Summary:
There was a time when I was like any other person in the boring "real" world. But all that went to the drain when I made a pact with an Inter-dimensional Entity after I died.
Now I am on a crusade, reincarnated in a world full of dangers. And my only weapon is my limited future knowledge about this world ... At least I was lucky to be born with an extraordinary power to not die again.
- [LINE BREAK] -
Darkness... That's the only thing that exists in this place.
I am not able to see anything since absolute darkness covered all the space in front of me.
The truth is that I am very scared right now. But I can not move either. I do not even have hands, arms ... Or a body. I had become an amorphous creature that floated in this infinite black space.
But not only is it dark, but there is a bleak cold. If I were to light a match in this place, it is most likely that the fire would be extinguished in less than a second. I think that space is not as cold as this place.
Where the hell am I? How the hell did I end up here? Why do not I have a physical body?
Those were the questions that haunted my mind but at that precise moment I "remembered" what was the reason for all this that you see before your eyes.
I died
It's strange, I can not remember the remotest detail of myself. And still I knew that I was dead. You could say that my memory was covered in a mist-No ... My mind was completely blank.
Is this the beyond? Because if that's the case, let me tell you it's crap-
Welcome to the Hereafter, Human
Huh? Who the fuck are you?
I'm just your kind friend and neighbor Spiderman.
AHA. Now tell me, who the fuck are you really?
Wow, you are very sensitive. You should learn to relax a little. Anyway, I'm just an Inter-Dimensional Entity that came to offer you a deal.
Okay.
I know it's hard to believe, maybe you should think you went crazy- Wait, do you believe me?! That's it?!
Look, I've been in this damn place for a long time and if I'm honest, with everything I've gone through so far, you're the least crazy about what I've found.
It is reasonable. Then... Will you listen to my proposal?
Do I have something better to do?
Excellent! You see, I've been wandering around with nothing to do for a few millennia in search of a brave warrior who agrees to be reborn in another universe and get rid of certain people who are on my blacklist!
So you want me to be your champion in a magical crusade through time and space?
Yup~!
What is the catch?
Why do you think I would want something from you? You're just a mere mortal that I found by chance. You are not more important than a simple bacterium, just like other humans.
... You know you did not answer my question, right?
Heh, cunning dog ~! Very good mortal! There are some very dangerous individuals who have been messing with history and I need a poor devil to serve as a scapegoat! Someone who has nothing to lose! An inglorious warrior who confronts these guys and erased them from the universe! And in exchange for your services, you will be granted a new life in that world!
Ok, you have my support.
Oooohhh~! So you are a noble warrior willing to save the universe as in fairy tales~?
Of course not. I just want to get out of this hell, I do not care if I have to kill a person to do it.
Hmm. As you wish... Oh, I almost forgot! If you die before you can eliminate those guys, you will become my slave for all eternity! HAHAHAHA!
Wait, what—Argh! Shit!
My memories are returning. Huh, so that's me?
Apparently, I was just a normal boy. A man who graduated from college without having great grades. And apparently, I died when a perfect imbecile thought it was a good idea to drive his truck after drinking a couple of beers.
Ping!
Welcome to the GAMER System, lucky guest!
You have gained new perks that will help you in your adventure. It is a privilege that only the bearer of the system has at their disposal.
You can select two additional perks! First of all, I must inform you that once you choose there is no turning back!
The perks available are the following:
[Special Mystical Eyes]: You have a type of Mystic Eyes that are considered a rarity. You will randomly obtain a pair of Gold-Class Mystical Eyes.
[Half-Blood] You are a hybrid with the blood of the Ghostly Species running through your veins. You will have access to all the powers and abilities of one of the species (Including the Transcendental Kind), and the natural instincts for its use. But keep in mind that your other Non-Human half will be chosen at random.
[Zero Distortion]: In spite of not being an Incarnation or not having a distorted mentality, you have a Reality Marble. You will be granted a Reality Marble and you will not be affected by an unusual perception of reality.
[Member of the Aristocracy] You belong to a renowned family in the Mage's Association. You will have a formal and advanced education in Magecraft, besides having a very good financial income.
[True Descendant]: You are an anomaly that has persisted since the Age of the Gods. You are related to one of the great heroes of the legends. You automatically receive two Noble Phantasm. You can materialize or dematerialize them at will, and they will not lose their Mystery by degradation.
