CH 1
Alright so let's get this out of the way, yes you're dead, yes I'm a "ROB", and yes I'll be giving you some wishes for your next life with your memories intact. Give yourself a minute to digest this. "Announced the floating white orb or ROB"
Okay... Let's take that minute and think over my situation, assuming everything they've told me is true then I don't really have a say in this other than asking for some good wishes...I'll just...wait.
"Hey ROB is it a safe assumption that me not freaking out or questioning my death your doing?" I asked
"Yup"
...
...
..."ok"..
Might as well roll with this then. "How many wishes and what are the restrictions?"
"You'll be getting 5 wishes and the only real restriction is nothing to OP other than that, have at it!"
"Neat, can I know where I'll be thrown too after we're done here?" Hopefully I'll get an option to choose, it'd sure as hell help with my decision on what I should wish for.
"You'll have 3 worlds to be reborn in Harry Potter, Transformers, Or any DC verse. the ROB's of those multiversal clusters owe me some favors" ROB says.
"Are you-"
"Yes I'm reading your mind"
RUDE. I Thought.
"Eh you get to my position and stuff like privacy becomes nonexistent"
...Ignoring that, let's see HP, Transformers or DC. I know jack-squat about Transformers other than popular media, and while I'm extremely knowledgeable about DC it's way to dangerous and unnecessarily complicated even with the wishes I feel like I'd spend way to much time fixing crap instead of enjoying life. That only leaves..
"I'll choose Harry Potter please." I stated
"Alright now onto your wishes, and don't worry about your appearance or timeline, I'll toss those in for you too." said the Magnanimous ROB
Okay wishes...wishes.." For my wishes I'd like.
1.Essence of the Archmage
2.Essence of the Home
3.Essence of ROB Insurance
4.Essence of Blank
5.Essence of the Inviolate Self
"Hmm, so you want my guarantee as one of your wishes then? Well I don't have any issues with that, none of them seem to be to OP by themselves either... Good choices!" Exclaimed ROB
"So now choose your appearance and timeline."
"I'd like to be 6'4" (193.04cm) and have a similar appearance to Henry Cavils' 'Geralt of Rivia' look and build but shorter hair please. For the timeline, let me be 3 years before Harry goes to Hogwarts and could I be 18 upon arrival?." I asked
"Sure, now off you go!! Good Luck!!" announced the illustrious ROB
The thundering sound of a snap is all I register in what appears to be a void which I hadn't took notice until now. Before I could really question it I'm out like a light...
...
...
...
First thing I felt when I came too was how damp and cold my cheek felt, second thing was the blinding light and dull headache upon opening my eyes. Getting up and looking around I appear to be in a blank concrete room with only a steel nondescript door and I'm wearing an orange jumpsuit. "Well this isn't worrying in the least" I sarcastically mutter
Let's see if my wishes are there.
I close my eyes and concentrate, trying to picture a Home, imagining things of comfort, a beach, a bed, books, the forest. Before I could think any further I hear a *Ding* and a mental image of my newly constructed safe haven pops up with the option of going there. If that's any indication of my powers working then that's good...
*Ring *Ring
[Your Friendly ROB here, just wanted to let you know that there was a little hiccup with your destination, so that sucks, anyways as you may have noticed you still have your wishes intact and are alive, good job me! I won't be contacting you again, enjoy your new life. You might question why don't I just fix the little mistake.......Cause I don't wanna, be happy that you even had this chance, sheesh. kk Bye!!"]
....That piece of ####.
Before I could expand on my thoughts regarding the POS ROB the door to my room opens up, and 2 fully armored people rush in with guns uncomfortably pointing at me. I may be Inviolable but I must certainly won't like the pain associated with being shot at.
"D-1374 , you are to leave your cell and come with us you'll be helping out with testing today" snickered Grunt #1
D-1374...I know where I am...SCP Foundation. This is such a far cry from Harry Potter that it's not even funny. If I survive this place I'm so gonna kick the crap outta ROB.

Heres a description of the Essences
I won't be doing anything like this in the future.
Essence of the Archmage
Perfect memory with infinite storage
Beyond genius level intellect
Capacity to learn any 'magic' even unique ones upon seeing it once or understanding enough about it. This also includes things like Ki, Chakra, soul power, etc.
