The Void remained silent.
The countless worlds floating around him continued to shine.
Each one carrying infinite possibilities.
The human stared at them.
A few hours ago...
They were only stories.
Imaginations.
Entertainment.
Now...
They were real.
Every universe he ever wondered about.
Every impossible world.
Every fantasy.
Existing somewhere in this endless ocean of reality.
............................
ROB watched him carefully.
Most souls who reached the Void reacted the same way.
Shock.
Greed.
Desire.
They saw endless worlds and immediately wanted power.
Immortality.
Absolute strength.
Control over everything.
But this human was different.
He was excited...
But he was thinking.
"What are you considering?"
ROB asked.
The human looked at him.
"I know this kind of situation."
ROB tilted his head.
"What do you mean?"
The human gave a small smile.
"I have read stories like this before."
"A normal person dies, reaches some mysterious place, meets an existence beyond understanding, and gets a chance to make wishes."
ROB looked amused.
"Then you already know what you should ask for?"
The human stayed silent.
Then shook his head.
"No."
"Because most people make the same mistake."
"They ask for power."
ROB's expression changed slightly.
"Is power not useful?"
"It is."
The human looked at the countless universes.
"But power alone is boring."
"A person who receives everything without growth..."
"Doesn't really experience anything."
............................
The human thought about his old life.
His fascination with stories.
His curiosity about unknown worlds.
His respect for both creation and destruction.
A dragon.
A human.
A monster.
A god.
A machine.
Every existence was different.
But every existence had something to teach.
Then he looked back at ROB.
"I don't want a weapon."
"I don't want a servant."
"I want a companion."
ROB became silent.
The Void itself seemed to react.
"Explain."
The human took a breath.
"I want something that can grow with me."
"Something that can connect with other beings."
"Something that can understand different existences."
"And through those connections..."
"Create something new."
............................
For the first time...
ROB looked genuinely interested.
"Most souls ask to stand above others."
"But you wish to stand alongside them."
A small smile appeared.
"Interesting."
Bhai 😎 done. I'll rewrite Chapter 3 with the smoother transition:
Chapter 2 connection maintained
ROB asks his name first
Ayaan remains his original identity
Synaris appears as something earned through the Origin Symbiote bond, not randomly added
Start Travelling from Indian MultiverseChapter 3: The First Wish — The Birth of Synaris
The Void remained silent.
A silence that existed before creation.
A place where time had no meaning and distance had no value.
Countless universes floated around Ayaan like countless drops in an endless ocean.
Worlds of magic.
Worlds of science.
Worlds where humans were not the strongest beings.
Worlds where myths were reality.
Ayaan stared at them.
A few moments ago...
They were only stories.
Now...
They were waiting for him.
............................
ROB watched him quietly.
Unlike many souls who arrived here...
Ayaan was not screaming.
Not begging.
Not demanding.
He was observing.
Thinking.
"You are calmer than expected."
ROB spoke.
Ayaan looked at him.
"Maybe because I have read too many stories like this."
ROB tilted his head.
"Stories?"
Ayaan smiled slightly.
"Stories where someone dies, meets an unknown powerful being, and gets a chance to make wishes."
"A second chance."
"A new world."
"New abilities."
ROB looked amused.
"Then you already know what you want?"
Ayaan became silent.
Then he shook his head.
"No."
"Because I think most people make the wrong first choice."
............................
ROB asked:
"And what is the wrong choice?"
Ayaan looked at the infinite universes.
"Power."
"Everyone wants something that makes them unbeatable."
"Something that puts them above everyone else."
He paused.
"Power is useful."
"But power without experience..."
"Without understanding..."
"Is just another limitation."
............................
ROB smiled.
"Then tell me."
"What do you desire?"
For the first time since entering the Void...
Ayaan thought about it seriously.
His old life.
His curiosity.
His love for stories.
His fascination with beings beyond humanity.
Dragons.
Demons.
Gods.
Monsters.
Heroes.
Villains.
Every existence had something unique.
Every existence had something worth understanding.
Finally...
He answered.
"I want a companion."
ROB became silent.
Ayaan continued:
"Something that can grow with me."
"Something that can evolve."
"Something that can connect with other beings without changing who they are."
"Something that can help different existences understand each other..."
"And become something greater together."
............................
The Void reacted.
The countless energies around them started moving.
ROB looked genuinely interested.
"Most souls wish for a throne."
"Most wish to rule."
"But you..."
"You wish to create a connection."
............................
ROB raised his hand.
"Before your wish is granted..."
"There is something important."
Ayaan looked at him.
"What?"
"Your name."
Ayaan froze slightly.
His name.
Something so simple.
Something from his old life.
After everything...
He almost forgot.
"My name is..."
"Ayaan."
ROB repeated.
"Ayaan."
A small smile appeared.
"A name represents the person who carries it."
"Let us see what that person becomes."
............................
The energy of the Void began gathering.
Not from one universe.
Not from one species.
But from countless possibilities.
A new existence started forming.
Not a weapon.
Not an artifact.
Not a simple ability.
A living companion.
A new beginning.
............................
[Origin Symbiote has been created]
A voice echoed.
The human felt something connect with his soul.
Not painful.
Not forced.
Like meeting someone who had always been there.
A presence.
A partner.
A second existence.
............................
ROB explained:
"This is not a normal symbiote."
"It will not steal."
"It will not control."
"It will evolve."
The human listened carefully.
"Its first ability is simple."
"Evolution."
"Anything you experience can become a path of growth."
"The second is connection."
"Those who form a true bond with it may share understanding and traits."
"But remember..."
"Evolution depends on the individual."
"The same power will not create the same result in everyone."
............................
The human smiled.
"So a dragon and a wolf won't become the same thing?"
ROB nodded.
"Correct."
"Their origin, nature, and experiences will decide what they become."
"The same root can create different branches."
............................
The human looked at the symbiote.
A thought appeared.
This was not a power.
It was the beginning of a family.
............................
ROB raised his hand.
"There is one more thing."
The human looked up.
"Your wish created a connection-based existence."
"Eventually, it may learn to connect with things beyond individuals."
"The possibilities are unknown."
"Even worlds themselves."
The human's eyes widened.
"Worlds?"
ROB smiled.
"Do not assume evolution has limits."
............................
The human understood.
He did not wish for travel.
He did not wish for infinite power.
He wished for something that could one day reach beyond limits.
............................
ROB opened a portal.
A new universe appeared.
A world different from Earth.
A world where myths were not just stories.
Where humans and supernatural beings existed together.
The human looked at the portal.
His first journey was waiting.
ROB smiled.
"Welcome to your first destination."
"The beginning of your multiverse journey."
