4 Wishes

Time: 6:24 P.M

In an dark alley, you can see a shadow of a human figure panting while holding its knees. Aron who was panting while being sorrounded by unconcious thugs let his guard down for a little, he was so tired that he can't think straight and wanted to rest for a little. He was tired, very tired, who wouldn't? He was working since morning and wearing that mascot left him dehydrated, he wasn't able to take a break and drink some water because of the events that transpired earlier.

Aron was thinking of the events that transpired earlier when suddenly he heard something...or someone's footsteps, when he turned around he was already too late, a fist was already right in front of him and he was punched straight in the face. He was knocked down.... and when he look at where the punch came from, he cursed himself for forgetting about this bastard. It was none other than the thug who dyed his hair red, it was just that his face was full of bruises compared to his arrogant looks earlier. The thug then said. "I didn't....expect....you to be one tough guy *pant *pant.. b*st*rd". Aron was already tired and can barely move, he took a glance at the thug who picked up his weapon which is the bat and get closer to him slowly. The thug raised his bat and cursed "YOU B*ST*RD! DIE!!!" He then swung his bat downwards in the direction of Aron's right leg. *BAM! "Uggghh" aron couldn't help but shout in pain. The thug then raised his bat and swung it downwards again and again and again until the thug heard something... *CrAck! "AAAHHHHHHH" Aron screamed. But it seems that the thug was not satisfied with it and raised his bat again *BAM! *CRACK *BAM! *CRACK "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" Aron screamed on top of his lungs due to the pain he felt. The thug, seemingly satisfied look at Aron's right leg which was bloodied and broken. "Aaaaahhhh" Aron was in so much pain, he wanted to cry... but he would not. The thug then moved to Aron's left shoulder and raise his bat again. Aron who saw this, braced himself for the pain. "The thug look at him and said. "Hehe...*pant...hehehe, *pant...w..why don't you...*pant...beg? *pant...huh?!" Aron just look at him in the eyes and suddenly spits his saliva which reach the thug's face.

This infuriate's the thug to no end, thus he wasted no time and struck Aron's left shoulder. "UGGGGHHHH", the thug didn't stop until he saw that Aron's shoulder was completely broken and bloodied. He then glance at Aron who lost his conciousness and said "Heh....not....so...tough now ha?!" Then he raised his bat and was about to hit his head, but stopped when he heard some footsteps at the entance of the alley. When he look at the entrance, he was shocked. The footsteps came from another group of thugs.The leading thug look at the situation then said "Hoi!!! You dare kill someone here in our territory?! What! So that we would take the blame? Huh?!" The red haired thug then said "Huh? Ahh.... no.. no.... I.... we". The red haired thug was stuttering, he doesn't know how to explain this. The leading thug glance at him, then he look at the upper side of the alley and saw a CCTV, his eyes shone, then said. "Hoi! Which group were you came from?! Huh?!" The red hair then said. "F...f...from...the... Blood Brothers...gang". The leading thugs eyes shone more and said. "You b*st*rd! Get out of here! Before we beat you to a pulp! Don't forget to take your dirty companions!" The red hair know that this gang in front of him was on the same strength compared to his gang, so he hesitated a bit, then complied. After half an hour of waking his companions up, they then exited the alley together. Watching the thugs exit the alley, the companion of the leading thug asks. "Boss, why did we let them go?" The leading thug look at him and said. "Sometimes you need to use your brain than strength" he pointed at the CCTV then said, "with that evidence there, we can blackmail them into giving us some of the blood brothers territory, that red hair was a captain of some sort, only the higher rankings in their gang dye their hair red. Don't forget that the Blood brothers both has illegal and legal businesses, with this evidence, they would give us a territory because they can't risk losing their business. I also heard that the police were hot in their tails nowadays" he grinned while looking at the unconcious body there. The other thug then said "what about that guy there? Is he dead? If he is... then what are we going to do with him?" The leading thug then said "check his pulse and if he's alive, give him first aid to atleast stop the blood then leave him there, we can't let other people know that were also here. We'll just call an ambulance tomorrow, that brat could be used as a witness if they don't comply to our demands". He said with a grin. The other thug nodded his head and after checking the pulse, he exited the alley to fetch some first aid kit. The leading thug look at one of his thugmates, he pointed at one and said "you! Take a copy of that footage the CCTV camera took and cut the video when we arrived at the scene and delete the original". The other thug nodded and exited the alley. When the thug that fetch the first aid came, they hurriedly give Aron first aid to stop the blood then exited the alley.

