Hey guys D3 here, recently I have read so many [Gamer] and SI/OC fanfiction that the plot bunnies are driving me insane. So i decided that I may as well give it a shot.
Hope you enjoy the start of a hopefully long journey.
Constructive criticism is appreciated.
It was your average Monday morning, sun peeking through semi closed curtains, light slowly creeping further into the room, illuminating the large amount of books, manga and videogames haphazardly strewn across the floor. Eventually reaching the bed situated against the furthest wall from the window, with blankets rolled up into a ball in the centre of the mattress.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP" blared the alarm, its clock reading 6:00AM
A pale white hand attached to an equally pale arm slowly reached out the press the button on top of the alarm "BEEP BEEP BE-Click".
"M' awake" came the slurred reply as the hands owner began to disentangle themselves from their self imposed linen prison.
The sound of feet padding across the wood flooring echoed through the house as the only inhabitant made their way down the hall towards the bathroom to begin their morning ritual, they paused in front of the mirror to inspect themselves. Staring back was a boy standing around 5"11, looking no older than 17, with jet black curly hair styled into an undercut with both the back and sides shaved leaving no more than a centimetre of hair and the top was long enough that if he pulled it straight it would reach his chin. His skin was so pale that if it wasn't for the healthy glow of his cheeks people would think he was sick. On his brow rested thin black eyebrows, followed by a pair of almond shaped eyes looking as if they each held a drop of molten gold. High cheekbones and full lips came last as he finished the examination of his decidedly all too feminine face.
Spinning on his heel he headed back towards his room so that he could get dressed for school. Stepping up to his cupboard he opened the door before pulling out a long sleeved white button up shirt, a crimson red blazer with the school emblem on the chest pocket, followed by a pair of dark grey slacks. Having finished putting those on he moved over to his chest of drawers pulling out a tie matching in color to his blazer and a pair of dark grey shin length socks, before finally stepping into a pair of black leather dress shoes.
Having finished getting dressed he looked over towards the clock to see that it was now 6:45AM.
Deciding he had enough time to spare he grabbed his bag before heading downstairs. Upon reaching the kitchen he opened the fridge and grabbed out the lunch he had packed the night before along with an extra apple.
Walking out the front door he began the leisurely walk to school whilst munching on the apple and listening to music through his headphones at full volume.
It was because of this that he'd never hear the sounds of police sirens as they quickly grew closer or the sounds of a car speeding down the road he was walking. It was the reason he wouldn't hear the sound of squealing tyres as the car spun out of control on the wet road caused from the rain the previous night. It was the reason the last thing he would see before becoming little more than a ragdoll as he bounced of the front of a car going 90 kilometres an hour, was a petal from a white rose with small red specs not dissimilar to blood splatters being carried by the wind.
My eyes snap open as I gasped for breath. I pushed myself up onto my feet and began to look around, seeing nothing but a black void.
"Where the hell am I?" I mumbled out in confusion.
*DING*
I spun around to see what made the noise only to find a blue box floating in front of my face.
Congratulations! You have been sponsored in death by your local ROB to play "The Path to Godhood". A game the spans across the entirety of the multiverse with all players striving for ascension into Godhood
"Godhood?" I asked, not quite believing what I was reading.
Yes Goodhood. Players travel the multiverse in search for strong enemies to fight so they can rise in level, whilst gathering items to improve their chances in the Battle Royale. The Battle Royale is an annual Free-For-All style tournament that pits players against each other in a fight to the death, with the winner raising their divinity rank. But be warned once you die after beginning your "Path to Godhood" that's Game Over, The End, no respawns, just straight into the reincarnation cycle with all your memories wiped.
Now let's begin your adventure.
[New Game]
"Guess this is it then" I mumbled as I pressed my finger against the floating icon.
The void around me warped until I was standing in what appeared to be a temple of some sort with 5 statues placed in a semicircle formation. Each looked different, the first looked like a burly man, with a large beard and short curly hair, wearing what appeared to be a blacksmith outfit whilst holding a large forging hammer in his right hand. The second was an extremely beautiful women, with long straight hair reaching down to the base of her spine, her most noticeable feature however was the long pointed ears poking through her hair. The third was another man, except this time he wore metal plated pants and an open trench coat with no shirt displaying the large muscles of his chest, however what stood out the most about this statue was the horns coming from the side of its head and the large dragon wings extending from his back. the fourth was aristocratic man, this time dressed in a form fitting suit accompanied by dress shoes, extending from his back was 2 pairs of bat-like wings. the final was a women, dressed in a nun's outfit, with a cross clasped between her hands, coming from her shoulders similarly to the man next to her were a pair of feathered wings that were closed around her forming almost a barrier around both herself and the cross in her hands.

A bright flash of light enveloped me blinding me for a couple of seconds. When I got my vision back standing in front of me was a mirror showing what I assumed was my new appearance. Not much had changed if you didn't count the ram like horns attached to the side of my head or The large, scaly, black dragon wing extending out around 10" from each of my shoulders. I had just gained a bit more muscle now instead of just being thin, i looked like I was built for speed and power, it oddly reminded me of Ichigo's body when he entered his Final Getsuga to beat Aizen. Finally my previously pale skin had disappeared, in its place now was a healthy tan, looking as if i hadn't just spent the last 3 months cooped up inside playing video games at home and reading manga in the school library.
*DING*
Before you are dropped of in the Tutorial Arena I have a gift for you. Every new player gets a random free skill. It could be anything from a E rank skill like [Sprint] to an SSS rank skill like [Enuma Elish] simply think 'inventory' and open your gift.
'Inventory' I mentally commanded causing a new box to appear filled with grid style lines, upon closer inspection I noticed the first grid square had an icon that looked like wrapped gift.
Do you want to open "New Player Gift Box x1" [Confirm]
Pressing [Confirm] caused the gift to disappear and the text in the box to change.
Congratulations! You have gained the A rank skill [Consume]
'I wonder what it does' I thought as I tapped on the icon.
[Consume] - Passive - Lv-MAX
Description: Your body can store concepts gained from the things you eat for later use.
'What the hell does it mean by concepts' I thought in confusion.
Transporting you to Tutorial Arena in 3. 2. 1
"I guess i'll figure it out later then" I said as a white light enveloped me.
