Aiden's fingers flew across the keys, his character landing the final headshot. Victory screen lit up all three monitors.
"Easy. Too easy," he said into the mic, leaning back like he hadn't just sweated through a forty–minute match.
Chat blew up instantly.
"bro thinks he's in esports"
"yeah sure, carried by RNG again"
"clip it, clown's acting like he's cracked"
Aiden smirked, lifting his hands like a champion. "That's right, bow before your king. Remember this moment when you're crying Fame BABY!"
Empty cans rattled when he bumped his desk. His stomach growled. He glanced at the time—2:47 a.m. His fridge was already raided earlier.
"Alright, boys, pause the worship. I'm grabbing some cold drinks. Don't miss me too much."
Chat rolled in faster:
"man's gonna touch grass, historic moment"
"pray for the fridge restock"
"IRL side quest unlocked"
He laughed, slipping on his sandals and grabbing his phone. "Y'all are jealous. Watch me come back with treasure."
The street was quiet, neon glow from the corner store promising salvation. He scrolled through chat while walking, still chuckling at their roasting.
Then headlights. Too close. Too fast.
The impact slammed him into darkness. His phone spun away, screen cracked, chat still rolling:
Black closed in. Aiden's voice muttered out of the void, half–grin still in it:
"Seriously? I get taken out before ETA 6 even drops? And even if it does, they'll probably delay it again. What kind of scam respawn is this…"
(Author- You know what i meant there XD)
Silence.
And then—light.
A temple bathed in gold. A woman stood above him, halo bright, her presence pressing down like something out of a cutscene intro.
"Chosen hero," the goddess said, her voice calm and flawless, "you have been summoned to defeat the demon king and—"
Aiden sat up, squinting. "Hold up. Wait. Are we doing the whole 'save the world, oh noble hero' speech? Because I've skipped this cutscene, like, a hundred times already."
The goddess blinked, thrown off her script.
He patted his pockets on instinct—and froze. His phone was there. The cracked screen lit up like nothing had happened.
"…The Fuck?"
The goddess faltered, her lips parting. "You dare interrupt—"
"Oh, I dare. Lady, I literally just got yeeted by a truck because I went out for a soda run. Do you know how dumb that is? My obituary's gonna read: 'Here lies Aiden. Professional gamer. Killed by traffic because he craved sugar? What kind of dumb shit is that?.'"
She blinked, clearly not programmed for this.
"And don't get me started on the timing," Aiden went on, gesturing wildly. "I didn't even get to play ETA 6. They've been teasing that thing since I was in school. And you know what? Even if it released tomorrow, they'd just announce a delay patch note: 'Oops, see you in 2030!'"
The goddess opened her mouth, then shut it again.
Aiden squinted at her, tilting his head. "You're really pretty, though. Like, too pretty. Which makes me think… are you even real? Or am I in some monetized Pay to win dream sequence where I gotta pay for extra dialogue options?"
Her serene expression cracked, the faintest crease in her brow.
"Hero," she tried again, her voice tighter, "you have been chosen above all mortals for your courage—"
"Courage? Lady, I died in slippers. My last words were basically about soda. If that's courage, the bar is real low."
He sighed dramatically, flopping onto the temple floor. "Man. I can't believe I got drafted into a JRPG without consent. Where's the 'skip tutorial' button when you need it?"
The goddess's hand twitched like she was seriously considering smiting him.
The goddess steadied herself, smoothing her robe like she could iron out his nonsense. "Very well, Hero. As is tradition, I shall grant you one wish. Choose wisely, for this blessing will shape your destiny. You may ask for unmatched strength, limitless magic, eternal life—"
"Yeah, yeah," Aiden cut in, waving her off. "Lemme guess: super strength, holy sword, infinite mana pool. The same three starter packs every newbie picks. Boring."
Her eyes narrowed. "These are sacred blessings. Mortals would kill for them."
"And they still die anyway," Aiden said, leaning back on his elbows. "Look, lady, I've played enough games to know how this works. Strength gets outclassed, magic gets nerfed, immortality makes you emo and brooding. Pass."
The goddess tilted her head. "Then what is it you desire?"
Aiden smirked. "Simple. I want the ability to create and use anything from my world. Items, structures, tech — if I can think of it, I can make it real."
For the first time, the goddess's flawless face cracked. "You… what?"
"Yeah. Soda cans, phones, a damn tank if I feel like it. Heck, I might spawn a fast-food chain just to flex. Imagine the demon king's face when I roll up with a double cheeseburger combo."
Her mouth opened, but no sound came. This was clearly not on her divine script.
"You expected me to ask for a shiny sword, didn't you?" Aiden said, grinning. "They won't give me the feeling of home in this boring ass world."
The silence stretched. Even the glowing temple seemed unsure what to do with him.
Finally, the goddess drew in a slow breath, her voice uncertain. "Such a wish is… unusual. Dangerous, even. You could break the balance of this world."
Aiden shrugged. "Balance is overrated. Ever played an online game? There's always that one guy who figures out the busted build. Congratulations — that's me now."
Her hand trembled slightly as divine light gathered at her fingertips. "…So be it. May your absurd wish bind itself to your soul. May you wield it with wisdom—"
"Oh, don't worry. I'll wield it with maximum disrespect."
Light flared, engulfing him. His phone vibrated violently, screen glitching until words scrolled across it like patch notes.
System initializing…
Ability granted: [World Creator].
Note: Try not to break everything.
Aiden sat up, grinning like he just pulled a 5-star on his first roll.
"Hell yeah," he whispered. "Let's Fucking go!!!"
