'Well shit, guess I'm dead'
I was a bit shocked at first and definitely wary what the hell is happening to me. Surprisingly, though, I wasn't afraid–per se. Instead, I felt melancholic and a sense of guilt when I realized it wasn't just me who had died, but my brother as well.
'Haaah, my brother was never really that keen on religion, so I'll pray to RNGesus in his stead, in the hopes he may be taken in to his sanctum of chaos and chance.'
Oh? You want to know what happened to us? Well, earlier(can't recall how much earlier), me and my brother were driving out of town to vist some old friends, we got the news that one of them got engaged and we were on our way to celebrate with the boys.
Then Truck-kun jumpscared us, appearing out of f*cking no where and decided to see if it could Isekai our asses to another world.
That is how I ended up here in this dark abyss for... let's say it was far too long for me to remember, as I've started to talk with myself like a protagonist of a fourth-rate fanfic.
Haven't quite lost my sanity just yet, but I certainly feel like I'm getting there. In the meantime I've just been silently praying to RNGesus in the hopes for salvation.
And salvation came it did.
As the once-dark abyss was shattered by radiant chromatic lights, a humanoid figure appeared, dressed in constantly shifting, biblical-style robes of color. One hand gave a middle-finger gesture while the other offered a thumbs-up. Its face was a twenty-sided die, endlessly rolling and changing numbers.
...RNGesus, is that you?
[It is not yet your time my child.]
[You and your sibling have experienced far too much karma not of your own making.]
[Therefore, I shall give you a second chance, you will recive my special gift and a reincarnation, however you know the rules my child... your life will be decided on the dice.]
[DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHAOS GACHA: YES/NO]
Stunned, in that moment all I could do was just be stunned, yes I believed in RNGesus, hell I even lead a very small church(cult) in his name, and now?
I found myself looking up at the figure with growing excitement as the being I believe not only exist but even notice me!–MY SENPAI NOTICED ME!!—
[*Ahem... would you please give me your answer my child.]
Yes!!–a thousand time yes over, I didn't even need to think about it. Even if I wasn't a believer I'd still accept this, after all most people would want to live a second life and would say yes just based on that alone, let alone be granted a gift on top of that.
[....Are you sure, I may not be the figure you believe in, but an entity that wish to do you harm.]
Meh, I'd gamble.
[Fufu, as expected my child]
[AFFIRMING USER... REGISTRATION COMPLETELE.]
[CHAOS GACHA IS ONLINE.]
________________________________________
●You have required 3 Golden Random Tickets
●World Transfer will initiates once all Tickets have been spent. Note: You will roll for the new world.
●Will be allowed to roll [Penalties Tickets] if you wish after spending the initial tickets.
________________________________________
[For a bit of context, the tickets granted by the system will allow you to roll the corresponding gacha they align with.]
[A good example would be the starting tickets, random tickets can give anything, ranging from items, skills, families, traits, and abilities, and because these are gold tickets their quality will naturally be higher.]
[Also be noted you will have to roll for what world you will be reincarnated into.]
'That's so cooool!!~... but what about these penalties tickets?'
[Penalties tickets are tickets that gives you an advantage roll with a quality similar to gold tickets, however you will also be forced into rolling a "curse" that may or may not have massive impact in your second life.]
[I must advise being heavily cautious and think the matter VERY THOROUGHLY, before rolling one.]
Oooooh~, that's very interesting, but another question I have is, would there be an unlimited number of penalties tickets I can take?
[???—theoretically yes? But like I just said, you must seriously think about it before rolling one, why ask this question child??]
No reason at all, may I began my rolls my lord?
[...Sure.]

