Disclaimer : I own myself and every word you didn't recognize in this page. Please don't take this seriously, I never wrote much disclaimer before.


I have no memory of what has happened. On that day, inside the shady alley, where I weathered for a night...

All I could recall was that I walked sullenly with nothing in my hand, losing once again in the battle of life. My meager money is taken by the neighborhood hooligans.

What can I do? I'm not strong. When someone stronger than you on the street takes interest in you, all you could do is bow down. Or run.

I am just an old man, stranded on the street. Losing my way early in life, with the rest of everything taken by the greedy hands of relatives or former friends. All I could do is cower down somewhere else.

I wish I could change my ways of life, but it's too late now. All I could do is ensure myself not to remotely insult someone on the street, for that will be my immediate end.

That's one of the reasons why I always spend my night around some alleys. Most beggars and hobos avoid this kind of environment to sleep in. They can be very territorial with safe sleeping spots. Once you intrude on their spot, you will be harassed for a long amount of time. Did I tell you about Hobos bond? Once you mess with one the rest will fight back.

That night is rainy. A bad time for sleeping outside, but I had no choice. There isn't any building in construction around, a place I could crash by at least to avoid the downpour. So I take my chance to be sleeping inside some alley.

I put down my beaten-down guitar and rusty can, then stoop down to sit. With nothing on my head as a cover, the rains beat my head with their incessant pelting. After that, I had no recollection.

When I woke up I wasn't laying down in some alley anymore. A vast space of white is all I could see, with a clump of a stone platform where I lay down.

I asked myself whether this is real or just a dream, a dream far better than a bitter reality filled with spite and resignation. For me being trapped inside this place is better than surviving day by day.

I am tired.

Nevertheless, I decided to test whether this is a dream I just perceived. I pick my callous skin and pull as hard as I could.

Ouch.

"Ah...this isn't a dream. Am I dead? Is this afterlife? Someone answer me!!!"

[Congratulations! You have died!]

"Whoa, god have mercy"

This sight is unlike what I have ever seen. A screen, almost like from those games my sons used to play, appeared out of nowhere. Not just that, but the confirmation of my situation also took me aback.

"I... died?"

Is this screen supposed to be the angel in charge to welcome souls to heaven?

[For your curiosity, I am no angel]

Did it just read my mind?!

[Anyway. I am The Source of Everything, and I come to your aid before you've taken to hell. To give you a choice]

Hell?

Me?

But I am a good man. I look for my kids and loved my wife for the longest time. Helping my relative without asking anything back.

"What possibly become the reason why I deserve to be sent to hell?"

[Well it's ancient history, did you remember your uncle Bob? You piss on his newly buried grave. And Heaven Society doesn't like that.]

Uncle Bob?!...

Oh...That Uncle Bob!

"But he is a pedophile, a bastard who raped his niece. Why did he deserve heaven than me?!"

[Let's just say that he was innocent. Some bitch doesn't like his face in a family gathering and decides to take the matter into her own hands. And with no regrets and guilt to this day]

"What..."

That means Beatrice is lying...

But she is 13 at the time. All I have ever known of her is that she was the most innocent child in my grand family. Her getting advances is natural, but her lying is impossible.

[Some people are just born evil. That way the world would stay in balance. Anyway, the choice I give is: would you like to be my host?]

Your host?

"What are you, a parasite?"

[Don't call me that, I giving you a choice of a lifetime here. If you take it you could be living again]

"Why should I be excited to be living again? I died like a gutter dog because I stubbornly believe life is worth cherishing"

All that belief leads me to suffer in the streets for years.

[Oh, but not just living. You'll be given a small gift. The gift that would keep you away from the world's harsh side. A Gamer system!]

What's that supposed to mean?

"Gamer system?"

[Yes. In exchange for me annoying you for a lifetime of adventures, you'll be given a gamer system that changes the reality of your view. You could do anything a game offers, but in reality.]

Like games? I could do anything?

Even marrying a princess or slaying a dragon?

"This is a lot to take in. I am not particularly fond of playing games. I was so bad at it that makes my sons regret introducing me to gaming"

[That you don't need to worry. You had me so I'll make sure you'll be the most successful gamer. Now what is your answer?]

Okay...maybe I should think about this for a minute.

"Can I have some time to think it through? This decision is a big one if me evading hell's wrath is to be believed"

[No you can't. At this time the angels are wondering where the last soul departed for today gone. If you take more useless time to think through then I supposed I could leave you to their mercy.]

"No please, spare me from hell. Take me with you!"

[Good. Let us start with something simple. Tell me your name]

"My name is Victor Nersier"

[Alright. Now, choose your race]

{Human}{Beast}{?}{?}{?}

My choice is obvious.

"Well, I don't want to live as an animal so..."

[Human it is then]

[Race chosen: Human

Human (*) {Dev: 0%}

Species most flexible and adaptable across the vast multiverse. The possible evolution path is endless.

1 bar (=) in every starting stats

Can evolve endlessly

Perk added: Master of None

Gift from The Source of Everything. Unable to master any skill but exp gain of all skills increased by 100%.]

"So I can evolve my race? Does the star indicate my evolution? And what does dev means exactly?"

I understand about stats. It means to represent my capabilities, but why use the bar?

