"Yo Vick! Are you seriously reading your comics right now?" Jason yelled a few feet away from Victor, his nose broken and bloody as he stomped on another kids arm, making him shriek in pain.
"Yeah dude, Lookism just updated," Victor answered nonchalantly, looking almost bored as he sat on top of a pile of guys.
Their games were getting boring, he liked fighting sure, hell he'd literally started this school war shit two years ago because he wanted to be like the guys in Lookism.
"Only two? Are you underestimating us?" A chilly voice called out as Victor looked up.
Carlos, one of Victors old middle school friends from when he had started this whole thing, dragged a lead pipe through the street, 30 guys following behind the heavyset boy.
'Oh? He brought a weapon?' Victor thought to himself as he put his phone away.
"Nice to see you Vicky, how's auntie?" Carlos said, smirking as Victor just shrugged.
"Same as always, grieving and taking it out on me, how's your sister? Oh wait… She got raped and killed didn't she?" Victor said with a smirk.
It was an asshole thing to bring up, but that was part of the game.
Carlos practically snarled as he rushed toward Victor.
"Alright, let's do this shit."
Victor dodged past Carlos and jumped into the crowd of boys, punching and kicking as Jason cursed and jumped in as well.
He regretted ever showing Victor Lookism. He used to be a nice kid, kind of lazy at times, always complaining about being bored.
The second he had seen the comic however, Victor's entire personality switched.
'This guy's gonna get me killed one day,' he thought to himself as he looked at the unconscious guys, staring down Carlos as Victor chuckled to himself.
"I've never fought against a weapon before, it's about time I learn. Leave this to me Ja-"
Victor, ever the dramatic, always wanting to look cool, stopped as the lead pipe bashed into his face, shattering his skull and killing him instantly…
…
"Why are other people messing with our multiverse?" The man in front of me said with a bored sigh, laying in bed surrounded by beautiful women.
I didn't speak up, not wanting to end this beautiful sight. I'd never classify myself as a pervert but dozens of nude women playing with each other definitely woke something up inside of me.
I mean, I was only 16 so could anyone blame me?
"Uhh Multiverse… sir?" I said politely after a while of moans and lewd noises, not wanting to anger my new god. Yes, any guy bedding this many women deserves to be called a god, take it up with him if you have a problem.
"Glad you can appreciate my efforts, I won't say it was hard to get them but I have a big harem huh?" The man said, sitting up for the first time in the hour I've been here.
'Wait did he?'
"Why does everyone ask that, obviously I can tell what you're thinking if I answered something you thought right?" The man said, interrupting my thought as I nodded awkwardly.
"Anyway… Looks like that fucker is just sending people wherever he wants now, and I thought Shiro was annoying," The man said, standing up and walking over to me.
"Guess you can just die the- What the fuck?" The man stopped mid sentence as he looked at me, pure anger in his eyes.
"He copied my system! What the fuck!? That's just lazy!" The man yelled, looking at me angrily.
"Now now Kuro, he's just trying to annoy you, don't let him win," A woman who looked suspiciously like my new god said, wrapping her arms around his body and kissing his neck as she smiled cheekily down at me.
"Isis, that bastard Shiro made has been messing with me for millenia, why can't I just hop over and kill him?" Kuro asked, still looking pretty angry as he turned to the woman and began thrusting into her.
"Because of the ceasefire?" Isis said with a smile as she moaned softly.
The god known as Kuro nodded, looking back down at me with bored eyes. "Well… It's not terrible I suppose, it's not like it has everything the supervillain system has, still ticks me off though. If you're gonna copy do it right…"
Kuro suddenly stared more intensely at me, something akin to a smile playing on his lips.
"Actually who cares if he sent him? This is just another one for the quota right? Fuck Gray I just got two new gamers," Kuro finished, grabbing my head for a second and then letting go.
"Fixed the bugs in your system, it should activate once we send you off, welcome to the guild and whatever, go talk to Lucille while I get back to bed."
With a wave of his hand my body… Or soul? I was dead wasn't I? Whatever. I was pushed away from him, appearing in an office building looking at a beautiful woman.
An angry beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman all the same. So beautiful that-
"Save the flattery, I was supposed to get off in one minute and you interrupted it, First Jin and now some random…" The woman said, her cold blue eyes staring at me as if I was trash.
