Next Life [EDITED]

I open my eyes to see a ROB sitting in front of me.

"So I died, huh?" I asked tiredly.

"Yes. You went in your sleep, so not painfully. Do you wish to know why you are here?" ROB asked.

"I suppose so. Are my kids going to be alright?" I asked.

"Yes. They will be fine. Don't forget that you had a sizable life insurance policy that will grow as a trust fund until they are 18. So don't worry about them. They will live better than you did." ROB told me.

"I guess it could be worse. Alright, why am I here?" I asked, relieved my kids would be just fine.

"You will be reincarnated into a world, and depending on your karma levels, you might get some perks to go with it." ROB answered.

"Alright, let's do it." I said.

"Alright." ROB said as he opened a folder on his desk. "It looks like you have a positive karma amount. You can't choose the world, it will be Twilight BTW, but you get one wish and your choice of power...and a couple of perks. Believe it or not, that's more than most."

"How did I get so much Karma?" I asked in shock.

"You were an above average father, which is more than I can say for half the father's on your Earth. You also did next to 0 evil, its actually BELOW the average." ROB said.

"Alright, what about my looks, age, time of arrival, back story? I don't want to go to school or, heaven forbid, deal with puberty again." I said.

"You can choose your looks. You can avoid school and puberty without a wish, so many people used a wish to avoid being reborn, it has been made standard. I can actually grant you an additional wish if you want to go through rebirth. Your back story is also a perk." ROB listed out.

"OK, for my looks..." (do your own thing here) "...for my age I want to be around 22 at the start of cannon. I want to mentally arrive after graduation, and my back story is...my father was Charlie's older brother, but my parents died when I was 10 giving custody to Charlie after Renee and Bella left so she can't take me as well. I was left with a sizable life insurance policy that we decided not to touch until I graduated so it would grow. The only bit we did use was from the sale of my parents' house to put an addition onto the house so it would have an additional room for me, the remainder was put into the trust. I didn't graduate valedictorian, but I did have a high enough GPA to be respectable. I have hypermythymesia for both lives memories. No serious relationships, a couple of girlfriends in high school, but they were trash and cheated on me(been there personally and it will come into play with his wish), virgin, and I graduated single. Got my car and motorcycle licenses and have myself a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that is my project and my 2000 Honda Shadow that I use for my daily. I don't want to try and find the stang in decent enough condition, and I need a ride when I get there." I listed out.

"Acceptable. Now, what power and wish do you want? Your mind being blocked is an automatic thing. Whatever power you choose will be set to be acceptable to the laws of the world, so no Kryptonian or Saiyan bloodlines. And there's no getting around it with a wish." ROB said with a smirk.

"Understandable. The time control ability of Hiro from Heroes for my power." I said.

"It's acceptable, but time travel and time stop aren't allowed. Time slowing to NEAR stop would be possible, though." ROB said.

"Works for me. So long as I can survive vampires for an attack or two until I can escape, I don't mind." I said.

"You will, but it will only get stronger if you become a vampire." ROB informed me.

"Cool. For my wish, I want to remember every book, movie/TV series and song from my past life. At least the ones that aren't there already or would be by another in the next 20 years." I stated.

"Done. You will open your eyes the day after you graduated, and everything will be ready and waiting for you." ROB said with a wave of his hand.

The next thing I knew, I was opening my eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling before my memories kicked in.

"Oh. Maybe I should buy some property and build a house on it. I can't stay with Charlie for the next four years." I mumbled to myself tiredly.

.....

During the next year I would purchase a large plot of land, release a few songs and even a few books. By the end of that time, my new house was finished.

The books I released were Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Eragon, A Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter, only the 1st of each series for now. The Witcher and a few others were already here, but I think I lucked out. Of course, under the pen name Captain Jack Sparrow, because why not. (literally the first name that came to my mind)

My artist name was the same, but nobody knew who I was except my lawyers who transported my books and songs to my publisher and distributer. They didn't want me going to anyone else, so they never tried to dig for my information.

My dad (Uncle Charlie) didn't even know what I was doing, but he did visit every now and then.

And just like that, four years passed with a book from each series being released.

"Alright, Sean. You need to start getting out of the house more. Other than buying food and other necessities, I haven't seen you leave this house since it was built. Come house sit for a bit. Bella is moving back to Forks, and I want you there when she walks through the door." Charlie said.

"Oh? Alright. I'll take a shower and change before heading over. I just finished my black pearl, so it will be her maiden voyage." I said as I walked out of the room.
