The next thing that I knew I was infront of an elderly man, drinking a golden liquid with a smile on his face as he stared at me.
I kept on staring for what felt like ages, my mind a bit disoriented before sighing and giving in as I sat just infront of him.
' Intuition, who the fuck is this guy?' I asked my ability almost instinctively.
[—A Random Omnipotent Being.]
Hearing that I froze, dazed at what I just heard.
I didn't even ask how it had know that, I had been through thick and thin with my ability to distrust it now.
" So? You're some kind of God or something?" I fished out, I wanted information first and I also wanted to get a good grasp of what was happening.
" Ah please, those fools calling themselves gods are a mere speck to my power." The being said with a chuckle before sipping from its cup.
" But if you can actually guess what I am then I might grant you an extra boon just for the entertainment." It said with a grin before continuing before I could speak." But I'll only allow you one last guess."
To that I frowned.
I had an inkling on what was happening and if it was true then it was even more insane than I thought my ability was at first.
" I see...." I drawled on before staring at him, then at my surroundings which was pure black just selling the picture that I was putting the pieces together.
" You wouldn't be a fucking Random Omnipotent Being, would you?" I asked putting as much of a monotone voice as I could.
And to my surprise, he was surprised as just as he was about to take a sip of his cup he paused, eyes widening before a grin followed.
" Well this a surprise, nobody has actually ever come to that conclusion before." The thing said grinning." Most of the time they just guess something as mundane as an eldritch god just because I said that I was stronger than the gods."
I could see how they would make that assumption, not everyone put themselves into the rabbit hole that was fanfiction deep enough to find the mentions of a R.O.B afterall.
" Well, a deal is a deal." He said grinning." I'll grant you an extra boon."
" That's all good and well but what exactly are these boons meant for exactly?" I asked trying to play as dense as possible.
I had already made a conclusion that this thing didn't know the existence of my ability yet, or hadn't tried looking but for now it seemed that it didn't know so I'd play that to my advantage.
" To better get you started on your adventures my boy." It said staring at me.
But just before I could answer, my intuitive interface flashed again.
[—Drinking the golden liquid on the table will increase your soul strength and affinity for worldly energies.]
I paused.
That was some information I didn't think I'd get, I hadn't gotten these sort of interfaces afterall.
But went with it.
" What do you mean by 'adventures'?" I asked before looking at the teacup and then at the second cup which was probably meant for me.
' Intuition, would the R.O.B infront of me mind if I drink some of his...whatever that shit is?'
[—Chances of the Random Omnipotent Being being upset are null, this is an opportunity set up by it for those willing to take a risk.]
' What risk?'
[—The liquid has a chance of killing all who drink it.]
' Then why in this random ass omnipotent being would I drink that shit willingly?!'
[—Because your soul is highly receptive to it and chances of your survival are 96%.]
' I don't like that leftover 4%...but fuck it.'
So with that thought I grabbed the teacup slowly and poured myself a cupful, then brought it to my lips taking a big gulp of the liquid.
It tasted like mind with a hint vanilla?
I also didn't miss the smile that graced the being's face as I took my sip only to fall into a scowl.
' Fucker wanted me to die!'
[—Chances of R.O.B hoping for your instant colourful combustion is 80%]
' Wait, I would have combusted?!'
He felt like groaning at that but simply took another sip while looking at the being." Good tea."
I only said it was tea because it tasted like tea, so to my mind it was tea, not suspicious at all.
" A one of a kind blend." He commented before speaking once more." I'll be blunt then, I'm gonna throw you into a random world in the multiverse."
" Huh? Why?" I asked, more out of curiosity than anything else.
" I don't expect you to understand but I have a concept or law I'm trying to master called the Law of Reincanation." He started with a more thoughtful expression." To master it I have to observe the first moments of reincanation which I'll out you through and learn from it, from then on you're on your own with whatever you obtain."
" Ahhh...."
' Intuition?'
[—The being is truthful.]
" I see, then when do we get started?" I wanted out if this place as soon as possible, the further away I am the better I'll feel.
Plus the allure of getting a second chance at life called to me.
" Impatient much?" He asked with a bemused smile.
" I just don't like stretching things out, you know?" He said with a shrug and that was a half-truth too but now it was just to get the fuck away from something that wanted to watch him combust.
"Fine then." He said before a roulette appeared just besides me.
I stared at it and scowled all the while I was downing my third cup of the tea.
I had an opportunity to strengthen myself, even if I didn't know what use it would be, so I'd abuse it as much as possible.
So putting the cup down I walked up to the roulette and found it littered with worlds I knew from anime, shows, movies, cartoons and novels, heck I saw a fucking fanfiction I had read just after being kidnapped being on the damn thing.
" Fanfiction? Really?" I asked the being, making sure to look as fucking deflated as possible which wasn't really hard as I actually was.
" All entertainment you endulged in, it's there but I out some worlds that you didn't know there too, for fun of course." It said, a fucking smug smile on its face.
Sighing to myself I grabbed the roulette and thought to my ability.
' Is there anyway you can help me out here, to make sure I don't screw myself over?'
[—Negative. The roulette is rigged and will land on an already decided world.]
Immediately I felt like grabbing the teacup on the table and breaking it on that old fuckers head but stilled myself.
' Ah whatever, it's still a fucking second chance....' So with that thought I half-assedly spun the wheel.
And moments later, it finally landed on a world which only left me baffled.
