Chapter 2 - Jump City

Daily Luck Roll:

20

Today will be a great day for you

Honestly, that's a good roll for today after the shit I just went through.

Enzo here, college student, died to some druggie cause said man wants more drugs, got stabbed in the gut 12 times for not giving up my money.

Like dude, you ambushed me on the way home. All I got after a day of slugging through college are fucking coins, not bills. Motherfucker immediately killed me for that shit and now I get to live like that guy because I signed Death's Contract.

Aka Play his game of DnD.

Nice one me 👍

Although my character build rolls are bad but it will do. The zero criminal record makes sure I can still walk out in public aka I can have a double life. Too bad I lost my gun, that makes my gun skills useless at the moment. For now, what I need is stability and get my bearings.

Currently, I'm in my rundown apartment. Rented but cheap. Not enough furniture, just a couch and tv at the living room and some basic utensils at the kitchen. The bedroom wasn't much. A simple cabinet for clothes and my stuff. Nothing to see much and nothing useful except the knives in the kitchen for my stabby stab skill but a kitchen knife is too big and hardy to walk around with. It's remedied by a simply finding a screwdriver, might as well improvise.

Now, time to explore Jump City.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damn, I look basic as fuck.

I'm still an adult (Age 24, thankfully but with my boring ah features. Dark hair, combed neatly, still a short king of 4'11 and some boring a blue shirt and thick pants.

"I still look like me." I muttered, rather pleased and disappointed. Was hoping for a makeover but Death ain't too lenient for that.

Taking my attention away from the shop window I'm using as a mirror, I resumed my wandering.

Why am I aimlessly wandering around?

I actually don't know. I just do to find something or anything to move in this world. Death didn't give me a goal, simply build my character and dropped me randomly in this world and do my shit.

So I might as well work with my class, become a criminal.

But how, that is the true question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sundown is already upon me when I finally went home.

Turns out, the Titans haven't formed yet. This is sleepy ol Jump City with zero villains with a bit of criminal gangs roaming around but zero Hero vs Villain activity.

My second discovery is a stat sheet.

Enzo Lv.1

HP: 25

Str: 4

Agi: 5

Int: 6

This is some legit sad stats.

The day is already ending yet my Nat20 rolls is gonna be wasted. That line of thought came to a halt when something streaked across the sky and crashed into the city downtown.

I smirked. Payday came early.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the origin episode of the Teen Titans. This is the point of time when Starfire first landed on Jump City after escaping her captors, the Gordanians, a slaver alien species. Here, our favorite girl Starfire will cause a commotion in her rampage to get off her handcuffs, gaining attention from the rest of the Titans to come together to stop her. Later on, the Gordanian ship will come and take the city hostage until Starfire is recaptured, causing the team to storm the ship.

Saving the day, the Teen Titans will form.

So where do I come in this and why am I running towards the ruckus Starfire is making. The answer is rather simple.

Alien tech.

The Gordanians wield spears that fires off laser beams, an alien weapon. That tech alone would sell in the black market as weapons and major companies would kill to buy said tech for reverse engineering.

I need to secure as many alien weapons as I can for money and to evolve my class!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dang girl, chill!

I whistle as our girl threw a freaking bus only to be caught by someone, that's probably cyborg with that huge physique and covered hoodie. Starfire really made a mess in her arrival. Broken structures, wrecked roads and tons of flattened cars. Basically a whole mile of property damage. I pity Robin's bank account after this cause it's probably gonna come out from his allowance from Batman to fix this mess.

What? It's Starfire who made this mess, of course the city will ask for compensation or the girl will jailed for property damage. Let me remind you dear readers, Starfire is not yet a hero at this point of canon.

She still hasn't that Hero stamp of Except from property damage.

As for me, I'm hiding my ass a few blocks away, peeking at the alleyway to see the chaos. I ain't risking my presence near the team with Raven. That girl can sense emotions and I bet she can smell my fucking greed.

As lust, a ton of lusts.

Sue me, I went through puberty watching Teen Titans. Who doesn't wanna tap those? And no I'm not talking about Robin.

And so I waited and waited as the chaos escalated and deescalated in after some talking and a smooch to the lips, lucky bird. That small respite was then thrown out of the window when the Gordanian ship arrived, threatening to fire on the city if the locals hinder their recapture of Starfire.

Man, they're so lucky the Justice League didn't come for their ass but I bet the Green Lanterns gave them some political shit for doing this shit on Earth.

And that's my cue to follow the sound of mayhem.

And boy it was a mess. The Titans fought the Gordanians on a video store. Whoever owned store, hope he got insurance for all the things destroyed. Although the fight was one sided in the Titans favor, it doesn't help them in the long run. What happened instead is a countdown as the Gordanian commander ordered to fire on the city for interfering in their objective.

That's our heroes cue to save the city.

And my cue to loot all these sweet sweet alien tech.

Oh mama, payday!
