1 MEETING R.O.B AND 5 WISHES
-(Ren's POV)-
.
.
.
Ren: "I guess this is what dying feels like....No need to emotional now because it would not bring me back to life anyway."
My name is Ren and i died at the age of 17. Even though it's a short problematic life but i lived like there's no tomorrow. Being Otaku, watching animes and 'cultured' ones too, reading Manga, novels, fanfictions as much as i could.
I ain't evil person as I'd put an effort and done my very best as a good son my family, to my friends, to everyone whom i cherished if i say so myself. I ain't the kindest person either as i never go down without a fight and i never let them take advantage of me...but sometimes i take advantages of them like taking money off from their wallets, blackmails(i call it lessons) for them to stop for their borderline criminal actions and be silent, and a few beatings for them to take. But I'd never done nor cross the line of anything sexual, discriminatory, killing or any lower than those because i never want to be like them.
Do i regret my actions of taking advantage back then? NO!!! THEY DESERVE MUCH WORSE but i let them go with many 'lessons' for them, a beatings and an empty wallets. Now that i think of it, did i become a hero and i get paid to do it too?! I say WORTH IT!!!
*HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH (villainous laugh)*
*cough* *cough* *cough* *ehem*
Stopping my laughs and clearing my throat as i begun to reminisce of my death. Just like any classic troupe you can found in novels. In the middle of the night after finishing watching a movie, i am walking in front of pedestrian when a truck suddenly increase the speed planning to road kill the child holding a balloon in front of me but i died instead of the kid by pushing the excited child back to their parents causing me to meet the truck's front and be crush by its tires, my whole body begun to feel the pain but i used every will to not scream wanting to lessen the trauma of the child and her family.
Yup, not a happy and wonderful view for the kid and its parents(i hope they can overcome this trauma). The last thing i remember is the whole family crying but the parents closed their child's eyes and ears with their hands with the parents thanking me loudly for saving their child in their hopes of me hearing them, which i smile back at them to show i can hear them. They probably know i won't last any longer but they still called the ambulance hoping to save me but i just closed my eyes and exhaled as i leave my dead body.
*sign* *shaking my head*
Ren: "I guess that's my Karma for what i did to those bad people who done me wrong, died at young age, an excruciating pain and i never got to finish some of the animes too, but i'm happy that i saved someone, I'm still a hero HAHAHAHAHA!!....Where the hell am i?! This place needs lights.....F.u.c.k. it! Since i'm dead i have time. I need to know where i am then place my bets if i will be in heaven or hell."
I died and am not feeling anything, just floating or what is seems like it. I begun to check for my surroundings and nothing can be seen, no land to step on nor to rest and not even light for me to see but i still continued to look to gather my thoughts. After spending a lot of time thinking, i call that this place as the afterlife, a void-like place surrounded by darkness and no signs of life is present.
Ren: "This is what afterlife looks like?.....looks horrible and by just looking at it will be boring to stay for a long time and i don't like that. i need find someone or something that will help me escape this place."
I begun to shout loudly in hopes that a shout with another voice respond back to me and touch anything. Seconds turned Hours. Hours turned Days. I kept doing he same thing again and again but no matter what i do, nothing there's nothing to touch like nothing at all and no one responding too making me hopeless.
*RUMBLING* *BOOOM* *SHATTER OF GLASS*
Suddenly, sounds and sights of glass shattering and exploding appears in the air coming with rumblings as strong as earthquakes to my ground. I followed my instincts and runaway from the calamity happening on my back and closing my ears. The Calamity continues until a minute passes by. After the calamity, i began to realize that because of the boredom and loneliness i feel, i forgot that i am dead and followed my instinct to stay alive.
*sign* *Shaking my head*
Ren: "After all this time, i still want to live and have a happy life."
I begun to smile upon the realization and i look up to see the lights surrounding the shattered Abyss or what's left of where im in. I checked myself to see if there's any fatal injuries, bleeding, side effects happening to me by the calamity. after a minute of check-up, I'm fine and sign of reliefs escape from my mouth and begun to pick Two 12-inch abyss glass-like shards in front of me and walk hoping to get out of this abyss.

