"BOINK!"

I heard some noise that woke me up from my sleep . My vision ranged the scene and all I could see amidst the gloom were the dark forms of men .

Their smell was horrid as their sweaty and unwashed bodies assaulted my senses . But I was used to it all .

For I, too, had the same condition as these brutes that were with me in one room .

"The Evil God has seen your plight and in his boundless kindness, granted you a boon . " an unfamiliar voice continued .

It was not a dream after all, I confirmed .

"Who are you?" I whispered .

"Your question is invalid . " it answered .

"What is the boon you were talking about?" I asked again .

"The Evil God has given you one ability as his gift for you . Please choose:

1 . Eternal Eyes - could see the past, present and future .

2 . Unbreakable Body - a physique that could outmatch the body of the gods in defensive capabilities .

3 . Heaven Divide - this ability could grant you clones that would embody yourself in both mind and ability . (numbers infinite)

4 . Elemental Dominion - all elements shall follow your will .

5 . Shattered Image - grants you the skill to copy any technique or natural ability that you see, touch and hear . (This is not limited to animate existences)

. . . . . . . .

I saw myriad of choices from being a man that could kill anything with a touch up to someone who held all the knowledge in this universe in my beck and call .

"Hmmm . What to choose?" I murmured and read at the clear letters that was presented before me .

Haste was not in me anymore after all the years I spent in this cage . Thus, patience was a best friend i earned the hard way in my long incarceration .

"I choose this . " I finally decided after more than two hours of fast reading . My back was still comfortably lying on my bunk bed and I took a deep breath while caressing the long white beard on my face .

The pages from the words that only I can see seemed infinite and I did not know if there was an ending to it . But when I had taken one look at the definition of the ability i chose, I was determined to look no further .

This was all I ever wanted in life . And my 90 years in this world was screaming for this to happen every single day . And now I finally got the chance to do so . Please let this be real, I prayed inside .

"Are you sure? After you say yes, your pick can never be altered anymore . Please choose wisely . " the voice which was alien to my ears sounded again .

This time I knew why this was so . It was the sound of a female . A gender I never saw nor heard from again since my downfall 70 years ago .

"I am sure . " I answered without hesitation .

"Is that a yes?" the female voice asked once more .

"Yes, it is . " I responded as fast as the latter .

"Congratulations, mortal! The gift has been successfully assimilated into your soul . Please enjoy and live a long life ahead . That is my master's only wish . Goodbye . " the voice said her last .

"Are you still there?" I tested .

But no one returned my question .

I scrutinized the ability that i got from the god and gave it a whirl .

"FLASH!" my vision turned blurry and then there was nothing .
