2 My Goldfinger

His words were clear and concise, his speech articulate. But I was able to "see" ROB floating in front of my face, above this man's head.

That, in itself, brought too many questions, which ROB, promptly answered, at the end of which, I got my options and choices.

"So it all comes down to this. After humans got immersed in their entertainment sources beyond folklores and legends, we allowed humans to travel to these multiverse, with certain concessions."

I interrupted his explanation, "Why make these concessions, in the first place, and why allow us to travel to these worlds?

My ROB was a patient man, and kindly replied with a smile. "Well, beyond its obvious benefit to entertain the immortal beings who enjoy stories with a twist, it allows us to salvage worlds, where the world is on its way to a 'bad ending' scenario. If in worlds, where the bad guys win, or cause total annihilation of the reality, we decide to send out a reincarnated soul as adjutant and emissary. After that we wash our hands off of that reality, irrespective of its conclusion."

I was excited.

"Then all worlds of fictions exist somewhere?" He nodded.

"Yes. It would mean, every permutation and combination of those worlds exist too. So those crossover worlds exist as well."

Cool. This could be fun.

"And can I ask for specific concessions, or is it totally random?"

"You may decide and request, but I cannot concede beyond reason. Asking for infinite growth rate, gamer systems, god's bloodline, Reality warping powers or anything of that sort would not be possible."

I thought about it. I cannot ask for systems, and I cannot ask for stupidly OP powers.

I could only think of the last thing that came to my mind.

"For starters, can I ask to be allowed to travel to other worlds and multiverse?"

He thought about it for a minute.

"Yes, it is possible. But we cannot have you jumping worlds at whim, or it will upset the balance of reality. But if you can agree to complete certain 'missions' or objectives, then you can be allowed to travel the worlds in a manner you agree with. And as you complete each mission you can ask for more boons, since we would know, if you would be responsible and reliable enough to be entrusted with more power."

That is awesome! It is more than I can ask for. But I remember, that I come from a humble background. I have no martial training, nor military strategy and experience. If I must fight in any of the worlds, then I am at a severe disadvantage. I am an engineer, or rather I was one! Fighting was not a skill I am familiar with. I never even had Karate lessons as a kid, and as I was six feet tall, by the time I was old enough to face bullying, I never saw a need to take self defence classes.

But, now I need to fight, and may not have time to brush up on the basics.

"I want to integrate with the memories, instincts, abilities and experiences of Agent 47, along with all his physical abilities. I want the ability to read, write and understand every language in the multiverse, including fantasy languages like elven, orcish, dwarven, Eldar, Sindarian, and even Parseltongue or Dovahspeak, and even non-verbal languages like Sign language, and psionic communication. I also want a large enough Hammerspace, as you can provide, and a set of Infinite Ammo weapons, of Agent 47's preference."

I saw ROB raise an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Your request is not as abusive of the limitations, as I assumed you would ask for. Most people, in your place, ask for infinite mana, infinite potential, access to speed or strength force, and some even asked to be a Jinchuriki to Godzilla, of all stupid things. If you tell me, the reason behind your choices, I can grant your requests, and an additional boon from me personally."

I took a breath, and answered.

"I lack any experience with combat. And all powers I truly desire, can be obtained when I visit those worlds. But having a strong background with fighting and killing can give me an edge in the start. And Agent 47's instincts and abilities can give me an edge in any reality I go to."

ROB looked at me in contemplation. "And your infinite ammo weapons can give you reliable ability to fight, and even where monsters are immune to bullets, these weapons can fire enchanted ammunitions. And languages can be useful in many ways. Smart! Very well. You can have a boon from me. Which world would you like to visit first?"

"I am not sure. Why don't you choose one for me? I am biased between Naruto, DxD, Marvel, DC, HP, LOTR and Skyrim."
