*On a beach in Los Angeles, California*
A young men in his late 20s can be seen lying on the still warm sand under a sky full of stars next to a bondfire, he has long black hair to his shoulders wearing only a red beeny and black shorts.
His name was Zane, no last name, and he was currently smoking a blunt of a new variety he just got, and was so high he didn't even mind the barrel of the gun pointed right at him.
"GIVE ME THE DAMN WALLET!!!"
"Chill man...look at how beautiful the stars are...here, want a hit of this beauty?"
Yes he was being robbed at the moment, it was almost 3 am in a quiet corner of the beach that almost never saw any traffic.
He was just enjoying himself when this dude showed up screaming, he didn't mind though and just passed him some to help him relax and stop screaming.
The robber, seeing him not complying, smirked and just shot him dead without hesitating, and calmly walked away.
After all, he wasn't really trying to get his money but was actually an assassin send by a rich, jealous and cowardly ex-husband of one of Zane's sex friends.
He never really wanted to settle as he considered himself a free spirit, so he just stayed friends with those women, while sometimes having sex when they where in the mood.
He was always honest with them and had told all of them how he viewed the relationship and wouldn't actually have cared if they did it with other men but told them he would never be intimate with someone who was already in a relationship.
Strangely enough, none of those women ever had sex with any other man after him and a rare few even broke up with their boyfriend/husband after knowing of this...
The guy who wanted him dead was actually one of those dudes...but the asshole cheated on her first and she used that as an excuse to end things...
*Zane POV*
After feeling a slightly tickle on my forehead, I opened my eyes slowly while rubbing the spot.
The first thing I noticed was...MY HIGH WAS GONE.
Like, just like that it was just...snuffed out or something.
The second thing I noticed was that I was sitting in an armchair next to a lit fireplace.
In front of me, sitting in a similar one was a man in a tuxedo that looked like...Schwarzenegger...his hair looked amazing by the way.
He smiled smugly and ran his hand over it as if he heard my thoughts, then he spoke in a deep but gentle voice that just made you relax.
"Hello Zane, what would you like to drink before we start ?"
"..."
"..."
"You're the terminator..."
"Hot coco it is then!"
I widened my eyes in shock and got out of my fanboy daze after he spoke...
"How did you.."
I was cut off as a steaming cup of italian hot coco, my favorite drink, just appeared in front of me, turning back to him I noticed...
He looked at me in amusement and I finally realized...
I was dead...
Oh well, no point worrying about it...everyone has to go someday, it was just my time.
After that I just picked up my drink and casually sipped, enjoying the warmth it gave me. This was my favorite thing right after the Mary jane...
"Wanna try it ?"
Lifting my head, I froze, the terminator was casually handing me the most perfect blunt I had ever seen in my life... it was golden, streamlined and perfectly proportionned, enough for two people to share comfortably.
"I grew it myself!"
Quickly looking at him, I gave him the brightest smile I could and reverently took the piece of art he handed me.
Lighting it with my own custom lighter that had Been gifted to me by a shaman in one of my trips to Africa, I didn't even question how I still had it after dying.
On the first puff I felt the effects right away, and judged it immediately as the best pot I ever had... even better then the stuff I got from those monks in the Himalayas.
"High Indica hybrid, really creamy flavor, just a pinch of THC that gives it that good UMMF... and damn is it strong... strongest stuff I ever had!!!"
"Hahaha, I see you're a conaisseur, but i have to admit, I didn't expect you to be able to withstand it, your tolerance is truly remarkable even if it's my weakest batch it's still meant for gods"
The, now confirmed, God declared joyfully.
I was half listening half wondering if penguins were classified as chicken or not...
Yeah this was some good good...
Unbothered by my lack of attention, the God continued.
"As you have deduced, yes you are dead, and you are here because I chose you..."
He explained as i passed him the blunt and he took a good hit and held it in while saying "You are special, Zane"
He quickly exhaled before continuing,
"In the whole omniverse you are the most chill, kind and peaceful being that exists without loosing any morals or principles, you also somehow got a mutated aura that makes people's impression of you to be quite positive the first time they meet you...of course it's not absolute, and is a very vague feeling, but with your attitude and actions afterwards, it has conquered quite a few people, who's lives you have improved along your life journey."
