Let's say that ROB contacts you and gives you the powers of a 1st level warlock with a genie patron. In addition, you immediately get access to the Wish spell (usable once per day) but only to duplicate the effects of other spells 8th level or lower. Spells duplicated in this way are cast as if using a 9th level spell slot and you can also apply metamagic.
ROB then tasks you with saving the world, helping the downtrodden, uplifting humanity, and generally put this incredibly broken superpower to good use. If you use your power to perform good deeds, you'll gain class levels at a rate of around one level every one or two months. If you reach 17th level as a genie warlock (which ROB estimates would take at least two years), you get full access to the Wish spell and it's other reality-bending abilities. Granted, you also get the 1-in-3 chance to lose access to the Wish spell if you try it's more extreme powers, but in this case you only lose access to it for around nine months (or 6+1d6 months to be exact).
Notes:
1. There is nothing inherently stopping people from finding out about your power and coming after you, and there's nothing stopping you from being killed. Of course, you can always use wish to duplicate the clone spell or take other precautions.
2. There's also nothing stopping you from using Planeshift or other spells to explore the multiverse and have wacky adventures. However, you only get "experience" in your class abilities if you use your power to help your iteration of humanity. If you travel to say... the Attack on Titan universe and use your powers to save the people there, it doesn't count. If you travel to a place with cheap fusion technology and bring it back to help the earth, then it counts.
3. No combat experience. ROB is explicitly going for an XP over time system and is not rewarding murderhobos again.
So... you basically have the power to cast any 5th edition DnD spell once per day for free. What do you do?
