Chapter 2 — Cosmic Editor

He didn’t know if it was because he couldn’t feel any intent to harm from the voice or that he felt the voice was familiar for some reason. He didn’t truly know; all he knew was that he was a lot calmer than he felt he should be in this situation.
The logical explanation should be that the being was making him calm, but he felt he was like this more because he had imagined this same scene multiple times in the past.

At this point, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen. He didn’t know exactly how it would happen, but he could guess that either planet Earth or the entire universe itself would undergo some sort of awakening to bring us to a higher stage of some kind. It was a common trope in Korean Manhwas, just that he wasn’t sure if this one would be like the Manhwas.

Being an author, especially a fantasy writer, means that you must have a very active imagination. Think of every possible ridiculous scenario you can imagine, then put it in a way that the readers would enjoy.
Whatever scenario was playing out now, he could guess where it would lead him, but only if he played things smart. In simple terms, this administrator, in his words, was a being that ruled over an entire section of the multiverse.
Basically, the god in charge of our sector of space and time, which could possibly mean the universe or part of the Multiverse, was so high up that the gods were below them, and apparently the world was about to go through some sort of change.
The only problem here was that the administrator refused to tell him what sort of change was to be expected. Would it mean an invasion from higher-world forces or just a simple introduction of a new element to the world? He had no idea what was to happen.

As the wheel appeared, the bed beside him vanished, leaving him alone in complete darkness with the wheel, which somehow produced enough light to make the dark space not feel dark. David walked up to the wheel to scrutinise it a bit, only to find it just like the ones one would find at any game show.
However, unlike the ones in the game shows, this one was so massive that he couldn’t see the top, and the administrator seemed to have taken that into consideration as the needle pointing out the selected option was placed at the bottom of the wheel where he could see it.
As for the options written on the wheel, David read through all that he could see, and the more he read, the wider his eyes got as he saw some absurd abilities, items, and other things that he doubted he would need to survive any event. Some of the options here would make him so overpowered that this wouldn’t even be a trial at all.

He may not know what some of the options on the wheel did, like the guns of chaos and the heavenly RV, but he did know what author authority and omnipotence were. Those were abilities that would basically make him a god on Earth; they would render the event useless… He could just erase its source and be done with it.
