The air felt thick for Walter walking as he woke up in what seems like a flower field garden filled with anything but weeds it was beautiful and relaxing for a moment.
Then he started to recall his last memory alive it was during an epidemic the government made people stay indoors and cleaned those who couldn't like those too poor had the highest death rates unsurprisingly
luckily or not so I was quite wealthy as a war hero who dragged almost every kid from the pits of hell in the 1900s I had the best house and could get any-
No not anything…
anyway I had a bunker filled with what I needed I decided to be safer than sorry and stayed their
but clearly not so safe as dis-spite being called a hero it was mostly in the past so the young folk only look at my wealth and me being at the edge of the rope of life it was easy to kill me.
especially when you were as close as an head home health nurse. But after that just before the lights went out my life replayed before my eyes
the betrayal after betrayal, the higher ups who only cared about results not the dozens of friends close like brothers dying just out of reach and the countless thank you's from newer younger soldiers I had saved.
the sadness of living completely and utterly alone, I lived to a ripe 113 years
1 month ,21 days 3hrs 45min and was born 1909 dec 20.
The sound of movement behind me drew me out of my musing with tears falling down my eyes.it was strange that I could still see clearly but I was more distracted by what I was looking at.
An old man with a countryside farmer with no worry's vibe he was dressed casually with an old pipe hanging from his mouth and a warm smile wearing a straw hat and right beside him lay a bundle on a long staff.
He's pouring a drink in a small wide bowl and greeted " hello Mr walking. have you settled or do you need more time child?" His voice had a grandfatherly feel to it calming me down as I slowly stopped crying.
It took a bit of 30 minutes of closure and composing myself before I answered taking a seat next to him "ya I'm good now. sorry for making you wait ,though I would like to ask where I am and who you are friend."
He seemed a little surprised I hadn't put things together and said " I am a traveler and supervisor of this universe, though you lot apparently from what I heard from the others call us Rob's. Though I'd appreciate it if called me Hegd as you can't pronounce my actual name this will do. And as for where we are this is where I stopped to chat and possibly trade child."
Confused I asked confused " trade?
but I don't have anything to give."
He looked at me and explained that I had a lot of positive karma and could trade with that to reincarnate or transmigrate.
" I would like to try to start over again,but not from a baby so I'll go with transmigration. Also how much will it cost and how much do I have?" I said thoughtfully
" well we don't really count karma we gauge it - aaaah it doesn't matter you have enough for four slightly unreasonable wishes to an extent and possibly five more if thier within reason. And for the other question no that is just a choice you can make though anything else's is costly." He responded
"Alright I wish for
to customize my body for the new world
To have a complete and integrated background in said new world
To be transmigrated in twilight as a North god Fenrir without the down sides
The ability of cautious predator or wary hunters from the fantasy dnd game a playground kid introduced to him.
He stops me there saying I don't have enough for anything else and slowly gets up as I follow and we start walking around a bit as I continue with the first and second wish
"Let's see hear I don't really want to change much I just want to be healthy and with no deadly defects. Probably make me six ft with thick pitch black hair 17yrs." I said as he picked a flower to smell and handing it to me as we walk along a small slow stream.
He stated simply "it is done" and they continue with the background
"I feel giving today so you will be a grandson of a wealthy old man who lives in the north head a Viking village with dead parents though normally I would randomize it but for you child I'll put in a little effort extra." He said as he stopped and turned to look at me and waved and everything went dark.
