I want to do Impurities and Motion but they're both kicking my ass, fuck.
Hi. This is just a random fic inspired by an ability system I saw in another story. Don't expect much, this is just gonna be a story I can do whatever with. I have some plans, but may not execute them as well as I could if I really tried. This should be a fun romp, though.
New Pokémon story coming out soon.
The Things One Must Endure, chapter one.
I stared contemplatively at the black screen in front of me, the white letters displaying something curious.
YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED! PLEASE SELECT WORLD.
Naruto
RWBY
Marvel
Detective Comics
Harry Potter
Percy Jackson
Type-Moon
My Hero Academia
Dragon Ball
Star Wars
OTHER OPTIONS CURRENTLY LOCKED!
No fanfare, no achievements section, no sarcasm. This seems to be the complete opposite of the typical Gamer story you'd read on any given website.
I must say that I do appreciate this. I don't want to deal with a random omnipotent being, or a "snarky" system cracking jokes because some random author thinks it's funny.
Regardless, I selected Naruto. I know that seems typical of a situation like this, but the straight forward narrative and abundance of powers, techniques, and special abilities makes this an ideal place to set myself up before I jump into a place like Marvel or DC, where multiversal beings are common place and heroes are everywhere. Sure, the end of Shippuden (and to an extent, Boruto) raised the power ceiling quite high (for example, Naruto and Sasuke defeating a casually universal being while not at the peak of their power,) but I should be able to get to those heights with them, provided I play my cards right.
I want those eyes. I want those bloodlines. And I really want that Six Paths chakra. I should be able to devise techniques to steal, graft, or otherwise obtain these things. After all, I'm the Gamer. I do whatever I please with this broken ability; nobody can stop me, least of all these characters. I'll kill or enslave them all quickly and get to a more entertaining world.
I selected Naruto without further adieu, and was greeted by a new screen.
PLEASE SELECT YOUR PLACE OF BIRTH!
Amegakure
Konohagakure
Iwagakure
Kumogakure
Kirigakure
Sunagakure
Tetsu no Kuni
I can't help but notice that Testu no Kuni is the odd one out here. It's the only location listed by the country, and not the village. Good to know I'll be dropped into a Hidden Village if I so please.
So let's break this down…
Konoha has the most powerful clans, and the most powerful bijuu. However, I don't want to go to this place. For one, the likelihood that I can obtain an ability like the Sharingan is low. By the time I likely devise an ability to steal bloodlines, the Uchiha are likely to be dead, and any other ability I can get at any other time. Second, while it's the safest place to live, it's also the one to give me the slowest growth, most likely. They're much safer with young shinobi than other places and if fanfiction is to be believed, their academy sucks. My best bet would be to find Orochimaru if I'm born in time, or attract Danzo, which will take too long for my tastes. Thirdly, and call me childish if you'd like, it's boring and so typical. No, this isn't the one for me.
Next was Iwa. This one took deliberation, but ended up being a big nope. They would push me, which was good, and they had the Explosion Release, which I really wanted and deigned to get as soon as possible, but the Explosion Release was not from a clan! If this works like I think it does, I won't be able to choose that. The only "clan" they have is that one that controls Bees, which I don't want to start with.
Next was Kumo, which… honestly might be what I pick. The ketsuryugan? The two and eight tails? Lightning Armor? Yes please! However, I could steal these far more easily than something like Bone Control or Ice Control, which leads me to…
Kiri. This was the one. Bone Control, Ice Control, the Hydrification Technique, the Hidden Mist Technique, advanced weapons training, and a deadly environment? This is what I need. I'll probably defect later if I need something. Joining Orochimaru sounds good, short term.
So I tapped on Kirigakure.
THANK YOU! PLEASE SELECT YOUR CLANS. 3 ONLY, IN ORDER OF BLOOD STRENGTH.
Senju
Uzumaki
Kaguya
Yuki
Kazekage
Hyuga
Wait, what the fuck? Clans aren't location specific? I suppose the only real benefits of specific locations are the techniques they hold and the enviroment. This doesn't change my choice, but it is helpful.
I quickly tapped Kaguya, Hyuga, and Senju. Let me explain.
First of all, I chose in order of importance. A Kaguya's bone structure is important if I want to develop the Shikotsumyaku, which I no doubt have. Then the Hyuga's eyes and special chakra control bloodline. Finally, I only needed the Senju bloodline for their strong vitality, possible healing factor, and so that if I snag a Sharingan down the line I can develop my own Rinnegan. I didn't need anything really special from them, so I can deal with a diluted bloodline.
As for why I chose the clans I did, the Uzumaki and Uchiha are both very cliche. On top of that, neither clan has anything I really need or couldn't get from elsewhere. A unique skeletal structure and the ability to manipulate it can't be gained as easily as dense chakra or seal prowess, nor special eyes and powerful Yin chakra. I don't need Ice Release more than a healing factor and special bones and chakra points, and on top of that if it's diluted I may not get the Ice Release and may just look very feminine.

NEW GREATER PERKS MAY BE PICKED EVERY 20 LEVELS, OR UPON DEEDS OF GREAT MAGNITUDE. GREATER PERKS MAY BE AWARDED DUE TO GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.
Most of the perks on the list were really good but very basic. I chose most of the really broken ones, I think, but the gargantuan amounts of '?'s honestly scared me. I don't like the unknown variables, especially when they pertain to people hunting me down. However, the strength of the perks I chose cannot be denied, and if there's a Perk Tree, which I'm sure there is, they'll become even stronger. Additionally, if these encounters are like boss fights, if I win I could gain great rewards.
If I lose… hopefully there's a respawn feature.
Chapter one, end.
So, I know what it looks like. "This is just edgy OP SIOC garbage!"
He'll be OP later, in comparison with most of this world, but there are going to be lots of challenges, and not just the ones he can punch through.
His very powerful perks, as I explained, come with huge drawbacks. He could have chosen less powerful ones with little to no drawbacks, but he chose the ones that result in Special Encounters and Special Events. These will affect the worlds he visits to great degrees. Just wait.
Yes, this is edgy. I don't write Lawful Good, Neutral Good, or Chaotic Good characters. My characters are Neutral or Evil. This guy is somewhere in between, but he's powerhungry, arrogant, and he knows that he's right in his assumption that the people he will meet are NPCs. The people in this story are not real, at least not people like Anko, Naruto, etc.
There will be people you can care about; those characters will get screen time. I don't want you to care about the characters from the worlds he visits, because they will probably be hunted for EXP.
There will be no romance. There will be the MC, fucking a bunch of NPCs (off screen, most likely,) having a giant harem of disposable women who will probably not show up much, but no romance. If there is, it'll be shown in an epilogue. This is a story where the MC triumphs over great challenges on his road to ultimate power. Once he gets there, I'm done. Thankfully, I know how to efficiently power cliff.
No, this is not an SI. The OC is not supposed to be me, reflect me, and he shares no experiences with me unless otherwise stated. This is just a Gamer!OC fic.
Yes, Naruto and Sasuke are Universal fighters. Debate me.
See you later. Review, will ya?
