"So... are you telling me that I died? "
" Exactly "
"I'm not surprised... " Said a teenager with black hair and brown eyes with a sigh.
Axel Miller was an ordinary teenager on earth, a fan of comics and movies, that a normal family, not too rich and not too poor, and a normal life.
But unfortunately (or fortunately for some) he ended up not paying attention while crossing the road and was hit by a car at high speed.
And instead of going to heaven or hell as a normal person would expect, he ended up in front of a being who had the appearance of actor Julian Richings, the same one who had played death in supernatural.
This being was a kind of entity (according to his own words) that was responsible for absorbing Axel's world and after seeing him die, decided to have a little chat with him.
"So, what will happen to me now? I'm sure you won't just revive me " He asked looking at the entity.
"Well, you have 3 options now. First, because you have been a good person for most of your life and have accumulated a large amount of positive karma, you have the right to go to Heaven and stay there until Christ returns to the mortal world " explained the entity.
Axel just ignored the part about the return of Christ and began to think. Going to Heaven didn't seem like a bad idea, but first I would have to listen to the other options.
" Monday, you will be sent to limbo, the space between existence and non-existence, where you will have to survive sleep a few centuries while facing beings that have been banned from existence, and after that, you will be reborn in your world with all your memories and experience. At what age you will be reborn will depend on your older memory, which will be the basis of your rebirth," he explained.
The second was out of the question for Axel. Whatever was banned from existence, he wasn't crazy enough to want to find out. He'll find some Lovecraft freak.
"And the last one, you reincarnate in a 'fictional' world of your universe, which in this case is a world that exists within a multiverse that is part of an infinite number of other multiverses. And you will be entitled to some wishes too " Explained the entity with a smile.
"I choose the third " He answered without thinking twice " But could you tell me in which world I will reincarnate? "
"You will reincarnate in marvel"
Axel's smile died at the same moment and was subsidized by a frown of anger and disappointment.
"What sudden mood swings. I thought you liked this world " He moced the entity.
"It's one thing to like it and the other is to want to be there. Since the mid-2000s, Marvel is no longer a good place to be, not since writers gained a tare in creating almost divine characters and making most of them always stay in America " Alex replied still maintaining his expression of discontent. He should have chosen the first one.
"Don't worry, you won't be on earth 616, you don't have to worry about too much"
"Still, I'll still be on Marvel. At least the desires will help me for something. By the way, how many desires do I have? "
"You have 4 wishes" Answered the entity.
"Wait, it's not usually 3? "
"Do I look like a lamp genius? " Asked the entity raising an eyebrow.
"...." Alex simply was silent looking at the entity "Well, first wish, I wish to be able to manipulate my body at the molecular level, being able to manipulate things like height, body mass, blood pressure, stiffness, etc."
"Okay"
" I want to be able to absorb and manipulate any type of matter or energy, in addition to being able to produce a special energy of my own that I can use to do all kinds of things, as long as I know how to do a certain thing "
" Okay, but you will have a limit on how much energy you can absorb from an energy depending on the type of energy you are absorbing" He added the entity.
" Cool. Third, I want to be able to generate and control anti-matter "
"It can be. So, what will be your last order? "
"Well, I don't know, I think I want to have an intimidating appearance, something that exudes aura and respect. I leave the choice to you "
" Okay" Said the entity and in the blink of an eye Alex disappeared from the empty and dark place where they were "Now, what should I look like the boy? "
"Darth Vader? No, almost 60% of the fear he caused is due to his armor... Thanos? No, he's already on Marvel and it would be strange to have two Thanos... Aizen Sousuke? Better not... "
After some time of thinking, the entity finally found the right appearance.
"Darkseid! Who isn't afraid of Darkseid? The new strongest god, ruler of Apokolips, one of the beings who is able to shake entire universes with his true form. It's impossible to be more intimidating than that "
With this, the entity selected the appearance and went back to its job of observing Alex's world.
"Hmm? " He questioned looking at something "interesting"
Then with a snap of her fingers, a girl with brown hair and black eyes appeared in front of the entity.
"Welcome to the center of existence, unfortunately you died. You have 3 options, the first is to go to hell for your sins, the second is to spend a few centuries in limbo before reincarnating, or... " He said with a strange smile appearing on his face " I can send you to the same place as Axel Miller, with some desires of course "
A look of hatred and anger took over the girl's face while a vein jumped from her forehead.
"Where is this fucker!? "
