1 My old bedroom...

Opening my eyes I noticed a familiar ceiling, light blue and white.

"That's strange." I mutter.

Strange last I remember was sitting on the bus and scrolling on my phone. I slowly pull myself up and look around. 'yep definitely my old bedroom. What am I doing here?'

While I was slowly orientating myself I notice a door on the other side of the room slowly opening.

"Oh so you are finally awake that's good we have, a lot to talk about." after hearing that voice I stare at a man that entered, he looks exactly like my father but that is impossible my father died 7 years ago.

"Dad is that you? No that's impossible."

"No young friend I am not your father that is just a way this space chose to present me in your eyes."

I start thinking calmly 'Wait a moment why am I so calm?' I look at the person that is looking back at me and ask "Why am I so calm am I drugged or something wait a minute!?" at that moment I remember this is probably a dream so I look at my hand no only five fingers OK then I grab my others hand and pinch as hard as I can, and...

I didn't feel anything what the hell?

"Don't bother young friend you are just a soul right now you and souls don't feel pain here."

"I am a soul, does that mean I died? I guess that makes sense the last thing I remember was that bus.

So what is going on why am I so calm, what is going on?"

"Don't worry about being calm that is normal this space makes it so we can talk with souls calmly in case we need to. You are right unfortunately for you. You died when the bus collided with another one, but that is not important anymore.

We need to look at the future now."

"Future I still have a future. Aren't I supposed to go to some afterlife or whatever?"

"Well in normal cases, yes but this is a special case. You see I am not a god of the multiverse that you come from I only made a deal with one that governs it well not me but my boss did. You see in the universe that I exist in we have planet earth.

One that governs multiverse took a liking to it, but there are some issues mainly that it needs someone who would make sure that humans don't destroy it while still letting them be human, and keep being entertaining to it."

I look at him incredulously "So what you choose me? Why?"

"Because you are a perfect fit for that role you see we know about your little wish, and it will be fulfilled if you expect the role of a human babysitter. You wouldn't have to do anything special just make sure humans don't destroy themselves or the plant"

"That still doesn't explain why me? Why not someone from your multiverse?"

"Because soul from different one couldn't be influenced by: Devils, Demons, Gods, and others that would seek to influence you, and when we include what your wish brings you are a perfect candidate for this role only downside is that you wouldn't be able to learn sorcery, but you can still learn wizardry so it is fine. So do you accept?"

I have to think for a moment my wish is a character sheet. It is a character that I always wanted to be if I were to get a chance just like this one. It is powerful but not unreasonably so if we look at it in marvel power levels it would be an omega-level character.

After thinking for a while I ask "What's the catch?"

He smiles at me "Well you would be immortal. Truly immortal you will live even when the universe died and is reborn. You will keep living in that new universe there is no afterlife for you because nobody can trap your soul, nor destroy it."

I stay silent for a minute then I look at him and "I accept."
