Death

In a messy apartment in New York, you can see a teen with black hair and eyes sitting in front of a computer. He was average, average height, looks, everything was average. His name was Quinn, no last name. Quinn grew up in New York with his parents who passed away when he was 15.

While his parents were alive his life was quite nice. A loving mother and a hardworking father. But they died in a car crash leaving him alone in the cold world. Quinn's family was not well connected, they stick to themselves most of the time. And Quinn's only relation to them was from his parents, so after they died everyone else just left him alone.

The more fortunate ones sent him money so he's not on the streets and that was the nicest thing they ever did. Quinn didn't use the money, he worked 3 jobs and went to school. After high school, he was able to get into college but dropped out because on a few reasons.

Quinn was quite good in school so his dropping out surprised the school but what could they do. One reason he dropped out was to pursue his dream of being an animator. After many disappointing rejections, he applied again and got a job as an editor. Although not what he wanted, at least it was something he liked to do.

The pay was okay, just enough to live off of while still having some money left over in case of emergencies. At this moment, Quinn was finishing up with work, he muttered, "I need to go to the store." after getting changed into casual clothes he left for the store down the street. It was just a small grocery, he liked going there because the walk to the place was nice.

After about 10 minutes of walking, he arrived. He got a basket and went further into the store. He got average things, bread, jam, drinks, and a few other things. He decided to get a few drinks, he didn't drink alcohol much. Only when he was really down in the dumps. He was looking at the drinks when he felt a sharp pain in his side. Looked to the side a saw a man in all black and stabbed him and twisted the knife and he fell to the ground. The man took all his money which wasn't much anyway and left.

While bleeding out of the floor, he said, "Damn, just my luck. Dying on an empty stomach, I should have eaten, no I'm not a glutton."

'Huh, is this a joke or are you making fun. But I really did think I would get to live longer, maybe be a sage since I'm a virgin, no, a great sage even.'

<Request Confirmed. Acquiring [Great Sage]>

'Huh, isn't this like that one anime? Okay, I'm going to die anyway so I'll play along. Give me Degenerate.'

<Request Confirmed. Acquiring [Degenerate]>

'You really want to make me die feeling stupid, huh. Then make me a race that can mimic others, a cool one, wait. I forgot to watch Steven Universe, fuck! That was a good show.'

<Request Confirmed. Searching for suitable race. Race not found. Searching for solution. Solution found, creating race [Universal Primordial] to meet user's request>

'What the fuck is that, whatever. Just let me die.' He closed his eyes and tried to die peacefully.

If you've read my other novel Lilith's Rise this one is like a rewrite to that but a bit different.
