hi guys, this is my fist novel/fiction that I write, plus I am not a native English speaker so if you find any errors tell me in the comments or in any way you want, I hope you guys have a wonderful day!
-------------------------------------------------------
In between the vast lands of the afterlife there is a soul but the strange thing is that there was only this soul, wandering where he was and contemplating his life, how he died and ultimately if he had a fulfilling life
'It's strange I have died and yet here I am still conscious'
While he was musing about the situation he found himself a being was observing him, reding his memories, his thoughts, like an open book, after some moments the *being X* decided to show himself.
At that moment Oliver saw a gathering of lights, it was hard to describe, it was a strange phenomenon, magical perhaps, after all he right now found himself in this strange place alone and he clearly remembered that he was at the moment dead, so he waited until the lights converged in a human-like form, only created and formed by these lights.
Oliver was actually awestruck, dazed he found himself staring at this being, after some moments he cleared his mind and obviously kneeled at him, without uttering a word, he was actually fearful of this being, who in their right mind would treat such a situation nonchalantly? Only a lunatic or an Isekai protagonist
The being X chuckled reading his thoughts but immediately stopped reading him
'i need to stop reading his thoughts or it will spoil the conversation' the being though to himself
"Hello my child do you know who I am?"
The being asked, still kneeled Oliver answered
"Greetings 'Great One' i don't know who or what you are, but I presume God or a God"
The being amused slightly smiled
"Umu, my child your guess is right I'm a God or more precisely I'm one of HIS countless manifestation of HIM, but why you thought I am a God?"
"Mmm, I don't know? I mean maybe human arrogance? Or my arrogance? Or maybe my hope to meet actually God? I mean I didn't know if you actually existed, so I don't know it's strange..."
"Well I/We exist, my child hahahaha, you know you are really strange, you actually passed a large portion of your life musing about My/Our existence but you never denied it so here I am in front of you, by the way my child raise up"
At that moment Oliver stood up and looked at the God and continued the conversation
"Thats right I didn't know you existed, but I never denied you because I thought that it's only human arrogance denying your existence outright, and in my short 26 year's of my life I was no philosopher, scientist or any type of really accoltured person so I thought that I had no right to deny your existence, but enough but this philosophical stuff, what now? I'm dead"
God actually smiled this time and looked at him
"Actually it's ok my child, I chose you to be reincarnated"
Oliver looked at him stunned and spoke
"Why? I mean I'm all for it, I lived a short life but not the shortest I had a beautiful mom ad lived a pretty fulfilling life if I say so myself"
"Actually my child you by the standard of your world are pretty lucky, born in America, and with a standard life, a little bit reclusive but it doesn't matter, compared to the millions of people that suffer every day in your world you were actually pretty lucky... besides your tragic death"
Oliver in that moment remembered his death, he died in a motorbike incident, not immediately but after he was been transported in the ambulance, his only regret was not seeing his mother one last time, but he knew his brother and big sister will help his mother surpass or at least accept his death
God continued
"You are being reincarnated for no particular reason, once on a while one of us, countless manifestation of god like to reincarnate mortals with some or no advantages for your next like, we call you usually 'The Lucky Ones' or so I was told, you are my fist attempt at reincartion"
Oliver mused at the answer of God
"So basically I'm lucky?"
"Yeah extremely so, imagine winning in your world the lottery a thousand times over but not even that will compare with the luck of being a 'Lucky One'"
"Ok...damn... so God, I'm in, so what now?"
"My child, since you are my fist attempt at reincarnating someone you have the right to 3 wishes, think about what you want and then tell me, oh and I advise you not to wish something too outrageous or might not be willing to reincarnate you"
"Like wishing to be strong like Zeno form Dragon Ball Super from the get go?"
"Exactly my child, wishing something that have huge potential for me it's ok but not instatly powerful or something like that, to many of of us made that mistake and it did not end well for us a mess to repair, and for the other reincarnated,well let's just say they will not ever get put of the abyss"
Oliver listeng at the last part shuddered with a little dread but he pushed that thought aside and began to think about what he wanted, in the meantime God created a table and some tea for himself and waited thinking
'it will be interesting, my fist attempt at reincarnating someone, I will not make the same mistake of my brothers and sisters (other manifestations of GOD, they are like separate but connected to the main God), giving mortars god-like powers from the get go is a spell for disasters for almost all the cases we saw, and a mess to repair too...and adversities create character in mortals so it's a good choice, mmm I will expect great thing from you my child'
After some time Oliver finished thinking and saw God sipping his tea, and spoke
"Ok God I'm done"
"Tell me my child"
"First wish:I want to have my own world but it will be like Elysium a wheel like spece station with the diameter of earth and like every livable palmer it will be self sufficient or something like that"
"Umu accepted my child, but you will be in charge of introducing life to that planet I will only provide trees in that wheel like world/space station, in compensation that world will be only accessable to you and the living beings that you will introduce to that world"
"Nice, even better like this, so for my second wish: I want to have The Great Sage and Predator abilities like Rimuru Tempest"
"Ok...mmm that's tricky, one thing you will not evolve to demon lord, you are being reincarnated by me God so no killing sprees to evolve and get more power faster, I want you to grow steadily, in compensation I will give the Great Sage a body but only you will be able to see it and interact with it"
"Your game your rules, actually if you even decided other condition more restrictive than that I wouldn't resent you at the and of the day you are giving me a second chance to life... So for my third wish: I want to... I want to.... Mmm in don't know...I want to be an High Elf and I want to be a singularity meaning there will be only me and none other 'timiline X me that want to destroy the multiverse, I want to be the only one...yeah that's it"
"Nice choice...you are really thoughtful, now as a gift for your words earlier a will gift you the ability [Camouflage] so you will be able to hide your elvish characteristics when you want, so Oliver are you ready?
Oliver at that moment stood silet and than spoke with hesitation
"God I know I'm being greedy but can you give me a method to listen music from my own world somehow? I already miss my Spookify playlist already... besides my family"
"Ok... You sure are a greedy one...well since I'm doing this I will give you the option to travel to Verses since you are my fist attempt at reincarnating someone I want you to be somewhat special to me"
Oliver stood there dumbfounded and than looked at God with a warm smile somewhat he felt like he was like a big brother or the father he never had
"Ok God I'm ready"
God looked at him and thought
'i hope I am not making a mistake, don't let me down Oliver'
" Ok my child" and than God materialized a wheel with countless names on it some unknown some known and Oliver looked at some familiar names and speechless asked
"Wait comic book verses exits"
"Well of course my child" God said while chuckling like is something obvius and than spinning the wheel, Oliver than looked at the wheel frozen, the wheel stopped and the name that was selected was CYBERPUNK 2077
"Fuck...well at least is not Warhammer 40k or Berserk...but God I will be an High Elf how am I going in CP 2077?"
God looked at Oliver like he was the dumbest living being on the multiverse and spoke
"My child...I am God, I will figure something out... sometimes you know you are smart but in moment like this I think you are more dumb than a pebble my child"
Oliver stood there frozen for a momet
"Sorry God by the way what's your name I mean the name of THIS you"
"I'm called Tsukuyomi, now go my child show me what you will do"
And than Oliver disappeared form the bizarre plain he dispersed like mist after a hot day
