Wishes...
"Five huh? That's an equal number, well that depends because one of them is automatically on the roulette of which world are you going to actually that means you only have four wishes... Anyway you can now place the wishing balls on this roulettes one by one or at the same time your choice so good luck." He said then return to his paperwork while waitng for me to put the balls of the roulettes which is five appeared in front of me.
Looking at the five spinning roulettes I cannot see which is which because all of it is already spinning too fast so without further ado I dropped one of the five balls on the roulette on my left. I decided I'll start from left to right, the ball was bouncing around the roulette and the roulette is starting to slowing down too and when it slow down I can see is numbers only on it and wow I see many numbers in there in random places.
When the ball finally stop bouncing around and landed on a number the Mr. Grim is still continue working and not stopping, looks like I have put the rest of my wishing balls so he can explains it in one go. If I was on his shoes I will do the same thing too, so I just continue drop my next ball on the second roulette.
Just like the first one it stop on a certain number and the last two balls followed until the rest stop on their own numbers. When when all four balls stop the fifth one doesn't and still spinning and bouncing but Mr. Grim stop and put the paper he was holding and looks like he's going to explain now.
"Okay, now that you put all four wishing balls you have let's see what will you get." He said and started to the first one I put on my left and a hologram screen shows to us which is a simple paper with written on the top [ABILITY SHEET] on it, I didn't have to asked what it means because Mr. Grim is going to explains to me anyway because he's looking at a paper right now. "Wow, you are lucky on this one. This paper can grant you any ability you write on it, base on your memories. But, whatever abilities you're going to write on it will have to be restricted on it base on how many wishing balls you have. Fortunately for you! You have an even numbers so you have five restrictions on this ability, so make sure choose correctly."
After he explain that, I remember all those wishing letters I written when I was a kid back then. And let's not forget the letters I write to Santa Claus every December before Christmas arrive,😅 anyway Mr. Grim continue to the second roulette and just like the first one a hologram screen appeared and it was written [INSTANT LEARNING].
"Well, by the name sake it is already say what is it so. I'm just going to tell you the one extra benefit on this one." He said and I remember this one really well too. It was when I was a 6th grader the lessons of my class was really hard for the younger me, I always wish I can just learn it all everthing the teacher teaching us so then I can just bragging the perfect 100 on every test subject I have to my cousins so I can enjoy their jealous faces when I get rewarded for it. Yeah, I'm really something when I was a kid...even though I feel I like didn't change, oh well that was the past anyway, so to the present! Waiting for this extra benefit on this instant learning which Mr. Grim going to explain it now. "Having this kind of skill or whatever. It needs something to stop your head to 'explode' or having a headache twenty-four seven. One of the higher ups decided to pair it with the photographic memory so you can store/process everything you learn."
(A/N:Like I said I'm an amateur in writing and spelling might be wrong so bare with it! I'm writing in my paper notebook not ipad note pr something then I go to internet cafe to rent and then post. That's how average Filipino like me work.) After that explanation he go to the third roulette and it shows [WOLVERINE'S CUSTOMIZE BODY] I admit I only know a little bit about MCU characters specially x-men. The first x-men movie I watch was Wolverine's story I really regret how I act back then, I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway let just hope there's something good on it because there is a 'customize' on it. "Okay, this one here is different from the original. It's been customize by another higher ups just like the instant learning it also have one benefit too." He explained to me. Now to know what benefit I get from the Wolverine!
"Okay, I'll explained the body first. This body have the same adamantium skeleton, but the difference is that instead of having the original's weight it will defend on the body your going to have when you get reincarnated, reborn or transmigrated etc etc. So not just difference of weight they also make it non magnetic, non conducting for electricity and also the only benefit into it is that it's super durable even high temperature cannot be melted like the original whose only can stand 3000 degrees or more. Also unfortunately because of that the healing factor and high senses of the original Wolverine is not included, it says here the other higher ups complains that will make the reincarnator will be op. So the one who customize this body decided to focus only to the adamantiun skeleton and that's it and oh what do you know it have a minor universal energy on it too. It means that your body can use any energy of what kind of world you'll end up with only at small reserves, it's up to you on how your going to increase it. Now let's go for the last roulette and finish here, there's other souls I have to attend too some of them will taking a lot of time and complain if they didn't get what they want or seems useless to them or kissing up to me and other things just to get what they want."
Jeez I really feel sorry for this guy if he is dealing such a thing every time. But the customize is good enough for me, to bad I can't have Wolverine's healing factor though it will makes me semi immortal only death of old age will get me if I'm being careful and not becomes the government's target because of it. Also being immune to magnetism, electricity and high heat resistance and then there's that universal energy that will let me use any kind of energy even if it's small reserves I will increase it, is good on my book too. Now for the last wish I have I don't wanna stay here long and disturbed Mr. Grim without anything to say we read the next screen.
