.”
Indeed, I named my race after what it is. Morbus for death and Titania for titan. Dead titan...
I want to sink into a deep pitfall of shame right now.
“My sixth ability should be, for me to have a gamer like status. I would like to have a game master overlay within that world, that I can control at anytime. It should show me a detailed description of everything, if asked and able to hide my own stats if I want to hide them. Additionally I want to have the options to change minor things. To be precise I want a gaming menu.”
I have read so many web novels about entering gaming worlds, never would´ve I thought that this´ll come in handy once.
“That is an easy wish to fulfill, hence the world is already one with game like characteristics. And your last one ?” God seemed a bit unnerved by my lengthy explanation, maybe because he already knew by reading my thoughts.
“The seventh and last thing would be, for me to be at an advantage from the beginning. Maybe like giving me for each skill I learn additional skill points. At least so much, that I can out level the strongest prodigy in that world, by only leveling up a few times.”
Who don´t want to be acknowledged as someone strong.
“I am not surprised at your last power. Somehow most humans I´ve chosen, follow the same path.
But i´ll grant you that power as well.”-God
I guess it´s simply the thought of people to be overpowered. So I don´t think that there are any people who volunteer for a normal peasant´s role, if given the chance to travel other worlds.
“Great, with that everything is prepared. Have fun and do whatever you would do normally in such a situation, I´ll enjoy watching you.”
God´s mimic turned somehow very perverted... to be honest I hadn´t really thought how god would look or behave like, but that guy is creeping me out...
Ups! God´s expression darkened at my thoughts, I simply have forgotten that he can read them...
“Ah and before I forget it, try not to freak out too much”
A simple sentence left God´s appearance and an evil grin or what I think would resemble an evil grin wished me fare well.
I didn´t got anymore time to think, as already a white shining light emphasized me within.
Only seconds later the light dissipated and left me, lying on something that I could only figure to be soil and grass.
