Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

"Hmm."

"Where am I?"

Corey groaned as he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Realizing he was lying down he tried to sit but a painful groan was released from his mouth the moment he moved.

Although painful, he resisted the pain and finally sat upright. He looked at his body which was covered in bandages and also some ripped clothes.

"What the hell happened to me?"

Corey muttered and just as he did, his head throbbed, making Corey groan. A second later, memories of his fight with the Smileys rushed into his mind, making him to remember what caused his current condition.

"I can't believe I'm still alive."

Corey muttered then looked around, trying to figure out where he was. When he looked, he realized he was in a kitchen of probably a restaurant or a cafeteria.

Just as he was about to stand, the door to the kitchen opened, a teenage boy like Corey entered with a tray in his hands and just as he entered, he paused and the tray slipped off his hands.

Crash!

Shatter!

With widened eyes and a shocked expression, he spoke.

"You're alive and awake?"

He spoke out loud subconsciously, causing Corey to frown. Corey looked at the broken contents of what was on the tray which were a ceramic bowl of water and a towel.

Corey looked back at the boy who was still in a daze.

"Where-"

Bam!

"Mac?!"

As Corey was speaking, the door slammed open causing Corey to pause. He looked at the door where he saw another teenager though this time, the teenager was huge and his clothes looking like they were about to be ripped apart by his muscles.

'If you want to be big, be big but at least buy bigger clothes. Are you a woman?'

Corey had this weird thought born out of envy and looked at the man who was looking at the first teenage boy that came in, seeing the teenage boy not responding to his call, the huge teenager looked at Corey with threatening eyes.

"What did you do you bastard?"

He questioned threateningly and removed the giant sword which was strapped unto his back stunning Corey.

'How come I didn't see that before?'

Corey had a baffled look on his face as he looked at the giant sword which was held with one arm by the huge teenager.

'Muscle head must have a lot of strength to carry something as large as that with one hand.'

Corey thought as he observed muscle head in front of him calmly. Despite the situation, he was not worried because he also had his own weapon which he would use to strike muscle head in front of him with a deadly blow if he dared to attack him.

'As long as I have Smile Reaper I-'

'Wait Smile Reaper?'

Corey's eyes widened and he looked around in panic. He touched his chest, his waist, his leg, even his hair.

But he found nothing, no Smile Reaper, even his kitchen knives were gone.

"Where the fuck is my Smile Reaper?!"

Corey roared and looked at the muscle head in front of him with anger.

He could not lose Smile Reaper

That was his baby

That was the only thing he had that could kill a Smiley!!

He hated The Smileys to death

How was he meant to have his revenge if he did not have Smile Reaper?!!

If he doesn't get his Smile Reaper back, there would be blood!!

The muscle head was stunned seeing Corey's expression of anger. It was more like borderline madness in his eyes.

"What's wrong with him and what the fuck is Smile Reaper?"

Mat, the muscle head muttered as he looked at Corey's expression and for the first time in Mat's life, he took a step back due to fear from the expression of somebody.

Just as the tension in the room was about to explode, a voice rang out from outside the room.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Corey looked at the entrance of the kitchen and the moment he did, a surprised expression appeared on his face, his anger dissipating.

"Kyle?"

Corey spoke with surprise in his tone as he looked at the tall handsome twenty year old young man with glasses on his face who just walked into the kitchen. The man pushed up his glasses and looked at Corey calmly.

"Zane."

He paused then looked around. Looking at the broken bowl, spilled water and Mat's unstrapped great sword, he frowned.

"What's going on here?"

Although he spoke calmly, Corey's danger sense whistled very softly causing Corey to be stunned.

'Is he that strong?'

Corey wondered and looked at his friend, or one of the friends he cut off from. Just as Corey was looking at him, the boy, Mac, who came in with the tray, spoke.

"Sorry boss. I was stunned that this guy was alive and awake and because of that I dropped the tray. Brother Mat heard the sound of the tray falling and rushed in here, thinking I was in danger and a fight was about to happen. I'm sorry, it's my fault for been slow to react."

Corey turned towards the boy and although he seemed frail and fragile, the boy was calm as he spoke.

"Hmm. Also, I was the one that treated him so there was no way he would have died or not woken up."

Kyle spoke with hidden pride in his voice and turned towards Corey.

"Are you okay Zane?"

He questioned and Corey nodded his head slightly as he spoke.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Corey paused for a second then spoke. "Uhmm. Do you know where my Smile Reaper is?"

Corey questioned and Kyle had a confused expression.

"Smile Reaper?"

"Sorry I meant my dagger."

Corey with an embarrassed look clarified and Kyle looked at him strangely. He wanted to say something but decided not to and brought out Smile Reaper from his back pocket causing Corey's expression to brighten.

"Why do you call it smile reaper? The name the Universal System gave it was ghost reaper."

Kyle questioned, looking at Corey with a curious look and Corey, without thinking spoke.

"To obviously kill Smileys. It's meant to rip out their creepy smiles."

The moment Corey spoke, Kyle had a weird look on his face and looked at Corey strangely, even Mac and Mat looked at him weirdly.

"Smileys?... Or do you mean the revenants?"

Kyle questioned and Corey shrugged.

"Does it matter. Smiley, Revenant, whatever. As long as they have the same creepy smile to me, they're all smileys."

Corey said and Kyle looked at him blankly. Mac and Mat looked at each other and Mat rotated his finger by his head, saying 'This guy is loco' and Mac nodded in agreement.

"Are you mentally alright?" Kyle asked.

"…Probably not…" Corey paused "but I should get better… I hope." Corey said, then looked at the dagger.

"Can I have Smile Reaper by the way?"

Kyle looked at him for a few seconds then threw the dagger to him. Corey due to his agility and intelligence, was able to catch the dagger by it's handle making Kyle's eyes to glint behind his glasses.

Average people would normally let the dagger land on the floor before picking it and would definitely not catch it mid-air.

Corey's actions made various thoughts to run through Kyle's mind.

"If you can walk, follow me. Let me show you the remaining survivors."

Kyle said and starting walking towards the door.

Meanwhile Kyle's words made Corey's eyes to brighten.

"Survivors? How many survivors are there?" Corey stood and followed Kyle with a grimace. The pain was much higher than he expected.

"Here? Not much. Approximately 20 people." Kyle replied and Corey wanted to speak but Kyle spoke before he could.

"By the way. Can you tell me what you wished for?"

Corey looked at Kyle strangely but after thinking for some time, he answered. "I wished for wisdom."

Although Kyle was once his friend, he did not want to tell anybody he wished for Unlimited wisdom, knowledge and understanding. If anybody asked, he wished for wisdom.

Meanwhile Kyle, after hearing Corey's reply, he stopped and turned to look at him.

And with a blank expression, he spoke.

"Wisdom?"

"Yes, wisdom." Corey was confused and looked at Kyle with a questioning expression.

Kyle looked at Corey's face for a few more seconds and as if confirming something, turned around and muttered.

"Are you sure the Universal System didn't cheat you and make you more stupid?"

The moment he spoke, a vein popped in Corey's head and he spoke with restrained anger.

"I heard that you, you bastard."

Kyle turned his head towards Corey slightly and then turned back.

"That was the point."
