The god

Before I fully separated from my current body my innate abilities light up and I can sense a pulling sensation that rips something from my previous body and assimilates it into my soul. This will help because my instincts tell me that I can use it to strengthen my new body.

I floated in a dark room for a couple of hours and just focusing on my soul to make sure I have everything from my previous life. Innate abilities? Check. Gained abilities? Check. Entire internet that expanded exponentially after one hundred and fifty years of technological improvements? Check.

When I am sure that everything is in place, I notice a weird creature enter the dark room while trying to hide his presence. It is like the most horrible amalgamation of creepy pastas and creatures that humanity created in one entity. I should know since I have all those images locked in a separate folder just so I don't accidentally open them.

The creature then starts shifting its body mass in different forms before settling on a kindly old man. You know how Dumbledore always looked like a kindly grandfather that just wants to spread his wisdom, but it only works on idiots that cannot see the ulterior motives and hidden cunning in their eyes? Yeah, he looks like that.

When it finishes its shifting, 'he' stops hiding his presence and shows up with a glow behind him.

"Greetings mortal.", he says with an emphasis on mortal as if to remind me that he is above me and my kind. I almost fail to keep a sneer from escaping my lips.

With him out in the open and his entrance, it clicks where I have seen this before. This is supposed to be a recreation of every fan-fiction's scene in the 'void' when you meet a god and they give you wishes. Only I have my innate abilities, which prevent me from being fooled by this charlatans' illusions and misdirects.

"I know you must be confused about where you are right now, but you need not worry. I am not here to hurt you so be at ease.", he says it as if he knew what I was thinking but missed the mark by miles. "I am the god of creation. I have created all the known and unknown multiverse. I watched as you helped mankind advance into a galaxy spanning civilization and died surrounded by those closest to you.", he continues when I do not speak.

"Then you must know I had a very fulfilling life. Why do you bring me here in this place?", I respond, already knowing the answer from my innates and not liking it one bit.

"I have seen your good deeds and decided to reward you.", he pauses almost as if waiting for a round of applause for his incredible acting that would not fool a five-year-old.

"For your good deeds I decided to reward you with five wishes and a free transfer to whatever world you want, fictional or otherwise.", he finishes. My instincts light up to tell me what he didn't want to. These wishes will use the good karma that I have accumulated through out my entire life and, like a professional scammer, he intends to take everything he can whether the wishes are worth it or not.

I use my computer mind to go through the entirety of the internet. Looking for every good ability that was recorded and running possibilities for special wishes. Using my instincts to tell me what would be best, and it tells me I do not want to run out of good karma in front of this 'thing'.

When I have confirmed my wishes and readied countermeasures to prevent him taking too much karma, I speak, "I first request that any abilities and items be in physical form that I can break to gain said ability.". His face contorts into a frown for a brief second before he opens his mouth, "I shall fulfill this request now speak your wishes.". Perfect. I am not about to let some monstrosity mess with my soul just so he can scam me.

"Then my first wish is a version of Magia Erebea that works off the principle of a blank canvas. Spells can be applied and later called upon to take that spell form. No immortality though.", I chose this because I like its versatility.

"Granted.", he says and with a wave of his hand a small portion is taken from my karma. I stop his draining when my instincts tell me to, and I see his eye twitch. A crystal appears in front of me and continue my plan to mess with him.

"My next wish is a magic computer from an advanced magic technology world with all of the information from the world in every field.", this is so going to be useful. If you thought I was going to waste my wishes only on abilities, then you are dead wrong.

"Granted.", with a woosh, and a substantial chunk of karma removed from me, a weird glowing orb the size of the moon appears. "I had to modify and increase the computer to hold all of the information. The civilizations entire knowledge base is in that one computer.", he says in his grandfatherly voice that makes me want to punch him.

"Thank you for that. My next wish would be an adaptable tool that can eat other tools and weapons to take their form. It can also absorb materials to gain new forms and abilities. I want it to have a base form of gauntlets, and please let it be blank so that I can have fun upgrading it on my own.", I have a very fun plan for this.

"Granted.", another wave and in front of me is a blank pair of gauntlets that do not have any notable quality.

"For the fourth with, a power this time. This is a synthesis ability that allows me to combine and separate anything. Also please make it have a low start so I can improve on it by myself.", I requested this because I have used a fourth of my karma already. Most of the karma was spent on the magic computer. I asked for everything else in a base form for growth and preserving as much karma as possible.

"Granted.", *swish* another crystal appears with the ability in it. "Time for your final wish make it count.", he says in a way that makes it look like he is giving advice. The 'thing' is just trying to egg me on so that I use as much of my karma as possible.

"My final wish is the Gate of Babylon filled with every original treasure and with it's ability to replenished used items.", now with this wish my plan can begin. He looks at me with a slight smirk and waves his hand saying his usual line. My karma drains by about five percent of what is left before I cut him off and his smirk vanishes. A golden circle is in front of me with strange runic writing on the outside.

Before he can say anything, I stuff the golden circle in my metaphysical mouth and swallow. My instincts tell me how to create the gate to the store what is in front of me and I do just that.

With a *whoosh* the two crystals, gauntlets, and moon sized magic computer are put in the gate. Since I ate the gate, I gain the abilities of every item I wished for as well as every item in the gate itself and let me tell you, there were a lot of items.

He looks at me funny because the connection he had with the items just up and disappeared. He has never had one of his plans fall apart before, so he does not know how to react.

"You said I could choose any world to go too right?", I ask because my instincts are telling me a world where I will make big gains. "Right.", he says still dumbfounded by the situation he finds himself in. "Then I wish to go to a One-Piece fan-fiction world where the protagonist wishes for a system with world travel.", I say to the god. Got to get world travel somehow so it might as well be from another reincarnated person. The system is just a diversion which he can think I am after.
