[Please Enter Host Name and Receive Rewards]
A name? Shouldn't you already know my name? Well since it's a new life I gotta pick something that would stick. And what are these other stats? Where's my strength, agility, intelligence, or shit? Where's my HP bar? damn it. After some thought, I decided to pick a name.
'How about Judas...Judas Iscariot'
Yep. That strokes my eighth-grader syndrome right on the spot. And it's easy to remember.
[Congratulations host for picking a name. Names have powers for it is the origin of every being.]

'Black Emperor Tarot Card? Isn't that from Lord of the Mysteries by Cuttlefish Who Likes Diving?' Don't tell me...
To confirm my suspicion I checked Main Pathway potion. Just as I suspected. The potion contained choices for pathways such as [Fool] [Sun] [Demoness]... and whatnot 'Doesn't this mean I can become a beyonder?'. I for one won't be picking demoness.
Once I get to Orario and split up with these people, I will pick my pathway.
For now, let's check 'Gacha'. The floating blue screen changed to show me the gacha page. In it, I saw the following option. Beginner Gacha which is a one-time use only, Potion gacha, which gives you ingredients for potions, and finally Sealed Item Gacha, which includes sefirots, uniqueness, and sealed items. with the rarity going from common to legendary and god-tier. The problem is that all of this gacha need points to use and I don't have any.
'System, how do I gain points?'
[The host can gain points through feats, actions, and missions. The host could also exchange monster crystals for points with the ratio of 1000 monster crystals for 1 point exchange rate.]
What the hell, That's such a rip-off. Anyway, do I have a mission right now?
[Mission
Join a familia.
Reward- 200 points, unlock exclusive ability (Falna Manipulation)]
That's barely half a roll. Just how stingy are you? At least give me a full roll. I sighed annoyed about the fact that I had to endure gacha hell here too. Also, what's Falna Manipulation, The system answers.
[Falna Manipulation is an exclusive tool that came from your Origin that allows you to upgrade, hide, and falsify your or others' Falna]
Now what the hell is an origin? Is it related to my chosen name? or is it because I'm not from here? So many questions I need to answer. I sighed internally.
'System uses Draw ticket' might as well use them now.

I didn't even receive a legendary. Curse my luck is still as inconsistent as ever. For now, let's check everything starting from the perk and title.
[God's Betrayer
type: title
Gods become guarded against you. Gain 300% Damage against divine creature]
[God's Betrayer
type: perk
Your thoughts and intentions are hidden even against a god. Divine creatures can be enticed by your words alone. And your lies can easily be seen as the truth even by gods]
[The Apostate
type: perk
Your heretical thoughts protect you from the divine. Gain 70% damage reduction against divinity. Gods will most likely hate you.]
[Damned Faithful
type: perk
Your strong belief in God gives you power. 10% of your attacks deal holy damage.]
These are useful, but all of it is a double-edged knife. I should have picked a better name, all of it is just inviting danger. Damn, I'll just roll with it and try to survive in secret away from the plot if it comes to it! Now onto the items.
Throwing knives, sharp cards, a gun, smoke bombs, and bullets for the gun. All of these have more properties than the assassin potion that I will never even think of using. Let me see the special ones.
[Boots of Haste
Appearance: looks like an ordinary red boot
Ability: Channeling spirituality to it makes you move your feet faster.
drawbacks: makes your feet smell after using.]
[Cloak of Secrecy
Appearance: A regal black cloak with fur around the hood. It is made out of leather and an unknown animal fur.
Abilities: completely hides the person's appearance under dark shadows.
Drawbacks: Users become curious about secrets no matter how mundane they are.
Sealing: needs to be washed every night, When no longer using, adorn it with an item related to sleeping. Not doing sealing causes the item to disappear and would return with a different user who would attempt to kill you, if the assailant is defeated, Cloak of Secrecy will disappear again and find a different stronger user to kill you. This would continue until you're dead.]
[Mask of Average
Appearance: A ceramic face mask sculpted with an unknown person's face.
Abilities: Make both your outward and inward appearance look average. This includes your spirituality and soul.
Drawbacks: The user would spout random scientific knowledge when conversing
Sealing: Mask of Average likes to eat books, please feed it once every day, otherwise...your brain might get eaten]
[Drunken Bone Rapier
Appearance: Average looking despite everything being made out of some bones except for the metallic blade. The bones are from an angel of an unknown pathway.
Ability: It depends on the wine. The sword gets stronger when given the better wine. For example; giving it 100-year-old vintage wine causes the sword to deal fatal damage continuously, causes rotting, and deals lightning and curses. would sometimes cause users to see death perception and trigger electrocution.
drawbacks: cause the user to be highly aggressive when fighting.
Sealing: It likes to drink wine the most but any alcoholic beverage will do, give it four times a day. Not giving it alcoholic drinks will cause the Rapier to be unusable. You would also get psychosis and start hearing its complaining for example "I'm having withdrawal symptoms." "I need wine life is a pain." and much more constantly.]
[Shard of Longinus
Red fragments of Longinus, it is said if you collected all 70, it will transform into a god-slaying weapon.]
That's it, I'm dead for sure, If this world doesn't kill me, these cursed items will. I cry internally at my fate. 'How did it come to this?'
I resigned to my fate as I slumped on my seat. It has been a while since I started fiddling with the system, We have reached Orario's gate and it's almost our turn at the checkpoint. I looked at the now bickering aspiring adventurers who woke me up to this world. I coughed and stood from my seat gaining their attention.
"It has been a short journey friends, but this is where I must part ways, Thanks for saving me and leading me here, I offer you this small amount of valis I have." I handed them out 500 valis, they gave their thanks and as I was about to part ways I remembered.
"Also, if you are ever in need of help you can look for me, My name is... Judas... Judas Iscariot, farewell friends."
That's right, from now on I'm Judas Iscariot the sole Beyonder of this world.
