"WWAAAHHH!!" I screamed from the top of my lungs, the loudest I could ever muster.

I have never felt this pain, I clutch my head tightly using my little hands as I tried doing various things just to relieve the pain a little but none work.

I tried curling my body as I rolled around the bed, didn't work.

I tried massaging my head, didn't work.

Tried biting my lips, didn't work.

All of the things I tried didn't work as I was forced to bear the pain for a whole ten minutes.

My eyes were starting to close as I slowly loses my consciousness.

"*** *** ****"

The last thing I saw was a marine kicking the door open and rushing to my side.

He held me in his arms as he tries to ask me something but I was too tired to understand what he was saying and soon pass out.

|Dream|

I experience a weird dream where my name was ******, a high schooler living a normal life contrary world im in.

****** or rather me was a native Filipino, living with a normal happy family of 6, being the oldest, I was responsible for all my younger siblings and I acted like one.

My life was simple until I run across animes and mangas, it bring so much joy into my normal and dull life especially one piece.

One piece had become my favorite anime that I watch and read every chapter of it.

I also watch other anime and read some mangas but in my opinion, nothing brought more impact to my life other than One Piece.

My life faced a difficult phase when I graduated from Junior High School.

Due to my high grades and diligence, I manage to pass the scholarship for Ateneo Senior High School, one of the prestigious schools here in the Philippines.

I can't help smiling staring at my family's smile and happiness when they found out I passed.

I should also be happy but because of how stressful Senior life is, I haven't got any time to be distracted.

I stopped watching One piece anime and only followed the Manga, I also stopped reading fanfiction as my schedule doesn't have any space no more.

My life becomes even duller as I spent most of my time pursuing the diploma I didn't even dream of, a career I didn't even want, a life where you only wait to die.

Speaking of death, death doesn't have any patience as he took me without even achieving anything.

A feeling of great sorrow, sadness, and guilt envelop me.

I felt cheated wasting all of my time studying so I could get a degree but all of it was disappeared like a popped bubble.

I felt sadness for not even having the luxury to finish the series I've been watching my whole life.

Sadness knowing that I'll never see my family again.

Sadness knowing they're in pain after learning about my death.

And strong guilt for my parents thinking how I didn't even have a chance to repay them for all they did.

Guilt knowing I no longer fulfill my promises to them, a beautiful house, a luxury car, a life without worry about being hungry.

And after that.....the dream ended.

I was standing at my very funeral, watching my family grieving at my death when suddenly the surrounding slowly crumbled until nothing was left.

I was left alone in the darkness, all alone with dried tears in my eyes.

"Hello, child." I heard an old ethereal voice coming from behind me.

I turn around and saw a glowing light with a silhouette of an old man around his seventies.

"Who are you?" I ask the old man with confusion plastered on my face.

"My name is nothing important, what all you need to know is I was the one who sent you in that world."

'Sent? does that mean...'

"That's right, the dream you just experience earlier was your past life.

I think it would be a pity for a great man like you to die that's why I reincarnated you in your favorite world."

"wh-what you mean ****** is me?! that's me when in my past life?!!

And if you had sympathized with me, why send me to One piece world and not to my old one???"

"That is indeed you child, as for your second question, It's because of the law of the universe preventing me to bring you back to your world." the glowing deity explains but I still wasn't convinced.

"Why would I trust what you say??" I ask in vigilant, staring at the glowing man to find any suspicious activity.

"Because you have no choice." He replies as a playful smile appeared on his face.

"....right."

"Good, now you listening, I watched your life pass by and knew all your secrets even your fetish toward thighs and your daily mantra 'every hole is a goal.' "

"Just get to the point!" I shouted in shame as my face turn red.

"Hohohoho, I also knew you read fanfiction so im pretty sure you know already knew how this works."

My eyes lit up hearing what the glowing old man said.

It's a general knowledge for fanfiction knowledge about cheats the Mc gets when getting reincarnated.

"That's right, you'll get three wishes but you can't wish for anything luxurious or things that'll make you instant op."

"Why?? can't you just even a single one?"

"Of course, I can, it'll just be boring if you get strong too fast."

"...."

I never thought I would say this but I gotta agree with the old man.

I'm a person who wants to earn all I have and not the type of person who wants to be strong from the start.

"Now then, be wise and thoughtful at your wish, you'll only have three chances."

I nodded and went on deep thought, thinking all I needed to survive in the f*ck up world im in.

"I want a physical talent! whether it was agility, strength, or endurance, I want to have the talent to reach that!"

Talent was all I could think of and I knew how important physical strength was in One piece world, no powerhouse in this world has a weak physique.

"I also want a talent skill-wise, I could be better in anything."

after physique, a technique was the second important thing where people based their lack of physical strength.

"Denied! having a talent in all things was too op.

I only let you choose three skills." The old man denied my wish and propose a more rational one.

I nodded in agreeance and once again fall into deep thought.

"Then I'll choose Haki, Blade Proficiency, and Comprehension!"

These were the three most advantageous talents I could think of.

I sigh in relief seeing the old man nod in agreement as I continue stating my one final wish.

"I want a plot armor! a very big one!"

I said jokingly but was surprised as the old man nodded at my bizarre wish.

"That's all I guess, goodbye child!"

"...EH!!"

The old man waves his hand as he slowly disintegrates while I lose my consciousness.