-(3rd POV)-

.
.
Ren continues to walk to the light holding a shattered glass like-abbys, which surprisingly doesn't hurt at all, thinking about the cause of the strange calamity and finding clues and hoping to escape this place.
This place now have series of different lights that you can see in fantasies only, those lights that came from who knows what and who knows where and the abyss like place where Ren was, is now left with the dark ground to walk and are now with shattered glass. Ren stopped walking as he looks above to see an another event happens.
*Flashes of Glittering Lights Approaching*
Ren look up to see a series of lights glittering getting brighter or more like they're approaching him. He doesn't know what's happening right now or about to happen but Ren had a good feeling about those lights and therefore he just stood still with those 2 long shattered Dark glass shards is still in his hands and waiting for the lights to settle.
*Lights brightens becomes blinding to the eyes*
*Covering eyes with his forearms*
???: "Hello there Mortal Child"
Ren uncovers his eyes and looked surprise to see that the light is now replaced by a giantic man that has a face that cannot be seen because lights are covering his head with multiple voices that bewildered Ren to question about it's origin/s.
Ren should be terrified because of the sudden giant man appearance and its intimidating height that reaches up to 10-story buildings but for some reason he isn't feeling any danger and that Ren feels a great fuzzy, warmth and gentleness coming from the giant. Nevertheless, Ren still keep his guard up and kept silence and wait for this giant to speak again as he is being cautious around giant man in front of him.
Giant with many voices smiles: "I can read your thoughts mortal and i understand them all. After all, not everyday you get to meet THE GREAT ME! HAHAHA! But fear not child because I'm not here to hurt you but to make a deal to you! You should feel honored!"
Ren: "Wh--Who are you? What are you? Why am i not scared by you? What is this place? and Why come for me? and how can i esc---"
*LOUD CLAP*
The Giant clapped and Ren stop questioning further more because he might anger him. The Giant smiles and said.
Giant with many voices: "Okay okay relax! don't worry for I, THE AMAZING ME, will answer all of your questions. Mortal! your dead and you are now just a soul. In your world, i am what you call a Random Omnipotent Being as I'm not from any worlds. Call me the Great R.O.B. for short. You're in a place that's not your version of afterlife or in any afterlife at all, Your soul had drifted or floated far away from your dimension, leaving your soul stuck for a long time in this abyss, this cases, like yours, happens a lot of times than you think. Unfortunately, Mortal you cannot come back to your world because your soul is far away from your world and it has been corrupted or tainted by the abyss making you a native in here and impossible to come back! But FEAR NOT FOR I THE GREAT ME HAVE COME TO MAKE A OFFER WITH YOU! HAHAHA!
Ren is shocked and felt hopelessness because of the news. Ren now know that this place is not afterlife but he is in the abyss. Nevertheless, he still did not loose focus and look to the R.O.B again and curiously ask about the deal with respect and cautious tone.
Ren: "Great R.O.B! What is the deal that ALLMIGHTY YOU offering me, a no one?"
R.O.B: "Mortal it's THE GREAT R.O.B! BUT THAT WILL SUFFICE FOR NOW HAHAHAHA!.....You see child, I'm bored and for eons I am always looking for entertainments be it swimming around the cosmos, visiting others worlds, interacting with mortals and other gods, playing games, etc. Recently I picked up a new hobby and it is being an author and selling the novels from other worlds. I was thinking about the creating characters but then I decided choose the souls just like you who are in this situation to become the characters in my novels. The deal is about making you the main character in my new novel and go on adventures. You will choose the world and the time you want to reincarnated in. You can choose anywhere be it other worlds with magic or without magic, the world of your favorite animes, movies, novels. Do not worry because you will be placed in different worlds version from others, if you and other reincarnation wants to go for the same world. I will grant you 5 WISHES ONLY about anything you want, except wishing to become a deity, travel other worlds & returning in your original world."