"Okay, let see what's the last thing you got." The screen appears and show us 'Language Comprehension' I have no idea what's it means let just hope that I can understand every known civilized language because when I was fifteen my aunts, grandma, and mother was always talking about me that I should work abroad because it was higher pay or I live with my aunt on japan for work and so I can accompany my aunt and because she only live by herself in case something happen to her I will be there. But I have to learn Japanese and I'm just an average teen back then and also like other teens lazy and only want to have fun, anyway I look at Mr. Grim and waited for his explanation because I don't care and I'm happy on what I got anyway with this wishes I will live the best way I could!
"Language comprehension is a base skill granted to all those who got summoned. It gives the user the ability to understand any language and be proficient in it. Also this one have a benefit too, because with the instant learning this should be with it too. But it's already been created so the higher up who designed this one is a little...hmm BROB-ish (Bastard Random Omnipotent Being) in exchange for a benefit it have, you will have to pay for it." He said seriously this time because he is now focusing on me instead on the papers he's working on. This must be an important decision that I have to choose and also I have to pay? By what? I'm dead what I have to pay for? And BROB-ish? This is serious if the one make this create this language comprehension is a BROB or soon to be? I'm f*cked I need to listen carefully to Mr. Grim closely he will explained to me anyway. "You may wondering what payment your going to pay are you. The higher up who made this wish decided for payment is your memories of your family, love ones, friends-"
"I agree to this payment." I said with a straight face to the reaper who blinking at me because I hastily answered before he finish what's he's talking about. I'm going to have a new life anyway so I don't want something or someone to make me remember them , let just say I don't reallt want to remember them. After he realized what he heard he shook his head and recompose himself he look at me and continue from where I interrupt him for.
"As I was saying the payment is your memories of your family and friends. Because the higher up thought that the most important thing for a reincarnator is their family and the people they cherish the most. But they realize that there are people who are willingly to lost these memories, so the othe higher ups they make a bet for how many reincarnator willingly to pay in a year. The winners will win favours or whatever they wages on to the losers. Anyway I don't care so the benefit for this one is an item." He explained and got back on the papers and I can't believe the higher ups is betting for this kind of thing....ha! Like I care to that! So the benefit of this wish is an item huh? I need to ask something first.
"Um, Mr. Grim this item I'm going to get is it random or I can choose?" I asked.
"No, you already have the ability sheet that makes you write what kind of ability you want so be warn you can only write one ability on it. Also it's written here you only get an item not a weapon although armor is also as an item for but only common to rare only. So, please make a wish." He said. So I drop the ball into the roulette again and watch it until it's stop on a slot and showed on the screen 'Bag of Infinite Storage (note: can be customize) can be customize huh? A holo screen with a keyboard and on the screen the name of the item and a blank description. I look at the reaper who's focus on his work so I guess I make this fast, but he didn't say I can't make it into a weapon.
First: I want it to stored living and non living thing and put them on stasis so I can have always have fresh meal, materials and people I stored on it. Specially people if I end up to a world where you can be a bounty hunter if someone wants my target alive? I just stuff then in the bag.
Second: It can changes into any shapes and sizes I desired. For example it can change to Charm Caster's bag from ben10 or into a purse from that old lady from Madagascar movie where Alex gets beat up on the train station. Anyway the weights can change from 0.5 kg to 5 million kg that should do it.
Third: Indestructible so that I will never worry about it being destroyed by anything or anyone. Also it can't be stolen, pickpocketed, unstealable or incase if it's been stolen it will returned to me just like Thor's hammer Mjölnir or Stormbreaker I like this more. It has axe side for cutting and the other for smashing, I SMASH!
Fourth: It will have Gamer like inventory function. Where it will have an inventory screen to look at can create tabs for easy sorting purposes, can stock the same items in 1000 limit. Then lastly I can access it through using the bag the normal way or the screen just like the Gamer's. Oh! Almost forgot the important thing...screen expansion! It will be my instant shield, how about 30x30 meters? That's acceptable, right?
Okay, while I'm finish here maybe I should get that Ability Sheet finished. I look at Mr. Grim and he seems focus on his and as if he knows my intention he signaled to go ahead without looking. So with that I carry on and the same screen appeared just like the Bag of Infinite Storage only blank, I have to think this through. I got only one chance and I can't waste it for something stupidly idiotic or the same like the Sharingan, infinite mana reserves, etc etc. Think! Brain! Think! What's the most slightly op or at the same time useful ability humanity can have! Without being rejected by the higher ups and Mr. Grim.
