<1st POV>
I'm Adrienne Winters a simple student from Kouh academy, I'm currently 15 years old. No girlfriend, even though I'm handsome, I'm not being narcissistic here, my appearance is of a slender young man with pale skin, with shaggy white hair, my eyes color are silver with white slit pupils. As well as crack/vein markings that appears under my right eye.
I have a shocking secret, I haven't told to anybody yet, I'm from this world hence, I know that there are strong beings hiding from human eyes by disguising themselves into one.
I strive to get stronger, good thing I have a trump card in my sleeve. It's not too powerful like some isekai fics I read in my previous life. Like gamer system, leveling system, etc., those system were considered as rule breakers.
Let's change the topic, as for how I was reincarnated in this world the High School DxD world. This how it happens, I didn't hit n run by a truck okay.
<Flashback >
Adrienne just arrived in his house, tired from doing multiple school task. The school were so many due to Pandemic, schools changed the schedule and every subject has a cycle and it only have 6 weeks every cycle so the school work was compressed to fill the six weeks. He's begins to do every school task he have, until 10 pm, looking at unfinish task and the deadline.
Adrienne couldn't have a difficulty on this kind of hectic schedule, plus his body is too weak to do schoolwork overnight. But this night he push his body to the limit and stay whole night.
"I don't want to fail, fucking world too cruel!" He said while trying to stay awake. Few hours passed, he's still awake blood flowing out from his nose, his skin is now pale like a sheet bond paper.
He collapse on his bed, he's not breathing another. And no one noticed it, until the next day.
...
Adrienne woke up in strange dark place, he felt something is off. He noticed that he's not on his bed, he think of every possible scenario he can think of.
"No kidnapping me for no reason is nonsense as I don't have any money and my family isn't rich too" He murmur under his breath.
"Mental Asylum? Nah, I'm not thst insane tp be placed here or msybe I become craze berserker after too much work and went rampage"
"The impossible thing is, I'm dead and I'm a domain of a ROB. Now I'm having a delusion again, I'm now starting to believe that I'm in a mental asylum"
His body tensed up, when he heard a voice "Boy, your third speculation were correct you're dead, from fatigue which cause your cancer to grew rapidly"
He turned around just the skeleton head floating, it scared him to death oh yeah he's dead. Adrienne calmed down as he stare at the floating skull.
The skull quite surprise by his calmness and asked him "Aren't you afraid, of death?"
Adrienne laughed "Afraid? No, it's more like of a dream come true. I can finally reat in this dark place, no school work or something related to it"
The skull asked again "Then, your family isn't important?"
Adrienne shooked his head and calmly said "They're important and it's sad thing to think, but it is what it is..."
Skull was shock by his acceptance towards his death, hovers around thinking deeply just to yeet the soul away from it's domain and erasing the soul is illegal thing to do and if the Skull would erase a soul Death of Death will judge and erase its existence too.
The skull probe his mind without him noticing anything suspicious, while reading Adrienne's mind the skull see an opportunity to yeet the soul away. The see this as an opportunity to see an entertaining things, the skull hit two birds with one stone.
The skull finally spoke "Little guy, I have a good offer to you and surely you'll like it"
Adrienne raised his eye brows "Oh? And what is this offer?"
"Fufu~ The offer is that you'll be reincarnated to an anime of course to my liking" The skull said
"Reincarnation like those fics I read while trying to relieve my stress?" Adrienne questioned the skull, he's doubting the integrity of the offer.
"Yes, that's the one and they're accompanied by a system. Until they become overpowered characters but that stories you read has flaw those kind of systems are too broken not entertaining at all" The skull said
"So you'll give me a system?" Adrienne asked her. She responded with assuring tone "Of course, what's the point of a transmigrated person that doesn't have a so called golden finger"
"True, but do I need to go back being a baby?" Adrienne asked the skull.
Skull understood what he meant "It's optional but there is an age limit"
"Age limit? Was that a part of the law?" He asked
The skull nodded "Obviously it is, because it's necessary process in registrating your existence in that world"
Adrienne nods his head "So it's like migrating to another processing your documents. Alright, I understand so, what is the age limit?"
The skull flatly responded "12"
Adrienne thought of Pros and cons "Alright, I agree but do I get a wish or not?
" You can but only one, and the system that you want is another matter so state your wish" The Skull said.
Adrienne stated his wish "Okay, got it I wish to have an Innate Skill Ergokinesis and it's opposite Absens-Ergokinesis"
The skull expression turned into a frown "Are you underestimating me why, you wish just an energy and absence energy and not a proper offense ability there over a million inside your brain"
Adrienne calmly replied "I like it"
The Skull aren't satisfied by his answer, his wish, was too so insignificant for the Skull it give him the ability for free.
The skull said "I will count it as a half wish, but you have to state a wish for a good one this time or I will reincarnate you as in your world as an orphan "
"Chill, I'm sure this is a good one, I wish for every knowledge and experience every people that use this this two abilities." Adrienne said, the seems satisfied by it.
"Knowledge and experience is plausible wish granted" Upon saying that Adrienne felt his head going to crack, as the memories and experiences of every user of two abilities flooded into his mind. His body convulsed on the ground pulsing veins appeared on his forehead.
An unknown time later the pain subsided, he sat on the floor in daze he's currently still processing his thoughts properly.
"That's was quite a journey, at least I got more understanding towards my abilities." He said slightly surprised, he already knew some stuff of it and the reason he choose it is due to it's sub ability. Plus this ability is useful incase the system he wants is not able to convert the energy needed for the abilities that he will gain.
"Hey, you finally up, eh? Your soul seems to age for millions of year, maybe due to the experiences and memories that you have." the Skull spoke
And continued "State the system that you want"
Adrienne nodded his head "The system, I want is Ability Picking System"
The skull asked "Elaborate, I don't seem to remember this kind of system"
Adrienne explained, to the skull "The system, is like an Attribute picking system but it only pick up the abilities and not stats"
"That's totally nerfed hard no stat? Denied unless you add physical stats to it" The skull said, with angry tone.
Adrienne helplessly nodded his the reason why he wanted, only the abilities because he wanted some challenge and to entertain the skull.
He suddenly felt it in his soul
[Attribute Picking System Installing in host soul 1%...2%...10%... 30%...50%... 70%...90...100%]
[System successfully installed]
[Please test the system to Identify the problem]
Hearing what the system says, he look around for the test subject. Only him and the skull were there, he swallowed his saliva, he asked the skull "Um... The system said, that I need to test run the system for problem"
The understanding what the skull give its approval, Adrienne nodded and stare at the skull he saw a bubbles surrounding the skull. He saw the ability he wanted, he touched it but it shifted its location, instead he got the ability bubbles.
[Ding! Congratulation host! You gain Amortality]
"Oh Shit!" He exclaimed, The skull was also surprise
"Y-you!" The skull said while stuttering, a dark skeletal hand form pointing at him "You have to go... While I fix this mess I made"
Adrienne understand that, they create a mess, he thought of something since they already created a mess why not increase it, he touched the skeletal arm and replicate her Death Energy.
'Gotcha, although chaos energy is good but I can't easily find it'
Adrienne finally disappeared from the skull domain.
