The gifts of a lifetime
As I felt the searing pain slowly eat up my right arm and leg, my vision began to fade, and the only thing I clearly remember in that moment was the simple question, "Was this it? All of my 22 years of living ending like this?" Soon followed by darkness I felt the searing pain of the nano bots that where chewing through my limbs gone, and was replaced with a cool sensation as I heard a voice call out to me. The voice sounded like a friendly uncle calling out to you at a family reunion.
"Hello little one, how did you end up here?" The friendly uncle asked
I was confused, did I die and was going to be reincarnated in some fantasy world like in those web novels my friend got me into? Was I going to get some overpowered cheat, or maybe a harem of cute girls? As my imagination ran wild with all these possibilities, I opened my eyes to see if I could find this ROB (Random Omnipotent Being) as the deities are so called in these situations. As I opened my eyes and turned around to sound of his voice I see him, a middle age looking man with dark oak brown about average high and build, on his face you can see a look of concern.
"Are you okay" he asked as he walked over as if to make sure I was okay
"How did I get here" I weakly stutter as my throat still seemed hoarse after screaming when the… wait I look over and notice my arm and leg was still there how was that possible?
"Well boyo, no better way to say this, you got killed by truck-kun" the friendly uncle sighed "That truck'" he groans "no matter where I put him ends up killing somebody doesn't he?"
'Truck-kun? I died by salvager nano bots, wait didn't he just ask where did I come from?' I thought as the ROB continued to rant seemingly forgetting about me
"Um, excuse me" I call out to him, "I didn't get hit by a truck I died due to a swarm of salvage clean up nano bots"
The ROB freezes and looks down on his list and pulls out a set of reading glasses to read said list, sighing he said "Well then lets get you going then" clearly trying to sweep away the awkward silence, and summoned the three wheels with the labels of world, power, and objective.
I timidly walkup to the first wheel and spin it, after a good minute it slowly starts clacking on the pegs sticking out of the board stopping on a tile between a world of swords and magic and a world of smut, landing directly on a world of super powers, I sighed no fantasy world for me but hey, I come from a world where heroes and villains where a monthly to yearly even so nothing to unbearable. I walkup to the second wheel this time I look at the tiles, powers like super strength, flying, and telepathy were listed as well with some weird ones like mind control and Michemancy, I close my eyes and spun the wheel this one took longer spinning for a good 3 minutes before finally slowing down and landing on one that made me shutter, Nanomancy, 'out of all the powers I could have gotten' I mentally groan, the thing that killed me, was now to be my power.
Now looking at the final wheel, I felt a eerie feeling come from the last wheel or the wheel with the label of objective as I approached the last wheel the text and size of the tiles seem to shift and squirm with none of the tiles making any sense or staying the same size, I gulped as I spun the wheel this one only spun once as if getting locked in place as the text on the tile turned legible, I was startled as it simply said spread Chaos, the kindly uncle ROB behind me watching this whole process in silence started laughing.
No, laughing wasn't the right word the ROB now was bent off holding on to his knees trying to not fall over in hysteria, tears running down his face. His voice seemed to shift from an kindly uncle to a creepy crazy grandfather as his appearance shifted, never seeming to settle and stop after that always changing as he looked at me with mirth in his eyes, "You, Lucian Lorstone, actually thought, you where going to be Isekaied to another dimension? Haha fortunately you now have a higher calling boyo, as now you are my chosen champion to spread chaos and merrymaking to the mortal realm. Do so and spread the name of Desmodeus"
And with that I felt a sinking feeling as I heard the name, Desmodeus, otherwise know as the chaotic evil Empyrean. But I didn't have time process what he said before I actually started to sink through the ground, falling from the sky straight back into my body which was now lying on a stretcher in an ambulance. I had a weird feeling something akin to a phantom limb. I looked over to what was supposed to be my stump of an arm and leg only to see the same nano bots that destroyed my limbs now replaced them.
