Chapter 1: Careful What You Wish For.
Nero: "This sucks..."
I was playing the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and had gotten the Bad Ending for the Blood and Wine DLC expansion.
I had gotten all the endings a dozen times but I never wanted to get bad endings for games internally, but I wanted to finally get it after all this time.
It wasn't all that great to be honest which is why I was disappointed and dissatisfied with it.
But I loved the world, it wasn't to hard, in fact it was just a monster infested Game of Thrones world. Nothing like Anime worlds where Universal and Planetary being exists.
Although the Unseen Elder vampires and Gaunter O'Dimm are the exceptions. Both are in a league of their own and the latter is a presumed Demon with interdimensional powers.
Nero: "I wish I could be Reborn in a fantasy world like the Witcher, that would be far better than this life wasting away as a Jobless shut-in neet."
My eyes felt heavy and soon after my eyes had closed.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an unfamiliar environment,but out of nowhere without giving me any time to realise what was happening or examine my voidless surroundings, a voice I was all too familiar with spoke, one I feared the most if this was reality.
???: "Greetings, a pleasure to make your aquaitance Nero Silver."
I turned around and saw a man adorned in simple merchant's clothing, but his face was what made me quake with fear.
Nero: "Y-Y-Y-YOU A-ARE-"
O'Dimm: "Gaunter O'Dimm, Master Mirror or the Man of Glass you may call me."
Fuuccccckkkkk!!!!!
Why this guy!!!!!
No!!!
I mean Demon!!!!!!!!
I am so screwed!!!!
Gaunter O'Dimm is an incredibly powerful being and is the number one most powerful being in the Witcher Universe.
Ciri with her Elderblood heritage from Lara Dorren is number two.
And the Unseen Elder vampires class is number three.
Gaunter O'Dimm is a being with immense power and is often known as being Evil Incarnate and a Demon that grants wishes in exchange for Human Souls.
He grants a person's exact wish they ask for, not what they want.
Best example is Olgierd von Everec, he is the main figure the Heart of Stone DLC is centered around as O'Dimm wants his out in accordance with their contact.
He had wished to win Iris' hand in marriage, but it all went wrong.
O'Dimm granted him his wish, but it was not how he had imagined it.
Iris ended up living a miserable life as Olgierd became a cold and heartless person as a result of the wish.
It was only until the contract neared its end that he realised what he had done, but it was far too late as Geralt brings him Iris' Blue Rose which resulted in her spirit ceasing to exist.
One of the most tragic stories in the Witcher Universe, and all because he had made a wish but failed to word it correctly.
Now that I think about it...
!!!!
Fuck!
I wished to be Reborn into the Witcher world, but I neve specified how!
O'Dimm must have granted my wish without my consent fact to face like how a ROB normally would!
Maybe I can still rectify this since I am here with him and I never agreed to giving him my Soul nor signed a contract with him yet.
He needs a contract signed when granting wishes, as for why is unknown, but at least it is the only weakness O'Dimm has which I can use against him and to my advantage.
As far as I am aware, O'Dimm is not Omniscient since he was unable to tell Geralt where Ciri was, which she was on the Isle of Mist unconscious under a spell to keep her hidden from the Wild Hunt finding her.
He also doesn't seem to be able to read people's minds so I am safe in keeping my thoughts a secret from him.
Nero: "May I call you O'Dimm for short, if you do not mind of course."
O'Dimm: "Why of course, go ahead."
I need yo such up to this guy as much as I can. He only punishes evil people while granting wishes as a neutral individual to all parties, good or bad. Since I am not bad and evil I am in the clear so O'Dimm will not actively target me.
Nero: "Thank you. I had spent some time thinking and judging by how you react, you are aware I already knew of you. Also it seems you had granted a wish of mine without my Consent face-to-face which violates your wishing contract, and so you are obliged to allow me to reword my previous wish since If I am here, I have nit been Reborn yet as per the wish."
O'Dimm: "Well, you certainly get straight to it don't you. But yes, you are here because I want to go kver the details of the contract with you as well as the price you will have to pay."
Nero: "I know what you want as your price. I would have never willingly made this contract with you, but seeing as it is too late yo ho back, I will move onwards. I can guarantee you that I will gather Human Souls and exchange them in place of my own."
O'Dimm: "I accept. But to get their souls you would need yo sign a contract with them and grant them wishes much like how I am doing for you. You know what I am talking about do you not?"
Nero: "Yes I do."
O'Dimm: "Good, now then. This is what I am offering, for every wish I grant you will double the amount of souls you need to gather in exchange."
Don't try to trick me Demon! I know what shit you are trying to pull with me and I ain't falling for it!
Nero: "No problem, but I must be granted a indefinite time limit to aquire them. If you allow this, I will guarantee I will be able to get hundreds of Souls as a extra gift, free of charge as a kind gesture of appreciation for having granted my wishes as per WHAT I WANT! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to get lots of souls for you then, and you would be losing out."
I had to clarify my sides ate what I want, I don't want to get dupled or tricked by his and need to be careful with this.
O'Dimm: "Very well. You may make your wishes and I wigo over it in detail ensuring it is as you want. You need to get one soul by default to excahnge for your own."
After that,I ahd made my sides and specified in great detail what I WANTED.
This was the abridged version of what I had wished for.
(1 soul for his own)
(2) 1st Wish - Higher Vampire with powers and abilities centred around my character, Individuality and personality (each High Vampire has their own unique powers suiting them)
(4) 2nd Wish - Can Drain Blood in order to strengthen existing abilities, such as increase regeneration speed from full body destruction from 50 years to one day or few seconds if enough blood is drained and used as compensation.
(8) 3rd Wish - Can steal/copy the powers, abilities, souls and memories of others. (O'Dimm had said that the souls I gain through this ability will not contribute to the souls needed to gather for the contract unless I gain them via with the verbal or non-verbal (action) consent of the other party.)
O'Dimm: "Now that you are satisfied with the specifics of your wishes, the price for them is 8 Unique Souls and 250 Billion souls within a 15 year time limit."
!!%#&÷*÷;*#;#*@&#&#&
[Author has sensored extremely rude behavioral use of language, if that even makes sense? :P]
Nero: "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS GAUNTER O'DIMM?! DON'T TRY TO BREAK THE DEAL! IT IS DOUBLE THE AMPUNT OF SOULS FOR EACH WISH AND MY OWN SOUL'S REPLACEMENT! THAT WOULD BE 8 SOULS ONLY!"
O'Dimm: "Indeed, but the wishes grant you a great deal of power, the additional souls have no time limit but you would have to actively seek souls to gather and not try to avoid it with your newly granted Immortal lifespan. The 8 souls must be unique and gathered within 15 years. You gained power that others could only dream of having. Is that not fair?"
I was enraged but when he explained himself I couldnt say anything against that.
This Demon was being more generous than he normally would be, basically he is sayinh the 8 Unique souls is price of wish, the rest is price for the level of power of each wish I made.
Nero: "Fine, that is reasonable and quite fair considering it is you, though there are two things. One I may need your help with some things and I will compensate you appropriately given time if it too much to do at the moment, and I will also need to abway to travel between worlds so I can get the 250 billion souls since that would be impossible on a single world.
O'Dimm: "Everything will work itslef out just fine."
He snapped his fingers and my vision backs out as I await to wake up in my new body.
