1 Chapter 1

I don't know how I died, but I'm sure I did. I know because I'm surrounded by what seems to be an infinite darkness...

I've been aware of my current spiritual state for a while now, still, I don't know what will happen now. I'll be honest, I hope I can meet a god who will give me some wishes so I can live in one of my favorite stories and have some awesome power to deal with whatever comes my way.

I don't consider myself someone violent or with a great fighting spirit, but I do think I'm quite competitive. I've always liked to win, although I think it's something common in everyone, I also know that it all depends on the situation and the person, even so, I think that deep down we all want to win.

I wish some god would show up soon. Being so long surrounded by darkness and where the only thing I can see is myself is stressful for me, and it would be more so if I didn't have hope and faith that some god will appear and grant me what I desire. I know, I can feel it in my spirit.

You may ask, those who listen to me, how can I be so sure, and the answer is simple, "Hope is the last thing to be lost" and "As long as there is life, the possibilities are endless".

Now, I know that doesn't sound very convincing considering I'm dead, but, ask yourself this question, "What else can I do?". I've been conscious for a while now and the truth is, while I want to despair at this point, because nothing has been happening for a while, I gain nothing by doing so, and I truly believe that it is hope and faith that what I want will happen, that I am relatively sane now. I also know that I am dead and with me should not go the saying "As long as I am alive the possibilities are endless", but, I am looking at that saying from a deeper and more philosophical point of view. Why, simple, it also helps me to stay sane and stay calm.

Sometimes you just have to believe to make it all work, and so far it serves me well, according to me of course. I deeply believe that I have been doing very well despite being all alone, with nothing else to do but talk to myself and of course, to you, those of you who listen to me.

Of course, I know you may also be thinking that maybe I haven't done as well as I could have, but I think there are some things about me that I might as well throw out the window, hahaha. I find it so funny what one can do to keep busy.

I wonder, is that how the people who were stranded alone on islands or in inhospitable places felt? Those places where the possibility of escape seemed null and void and whose only possible friend seemed to be a coconut, or some rock, or something like that... Although I don't have any of those things, at least there are you, hahaha, so I consider myself a winner in comparison. In the end they're on their own and I have you guys. By the way, if you don't think so, you can very well answer me and tell me otherwise, I dare you, hahahaha.

...

I'll take that as a "yes", hahaha, I win.

Now, I think I got a little sidetracked in what I was saying, but that's normal for me, don't worry. Where was I going, mmmm... I remember, hope is the last thing you lose and the possibilities are endless, that's it.

Well, I can tell you that my friends used to say that I liked to eliminate some things in the definitions, something like when you make a square and you erase the limits, but you still say that it's a square because before there was one, only now without stripes to limit it, hahaha. It always used to make me laugh when they said that. But I sincerely believe that there are some things that lack a deeper explanation or definition than the one that already exists.

Example, I'm dead because I can no longer reproduce, but can I really consider myself dead if we look at it more deeply, I mean, I'm still here. Alone, but thinking and clear of myself.

It's because of things like this that I prefer to see things by removing some restrictions or adding some others. But of course, don't worry, everything has to be logical for it to happen, besides, it's not with everything, only with what I consider myself something, mmmmm, how to say it... "Not limitable", like life is, to give an example. I believe that life is something that is so deep that even when we limit it in order to understand it, the word can encompass more, even if for that I have to restructure it, hahaha. And to the one who doesn't like it, let him answer as it favors him, hahaha.

-HAHAHA WELL SAID

Wow, suddenly this voice that resonates everywhere, appears... Incredible, I'm glad he's finally answering me.

-WELL, IT'S FUN TO WATCH, I ALSO LIKE YOUR STAMINA AND I THINK YOU DESERVE A RESPONSE.

Great, and the others won't say anything?

...

-I GUESS NOT

Well, it's their loss.

-SO, LET'S START BY CHANGING THIS PLACE A LITTLE BIT.

Out of nowhere all the darkness around me disappeared and instead I was now sitting on top of an incredibly comfortable piece of furniture. In front of it was a table with a drink and some cookies in a bowl.

-ENJOY TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT.

Well, thank you very much, Lord God.

-I AM NOT A GOD, BUT CALL ME WHAT YOU PREFER.

Wow, that explains a bit about your appearance that oozes darkness... Are you a Demon or something?

-I AM NONE OF THOSE. DON'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT MY IDENTITY, I'M HERE TO FULFILL YOUR HOPES AND GIVE YOU SOME WISHES.

Great, but do I have to give something in return, I hope I can pay with something besides my soul.

-HAHAHA, I SEE THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, BUT THAT'S YOUR DECISION, ON THE OTHER HAND, OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING IN RETURN, BUT DON'T WORRY, I DON'T WANT YOUR SOUL.

All right, how many wishes do I have, and what do I have to give in return?

-I WILL GIVE YOU 3 WISHES, BUT YOU HAVE SOME CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM. THE PRICE IS VARIABLE, SO CHOOSE HOW YOU PREFER YOUR WISHES FIRST.

I picked up the book he handed me and set out to review the "Personalized Wish List". After a while of looking through it I saw one that interested me.

First Wish: Location - Time - Race (Choose your location and the rest is random)

Second wish: Own wish plus a plus (Increased Price)

Third wish: Own wish plus a plus (Increased Price)

I choose this one, it looks interesting.

-I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO BE SO DARING.

If my soul isn't at stake I don't really see a problem with it. Besides, I'm curious to know what the price will be.

-WELL, HAHAHA PERFECT. LET'S START WITH THE FIRST WISH.

I wish to be reborn in the World of Warcraft universe, more precisely in Azeroth.

