1 Chapter One

Ever wonder what it's like to die?

Well...

I gotta say, not pleasant.

Maybe I'm starting at the wrong spot. My name is Bond. James Bond.

Just kidding. It's William Wallman. Nice and alliterative. Just the way I like it. Thank you God!~

[You're welcome.]

'HUH?! ARE YOU MY ROB?! I guess it would make sense since I am floating in a black starry void with no body. I've read too many of these kinds of stories to not be accustomed to it.'

[Oh don't mind me. Finish your monologue. It's always fun to listen to them.]

'Okay...?'

Right... where was I?

[I think you were going to talk about your life.]

'Ah. Thanks again?'

As I was saying my name is William, and I'm now dead.

I was born in Idaho. Kooskia to be precise. (Pronounced coo-skee. Odd, I know, but it is what it is.)

It's a small town, but there's a lot of good people.

It was a plain life. I grew up in a loving home with my mom, dad, and brother. I went to school when I was old enough. It was plain as well. I paid attention in class, and managed to finish my assignments at school, so I could do what I wanted at home.

After school, I'd hang out in my room to do one of three things. Play video games, watch videos, or read. I didn't really read paper books, but I wasn't opposed. I normally read manga/manhwa and light novels.

Something to note is that I wasn't too ugly. I don't think I was very attractive, but at least a little.

Another noteworthy thing, I never had a girlfriend. Looking back, I wish I had done something about it. I only ever had one girl have a crush on me that I know of, but I turned it down. My thought process at the time was that I was too young. I was taught that dating should wait until you were sixteen.

It went on like this until senior year. It was a day like any oth-...

[Maybe you should do a flashback! Those are fun to watch too.]

'Why not.'

----------

*Yawwwwn*

I pull my eyes open and stretch. It's the good kind of stretch where your body is extremely relaxed, and you get the shakes out.

'Ahhh... that felt good'

*BLERG-BLERGH-BLERGH-BLERGH-BLERGH*

'Darn alarm clock... I'm already awake.'

I get up and go to the bathroom down the hall from my room. I take a shower, brush my teeth, and shave.

I walk out to the living room to get my shoes on and grab my bag.

{Time skip to the middle of the school day}

In the middle of the history lecture, sounds like firecrackers go off.

'What is that? Fred and George?'

The teacher looks confused and steps outside the class. A few moments later another crack. This time much, much closer than before.

Then an announcement sounds through the school.

"There's an armed man in the history wing of the school! Teachers, follow emergency procedures immediately! This is not a drill! Again, this is not a drill!"

I look around and see everyone with wide eyes and looks of terror.

Then the classroom door opens once again... but it's not the teacher.

'Ohhh... this is a big bucket full of holy crapola in the highest degree.'

It's a man holding a pistol and a rifle slung across his back. His white t-shirt and jeans are covered with droplets of red. He looks around the room, and does one thing. Something that causes a variety of screams to resonate through the room. He smiles

At this, I didn't scream, but freeze. The only thing trudging through my paralyzed mind is the fact that he has a gun, is covered in blood, and our teacher still hasn't come back.

My emotions quickly transform from terror to rage.

'He came here with guns for no reason other than having fun. This monster! This sicko! Thinks he can just come here with a gun and shoot up the school? My place of education since I was born?!'

I sprint towards him. I was only a few meters away, so I figured I was close enough.

In the next instant, we both toppled to the ground as I tackled him. I never played any sports, but I was over six feet tall, with a build in between that of a swimmer and a footballer. I raise my hand to start wailing on the guy. I was never one to fight, but this guy deserves it. Hopefully I can knock out some teeth too. I bring my fist down, when suddenly...

*BANG!!!*

His gun went off.

'Did he miss? I hope he did, I still wanna whack this guy!'

I throw punch after punch, until finally, after he turns to a bloody pulp, he stops moving. He's still breathing, so he's just knocked out. With him on his back, and his face leaning to the side I can see his mouth leaking blood, and a couple of white fragments on the ground next to him.

'Looks like I have successfully successed!'

----------

[Successed?]

'Don't judge me! I'm funny!'

[Fine.]

'Back to the flashback then.'

----------

And then I collapse. Pain starts to shoot through my stomach as the adrenaline fades. I become dizzy as everything fades to black.

'I guess I died. Dang, I died young.'

I drop a tear as a single thought goes through my mind.

'I want a churro...'

----------

[Is that all you want to say?]

'Yeah, I think so.'

[Right. Time for a Q&A session, William. Do you want me to talk first, or do you want to ask questions?]

'Well, I suppose it would make the most sense for you to explain so I know what to ask.'