If I was in the right mindset, I might have popped a boner there, but I managed to keep my cool somehow. No I'm not into that shit she just looked good.
The woman clicked her teeth, snapping her fingers as clothes appeared on me. Didn't even realize I was naked.
"Let's get this over with quick, I just sent that other one away and Lord Kuro sends me some anomaly fuck my life…"
"So is this hell?" I ask, smiling as I lean forward in my chair. Can't lie I was starting to get excited, many people said there was a special place in hell for someone like me, didn't think they meant a well furnished office and beautiful women, but here I am.
"No, this isn't hell you imbecile, how old are you? Believing in things like that," The woman said, glaring. "This is The Guild, founded by Lord Shiro, my father."
She paused for a second, looking at me curiously. As the seconds ticked by I wondered if I should say something. Was this Shiro someone important? Like a CEO?
"No he's not a CEO… He's one of the four founders of The Guild of Gamers, accompanied by Kuro T, the one you just met, Kuro D, and Lord Gray."
None of these names sounded familiar, and I was beginning to get a little bored, so I just looked down at her breasts to pass the time.
"Look again and I'll snatch your eyes out," The woman practically growled at me, looking infuriated as I looked back at her. Though there was a subtle playfulness in her eyes.
'One of those huh? Cute,' I thought before scooting in more and placing my elbows on the desk.
"So Blue eyes, this Guild of Gamers or whatever, what do you guys do?"
"It's Lucille, not blue eyes…" She said before shaking her head and taking on a more professional look. "The Guild sends people out into the multiverse, giving them a system and giving some entertainment for the founders, that's all really. You aren't important, just one of the few that get the chance."
Cool, so CEO lords, hot women, and what I assume… Gamer Systems? This Guild was truly interesting. Much better than street brawls, look at me moving up in the world.
"This would take longer, luckily that loser already gave you a system so I can skip all that and send you to the world," Lucille continued, stopping as a hand appeared in front of her and stuck a post-it note on her forehead.
I pride myself in being able to keep calm under duress. I'd practiced it a lot since it made me look cooler during fights, hell I'd been pretty calm up until now despite dying and appearing in this strange place, but when Lucille's eyes changed and an overwhelming pressure slammed me into the ground… Well, you could say I feared for my life. Second life?
As the pressure eased up I realized I was sweating and Coughing, I stood up and looked at her as she stared at the post-it note.
Lol accidentally sent him to the guild, meant to send him to my other reality. Take care of him plz
The note ended with a small drawing of a stick figure with a peace sign, and a large, badly drawn penis hanging off.
Lucille seemed angry, and the sweat all around my body made me stay quiet. Rule number one, never upset someone stronger than you if you have no clue what they can do.
Lucille sighed, disintegrating the paper with a wave of her hand and turning her attention back to me.
"I want to torture you for eternity all because of that guy."
Gulping at her blunt statement, I just gave a nod. Wondering if this is how my second chance ended. Tortured(Maybe sexually?) by a white haired, blue eyed girl with clear daddy issues.
Wait is that even bad?
A beautiful giggle escaped the woman, her smile bright as she looked at me. Though, I doubt it was supposed to be friendly given her glare.
"It seems like your system is already connected to Lord Kuro's servers, so let's continue. Do you want this second chance or would you rather spend your eternal afterlife being tortured… Probably devour your soul eventually as well," She said sweetly, making my body shudder as I sat back down.
"Second chance please," I said quickly, making her nod.
"Good, at least you aren't stupid… Boring option though," She said with another laugh.
Was she flirting? After the torture and soul devouring threats? Hot. Can I change my choice?
Lucille didn't answer my thoughts this time, choosing to sit back in her chair and type away at her computer.
"You will be sent into a new world with a gamer system, though it seems like yours was a cheap copy of the one Lord Kuro made and gave to the guy who just left… functional though, especially with the tinkering Lord Kuro did," She said, typing away at her computer and glancing at her watch.
"You know what? There's a universe close enough to the one I just sent Jin too. It's a little more dangerous since Lord Kuro likes messing with things, but you can go there, whatever gets you out of here quickly." The woman said, pressing enter as I nodded.
'Who the fuck is Jin?'
"Since you agreed just sign the contract here," Lucille said, a long piece of paper appearing in front of me.
