1 When one story ends, Another one begins

Life is like a storybook and when one ends, you put it down and start another one, it might not be straight away, you might take a bathroom break first or something, but eventually, you will start another story.

I did, Well, I am in the middle of it, right now I'm in the middle of my bathroom break, or as I should call it, floating in the void talking to a mysterious man made of shadows.

______________

"Hello? Are you listening?" asked the mysterious man, breaking me out of my thought process "huh, y-yeah... I am, what did you say?" I asked sheepishly, he sighted and rubbed his temples "I asked you, do you understand what's going on, you know, you wake up here and not in your bed" he said while gesturing to the void "Oh that, I died...I think, did I?" He nodded his head to my question "do you want to know how?" he asked "some people usually want to know what it was that killed them".

"Um, yes" I said, I was a little nervous, I was fine with dying but was a little concerned with how I died, I didn't want to be renowned as the guy who died from a truck while crossing the street, that would be bad, but if I we t out trying to save an old lady or little girl from a truck, that would be cool.

"you died from a plane crash, you weren't on the plane, but the plane crashed onto your apartment building... It was really funny" he said with a slight chuckle which made my brow frown in anger "well if it was you I bet it wouldn't be so funny now would it" I snapped back at him.

After he apologized and I calmed down a bit, he reminded me why I was here, to make my wishes.

"So what will you wish for, you can have anything you want, just remember to word them carefully, Wishes can be very tricky things if you don't make if transparently clear what you want" he said as three orbs of light appeared and surrounded me, each was a different colour, one was gold, another was White and the last one was pink "State you wish" said the pink one.

Now I know what your thinking "he's just going to wish for a system and an OP skill, that's how these thing always go" well you'd be wrong, or half wrong, yes I wanted a system, who wouldn't, it's a game system, but I didn't was some OP skill or power, I wanted to relax and live a free life where I could... I don't know, maybe learn magic, and I had already though up of my wishes before all this happened, I was reading a book where the MC got three wishes when I died, and I was thinking about what I'd want as my three wishes.

"I wish for a System that will allow me to learn any type of magic as long as I have the points" as I said to ss words, the small pink wish orb exploded in a burst of dancing lights.

The white wish orb then floated in front of me "State your wish" it spoke, "I wish to be born in a modern fantasy world, where magic is commonplace and magical beings are the dominate species" this wish was simply because I didn't like humans, they were greedy and boring, but monsters and magical beings we're mysterious and exciting, plus there might only be humans as slaves, and I wasn't up for that.

The White wish orb exploded into a bunch of lights just as the pink one did, the last wish orb floated in front of me, it's pure golden colour was mesmerizing "State your wish" it called out, "I wish to be reborn not as a human, but as I magical race" as soon as my wish was said the wish orb exploded like the last two, leaving only dancing lights in it's place.

"Very well thought out" said the mysterious man "now it is time for you to leave, I have a twenty-five seasons worth of anime I watch and your cutting in to my time" and like that he clicked his figures and I found my self somewhere I never thought I'd be.

It was a cage.