I just shrugged at that,
"I just like seeing people happy, and I didn't do much, just gave a hand when I could and was nice to those who where nice to me"
I smiled serenely while remembering my travels around the world.
"So, what should I call you?"
"ROB"
I blinked, SERIOUSLY??!!
I looked at him and he just nodded while passing me the blunt.
"Exactly what you're thinking, so let's just get to it. Based on your karma value, You get either 10 small wishes, 5 medium wishes, or 3 big wishes, of course there are other parameters in play like, wishing for survivability has smaller cost than wishing for power, same with auxiliary and main powers, but hey since I like you I'll give you some leeway and round up the wishes you make so the cost doesn't spill over..."
I didn't get that last part and didn't know the difference in scale between the types of wishes... so I just asked.
"...Uhm... I didn't really get all that...ca I just tell you what I want and you tell me if it's possible or if I have to tone it down ?"
" Sure, it would actually make it easier for me if we did that, so come on shoot"
"Hmm... Well I want an infinite dimension filled with infinite weed of all kinds, from stuff strong enough to knock out the strongest dudes in the uni-I mean omniverse, to dope that can barely give a little mouse a good buzz. And if possible I'd like it if I had the specs of each type, in my head, already memorized"
"Bahahahaha, yes that is a good wish and it's barely enough for it to stay in the medium category without turning into a big one, as a side bonus I'll also add all kinds of OCB paper and filters so anyone or anything can smoke with it."
"Wow thank you, I didn't think of that... well for the second wish, I like traveling so, can I get the ability to travel the omniverse?"
"Hmm, big wish, but on the smaller scale... there, barely fit as a medium but, can't add my touch to it, though there's nothing to add really, unfortunately, to make it medium I had to make it so it's not instantly activated, you got to charge for about 2min24sec to go from a metaverse to another,but inside it you can teleport instantly, you just have to think of where you want to go."
"Cool... for this one, I thought about it and there are a lot of strong entities or whatever out there right... so I want to be safe from them, like maybe immortality or immunity or whatever... can I do that?"
I was anxious about this one as it was kinda of important if I don't want to be vaporized without even knowing what happened...
Rob was silent for a moment and they slowly replied,
"Ok so, in order to make this true I had to make a really big wish, with almost all the remaining energy you had left put into it, you basically only have enough for 3 small wishes left, and they have to be on the lower tier, but it's worth it, as from now on in terms of endurance, longevity, vitality and survivability, you are now in the top 5 across existence itself, just know that from now on you are basically safe as even beings like the presence and TOAA can't put a scratch on you, and they can't trap or seal you either as you can teleport thanks to your previous wish, also as an added bonus of having that kind of vitality, all your other parameters have been improved, not to the extent of your durability, but high enough that you can now bench press a planet or two and run at about 20% the speed of light, but that's just an example to give you an idea as like I said 'all parameters' even your control over your body has improved."
Wow, I didn't know it was possible...but hey it's a good thing.
"As for the small wishes... the ability to control my tolerance... and IDK maybe an indestructible bong for smoking, but aside from that, I can't think of anything else I really want..."
"Pfft, hahaha, usually reincarnators always beg for more, but you're definitely better, hahahaha.
As those first two, that's no problem I'll also make it so you can see the levelof tolerance of others, heck, I'll even customize and make that lighter of yours indestructible too, as for the last wish... Hmm, let's do this, I'll just infuse the last of the energy into your aura and make it so instead of just being passive it can have minor healing capabilities, I can only do that because it's already strong and mutated on its own, now what world would you like to start at?"
"Um...can we do a roulette ? I don't really care where i end up...as long as there is good food... and a nice view where i can lay"
I asked as at this point, despite not even getting to half the blunt, I felt like I spent days smoking non stop, and was having the munchies on a bigger scale then I ever had in my life.
"Hihihi, don't worry, with your new abilities you'll be able to enjoy any kind of weed without feeling so overwhelmed, as for the world, how about one piece? The beauty of the sea and as for food, I'll just drop you at the baratie when it's still opening for the first time, that way you can catch a free meal."
"...cool..."
With an amused chuckle rob just casually dropped me in the waters near the newly opened baratie restaurant.
