2 Chapter 2: I’ve a feeling I’m not in Kansas anymore

'One Piece.

A world of pirates and marines.

A world full of adventure and romance.

A world full of beautiful ladies, that I would love to make love to, after dancing the dance of flirting and seduction if…

THAT STUPID GODDESS DIDN'T GAVE ME A THE BODY OF A 4 YEARS OLD!

Seriously!'

Rick sighed at his current situation. He knew that it was not really the goddess' fault, she's working with what's available. Creating a new body would cost too much karma. Karma that Rick doesn't have anyway, so The goddess has to improvise by finding and " borrowing " a suitable body for him. Generally, from orphans or people that won't be missed by anyone.

' I can't really be mad at her, there is progress, at least this time it's not a baby. Anyway, I wonder if I'll have a syst…'

[System initialization 1%]

'Well that answer my question. Will it be the same as my previous life?'

[System Initialization 50%]

If it is, maybe points that I didn't use would still be there.

[System Initialization COMPLETE]

[Welcome back user #030609 Rick Wald, nice to see you again]

'So it IS the same system, great! Now my points, where are my points?'

[My apologies, user #030609 Rick Wald, all your Karma points from you previous life was transferred when you were into the white void]

'Figures… System, is there a beginner pack or something like that? And please call me Rick'

[User #030609 Rick Wald's request acknowledged.]

[UserRick, here is the free beginner package available for you]

The beginner pack was not a simple pack with things wisely put in it so anyone could start its adventure well equipped, no it could not be farther from the truth.

That package contained 2 types of things:

Points

List of objects.

The number of points is set to a certain amount. Neither high or low, it allows one to buy basic necessities, like clothes or food or currency.

The list of objects is not as easy to use.

The buyer has 3 free units, meaning of the list one can take for free 3 things.

Only there are 3 tiers of items. Low, Medium and High.

Objects in tier low cost 1, Medium 2 and high 3.

In other words, it's a very hard choice to make.

The buyer has to think about what's the best combination of items possible for what he wants to do.

Rick is scrolling the list of the high tier when he realizes something.

'System, there is no saiyan blood ? Kryptonian physiology? Neither chakra, nor cultivation? Is this a Joke?'

[Negative user Rick, those are not displayed in the beginner pack because they are not from this world.]

'I wanted to try being a kryptonian this time, well too bad, next time maybe'

[User Rick, those are not displayed in the beginner pack]

'I know, you just tol… wait, that means.. They are present in the shop'

[Affirmative]

'Please show me'

[Affirmative]

The system opened a new window with every object Rick wished to see.

'Holy Moly, that's more than expensive! It's more than everything I collected in my previous mission! How come Saiyan blood's price is so high, last time it was much cheaper and it was not from that world either'

[User Rick, the saiyan blood was a gift from the goddess hence why so cheap]

'Geez, even though every single one of those is god-like it's really too expensive… I guess, I'll have to think hard about what I'm going with, in each new world.

Anyway what to do, what to do ?

And while Rick was scrolling, swiping and zooming objects in the system store, some people walking by wondered what was wrong with that child with eyes focused on something that wasn't there and moving its arms like he was reading something.

After a few hours, a creepy smile appeared on Rick's lips.