Much to her surprise(I assume her eyes widening was surprise, hopefully not anger) I began reading the contract.
Not one of my smarter moments, but seeing the woman getting angrier and angrier as the minutes passed by, I couldn't help myself.
"Hmm, I guess it checks out, do whatever I want, make sure to do my guild obligations… Oh that's it, why the hell is this so long? Who even wrote this?" I asked as I looked around for a pen.
It appeared in front of me and I quickly signed, ignored a pain in my hand. As I signed it in my blood.
'Harry Potter reference? Cool.'
I set the pen down and smiled at Lucille. If I got through this shit I was definitely coming back to bed her. She's almost too beautiful, wonder what her mom looks like…
Best way to cope with this situation is humor, hope, and thinking of it like a job interview. I just have to entertain these guys right? Hopefully I'll lose my virginity this time, I really wasted time trying to recreate Lookism in real life? Fuck me…
"Don't get your hopes up about fucking me, I prefer my men to be more… Open in my relationships," Lucille said with a smile as the contract disappeared and my vision went black.
Lucille let her smile drop as the new Gamer disappeared. She quickly left her office, ready to start her much needed day off.
'Two gamers to manage huh? The more the merrier I guess…' She thought as she teleported to her house…
…
Did I say I was excited about this? I lied, because no way in hell could I be excited about being thrown into the one place I'd never want to be.
Brockton Bay
The sign was rundown, graffiti all over it, but I could still read the city name clear enough.
Great, endbringers, superpowers, and probably some other shit if Lucille's words were to be taken seriously.
Welcome to The Guild!
I looked around, noting the disgusting streets with trash everywhere. At least I was still in America? I couldn't see where that voice had come from.
"Uhh, thanks?" I said a little louder than I intended and a homeless woman and her kid looked at me strangely.
"The fuck? You guys are homeless why are you acting like I'm the weird one?"
Talk in your head silly~
I gave one last glance toward the mother and nodded deciding to walk down the street, if the numerous 'Merchant' graffiti was any indicator, I was in one of the shittiest parts of Brockton bay.
Although, I'd hate to have to start this place in Empire territory, even if I think I could pull it off…
Wait no, Victor no Nazis!
Shaking my head at the random thought, I focused back on the voice.
'So, what's up?'
My legs right now, my boyfriend is trying to distract me from my job… But enough of that, I'm your Admin Lily, we'll be in close contact for the duration of your journey, however long or short that will be.
'Woah, like the guy in the chair? Girl in this case?'
Sure.
First things first, your system seems to have a few features we got rid of in our other models, but since they're here you might as well use them. You can start by choosing your world background
A holographic window popped up in front of me, displaying some options I could start off with.
Balance: 200
[Blank Slate]- Free
Start the world with no identity, no connections, and no advantages.
[Minor Start]- 150
Start the world with a small apartment, an identity, and no connections. Will also be given $1,000 to make things go smoothly during your first few days.
[Major Start]- 300
Choose 3 People in the world who will have memories of being close with you, a moderate house with some stand-in parents who remember raising you. $1,000
[Famous Start]- 2,000
You are already famous and established as a Hero/Villain/ Or Vigilante, You live in a large house alone with maids and butlers to tend to your needs. $10,000
So I only have 2 real options then? How do I even have a balance?
Lord Kuro converted the system credits The Chaos System uses into Guild Credits.
Doesn't really answer my question… I click Minor start and feel keys and an wallet appear in my pocket, as well as memories of a life here and where my apartment is.
A new screen pops up with perks I can choose but I can't afford any of them, probably should have been less hasty spending those credits…
You'll get some free skills when you choose your class, but would you like to take drawbacks? Each one will give you 50 guild credits as well as a perk equal to the drawback. You'll have perks at the start plus your class skills and however many credits.
Drawbacks huh? I know I probably shouldn't take any, but if I start the world with just some random class skill I'll die pretty quick.
Not from any danger mind you, but from boredom. The hell is the point in going to a fictional world if you don't have a bunch of cool abilities to go with it?
'Is there a limit on how many drawbacks I can get?'
Um… No? You can choose however many you want but I suggest-
'Give me ten,' I say, cutting Lily's sentence off and stopping in an alleyway, it's right next to my apartment so not a bad place to finish this shit up.
Well, it's your choice.