R.O.B. stopped speaking and look to Ren who is shocked again while currently taking and processing the information he heard. Few seconds have passed and Ren ask another question.
Ren: "THE GREAT R.O.B! What is the catch? I'm sorry if it's rude but for me, It all seems too good to be true. Do i need to be extra careful for every action and movement? Do i need to follow your every commands and spread your name, make a religion about you in that world? I cannot wish to become a god?"
R.O.B: "You're thinking too much Child! allow THE GREAT ME to answer your questions. First off, You are free to refuse my offer but it seems you're gonna accept it. Child! don't think that you're special or the only one. THE GREAT ME have given many souls this offer, some of them accepted, some denied the deal, some couldn't even wish since I destroyed their souls because of their awful attitudes to me, The GREAT R.O.B. After all, I want to be respected and I am making many different novels and I'll continue on looking for other souls. Some of the souls did wish to return or become a transcended being but I refuses them all because it is a boring story to tell, for my taste at least. Nod if you are following my words mortal."
Ren nods vigorously because the fear angering R.O.B.
R.O.B: "You cannot wish to be a deity but you can become a deity by your own hardwork, will, determination, and efforts! You will not do anything for me besides make a little statue of me in that world and offers some foods, prayers, talk to me for a little bit and those will suffice HAHAHA!. The deal is that you just have to go on your own adventures and do whatever you want too. Based on your memories and your world, this type of happening is a popular genre in novels too. Do you understand?!"
*Happy ren nods vigorously again*
R.O.B: "GOOD! HAHA! Now that all of that explaining is over! I, THE GREAT ME, will add something to your wish. You should be honoured and praise me HAHA!...
Most of my novels and souls like you wished different things but they are still human beings from the start. You will have to think and wish about becoming another race except the human race or the godly race. Now Mortal! Do You want to become My Main character?"
*Ren agreed to the deal with smile and word thanks*
R.O.B: "Finally!!! Now that you accept the deal. Right now, You have 15 minutes to make a wish Go ahead and think!"
The news left Ren totally stunned with his mind still taking all of the informations with open mouth that might fall to the ground for a few seconds that can be seen only in anime. Ren still can't believe that the novels he read before is happening to him right now. Some R.O.B out of nowhere offers him, a nobody, to be reincarnation and he gets to choose the world he wants to. He struck gold, a Miracle. Also, Ren is astonish to those isekai characters, MC, that they have the courage to talk back and some are yelling to those gods, Ren still salutes their spirit but he wouldn't do that. Ren heard those situations from the R.O.B. itself that some of them failed to reincarnated, therefore Ren cannot and wouldn't disrespect the Giant. Before he celebrates he heard a strong clap again that left his ears ringing. He look up to see R.O.B. that is about to say something.
R.O.B: "Mortal! you only have 15 minutes to make a wish. If you didn't wish, then the deal is off and you will stay in here for eternity. Also, everything that happening here about The GREAT ME and your past, you will not tell a single soul even to the Gods because it will troublesome for you and me. For me to not experience the bothersome things I will place a seal on you, so that you cannot tell them. I did this to lot of reincarnators. Also, in every 10 years I will receive a summary reports of your journey. The reports will just be about the important events, parts so you don't have to worry about your privacy. My advise for you? don't mention this deal or forget about your past life and enjoy your new life Child!"
After listening to the warnings and advice. Ren slaps his head, even though it didn't hurt, and begun to recall all the anime and some of their powers and think of his wishes carefully for 14 minutes.

=TIMESKIP: 14 MINUTES=
Ren looks up to the Giant and with conviction to his eyes to tell his wishes to the R.O.B, which the god have a smile is visible in his face.