Possess a supernatural reactor that can adapt to any supernatural energy to fuel spells, enchantments, powers, etc. this reactor provides a steady supply of power that will grow over time, right now you could use high consumption abilities with wild abandon and still not make much of a dent after a few hours.
Can teach others systems even if they previously lacked the capacity.
Manipulate entire systems or combine then with experimentation,
are capable of casting any spell as long as you have the energy not requiring any extra element like a focus or materials. The time required to cast if any remains however.
Essence of the Home
You gain a personal home that exists outside of reality and beyond the reach of most entities. This home is practically impenetrable to any being you do not want inside, even a supreme deity could not pierce the barriers in place on this property.
The home can be of your design or you can let it surprise you by generating itself based on your needs and wants so it fits itself to you perfectly. As your needs change and grow the home will expand with new facilities as needed.
The home takes care of the basic utilities automatically and requires no connection to any preexisting infrastructure to function. In addition it has functionally infinite supplies of whatever mundane food and drink you could desire.
While inside the home you and anyone you bring will not age, have any basic needs, or suffer from illnesses.
You may optionally have the home create servants to tend to it while you are gone, you also may give the home sapience to manage things. The home is utterly and unwaveringly devoted to you. It cannot be influenced to change its mind otherwise.
This home has the capability to travel through the multiverse (Semi-Locked) and can give you passage practically anywhere. It can insert itself into these places or simply open a portal for you to travel through.
Any additional essences will add functionality to this one in the form of additional rooms and facilities depending on what the essence was.
Essence of ROB Insurance
Any of your powers, skills, and abilities can never be drained, reduced, or otherwise limited in any form or fashion unless you will it so.
You have complete control over all of your abilities and can dial the strength of anything you are capable of or turned off completely.
No entity can double cross, betray, force their will, or otherwise try and cheat you in a contract, deal or empowerment like a CYOA. Those that try implode to nothingness or some other punishment you might fancy. Nothing happens if you cheat them, however.
Essence of the Blank
By taking this essence, you gain but one benefit:
Your potential becomes limitless. You can learn any discipline or skillset, even if you shouldn't be capable of it, without forgetting it and practice them into mastery, no matter how many you learn. Any abilities you have from other Essences will increase where possible and develop in ways beyond their initial purposes.
Essence of the Inviolate Self
Inviolability of the body, mind, and soul:
You now no longer need to eat, drink, breathe, produce human waste, or sleep, and are immune to the harmful effects of radiation alongside extreme environments ranging from the bottom of the ocean to the vacuum of space.
Total immunity to all forms of poison, sickness, or disease, mundane or otherwise. Any existing ailments of physical, mental, or spiritual nature that plagues you will be completely cured upon drinking this essence.
You are biologically immortal and utterly tireless, possessing unlimited stamina - you will be be aged/reverted to your physical prime, but no longer age further.
Infinite willpower to keep going through any amount of hardship; even bloody and broken you will not stop, and you will forevermore be protected from the effects of despair, boredom, ennui, etc., that will make living forever a pain in the ass.
Your freedom is also inviolate, protecting you from being imprisoned, incapacitated, trapped, bound, sealed, etc. against your will, automatically freeing you from such situations and teleporting you to the nearest safe location.
You are completely immune to any attempt to forcefully change, control, or manipulate your body, mind, and soul against your will in any fashion no matter what method is attempted or used. Those that use supernaturally boosted persuasion are equally stymied, being forced to rely on simple mundane arguments against you as anything beyond that flatly fails to work. You are also immune to memetic effects or the maddening effects of eldritch beings or phenomena.
Your soul cannot be targeted as a vector of attack - the only thing you are still vulnerable to will be actual physical violence, if such things can cause damage to you.
No Oracles or any other form of precognition can account for you, ever. Any predictions that are made will be made without taking you in account, and if seeking you out directly, all they get is static. In addition, you are not bound by fate anymore; your destiny is only what you make of it. This extends to the point that people and events that are deemed unstoppable or even unkillable, just because they are destined to, can be killed by you permanently.
You are also immune to reality warping shenanigans, such as being caught in time paradoxes, time stops, not existing due to someone killing your mother when she's pregnant with you, etc. - your very existence is inviolate.
Note: You can still be injured or killed through direct physical damage, if such things are capable of damaging you; all this Essence does is preventing your body, mind, and soul from being affected by other forces without your consent
