The mysterious being

As Hermann regained consciousness he saw two paths leading to two doors. One colored white and golden and the other colored red and black. At this moment he could only think one thing:

H: "WHAT THE FUCK ??!! How did this happen?!"

Suddenly his vision blurred and he was struck with a moment of blindness. As his eyes refocused and he was able to see again he noticed that he was standing in a simply styled office with a wooden desk buried under mountains of paperwork with a chair in front of it. Behind the desk stood an office chair with the chair back towards him. After a few minutes of silence a mysterious voice asked from the office chair:

???: "Don't you have any questions young man?If you want to know something now is the time to ask."

After this statement the office chair turned and a figure clad in light became visible. Because of the emitted light only the outline of a human shaped silhouette was barely visible and so he quickly decided to look at other think things in the room like the paperwork or the desk that seemed to be made out of the finest mahogany.

With a friendly tone the unknown being continued.

???: "But before that sit down and get comfortable for a while, then we can talk."

The being pointed at the chair in front of him. After sitting down Hermann asked:

H: "Would you mind telling me the ending of the last book I couldn't finish?"

???: "You mean the Narnia series? I was told that all of them died at the end in some train accident etc."

After a few more minutes of silence Hermann asked:

H: "So, would you mind telling me why I am here?"

???: "I'm glad you asked. I have a lot to tell you. First of all you died."

H: [Duh, wasn't that somehow obvious?]

H: "OK, but what were these two paths and doors?"

???: "They are the paths to heaven and hell."

H: "So why am I even here? Shouldn't I be sorted into one of the places?"

???: "Well, right now we have a few problems. You humans are now everywhere and due to the two world wars and a few other minor complications we now don't enough space for everyone. Neither in heaven nor hell. That is why we have decided that until we find solutions to this problem all newcomers are going to be reincarnated into other worlds."

H: "So for how long has this happened?"

???: "Just a few seconds, you just missed the last spot to enter one of them. Which means you will be earths first future transmigratior. Congratulations !!!

H: [Maybe this means that I can somehow influence my future reincarnation. But I should do this carefully as I still don't know anything about him. Also angering a potential god is not a good idea. Hubris has already killed a lot of heroes and leaders at least according to history.]

H: "Have you decided on a course of action yet?"

???: "Indeed I have."

H: "Would you mind explaining the procedure?"

???: "Not at all. You simply chose any world you can think of that might arouse your interest and I'll send you there."

H: [WHAAAT!! No great plan and just this bullshit?! This is worlds apart from satisfying me. Maybe I can change this.]

H: {cough cough} "Excuse me Sir but have you ever heard about Isekai novels? "

???: "No, is that some new type of novel? Due to my work I'm always busy these days and even this talk right now can be seen as a small vacation right now so I haven't had much time to check up on everything that was published."

H: "Not really they originated from Asia if I recall correctly"

???: "And what about them, how are they relevant for this discussion?"

H: "These novels, as they originate from countries where people believe in Buddhism already deal with the topic of reincarnation into different worlds and their thoughts could perhaps aid in this situation."

???: "Fascinating. Then as an Expert concerning this topic would you like add something to my idea?"

H: [Yes! I saved myself from this miserable excuse of otherworldly reincarnation but how should I 'convince' him to accept my wishes without him limiting my future chances?]

H: "Normally in these novels omnipotent beings grant the reincarnator a certain amount of wishes and they get to chose their powers or other things like their appearance. You could implement this as it saves you the trouble of thinking about your gifts to them for example as apology for accidental deaths etc. and makes them happy"

???: "Seems interesting. How many wishes do you suggest?"

H: [Yes! This is just going perfectly according to plan. I am going to abuse these wishes so hardcore.]

Hey, I'm just here to tell you the meaning of certain signs.