I look back at the screen as my drawbacks and perks load in. I guess people don't usually take that many drawbacks, but oh well it should be fine…

"That's a lot of shit…" I say, reading over everything as I enter my apartment. Couldn't stand sitting outside reading this any longer. I wanted to plop down on a bed and sleep for eternity.
'Wait,' I thought, cursing as I realized this was probably an effect of the first drawback I got.
The seven deadly sins can't be removed while most of the others can, or they can at least be altered. But looks like I'll be pretty sinful in this new life.
Most of the perks were pretty good, I was most excited about the cards and the 7 scepters, they seemed to be good tools in a world that's gonna have it out for me.
Would you like to purchase anything using your guild credits or are you ready for your tutorial quest? I just pulled it and it shouldn't be too hard for you.
"I'll save the credits, who knows when I'll need em," I answer as I plop down on the uncomfortable mattress.
The apartment has one bedroom, no other furniture besides the bed, and the bathroom smelled of mildew, yet it felt good to lay down.
As Lily brought up my first quest I thought back to my old life.
I couldn't remember my name, not with my new name 'Victor Marrows' in my mind now, but I remembered most of the details.
In this life I was just your average guy, went to school, studied, played video games. Then my parents died and I moved to Brockton Bay since it had cheap housing. My ID said I'm 16, guess I can keep my age? A Quick Look in the mirror was all I needed to know I'd be mistaken for younger though, closer to 14-15 if I was lucky.
I had black hair with streaks of gray dye in it, my eyes were blue and my skin was a sickly pale color.
It was probably due to the feeble body drawback, out of all of my drawbacks I think that one will be the most annoying at the start.
Chaos mod was pretty shit too but I would be less worried if I was in normal shape.
Despite feeling almost brittle, I could tell I had inhuman strength in my hands, it was just a feeling as I clenched them, I'd have to test my strength later to make sure.
Looking back at the system screen I saw my "Class." it was displayed under my numerous drawbacks and perks I'd received, marked as Level 1.
[The Jester]
The multiverses bastard. A unique class created by The One to serve at his side during his revenge against the guild. Last Jester was slain by Shiro Eis.
With the class came three starter skills and a trait.
[Quippy]-Passive
As The Jester, you constantly tell jokes and make sarcastic comments during battle. Slowly weakens your opponent with each one.
[Jester's Instinct]-Passive
Will make you dodge any melee attack no matter the speed or skill of your opponent.
[Trickster]- Active
Freely Change your appearance and voice.
[The Jester]
As The Jester you find it difficult to take anything serious. Showing a disinterest in anything that isn't "Exciting"
They weren't world breaking or anything, but honestly with all the perks I got earlier I didn't even mind.
Given the classes description, I assumed I'd only become more broken. Something about the system emphasizing this was a unique class made me pretty hopeful.
So, now that I'm free I can focus on you. Let's get you started on that tutorial. Probably the easiest one since it's so vague, you got lucky.
"Cool, I'm ready I guess,"
Tutorial Quest-
[Choose your Path]
Objective 1: In this world of Villains and Heroes, choose your path.
Reward: Full System Functions unlocked
"Oh… Thought it would be something real you know?"
Hey I don't make the quests, like I said this is the easiest tutorial quest possible.
"I'm grateful sure… But when I was reading over the drawbacks and perks I got I assumed the start of this shit would be… Exciting?"
Lily was silent for a moment, and I remembered the situation I was in.
Not only was I basically at the mercy of some bored gods looking for entertainment, but I wasn't even supposed to get this chance.
I hadn't been chosen really to join their guild, just kind of thrown into the sights of a lazy god who couldn't be bothered.
And now I'd basically insulted his daughter.
'Fuck.'
Quest Added
[Hunting Event]
Objective 1: Kill or Subdue your pursuers
Objective 2: Survive
Reward: ?
Penalty: You'll be dead
You have 5 minutes before you are hunted
"Woah Lily I'm sorry," I pleaded, when she didn't answer I just sighed. Guess I was getting hunted?
A hunting event? No idea what it meant but it definitely didn't sound good. Who wants to be hunted?
It's when characters from other universes spawn in to take you down, they'll have false memories or visions of you to make them hostile and want to kill you. You have 3 pursuers this time… If you survive this I'll send you a gift from the guild store. Good luck~
I was starting to think the girls in the guild were sadistic. Lucille saying she would torture me and devour my soul. Lily sending people after me barely 10 minutes into my new life…
God they're so hot.