The next morning, Aron was found in the alley and was hurriedly sent to the hospital. His left shoulder and right leg were crushed and thus crippled. His phone was found in his pockets, the phone was full of cracks but still working and the doctors used it to contact his friends. His friends then contacted his grandparents in the philippines and told them about Aron's condition. Aron's grandparents was dumbfounded and worried for their grandchild, thus they went to japan as fast as they can. When they saw their grandchild's crippled leg and shoulder, they can't help but cry. If they just stayed here in japan or convinced him to go with them to the philippines, then all of this shouldn't have happened.

Aron then woke up the next day, feeling numb he tried to move his left hand, only to find out that he can't move or feel it. His left shoulder also hurt like hell, he then remembered what happened to him, so he tried to move his right leg, he also can't feel it as expected. When he look at his bedside, he saw his grandmother sleeping while holding his right hand, his grandfather was also sleeping at the bench. He sighed bitterly, he thought. 'Now.... I won't be able to continue college, I feel like no matter how hard I try I would just fail again and again... Is this my fate?...I can't work... it looks like I'll be useless from now on....Mom, it looks like I dissapointed you again... Sorry.' He close his eyes as a sign of giving up as tears escape through them.

The next day, he and his grandparents had a talk. His grandparents decided that when he feels better, they were going to bring him back to the philippines no matter what... Aron, who lose all hope just accepted they're offer.

Meanwhile to the Blood Brothers gang headquarters... The place was full of gun shot noises, it looks like while they were negotiating, the opposing gang got greedy and want 2 territories and their businesses in it. The previous red haired before, who was bandaged was angry to no end thus he attacked. The opposing gang members seeing that, the other thugs also attack the red hair. Thus resulting in a full blown gang war... After a while the police came and arrested half of the members of the blood brothers and the other gang's group, while the rest escaped and disbanded.

After a week. Aron finally feel better, though he was still crippled. Seeing these, his grandparents were sad for their grandson, he should have succeeded in life they thought. The next day his grandparents brought him back to their country, the Philippines. He stayed at his grandparents old house and live there with them.

After that. Days, weeks, months and until a year had passed. Aron who lost hope in life was so depressed and just stayed up to his room this whole time. His grandparents were worried and thus they find a way and bought things that could atleast entertain him. His grandparents first bought him his favorite comics, which is the DC comics. His grandparents then bought him a computer so that he could busy himself watching movies or just surf on the web. He wanted to decline, but seeing his grandparents worried eyes, he sighed and accepted it. His grandparents house was big, it has 3 floors, his room and his grandparents room is in the 3rd floor. Apparently this house was a old but big, this house was actually passed generation to generation in their family. His grandparents also made the 1st floor of their house a bakery and made it their business and became famous at the city in their younger days, they could've also help their daughter back then... but Aron's mother, Sarah, refused. Ashamed of borrowing money to her parents after she selfishly went to japan. Though her parents doens't mind it, but she still refused and take responsibility of her actions, the only exception was when she got sick and also the time where they send money for her son's birthday. The second floor is where the kichen, living room and a storage room was placed. After that, Aron just keeps reading comics to pass time, he could still go to college with the help of his grandparents if he want, because though crippled, he still has his right hand and left leg. But after all those things that happened to him, he felt like it would all still be the same and gave up. He was in so much depression that he thought of commiting suicide, but when he remember his grandparents, he just shook his head and sighed.

In his darkest days, he found something that could atleast divert his attention to his current state, he feels like he was actually living in those worlds when watching it. What he discovered was Anime, at first he only wanted to surf on the internet, but bumped in a 'Cartoon' or so he thought. He tried to watch and got hooked at it, then after that, he tried many more of those and found out that it was actually called anime. After a year, he's depression was almost gone, thanks to those animes, comics and of course his grandparents. His grandparents were patient with him and give him whatever he need. One night while he was reading comics, he heard a scream on the other room, he was confused at first but then realized that it's his grandmother's scream. So he hurriedly stood up with the help of a crutch. He then hurriedly went to his grandparents room and what he saw shocked him. There was a stranger there, standing close to the window, wearing all black holding a knife in his right and a bag in his left hand, while threatening his grandparents he said. "Where are all your money?! Show it and put it in that bag or else..." he made a slashing motion to his neck. His grandfather frowned and shielded his wife.

