After thinking for a while, the endless dark swirling like ink around his consciousness, Akasha spoke to the spirit, his voice thrumming with a sudden, electric surge. "Since I'm pretty sure you can make me into anything, how about you make me into the most divine dragon you can think of!!!!" He spoke with unusual enthusiasm that crackled through the void like wildfire, as he internally thought
'Seriously, who wouldn't want to be a Dragon?! And since I will be in an ultimate fantasy realm, I'm sure I would be able to take on a humanoid type of form.'
[Ah there's something I forgot to mention....] The spirit spoke, her tone laced with a hesitant shimmer as she was trying to process Akasha's choice, the words hanging like suspended stardust.
"Well, here comes the bullsh-" Akasha was beginning to speak, his sarcasm sharpening like a blade, before the spirit rudely interrupted him, her voice cutting through the dark with velvet authority.
[Shh let me finish first, Akasha, your mother is such an unfathomable existence that no one has ever seen her true form, nor can anyone comprehend just a fraction of what she truly is, her essence woven into the very fabric of all that is and ever will be. Meaning there's no way possible for me to even interfere with what a direct offspring of her very being would look like...] The spirit spoke a bit cryptically, her words dripping with ancient weight, perhaps even saying a bit too much, the revelation pulsing like a hidden heartbeat.
"Oh well that's a relief, I guess." Akasha said as he was totally done with all this nonsense, the exhaustion settling over him like a heavy, cosmic fog.
*Silence*
[...], the pause stretching taut like a drawn bowstring.
"Well, what about being a Dragon?" he asked finally, his curiosity flickering back to life like embers in the void.
[Oh, a Dragon? That's no problem!!!]
*Silence*
'Fuck it, honestly you should've just started with that and skipped the cryptic nonsense.' He thought before hearing the spirit's voice once again, its seductive cadence curling around his awareness.
[You didn't mention your age.... and also, we still have your three wishes.]
"Just make me 21 years old again, no need for all the growing up bullshit again, and what can I really wish for exactly? Are there any sort of restrictions?" Akasha spoke as he was ready to be done with all this already, the impatience coiling tight in his core.
~Fufufu~ 'Let's see how you keep up this nonchalant act now Akasha' The spirit thought before dropping an utter bombshell on Akasha, her inner glee a sparkling undercurrent.
[Well, you can wish for.... anything.] The spirit said nonchalantly as if mocking Akasha, the words landing with the weight of infinite galaxies.
'~Fufufu~', the chuckle rippling unseen.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!!!" Akasha yelled perhaps the loudest he has yet, his voice shattering the silence like thunder in the abyss.
[Exactly what I said, Akasha, you can wish for anything. So, use your imagination well. And restrictions? well, it all depends on your wish and mostly your power level.], the freedom offered like an endless horizon.
'HAHAHAAA TRULY MY DIVINE LUCK!!!' Akasha was literally on cloud nine right now, euphoria flooding his essence like liquid starlight. 'If I could wish for anything then this life will be truly divine!!!' He could picture himself now looking down on all existence in the most luxuri- wait!!!'
Akasha suddenly stops his daydreaming as if he had a sudden epiphany, the vision fracturing like glass.
"This is really important." He suddenly spoke in a weirdly serious tone that cut through the dark like a solemn vow. 'If this is true then I am basically selecting the building blocks of my future life, every choice will be an important cornerstone.'
'How should I live my life?' he internally asked himself, the question echoing deep. He thought about the previous 21 years of his 'life' and thought about all the loneliness he experienced, the cold nights and hollow echoes a scar on his soul.
'A family built upon pure power and love... sounds quite lovely.' He thought to himself, the longing blooming warm and fierce.
After some thinking and reminiscing, memories flickering like faded photographs in the void, he finally made his decision, resolve hardening like forged steel.
"Since you're not a system, I want my first wish to be a system!" He spoke excitedly, the words bursting forth before continuing "The thing is though; I only want this system to track my progress. Oh, and add in some Gacha along with some family features."
[Done! But what do you mean f-family?] The spirit spoke slightly worried, her voice trembling with a subtle edge hearing him bring up family while internally thinking of a certain someone, the implications rippling outward.
"Well, I have read countless novels during my 'life', their pages a lifeline in the dark, and I personally think living forever and being strong alone is utter bullshit. Like c'mon who would want to stand at the peak of all peaks all alone? Well, not me! I have had enough of loneliness! I plan to create the most glorious family of all!!!" He spoke domineeringly as if he really meant his words, the declaration thundering with unyielding conviction.
"The system should incorporate a way for my future wives and offsprings to grow stronger alongside myself, bonds forged in power and unbreakable loyalty."
[Understood, now what's your next wish?]
'Now let's begin with the real fun.' He thought as he spoke, he next two wishes back-to-back.
"Secondly, I want a personal realm where I have complete authority, this realm should also be connected to the systems' evolution. In other words, I want my realm to upgrade alongside my system. My realm should have purer energy than the outside and should be completely safe from outside intrusions. The inhabitants should be able to undergo evolutions whenever the realm evolves also, ascending in harmony."
[Do-] The spirit was about to speak, her voice catching, when Akasha instead kept talking, the words tumbling in a rush.
"And my last wish I want infinite energy!!!!", the demand blazing like a supernova.
[~Fufufu look at you so enthusiastic~] The spirit spoke once again a strangely seductive voice, the tone slithering warm and teasing through the cosmos.
[Consider it done! Now it's finally time!] Speaking again as she was watching the final crack appear on the glorious egg, the fracture spiderwebbing with radiant finality!
'Fina--- wait I CAN FINALLY SE---' Akasha thought before he was absolutely stunned, light exploding into his senses like the birth of a universe.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!!!!"
