A Beautiful Day
"Man, today was awesome. Like, really, really awesome... I had a wonderful date, my salary just came, and now, after having my favorite meal at the restaurant, I am on my way home to just sleep."
As it was very late, there wasn't a single taxi or any other means of travel, so our protagonist decided to walk home.
"While walking home, I heard a scream followed by the typical villainous laughter. I knew it wasn't my problem, but my inner conscience wouldn't let me sleep. So, I sprinted towards the voice."
After I reached there, what I saw shook me to the core. It was the most brutal scene I have seen in my entire life... I was too late. The girl whose voice I had heard was lying on the floor, barely breathing... Her whole intestine had been brutally extracted by a pole, which a boy of approximately 19 was holding. His friends were also there.
I was so anguished and bloodshot that I didn't even wait. I slammed into him with all my strength, shoulder first, and we both crashed onto the cold ground. The pole slipped from his hand and rolled away with a metallic clang. He was shocked for a second, and in that second I clamped my teeth on his ear and bit down as hard as I could.
I didn't know how to fight at all. I had never thrown a proper punch in my life, so I did the only thing I could: I held on. He screamed and thrashed beneath me, slamming his fists into my ribs and my face. My lip split open, and the taste of blood filled my mouth, his and mine mixed together. Still, I didn't let go.
His friends snapped out of their daze and rushed in. The first kick landed in my stomach and knocked the air out of my lungs. Another hit the back of my head, and the world flashed white for a moment. Fists, shoes and knees came from every direction. I couldn't even tell who was hitting me anymore. My vision blurred and my ears were ringing, but all I could think about was that girl lying on the floor. I clenched my jaw tighter.
His screams turned into desperate howls. He clawed at my face and tried to push my head away, but I held on until his ear was torn from him.
Last thing I remember was sirens...
"At least she should be alive." That was the last thought.
Darkness was the only thing I remembered.
After a long time, a bright light flashed in front of me, and standing ahead of me was Stan Lee.
I mean, I was surprised, astonished, so dumbfounded. Like, seriously, what would you feel when, after dying, you saw the biggest inspiration in front of you...
After some time, he started speaking to me.
"Hey man, you see, it's just a get-up which I took because I don't have any true form. So..."
"Let's scrap the trash talk. I am what you all call ROB, so I'm here to fulfill your wish to reincarnate you anywhere in the multiverse. It was the lady's chance, but she gave up... Yeah, sad she didn't live, but at least she got justice, as the boy was shot down by her father... Anyway, the lady was grateful for your help and didn't want the chance because she didn't want to live with those memories, so she passed on the chance to you."
Okay... Me, I am experiencing many things, like sadness that she didn't live, satisfaction that she got justice, and fulfillment that my sacrifice didn't go to waste.
So, I looked up, and after a lot of thinking, I answered him that:
"I will go to the Marvel universe."
Like, come on, who doesn't want that exciting, death-filled world where those beauties like Wanda, Black Widow and Hela live?
He then smiled, and then a wheel of fortune came into existence.
He said, "These are all the powers and advantages you can gain, but you only have one chance to draw."
I looked up at it. It had various things and many exciting powers, such as Superman physiology, Harry Potter magic, etc., and many from animes like chakra from Naruto, devil fruit, etc.
After spinning the wheel, it stopped on one thing from One Piece: "Seimei Kikan," which is life return.
