A Lottery?!(1)

Within a heavily lit room lay a bot with black hair, a blue plain shirt, black trousers and blue and white trainers, within this room was a lever which had a tv like screen that showed multiple icons moving about at a rapid speed, the boy lying down in this room was Damian asleep after being 'clicked' from his home into somewhere completely different.

Soon enough though he woke up but still had a bit of a headache, he got up into a sitting position on the concrete like floor and said, "Where...the hell am I?!", he looked around him blinded by the amount of light in the room but eventually he got used to the amount of light in the room but it still irritated him to look at, "Isn't there a switch to turn this off!", he said out loud but alas there wasn't as he got up and went around the room to find no windows, no doors, no way to get out, 'I don't see any way for oxygen to get into this room, how am I breathing?', he thought, as he breathed in to get that feeling whenever he would inhale, 'Weird...but what's even weirder is how I got here...', Damian thought back to where he just was, in his home with his friends and family and about to eat some cake, "Shit! Shit! Shit! No! This can't be happening! Why me?! Why today?!", Damian started to panic as he realised his predicament, "There's no way outta here!!", he shouted out loud.

This carried on for a few minutes till he remembered what his father use to say about unclear situations like this except something like what his dad was referring to didn't really apply to this fucked up scenario he was currently in, Damian looked at the weird machine with the lever in the middle in the room and went up to it, as he got close he saw a bunch of words appear above the machine, like was some old arcade game and it said, "Spin To Win And Gain An Ability!", this was a moving message that repeated itself as it went on and off the screen, Damian saw an icon showing four golden like coins, 'The hell?! Is this some kind of fucked-up casino game?! What's with the tokens?!', he had a lot of questions buzzing around in his head, unanswered questions.

Eventually, though he didn't care what happened, he was already in what seemed like an unescapable room and waiting like some type of help would appear would be stupid because if that was the truth of the matter then all the other people that were taken would've already been home by now and not missing for the last few months.

Damian gripped the lever and felt the hard metal-like material that it was made out of, he pulled it with some strength and watched it move along with the force he was putting into it, once it was pulled to the other end, towards Damian, the screen with the moving icons sped up even quicker but after a few seconds began to slow down onto a dark wave icon was in the middle of the screen and enlarged, the screen's words then changed to, "Click screen to accept prize!", Damian didn't hesitate and clicked the enlarged icon and saw the icon turn green and then do something Damian had never thought he would have seen before his very eyes.

As Damian moved his hand away from the screen the icon turned black and came out of the screen like some living slime type creature, it crept up Damian's hand, to his arm, then his shoulder, as this was happening Damian was freaking out he tried to get the black thing off him but he couldn't touch it, like it was in an ethereal like state making it untouchable for him, the black object eventually got near his heart and went into him, this freaked Damian out even more and he pulled his shirt off to see nothing there, he touched his skin to find nothing wrong.

But as he was doing this he then felt it, a change on the inside of him, the black object had wrapped around his heart and went into it and then spread throughout his body, Damian could see it move through his body through his veins and freaked out by bashing his arm or whatever body part he could against where he could see the blackness, something he would later laugh to.

Damian saw that all his visible veins had become black and then he felt another change in him, a painful one and he quickly screamed out in pain, "AAAAHHH!!!", it felt like his whole body was burning from the inside out, this continued on for a few more minutes and throughout this he felt immense pain but the worst of it was that it wasn't enough to make him fall unconscious which he wished he was, on the contrary, it kept him wide awake.

Once the pain was gone so was the blackness and he looked like he was back to normal except for where he hurt himself where it was a redder colour, he was currently on the floor breathing heavily out of exhaustion, he voice is sore by how much he had screamed, "Agh!", he slowly got up and put on his shirt and when he checked that everything was okay, he looked at himself or more accurately what was around him, a white cloak of energy was moving around him, he tried to shake it off but to no avail, he stood still and saw that it covered his body from head to toe, he felt different, stronger.

And soon enough another oddity happened a voice, not just any voice but a voice in his head, [Ding! User acquired ability 'Shadow Magic'], this voice was neither feminine or masculine, it could only be described as strange, Damian looked around him to see no one, "Who's there?! Show yourself!", he shouted out but heard no reply, "Don't mess with me! Show yourself!", again no reply, "Goddammit! Are you the one who put me here!", he screamed but again no reply.

He then looked at the machine that just caused him pain and went up to it in anger, "This is all your fault!", he shouted at it, as if it was alive and then started to kick at it but it all it did for him was allowed his anger to be released but it also made the screen malfunction, unknown to him as he did something that should've never happened, eventually he stopped and sat down against one of the walls, scrunched up with his legs against his head and his arms around them and him looking at the machine every now and again, he was thinking about how he wasn't going to see his friends and family again and what lead up to this point in time for him.

He thought about what just happened to him and thought about a time when he was younger and when he used to read some novels that were recommended by his friends, 'What am I thinking about...It can't be like that...', but then he remembered the number of times he came across one of those stories where they had a voice in there head that lead to one thing...

A system. Damian thought that the very idea was stupid but then again he has just been whisked away from his home in what could only be described as the work of magic! And what did the weird voice in his head say to him? That he had just gotten 'Shadow Magic'!

Damian decided to pull the cliche that all main characters pulled in a scenario like this, "S-Status!", he waited for a few seconds to see nothing but then a window like board appeared in front of him out of nowhere which made him jump, "Ah!", "Damian fell back onto the wall and saw that the weird board that looked like a square tinted black window follow him, he looked at it and saw that it was empty, he hesitated for a moment before he touched it and felt it against his skin, 'It feels just like a phone screen...', as he touched it he saw a change.

A white circle appeared and covered the screen before disappearing and showing a bunch of new words on the board, [Greetings, member of the human race, you have been chosen as a saviour of your side, you have been brought here to choose your abilities through the lottery machine and with them protect your solar system against the twelve others but fear not you have races on your side, your four racial allies within your system are the 'High Elves', 'Nano-Sapiens', 'Ogres'(A/N: Think of the ones from that slime reincarnation anime) and the 'Spirits-Arcanium', you have been transported within the planet Amenixia along with the other members of the human race as well as the other races, we hope you succeed in your new endeavour to protect your home and people.], the message ended there, Damian tried scrolling down to see if there was anything else but there was nothing.

He clicked on the screen and saw what looked like information about him-