A Rare Trait!
Disciple
|Rare Trait|

________________________________________
Nice! Already my first ticket and it's already a good one, sure it may not give me immediate strength or power, it's still pretty good in the long run.
Now the second one please!
[Of course.]
________________________________________
Rolling Random Gold Ticket...
A Rare Item!
The Chariot
|Rare Item|
Tarot Card - Allows you to teleport to any location within your range of perception or even through a camera. 120 hour cooldown
________________________________________
Now that's definitely useful in getting out of sticky situation or when I need the clutch.
Alright last ticket!
________________________________________
Rolling Random Gold Ticket...
An Elite Item!
Black Marlin
|Elite Item|
Akame Ga Kill - The user can control any liquid around themselves, including water and blood with simple hand gestures by expending their energy/mana. However, it only functions in the presence of water or any other form of liquid around. Oftentimes, the water takes the shape of serpents or dragons.
________________________________________
Huh, I kinda remember this item, I believe it was from Akame Ga Kill, it's been awhile since I've seen the anime....
Anyways, It's a pretty good item overall, though it may end up being useless if I get reborn in a world lacking water, but on the bright side I'd be extremely powerful if I went to a water based world. Not to mention if I'm clever enough and it can probably be very helpful, especially the blood manipulation aspect.
[Now that you've spent all your random tic—]
Yes, I would like to keep going and roll a penalty ticket.
[....Are you absolutely sure?]
Yup! And don't worry, I know when to stop, I even have a safe word, it's seven.
[.....haaah, very well.]
Then infront of me appeared a 20-sided dice, that fell into my hands, meaning I'll have to roll it manually, which is probably more terrifying but... certainly more thrilling.
And so threw with my 8 years experience of rolling a 20-sided dice, watching how it bounces against a surface that didn't exist previously until stopping at an... 15.
15= Major Curse: Leviathans
[Curse–Leviathans]
|Severity: Major|
"Detecting multiple Leviathan-class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?" The world you are in is occupied by several giant, powerful monsters that possess a special animosity towards humanity.
Oooof... um... ah, uh.. s-sorry to every resident of the new world... l-let's see what I got from that!!

Or
Adept Kama Sutra
|Rare Skill|
You are very talented in the carnal art, being able to spot signs of arousal and attraction, in addition, you instinctively know how to pleasure your partner in bed and be a very pleasant recipient, enhancing pleasure for both of you.
________________________________________
Alright, not the best of rolls considering the fact that I MAY have caused a monster apocalypse in the new world, but if I had to choose it'd probably be the Adept Karma Sutra.
Although angle style is an ability that could enhance my physical aspects, having it's boost depend entirly at how much I'm wearing seems like a disadvantage, considering I may never truly be fully naked since I'll obviously keep Items on me like the Black Marlin.
So I might as well get the skill that'll make me and my future partner happy, besides I still have a chance to might have a chance to roll better abilities.
Thus, before RNGesus could say anything, I grab the dice and threw it once more.
...16=Major Curse: Gluttony
[Gluttony]
|Severity: Major|
Your body needs a lot of food to function, and I mean a lot. You need to consume 10x of what you usually need to consume to function. Meaning you will starve in less than 3 days, or even faster if you choose not to eat.
|Resolve: Acquire certain traits that can absolve this curse, or devour at least 5 rare ranked items or equivalents|
F*ck! that is REALLY bad, if I end up reborn in world lacking food I'm cooked, hell even if I get reborn in a modern world I'll still greatly struggle, though I guess I'm lucky enough that there's a way to get rid of this curse.
[Which is why I warned you about the dangers of doing penalties tickets my child.]
[Honestly, I advise you to stop and simply begin your transfer now.]
Yeah, about that, I'm not going to do that, after all you said I'll have to roll for this new world I'm going to reincarnate in, any world by the way.
Which Includes the boys, berserk, 40k and possibly many other similar worlds. If I am reborn in any of these, I am ABSOLUTELY cooked, and the leviathans curse didn't exactly help either.
So I am going to keep rolling until I get an unfathomably powerful—something, or until after my seventh penalty roll.
Now if you excuse me my lord, I would like to see what I got for this penalty ticket.

Gimme that dragon projection ability any day of the f*cking week!—Sure, conjure shadow beast seems interesting, but it cannot compare to summoning dragons limbs!
There's also the aura farming aspect, the most important aspect in an ability.
Now, for roll number three!
...2=Minor Curse: Loner
[Loner]
|Severity: Minor|
You have the aura of a loner around you, making you often left out. It is more difficult to get people to pay attention to you, and it is harder for you to get recognised for your actions. Your parents probably forgot you at the store too often.
|Resolve: Perform a feat that gets a large range of attention on you, such as publicly defeating a well-known enemy.|
Nice~! Compared to the other two curses, this is practically a freebie, after all I need to defeat a well-known enemy, not a strong one, I can probably clear this curse relatively early with just dragon projection alone.

