Toji Fushiguro: Living In DC

(Decided to give this a rewrite again. I had trouble writting it since the Ten Shadows just took away from the story rather than add to it. 

Late at night in his Colledge Dorm, Victor scrolled through the internet, reading his favorite Reddit posts or opening Webnovels he liked to read. Some were better than others, and some were not so much, but he did not care about the ratings. 

As long as he liked it, he would read it, and he did so across many genres. Eventually, he came across a questionnaire and decided to fill it out. 

'Could be fun?' 

"If you could be sent to another reality, if given the chance, would you do it?" 

Victor thought about it because his life was better than most people's. His parents were not wealthy, but they were undoubtedly well off. However, this reality was mundane, and the laws of reality were severe. 

If you were not one of the super-wealthy, you were replaceable so he obviously wanted out. 

"Yes, I would." 

Once Victor answered that, his phone turned off, which confused him. His parents bought it for him last month, so he did not know what could have gone wrong. A bright blue portal opened under his feet before he could see if it turned on. 

"What the f-" 

Without even completing his curse, he fell along with his gaming chair. He closed his eyes as he felt his chair land roughly. He didn't open his eyes for a few moments, but when he did open them, he was standing in front of a guy in a bright green suit. 

He wore a top hat and a fancy cane, which reminded him of the riddler. As if reading his mind, the man grinned even wider. 

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Riddler? I will accept the praise. Welcome, Young Victor of Earth. You must be wondering what the hell is going on, yes? Well, you are in luck. You are being chosen to be sent away to a new reality. Doesn't that sound great?" 

The man began to tap dance, but Victor paid attention to what he was saying. 

"The questionare was real?"

The man stopped his dancing before grinning, showing his completely emerald teeth. 

"Yes, it was mine, by the way. I am Eldir, the god of Gambling, and you are here to GAMBLE!" 

Victor recoiled. He was terrible at Gacha games. The number of times he had pulled for an SR and pulled a rare was uncountable. 

"I am terrible at gambling." 

Eldir laughed even more. 

"Not everyone is good at it, Victor, but I ain't forcing you. You can refuse and be sent back. You will lose your chance at transmigration FOREVER!" 

Victor got up from his chair before he walked forward. 

"I will gamble. How will we do this?" 

Eldir smiled as he tapped his cane on the ground. In front of Victor, three items appeared. The first was a massive wheel with a lever attached to it. The second was a deck of 64 cards, and the third was a tv. 

Eldir grinned as he saw that Victor was confused. 

"I will explain your gambles. The wheel is your first gamble. You can pull the lever once for free. If you want to spin it again, it will cost you something. This wheel will spin to countless possible powers, some can be quite powerful others insignificant. 

That is why it is up to your luck, the second is a deck of 64 cards of different items. Some as insignificant as a bottle of water to The Omnitrix or Excalibur. The third is where the fun is. It will determine where you will go. I will turn it on, and it will randomly choose a reality to send you. 

It could be The Walking Dead, Warhammer, Marvel, Ben Ten, or DnD. So, are you sure you will gamble? You could end up with the powers of Robin, with a stick in 40k where death is sure to come? Will you bet or go back?" 

He started his mad tap dancing, but Victor did not coward out. He popped his knuckles before he walked toward the wheel. 

"Let's do this." 

Eldir grinned as he watched Victor pull the lever. He saw the wheel spin at speeds so fast that he thought that even Light could not match. That might have been his human mind not comprehending what he saw. 

It spun for a minute before it stopped instantly. Victor and Elder looked closely to see what had been picked, and it seemed he had won out. 

"Toji Fushiguro Heavenly Restriction? Damn, you lucked out. You get to be beyond Super Human at the cost of no Curse Energy. You could be a god if you end up in a lower-level world. Or end up in a higher-level world and become a more significant bug."

Victor sighed, knowing that at least this was useful and he wouldn't be powerless. He was also used to no Curse Energy, so he would give up something he never had for something he also never had.

