Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

BOOOM!!!!

The whole earth trembled as twelve different places on the planet experienced cataclysmic changes.

The dormitory Corey was in trembled due to the earthquake that occurred.

"Shit!" Corey cursed as he narrowly dodged a falling debris. Corey ran to his wardrobe and hid inside as he knew that was the safest spot in his room.

The dormitory trembled for a few more seconds before it stopped, though Corey still hid in his wardrobe to make sure everything was actually safe. After confirming that it was safe, he came out, only to find his room in shambles.

"Arghhh!!!!"

As he was about to move, he heard a scream coming from outside and he moved to the window to take a look, but the moment he did, fear gripped his heart.

"Help me!! Help me!!"

"Stop!! Don't come closer!!"

"Arghhhh!!!"

"What happened to you Jake?!! Why are you doing this?! Arghhh!!!"

"My leggg!!!"

Pandemonium!

Chaos!

Corey could see students fighting each other. There were at least a hundred students who gathered together outside and now each and everyone of them were fighting against themselves.

Death!

Screams of agony!

Pleads!

Corey could hear and see everything and he stood in shock for at least five seconds before he snapped out of it.

He walked to his bed quickly and started searching his bag, all the while cursing.

"I knew it! I just fucking knew it! That wish screen was bad, fucking evil piece of shit."

As he rummaged through his bag, he threw a lot of stuffs away, like his books and some other educational stuffs.

Ever since his sister told him that her wish was granted, he did not feel safe about the wish screen at all and was already preparing his mind for a chaotic world. He did not wish for super powers but fucking wisdom and now he had no way to defend himself.

'Maybe if I did not cut off all my friends I would have known about everyone been granted a wish and I would not have made a wish like wisdom.'

Corey thought and then shook his head to rid himself of sad thoughts. He focused on searching his bag and a few seconds later, he brought out two kitchen knives.

"This should at least grant me some protection." Corey muttered then his mind went to his sister who wished for superpowers.

"Oh I'm so fucking dead." Corey cursed and then inhaled and exhaled. He placed one kitchen knife in his trousers and then used his t-shirt to cover it.

He could hear the screams coming from outside his room and he knew it was going to be very dangerous. He also knew he definitely could not hide in his room forever since it was hundred percent not a safe place.

He walked up to the door and then knelt. He checked the space underneath the door to make sure there was no shadow of anything or anybody in front of his door. After making sure there was none, he stepped out, gripping the knife tightly.

The moment he stepped out, his face changed and his heartbeat quickened. There were dead bodies in the hall way. Blood, flesh and debris filled the hallway.

Corey inhaled and exhaled to calm his fragile and scared heart.

"You can do this Corey. You already guessed that this might happen. You've prepared your mind for this. You've got this!" Corey muttered to himself, trying to rile himself up. He then raised his hand up and slapped himself.

PA!

"Ow! That fucking hurt."

He rubbed his cheek and when he was about to start moving, he heard a growl coming from behind him.

Grrrr!

He turned to the back shakily and what he saw frightened him. One of the human corpse on the floor stood up shakily with it's back facing Corey. A corpse rising back from the dead won't have frightened Corey as much as this one did.

What frightened Corey was that,

The corpse head was facing backwards with a fist sized hole in it's chest!!

Which meant that it's dead eyes were currently staring at Corey, even though it's back was Corey.

Corey stood rooted on the spot not knowing what to do. He was scared, truly scared. He didn't know how to deal with this.

He looked at the corpse and he could see that the corpse was that of a female. The corpse then smiled at Corey sending shivers down Corey's spine. Just as he was about to make a break for it, something weird happened.

One of the doors behind the corpse in the hallway opened quietly. A teenage skinny boy walked out of the door holding a baseball bat and then quietly walked to the corpse.

The corpse unaware kept on looking at Corey. Meanwhile Corey looked at the boy and he could see the boy giving him a signal to just stay where he is, distracting the corpse.

Corey was tempted to let the corpse become aware of the boy behind it, but after thinking about it. He was not that ruthless and besides if the boy could kill the corpse, it would be better.

When the boy got close to the corpse, he raised the bat up and with all his might, no matter how small it was, smashed the bat unto the corpse head.

