[1] What The Hell Is Happening?
If you're reading this, then hello, my name is Ryan Moore and I am the handsome, overpowered main character of course.
Well, at least I thought like that for a time.
To give you some back story, I'll just jump straight into the story, will I?
I used to be a 28-year-old, shut-in, a bum of society. You know a typical 'neek' of a dude that normally ends up getting deleted by a truck and reincarnated into a smile one day. That sort of person.
The person that hasn't seen the light of day for a few years and is training to become a vampire in his bedroom only feasting on pizza deliveries and takeaway with some money they got from nowhere, that type of dude...
Truthfully, my story wasn't much different, I didn't start off that way and my intention wasn't to end up like that... I swear...
Picture me pouting right now...
Oh, that's right, I haven't told you all about what I look like...
Cough* Cough*
Ok, here goes, imagine hmmm, Chris Hemsworth, yeah that will do just right. Now, get rid of the beard, well stubble, lessen the intensity of the visible jawline and give me some chin fat. As for my hair, just leave it be, it looks better that way anyway...
I mean, that's what my hair looked like, yeah.
Also, get rid of the muscles and add a few pounds. Just a few though don't do me dirty, ok!
Hmm, yes, my eyes are actually blue, so I'm being honest there. You can't complain now, right?
Now that's out of the way, back to the main story, god who even interrupted me?
Shut-In.
I ended up turning into the dude I was talking about earlier after a mountain of pressure and problems got to me and since I'm a coward and didn't really care for myself all too well, I didn't bother to change right up until the moment of my death.
Can you guess how I died?
I was saving a pitiful girl and jumped in front of a train...
Cough* Cough*
No, I erm, may or may not have choked to death on Chinese noodles.
Listen ok, they are deadly, there's so much grease and sauce of whatever that noodle sauce is. That was when I was scoffing my face full watching my youtube recommended videos, because as a normal person if you don't watch youtube or any form of show while eating you're just weird,
Back to the noodle thing, yeah I choked to death and then when I was thinking my life is over and everything.
BOOM!
Fantasy world, I'm now a neglected prince with an overpowered system and a hot babe of a fiance that everyone is for some reason dumb and treats badly...
Cough* Cough*
F*ck! Is this noodle coming back up or something?
Alright, I'll stop lying, yeah I died and there was no fantasy world...
But in truth, things were actually even better than that, I somehow regressed into my younger self.
To be more specific, my 7-year-old self.
Initially, I was all like, WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING, CURSE ALL NOODLES but then I calmed down and started to process things.
My bedroom was that of my old family house, the one that I used to love so much even though truthfully, it was a sh*thole...
Sorry, mother.
My floor didn't even have any carpet or wooden flooring down, it was just underlay from when we just moved in. My bed was a bunk bed that was being used as a detached single bed since the builder stopped his job halfway through, finding the complexity of the task too difficult.
In the corner was a table covered in paint holding a 42 inch Panasonic tv, passed down through the family.
I added the passed down through the family part, I don't actually know where this bad boy came from but yeah it sounded cooler...
Then next to the table was probably one of the most expensive and luxurious items in the entire household.
An Xbox 360, Halo addition.
Fully functional, without a red ring of death.
I repeat without a red ring of death!
So yeah, seeing such a scene, how could my grown-ass not cry right. That's a manly thing to do, who cares, you're the one crying, not me.
Collecting myself, I collected some high-level intel about what was happening right.
No this wasn't a dream, ouch that pinch just hurt...
Running around the house, this isn't some sort of alternative dimension, my sibling's stuff is all here.
At that point, my thoughts had settled enough to accept the fact that I had died and come back in time.
I know in the web novels that I used to read, the main character takes a while to adjust to the cruelty of life blah blah blah blah...
For me, I mean, it wasn't hard, I literally had nothing valuable or keeping me connected to my previous life. In fact, this was good, I had a chance to do things differently this time.
And reaching such a thought...
My thoughts started wandering...
Where's my legendary isekai golden finger, the system to change my life and fuel my rise to the top of the world.
Then, as if I'm actually the main character in such a novel.
BOOM!
[Hello, Host!]
That's what popped up in front of me, a blue drop down like a futuristic VR game.
A status menu, picture a status menu...
It carried on waffling.
[Welcome to the Legendary Talent System, you have been selected as a host because of your lack of talent!]
It said something different at the time but I pretty much interpreted it as that.
Anyways, it wasn't all too bad. It's a system, so it could literally spit on me right now and I'll still smile. Thankfully I didn't I might have sh*t myself and had a heart attack at being corrupted by a demon spirit or some other voodoo bullsh*t.
[Host, please choose your desired talent, remember Host, once you've chosen you can't change your talent. The system won't allow that!]
[Talent choices: Business, Entertainment, Food, Football, Acting, Music and singing, the list went on and on, you get the point right!]
At this point, I'm debating whether or not to get some honey and rub it on my nipples or something, I'm that excited...
Relax it was a joke...
I wouldn't actually do something like that...
(Looks away, winky face)
Back to the story...
Then because life never seems to go any way you actually want it to go, this crappy ass system started spouting nonsense.
[Since the Host lacks enough life energy to maintain the system, the system will choose a talent before temporary shut down!]
[Choosing...]
[Choosing...]
[Chosen!]
[Talent selected Boxing!]
