1 Chapter 1

The first thing she always does upon waking up is to nuzzle the cushion. However, as she turns around for a better position to do exactly that, she doesn't feel the soft cushion of hers—well, it would be better to say that she doesn't feel it or the bed. Actually, she doesn't feel anything.

That thought wakes her up.

She immediately realizes she's in a place devoid of light and shit but she doesn't like dark places. She's no scaredy-cat but she can admit the darker the place, the least likely it is to find her there without at least some light. Wait, there is some light. And it is near her.

She tries looking around to see if she can find its source. It doesn't take her long to realize that she's the light source. For some reason, she's glowing.

This would be a perfect moment to freak out, however, before she can do this, a blue panel appears in front of her.

"Welcome to the template system." The panel disappears as soon as she finishes reading the last letter, but other appears in front of her face. "You've got one minute to decide which world will you go in and in which character will be your new body. There are only three tries you've got to change both. You can save them for later, too."

"What the—"

Another panel appears, this one contains two wheels where on the top of them there are the words 'World' and 'Character' with the word 'Spin' in the center.

There's also a big digital clock that is counting down the minute.

She doesn't know what's going on but she feels it safe to press the button. Quickly. And it's good she did because it takes 15 seconds for both to stop.

The first words that appear are 'worm' and 'Uranai Baba'.

She knows what Worm is because, even if she hasn't read the novel, she knows about it thanks to fanfics. Safe to say, she's not happy. It takes her five seconds to remember that Uranai Baba is the old witch in Dragon Ball.

Before she can fall into despair, a small panel appears between the two wheels, saying:

"Do you accept your choices, or would you like another try? (x2)"

She gives a glance at the clock, which now says she has 32 seconds left. She selects for another try and spins the wheel.

Fifteen more seconds pass and if she could sweat in this state, she would have done it already. Finally, both wheels stop and what appears are the words: 'Naruto' and 'Souma Yukihira'.

"Do you accept your choices, or would you like another try? (x1)"

Well, she doesn't remember who this Souma is, but she knows enough about Naruto. She has got sixteen seconds left. Enough for one more try, but… will she be lucky enough, that's the question.

Oh, what the hell, Souma sounds like a cute name.

Without trying to think twice, she accepts the choice and another panel appears with the words: "Now you can select a Template. You've got two tries."

Two tries… wait isn't that because of the previous leftover from the world-character thing?

'Do I get new templates as soon as I reach complete synchronization with the previous one?' she asks mentally after realizing she isn't able to talk aloud.

'No.'

'So, I only got those two tries?'

'Yes'

'Is there a way to get more than one template?'

'Host needs to gain a flaw to obtain more templates. For each flaw gained, the host obtains one more template. Also, for each flaw, the host can up the tier of the character.'

That doesn't sound too bad? Though...

'Can you explain more about the tiers?'

'10 – normal human, 9 – Superhuman, 8 – Urban, 7 – Nuclear, 6 – Tectonic, 5 –Planetary.'

'… What happened to the 4 to 1 number?'

'Host doesn't have enough clearance for it.'

'What kind of tier would I get if I don't get the flaw?'

'9 has the highest probability, while 8 has the lowest.'

So superhuman would be the easiest to get and considering everyone in Naruto has chakra, even civilians must be considered superhumans. Shit. She will have to get a flaw if she wants to survive until Boruto.

No, it's not time to think like that. Better try once and if she gets a shitty one, she can always use the flaw option.

'Spin'

The wheel appears once again. This time just one, full with numbers 9, while a tenth of it is the number 8. There are letters ranging from A to C next to the numbers.

She waits for fifteen agonizing seconds before it stops on the number 8C, which quickly changes to 'Katara – Water bender', and her trembling light can finally relax.

Ok, not bad… though not enough for the world she's going to go.

'I want a flaw,' she says quickly in her mind, trying to not think much about it.

'User has gained the flaw: Blindness. As she won an eight-tier level template, the next spin will up a tier.'

'… Wait, what?'

'The system reminds the host that there are only twenty seconds to spin before the choice is removed.'

Shit.

'Spin,' she says vaguely noting that instead of nine and eights, there are more seven and a couple of six. She hopes her luck remains true as she will be blind, apparently.

Ugh. And she hates the dark.

Before she realizes it, the wheel stopped. The number 6B lifts the weight on her shoulders. When the name 'Dracule Mihawk' appears instead of the number she can breathe a sigh of relief. Though the feeling doesn't last long. One moment she finds herself feeling like a thing being flushed out.

The next moment, she is on what she's sure is a bed.

So I'm torn between choosing to focus on this fic or 'MCU: Two templates and a shitty flaw' as I have almost the same quantity written and ready to post.

I chose a random anime generator to select the templates and I liked both options. I chose to do one option in the Naruto world and another in the MCU world.

I'll continue writing both but if one is more liked, I'll try to focus on it more.

Let me know your choice ;D!

(Also, what pairing do you wish to see)
