Wheels of Fate

They say, if you don't smile a day, you have wasted it. No laugh a day, it's not worth it.

Well, how could you put a smile on my face if I don't have a plan for my life? I don't enjoy anything, except for comics and movies. But, how could I have a comic and watch movies if I don't have the money for it. Well, I stole so bite me.

This life of mine was... Uneventful. Like my only entertainment on my life is just comics and movies. I don't a relationship, or any relationship ever. I don't have a decent education, just the common curtesies and basic knowledge. I don't have a real job, just a part-time singer of a club. They only have low pay because, let's face it, who wants a singer on a club? They'd prefer a DJ, more on upbeat kinda preference.

If you're wondering about my parents, just forget it. I can't forget it 'cause I don't even know about them.

Being a guy of that life, obviously not fun. So, most of the days, I don't smile and I don't laugh. I mean, only rude people laugh at my predicament.

Anyways, you must be wondering, why am I sharing my life with you? Well, I don't even know myself. One time, I finished playing and the other, I just came into a place of nothingness. Just white room, a table, two seats of opposite sides. And, oh, an old man and me seating.

"Well, Mr. Reeves that was a fascinating story you got there." The old man smiled wryly. I could tell he's just pitying my story.

I only stared for a moment and said, "Well, I answered your question, so... please answer mine... please?" I said, with uncertainty.

The old man sighed, "I just have a couple more questions." He assured with a smiled.

"Man, I just said my story. I don't even know why I'm saying it, in the first place. I just answered what you questioned, my life story, if I remember it." I said, crossing my arms like a pouting baby.

"I assure you, you'll get your answers after my questions." The old man assured again. He took the paper in front of him and continued, "Is your name, Arthur Reeves?"

Arthur rolled his eyes and sighed, "Old man, you just called me 'Mr. Reeves' earlier. Are you finished with the questions? Good, I wan-" He was cut off with another question.

"Very well, are you aware of your coming here?" The old man just smiled, like there's nothing wring with the world.

Arthur just stared at him, jaw-dropped, and shook his head slowly, saying, "Like I said earlier, one time, I just finished singing and the other, I'm here in a blink of an eye. Please tell me it's the last one."

"I'll take that as you aren't aware. Okay, Mr. Reeves, ask away." The old man said, smiling.

Arthur sighed in relief, and slowly questioned, "Do you where I am? And, why are you asking my life stories? Did you kidnapped me?"

"To the answer of your questions, in order, We are in heaven. I asked about your about life story so I can be sure if you still remember your life and I didn't kidnapped you, you died, Mr. Reeves." The old man explained, ignoring the confused face of Arthur.

Arthur looked confused for a few seconds until he finally asked, "I-I... I'm dead!? I mean, that explains the white room and smiling old man but I died?! How?"

The old man sighed, "You died in the club, you're working. You got drugged by a group of women and raped until death."

"Wha-What? I got raped to death!? That's just a pathetic way to die, damn I didn't even remember it." Arthur gnashed his teath.

"Well, you got raped while gagging your teeth, wipping your bloodied body and bitten to death. I must say, this is a rare occurence of murder. Death by blood lost during ****."

"How uncool, I didn't even enjoyed it at my last moments." Arthur said, sadly.

"Well, now that's done, you'll be on your way to the afterlife. Enjoy!" The old man beamed a smile.

"Just like that? No judgement ? No nothing?" Arthur questioned.

The old man sighed, "Mr. Reeves, that's just life. Accept your fate. Now, please be on your wa-" The old got cut off by a sudden opening of a door.

"Gatekeeper Peter, I have news from above. This young man here is the billionth soul to die."

The old man was surprise, "Oh, that's a surprise!." He turned to Arthur, "Well, your fate have been changed, Mr. Reeves." He smiled and swung his arm, a giant wheel appeared.

Arthur has a confused look and turned to the old man, "What do you mean my fate have been changed? What do you mean the billionth soul to die?"

The newcomer then explained, "Well, Mr. Reeves, every billionth soul to die here will have a chance to spin the wheel of fate. This is a life changer, so don't waste it. Just press the button and you will be reincarnated, in random universe, of course."

Arthir looked skeptical but he did what the newcomer said and presses the button. The wheel of fate has three wheels, ranging from small to big wheels. The smallest wheel stopped and Arthur looked at what it said. 'Memories will be kept'. What does that mean.

"Oh, you lucky thing. You will get to keep you memory. Just wonderful." The old man said.

The second wheel stopped and arthur looked expectantly, please be good, please be good. It said 'Marvel Universe: Random'. Random? What does that even mean? Is it the MCU or the comics?

"The Marvelous world, the adventure universe, full of wonders. So far so good." The newcomer said.

Huh, that was good, atleast. I know some Marvel comics and if it is MCU, I only saw the endgame. I didn't watched the recent 'Far From Home' one, my neighbor haven't downloaded it, got no money. So... It's fine, atleast, I know the major plot.

The third wheel stopped and it said 'three wishes'. Oh yeah, Jackpot baby!

The newcomer turned to Arthur, "Three wishes. Please think carefully as you will only have three chances. Don't waste it."

"Okay, okay, I'll just think about it." Now what would I wish? Omnipotence? Franklin Richard's power? Controlled Phoenix force? Hmm, being overpowered isn't fun. I should enjoy the journey.

Then, what powers do I love? Oh yeah, spider powers but I don't like Peter' power. I like the spider #42 by Miles Morales.

"My first wish is the abilities of Ultimate Spider-man, Miles Morales, please." I looked visibly excited. I love being spider-man with cloaking ability and bio-electricity charge.

"Very well, what is your second wish?"

Hmm, I have the powers, only missing is the suit. I mean, I said I should just enjoy the journey but... nah, it's a hassle building a suit. I like Reed Richards' Unstable Molecule, able to changed in any design due to the instabilty of molecule resulting in molecular change. But, I would also like an AI to help me so, Ironspider suit? Nah, limited nanites with limited energy if there's no arc reactor as battery. Then, a symbiote? Too unstable senient being but great companions.

"My second wish is having permanent Symbiote as my companion, but resistant to fire and high frequencies. It is possible?" Arthur was unsure to add details of the wish.

"Possible, then your last wish?" The newcomer just smiled. That was a smart move, kid.

Yes! Woohoo, now, what should I have next? Powers and suit is here, then intelligence? Nah, I wished for abilities of Miles and he is pretty smart. No need to be so smart. Then, any important skills? nope! I should have a cover from spider life, something that doesn't scream any possibilities of involvement after spider-man. A skilled lawyer? Police Officer? Aha, a chef! Who is the most skilled chef in my opinion? Jòichirò Saiba, the legendary chef of Shokugeki no Soma.

"My last wish is having the abilities of Jòichirò Saiba, from Shokugeki no Soma!" Arthur smiled, very satisfied with his choice.

"With this, I shall send you on your way, I wish a great adventure to you, Mr. Reeves."
