Shiro looked around, his eyes darting to every section in the sterile white room – it felt like he was going insane, but at the same time Shiro was now too scared to speak.
The disembodied voice sensed Shiro's stillness and spoke again. "It seems you've quieted down, meaning i can finally explain your situation without you interrupting me."
Shiro felt like the room was spinning – felt his breathing fasten – but he desperately tries to calm himself down before he had a panic attack.
Shiro leaned his back against the wall and wanted to say something to the voice, but decides not to and let the voice explain things over.
The disembodied voice, who had waited for Shiro to calm down, spoke again. "Now, let me begin by explaining where you are."
Shiro looked down at the ground, looking at his hands and questioning whether he was real or not.
"Your in a pocket dimension – more specifically, your consciousness is in a pocket dimension." The disembodied voice stops, giving Shiro some time to process the new information before continuing. "I brought you here and you can think of me as a.. omnipotent higher being – and im bored."
Shiro looked up from his hands at one of the walls, he didnt know where to look at but he figured if the voice was omnipotent, he was already looking at it. "Because your bored? You took my consciousness into a pocket dimension BECAUSE YOUR BORED?!"
The voice stayed silent for a while, knowing Shiro's reaction was understandable. "Yes.. but you have nothing to worry about, your still very much alive – just think of this as a sort of dream – and i can promise you, if you hear me out, this could be good for the both of us."
"Good for the both of us..? GOOD FOR THE BOTH OF US?! How am i supposed to trust a supposed OMNIPOTENT HIGHER BEING WHO KIDNAPPED ME!" Shiro yelled at the wall – furious and accusatory – looking like a loose insane asylum patient.
The voice laughed, amused by Shiro's anger. "I understand why you're not willing to listen to me, but i can assure you that this'll benefit us both achieving what we want – you want to correct the world right?"
Shiro paused when he heard the voice speak what he most desired. He indeed wanted to correct the world, wanted to undo all the mistakes of humanity and make the world a better place – rid of all the corruption and the disgusting people that inhabit it.
"Fine, i guess I'll listen.. so tell me what your offering and why you chose me.." Shiro said, slightly hesitant about hia decision but for the most part – he was willing to hear the voice out.
The voice chuckles, slightly amazed that he was willing to hear him out just after that. "Well, theres a few reasons why i chose you – but long story short, i chose you because i found you entertaining.. and after millenia's of living, entertainmemt is what i seek."
After hearing Shiro not say anything back, the voice continued to speak. "In turn for entertainment, I'll grant you three wishes – whatever you want, but with slight.. modifications to suit my enjoyment."
Shiro's eyes widened at the voice's words, not even taking into account what the voice said in the end. "Three wishes? Whatever i want? Yeah im for sure dreaming.. but if im not.."
"Alright then.. three wishes? No problem, for my first wish – i wish to be able to grow infinitely stronger and be able to possess any power i want!" Shiro shouted, thinking about all the posibilities that could come from it, but he was also sure it wont be real. "Man.. that kinda sounds like AFO from MHA.."
"Oh? Now thats gonna be an intresting one.. and enjoyable for sure.." The voice said – if he had an avatar he would be gleaming with joy from all the things he could do.
Shiro paused, thinking long and hard about any other things he could wish into the world – not yet fully realizing the extent of these wishes.
Shiro thought back to what the disembodied voice said, "He wants entertainment right..?" and began to wonder what would make the world more entertaining – then an idea came into his head. "I wanna change the world.. yes – but maybe this'll just be a sidequest.. i bet they wont be that threatening if my first wish is as strong as im hoping it to be!"
And now, the foolish, childhish boy known as Shiro, began to hope that this was real.
"Alright! Uhm.. for my second wish – i wish for there to be.. hm.. lets say, villains / monsters.. because you want entertainment right?" The boy said with a proud look on his face as if he's doing the world a favour.
If the voice could smile, it would be one big grin. "Oh i knew i chose right.. now, what would your last wish be..?"
Shiro pondered, thinking hard about what he wanted his last wish to be, but he couldnt think of anything. "Hm.. i dont know for now, maybe I'll save that wish for another time.."
"I see, well the wishes you already made are intresting enough." The voice said, their voice dripping with excitement "Well, whenever you plan on using your last wish, just call upon me and I'll bring you back here."
And before Shiro could reply back, the walls around him crumbled – within moments the pocket dimension dissapeared – and Shiro was thrown back into the empty void that is space, unable to breathe.
Until Deya woke him up.
To present time – the end of the final schoolday :
As the last bell for the day rang; everyone rushed to pack their stuff, some even bolted out of their classrooms – it was chaos, but thats how it was everytime.
After the initial wave of students left, there were only a handful left on campus and among them was Shiro and Deya.
"Shiro! SHIRO!" The brunette shouted, yanking at Shiro's ear. "Are you deliberately ignoring me? Im talking to you, you dummy!"
Shiro was in a daze, half shocked half excited as he saw a blueish game like screen float infront of him. His eyes were glued onto something others couldnt see.
"The wishes.. that means, it wasnt fake..? It wasnt just a dream.. it was real."
