Ch. : 5. Waking up on the Ocean, Awakening superpower, Being Interrogated, and Wish Fulfillment

When Manav's eyes darkened, he couldn't utter a word.

His consciousness submerged into a black abyss.

He found himself floating in a world devoid of anything but darkness.

Suddenly, a Punk Portal materialized before him like graffiti, and he was drawn towards it as if being devoured by a black hole.

Upon opening his eyes, he found himself bound to a chair, situated in the dilapidated and grimy room of a small ship sailing the sea.

The ship's sporadic bobbing and the sight of the vast blue ocean through a window with broken, melted glass confirmed his maritime location.

Strangely, he didn't experience seasickness, despite it being his first time at sea.

"Well, I am fortunate not to have seasickness," he mused, considering himself lucky.

But then he chided himself,

"Why am I considering myself lucky for not having seasickness? I am still bound here like a captive."

His bindings were peculiar - dim golden ropes tied in a manner suggesting someone harbored masochistic thoughts towards him.

The thought of being beaten by a masochist sent tremors through Manav's body.

"No, no, no, I have to escape before that masochist comes and subjects me to his perverted beatings with candles, whips, and so on," he thought, trying to dispel those dangerous thoughts while attempting to loosen his bindings.

Despite his efforts, the ties were bound as if he was glued to the chair with superglue.

He stopped and started contemplating a plan to outwit the masochist.

"These ties are very tight. I need to devise a plan to fool that masochist," Manav muttered aloud, oblivious to the possibility that someone might be listening.

While pondering, he noticed a change in his sight.

He saw a button in the corner of his vision.

As he focused on the button, it zoomed in.

He discovered many words hanging in front of his sight like calibration, diesel amount, extract blueprint, 3D simulation, and fault-finder, among others.

There were also a few options written as 'find yourself'.

Manav scanned his surroundings and found an old, rusted engine lying in the corner.

He clicked on the scan options and focused on the engine.

After a few minutes, the results came in.

Most of the parts were melted and rusted, the internal structure was heavily damaged, and the valves were disfigured.

He blinked his eyes twice in quick succession to close the function.

"Oh, damn, what cool eyes! With this ability, I can quickly ascend to the top of this world," Manav exclaimed aloud.

"This must be a gift from the goddess. So where are my most anticipated wishes?" he wondered aloud.

"Oh, here is your wish, you pervert. So you lusted after us, what a pervert," a sweet female voice echoed from behind him.

The moment Manav heard the voice, his heart leaped into his throat.

Manav tried to turn his face sideways to see who was speaking, but the ties prevented him from turning his face.

"Who are you? Have you been listening to me the whole time? And what wish?" Manav asked, trying to sound serious.

"Okay, don't try to make your voice sound serious. You're just a pervert who lusts after women and wants them as your wish," a girl's voice retorted.

"Firstly, I am not a pervert. Secondly, I don't know what my own wish is. Thirdly, can you untie me?" Manav replied.

"Why should I untie you, pervert?" Manav was irritated by the changing voice of the female figure behind him and the constant accusation of being a pervert.

"I'm not a pervert. I was thrown into this world by that Punk Goddess," Manav tried to convince them.

Because the voice changed every time, he thought there might be several female figures standing or sitting behind him.

"I know that goddess, or punk goddess, as you said," a voice replied.

"She just summoned us here and trapped us in one body."

"Saying that we are someone else's wish."

"So, happy journey."

"She snapped her fingers, like Thanos did."

"Boom, we are here."

"Tell us, how can you lust so much? You massive pervert,"

Several voices echoed, as if they were recording a terrorist tape to be sent to the President of some country.

"Can you stop using different tones every time?" Manav asked, shrugging his shoulders.

He was confused.

The goddess had granted his wish to meet all his anticipated goddesses, but she had trapped them in one body, and now they were switching like solid-state relays.

Manav was shocked at how the goddess could grant his wishes in such a weird way.

