40 Reborn as Booth in Bones

Okay, this is the first idea that's taking place in a mostly realistic world, so try to be understanding when it isn't as extreme as my other chapters. At most I would do something like give the MC a system or the experiences of someone like Batman. I wouldn't be so bold as to give the protagonist the power to obliterate everything, just make him far stronger than the average human.

I can't allow powers beyond human comprehension into the world of Bones, so even if there were a system for the main character it would have to be severely limited in what it could do. I would also make it something like a gatcha or maybe a slot machine, which would feed into the whole gambling problem (I should mention that if you use the slot machine idea, there should be consolation prizes, so there are no real losses). It would be a much better solution than just a straight up shop, as it will make each new ability or item gained have more meaning. You can set up future events where a certain reward will be needed. I would include an inventory, but it should be limited to the prizes he'll receive. It would also be cool to see titles that actually affect his abilities, but that might be too much of a stretch.

Since the show is done, and there is plenty of content to write from, this idea should be pretty easy and accessible for just about any writer. Of course, there has to be some form of goal or endgame the MC is working towards. I suppose you could make it Brennan, or a better ending for the series. You could also fix some of the more odd parts in the original writing of the show, like how Brennan suddenly desires a child out of nowhere. My knowledge of the plot has worn away with time, and I'm not willing to binge the entire series just to brush up on its nuances.