I scan through my skills and items. It says kill or subdue my pursuers so I don't have to kill them. Hopefully I can just use the cards and trap them quickly.
Fuck, forgot you had those…
So I guess that confirms I can? I was suddenly way less worried about this whole thing.
With two minutes left I went outside, looking around and waiting as I tested the cards.
They were linked to my mind, I could freely make them float around me. I felt so badass with the deck of cards revolving around me, like Gambit from X-men.
I instinctively knew all I needed to trap someone was hit them with the face side.
With 30 seconds left I thought about the tutorial. I didn't really want to do cringe villain shit, but I definitely didn't want to do the classic hero stuff.
It could be The Jester affecting me, but why do I just wanna have fun?
"There you are," A cold voice says behind me as my body moves.
It takes me a second to realize I just dodged a punch from a short girl.
"Woah, nice tits," I say before I can stop myself, the green haired girl who had tried to punch me blushes, before her face contorts in anger.
"You killed the professor!" She yells, her tits bouncing as she goes to kick me.
My body dodges again, and I smile a bit. So this is Jester's dodge? I'm fucking unbeatable-
A biting pain erupts in my side as fire starts to burn away at my pants. Two more short girls(God they're so hot what the fuck?)
Orange hair, black hair, and blonde hair… Their outfits are familiar too.
"Are you guys the power puff girls?" I ask, patting away the fire as they all glare at me.
Fuck Lily, but also thank you Lily.
Even when she wanted to punish me it's clear I wouldn't die.
20 minutes ago I wouldn't have been sure, but now I have all this cool stuff, Black hair(Buttercup?) Can't even hit me. Blossom breathed fire but she didn't even bother to burn me to a crisp when she could, and I doubted the other one was any different.
"Let's play," I say, feeling myself smile. This shit isn't funny Victor, come on…
This Jester shit was gonna piss a lot of people off, mostly me. Then again…
My cards swirled around my body, blocking buttercups next attack as I jumped back. This was the perfect time to test my limits. While I could feel the strength and speed my body could handle, I knew I wouldn't be able to handle anymore than three hits, less if buttercup managed to actually hit me.
"Hmm… Sugar, Spice, Honey, those are your new names girls," I said with a smirk, feeling [Quippy] working. I hadn't even really meant to say that, but I guess it counted?
"You're spice by the way," I said as I dodged another attack from buttercup, speeding up and dodging Blossom's fire.
The last one, bubbles I think her name was, just stood and watched, a sweet smile on her face. It was unnerving, especially since they apparently thought I killed their father.
"Woah got stuff, we fighting or flirting?" I said as I sent a few cards flying toward blossom, grinning as I saw them cut into her body.
I just found my go to weapon for sure, I really felt like Gambit now.
"Wait where did…" My eyes widened as my body seized up, a heavy force smashed into my back, I could feel my bones shaking under the force of the attack.
As I slammed into a wall I coughed, looking at Bubbles standing where I had been.
Jester's dodge isn't invincible I guess.
The three girls stood in front of my body, two of them looking down at me with pure anger, yet Bubbles was still smiling.
"Heh… We going another round? I don't think I can handle all three of you at once, but I'll try~"
Crack
"You bastard," Buttercup hissed as she slammed her foot into my stomach. At least one of my ribs were broken.
As she raised her leg again I grinned, using [Trip] for the first time.
Buttercup stumble, missing entirely as I placed one card under her thigh. Instantly she was sucked into the card, and it continued floating in the air as the other two girls widened their eyes in shock.
"Finally wiped that smile off your face," I said with a cough as I looked at bubbles, forcing myself to roll and jump up.
Everything hurt, my strength and speed were better, but I had zero chance if I took another hit.
It didn't feel real, even when I was talking to Lucille, even when I was talking to Lily, none of this had felt real.
That fire had hurt though, so I couldn't be dreaming. Hell was always an option, but for the first time today I fully accepted everything.
I have a second chance to have a fun life and never be bored, I have powers and cool weapons. The drawbacks weren't good but hey I could handle it.
"Buttercup!" Blossom yelled, flying toward me faster than I could track and attempting to punch through me.