Aron who saw this frozed, then he was angry. He was so angry, first his mother, then his girlfriend cheated on him and now his grandparents were threatened to be killed?! He was standing in the door which is open with a slit, the burglar was close to the window and was facing his back at him. They are now in the third floor, so he wasted no time and opened the door. He thought 'I WOULDN'T LOSE THOSE WHO I LOVE AGAIN!!!'. When the burglar saw him, he hurriedly stab his knife at him, which succesfully stabbed his heart. Aron was in so much pain again, but with his will, he jump using his left foot and push the burglar to the window. The burglar was pushed to the window and fell down, he falled down head first and died. Aron who was stabbed in the heart lay down weakly to the floor, his grandparents hurriedly came to his side with tears falling from their faces. He just smiled at them warmly at return and said. "T...t...tha..nk...y..ou....fo..r....e..ver..y..thi..ng". Then he close his eyes, forever.... or so he thought.

*Flashback End

-"So that's what happened... I was stabbed in my heart and died... I hope my grandparents live there peacefully... *Sigh

-*Sigh

-"hmm? I only sighed once and there was no sound around here earlier where did that sound came from?."

-"IT WAS ME WHO SIGHED, YOUNG SOUL". Aron heard a majestic voice filled with power and was shocked.

-"!!!" "Who are you?! Where am I?!"

-"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO I AM, AS FOR WHERE YOU ARE, YOU WERE NOW IN A PLACE CALLED VOID. NORMALLY SOULS GATHER AT THE SPIRIT REALM FOR REINCARNATION... AS FOR YOU, YOU WERE BROUGHT HERE SO THAT I CAN REPAY YOU" he stopped and said "BECAUSE OF MY BUSY DUTIES, I HAVEN'T FOUND OUT THAT MY SON PLAYED WITH THE MORTAL'S FATE BECAUSE HE WAS BORED, HE ALSO FORGOT TO FIX IT BACK AS IT IS."

Aron hearing that was enraged "WHAT!!! YOU!!! YOUR SON??!!! YOUR SON PLAYED WITH FATE AND THUS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED MY MOTHER AND DESTROYED MY FUTURE??!! PLAYED WITH FATE BECAUSE HE'S BORED?!" Aron was so angry, he actually thought all the things that happened to him was his fault, but to find out that his fate was played because someone's bored?! He wanted to kill the one who did it.

The unknown entity frowned for a bit then sighed. "I KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL YOUNG SOUL, MY SON...AS WE SPEAK, WAS BEING PUNISHED BY BREAKING THE RULES OF NOT INTERFERING THE LIFE OF MORTALS." Aron was about to speak, when the unknown entity said. "YOUR MOTHER WAS ALSO HERE BEFORE" Aron stopped and listen intently. " I ALSO GAVE HER 3 WISHES AS A FORM OF APOLOGY, SHE WISHED TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN, BUT THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE AS THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE RULES." Aron frowned and said, "just what are you? Always following this bulshit of rules?" The entity then said. "I AM THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS VAST UNIVERSE AND MULTIVERSE, THE RULES WERE MADE BY ME, BUT IT EXISTS WITH A REASON. LIKE WHAT MY SON DID, HE INTERFERED WITH THE FATE OF THE MORTALS AND THUS DESTROYED OTHERS LIFE AND EVEN KILLED THE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE YET, AND LIKE ALL THE OTHER RULES, IF VIOLATED, MAY DESTROY THE BALANCE OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF, THUS YOUR MOTHER WAS NOT ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO YOUR WORLD AND BE WITH YOU. SADDENED, SHE THEN USE HER 1ST WISH AND WISHED TO GIVE HER TWO WISHES TO YOU... NORMALLY I ONLY GIVE THREE, BUT NOW THAT YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU TWO, I WILL NOW GIVE YOU 5 WISHES".

Shocked by his mother's selflessness, he wanted to cry, but he has no tears in his soul form. The unknown entity then said "YOUR MOTHER ALSO LEAVES A MESSAGE FOR YOU, SHE SAID THAT YOU SHOULD LIVE THIS SECOND LIFE TO THE FULLEST, SHE ALSO TOLD YOU TO BE HAPPY AND MAKE YOUR OWN FAMILY, THAT WAY SHE WOULD BE SATISFIED." Aron wanted to cry very bad, but he can't... So he then asked. "M..my...mother where is she now?". The entity warmly smiled "YOUR MOTHER TOUCHED ME BY HER SELFLESSNESS, AND THUS REINCARNATED HER TO A WEALTHY FAMILY WITH KIND PARENTS, SHE ALSO HAD HER MEMORY WITH HER SO THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU, I GAVE HER A UNIQUE ABILITY AS A GIFT. SADLY I CAN'T PUT YOU IN THE SAME WORLDS AS THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE RULES".

