Chapter 2
by crisdemos
You go to sleep...
An incredible dream...
"Hello, John Doe."
You open your eyes, suddenly startled by the voice around you. Looking around you, you discover that you are no longer in your bed. The space around you is very strange. It is white, but it is also black. it is empty, and yet it is a beautiful paradise. There is no light, but you can see perfectly.
"I know you have many questions, John Doe. For now I will answer the most important one. You are here because you have come to my attention, and I wish to change your life for the better."
You can't see who is talking to you, but their voice is just as strange as where you are. Their are a man, but also a woman. Their are both and neither. Their are one voice, but many at the same time. It is soft and loving, but deep and severe. It sounds adorably innocent and seductively lustful at the same time.
"I wish to grant you a series of powers, my friend. You will be a kind of superhuman in your world. Although you will have to unlock your potential slowly, since your human essence must slowly adapt to changes, and the full potential of these powers is sealed. You will only be able to release the seal temporarily and it will depend on your circumstances."
The voice stops speaking for a moment, giving you time to process the information it is providing, but it soon resumes.
"You will have to choose between four different beings. One of them will merge with you."
As the being finishes speaking, four spheres suddenly appear floating before you. You cannot tell what color they are or what material they are made of. Before you can ask, the apparent god continues to explain.
"The first one is artificial, at least in the technological sense of the term, since all of them are artificial. I created them myself, after all."
The god clearly sounds proud.
"It is made up of hundreds of symbiotic nanomachines. It contains the knowledge of hundreds of worlds about all kinds of sciences and technologies, human and alien. Unfortunately, its full potential takes a lot of energy to unlock. As you gain knowledge, you will be able to create increasingly powerful power supplies, but you'll have to grow slowly."
The god pauses for a moment, giving you time to process.
"The second being is literally a biological superorganism. It contains the genetics and biology of a multitude of powerful beings. Your body will have to slowly adapt and evolve to assimilate all of its capabilities. Unlike the previous being, it will not give you any information, unless it's directly encoded in the genes, so you'll have to learn everything on your own."
"The third of them is the perfect magical being. You could consider it a conscious grimoire. It not only has the knowledge of a multitude of magics, but also the necessary magics. You will unlock different magics as your body adapts."
"Lastly, the fourth symbiote is a spiritual being. It lacks genetics, technology, or magic, but it will give you access to a multitude of spiritual abilities. Of course, your body and mind will be unable to withstand all that power at once, for what you will have to evolve to unlock the full potential of this spirit."
"Now you must choose, John Doe. Just focus on one of them and it will be drawn to you, merging with you..."
What being will you choose?

More Than Human.
Someone in the multiverse grants you incredible powers.
You are an average nerd without too many redeeming characteristics. Even your intelligence doesn't help you as it relies entirely on your geek knowledge. You know everything there is to know about video games, movies, comics... You never thought this would be useful, but it sounds like you've caught the attention of someone important. And powerful. And divine. Welcome to your new life.
