1 1 The Son

When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in my room. I don't understand why I'm here, I mean, I just got hit by a truck. Hopefully, THE truck. I guess, not though. That's unfortunate.

Well, nothing I can do about that. I mean it's not like I necessarily want to die, but I live a very normal life. Aside from the fact that I was disowned by my family because one of my ex-girlfriends tried making false accusations of rape, my life is super plain. She was insane.

After she came to her senses and threw out the case, I left my "family." If they can't have my back at a time like that, then I don't need them in my life. So, I have nothing really tying me to this world since all my friends are also just people I talk to every once in awhile, we're not really close.

Well, since I have free time, I may as well go watch some anime or something.

Eh? Why is is there an old man in my room? Wait a minute, the bastard has my laptop!

"Hey old man! Give me back my laptop!" I yell. If I lose it, I don't have the money for another!

"Oh! Hello, young Arata!" The old man said in response, still not putting my laptop down. Rather, I watched him type in the password and open up the search engine while he was talking to me. Seriously, man what the fuck? "Do not fear because I AM HERE! Hahaha! Arata, I am sorry to tell you, but you died. You don't care much, I know. Anyway, let me tell you why I'm here. Congratulations! You died! Everyone who dies gets a wish or a few for their next life, memory not included. I, as The One, the strongest existence who created all other existences and worlds greet everyone and listen to their wishes since I'm that kind! Now for wishes! You get one, use it wisely! Take your time, thinking if you need to. We have all of eternity.

Fuck. Seriously? One wish? Memories not included? I though I was going to be a protagonist! This is some bullshit. Like, what would I even wish for? If I wish for talent in something there's still the fact that I might never do the thing I wish for talent in. Should I wish for a good life? What a waste! Well, there's maybe a wish that can give me the ability to travel through anime worlds, have a harem and befriend all my favorite characters. It's a long shot though. Like, it's such a long shot I may as well be flinging poop at the God of Sweets and saying it's chocolate. But I'm desperate.

I looked at The One and asked, "Do you have any children?"

"No, even if created a child for myself, I wouldn't be able to properly raise it. The most I could do is watch what it's doing with a little more attention than everything else. Then, it would probably abuse it's powers somehow. While I could create it with certain morals, then I think it would just be some program, not a child. It's unfortunate for me, but I'm The One. Why?"

"I wish to be your son."
