Bright, a white light that's what greeted me when I died. I was greeted with vast expanse and vague shapes around me. They were fairly people shaped, but not complete. They werenfased and torn, and overall looked like they had been mangled. They were all over not just on ny plane but three dimentionally it was mind boggling how many there were. Just then I see a familiar place, kind of far away. I start making my way over, and he sees me and does the same.
"Weilong is that you?"
"Yeah buddy, what the heck is going on?"
"Your guess is as good as mine. Are we ghosts? It's a weird coincidence that we both died if so. We were messing around in Starsew Valley last I remember."
"Same, weird freak accident involving discord?"
That eatned a laugh. "Well then I guess everyone here was using discord at the time? I mean the numbers check out."
He was about to respond when a bright light just flashes in my vision and a being was just there seemingle right infront kf everyone. Like he had multiple bodies, but also a geeling of just one. It was a strange sensation. A voice seemed to resoind in my head, well judging from other reactions maybe all of our heads.
"Welcome, hold you questions I"ll answer them all individually in a bit. Let me address all of you first. You all have my sincerest apologies, two beings such as myself saw themselves as gods, and well the details aren't important but their actions caused the destruction of your world. Normally it wouldn't be too big an issue, a little bit of time and space manipulation a few billion ressurections and easy peasy like nothing happened. Unfortunately your souls were damaged. So, we have to do things different. Your souls need to be fixed, and that takes actual living to do. I talked multiple beings such as I, which if youre curious I classify us as multiversal creators and caretakers, and they have agreed to host your reincarnation. These places are places you deeply desire to go. They may be in the past, the future, different universes, different realities. I've matched your soul desires with a destination that a caretaker has agreed to your reincarnation. The best part the two fools needs some punishment so, we're using their power to grant you all some wishes, of course there are cavests. Depending on where you will end up the caretaker over that multiverse has set up hard limits, I won't bother explaining them unless you touch upon it. Now time for me to speak to you individually or by group, you'll notice I'm already in front of you!"
"Hello you two, seems like you're great friends if your souls found each other in this mess. So let's begin shall we? Who wants to start with their wishes?"
"Me!" I hear Weilong shout, he is overtly excited. "Where am I going?"
"The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or well as infinitesimally close as possible to it. We'll work around your wishes to find a reality that it is possible, but the major players, events and timeline should be the same until you start messing with it."
"I want access to all magic and the most supreme martial arts and to be able to cultivate both to spremacy! Also I want to reincarnate with this guy!" He says excitedly while pointing to me.
"Well One Above All has stated you won't be able get to his level with a wish like that, but you should be able to eventually reign supreme unless you do something to earn his ire as your soul yearns. The all magic part is also tricky, one OAA doesn't want you messing with time and reality because he says that he has enough headaches with everyone else messing with everything. If you mess with it too bad he will send the Living Tribunal or he himself will intervene. Two, all magic is tricky you will be able to access it eventually, but at the start I can arrange for you to be able to learn all magic and have access to witchcraft and magic of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. Third that has complications I'll tether your souls, but you'll have to give up some memories, how about all thag happens here? Otherwise it will damage your soul even more. Also he'll have to agree."
"That sounds great!" He looks at me expectantly.
"Well with that kind of enthusiasm who am I to disagree with my best friend?"
"Are you sure? You'll be giving up your own dream. You actually have a choice of many of the cozy games you loved. Stardew Valley, Coral Island, Story of Seasons worlds, any of the Atelier worlds, or Rune Factory worlds. I actually admire it as it is so unusual, especially as all you want is a comforyable life with a loving family and to perfect your craft. You would be very happy I'm sure of it."
"A life of action and adventure with my best friends and hopefully some awesome new friends sounds great as well. Besides I can still find something I interested in and perfect it right? Can I actually have the talent to be able to pickup skills and eventually get it to ots peak? That should cover a lot of what I wanted to do. I'm goojng to need something to survive Marvel and make sure everyone close to me does too.. Hmm .. How about Elixir? Yeah let me get his powers."
"The first done easy, but the second can I make a suggestion? We're trying to milk the two troublemakers more of their power so they learn their lesson. So take that wish up some."
"Huh and here I thought you would want to restrict it or something. Okay le tme be Elixir and can I get hid powers at the his comic peak as I know it? Without the sideffects permanently never have to worry about psychosis from overuse. Also the knowledge transfer from Beast can you make it all knowledge from all versions of him and Henry Mccoy instead of just his genetic and biological expertise?"
"Haha you really went for broke there good that should take a considerable amount of their power just like your friend's wish. However Elixir .. You do know there a lot of complicated things with this chief among them is that knowledge is burdensome... I'll have to lock a lot of your memories and just integrate all that knowledge in with it. Or else it will destroy your soul. You should get them when you get activate your x gene, that should give your soul enough time to heal to procoess it all. You also forgot your whole family and friends part of your desires, so I'll through in some luck in meering good people for you so your journey as Joshua Foley isn't so bad. Good luck to you both I hope you get fullfill your soul's desires."
Thats the last of that memory, aside from me thinking that I dumbly worded it wrong the second time. I wanted Elixir's powers not his life... Well I did meet great people because of it. So this means I have Doctor Henry McCoy's knowledge now right? I start thinking about it and holy there's so much. Philosophy, engineering, biology, genetics, chemistry, so many subjects and many PhDs. I may have understimated how prodigious the man was. He loved to learn about everything, and different versions of him chose different paths although most Beasts took up genetics. Best part it comes naturally if I need it it's just there. My for my biokinrsis is going to be very interesting. I start to fall asleep as I thought about Dark Beast and his work on Infinites.
