Chapter 1: 3 Wishes!
"You died! You have 3 wishes."
That's what I heard after unceremoniously dying while coming home from work.
Well, not like my life was anything worth crying over; I, Draco Valenstein, was just your run-of-the-mill college graduate who struggled to find a job to pay for monthly necessities and start thinking about my life.
3 months after I started working, just as I began to feel accustomed to my daily life, I died.
How? I don't know!
I don't even remember!
Was I stabbed by some psychopathic thug? Was I run over by a truck? I don't even know!
The last thing I remember was thinking about how I would finally be able to go and enjoy a well-deserved weekend reading my latest Isekai novel.
Who knew I would be isekaid myself?!
Well, truth be told, I am really excited right now, enough to forget about everything.
Well, not like I had anything worth regretting.
I had normal, half-loving, half-uncaring parents who died in an accident. god-knows when... Well, actually, it was 4 to 6 years ago, if I remember right. It's just that I was in the half-uncaring part of their parenthood.
As for the other half, I had a big sister who profited from it. She was the only person I miss, if I really think about it. Although my parents were shit, she was at least kind enough to care for me until I was of age to get the hell out of that house, After that, I rarely caught up with her.
Oh! If I remember right, she has two children now and a cheating husband...
If I knew this was going to happen, I would have told her, Dammit!
Well, anyway, let's come back to the most exciting thing that happened in my life.
To start it off, what's going to happen to me after I choose my wishes?
Will I be reincarnated? Transmigrated? Or Revived?
And if it's the former two, what kind of world will it be?
A medieval fantasy world? A Cultivation World? A modern or superpowered world?
The possibilities were endless.
"Hey, whoever you are that's giving me wishes, can you tell me where I will be going after this, or are you some kind of automated system?" I asked in the hope of actually receiving an answer.
I didn't expect it, but who would have known it would actually answer?
"It depends on your wishes." It said.
Hmm, I wonder if that means that I could wish for a world to go to, or if it will send me to one according to my wishes.
I'd rather not waste one of my precious wishes.
I asked it, and it said, "Both options are possible."
Well, I don't care as long as I have another chance to live a life better than my last; furthermore, I would probably choose a better option than I could.
Now, what should I choose?
"Hehehe, Of course, I have to get a System! An Omniscient System with multiple options that will help me in my journey like a shop, a quest system, Obviously a Status, and a spirit capable of actually helping me and not limiting me in any way possible."
What I said in the end could be dumb, but from what I've seen in some novels, systems in some cases take full control over one's abilities, and instead of helping its host, it limits the extent of which he knows and develops his powers compared to the natives of the world.
Of course, not all systems are like this, But I grew up to be a cautious person, or so I like to think.
"Processing Wish..."
"Wish over the permitted limit..."
"Degrading wish To Permitted Limit..."
"Nigh-Omniscient System(Limited by System Level & Host Authority) Options Installed: Shop, Status Pannel, Analysis, Evolution Pannel, Quest System, Achievement & Title System, etc..."
"Ohh..." Truthfully I was a little scared when It was refused at first, but maybe my Omniscient demand was a bit overboard... Depending on how it took it.
Now what should be my second wish... I've got a system so the problem of acquiring resources and even a bit of premonition when it comes to the level of danger is resolved through the shop & quest system.
Rewards are easy to get, so aside from leveling up, I won't have a problem when it comes to equipment, healing, and such.
But, when it comes to skills, immunities, maybe Blessings from some celestial beings if there are any in the new world, and even the Evolution thingy it added, I need something that could help me get them aside from what I have Since they will be the source of my power and will make things easier for me going forward.
By the way, That Evolution Option it added, could it be related to the world I would go to? It shouldn't be; I haven't chosen all my wishes yet.
Well anyway, I think I know very well what my second wish should be...
"I want a devouring ability that would let me gain the skills, abilities, techniques, and memories... without side effects. It should also be able to get me the immunities, blessings, racial traits, Stats, and anything else that could be useful to me." I said with a smile on my face, knowing full well that what I wished for would solve practically all my problems as time went by.
"Processing Wish…"
"Wish Within Permitted Limit…"
"Wish Updated And Granted."
Now comes the problem of what should be my third Wish.
Knowledge? I have the memories. Evolution? I can get Racial Traits. Defense? I got Immunities, and the shop. an Artifact? Similarly, the shop could help me with that.
Maybe a bound Artifact that grows with me? Something like the system? I already have that...
Wait, maybe something like a Pocket Space only I can go to where I can train, Practice techniques, and even learn side-jobs similar to Alchemy and such...
Uhh? This is hard, There is the possibility of such a thing being available in the shop or even the system itself...
Oh, wait... What about Immortality? I could use that, but... I could get that by devouring a vampire or something, However, What if such a race doesn't exist?
Being strong and having some kind of ultra-regeneration could partially be an alternative to such a trait but... I wonder if I can gain something better.
Wait, I got it!
"My Third Wish is..."
-----End-----
Hello, Author Here, This is my new novel, An Isekai Fantasy Similar to Tensura and Various Other Epic Novels, I'm the kind of person who doesn't like a very limited world, so you can expect at the very least a universe-wide world in this story in particular.
I'm writing this hoping to finish it in a few hundred chapters, but I will make sure to write an epic story with a pretty smart, calculating, and cautious MC with a very obvious character development as the story goes.
I'm not focusing on Romance and harem, although such a thing will be there.
The MC will be a one-man army for the most part, but with companions and subordinates who do the odd jobs.
By the way, what would be your wishes if you were in his place? And what do you think his third wish will be?
well anyway, this is a WPC entry so I'll appreciate it if you help in anyway, PS and reviews are especially needed.
welcome abroad and ENJOY!
