Cosmic Editor

Chapter 3: I have the Power!!!

"With how much I've been winning in ranked matches lately, I don't think I have much luck left, but God Abeg!" David prayed in pidgin as he spun the wheel with all his might.

The wheel was too big for him to spin fast enough, but as soon as he spun it, it began speeding up on its own as though compensating for his lack of strength, and after a few seconds of spinning, the wheel began to slow down as David's heart began to beat even faster.

Nervousness gripped his heart as he watched. He predicted the endpoint of the wheel, and it wasn't looking too good. David watched as the wheel slowly moved to the predicted endpoint, which had the words 'Dispatch Sensei' written on it. He didn't know what it meant or how powerful the thing or ability was; he just didn't want it.

"No, No!, No!" David screamed as the wheel slowly began to stop.

"Oh!... thank God! ... yes!" David screamed in joy when the wheel skipped over the ability and ended on another one that sounded a bit powerful, and he could guess what it did.

"Reality Editor? A powerful but incredibly tricky one," the administrator said as the wheel disappeared, but a small orb of light remained behind.

"What's that?" David asked skeptically, especially when he noticed the orb was moving towards him. David tried to dodge it, but the orb just zoomed its way into his body at speeds his eyes couldn't follow.

Reality Editor

Tier 1

A being known to have the final say in the making of things. They possess the capability to change any aspect of reality, space, and time as they wish. All edits made by the editor become law and shall be deemed natural by the laws of the cosmos.

Limitations:

*. Due to the lower tier of power, the editor can only currently make an edit once a month. This is to allow for a speedy recovery, as each edit takes about two years off its lifespan, depending on the edit made.

*. The editor cannot use his or her abilities on themselves directly; however, the use of an edited item is allowed and up to the editor to decide.

*. Though the editor can use any item he or she deems necessary, they cannot make use of any item that grants them infinite power. It will result in their death.

"Damn!" David shouted in shock.

The ability he had gotten was even more than he had expected; he didn't even know this was any different from omnipotence. It had a fancier name, but in simple terms, this was still the change of anything without any repercussions because the universe deems it natural.

As for most of the limitations, he could understand that getting too powerful in one go would never help him because he would surely misuse said power, and he doubted that his current body could handle infinite power, so he understood the last limitation clearly, the same with the second one but the first.

"Hey? What's with the once-a-month rule? I'm the editor; I make the rules," David complained.

"You get the ability to change anything you don't like about the universe? Anything you want, and your first thought is why it's only once a month."

"What about the Tier nonsense?"

"That speaks for itself; you may have the power of a god, but you still reside in a mortal body, and until you can grow enough to fully utilise your powers, you will have to deal with the tiers and ranks and all the other bullshit that comes with it."

"Well, isn't that convenient?"

"That's why I said it was tricky; you will have to find a way to protect yourself during each wait period, and with your powers, that should be fairly easy."

"Well, then I'm guessing it would soon be time for you to go, right?"

"Naturally, you will hear from me again after the event. I hope you survive it."

"With this ability, I will definitely survive," David said confidently.

"Then I wish you luck," the administrator said as the darkness began to recede.

In the next instant, the entire place returned to normal. The bed returned, the windows that showed the sky returned, and some light could finally enter the room. However, that wasn't all. David, who had been standing, was now lying on his bed with his blanket covering him.

The bed returned, and the windows all came back. He could now see the television and all the other parts of the bedroom. David sat on his bed, looking around while feeling crazy about what had just transpired.

"Was that all a dream?" David asked himself as he sat up on the bed. He was so sure that he had stood up from this same bed, but here he was, on it again.

"Administrator? Editor?!" David called out skeptically since he wanted to confirm his theory.

The ability he got was the only thing that could prove that what had happened was real, but unfortunately, he had no idea how it worked. He hadn't even bothered to ask how said ability worked, so now he was stuck; if everything was actually real, then he would die because he didn't ask the administrator how he would use his abilities.

David took a deep breath in order to calm down long enough to think. He picked up his phone to check the time since he still had things planned out for the next day. It was still midnight. Well, forty-five (45) minutes past midnight, but that also meant that he could sleep now and still wake up on time.

"What's this?" David asked when he noticed the blue screen that was floating behind his phone.

"It's real!!" David shouted in excitement.

He still didn't know how to actually use the ability, but this was a start; it allowed him to edit things, so it made sense that it would give him some information concerning most things. David tested the theory by looking at some other objects around the house.
