the unchained monster

"So are you just gonna be staring down at me all menacingly, because if so?

Have got to say this is not the weirdest lucid nightmare I've had.

Now why it's in a black void got no idea." I said blandly to the creature in front of me with a black hole for a head.

"This is no dream, mortal. This is your purgatory for all the selfless deeds you performed without care for yourself.

You will go to hell like all the others suffering for eternity till your soul finally shatters and reincarnates into multiple different worlds." said the being with a black hole who seemed to act like a ROB

"Huh, so this is one of those days again where I hope for everything to be over so much I have a hallucination of getting a ROB speaking to me.

And sending me to high school dxd right bit weird that your face is just a black hole though.

But eh my mind is weird so not surprising." not at all amused at what was going on having had this happen to me far too much.

"This also isn't one of those fantasies you came up with while you were alive, mortal." said the black hole guy unamused.

"Eh then tell me how is it I died if I'm really am dead.

Because I remember nothing that rings a bell and I know for a fact it wasn't me that did it." I said bored, having heard this song and dance so much in my life.

"You died from getting crushed alive while stocking a shelf at your work after you had done two 18 hour shifts in a row with no rest or proper nutrition.

And so your body gave out on you while you were on a ladder and you attempted to save yourself by grabbing hold of the shelving, causing it to cause your death." said the black hole in what sounded like an amused tone.

"Well shit, I really died because that totally sounds like something that could happen to me with all of my luck in life, for god's sake sometimes.

I would pull all kinds of good shit in life, then I would get fucked over twice as bad, so what's the deal with you talking with me." I said in a shocked voice.

"I require some entertainment. Currently, you desire freedom from the chains which are called your past.

So I shall help us get what we both want, of course, to make sure you don't die too quickly. I'll grant you three abilities for your usage." said the ROB coldly.

"And I'm going to assume I don't have a choice over this, though I guess it doesn't really matter.

Who does it you could use anyone you just happened to find me or something of the sort?" I said blandly.

"Hmm, it would seem you aren't completely clueless now, are you mortal?

Then as a gift ill send you to the world that you desired to go to high school dxd, for now, roll your abilities." the ROB said in an amused tone.

As soon as he said this, three different wheels came into focus in front of me. All different kinds of abilities were on it far too many to count.

Some were from animes, some were just normal powers you would find anywhere. Heck, there was even omnipotence on the wheel.

I reached my hand to the first lever and pulled it after a few moments of it spinning; it landed on casual link.

Then I got a brief explanation of what it could do put in my head.

It was a very simple but powerful ability that could save me from many threats as long as they had minions.

I then reached my hand towards the wheel again, hoping for another good pull.

It spun again until it finally landed on restoration. I was at first disappointed, thinking I merely got a healing spell.

But then the info on it got put into my head.

It had healing applications as I believed, but it did not just heal the living, it could also repair inorganic items to their peak state.

A power which would be destructive in dxd with the many destroyed items of power and sleeping disease patients in the underworld

Now was time for me to pull for my last ability.

All my pulls so far had been extremely good so, far so I could only hope the next one would be just as good and thus I pulled the lever for the last time.

And I couldn't believe my eyes on what I had landed on. It was omniscience.

I didn't need an explanation to understand what it was I had seen so many works so many dreams of having power like this.

But sickness had weakened my body, causing all my talents to go to waste, causing my claws to be dulled, my fangs to be pulled out.

I now had thousands of plans building up in my mind to make me an even stronger threat to make me able to indulge even more on myself.

Until I had everything that could be offered, my mind was already drifting to my absolute victory. Nothing could stop me, for knowledge is the ultimate weapon I had in my life and my soon to be next one.

While I was thinking this a face which I had kept hidden from all in my past life was surfacing.

It was the look of a beast who had found the perfect prey that was prepared to strike at a moment's notice.

It was the look of my broken true self, which was held together merely by my care for my family.

And fear that my indulgence would destroy everything which was being built for us.

"Sorry to interrupt you, mortal, but I still have something to inform you of.

First, you will not be inserted into your previous body for obvious reasons.

And second, you will be reborn as an infant child in Kuoh town while Cleria Belial is the owner of the land of Kuoh and will be born the day that she and her lover die.

Also, one last thing you cannot fully handle omniscience with how you currently are, so first ill give your body access to dark divinity.

The only difference between it and a normal divinity is it's usually formed via impure thoughts or actions, so don't worry about being called an evil god or something of the sort unless you do something worthy of it.

Also ill tell you how omniscience will work for you.

while you can gain knowledge on anything, you will face physical feedback depending on how much you know about the subject.

for example, if you were a highly skilled surgeon and used this power to know the location of a human heart, you will face no feedback.

now if you asked for where the heart of a wolf is at, you will face the feedback of at worst a nosebleed.

And finally, if you asked to know the location for a god's heart well, you would just be dead with nothing else to it." said in a tone of annoyance.

"Okay, so just don't ask questions about things. I would be incapable of knowing of an attempt to know at least a smidge of what I want to do or find out, so are you ready to send me off or what." I said with a smirk on my face.

"Yes, we are, but I just have one more thing to say. You should really get that luck problem of yours checked out because it just messed with you hard right there, mortal." the ROB said in what sounds like an amused tone.

"Wait, don't fucking tell me it fucking happened again," I yelled out in annoyance

"Yes, it did, mortal. See you later. Hopefully not too soon though would be a shame if my entertainment went away so quickly." the ROB said while waving his hand as a white light surrounded me.
