My names Sabito.
My life was bumpy, a little smooth on somedays, but ultimately? It was a hard life. Lucky for me though, my life ended two days ago.
Ever since, I was in the process of talking with this God that kidnapped me from the bank of souls and is now granting my wishes and sending me off into any world of my choosing.
"Hurry up! You've been thinking for the past seventy hours!" My monologue was rudely interrupted by a giant, flaming burly man. His eyebrows were knitted so close together, it formed a bridge.
I frowned, sending an irritated glare. "If you gave me another moment, I would've told you. I just figured out everything I wanted and where I wanted to go. Happy?" The Gods lips twitched upwards, the fire on his head and shoulders bolstering angrily.
"Fine! Get to speaking before I change my mind!" He shouted, littering raindrop sizes of spit everywhere. Jumping back, I recoil, disgusted.
"For my first wish. I want to be a God." The very God I was talking to paused, his eyes narrowing. "You wish for divinity? No. I will never grant divinity." He shook his head, his arms crossing to finalize his ideals. I roll my eyes.
"Fine, then give me the physique of one. Leave out the divinity." To that, the God nodded. "That's doable. Next." He rushed, snapping his fingers- conjuring a giant note pad behind his head with my first wish written on it.
Blinking blankly at it, I shake my head moments later. 'Whew… Just- Get this over with.' Shaking my head, I cross my own arms, mimicking the God before me. "For my second wish, I want Ilios Talent from Ordeal, and I want it to run on Chi just like before." The God nodded, an eyebrow raising.
"What's wrong?" I inquired, loosening my posture. The God shook his head. "I'm not actively reading your mind. Your wish is not within my understanding." He stated. I nodded slowly, a shit eating grin on my face.
"So, what you're admitting, is that you aren't omnipotent." Rubbing my chin, my smile widens seeing his flames burst like a volcano. "You brat! Don't get beside yourself!"
Raising my hands sarcastically, I shake my head, "Hey, you said it. Not me." My words only caused him to burst even more, his teeth grinding as literal balls of flame shoot and skyrocket to the heavens above before crashing back down to the makeshift earth I resided.
"Get on with your stupid wish! Make it quick!" He barked; I stifled a laugh, holding my head down to do so. After composing myself, I sucked in a deep breath, cementing my serene state.
"Third wish- Is for me to have a Chi battery. An endless growing amount of Chi within my ever-growing physique." Blowing a chefs kiss in the Gods face, the man just sighed, finally putting the pieces together.
"Ah~ Maximizing your second wish. I assume to really give off the feeling of your newfound body." He rubbed his chin, scoffing slightly. "Good idea." Accepting his compliment, I notice the notepad behind him not even bothering to keep up with my wishes.
I face palm but ignore it. 'I-I'm concerned on whether or not this God is reliable to transport me…' I think to myself, imagining myself exploding, or turning into a shit particle.
"Final wish- Weapon Proficiency." The God hummed. "World?" He questioned, I freeze, mentally coming into a block. 'Uh... fuck. Bleach…? I don't know that anime. Drago- Nevermind. One Piece? Don't know much about it… Ah!' Raising my head at the speed of light, I lock eyes with the God.
"The Beginning After the End." The entity smiles, letting out a quiet breath. "Your wishes have been granted and will apply after your transportation. Knowledge on how to use your two abilities and how they work will be implanted directly to the brain. Training will still prove useful to boost your overall skill and creativity. Now, one more requirement before you leave." My ears perk at the Gods sudden addition.
"I'm listening." I state, crossing my arms once again. "Appearance choice."
"Oh, that's easy. Future Che Heart. For the metal arm, make it out of divinium." The God twitched. "I said appearance choice. Divinium will be a wish." He explained, but I wasn't having it.
"Oh, come on~ Why're you being stingy. I can't be a God with a metal arm that can get blasted off with ease. Use your brain big dude." My words were lighter than I expected them to leave my lips with, but it was welcomed because it worked like a charm when the God suddenly smiled.
"Fine. Are you ready?"
"Yea- "*SNAP*
Before I could even prepare myself and answer fully, the God snapped his fingers, shooting me backwards into a black abyss, my mind slowly descending into an unconscious state.
'Fucking bastard.'

BEAST GLADES
Coming to, it wasn't pleasant at all. With a raging headache and a strong force landing upon my head, I was already at my wits end and I just got here. My eyes shot open, and I jumped to my feet.
The clothes I was wearing flapped alongside my movements, a long black cloak that favored my left arm, the right arm was free, unhidden from the world. I was unsure of what shirt I was wearing but telling by the cold breeze against my bare skin- It was safe to assume that I was wearing nothing.
Positioning myself yards away from where I was before, I caught glimpse of what attacked me, even if it didn't hurt. It was a large, monkey-like bear. Pounding its giant, pale chest as it reared its teeth in my direction.
I blink, blankly. 'A monkey? No… King Kong?' my head tilts out of pure instinct, and the sound of something cutting through the wind at high speeds pierced my right ear.
"OUUUU AAAAWAOO" The monkey-bear let out a disgusting half howl half roar, holding a tree within its single palm. My eyes widened- Raising both my arms to shield my face from the incoming tree.
BOOM!
The tree split down the middle, my body acting as a steel pike in the earth, unmoving and unbothered. Heavy, loud, tree shaking gallops erupt from the cloud of dust and broken wood; Even with such obstacles, I could sense where the bastard was.
Using my metallic arm, I reach out straight in front just before I feel the presence bring down its raised, clubbed fists. "OUUWO!?" It yelped in confusion and surprise as my metal palm clenched its face.
Looking around, I ignore the thrashing and the constant beating the bear tried to tickle me with.
Plains, scattered trees and mini forests… Dirt roads that stretched for miles and not a single sign of human life. 'This is definitely the Beast Glades.' I hum mentally, squeezing the head in my palm and crushing it completely.
I feel the beasts body go limp and I drop it, its crushed skull leaving its head reshaped as a small stream of blood leaves from its mouth, eyes and a pressure hole on the side of its head.
Wanting to test my control over Ilios' flames, I hold out a single finger and watch as an orange, molten small ball of fire generates just above it. Hovering.
'Wow. This feels better than I ever imagined.' I think, pointing the small star on my finger towards the beast's body and lightly forcing it towards the corpse. In an instant the beasts light up in flames, but just as quick as it caught on fire, it dispersed just as hastily.
Nothing but a charred corps with crumbling, ash toned skeletal remains took the place of my personal usher into this world.
My next steps, however, is my current source of conflict.
