Chereads / The Genius with Common Knowledge / Chapter 4 - Second Wish

Chapter 4 - Second Wish

"My second wish is to make my memories not disappear when I get reincarnated. I know you told me about the brain stuff, but me being here already defies my world's common knowledge, so I don't think you are bound by such earthly limitations. And as for the soul, I bet you could do something about it. Am I wrong?"

"Hmm.. That is certainly so. I'm impressed you were able to see through that fact. In any case, you can consider that wish as done."

"Awesome! Being in a new world that I've always dreamed of won't be as good as when I have memories of my past life where I so much yearned for it to happen. I think I will always be reminded of how lucky I am to be granted this opportunity."

"I agree, being able to enjoy your life more than I initially thought is a wondrous thing. You keep surprising me, at this point, when you die again, don't be surprised when you see me. I will make sure to give you again the offer of becoming my personal assistant."

"Woah woah, I'm just about to be reincarnated and you are already waiting for me to die?!"

"Ho-ho, whether it be 100 years or 1000 years, it means nothing to us."

"You're crazy old man, I'm not even sure if I can live for 100 years."

"Surpassing 100 years is an easy thing to do in the world you're reincarnating to, unlike your previous world, which is filled with corrupt souls and most of all, a world where magic is long forgotten. And what do you mean by old man?! I'll have you know that I am considered as one of the youngest gods. I'm merely 999,999 years old."

"That's almost a million years! By the way, is it alright for you to talk casually now like this?"

"Of course! Earlier we were monitored livestream on the Heavenly Room, but now that we are on the process of granting your wishes, the livestream ended as to give you utmost privacy. Besides, that way of speaking is so tiresome, the only one who enjoys such speech is that damn Moon Goddess."

"Ohh a goddess! I'd like to meet her someday, by the way, what kind of god are you?"

"Me? I've yet to obtain such a title, I'm still called as my name."

"So, what's your name then?"

"Listen and remember this, the name of the man who will become the True God! My name is Merlin!"

"Oh sure, good luck with that. More importantly, can I say my final wish now?"

"What?! What do you mean 'more importantly'?! It's true that your final wish is important but... but.. *sobs* you didn't have to put it that way."

"Huh?! You're a god, do you really have to be such a baby about it? It feels disgusting to have an old man in front of me crying."

" *shocked* You.. you!!! I'll have you know that I just went in this appearance because I thought this was what the people in your world preferred! To think that I went out of my way to do this.. Kuh! Damn it! I even got humiliated for this."

"Well, you can show your real self now though?"

"I can't! I would if I could, unfortunately I came in here looking like this so until I get out of here I'll stay like this. I would very much like to see your face when you see how handsome and awesome I am!"

"Heh~" Chris looks disinterested.

"Th-That face! What the hell?! *calms down* Anyway, you mentioned that you want to see Diana someday? I recommend that you don't because— Huh? Wait a minute if you could meet her then.. *mumbles* "

" *shivers* What? Why did I suddenly feel chills?"

"Hehehe... Anyway, as what you wanted earlier, let's go ahead with your final wish."