Ren: "THE GREAT R.O.B I'm now ready. The world i choose is the Naruto World in Konoha, and few years before the third war. For my wishes are;
The 1st wish: I wish to be a Progenitor Vampire, an ancient vampire race and the strongest vampire race. The Abilities are---"
R.O.B: "Mortal! Don't worry in abilities I read your thoughts earlier. I just want to be formal and want you to announce your other wishes. HAHAHA! For your Second wish, NO! You cannot wish for Infinite System Points because I want you to earn system points by completing missions and through your own efforts. Do you understand?"
Ren nods and continues to speak the other wishes.
Ren: "My 2nd wish: I wish to have a System that will help my Adventures. The System should have the functions; Inventory, Mapping, Mission, Rewards, Shop, Simulations, and Currency exchange.
The 3rd Wish: I wish to have a strong body that I can fully control and use different powers everytime without side effects.
The 4th Wish: I wish to have ability to Travel in other worlds, specifically in different animes.
last but not the least please! THE GREAT R.O.B
The 5th wish: I wish for my family and those people who cherished me back to always be Strong, happy, safe, and rich for many generations."
The R.O.B stopped smile and begin to crouch, looks at Ren and covers his chin with hand then wears a serious thinking expression in his Face. The R.O.B. is curious of Ren and ask why those wishes and told him that he can change his 4th and 5th wish. Ren quickly denied the offers and kneeled to the R.O.B.
Ren: "THE GREAT R.O.B. During my time of thinking, I thought about it a lot of times and sometimes i was tempted to change it wishing about something or someone. But both my heart, mind, and soul is mixed within this wishes. Also, If I am gonna forget and leave my original world i want to at least repay my family and those i cherish for their time, love & sacrifices they gave to me. These are my wishes and they will not change. Please THE GREAT R.O.B-sama!"
Ren starts to prostate himself, still holding on those 2 shards, and bow down directly in the ground in front of R.O.B to plead that show the desperation for the wishes especially the 4th and 5th wish....The R.O.B. smiles and belly laugh so hard because of Ren's sincere nature in every wishes with no lies within them.
R.O.B: "THE GREAT ME IS IMPRESSED BY YOU MORTAL! HAHAHAHAHA!....You, of all mortals, I've met surprised THE GREAT ME the most. You the mortal who is not afraid to hurt others and who is not afraid to love and care for others the next day. Whenever I grant a wish there are only few amount of people that I can count in one hand only, wishing for others instead for their own benefits. Those mortals stories became amazing, I like those kind of mortals! I gave those mortals special privileges in their wishes and in the deal. Mortal Child Ren! As THE GREAT AND FABULOUS ME! I can see and feel the sincerity in your wishes. Since not only you wished for the goodness of your loved ones but you also saved the kid and her family, that girl will become doctor that will create a cure for incurable diseases and will save many lives in the future along with her family. I will grant your 4th and 5th wish. Also, like those people I will add something to your wishes and SPECIAL THING added to the deal. The deal is that if your adventures in naruto world are satisfying, THE GREAT ME WILL STOP the making this novel and YOU WILL FINALLY HAVE YOUR FREEDOM with you still existing in that world and become free to do whatever you want. Do you understand Mortal Ren? if you can then stand up and look at AMAZING ME! You should feel honored! HAHAHA!"
Ren: "Thank you for your generosity THE GREAT R.O.B.-Sama!"
Ren stood up to look up to the R.O.B and Smiled and thanked the R.O.B. wholeheartedly and tears falling down on Ren's eyes.
*Brightness intensifies* *Shining*
R.O.B whole body starts to turn into series of lights and so does Ren's body. The series of lights intensifies and glitters as if it's a sign of farewell.
R.O.B: "Mortal Ren! This is goodbye because I will go now to find another characters for my other novels and so will your soul will go and be reincarnated to the Naruto World. Mortal Ren! Do not bow down to anyone except ME and those who deserves your respect. I will wait for reports and read your story. Enjoy your new life!"
Ren: "THANK YOU! THE GREAT R.O.B.-SAMA!"
Ren felt tired and close his eyes while holding the 2 abyss shards. Series of flashing lights moves away from the place and headed to two different directions.