Zero Gravity
|Uncommon Ability|
Your body moves as if it is in a zero-gravity environment, allowing you to freely float, although without much control.
Or
Nothing Strange
|Uncommon Trait|
There is nothing strange about you. People try to normalize your weirdness or oddities, like why you keep skipping out on class, how you speak weirdly or how it's weird to kiss your relatives in the mouth. Just the normal stuff.
________________________________________
Immediately I'm picking nothing strange, after all from the dragon projection description, I can just project dragon wings on my back and fly, so now it kinda makes zero gravity redundant, it also seem to effect my body only.
As for nothing strange being able normalize some the things of I do, can greatly help hide or at least rationalize certain abilities and items. Though I don't how effective it is, it should still provide me something useful.
Now fourth roll!
...8=Medium Curse: Yandere
[Yandere]
|Severity: Medium|
There is a yandere out there yearning for your love, and she won't take no for an answer, and she will not be very willing to listen to reason.
|Resolve: Find the Yandere and either dispatch or pacify them. This will not get rid of their romantic feelings towards you, but will stop the gacha from supplying them with a Yandere Rage towards you.|

But for now, my sixth roll!
...6= Minor Curse: Lil'
[Lil']
|Severity: Minor|
You are a Lil' thing. Which means you are pretty short and look way younger than you should look; people might mistake you for being way younger than you are. Good luck getting people to take you seriously in a professional setting or trying to buy alcohol. The curse does not affect your physical strength.
|Resolve: Get your body altered by a biokinetic effect that is rare rank or above.|
...Okay, I can deal with this, I mean it's not great having to be a shota, but it's still better than some of the other curses, especially since I still have a chance to absolve this curse.

Such a hard choice... not! Oddyseus Draw any day of the week!
Now my seventh and final roll!
...12=Intermediate curse: Cursed Remix
[Cursed Remix]
|Severity: Intermediate|
The world you are going to is different from the one you remember, not so much that the flow of fate is completely changed, but enough to make your life harder. Maybe some people have different parents, more monster varieties exist, some people aren't dead, some people are, who knows? There might be more beneficial changes for you, but they are definitely more than balanced out by the bad.

You are also skilled at not seeming ""uncool"" such as avoiding tripping, stuttering, if you mess up you will have a better time at recovering to not lose your ""Aura"".
________________________________________
Now this is a very hard choice, it's given that bloodlust can be very helpful to someone from a modern wolrd like myself who have never been in any fight before much less kill.
But aura farming though....
Eh, f*ck it we ball, give me aura farming.
[..... Do you wish to continue my child?]
Mmmmmm... naw, calling it quits now, anymore and I feel like be smited by lady luck for getting overly greedy.
[Rest assured my mother will not do such a thing, probably.]
Wha—
[In any case, it is time to for your transfer, simply pick up the dice and roll once more.]
Alright, I hope it isn't somewhere batsh*t insane...
...17=Major World: DC
Oh f*c—
INITIATING WORLD TRANSFER
Then before I could say anything everything returned to the pitch black abyss, only this time my conscious was fading out, only hearing "safe travels child" from RNGesus before everything shuts off.
■—■—■—■—■
Author: Hey everyone~! I know it's been about 2 months but I'm back... kinda.
You see lately things have looking up for me, for example I manged to get into a health care program that will several months in which I will be trying to get an C.N.A, Phlebotomist, PCT, and E.K.G certifications.
Which manged to placate my parents, allowing me to stay under their roof without the worrying of them kicking me out! 🎉
This granted me SOME time to write again, but NOT A LOT of time, meaning the three fanfics I've canceled will for now stay canceled, unfortunately enough.
You see I'm someone who likes to world build, and I mean REALLY likes to world build. For example if I was writing about Minotaurs, I would write an entire page of subspecies and regional variants of them, with their own unique traits, cultures and histories, and that would only be for one species.
Which takes a lot time that I will not have, so I decided to try write an easy-going fanfic in the DC Universe. I specifically choose DC, it'll allow to write creatively without the worrying of screwing up the contentuity, if I screwed up writing a character personality—"oh, it's just alternate universe in the DC verse." Of course I'll still try to make their personality interesting.
I also don't have to worry about the power scaling in DC since some universe you have something like the golden/silver age universes, or you have the animated harely quinn show.
The universe the MC is going to will be around the mid section, possibly a little higher because of that f*cking Leviathans curse...
Anyways, I decided to drop this prologue to see how well it'll do, if it's doing good I'll drop a chapter at least every one to two weeks at best, depends on my studies.
And if it doesn't do well, then I'll still drop a chapter in like once a month or so.
It also really depends on my mood since I'm not that good of a writer and can get writer's block easily, but hey, I'm only writing to have fun.
So if you enjoy it great, if not then I hope you find something that will.
In any case, till we meet again!
