Chapter 1 - ROB looked at me, and I died!?!?

*3rd Pov*

Damian Caldwell was going about his day, as usual, watching Bleach after a long day's work. Again. He sat at his creaky old desk watching his TV on his nightstand. It was showing Yhwach dog walking Zaraki Kenpachi. It never got old to him, Bleach. He felt he could watch it endlessly, over and over.

Then disaster struck, he suddenly found himself in a dark void. There was nothing, no light, no feeling, just a dark expanse of emptiness. He tried to call out to anyone, anything, but no sound came out. There was no change at all. After a while, Damien seemingly fell asleep. Unaware of his surroundings for an untold amount of time.

"Ha, it happened again. I can't even open my eyes anymore." A voice rang out, low but clear.

The voice shook everything and just like that, all creation was born again. Light erupted around Damien, first, there was darkness, then light, then creation and destruction, followed shortly by life and death. Then planets and all that goes beyond A mere voice brought about such a phenomenon.

It was Damien's luck to be asleep, for if he witnessed such a thing his soul would have surely collapsed beyond saving. Just as all were born again Damien woke up to find himself in a room of Light, containing only a table and 2 chairs. One char had a strange entity, an amalgamation of Light contained in a Grey outline. Damien gazed at the figure and felt only reverence. He couldn't harbor any other thoughts other than to worship this entity, this thing.

And after a time, perhaps an instant or maybe long enough for a universe to be born and wither away, the scene broke. Damien found himself able to speak and move again. Despite his confusion, he approached the table and sat down before addressing the entity across from him.

"Uh, hey man. You wouldn't happen to know what happened to me would you?"

Damien found himself strangely calm, despite his unusual circumstances. He would normally never have been this calm, who would in this situation?

"Well, after reading your memories, I seem to be what you would refer to as a ROB. I opened my eyes for the first time in 40 Quintillion years and happened to look at you. My gaze destroyed your body. I was almost unable to save your soul."

The entity, The ROB had no voice. The words appeared in Damien's mind. Damien was still confused, however, how could an omnipotent being make a mistake and almost struggle? it didn't make sense, so Damien naturally tried to satiate his curiosity.

"Aren't you supposed to be omnipotent? Also, a GAZE killed me, of all the people in the universe? The hell man."

Damien himself didn't know where his courage came from, to speak to such a being as he would a friend online. It just seemed natural to trust this ROB, as if his mind rejected any hostility or negative feelings towards this entity, despite it being the cause of Damien's death.

"It would be easier to just implant the information in your mind. I wish you luck in your endeavors mortal. Consider this an apology for your untimely death."

Just like that, the being was gone. A massive influx of information caused Damien to hold his head as he writhed in agony. After a certain amount of time, he recovered and started to process this new information. ROB was not 100% omnipotent, as no being truly was entirely devoid of restrictions. That's why he has to open his eyes every 40 quintillion years. ROB left him with 1 wish along with a Bleach system. After he makes his wish, he will be sent to a new world. It was insane, to be tasked with such a choice. The circumstances were beyond unbelievable, but he couldn't help but believe it. He was even marginally excited. His life wasn't that interesting.

He had no information on the world he will be arriving in, nor anything about his system. He could use his wish for information, but in case it was a dangerous world he wanted to ensure his survival. If he has a system revolving around Bleach the world will almost certainly need him to fight. He thought long and hard before deciding on his wish.

One could say he was hypocritical, he wanted survival but didn't want abilities like All Fiction or Rimuru Tempest's Regeneration. He wanted a challenge so his life wouldn't be ungodly boring. How would he ever have any tension in his life with powers like All Fiction? In the end, he decided to wish for Self Sustenance of the highest degree. He would eliminate the need to sleep, eat, drink, shit and piss, and anything else like that. It would make his life much easier while not making him very overpowered. Damien thought it a good choice.

As soon as he made his wish, he vanished. The room he was in faded to reveal the last remnants of a universe. Damien would never know how long he spent inside that room, that the earth had long faded and humans as he knew them gone from his old reality. Damien was on his way to his new home, a world he would later find out is named Cyron. A world of magic and mystery beyond anything he could imagine. A good world for an exciting new life, no?