PA! PA! PA!

The boy repeatedly smashed the head of the corpse until it stopped moving and the head became unrecognizable. Meanwhile Corey's mouth was open as he was shocked at the boy's ruthlessness, especially after seeing the boy's physique.

"Hahh, Hahh, Hahh."

Corey heard the boy panting and took a step forward.

"Are you okay?" He asked but the boy did not respond, until a second later he started laughing.

"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

"This is just like the novels I've read! An apocalypse happens and people turn into zombies and the zombies would eventually give exps. I'm definitely going to become like a protagonist and do my best. I'll definitely become the strongest! No more people bullying me! I'll have plenty women like those protagonists and I'll also become a King!! Hahahahaha."

"But that damn universal system, it cheated me! I asked for a system which would have free lucky roulettes but the damn system said IT IS THE SYSTEM! it has given me and it only gave me one damn free lucky roulette! The rest I have to pay to spin the roulette wheel! In fact after spinning it, It only gave me a pill that increased my strength and agility by 1 point each! What a fucking scam!!"

As the boy kept on rambling, Corey kept on looking at him with a weird look.

'One of those weird shut-ins.' Corey thought and just as he was about to move closer to the boy, he stopped and saw something that totally spooked him.

A translucent mist rose up from the corpse and went straight towards the boy. Due to the boy's mindless rambling, he was unaware of the mist and the mist drilled into his body.

"Arghhh!!!"

"Help me! Help me!!"

The boy shook, screamed and pleaded. He stretched out his arms towards Corey pleading with Corey to help but Corey too scared about the unknown, dared not to take a step towards him. In fact he took a step back.

The boys screams continued for a few more seconds and then it died down, with his head hung low though he was still on his feet.

Corey unaware of what the heck was happening spoke from a distance, tightening his grip on his kitchen knife.

"Uhmm. Hey. Are you… uhmm… alright?"

As Corey spoke, he saw the boy's finger twitch. Corey took a step back because of precaution and his feeling of something been wrong.

As he continued taking steps backward. The boy finally raised his head and looked at Corey. Although it looked like there was nothing wrong with the boy, what raised alarm bells in Corey's head was that the same smile the corpse had when it was facing him, the boy or whatever it was also had it.

"Uhmm. Hello and…"

Before Corey finished speaking, the boy's mouth opened much much wider than it should, and a roar was released from the boy.

Roarrr!!!

"…Goodbye."

Corey ran with all his might and the boy, no, monster behind him chased after him!

Crash!

Bang!

Roarrr!!!

Corey toppled some waste bins and also whatever he could topple, trying to reduce the monster's speed.

He was scared, he was afraid and he was panting hard.

The monster was slightly faster than him which was not a surprise considering Corey rarely played sports and never worked out.

As he kept on running, he saw the stairs leading to the top most floor and without hesitation he climbed the stairs since he knew there was a dead end at the front.

The monster still hot on his tracks followed him roaring with anger.

Corey with fear in his heart thought of what to do as he climbed the stairs leading to top most floor. His speed reduced and the monster resulted to using it's hands and legs to climb the stairs instead, shortening the distance between Corey and it.

Corey not wanting to lose his life ran with all his might even though his muscles were starting to ache. As he climbed the last step, he saw the closest room on the hallway and opened it, wanting to enter before the monster emerged from the stairs.

But the moment he put a foot inside the room, he stopped due to what he saw inside the room.

Four monsters.

One had tentacles as it's chin and was wearing a chef's apron while holding a spatula, the second had several eyes on it's forehead and had a tentacle as it's hands, the third was bigger than the rest and had small eyes, it was also wearing a suit, the last had the body of tree roots and intestines with a 'human' face and was sitting on a chair in front a table. And on this table was a cake with three candles on it.

Behind the monsters were birthday decorations and on the wall was written Happy Birthday.

Corey looked at the monsters blankly and the monsters looked back at him.

"Uhmm... Wrong room." Corey said, backing away softly and slowly, while closing the door quietly and slowly.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

BANG!

The moment he closed the door, the door trembled and Corey fearful that the door would break down ran for his life with a depressed and miserable look.

"Who the fuck sent me to wish for wisdom?!!"
