Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Chapter 1
"Where am I?" I found myself in what looked to be an office. I tried to recall what happened, but all I could recall was bright lights heading towards me, and me just pausing.
"Don't hurt yourself, to avoid people freaking out upon realizing they are dead, I have it so that their memory is suppressed." A voice sounded in front of me, causing me to snap my head up in shock as I only realized I wasn't alone. Sitting before a table was a tired-looking young man who didn't even bother to look at me, while he went through papers.
"I'm dead? why do I feel so happy about it?" I asked in confusion, for some reason I instantly believed his words, and my words seemed to surprise him. He looked up at me, followed by a surprised look, he went on to wave his hand and memories returned to me.
"... oh," I said lightly upon regaining my memories. I was a slave... well, that was the best way to describe myself when I was alive. To summarize everything, I grew up taking care of my ill mother and ill sister. I had to drop out of school to take care of the two, I somehow found a loving wife and had a small wedding... and to give her the best possible life, I began to start throwing myself back into studying all while doing 2 jobs.
I was stressing myself out, but I was doing the right thing. I was the perfect son and brother. On top of that I was the perfect husband, how perfect was I... how foolish was I?
It turned out my wife didn't like the fact I was working so much and wasn't giving her attention, so she went to sleep with her ex... my mother and sister knew, they hid it from me because they wanted to protect me.
The pain broke me... all my life, I lived for the sake of others, so for once I did something only for me. I didn't jump out of the way of a speeding truck, I let that thing just end me. I wanted to be free, tired of the chains that bound me, tired of the responsibility, and expectation I had to live up to.
"Here I was just going to judge you and throw you in hell since you killed yourself, but I judge that you never got the chance to live your life." The man before me said lightly while putting the papers down to focus on me.
"I'm Rob, and you, my friend are someone I pity. You're from the center of all of creation, earth is where all stories originate, where all worlds originate. But you never read or watched even one thing from your world, and for that I pity you." He said to which I could only look down, swallowed in regret at the life I missed out on.
"Normally, I would say pick wishes, then pick a world. But for you... well, you have no idea what worlds are out there, or how any of these things work." He said while pulling out a prize wheel from... well, somewhere, and placing it on the table.
"This here has what we call templates. It's troublesome to explain, but just know the person it lands on, you would have their templates. pretty much their abilities, luck, potential, and so on." He explained while I gave him a confused look since the prize wheel had nothing.
"It's not empty, it's filled with an infinite number of templates." Saying that Rob snapped his finger, causing my eyes to sharpen. I got to see everything on the wheel... and there was a lot. [Superman Template]
[Thor Odinson Template]
[Yogiri takatou Template]
[Spider-man Template]
[Ea Template]
[Robbie Rotten Template]
[Omnitrix Template]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[Barbie Template]
[Johnny Sins Template]
And the list went on... I didn't know who any of these guys were, and this caused the pitiful look Rob gave me to grow.
"I will let you have a full understanding of the templates once you got them seeing as you... well, you don't know anything. There are also some items here, by chance the spinner lands on an item, you would gain the abilities of the items with some of the abilities of the item being lost. This way the item can't be stolen from you," He said to which I nodded
"Go and think of your deepest desires of this moment, I will cheat a little and increase your luck so the templates you get would be the ones that best suit you... also, the more overpowered your templates are, the more powerful the verse you would end up in. You would have 5 spins, normally it's 3, but I will give you 5." He explained to which I nodded in understanding, although I was unsure about all of this, I still went on to close my eyes, thinking of what I wanted...
"Ready?" Rob asked seeing me opening my eyes. I nodded at him, and he had me go on to spin the Wheel. I did just that and watched as the endless possibilities flashed by until the wheel finally came to a pause on a template.
"[Sun Wukong Template]? Not bad," Rob said while nodding his head,
"Is he good? he has a strange name..." I said unsure about this, but Rob laughed at this, before pausing for a second.
"You would have all of his famous abilities and gear, so everything before he became enlightened. You would need to train if you wish to reach his level of power," He said leaving me confused, but he didn't explain and had me spin the wheel once more, which I did. "[Broly Template]? You must have some affinity with the monkeys." He said with a smile, causing me to be confused once more. But he didn't explain and had me spin the wheel once more.
"[Doomsday]? You might be facing some troubles here kid." Rob said causing me to give him a confused look once more, wanting to know what he meant, but Rob just rushed me to spin the wheel, unable to wait to see what was next. I could only sigh and do just that. "[Omnitrix Template]? Lucky, that might have just saved you. To think all of your 5 templates have been so good... what is your 5th? I didn't increase your luck by so much." Rob said to himself, interest burning deeply in his eyes.
I sighed and spun the wheel, and there it came to a stop on... [Domino Template]. I went speechless, I would get a toy template, or the pizza place? I could only pray I got something good. But they did sound good, all but the last one. Doomsday sounded like a cool name. Omnitrix had the world Omni in it, so I was hopeful... Rob did seem to think I was lucky with Sun Wukong, hopefully that's good.
Right now, all I can do is pray. I didn't have huge dreams, I just wanted to be free. Free of all troubles, responsibility, and such things, if that was too hard, then I wanted to live a good life
without worries.
"Well, you should get going. Thanks to how overpowered your templates are, you have no choice but to go to the DC world. It would be perfect for someone like you and your dreams of escaping fate." Rob said lightly.
"What? When did I say I wanted to escape fate?" I asked in confusion.
"You want to be free of all troubles, responsibilities, and such things. Fate would not just let you sit back and live a relaxed life. Think about it, you're writing a story. Would you let the main character have a relaxed and simple story without drama?" Rob asked to which I shook my head in understanding.
"You are the main character now, if you ever wish to be free become the strongest. With strength, you can do anything. You could even create your own world and relax. Hell, with power you can have all of the wives you want and not care for the standards of the world. With power, you can be free. So, go out there and live for yourself. Self-control is what you did in your past life, let go a little, let your desires grow, you have been a good kid all your life... a little bad wouldn't hurt right?" Rob said, poisoning my mind.
