Chapter 3 - Choices!
AN: hey there if your expecting a copy paste of any original authors worlds like Naruto or Danmachi, it won't be that simple as while I will try to keep it as close as possible I have never read the manga and don't plan too so if there's something that are wrong I'm sorry!

"Arius, I'm telling you that there is no limits, just pick any location!" Bro Replied after pulling out a list for Arius to see.
[Marvel Universe: soul teir: 5]
[Danmachi: soul teir: 4]
[Better New Animal: soul teir: 3]
[Nasuverse: soul teir: 5]
[Naruto Universe: soul teir: 4]
[Detective Comics Universe(DC): soul teir: 5]
[Story's of regular Earth: soul teir: 2]
[Tower of g…
[wa…
…
The list went on for quit a while and before the list couldn't complete Arius already started to specify " can I here what you think about the Naruto universe bro?"
"Arius, I think we shouldn't go there, as there's constant wars and almost everyone there can harness a weird energy called chakra. Maybe we could go there in the future!"bro successfully Drove Arius from the from the Naruto universe.
"Then how about Danmachi! When I read about it, it seemed very peaceful, and even easy to survive in." Arius said after evaluating all his options. He had found that Danmachi was peaceful other then the dungeon – witch is completely optional due to the tower of Babylon locking it.
"Good decision, but let's not forget about our old friend the marvel universe it got plenty of~" Arius had become uninterested in what his brother was suggesting! He's never read or watched a single bit of!
"Don't try to convince me, I already know that I want to go to Danmachi." Arius firmly stated, leaving no room for arguments.
Bro gave out a sigh of defeat but picked up with "ok, but just be carful. I don't want you to die as soon as you get there!"
Mentally choosing to go to danmachi, Arius found the tori gate glowed a faint rainbow color and then opened a navy blue portal at its center, slowly expanding till it touched the edges of the inner part of the tori gates posts.
Trying to test the portal with his foot Arius kicked it only to vanish on the spot

A massive surge of source energy was to be never found seen or recorded happen in a small mountain, It all happens in a flash but there was now a healthy 14 year old in a woolen tunic and pants standing there.
[Host has been deposited in a suitable location, 2 years prior to plot]
[system has reconfigured, to suit needs and standards of the world]

After these words ring out in Arius's mind, he called out for bro "hey bro you there? Can you bring up my stays panel?"
"Ya Arius I can, but you can do it yourself you know! Whatever, here."

"Who made these skill descriptions? They make it sound like it's a joke!" Arius pouted upon seeing 'Or that just sounds cool,' as he was worried it wouldn't be that good.
Bro shyly chuckled "Don't worry about who makes the descriptions. Does it really matter?"
Bro was trying to gloss over the subject because he had given the system his input to make that ability's description! *maybe I shouldn't hijack the descriptions!*
"Fine, fine" anything else I need to know?"
"The system didn't mention it, but, you do have a pocket space, or inventory to be more precise! Time won't move inside, nor will affect the physical properties of what you stored. So for example, a hot lasagna will stay hot!"
"What's lasagna? Is it powerful?!"
"Uh… ya it's very powerful but it might not exist here…" bro then continued after putting Arius " the last thing to mention to you is source points shop. The points shop will let you exchange SP for anything none living plants. Also, SP stands for Source Points!"
"Can I get a milkshake?! Also how do I get points?" Arius was screaming at this point, out load. Arius hadn't noticed that he could just talk in his head and it would work.
"Ah sorry, I forgot to tell you. You can get Source points by absorbing anything of value, like monster parts or raw and refined ore! You get the idea right?"
"Ya, I think I got it. So what's in my pocket space now?"
"Just look in it you bafoon!"
Arius now feeling like a true ditz, peered into his inventory, finding a starter kit of sorts, and that was it! Nothing else, no legendary sword, no dragon egg. Not that the dragon egg would help in Danmachi!
The present popped into existence, right into Arius's regular hands. Arius having just now noticed that his skin wasn't pale anymore, and was now a healthy light tan! Having almost dropping the black with gold pattern box Arius cheered.
Getting over it a moment later, the suspense of the present returned, with greater heights! Slowly opening it, Arius was able to find a second set of clothes just like his current ones. Taking those out, under them was a bottle of powder, a small tent, and an estoc.
(AN: an estoc is a small sword. It's not quite s longsword but similar to a rapier in length.)
Arius immediately knew he wasn't a sword guy and at that moment sold his first item to the SP Shop gaining 100 points.
"Hey, Arius you should find a place to stay for now as I don't think where near a town."
"Good idea"
Mere moments after gaining his first pint Arius had now bought the second cheapest map of his surroundings! It was some bad scribbles with some kind of thick blue line from top left to middle-right bottom, and with the only marker being the tallest tree in the area. But luckily there was a small cave just right of the tall tree.
"Bro, I have found our new home! Now just to get there." Arius said while trying to read the map. After a few minutes of stumbling around, a wrong turn, and many corrections, Arius was closing in on the cave, when he heard a low growling gibberish. It was then a small green creature with ugly features ram out of the cave at full speed, running for its life! Chasing right behind it was a bear, it was defending its home!
"Hey bro, should we really go take the bears home? I mean, it's not like it's harming us right?"
With no reply from bro and a sudden jolt, Arius was sent flying. The bear after hearing another intruder went after Arius! Not understanding the bear at all, Arius was defenseless and weaponless!
"You should have never sold the weapon! Not look where you are." Bro was housing this moment to teach Arius. Which he thought was a smart play… if Arius didn't die.
Buying a 12-inch knife for the rest of his 75 SP, Arius didn't want to wait. Charging forward, Arius and the bear were on a collision course! But at the last moment, Arius had tripped over a spare root! The bear seeing this, slashed as fast as it could at Arius's back thighs. In a desperate attempt, turning at the last moment, Arius was injured in the front and was able to stab the bear in the eye socket and pierce the brain!
As the adrenaline faded, Arius unable to 'bear' the pain, fainted in the ground just outside the cave.
—•—
Hours later.
It was dark out now, but for Arius who had just woken up, it was panic time. Thoughts like what to do with the bear, and how will I treat my wound, would pop into his head.
"Arius, don't worry just sell the bear to the shop and buy some MREs instead. Then you should read what that bottle of powder does" bro was trying not to laugh at how much of a clutz Arius was being.
Arius did as was suggested and then walked to the cave to get ready to sleep wanting to handle everything in the morning.