Jester's dodge may not have dodged her fire, but it dodged all melee attacks, so my body twisted and she completely missed as I slammed a card against her back.
'[Focus'
Everything slowed down, I saw blossom about to shoot fire at me, and bubbles now looked mad as she raised her arms.
It was all too slow, focus allowed me to think and plan the best way to get out of this.
One chance, that's all I had.
'I want something cool Lily,' I said as I let my cards burst away, time resuming.
Blossom got hit by a card and disappeared, but bubbles managed to just fly out of the way.
"You've been a bad girl," I say as I redirect the cards to follow her. "Just take daddy's punishment," I finish as she looks panicked.
She flys down at me, probably to try and finish me off.
"Gotcha!" I yell, holding up the only card I was holding as she smacked into me.
I flew back, tumbling in the road and feeling multiple bones breaking.
Stupid weak body, the fuck is the point of enhanced speed and strength when I can't take hits. Fuck drawbacks.
If you somehow survive you'll have finished the quest, but it might be over for you… Well these things happen
I won't lie, hearing Lily acting nonchalant when I was laying on the ground possibly dying kind of pissed me off.
"Feeling my bones knit back together is so fucking weird… But I bet I look damn cool," I said with a smile, coughing a bit as I laid there and waited for my Demigod blood to work it's magic.
The thing about tricksters gambit was that it didn't have specific restrictions. I could change anything and everything about my appearance, it even extended to my clothes. Guess I don't need to worry about my hero costume.
Yes, I'd decided to go the hero route. Given what I knew about this world it'd be better to do some hero shit for a while.
If I got bored I'd just leave, nothing to it.
I'd be independent though, fuck the PRT and there corrupt mess of an organization. New wave wouldn't be bad though, Amy and Victoria around…
"Hmm, so I can heal shit like that in just 39 minutes? Also these Jester skills are such cheats Lily, I can camouflage against a wall?" He said as he got up, stretching as he walked back up to his apartment.
He hadn't eaten yet, but he needed to do other things first.
When in a fictional world, learn everything that's different.
'Hey Lily are you allowed to tell me anything about the world or am I on my own?' I asked, hopping into my shower and rinsing off.
I'm on break, also no.
I'd decided to fuck with my appearance a bit. I didn't care if my body was sick and could be broken easily, I'm not gonna let it look like it is.
So I changed my skin tone back to its original caramel color, my hair looked pretty badass so I kept it, but I've always wanted exotic eyes, so guess who has deep violet eyes? Me bitch.
On that note though, how do I even remove my drawbacks? The first one I wanted to get rid of was feeble body.
I probably could have beat those powerpuff girls pretty easily if I wasn't joking around and not taking anything seriously.
But I can't take things seriously, so I can't even use that excuse. I just wanted to be strong, Op right off the bat, and now I was paying the price(Without any of the Opness, who made this game?)
Quest Added
[Feeble Body]
Objective: Tank 100 hits(0/100)
Reward: [Feeble Body] removed
'At least that won't be too hard, could probably knock that out in a couple of days,' I thought as I got out of the shower, my eyes widening as I saw the luxurious mansion I was suddenly in.
Good enough? I bought a medium priced house upgrade but I can get the most expensive one if you really wanna milk me.
I looked outside, seeing I was suddenly in a gated off area. I was still in the shitty parts of Merchant territory, but I had my own couple of acres.
All the other apartments had been pushed around to make room for my new mansion.
I didn't answer Lily, mainly because I was still a bit standoffish from before, but also because I didn't want to give her the satisfaction.
So petty~ Was that quest even bad? It was just a couple of weak girls right? Now you have maids for your new mansion.
I felt my face heat up after she said that, I swear I was never this perverted or horny in my life, but as soon as she said maids all I could think about was the 3 girls kneeled down and worshipping my dick.
Shaking my head I focused back on Lily.
"Hey what happens when I choose a path? Like if I choose hero will I be forced to do certain shit?"
The only way you can be forced to do anything is with a penalty, you're not a slave. If you chose hero path you'd probably just get more hero centered quests from the system. I give you some quests not all of them.
"Works for me, I'll go ahead and do hero shit for now," I said, ignoring the new notification as I jumped into my new bed.
"So comfy," I said with a yawn. I could probably do more on my first day, but seeing the bed made me forget about all of that. I just wanted to sleep…
Three hours later I snapped awake, my body covered in cold sweat as I jumped off the bed and threw up.
