Chapter 1: Meeting with ROB
==========
Walter POV:
==========
???: "Hello little one, hope you enjoyed your sleep but now it's time to wake up."
Walter: "Arg... Can't you shut up Bill for god sake... ... Wait, little one, sleep ?" 'I shouldn't be sleeping nor being called 'little one'.' I get up instantly eyeing everything around me, I was in a vast white void before I was someone looking like bill my assistant/friend. 'Where am I? I should be at the reunion with these lobbyists.'
???: "I have good news for your young one: Firstly, you are dead. Secondly, you are before me ROB. Thirdly, I will give you the chance to live a new life in a brand new world. So before you stop me from asking stupid questions. Yes, you are dead all thanks to your assistant Bill.
Walter: "Wait what?!? That impossible, I'm probably just making a bad dream or drank a little too much, anyway that impossible that Bill is or will ever be the reason for my death."
ROB: "You know greed is a predominant trait of your kind, a little money here and there and poof, you die due to poison in your bottle of water. Bill become the new CEO of your company since he will obtain all of your shares now you are dead."
Walter: "Don't f*cking joke with me !!!"
==========
3 months later.
==========
Walter: "So he really betrayed me after 20 years of partnership huh..."
ROB: "Yep and it was time for you to accept it, three full months if we compare it to the earth standard. But now we can begin the serious talk. As I wanted to say, you are dead and I won't let you go back to your past life, even we "gods" have rules between us."
Walter: "If I remember correctly my younger years, now you give me 3 wishes and send me in a world for your enjoyment because I don't doubt I'm worth nothing in your eyes and I won't believe the bullshit about high karma thingy. After all, there is no free meal in the world/universe."
ROB: "Yep, it's something among those lines. Anyway, I picked you almost randomly, still need someone with a good "brain", to entertain me, I have already done that before and still have a few "shows" running but that not the subject of today matter, you can't refuse by the way. I will send you to a universe where stellar wars aren't impossible but you will have to improve the civilization you will create and guide. If your species, cultures, civilization, or nations are /killed /destroyed /assimilated /conquered you "lose" and your soul will be shattered, meaning no reincarnation after that.
To help you in this endeavor, I will grant you a system that will help you, you will have more information soon. Now the fun part, you will design your species, home system, avatar(s), and other stuff. Also, a tip between us, before wishing for anything, do all the designing. Now that everything is explained, I have things to do. Have a nice experience in your new life."
When The Bill ROB finished, he disappeared and a blue screen appears before me.

1. Born as a baby, in a tribe, you are less likely to die but the tribe has already a hierarchy in place and your freedom could be restrained meaning that it could be hard to climb the social ladder. Also, your clan isn't immune to anything, it could be decimated before you could even walk. (Note: Your tribe size, mother, father, and your location are random.)
2. You will be transferred in the world alone on one of the three continents inside a forest in the early morning of the spring days as a 15-year-old girl.

Walter: "The second option and for my look Sherazade from the manga "Magi" but let my body become more mature don't want to be stuck as a loli for a hundred years, do you have a suggestion for my new name?"
Walter: "Sure."
Walter: "Do my wishes have a restriction?"
Walter: "Could my species be natural psionic like the Protoss of Starcraft?"
Walter: "So I want my species to have latent psionic potential and the origin of this power is our souls, not some universal entity who could cause a crisis. Also, since the men of my species will have more physical strength than women; can you make sure that the women have in general more psionic power/potential than men."
Walter: "Perfect, my second wish is that I have awakened my psionic power since I have unlimited potential as a psionic in the universe. Also, since I say the psionic power and potential of my species is tied to our souls, if I died I won't lose what I acquired through my life and will take it to the next one."
Walter: "Ok. For my third wish, I want to have infinite life spawn."
Walter: "I understand, question though, would I be able to share my lifespan with my families and trusted friend?"
Walter: "Ok... I will take that as a yes... Anyway, my third wish is that my home system won't be visited until my kind venture outside our home system for the first time. I don't want an "Independence Day" remake on my planet."
Walter: "I confirm."