[Thief Jewel]: You are a distant relative of the Tohsaka Family. One of your ancestors was once a member of that magi family but he defected and took with him several contraptions and secret techniques. You will obtain high level Magic Circuits both in quality and quantity and you will be able to master the techniques of the Tohsaka with relative ease.
[Cannibalistic Magic Circuits]: Each time a Magus tries to take the Circuits of another Magus, they will always resist and reject the process. But that does not happen with you. You have the strange and terrifying ability to steal the Magical Circuits of any magus without any problem, you can even take the Magic Crests.
Ok, this looks very good. No, it's excellent!
Not only do I have a list of great powers at my disposal but I also have the Gamer power! I'm lucky, very lucky! Now I just have to choose two spice powers and start with my "crusade"!
The trouble is that I will be reborn in one of the most dangerous worlds. Where there are individuals capable of committing atrocities for what they call "investigation". A world where monsters and vampires exist. Where the aliens are terrifying beings that are capable of destroying entire worlds... I would be very scared if it were not for the fact that I have this power.
Let's see what we have here... Mmmm
[Cannibalistic Magic Circuits] is a definite no. I'm not so depraved to do that kind of thing. While there are a large number of individuals who do not deserve the power they have (Matou Zouken and Kotomine Kirei), I do not think I'm capable of doing something like that. Also, do I need prolonged physical contact to be able to steal Magic Circuits from other magi? Because if it's like that then I will not last long. I think I'll be dead before I can shout "Help!"
On the other hand I have [Half-Blood]. It's very tempting, too tempting. But it is a bet since it could receive the blood of a weak creature like the Goblins. Besides that it's very likely-Nah, I'll definitely become a prey for the Mage's Association and Demon Hunters!
[Thief Jewel] is another very tempting option. Besides that I could become a Magus very recognized in the Association of Magicians. But it is not likely that I get along with Rin because of the history of our ancestors. Nobody likes when a close relative takes their belongings and secrets without permission.
Having a Reality Marble would be incredible. Who would not want to have their own Unlimited Blade Works?... But when you consider the history of all people with that kind of power, tempers fade from your mind. And let's not forget that Reality Marbles are shaped by the personality you have and the kind of person you are, that is not to mention your Origin and Elemental Affinity. Shirou got his for all those factors. There is no guarantee that you get a Reality Marble like the one he had.
[True Descendant] is too good to be real. How do I know that I will not end up being a descendant of a fucking bastard with a Noble Phantasm completely incompatible with me? I admit that Caladbolg, Arondight, Rhongomyniad and Gate of Babylon are great weapons but having that kind of equipment would put me on the radar of basically ALL the damn world. I could end up being one of the most wanted in the world and be used in inhumane experiments.
I guess I have to play it safe and take the options [Special Mystic Eyes] and [Member of the Aristocracy]... It's not a loss, it's a good gain. Having mystical eyes of great power will help me defend myself against the Dead Apostles and any other Servant, if I find any. And if I have the protection of a respected and powerful family then I can live a long and prosperous life without worrying about money.
Ping!
You have selected [Special Mystic Eyes] and [Member of the Aristocracy] as your additional benefits!
Initializing System... Loading... Loading...
Ping!
You are ready to start your adventure, young traveler! Enjoy your second chance! Are you ready for this?!
[Y / N]
Before that, I must inspect my current state. I have to know how this system works before starting my journey through this new and frightening world.
I do not want to end up being killed within 5 minutes of being reborn. It's just common sense, you know?

Oh my! This is very different. It's not what I expected. Anyway, I can work with this. It's not like I'm going to become an antagonist who wants immortality or fulfill some impossible dream like saving everyone. At the most I will become an Anti-Hero who will have his winnings. Although I would not mind doing good deeds if I'm in the mood.
This system is very different from the one I had in mind. It seems that it does not measure my Intelligence, Wisdom, Health Points and neither my Luck.
Looking at it well, it reminds me of the system that the Nasuverse uses to measure the power of the Servants, Magi and other supernatural beings. I just hope I do not meet a super-powerful person very early in my life or I'll die again.
You know what? Fuck this! I'm going to defeat everyone who crosses my path! I am going to become the most powerful being of the Nasuverse and I will be a Harem King! Ok, I was joking about the harem but you understand me.
Well, here I go!
I hope you're ready, Nasuverse! Because I'm going to kick your ass!