Fucking gross.
I groaned. "Thanks for the feedback, why didn't you tell me the nightmares drawback was so intense? I can stomach a lot, but that… That's some fucked up shit."
I sighed at the puddle of vomit in front of me. Maybe Lily was onto something with the maid idea. I'm not gonna clean this shit up.
Hearing my stomach growling I grimaced, I didn't like the idea of never being able to eat real food again. I'd have to remove that one soon.
I quickly brushed my teeth and put a bunch of the expensive towels in the bathroom to cover the vomit, definitely turning the power puff's into my maids soon, if that was gonna happen each time I slept they'd come in handy.
I had hundreds of random outfits in my closet as well, the mansion was a nice reward, I wasn't even mad at Lily anymore.
Victor Marrows, living a life of luxury, I could get behind that.
Despite my initial thoughts, this world wasn't just worm. I had been worried about random fictional characters coming to hunt me whenever Lily got mad. Not because it didn't seem fun, but because of how they could affect the world.
My worries were useless though, since this world was more fucked than I thought.
Next to Merchant territory was "Ghoul" territory, a group of capes infected with Cape Decay Syndrome.
It only took one search to find out that Tokyo Ghoul was part of this world, I also saw some bullshit about the joker so I can safely assume Dc was thrown in the mix.
I couldn't care less about the mixed world though, I was too busy trying to see if the Lookism cast was here as well. Unfortunately nothing came up no matter what I searched.
I wouldn't give up hope though, if even the smallest inkling of them appeared I'd quit all this worm x other bullshit and go hangout with them.
"That'll be $607.89…" The cashier in front of me said, frowning as they looked at the large pile of different chocolate bars and squares I had placed there.
I handed them the debit card in my wallet, I should have $1,000 to start with so this should be fine.
I get all the same nutritional benefits from eating chocolate and candy anyway, I didn't want to test what eating real food would do to me.
"Would you like to apply for a store card? You'll save 5% with every purchase you make."
I glared at the cashier, I didn't get any special store cards in my past life, I sure as hell wasn't starting now.
Then again… It would help until I got rid of my drawbacks.
As I was thinking a middle aged man walked out from the back room, looking happy as he bit into a bagel.
I don't know why I hyperfixated on the man, though I'm sure it had something to do with my seven sins drawback.
I reached out absentmindedly and grabbed his bagel, bitting into it just to see.
"Hey what the fuck are you-" The man didn't finish his sentence as bagel and spit landed on his face.
That shit was disgusting, it tasted like rancid shit, I think anyway I've never tried shit.
The point is that it had tasted bad.
"Yeah I'm fine without the store card sir, can I get some bags?" I said, grimacing as the after taste of the bagel was still in my mouth.
The other man was silent as the cashier bagged my chocolate. I don't eat candy, so chocolate is what I'm going with.
"Later, sorry about the bagel," I said as I walked out. I definitely need to figure out how my traits affect me.
Part of me wants to take everything in that store, then another part wants to devour all the chocolate right now, and then another wants to play a game.
'This shits fucked…' I thought as I made my way back home, I'd have yo do the feeble body quest tonight, I doubt letting people hit me during daytime would go well.
Dc, Tokyo Ghoul, Worm, and My Hero Academia.
Out of those four confirmed to be apart of this world, the one I knew the least about was MHA.
Don't get me wrong it seemed like a perfectly fine series, but seeing the fans that it had produced, I hadn't bothered watching most of it.
UA existed, but instead of a highschool it was a college, home to children of other capes.
Apparently "Quirks" only manifested in children of capes at the age of 4, if they didn't have a quirk by 6 years old they were more likely to trigger later in life.
Unlike other triggers, these next generation could trigger at the slightest inconvenience, like stubbing their toe or being rejected.
It was ridiculous to read about, this world had so much more to offer than the original, way more opportunities to have fun.
Wait… This isn't fun the fuck am I talking about?
Despite my hesitation I could feel my desire to go out and start messing with all the different people in the world, I'd have to make a hero debut soon, and I had the perfect target.
I was able to change anything about my appearance, including my clothes, it made my closet full of expensive clothing pretty obsolete, but whatever.
I'd already designed my costume, if I was The Jester I would dress like it.