Now he had the option for a second gamble, but he didn't take it. It was better to be quiet while he was ahead so he walked over to the cards. When he reached them, Eldir waved his cane causing them to shuffle rapidly before they floated upward. 

"As I said, there are 64 options, but they are cycling through endless possibilities every 10 seconds. A good item could leave you and be replaced by a rock or worse. Will you wait and let them pass, or will you pick randomly? When they switch, they will shine, so be ready now, if you want to pick two items you have to offer something up." 

Victor thought about so he asked before he took that chance. 

"What do I have to give up?" 

Eldir grinned. 

"Something major, lifespan, emotions, some of your luck, or your memories." 

Victor sucked in a breath as he thought of that. Some of them were worse than others, but he knew something he could give up. 

"What if I give up all my memories of my parents, siblings, and extended family." 

Eldir raised his head as he pondered on this. He raised his cane balancing it diagonally across his finger. The cane then tilted to the right like a scale making Eldir shake his head. 

"Close, you need something a bit more." 

Victor nodded. 

"I will throw in the memories of my girlfriend, and all my friends. I will give up all those memories of everything important to me." 

As soon as he said that the cane tilted into balance meaning he had reached the desired price. Eldir nodded. 

"You gain a second choice. Let the gamble start." 

The cards began to glow as they began their countdown. He could pick two so he waited for the cards to make their first switch. When 10 seconds passed and they all shone, he looked them over before he made his first choice. 

He grabbed the very last card before turning it over. When he looked at the item, his face split into a grin. It was an image of a black dog with red eyes and a sword in his mouth, which he recognized. 

"YES! Canis Lykaon." 

Eldir stopped smiling as it meant that Victor had won big. 

"Damn it, I wanted you to end up with something small. You got lucky, and your gamble won out. That was your free option, now it's time for your second. You have one more, the one you sacrificed for. Will this gamble pay out too?"

Victor glanced at the cards which finished their second pass when another ten seconds passed. He didn't reach out immediately as this one would cost him the memories of everyone he held dear. 

With that, he made up his mind and he reached out and he picked the first card after a few cycles. When he turned the card around, his lips spread out into a grin that could match Eldir's. 

On the card was a silver cross burning in light purple fire. 

"Incinerate Anthem, two Longinus off the bat? Thank you everyone, and goodbye." 

He closed his eyes as he knew these memories of everyone he cared about were about to leave him. Eldir on the other hand had his mouth wide open. 

"Not fair, that is not fair." 

Victor ignored him though. When the gambling god stopped complaining he sighed. 

"You lucky, lucky boy. Your luck this time was extrodinary. You might have used all your luck for this though, let's see where you end up." 

Now Victor had a question. 

"Wait, how will this work with the Heavenly Restriction?" 

Eldir rolled his eyes as he was already annoyed. 

"Your restriction gives up 'Cursed Energy.' Mana is not Cursed Energy. These are two very different energies, so you can keep the Restriction that gives you that super body while having the powers the dog and cross give you. It's so unfair.

The last time someone bet, he got the powers of Fuhrer Ugly, and the item he got was a standard condom. Then he got mad, offered up his positive emotions for a second try. He still failed and just got a wand from Harry Potter. Useless with no magic of course." 

Victor recoiled at the knowledge that he heard. 

"Where did he go?"

Eldir sighed. 

"The Walking Dead. Last I checked, he used that condom out of spite and killed all the zombies while taking over the world." 

Victor shivered at the knowledge he got. He felt terrible for whoever that guy used it on. Eldir snickered. 

"He was into men." 

Victor sent a prayer to Rick and the men of The Walking Dead. Regardless, Eldir walked over to the TV before pointing his cane at it. 

"You ready, Victor? Once I turn it on, the TV will cycle through millions of realities before landing on one. It could be DxD, Marvel, DC, or the same world the previous guy was sent to. Where will you end up? 40k, Dune, Star Wars, or another Earth. Let us find out." 