[Right. Quite logical. Some people get confused or angry when they die. It's nice talking to the calm ones.]

[As you know, you have died, and are floating in a void waiting to be sent on your way.]

'Yep, I've got that.'

[Now here's the part that you don't know. Put simply, you did a good deed, and since I like you, I'll let you have some requests. Basically wishes. I won't limit the number of requests, but I also won't let it get out of hand. You can get powers of your choosing, but you will have to work hard to make them stronger. You cannot request to instantly have god level powers, you can however wish for an ability that would give you the potential to get to that point. You can choose the world you go to, you can even mix and match world to make something new. You can also make alterations to the chosen world to be more to your liking.]

'That sounds freaking awesome! Can I borrow a paper and pencil or something?'

[Sure. I'll make a temporary construct as a body for you so you can actually use them though.]

'Oh! Right, I forgot I was a soul.'

[No problem.]

Suddenly in the next instant, without any weird pushing or pulling, or any other discomfort, I am sitting in the middle of a small cozy office, in front of a middle aged man in a suit.

"Wow. I thought that would hurt or something."

ROB chuckles at that. And continues in a smooth, deep voice.

"I am all-powerful, so of course I can do it like that. The only reason a god would want to cause a soul discomfort is because they like making them uncomfortable, don't like their jobs, or don't like the soul."

"That makes sense."

"On that topic, stories on Earth that talk about these situations sometimes implicate ROBs as being inept, childish, etc. I won't deny that some are like that, However, I personally don't see the point in acting like that. I'd prefer to do my job properly without any hassle, but also enjoy it."

"People do say to enjoy what you have while you have it. I always thought that they were wise words to live by."

"Indeed they are, but we should get on with you making your requests."

----------

After a fair amount of time writing and scribbling out ideas for worlds and abilities, I come to a conclusion and make the requests.

"First off, I would like to go to the world of Twilight with some changes. To begin with, I want to go into the body of Bella's twin brother a week before the first year of middle school. I want the bodies personality to be like mine, so we can merge without me changing. Also, just to make sure, I want the bodies' memories as well. Don't want to be with a family I have no memories of."

"Understood."

"I want a vampire mate that's a good fit for me. Honestly, I don't think someone like Rosalie would be a good fit. The same with Alice. I think we'll be good friends, but I'm pretty chill, so her personality would tire me out. I want the person to be a surprise. I know it'll change events, but I'll take whatever's thrown at me."

"Yes, having a completely new person in the timeline will change a great many things. You won't be able to depend on the canon timeline. I can grant that though."

"Okay, how about you just make sure that Charlie and Renee split up, with Renee taking both Bella and me. Then make sure that we get sent to Forks at the right time."

"Alright."

"Next, I want a mental enhancement like permanent NZT with no downsides. I also want to be a shield like Bella so that my mind can't be read. On the topic of becoming a vampire, I'd like to be twice as fast and strong than any other vampire in the world. This way, I can have a good mind and body once I become a vampire."

"The shield is a good idea. I would have suggested something like it if it weren't brought up. Either that, or I'd have hidden your past life.

"Next request. You may get this a lot, but I want to be extremely attractive. I want vampire level handsomeness even before becoming a vampire."

"All these requests are reasonable. I will grant them, and also make it so that the plot is still mostly like the canon you know. Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Very well, but be warned, even if it is similar to the canon, there will be differences."

"I see... Well. I've already made up my mind on the fact that I'll take whatever's thrown at me. Heck, I already kinda proved it by attacking that guy before he killed me."

"Huh. Well since you have chosen your requests. and locked them in, it is now time to send you on your journey.

He snaps his fingers, and I snap awake.

'I was asleep?'

I look around, and see that I'm in a plain bedroom on a bed. There is also a dresser and desk. Again, quite plain. Suddenly, I pass out. As I sleep, I go through something similar to a dream. In it, I review each and every memory that this body holds.

----------

I'm still in the dreamscape, looking through my new memories. And apparently, ROB came through on my wishes. I am freaking attractive. It feels weird to say that about myself, but I swear to ROB it's true. Right now I am only 11, but I can tell I am going to look dang good.

My NZT Mind caused me to be heralded as a genius throughout elementary school. I had persuaded my mom, Renee, to keep me at a normal pace in school under the guise of me not wanting to be socially awkward when I grow up. It works out great for me because I will still be in school by the time we go to Forks.

All in all, it looks like it is working out. Charlie and Renee split up, I have NZT Mind, I am attractive, Bella and I act more like a parent than our mom, and when I grow up, I will meet extremely dangerous vampires, that hopefully are what I asked for. Namely my mate. I'm so excited!