I wouldn't bother hiding my face, since I could change it to whatever I wanted while using my alter ego.
The thing about The Jester trait, I was finding it pretty hard to do something real, all I wanted to do was go out and mess with people, but I had bigger plans than being a joke hero.
My "suit" was a a multicolored mess of clothing, pants and an open shirt(I can change my appearance freely I'm showing off my fake muscles) but the weirdest thing were the two hornlike things with bells at the end.
It looked cool, made me feel badass, but there was one problem.
The Joker. How could I let a villain so close to my costume design wander freely?
I had my pride, and I wasn't going to be accused of copying that loser. Luckily, he was based right here in Brockton bay, the perfect villain to jumpstart my career.
Quest Added
[Debut]
Objective 1: Take down "The Joker"
Objective 2: Destroy Jokers base of Operations.
Optional Objective: Take down Harley Quinn
Reward: 100 GC, +10 Reputation with [Brockton Bay]
Well I was planning on doing all that shit anyway, but I won't deny rewards for it.
I unwrapped a chocolate as I sat in my large dining area, munching down on the caramel sea salt bar.
Seems if it's chocolate based I can still eat it, I'd have to see if chocolate covered food counts as eating chocolate, a task for another day.
For now… It was time to get ready for my debut.
Some other Multiverse
The planet was up in flames, meteors smashing against the world as people screamed and prayed.
"Uhh D- Sage," A shirtless man called out to the man laying in the sand, drinking from a beer bottle and smiling at the collapsing planet.
"What is it Ambrose?" Sage asked, looking at his first Gamer with a soft smile.
It had taken a while for Ambrose to finally ascend to a level he could use, but with the war behind him he didn't know what to do with his little Cult Leader.
"Why'd you provoke the guild like that? I know you don't like them or whatever but do you need to provoke them? I'm not tryna fight those guys again, even if you gave me the upgrade."
Sage frowned. "Provoke them? I really did send that kid there on accident though? I meant to just have him chill in the Lookism universe I made a few decades back, not my fault the chaos system steered him off course…"
Ambrose stared at Sage in shock. 'Is he Serious?'
This question lingered in his mind as the lava and rocks began raining down on the two gamers.
"Well what do we do if The Sloth decides to do something to us?" Ambrose asked, frowning as he remembered the war all those millennia ago.
Sage chuckled at the question. "Kuro is more likely to fall asleep on the way here than actually attack us, besides… Do you think I'll lose?"
Ambrose shivered as Sage stared at him, The One's golden eyes peering into his very soul.
Sage stopped a second later, still grinning as he looked at the rapidly collapsing world.
"Guess that's enough of this world, time to get back to work… You think The Dead is holding up well? My DxD worlds tend to be harder…" Sage said, stopping time and standing up, a long open trench coat appearing on his torso. "Well, Fuck this noise Ambrose, go destroy the Narutoverse again," He said before vanishing, leaving Ambrose as the world was engulfed in flames.
'I've done that like 9 million times already though…' He thought with a sigh as he bit his hand, letting it drip into the sand.
It formed into a girl the same age as him, her blush evident as she looked up at him with starry eyes.
"Sup Hermione, would you like to join me on my adventures once again?" He asked, patting her head.
"Yes my Lord, I've studied up on the multiverse more and it doesn't seem like a big deal…"
"Then let's go" he said as both of them vanished, leaving the planet to fully collapse…
A/N: Guys look, I'm canon!
Besides that though, Victor is going to be mostly on the "Good" side of things, he'll probably do some fucked up shit sometimes, most likely due to one of his sins, but for the most part he'll stay on the more good side unless something changes later on in my writing.
Yes he'll get more Jester abilities later, yes I'm adding to GOG lore because it's fun, and yes I have permission from Shiro to make this and reference his characters.
Last thing, I have several different ways I want this story to go, and without any real plot I want to follow right now, I'll probably leave it up to you guys using votes and stuff. With that said vote on what happens first in the next chapter.
[] Victor Tracks down The Joker and takes him down, finishing his Debut Quest
[] Victor Brings out The Powerpuff girls, making them his maids using any means necessary
[] Victors Nightmares
[] Victor goes out to complete his Feeble Body quest
All of these things are going to happen in the next chapter, just vote on which one I start with. There'll be more votes later on that determine where I'll go with the story, but that is it for now, stay tuned.
