Stone of 3 Wishes

In the void of nothingness, where the flow of time doesn't exist, darkness filled as far as the eye can see. The place was neither Heaven nor Hell, but an empty expanse of nothingness. The void seemed to stretch on infinitely, and not a single living organism could be seen. It was as if the law of Life and Death did not exist here.

Yet, in the middle of a barren land, a silhouette could be faintly seen hovering there. In front of him was a flashing golden card.

He slowly extended his hand, unsure if the card was safe or dangerous. In the end, his curiosity got the better of him, and he reached out to grab the floating golden card.

My heart pounded like crazy, so loud I could hear it in my ears, as if it wanted to leap out of my chest.

The golden card slowly dimmed as I held it in my hands

[An unsightly greed for a second chance that has yet to be found in history]

[The Stone of 3 Wishes, having sensed such strong Greed has been unsealed]

[Write your 3 wishes onto the Golden Card. The Stone of 3 Wishes has the right to veto your wishes. Choose wisely.]

'Aren't I dead? What use would the 3 wishes have for me now? I was already given 3 wishes by some god when I first reincarnated into Nano Machine. Will the 3 wishes now make any difference?'

Doubt rose in my chest, but I brushed it aside. What's the worst that could happen? At most, I'll just die the third time. It was not the time to be concerned with negative thoughts.

A/N: MC died once then reincarnated into Nano Machine. Then he was killed by Bu Chu-Ryong, hence the second death. If he dies the next time, it would be the third.

[Gift] - you will return to when you first reincarnated 15 years ago.

[First Wish] - ???

[Second Wish] - ???

[Third Wish] - ???

Suddenly, another golden light flashed in front of me. The golden light concentrated in one spot and shaped itself into a quill.

A/N: Basically a feather pen.

Grabbing the floating pen from the air, I immediately started writing my first wish.

After a few minutes of scribbling later, the blank ink on the golden card slowly set and turned into a beautiful gold colour. I assumed that meant that my wish was accepted.

[First Wish] - a set of weapon and armour on par with the Heavenly Demon Sword and the armour Nano Machine provides

In my previous life, I foolishly believed my father's words as to how he could not afford cold steel gear for me when even the children of some Elders in the sect had them.

I had to scrimp and save, cutting down my already meagre cultivation resources that the elders secretly syphoned off to give their kids. That incident caused me to delay my cultivation greatly.

Sighing at my foolishness, I went back to writing my second wish.

[Second Wish] - Born with a variant Source of Power

In the original, Cheon Yeon Woo only got his sources of power from the 5 Spirit Beasts and Wang Yongun half way into the story. Having a source of power early would give me an advantage over him and everyone else.

'In this life, I'll be the strongest. I won't be a dog for anyone else anymore.'

As for my final wish, since Cheon Yeon Woo has the Heavenly Demon Sword Art and the Extreme Art of the Blade God, I wished for a sword art stronger or on par with that.

Once the last letter turned into gold, I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thankfully, none of my wishes were rejected.

[Generating Wishes]

The light exploded one last time and an Amethyst-Diamond card waited before me.

With shaking hands, I grasped the card.

I blinked.

For a moment, I thought I misread something.

So, once again, I slowly read the last sentence written on the bottom.

Create your own sword and armour!

It really said that. Right there, in all gold.I could literally create an Imperial Arm as long as I have the blueprint for it. I wouldn't even need to be afraid of Cheon Yeon Woo's items then.

I blankly stared at the card and quickly clicked on the glowing emerald 'accept' button beside it.

Immediately, the world inverted and I lost my consciousness again.

Important note:

The wishes for his second life has to be within the limits of nano machine meaning none of that meliodas full counter bs or Hollow Purple from Gojo.
