"Hmm." Corey groaned as he stood up from his kneeling position.

"Tch." He rubbed his face in annoyance as he walked to the bathroom in his room to ease himself. freew(e)bnovel

Flush

"What the fuck is this light?" Corey put his hand in front of his face in annoyance and started walking out of the bathroom. Still half-asleep, he could not see the source of light in front of his face.

Bam

"Fucking hell!" Corey rubbed his head in anger as he looked at the wall he hit. He turned his head and looked at the door he missed due to him covering his face from the annoying light.

"What's this?" No longer half-asleep, he could finally see the source of the light which has been disturbing him, the translucent screen.

IF YOU COULD BE GRANTED ONE WISH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

REMAINING TIME: 00:02:03

"What the fuck is this? One wish? Am I dreaming or am I finally crazy?" Corey questioned himself and looked around. He could not find anything odd, his bathroom was the same as always.

He turned towards the screen once again and saw a difference.

REMAINING TIME: 00:01:57

As he looked at the screen, he decided to go to his room and sit on his bed. After sitting on his bed he looked around his room and could see that his room still looked the same. He rolled up his sleeves to make sure nobody injected him while he was asleep, after seeing nothing different on his body, he rubbed his forehead.

He looked at the screen and saw that the remaining time was now one minute thirty seconds. He put his hand to touch the screen but his hand just phased through it.

"Yep, I'm tripping. I don't know how but I'm definitely tripping." Corey said and then laid his head on his back.

He tried to ignore the screen but it was always in his face. He tried to close his eyes and go back to sleep but the words on the screen always came to his mind.

A wish.

One wish.

'Is this from Ogun?' Corey wondered and looked at the screen.

He remembered what the pope told him about King Solomon, he also remembered how he asked for some things and for him to take his pain away. Now he was wondering if this was Ogun's way of answering him.

"Should I try it?" Corey questioned himself and looked at the screen. His eyes turned to the timer.

00:00:50

He had less than a minute left.

Corey inhaled softly and then exhaled. He decided to try it.

"Now what do I wish for?" Corey wondered and thought.

The main reason he asked for wisdom from Ogun was because he wanted to pass his upcoming exams, he wanted to be rewarded for his hard work.

But if he could wish for anything, could he not wish for wealth? The main reason he was studying medicine was so that he could become rich in the future.

If he could just wish for wealth, then what was the point of asking for wisdom?

He got up from his resting position and sat on his bed.

"I wish for-"

Just as he was about to wish for wealth, he paused.

He remembered King Solomon. He was wise, rich and had a harem of a thousand women. The pope told him he asked for wisdom from his God.

So he was wondering if he should ask for wisdom from Ogun? Could he use his wisdom to get rich and also a lot of women?.

The more he thought of it, the more appealing it seemed to him.

If he had wisdom, he would know how to make money and if he had money, women would flock to him. He could ask for wealth directly, and from the wealth he could get women.

But why should he settle for wealth and women when he could get wealth, women and wisdom. Three is better than two right?.

"I wish for-"

Just as Corey was about to speak once more, a thought came to his mind.

Why couldn't he wish for more than one wish?

The thought of that made him laugh in happiness.

"Hahahahahaha. I'm the wisest. Why do I need to wish for one thing when I can wish for more than one thing?"

After laughing one more time, he spoke.

"I wish for more than one wish." He decided not to be too greedy and not ask for infinite wishes. Who knows whether Ogun will strike him down with Flames for been too greedy, the thought of it sent shivers down his spine.

Corey rubbed his hand in anticipation and looked at the screen, waiting for his more than one wish. He looked at the timer and saw that he only had ten seconds left.

Just as he was waiting he saw the screen turn red.

REQUEST DENIED

CANNOT WISH FOR ANOTHER WISH

WARNING: DO NOT WISH FOR MORE THAN ONE WISH ONCE AGAIN OR THERE WOULD BE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.

When Corey read the warning, a shiver came from his soul and he trembled slightly. He quickly bowed towards the screen.

"I'm sorry Lord Ogun. I'm sorry for trying to outsmart a Great God like you. Please forgive me."

After bowing he looked at the screen and his eye moved towards the timer. He saw that he only had six seconds left and he panicked slightly.

His free wish from Lord Ogun was about to leave!

"I wish for wisdom." After he spoke, the screen changed.

REQUESTING CONFIRMATION

ARE YOU SURE?

Jeffrey was about to say yes but a thought came to his mind and he decided to take a gamble. He looked at the timer and saw three more seconds left, so he spoke quickly.

"I wish for unlimited wisdom, knowledge and understanding."

Corey looked at the screen and was wondering if his wish would be accepted since he was technically wishing for more than one thing. He was ready to quickly wish for only wisdom if his wish was rejected.

REQUESTING CONFIRMATION

ARE YOU SURE?

Corey looked at the time and saw only one second left, so he quickly spoke.

"Yes!" He spoke louder than normal in case Lord Ogun would not hear him.

REQUEST ACCEPTED

REQUEST WOULD BE GRANTED IN TWELVE HOURS

As soon as those words appeared on the screen, the timer reached zero and the screen disappeared.

"Phew." Corey released a breath the moment the screen disappeared. He had been holding his breath unconsciously.

"Thank God it worked." Corey sighed and laid on his back with his head on his pillow.

"But still who gives somebody only two minutes to think of a wish. Somebody would just go and make a rash wish." Corey said, not knowing everybody was given three hours.

"It's better I keep quiet, what if Lord Ogun decides to take my wish away cause he thinks I'm an ingrate." Corey muttered and then looked at the clock on the wall in his room.

The time showed 12:00am.

"So that means I'll have to wait till 12pm tomorrow to know whether I was actually tripping or not." Corey muttered as he looked at the clock, his heart full of hope and anticipation.

"I hope I was not actually dreaming or tripping." Corey muttered and then fell asleep. His heart full of hope and his mind thinking he was the only one that 'Lord Ogun' granted the opportunity.

Not knowing that every human on New Earth was also granted that same opportunity and that New Earth was currently in an uproar and a lot of people were waiting for time to fast forward to 12p.m. the next day.
