Final Fantasy: Crisis and Tranquility

In planet earth at a different timeline. A man that just finished his shift on the hospital clocked out and was pretty pissed.

"Damned hospital man. Why aren't they hiring new staff? Nurses are quitting and dying, doctors have to run everywhere. Even the goddamned ophthalmologist is in the ICU as a critical care doctor." The man grumbled.

He worked 24 hours once again and was on call like a resident slave. Trying to save lives that were being culled by the pandemic.

And it was rough as hell, people didn't believe the pandemic. Anti-maskers ranted off on the streets, saying that their freedom was being infringed. Welcome to America.

The man is frustrated as hell, idiots everywhere were trying to die or something. Natural selection was surely doing its job. Or he might go crazy from all the stupid people that kept on procreating.

He walked up to his pretty nice apartment that had a wooden floor, polished to perfection as he got influenced by his hobby of consuming Japanese animated flicks and manga.

"Hah, home sweet home at last." He put his ID card on the table and took off his shoes, his name that was on the ID read, Wolfgang Schneider.

Wolfgang sat down on his couch and put a warm towel on his face. "That hits the spot... I don't wanna work anymore. If you work, you lose after all." He sighed and had a notification on his phone after connecting to the wifi.

"Ohh? A new episode is coming out? Might as well, this is the way to decompress after all. A nice little slice of life that's cute." Wolfgang opened up his computer and started watching the latest episode of spy x family.

It was a unique anime that had dark undertones even though it is cute. Perfect for a cynical guy like him. There was no need to watch depressing ones after all. When you just want to see a happy family, enjoying their lives.

He was a poor boy that grew up in New York. Scraping by and wanting to rise up, leave poverty behind. He aspired to be a doctor for the money.

And in New York, living in those kinds of places. He surely had a run in with the thugs and the hood. But it was quite different, he saved one of them with his meagre knowledge in trying to study as a doctor.

Stopping the bleeding of one of the higher ups of the Italian Mafia. He didn't want to do anything with them, but alas. It was already too late. So the show was quite refreshing for him.

And they respected him, not because he saved a high profile person. But because he was dangerous as well. Knowledge in anatomy and physiology comes a long way with the right specs.

Wolfgang is a 6'3 man that weighs 220 lbs of pure muscle. He's a unit for sure, and being pretty intelligent as well made the mafia respect him. Though he just worked the couple cleaning operations and being a medic.

But even with his above average body. A human is still a human, he wasn't infallible. With his exhaustion and sleep deprivation. He slipped on the floor and hit his head on the counter.

"F-fuck... I knew it, this floor was gonna kill me someday. I... Blame the Japanese." He cursed them for influencing him to clean the floors squeaky clean. And he forgot to take off his socks, so he slipped quite easily.

After a few minutes, he woke up and gasped. Patting his head, but there was no blood or a bump.

He then saw an old man that was floating in front of him. "Damn, I died huh? Stupid shiny floor. I should've known, forgot to take my socks off too. Maybe buying some with more resistance and slip-free ones would've saved me?" He analyzed his death and the old man laughed at him.

"You're a pretty rude one, ignoring me." The old man teased him and Wolfgang shrugged. "Sorry, I don't know what to say. I just died, isn't it natural to think of ways how to prevent it?"

The old man gave a smile. "Yeah, you're right. You're pretty calm huh?" The old man looked at him with interest and he hugged himself.

"I'm not interested man, besides. I'm straight you know?" Wolfgang eyed him suspiciously and the old man went wide eyed.

"Hahaha! You're amusing! How about it? I'll give you a chance to reincarnate." The old man proposed and he thought about it for a solid minute.

"So I'll get isekai'd? Say less old man... Sorry, but can I know your name? I can't call you old man all the time even though it's true. I have class you see?" Wolfgang gave a smug smile and the old man was quite surprised.

"My name huh? I haven't uttered it to another person in a long time. My name is Genesis, do with it what you will." Genesis shrugged and Wolfgang nodded.

"So... Do I get cheats or something?" Wolfgang got excited and the old man smirked at him. "Shit, I don't like where this is going."

"In one word, yes. But it will be quite limited, you're not exactly a moral paragon. But you did save a lot of lives in your career. Some even did good things and that's a plus for you." Genesis explained.

"Ahhh, don't tell me that one of them invented the cure for cancer or something? Then I would have saved billions of lives through that guy?" Wolfgang had hope but Genesis shook his head.

He clicked his tongue and Genesis deadpanned at him. "You're pretty shameless aren't you? Kind of, but not quite once again. You just offset your sins enought to have one wish. That's it really." Genesis shrugged and Wolfgang thought about it real well.

"I see. Then can I wish for adaptation? Not ridiculous levels like scp 682 or doomsday. I think you can't give me that anyway. You said it's pretty limited." Wolfgang inferred and Genesis clapped.

"Wow, I'm starting to like you even more, kid. You aren't a little greedy fuck." Genesis nodded at him in satisfaction.

"Well, I can't over reach. If this works on how I lived my life, then I want to get everything I can have." Wolfgang said seriously and wanted to live a life where he could control his own destiny.

"Well said. As a bonus, I'll give you a little storage for things. It'll have temporal properties as well, as I know that's the next thing you'll ask." Genesis smiled at him and Wolfgang nodded in appreciation.

"Thanks, old man. That's sweet, anyways. I want to know what adaptation you'll give me. I want it to be general, like it will cover everything. Physical, mental, spiritual, energy, etc." Wolfgang started negotiating and Genesis whistled.

"Wow, you've really thought of this. You're correct, it's general. It covers every aspect of you. Though because of that, it starts slow and will ramp up. But at the endgame, let's just say that you will turn up to be quite interesting." Genesis gave a smirk and Wolfgang was high in spirits.

"Bring it Genesis. Where will I go anyway?" Wolfgang psyched himself up and started making plans based on where he will go.

"Heh, pick a card." Genesis took a deck of cards and spread them on a table that appeared out of nowhere.

"Damn, so it's basically a roulette? Can I make a request? No apocalyptic worlds please?" Wolfgang did the puppy dog eyes and Genesis groaned at him.

"I already took those out, stop looking at me like that. It's damned disgusting seeing a good looking guy who's buff do that." Genesis shooed him away and Wolfgang did a guts pose.

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. I wish I don't get fucked and have lots of hoes." Wolfgang picked a card, seeing the trademark logo of square enix.

"Fuck yeah! Wait a minute, I demand to be born as a man too. If you can't do that, then I want to be dead for real." Wolfgang stared at Genesis seriously.

"I wouldn't do that, but damn. You're too cautious for your own good. Anyways, good luck." Genesis opened up a portal and Wolfgang was about to enter it excitedly. But he remembered one thing.

"Wait a minute, what final fantasy will I be going?" He turned around and asked, but Genesis kicked him into the portal as he screamed.

"Now, that won't be quite interesting if you knew. Would it?" Genesis chuckled and thought that he would achieve great things in his new world.
