POV : OMNISCENT
This scene felt oddly familiar and why would it not ? Leo like any normal neet, otaku , comic reader or whatever any word you could use did not find what was happening in front of him strange . It felt normal . Too normal .
In fact , any one who had done enough research would have realized that he was getting his inspiration from such forms of media . For instance , naming of the cure to diseases the extremis cure . Naming the first A.I he had ever made Cortana and the next after it the Red queen . Naming the fully immersive virtual reality he had made as Aincrad and the machine that was used with it the nerve gear .
Yes him doing such had brought it's own set of problems such as people fearing he would start the next apocalypse or he would trap them in a virtual world but the problem had been all solved in the end . Was a problem that could be solved using money truly a problem in the start , no it was not . And if it was , you were simply not using enough money .
or were those stories made in order to prepare the general population for such a scenario !! That was a good theory . 'Yes' he thought nodding his head . Using such a simple method to get the general public ready for the after life experience was indeed very efficient
" Hey , stop ignoring me !! " The proclaimed goddess of love said quickly attracting his attention which Leo quickly did . " Sorry " Yes , it was rude to ignore someone but he had to make something clear before they could continue and the god who could easily tell he wanted to talk waited .
" So in short , due to my past good deeds or my actions that helped the world , you wish to give me a second chance at life or more likely , you wish to reincarnate me . "
" Yes , " She answered simply without putting up airs . Leo felt like she was too easy to talk to . Or was this normal . He did not have a reference for any of this .
" No , it's just that I'm nicer than the others , " she answered him and Leo nodded in acceptance . What else could he really do .
" What happens if I reject the offer ? " He was curious . What would happen . Would he be obliterated , or maybe he would go to heaven . The goddess had said he had done a lot for his world .
" I Don't know " Leo for some reason felt she had shrugged while saying those words and he felt a tick appear on his head . Shouldn't she at least try to assure me ?
'Hey excuse me your the goddess here ! 'He wished he could scold her for answering soo nonchalantly but he held himself back . He would rather not upset the ' kind goddess '
" Hey !! I'm the Goddess of love . Not death or reincarnation . How do you expect me to know what happens if you refuse ' hmpph ( pouting ) ' "
Leo was not impressed . And his face clearly said so . But he easily accepted her explanation . It made sense in it's own weird way .
" I have one last question before I give you my answer . . . " Leo felt she nodded , willing him to continue " . . . how about my father . Could I . . . meet him ? " Despite asking such a question , Leo felt he knew the answer he would get . Strangely in his heart , the answer was obvious .
" Your father , due to his role in raising you to be the person you were , played a role in everything you did . As a result , he was offered the same offer you are getting . . . and he choose to take it . "
Yes that sounded like him . No , that was definitely him Leo was sure of that . Such an offer he would never let go .
" Could you tell me where he went ? " Now this he was curious . Where would that old man go with his great luck . And yes his father did have great luck . He had managed to adopt someone like Leo . That clearly showed his great luck .
" I'm not sure . I'm not the god who presided over him but if I heard correctly , I heard him say something like a bombshell red haired devil and to be the greatest harem king . . . " Their was an awkward silence but he further believed her words .
' That is definitely him ' Only he could say some something so shameless and how lucky of him . To go to that world . Truly unfair !!!
" Huuhhh " He sighed but he was happy . Yes that was okay for him . It was enough to know that his father was going on that adventure he had always told him would happen after death .
" I accept the offer . Let me take part in my own adventure !! " Leo was excited and why not . He could have chosen to not take the offer and live with the choices that came with it but that was too boring . He wanted to feel his heart pump in excitement , to feel the warmth of the sun on his skin and the adrenaline in his veins . Yes , Leo wanted to Live once more !!!
" Yesss !!!! That's good .I at least don't have to force you anymore . phewww " She practically breathed out in relaxation and Leo felt angry and at the same time relieved . ' Was she saying that she would have forced him to pick the choice she wanted . He felt like crying tears of bitterness due to the goddesses bluntness . Couldn't she say that after he had left !! How rude .
"Now to continue ' snap ' It's time to spin that wheeeelllll . ' boom ' ' boom ' "
She snapped her fingers and three huge spinning wheels appeared . They were welcomed by fireworks as the lady cheered for it .
Curious enough , Leo was now seeing a silhouette of the goddess . Or what he thought was her . Why this was happening , he did not know . But it did not change that he was going to spin a wheel !! No matter how unscientific his mind was telling him this was . But who was he to still speak about science while he was talking to a goddess .
" Okay now , play close attention . The first wheel , will decide what item you will acquire from the strongest to the weakest . The second wheel will decide an ability also following the same logic and the final wheel is to decide the world you will be going to . That's it .I hope you feeling lucky . "
Leo was always lucky . That he was confident in but , Was it not more reasonable to let a more beautiful , powerful and did I say very kind goddess to spin the wheel for me . Leo was thinking both shamelessly and without hesitation . Logically thinking , who between a god and a mortal would have higher luck . His bet was on the god !!
" Flattery will get you nowhere . " Her words said no but the pitch of her voice said yes and Leo counted that as a win . He could tell that the goddess was very flattered by his words and that was good enough .
" Yes , I've waited for this opportunity for a very long time . ' Whooshh ' "
Or maybe she was just happy to be able to spin the wheel . He felt dumbfounded by her actions but whatever , the deed was already done .
