"Do not panic, young one. Now that your soul is no longer hindered by your body you are able to feel all your emotions at full capacity." (???) The voice, sounding both youthful and charismatic, yet full of wisdom and intellect, tries to calm me down.
Shocked that I actually got a reply, I looked towards the source of the voice and what did I see? A fucking monkey, wearing traditional Chinese clothing! With my jaw nearly touching the ground I think to myself 'Did this monkey just talk? Am I in some kind of delusional coma (sleeping) or did I die and reincarnate? Wait! Die? Fuck! I didn't die, did I? The last thing I remember was blacking out again while riding my bike!'
The monkey looks at me with a squint in his eyes while the muscles at the corner of his mouth starts twitching, as if trying to suppress a smile, "That's right Wulin, you did die right after blacking out. Sensing your death was inevitable, one of the newer deities who calls himself Truck-sama used his powers to summon a truck to kill you so that he could gain more karma and bolster his powers."
Speechless at his words, I ask, "So it was Truck-sama who took me out, then why are you here, monkey man? And how did you read my mind just then, you know it's not nice to violate my personal space."
Hearing my comments, the monkey's eyes lit ablaze and his eyebrows scrunch up in anger as he almost screeches out, "I am not just a monkey man! I am The Sun Wukong, The Handsome Monkey King, The Demon King! And I did not violate your personal space, you are just a spirit, it is impossible to keep your mind to yourself, so it is out in the open for anyone to hear!" Sun Wukong then calms down and takes on a slightly embarrassed look as he awkwardly says, "As for why I'm here… Well I may have had some indirect influence on your death…"
"Oh, so you had some influence on my death did you, I can't think of anything that could have influenced my death other than the blacking out. You couldn't have anything to do with that, could you?" (Wulin)
Sun Wukong laughs nervously, "hehehe… It was just some minor mistakes on my part, However I will make it up to you! I will reincarnate you in any world you wish, along with 2 wishes of your choosing. One wish from me and one wish from Truck-sama as thanks for the karma."
"Hmph! As I recall, I blacked out another time before this which lead to traumatic brain injuries and left me unable to use my genius capabilities to the fullest and left me depressed for half my life. Surely, you didn't have anything to do with that, right?" Although I am not very mad at him for killing me as he is still making it up to me through reincarnation, I still need to try and scam him out of every benefit I can get.
Hearing me bring up this event, Wukong's tail straightens out, like a cat's tail when it gets shocked. With a red face he quickly says, "3 wishes then, you can have 3 wishes but no more than that. Otherwise I will just send you off to a random world without anything."
Seeing that I wasn't going to be able to get anything more out of him I switched my train of thought towards my wishes. Luckily, thanks to all my fantasising during school I already had a basis of which world and what wishes I wanted.
"I want to be reborn in the Douluo Dalu world in the same year as Tang San. As for my wishes, the first one will be to have the Violet Jade Immortal Realm of Qing Shui from Ancient Strengthening Technique combined with a Spirit Ascension Platform which will allow me to get real spirit rings.
My second wish will be to have the ability to integrate Spirit Rings and add their years onto my existing Spirit Rings.
For my final wish, I want an observation ability that works on both Spirit Beasts and humans. When observing Spirit Beasts, it will show its name, age, and the Spirit Ability it's Spirit Ring will give me. When observing humans, it will show me their name, Spirit Rank, and their Spirit." (Wulin)
Wukong extends a hand to his chin and rubs the tuft of hair as he takes a contemplative look, "I can give you the third wish easily, however the other two may prove to be a bit difficult. If you want, I can give you a powered down version of both, they will have all the same function's, but they will be on a smaller scale with some restrictions."
I think about it for a second before asking, "Can I know what kind of restrictions it will have?"
"You will only be able to enter your personal realm for 8 hours a day, while you sleep, and it will only take your soul to the realm, so you cannot train your body there. However, you will still be able to use it as an inventory and make real items there. As for anymore, you will have to find them out for yourself. On the plus side, since it is only your soul going into the realm, you will not age while in there." (Wukong)
"Alright then, that shouldn't restrict my growth too much." Although hesitant, I still accept it as it shouldn't make much of a difference on my path to godhood. Seeing that I had accepted, Wukong looked ready to send me off as he said, "Since you accepted, I will reincarnate you in that world now." With a swing of his hand, I can feel a power fill me as I slowly become translucent.
"Thanks, Wukong. Maybe when I get strong enough and enter godhood, I will be able to see you again." (Wulin)
Wukong, hearing my appreciation laughs a little, "It's not a problem, I am just making up for my mistakes. Plus, out of all the humans on Earth, you are one of the ones with genetics closest to my own."
Stunned, I think, 'Did he just insult me? I have genetics close to him? Out of everyone in the world, I am one of the most unevolved humans? What the fuck! What about the Italians, or the Greeks?'. I give him one last death glare as my body finally disappears.
No offense to the Italians and Greeks who read this, but you probably understand, you hairy monkeys. Next chapter I will introduce the only 2 heroins and maybe get to the spirit awakening ceremony, depending on filler or not.
Thanks for reading, be sure to shit talk me in comments if you want.