Unable to master any skill seems harsh, even if I could learn any skill faster than normal, it wouldn't matter if I couldn't claim any as my most expertise.

[Yes, yes, can't tell you about that now, and because using numbers is a bit too much. Sometimes gamer cant track their stats very well so...here is my solution]

I still feel unsatisfied with the answers, but would let it slide for now.

"Okay. So... what next?"

[Next is path. And before you ask for details, Path is what kind of Goal that you focus on in your journey. From choosing a path you gain a set of perk and a drawback, title, and class. These are path you could choose for now, as giving more options tend to make gamer takes too much time deciding]

{Path of Victory}

{Path of Destruction}

{Path of Creation}

"Can I get an explanation for each of them?"

Picking one randomly without knowing the details is suicide.

[Yes, here is it

Info: Path of Victory

Are you tired of being kicked around by bullies Tired of feeling useless in a stressful situation? Tired of feeling hopeless when disasters struck? Take this path and you shall be guided to victory

Info: Path of Destruction

Most people feel repulsed by the idea of senseless destruction. But not you, you like it. You love carnage, savagery, and annihilation. There is no such thing more exciting than snuffing out lives on major scale, with nothing but your bare hands. Take this chaotic path, and enjoy destroying everything with glee.

Info: Path of Creation

Have you ever known why God, Elder Things, Major Entity, and any powerful being outside your perception, bother to create everything? One answer. Because it's fun. No matter the arduous process, boring waiting time, or failed creation. When their efforts bore fruit, there is no accomplishment better than that.]

Definitely not going to choose the second path. The third description is a bit far-fetched though. Gods creating things just for fun? Is there no reason better than that? Ridiculous.

No losing?

Is this some kind of joke? This isn't funny.

"You expect me to fight but not losing? How the hell i could make sure to win everything?"

[Once you chosen a path, there's no going back]

"So i can only roll with this? What i am kidding, i never had so much choice in my entire life before."

Shouldn't have expect this to be easy. Now i couldn't even lose once, unlike before i could just beg and run. Now i need fight to survive.

...

...

...

[Are you done brooding?]

"Yeah, just proceed to next things"

[Good. Now you could choose to use a new body or using your own weathered one but with the age rewinded and stopped]

"How many years my age will be rewinded?"

[15 years]

"So that means my age will 45 years again... Ohoho thats good."

[ Are you sure? Doesn't the though of having a new body excite you a bit?]

"No, i think i'll pass"

[You could be the most handsome man in earth you know? Or maybe you like to try being a woman? The new body option comes with full modification!]

"I don't care."

If my new life is short one then i would like to spend my remaining days being myself, no need to change my own body just to imposter someone else.

[Suit yourself then. Next is flawperk roulatte. Click roll to do it]

"Wait a minute, what is perk and flaw? Is this somekind of natural talent and disabilites i would forced to bear for the rest of my life?"

[ Thats quite like that yes. How about it, wanna get some?]

Hmm... A new natural talent sounds good, but of course it has a price. Does taking a disability would be worth it?

[Perk added : Teaching Permit

Unlocked Skill : Teaching.

Able to pass your active/toggle skills to other people after certain number of learning time.]

Is this some kind of joke? Is this because of how much I hate pedophile, even as far as damning me to hell because of it. That you think making me one is appropriate karmic justice?

"...Take it back"

[ Every results of roulette are random. It just a coincidence that you got such a degrading flaw ]

Coincidence? Only idiots would believe such lie, its obvious that you set this up.

"...i said take it back"

[ Every result can't be undone. You can't reject what is already a part of you ]

"I SAID TAKE IT BACK!!!"

Must i suffer the sick pleasure of molestation? Should i accept being a child predator? All because of this stupid gamble machine. No i wouldn't!

...

...

...

...

[ If you really hate that flaw so much then how about removing it yourself?]

"Why can't you just take it back?! Why it should be me that have to take the burden?"

[ I'll send you some quest later to help you remove that flaw. Accept the challenge and seek your way to victory by yourself]

...Its always been like this, isn't it? All the choice i took always put me in the worst place, i should have gotten used to it by now.

I shouldn't be angry to them, no. I should be angry to myself, for taking a choice without deep consideration.

"Alright... I'll do it, i remove that stain myself"

[ Good. Now, would you like another go? Just click the roll button again]

No... Enough picking a choice i would surely regret.

"No, I'm good."

[ Are you sure? Having more is better than less, no? ]

I don't want to tempt the fate, a single stain in my name is enough stain already.

"Just...proceed to next thing please"

{ Sevens }

{ Reincarnated Slime }

I could choose a world where i landed?Nice... Though i don't have any sort of idea why these world named this way. Could you explain, Source?

[ The names represent a story that taking place inside these worlds...or universe if you wish for more accurate info. The first and second one taking place in a world not different than medieval magical era, where monster run rampart across the realm, with demon kings creating evil schemes every so often, and with hero born from summoning or inheritance.

And the last one is taking place in modern era where the majority of human has an unique power in their hands. You could predict what kind of tale this one contain]

So its either fantasy or reality with sprinkle of superhero classic... I'll take the third one please. Mainly because its easier to accliminate with the same kind of modernity.

[Excellent choice. Please wait for seconds until the teleporting start...done]
