Death Is Only The Beginning Chp 1
#THIRD POV#
We see a 20-year-old man in a wheelchair working on a computer filling out form after form
He looks rather unremarkable things considered, he looks average in height, looks, and pretty much everything else
He smiles as he works
He has a small business that is growing month by month
He leans back on his wheelchair as he finishes his workload for the day
He leaves his 'office' and goes to his kitchen to prepare something to eat
He gets some frozen chicken out and places it on the sink as he turns on the hot water
Looking out the window he sees the clear sky and wonders if his family misses him
#MC POV#
"I wonder if they miss me," I say while looking at the sky
My parents and I went to a college that has a good special needs department
After I was done filling out the applications and forms I went outside and called for my parents since they had to pick up my sisters from school
They never answered back
So I went home in my wheelchair and even though it was around 4 miles away I made it back home
Except that there was a For Sale sign on the front yard with a letter on the front
I sigh remembering the letter
My parents moved and my sisters being 11 left with them as well
In the letter, they explained just how much of a burden I was since I was born unable to walk and how they wished I had died to save them the trouble.
It hurt a lot
I cried for an hour before a police officer drop by and talked to me saying that there was a call about a disturbance, I noticed the Ring Camara was on and I figure out that my parents were watching me, the officer asked that I am causing a commotion even if he looked completely awkward while doing so
I explained everything to Officer Swanson about how they left me at the college and I showed paperwork to prove that I lived there until then
The officer asked if I had a place to stay and I answered that I had my grandparents he offered to take me there and he took me to them and he stayed with me while I explained and gave them the letter
To say they were angry is an understatement
They took me in and helped me in my lowest moments as what my parents did hurt me far too much for me to forgive them
My sisters though, I miss them every day
I turn my wheelchair to my kitchen and think about tomorrow
I have a meeting with my employer
#NEXT DAY#
"Thanks, I will go in then," I said as I move my wheelchair over to my boss's office
20 minutes later I am out of his office with a huge smile on my face
I have been promoted
I go back home while picking up groceries on the way
As I pay the cash register he suggests I purchase a scratch ticket and I do so with a lot of hesitation I scratch to find out I won the lottery
I just won 10,000,000 dollars
FUCK YEAH
I make sure to keep quiet until I can redeem it
As I get home I notice that some stuff has been moved
I moved to get my phone before a loud bang interrupts me
Something hits my shoulder and I am sent forward from my wheelchair
I cry out in pain and use my left arm to turn me around only to see my mother with a pistol and my dad with a shotgun
My mom shoots me right in the left arm and I barely catch a glimpse of my dad with his jaw opened impossibly wide aiming his shotgun before I see nothing else
I open my eyes again in shock at what just happened
I move my hands and notice that I am not injured but I can still move my body
I gasp as I move my legs but I can't actually feel anything
"I can move them," I say in wonder before taking in my surroundings
It looks weird
Everything looks a pure white color yet for some reason it doesn't seem right as if the color shouldn't exist yet it does but I am not actually blind in here as I can see my own body with no issues, there is just nothing here
"Wow, I didn't think anyone from there made it to this place then again, then again Trover did kill lady luck" I hear a voice and look towards the one who said it
Only to see someone glowing golden with no discernable features to speak of
"Umm, hi," I said for some reason really calm after what happened
"Hello, nice to meet you," He said and I open my mouth to speak again but he raises his hand
"Listen there is a lot going on at the moment so here," He says and in that moment information about what really happened to me hit me
"The Mandela Catalogue," I say as I learn why my parents abandoned me
They were being hunted by beings from another dimension eventually they were killed along with my sisters and then I was hunted and killed by them
"Those things, they are evil," I say and I look toward him as I now know who this one is
God
"Yup, now I know what it is you want right now is revenge against them, but you will get killed if you go back to your world as you are now," He says and I sigh at that
"So what now?" I ask
"Well, now I give you a chance to get any type of system, by spinning the wheel," He said and a wheel appeared and I took my time to look at the options
"Why?" I ask
"Because you are the one that I am hoping brings about positives changes to everything,"
"What do you mean?"
"The reason those things found your world in the first place was because of someone called Trevor actions. He killed Lady Luck," 'He' said much to my confusion
"Lady Luck had been manipulating events throughout all of existence making people suffer and enjoyed watching them suffer. She was very powerful, but Trevor chose to annihilate her existence and put even more restrictions on beings like her. A lot of restrictions because of her actions, in doing so not many others can interact with creation. When she was annihilated many things that were 'impossible' before have now become possible. I want you to help out as much as possible. I have seen your life and while not as bad as others I have watched. You stayed true to yourself and did not let the doppelgangers of your parents bring you down," He said and I stayed silent as I am still processing everything that is going on
"I know what your dream is, this can help you," He finished motioning to the wheel
I 'moved' over to the wheel and pulled a level next to it
After a bit, it stops and I read the system name
Job System
"Oh, wow not as lucky as I thought anyway, perhaps you will have some luck with the beginner's gift and I will alter the system a bit to help you. Now, what world do you want to go to, you can choose to either be transmigrated or reborn?" He asked and I began to think about
"Transmigration to the world of Fable 3 as the Hero Prince when he is 12," I say after thinking about it
"Alright, choose how you look like," He said and a screen appeared and showed me how I looked
I try to change how I look but I just can't think of how I would look so I look through some presets and input names of different people to choose how I look or will look
I am going to be a prince after all
I frown and shake my head a bit as I don't know what is going on with me
I should not be this calm
I shake my head again and finally, I am done
I will look like the prince combined with myself alongside Tom Welling from the Smallville show that I only watched its first 2 seasons and some episodes from season 3
"Done," I say and he nods and my eyes are forced shut and in a moment I can feel something on my back
"Did that...," I say while sitting up and memories hit me
I can see myself having lessons in etiquette and a bit of fighting by Walter and politics from a tutor Logan hired for me
I see myself playing in my room alone most of the time and sneaking into Logan's office
"Shaun Marek," I say my new name while I can feel tears forming in my eyes as I finally process everything that happened
I cry on my bed for a while letting everything out
I cry for my sisters
I cry for my parents
I cry for my...grandparents
They are still alive
But those monsters are running around
I wipe my tears and try to calm myself down as I try to remember exactly why I chose Fable 3
I am the prince now, and I am certain that I am a 'Hero' at least
"Shit, I hope," I say while moving to the edge of my bed
I close my eyes as I rub my legs
"I can feel with them," I say while stepping on the ground
It is so weird
I have memories of walking as Shaun but at the same time I was never able to walk before
I stand up for the first time and walk around my rather big room
#Ping
I look around for the source of that notice before I focus in my mind and see my new system