With a tap, the TV began to cycle through millions on billions of realities, which Victor watched with bated breath. After a minute, the channels stopped cycling, and he looked at the title. 

"DC, not bad. At least your not powerless." 

Victor sighed with relief, as that could have been very bad. If it had been 40k, he could have been killed at birth or worse. As for Eldir, he stopped smiling. 

With a tap of his cane, the two card in his hand floated before entering his head. When that happened, all the memories of his family, friends and girlfriend were sucked out of his brain never to be remembered.

The wheel sent a stream of energy into his chest, and before he could think further, Victor was pulled into the TV. His thoughts went completely dark for an uncertain amount of time. 

---

The first thing that Victor felt was the feeling of a small wet tongue on his face. Small teeth grabbed his hair and pulled as if trying to wake him up. 

"BARK! BARK! BARK!"

He could feel a set of thoughts, not his own, as Lykaon tried to communicate with him. He was starting to wake up from whatever Eldir did to him. Before he could finish waking up, he heard another sound. 

"Oh my God, SIR!"

Someone ran over and began to try to wake him up. Victor began to open his eyes, looking up at a bright sun. He squinted his eyes because his senses were much stronger than before. He covered his eyes because of the glare; even the smells, sounds, and other feelings were annoying. 

Lykaon jumped off him with the tiny puppy panting happily. 

"I think so." 

Victor felt a hand grab him before helping him to his feet. When he pulled his hand away from his eyes, he looked at the woman who had helped him. She was a woman with bright green eyes and long brown hair. 

She seemed concerned since he had been passed out in front of her house. He didn't focus on her but first looked down at Lykaon. The small dog had black fur, red eyes, and a red spot on his forehead. 

He seemed happy that Victor was up and awake. From what he could tell, Victor looked at his surroundings, seeing that he was in the middle of a city one he didn't recognize. 

His senses were wild, and he reached up and touched his head. He had a massive amount of memories missing which he knew he offered up and what he offered up, but not of who. 

He would come to terms with that, but not right now. He looked back to the woman with a question. 

"Where am I?"

The woman let go of his hand as she backed away from him. 

"Central City? You were on the ground in front of my house. I was about to call an ambulance. The puppy seemed to be trying to wake you, so I assumed he was yours." 

Victor shook his head as he bent down to pick up Canis Lykaon. He could sense a connection to the dog, which was a Seperate Avarar Sacred Gear. As for Incenerate Anthem, it was of the same type, but it seemed changed. 

Incenerate Anthem was the cross that Jesus was crusified on and later turned into a Sacred Gear. He could feel it, inside his soul bound to him just like Lyakon. 

'You hear me, buddy?'

He got a positive response, meaning Lykaon was bound to his soul just as intended. He had two Longinus now, and those would give him power over time. 

'Good.'

Victor turned to the woman with a smile. 

"He is mine, I appear to have passed out from drinking all night. My friends seemed to have left me it seems." 

He chuckled, but she didn't seem to find it funny. 

"You should get new frineds and I don't mean to pry, but your eyes are black. And I don't mean your pupils; your scelera are black." 

'Eldir.' 

Victor stepped back as he touched his eyes. 

"Like them? I got them tatood a while back. The recovery was rough, but I think they turned out alright. I am Victor, and you are?" 

"Iris, Iris West, I heard of eye tatoos before. They do look intresting I will give you that. How do they do them?" 

Victor pointed at his eyes. 

"A dude sticks a needle in your eyes and injects the ink. Painful as hell, but cool once healed. Take care and thanks for waking me." 

Iris nodded. 

"Of course, glad your ok." 

With that he reached down and picked up Lyakon and he started walking away. Iris then turned around and returned to her house. As he walked he looked down at himself and saw what he was wearing. 

It was Toji's usual outfit and he could admit that it was pretty cool. Now that he was awake and aware, Lyakon seemed quite happy. People would gaze at him from time to time. More, in particular, women because he was shredded now. 

More than he was before, so that was a gain. This new body was already paying off.