Leo refocused his attention on the three wheels and even he , was praying for his own success . There were certain items he saw the wheel go over for instance the omnitrix . Yes , he definitely would not mind having that . His mouth was practically watering or maybe certain abilities he would kill for . For instance the vector control he was seeing .
An extremely useful ability that was extremely useful .Yes , his moment to be the strongest had arrived !!!
The first wheel slowed down and finally stopped and Leo was jumping with joy but had yet to see the item .
" Pumparum and you have gotten . . . The full ninja package from the Randy Cunnigham ninja world . " She sounded excited but Leo could not feel more lost . Was this the best the luck of a goddess could give him . He felt cheated .
' My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined '. He felt like crying but he was given no such chance as the second wheel soon also came to a stop .
" And for the second prize , we have . . . Haki from the one piece world , " That was actually good irrespective of the world he went to . Yes , his luck was turning around once again . Maybe letting the goddess do the spinning was not all that bad .
The final wheel was still spinning and Leo was seeing some worlds that gave him the shivers . Resident evil , world war z ,berserk !!!! Leo wanted to experience an adventure but he did not want to die . Most of this worlds he would rather die than continue existing .
Running zombies !!! Hell nah !!
The wheel finally stopped and from the goddess tone , he could tell that he was cooked . " For your final prize . . . your world of choice is . . . " She seemed to be doing this on purpose and Leo felt his anger get the best of him .
" Spit it out !! " She mearely laughed at his agitation and he felt the creeps run through his spine .
" Your world is Adventure Time + and you will be reincarnating as The main character Finn Campbell !!!! Hurray !!! " Sounds of applause and confetti was present as the goddess was celebrating .
Leo felt his body weaken and his knees touch the ground . It did not matter . Yes he knew that world . And it was with that knowledge that he could say he was fucked , cooked and any other expression that meant he was dead .
Gods , Primordial , Ancient entities , catastrophic artifacts ,magic and world ending entities . A post apocalyptic world where anything that could go wrong would go wrong . But wait , he was going to be the Mc , maybe he would survive . All hope was still not lost . Didn't every main character have extreme luck on their hands , what was it called ? Plot Armour !!!
He looked up again at the wheel . confirming what the goddess had said and instantly , his eyes caught something that filled him with dread . Like a hidden knife that was ever to his heart and his head blurred to the goddess .
And where he assumed her head was supposed to be , he saw an outline of a smile . Something under any other circumstance he would have said was enchanting but to him right now it was sheer horrifying .
" What does the plus at the end mean !? " His voice slightly broke . What mess had he gotten himself into . He regretted at this very moment letting the goddess spin the wheel .
" I think you already know what it means Leo . A plus as clearly defined in the dictionary signifies an addition . An extra value . Extra features !!! Ha ha ha " At least she saw the humor from this situation .
" Just send me away . " Had he accepted himself ? . NO , NOT AT ALL !!! . He was still indignant . But he was the type of person who accepted their situations , no matter how hard .
Yes , he could do this . No , he would do this . He had the ninja package and more importantly , he had Haki . The power of kings , the ability of a conqueror !! . With that power , he could be a ruler . A supreme ruler , He could do this!! .
The goddess had stopped laughing and had approached his prone body by the moment he was regaining his spirit .
She lifted his head , gently and . . . lovingly ? It was weird but he could feel it . The transparent silhouette had changed once more , as if he was being allowed to see more . A slight features had started to appear and Leo from the little he could see he could tell the woman was extremely beautiful .
He felt her fingers run against his lips and her smile which he could now see was even more beautiful .
Her head lowered and he felt her lips touch his forehead a quick peck that felt like it lasted for eternity after which she pulled back .
" That was my blessings , a blessing for you future relationships and wives . Make sure you make all of them happy . " her voice was sweet and her tone was even more mesmerizing
Leo for the first time since he could remember felt his cheeks redden and the blood rush to his face . The goddess of love herself had blessed his future love goals and he did not know how to feel about that other than embarrassment and maybe a slight smugness .
" Goodbye , Leonardo Stormborn . " A blue light started to cover him and Leo felt himself start to float from where he was . like the light was lifting him to his next great adventure . The adventure his father always talked about .
" Before you leave . There was one last message your father wanted to pass to you . ' Make sure you live you life to it's fullest . . . . . and bring me a lot of daughter in laws "
" Ha ha ha ha ha " Leo could not help himself . Even in death , his father never failed to disappoint and he was happy with that fact .
His eyes had still kept looking at the goddess , his gaze never left her in fact .
" Thank you !! " He did his best to give the best smile he could . To put the most emotion he could in that goodbye and at that last moment , before he could disappear , he caught the most beautiful face he had ever seen . An enchanting aura that he would never forget .
Blonde short hair and striking red ruby eyes . What truly confused him was why she looked so shocked but he did not have time to comprehend what happened before he disappeared .

POV : Goddess of love
The goddess had seen something impossible . A mortal had managed to gaze at her and survive . A mortal had gazed at her beauty and remained sane . How !???
The goddess was shocked by the event but there was something of importance she had to handle right now . Something that required her immediate attention .
" Why don't you come out now Adara " Her voice was soft but commanding and instantly , a face that Leo would have noticed had appeared in this strange realm .
The pink eyes that had enchanted him looked at where Leo was in deep longing .
" We have a lot to talk about . . . daughter
