He sighs as his finger dances across the keyboard. He stops as he looks at the ti, 'its getting late', he carries his bag and leaves the office heading ho.
As he goes down the stairs he thinks of his life and how his journey till now has been.
His na is Anthony, he is an orphan who worked many jobs in other to be able to pay his school fees, he has quiet a good retentive mory so he didn't fail in school, he worked through years to stand where he is now, but all those work just to be land a low paying job in a small company, he has no friend to speak of so he finds solace in novels and ani.
He cursed his life as he goes down the stairs thinking of which novel to continue as he gets ho, he stands by the road waiting for a cab as his mind wonders around which to pick, only for a truck to co blazing out of no where speeding in his direction, he panicks and tries to jump out of the way only to find out he couldn't move cause of his fear, he cursed in his mind wondering if the gods sent truck-kun after him after he cursed them a while ago, he lost consciousness as he was hit and bled to death.
His soul wonders across the univers drifting with no particular direction.
"Ohhh a golden soul with such intensity that's unseen" said ???
A force pulls Anthony's soul in the direction of the being, the beings eye flashed with white light as saw Anthony's life. The being awakens Anthony and his soul reshaped back into his human form, he opens his eyes and looks around.
'Where am I, I thought I died, is this heaven?, isn't truck-kun ant to reincarnate
once it hits , tsk tsk, I better not see those authors in heaven'
"Calm down your thoughts mortal, this isn't heaven"
Anthony looks up, and he was bewildered, all he saw was a being made of ethereal darkness in human shape with no facial feature, he was shocked, 'the devil' was all Anthony could think of as he saw this being.
"I'm not a devil or god mortal, don't compare
to those ants"said ???
Anthony was afraid but there was nothing he could do, he was already dead, so he could only give up.
"Ehh..who are you sir?, where is this?, how did I end up here?"
The being replied "My na is ******, ahhh my bad you can't hear my true na as you are a mortal, I brought you here when i saw your golden soul"
"Golden soul??" Asked Anthony
"Don't sweat the details" replied???
'But that's still my soul we are talking about here, how can I not sweat the details' thought Anthony
"Even if I explained the concept of souls let alone golden soul you won't understand, even your so called devils and gods haven't even understood 0.1% of it"
"You can read my mind?" Asked Anthony
"Of course, have you forgotten who I am"
"You haven't said who you are" retorted Anthony
"Well it's not my fault you are too weak to hear my na, well most people call
consciousness of the universe, core of the universe, The truth holder, well the list goes on and on, but those are just nas they gave , well I am nothingness, here before the concept of ti even started, here before the beginning"
Anthony was shocked out of his mind, he couldn't even begin the grasp the being Infront of him
"So you are the consciousness of the universe" Anthony said
"Well I'm not, those are just nas they gave as they had no way to know my true na, also there are infinite universe not just one, even parallel universe, dinsion exist, all those things you read in your so called novels they exist"
Anthony was speechless, he didn't know how to reply, he just kept imagining and his mind kept spinning, the being just laughed at his imagination and left him to it, after so ti Anthony asked,
"So why did you bring
here"
"No reason in particular, I was just curious seeing such a bright golden soul, that's all"
"Are bright souls rare?"
"With the infinite universe and parallel universe and dinsions, do you think they would be rare?, its just that your intensity was the
highest I have seen since the birth of the first universe, i usually just glance at the golden souls and that's all"
Anthony felt like a toy, just to be glanced at, then thrown back to wherever, he fears he might land he hell as he didn't go to church
The being felt his emotions and thought and laughed. The being finally smiled and said
"Do you want to reincarnate?"
Anthony was shocked and replied "Yes" imdiately fearing the being would take back his words
"Well, where do you want to reincarnate?"
Anthony went into deep thought as all novels he has read flashed his mind, after a while he said
"I want a world where there is magic, and martial art, with dragons and phoenix, titans, fairies, elves and all those mystical creatures I have read" as he spoke his eyes glitter with the adventure he would have
The being sighed and shook its head already expecting this
"Sure, I agree, now let's talk about what talent or perk you want"
Imdiately the being said his, Anthony's mind went into overdrive again, after spinning for so ti going through all abilities, he said
"I want talent in sword, magic, systems...." Anthony started listing and listing, the being felt that it might have a headache if it kept listening, it said after stopping anthony
"It's surprising you didn't pick a leveling system like your favourite character from solo leveling"
"No, I don't want to gain exp, though it would be easy in the beginning, in the long run it might choke , as I have to look for stronger beings to kill, doesn't that basically an stagnanting or making an enemy of all races for killing beings that are on my level for exp"
The being smiled and just nodded, then said
"Think of all the abilities and talent and everything you want in your mind I would take it from there, don't bother thinking of things like fireball as an ability, just think of having the elent, when you learn magic you would already be able to cast it, so no need to have spells as an ability, but since I'm already granting sothing so absurb i will give you 5 minutes, i will grant everything you can think of in 5 minutes asides from things like immortality or gettting to my level with a thought and such"
The being started a tir imdiately.
Anthony's inhaled and exhaled even though he couldn't breathe and his mind started spinning, listing all good abilities, their condition, even passive skills, different type of system to be integrated together, he kept trying to rember everything he has read and seen, even adding those he hasn't, that he just made up with his imagination.
When the tir beeped, Anthony's thoughts processes imdiately stopped on its own.
"Since you have chosen everything I would send you off, any last words"
Anthony thought for a while and said "Thanks"
The being smiled and said "off you go" and Anthony vanished.