"Ok, so how does this one work," I whisper to myself enjoying walking around while trying to figure out this system
"I will figure it out later," I say after a few minutes
(I did see that I do have a beginner package may as well see what it has,) I say while mentally commanding the package to open
The screen changes to another where I 'see' a box opening and out come three items
I read something in the corner of the screen
"You are the only one who can use these," It says as I read it in my mind
I got three things out of it
A Random Race Token
A Multiversal Add-on token
A Low-Tier Random Item Token
I look at the tokens and as soon as I put a bit of pressure on them all three break
Soon I see that my system is going through an update that will last for 30 seconds
[ Hero Bloodline has been discovered appropriate skills have been granted according to said bloodline
Notice race has changed drastically both Hero Race and Kryptonian-Magi have been merged
New Race: Heroic Kryptonian-Magi]

"Uh, that's nice," I say while smiling a bit
I sigh with a smile as I look out the window
I frown and roll my eyes as I remember that it is snowing outside
I know that Kryptonians get stronger the more yellow sun energy they absorb
But, I don't think I am going to get much for the next month or so
Still, I know that I am supposed to be a lot smarter due to Kryptonians being aliens
I look at the skills that I got and I am surprised about the magic tolerance
Kryptonians are typically weak against magic
Kryptonian-Magi must have some resistance toward it
I shake my head as I go to my bed and lay down again as I have been pacing across my room for some time
I look at my system and see something that makes me gasp

[Multiversal Travel

Afterward, you can travel back and forth with no cooldown between worlds you have already been in
It is possible to save jump but only 100

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can travel the multiverse
Granted I would have to pick which one to go carefully
I sigh as I try to just go to sleep as I am still traumatized that I basically died
God must have made me stay calm
I rub my face as I try not to scream in anger at what happened to me
I hold it in as it wouldn't do for me to start screaming in the middle of the night and make the guards rush in to see me crying
I am a prince now literally
I sigh again as a flash of determination comes to me
My grandparents are still alive in that world
I have to save them
I will save them
God said that the wheel can help me by giving me a system
I have to figure out how it works
#TIMESKIP 3 MONTHS LATER#
"It finally stopped snowing," I say while looking at the clouds which seem to be dispersing finally
I haven't met Logan yet as he went on an expedition the morning after I arrived and he got himself some new guards
The Royal Guard
The same one as in the game
I am rather happy right now since I finally managed to finish my job
