A flash of white, followed by the sound of screeching tires. A sudden flash of pain, and then darkness.
With a yelp, I shot up in bed, breath frantic and eyes darting all over my room. I relaxed only to tense up again upon noticing the light shining under my door and what looked to be a planet floating by my window. I stood up, and almost immediately my room faded away around me, coalescing into an office with the most beautiful blonde woman i'd ever had the pleasure to see sitting across from me.
"Who are you?" I voiced my question, head lightly tilted as i brushed away my strawberry brunette hair out of my face. "And where am I?"
The blonde bombshell smiled at me. "Well, my dear," and the sound of her voice sent shivers up my spine, for it was the kind that echoes and vibrates with power, "You aren't in Kansas anymore."
I just stared at her, slack-jawed, her voice full of power and her beauty forgotten in the wake of her sudden joke despite the fact that I'm probably dead, based on my 'dream' right before waking. My expression then shifted, into a brow-quirked light scowl. "If I'm not in Kansas, then where the hell am I?"
Probably not the best thing to say to R.O.B... Not my finest moment, I will admit. But luckily, she just chuckled at me, probably amused at what, to her, seems like a house kitten hissing and spitting at a tiger. "I have to admit, theres not many people that would say that to someone with my level of power, whether they know it or not." She snickered lightly as her eyes lightly narrowed. "Then again, theres even less who lived to tell the tale..."
I sweat for what feels like the next few minutes, before the powerful blonde, before she lets out a giggle. "Of course, I won't do that to you! But only because you amuse me."
I let out a breath of relief i didn't know i was holding, and look at her again. "But seriously. Please, where am I?"
She just gestures to a chair across from her that wasn't there just a moment ago, and i sit down. "Well, Jacqueline. As you've probably guessed, you died. Now, normally, just that wouldn't get you in my office, but it's who you died to save that got you here."
I just looked at her, head tilted in confusion. "You mean that little girl? Who was she?"
"She, was one of my great-granddaughters. Who unfourtunately wasn't able to gain any significant powers from her mother, who married a mortal who caught her fancy. So, thank you for that."
I just stare at her, in slight shock at just who my reckless heroism affected- a family of possible extradimensional entities.
"And so, my family and I have decided to transmigrate you, with some perks. Of course, there are limitations, as well as minor conditions. You won't start off overpowered, compared to some others that have been reincarnated through the multiverse, but you can build up to that level quite quickly."
I sat back in my chair, stunned slightly at this turn of events, before curiosity got the better of me. "So, what kind of perks are we talking about here?"
She just smiled at me, a slight gleam appearing in her eye. "Well, you'll be getting a system-"
"Nope, no way, nu-uh! I don't want to be one of those semi-emotionless machi- oof!" I looked up, teary eyes, as i held my head, to where my R.O.B. was now standing, hand held out like a blade and smoking slightly from where she just karate chopped my head, teitching smile on her otherwise blank face. "Can I finish what i was saying now?" I just nodded.
She walked back around and sat down in her chair, as i sat there like a chastised child. "Now, as i was saying, you'll be getting a system based off of a franchise of your choice, along with two additional franchise power sets that will adapt to an extent to the first choice. You will also be getting a starter pack of two items for each franchise. The system will include quests and missions, which will in turn grant you access to additional subsets of the franchises.
As an example, if you chose Power Rangers, you would start with a single ranger team. But, if you got a morpher, zord, or weapon from a different team, you could then have that subset unlocked for the shop.
The shop itself takes Mission Coins, or MC, which are gained from undertaking System Missions. Do note, if you end up traveling to different worlds, you will get some access to that worlds power set unlocked, but it won't add onto your Shop's inventory, unless you acquire an item, which would then be unlocked in the shop.
In addition, you will be able to customize your race and look while heading for your world destination, and can create a hybrid race or choose one available from either the francises you chose or your starting world.
Now, I'm sorry for the info-dump, but do you have any questions for me?"
I just stares at her for several seconds, trying to come to terms with that information overload, while she patiently waited. "What if the franchise i choose has a collection mechanic? Such as God of War, which makes you collect souls to upgrade your weapons? Or Dragon Quest and it's Mini-Medals?"
She just gives me a grin, like i'm on a good track. "They would be added i to the world, and able to be collected. Using your examples, Souls would obviously only be able to be collected from those that have them. Meanwhile Mini-Medals would be collectible based off of the game subsets you have unlocked. You could gain them through puzzles, battle, exploration, or as quest rewards. And don't worry about having to go to a certain person to spend these items, it would be a subpage of the shop."
I nodded at her explanation. "Alright, then my choice for franchises will be..."