"Okay, untie him. He can't do anything to us," a mature female voice sounded.

"Why, Diana? Let us have fun with him for a while," a sad voice sounded as if she hadn't had enough fun.

"Stop, Harley. You can have fun with him some other time," an alluring mature voice sounded.

Manav noticed the pattern and realized that these were the voices of characters from his previous life.

The first one was Wonder Woman, Princess Diana.

The second one was Joker's girl, Harley Quinn.

The third one was Catwoman, Selina Kyle.

Manav heard light footsteps, and a beautiful white hand extended and started untying his bindings.

But before she could do it, the yellow rope started shining like a golden sun.

Manav started feeling uneasy, and sweat began to pour out of his body.

"Tell me, are you a good one or a bad one?" an alluring voice whispered in Manav's ears.

"I, I, I am goo…" Before Manav could complete his sentence, the rope stopped shining, and the other hands, which were also very beautiful, untied the bindings on his body.

"Selina, you will never change, your teasing habits…" a royal voice sounded.

When Manav raised his head to see who it was, he found a beautiful redhead woman with sexy curves and a tight green scale suit on her body.

"Mera," Manav instinctively called her name.

Mera didn't answer him and waved the Lasso in the air, and the lasso disappeared.

She walked towards the gate, and before leaving, she turned to Manav and said,

"Food is on that table. Fill your belly."

She then turned and walked towards the captain's cabin.

Manav saw a table with food on it.

It wasn't a feast, just a few loaves of bread and hot water steaming in an iron kettle.

He walked towards the table, dragging the chair he was tied to towards the table.

After placing the chair near the table, he sat on it and started gulping down the loaves of bread.

Suddenly, he choked and extended his hand to drink water from the glass.

He saw that there was a red lip mark on the glass, but he didn't care and just gulped down the water from the glass.

After talking to the old captain of the broken ship they were travelling on, she walked towards the deck of the ship and just stood there, watching the scenery of the sea waves.

Sometimes she could see dolphins, whales, or sharks speeding in the ocean.

Her body was continuously switching with different bodies.

"I want to watch. Let me watch. Me too."

"Wow, there are so many dolphins and whales."

"Yes, in our previous world, many of those were hunted down or died from pollution."

"What a peaceful sea."

"Yeah, peace, something we never got in our previous world."

All the women were talking to each other in different languages.

But they could understand the different accents strangely, as if all their brains were connected to each other.

Many of the girls were fighting for the next switch chance to see the beautiful scenery of the sea.

Manav walked out of the room after having breakfast and walked towards the deck position where all the switching girls were standing.

"Hey, sorry for this situation," Manav said in an apologetic tone.

"Now you are feeling sorry."

"But why can I feel a happy aura on him?"

When Manav heard this sentence, his heart leaped into his throat.

"No, no, how can I feel happy? I am just a bit happy, but I am very sad about you being kidnapped here in one body," Manav said, looking sad and gesturing with his fingers.

"I will definitely send you back, promise," Manav promised.

"Okay then, pinky promise," Harley said, and all the girls made a pinky promise with Manav.

"Ha, you know, my situation was very bad in the Marvel world. I had to work for MODOK, and no salary, with the fear of being killed at any time," GwenPool said sadly.

"Well, very sad, I have read your comic," Manav said, nodding with concern for GwenPool.

"By the way, no offense, GwenPool, but aren't you asexual?" Manav asked, sounding weird.

"I don't know, that Punk Goddess made some changes in my body and said, 'Enjoy yourself'," GwenPool said, resting her head on her hands.

"But you know, this is rude, very rude," Gwen Pool quickly changed the topic and attacked back on Manav.

"No, no, no, I just read it somewhere, and just now didn't you say it yourself?" Manav said, raising his hands in surrender.

"You know you have no talent to talk to girls," Manav heard Catwoman's voice.

"Yeah, I know," Manav just nodded and accepted the fact.

Suddenly, Poison Ivy appeared and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Diana had left the glass on the table where she just drank water from
