Chapter 7: Owen
What would it be like to have a family of my own? A little girl or boy laughing, a partner to share everything with... He smiled softly in his sleep, feeling content in his dream. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the dream, pulling him from his peaceful vision.
"Owen Gardon, from Planet Earth 54869 that is destroyed, son of Ollen Gardon and Welma Uni."
Owen's eyes widened as he looked around, unable to contain his excitement. "Oh shit! Are you God?! Am I getting isekai'd?"
The figure, glowing and majestic, seemed surprised. "It seems I don't have to explain more. Owen Gardon, you have been given another chance."
Owen could hardly believe it. "This is amazing! I get to start over! So, what happens now? What about Hiroshi, he's my friend?!"
"Hiroshi will be reincarnated too. He's next after you. Since you're excited, please remain still," the god said calmly.
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't I get to wish? Like, what do I want?" Owen asked, his mind racing with possibilities.
Owen's thoughts raced as he imagined what abilities he would have in the new world.
"I want to be able to absorb heat, feeling the warmth flow through me like a protective shield. I need to be flexible, able to squeeze into tight spaces and slip through any barrier.