Aron seemingly satisfied that his mother was all well now, promised himself that in this life, he would live to the fullest, he also wouldn"t dissapoint his mother this time. He then remembered something and asks "what happened to my grandparents?"

The entity then answered. "YOUR GRANDPARENTS WERE OBVIOUSLY SADDENED BY YOUR PASSING, AND THUS, DEDICATED THEIR REMAINING LIFE AT DONATING TO VARIOUS CHARITIES, THEY ALSO FEED THE HOMELESS CHILDREN REGULARLY AND THUS, ACCUMULATED A LOT OF KARMA POINTS, AND WHEN THEY PASSED AWAY, THEY REINCARNATED WITHOUT MEMORIES BUT STILL ENDED UP TO EACH OTHER AND GET MARRIED AGAIN AND LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE".

Satisfied by this, Aron then asked. "So.... where would I get reincarnated?"

The entity said. "YOUR CHOICE, YOUNG SOUL. EVEN IF YOU CHOOSE THE WORLDS OF FICTION IN YOUR WORLD".

-"!?", "Wait... fictions? You mean those were real?!"

-"HAHAHA, ALL ARE REAL, THEY EXIST HERE IN THE VAST AND EVER EXPANDING UNIVERSES AND MULTIVERSES. YOUR STORY MIGHT EVEN BE A FICTION ON THE OTHER WORLDS" The entity said with an amused tone.

Aron was dumbfounded but quickly collected himself and said "Ok...then... I wanted to be reincarnated in the DC universe"

The entity said "ARE YOU SURE? THAT UNIVERSE WAS WELL KNOWN AS IT IS A CHAOTIC UNIVERSE"

Aron then said. "Yes... I am sure"

Entity: "FINE... YOUR CHOICE... AS FOR YOUR WISHES? YOU CAN WISH ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT DO NOT VIOLATE THE RULES"

Aron: "Then... My first wish... is to have the immortality of Ban from Nanatsu no taizai, I want it to be altered so that I can give other people immortality without limit, afterall I had enough of losing my love ones, of course without losing mine, make it so that I can also take back their immortality with just a thought.

Entity: "HMMM... IMMORTALITY HUH, WELL IT DOESN'T VIOLATE THE RULES SO CONSIDER IT DONE."

Aron nodded and said, "for my second wish... so that even my soul would be protected... I want Archangel Mael's Grace, Sunshine... alter it so that I can absorb the energy from the sun and even from the stars, as the sun was also a star in order to further strengthen it... I also want you to remove the side effect of having a big body in the morning and having a big pride that effects humans like escanor... I also want you make it so that I can turn into "The One" at will".

Entity: "HMMMM... FINE, THIS ALSO DOES NOT VIOLATE THE RULES"

Aron then again nodded gratefully and said. "As for my third wish, in order to increase my fighting capabality and fight speedsters... I want a doujutsu... the sharingan to be exact... alter it so that it would have self upgrading ability... like it needs to be used regularly and effectively to upgrade... I also want my mangekyou abilities to be kamui... and when it become eternal... I want to have my own mangekyou abilities and another pair of mangekyou abilities, the fire control and amaterasu of sasuke... of course while keeping kamui, in short I would have three pair of manekyou abilities when it became eternal and no drawbacks or side effects!....hehehe".

Entity: "I ACTUALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ARE THOSE... BUT I'LL USE MY POWER TO GRANT IT... REST ASSURED, AS IT WILL BE GRANTED AND ALTERED JUST AS YOU SAID".

Aron nodded then said. "As for my 4th wish.... I really have no idea so I think I'll just choose the most common....I would like a system".

Entity: "HMMM.... FINE, I WOULD GIVE YOU A SYSTEM THAT HAIL FROM YOUR INNER DESIRES AND REGRETS TO MANIFEST AND BECOME YOUR SYSTEM".

Aron: "Wow... that sounds... reliable... thanks. Then as for my fifth wish...."

He stopped for a moment, then became serious and said.

"I want to have the saiyans bloodline ability... ZENKAI BOOST!"