-AN INTERESTING UNIVERSE... CONTINUES

For the second wish I want a powerful mental protection ability, as powerful as your power allows and with it I can store all my memories, including the ones I have now.

-HAHAHA, SO YOU'RE MAKING SURE TO KILL 3 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. VERY CLEVER OF YOU.

Well, since I know the danger level of the world I'll be born into, I'd rather make sure of myself.

-EXCELLENT, CONTINUE

Before we continue, I'd like us to choose how long I'll be and what race I'll be, if that's okay.

-JAJAJAJA

Suddenly a little lottery wheel appeared. At the top it said "Time" and had various words and colors on it, though there were so many that I couldn't really see them well.

-NO PROBLEM, SO LET'S GET STARTED

And I could see how the wheel began to spin at great speed. Such was its speed that fire came out of the edges and its color began to change little by little, until it reached white and then from one moment to another a flash blinded me.

-HAHAHA, FORTUNE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD SEE. NOW LET'S SEE WHAT TIME YOU WILL BE BORN. BY THE WAY, THE TIME IN WHICH YOU WILL BE BORN IMMEDIATELY REGULATES THE AMOUNT OF RACES AVAILABLE TO CHOOSE FROM, OR IN THIS CASE, TO BE CHOSEN.

It makes sense, and I'm glad it does

-PERFECT, THEN YOU'LL BE BORN IN... THE TIME... OF...

Please say it at once. This kind of thing makes me impatient

-SO THE RISKS APPEAL TO YOU, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH THEM, THAT'S A WORRYING THING.

I am not attracted to risks. I chose that option because it's the one that gives me the most desire in one. Plus life is really more interesting if you don't know what to expect. And I can wait patiently and impatiently... I hope I explain myself hahaha

-TOTALLY, HAHAHA. NOW, YOU WILL BE REBORN IN "PRIMORDIAL AZEROTH."

Oh...

-HAHAHA, LET'S SEE YOUR RACE, WHICH IN MY OPINION IS ONLY RELEGATED TO ELEMENTAL AND THEREFORE WE WILL CHOOSE THE TYPE OF ELEMENTAL IN WHICH YOU WILL BE REINCARNATED.

It's OK.

-WHAT'S GOING ON, HAHAHA CHEER UP

I... I don't know what to think

-HAHAHAHAHA. WELL, LET'S SPIN THIS WHEEL AND SEE YOUR FORTUNE.

Again the wheel began to spin at high speed and from one moment to the next, a flash momentarily blinded me again.

-EVEN IF YOU TRY, THERE IS NO LAW OF FORTUNE THAT YOU CAN LEARN BY OBSERVING THIS WHEEL. IT'S JUST A REGULAR WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Avoid saying for a moment that it was literally on fire because of the speed at which it was spinning....

-WELL, WHAT'S NORMAL FOR ME ISN'T NECESSARILY NORMAL FOR YOU, HAHAHA.

Until I realized that at no time have I ever spoken and all the time I have communicated by my thoughts?

-HAHAHA, I'M HAVING FUN WITH THIS. SO, YOUR ELEMENT TYPE WILL BE "EARTH".

Well, at least it's a tank

-CERTAINLY. NOW CHOOSE YOUR THIRD WISH

Mmmm, I want to have control over my body to be able to change shape and choose whether or not to add mass among other things and the ability to adapt and evolve to everything.

-HOW ABOUT WE MAKE A DEAL?

Will it include my soul as payment?

-NO

So tell me, anyway, I can still choose to accept or not.

-HAHAHA VERY WELL. I PROPOSE TO GIVE YOU ONE MORE POWER, ONE THAT I WILL CHOOSE. I WILL ALSO REFINE YOUR THIRD WISH, BECAUSE TO BE HONEST, YOU SAID IT SO BADLY THAT ANY "GENIE OF THE LAMP" COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. IN RETURN I WILL GIVE YOU QUESTS FROM TIME TO TIME THAT YOU MUST COMPLETE. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE PRICE OF THE WISHES, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Mmm... Deal. One more power, even if you choose it, shouldn't be bad.

-PERFECT. THE PRICE OF THE FIRST WISH WILL BE, "FIGHT AND FIGHT", YOU WILL HAVE TO DEFEAT AND HELP WITH THE ENEMIES THAT SEEK TO DESTROY AND CORRUPT AZEROTH. YOU MUST TRY WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT TO KEEP THE PEACE IN AZEROTH.

FOR THE SECOND, I WILL GIVE YOU THE POWER OF "EMPATHY" AND YOU WILL BE AN "EMPATH". THE PRICE OF ALL THIS WILL BE THAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE ACTIVE UNTIL YOU GAIN THE NECESSARY MASTERY TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL. YOU WILL HAVE TO PERFECT YOUR CONTROL OVER THE MENTAL PROTECTION I WILL GIVE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. YOU WILL ALSO KEEP ALL YOUR MEMORIES, THAT IS INCLUDED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

THE PRICE OF THE THIRD WILL BE, YOU MUST STRIVE TO GAIN CONTROL AND MAINTAIN IT, OR YOU WILL BE CONSUMED BY THE POWER YOU POSSESS AND LOSE YOUR BODY, AND ANY BODY YOU POSSESS AFTERWARDS.

Well, I was expecting something else, but I'm glad to say that I accept. Even though I'm not good at fighting, I'll try my best. By the way, will I at least get the necessary information on how to use my powers?

-I RECOMMEND THAT YOU START LEARNING HOW TO FIGHT, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU START LEARNING HOW TO FIGHT. I RECOMMEND YOU START LEARNING HOW TO FIGHT. SO, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And with that laughter that seemed to have no end, I fainted.
