'talking in his head'

"talking out loud"

[Moves/skills/powers]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Waking up I scratched my head while heading into the shower, it was early morning and the cold made my body shiver. Sitting down on a seat I started to wash myself, sighing as the water hit my face I lost focus. My name is Averell, and currently I just turned 18, after this 'amazing' day my mom kicked me out of the house because ' I'm a lazy piece of shit' or something like that. Honestly she wasn't wrong.

As I was growing up she pushed me almost to the brink, military programs, sports, grades, work, work, work. When she finally stopped pestering my second year of high school I felt as though my body was going to shut down. That is when I found my saving light, the internet, as soon as I got on I became addicted, social media, shows, movies, anime.

It was all fine till I couldn't control myself anymore, I became lazy, in my third year of high school I was skipping classes all together. I no longer went to my military program, I went into a rabbit hole. My mom that used to dictate my everyday tried to do so again but at that time I could give two shits, probably even zero shits, I didn't even care about my life. The body that was sculpted since I was a kid gained fat, I went from 6 foot, 180 pounds of muscle to 5'11'', 250 pounds.

What really hooked me was the anime, manga, manhwa, dc, marvel, fan-fiction, etc. No matter how many shitty reincarnations, cultivation, and isekai stories I read I continued until once I didn't sleep for 3 days and passed out. The interesting thing to me was how much better their lives were than reality, cool powers, drama, emotions, it was the only thing that could give rise to any sort of response in me anymore.

I had no friends, too many extracurricular activities, no free time, too many honor and college classes. They rested all their expectations on me just like they did for my sisters, I knew how they felt, they talked to me when they had emotional breakdowns, saying they wanted to kill themselves. All my sisters left when they turned 17 with their friends leaving me alone. Sometimes I contemplated killing myself as well, maybe I would be reincarnated if I wished hard enough, but I never had the strength.

In just a couple days they would shut me out of internet access, right now I was in an apartment using the money I saved from a side job in high school to buy manga and pay for my subscriptions but soon my savings are gonna be dry. My job isn't gonna be enough to stay here leaving me homeless. I was on track to an academic scholarship just two years ago but now I'm gonna be homeless. I can't get in touch with my sisters as they went off the grid, I don't even know if they're dead.

Rubbing my face with my hands I couldn't help but start laughing. Suddenly I had an epiphany. walking out of the shower eerily calm, I was so focused I forgot to shut it off, heading into the kitchen I grabbed the knife out of the drawer. My hands didn't even tremble but my body felt like it was on fire, adrenaline rushed in my system as I positioned the knife over my chest cavity. Slowly I pushed the knife out before rapidly accelerating it towards my chest.

The dull knife entered me with great resistance but I pushed it forward with greater strength, pulling it out I stabbed myself over and over. Losing control of my body I laid on my back looking up at the sealing, I felt cold yet this searing pain took over the entirety of my chest. With every breath warm liquid spurt from the wounds, it felt as though I was being pricked by thousands of needles.

"Haaa, huuuu, haa, hu"

My chest felt heavy, sucking in I had only one thought 'This is taking pretty long' After 5 minutes but what felt to me like an eternity my vision started to fade.

' Do you want to die'

Hearing something in my head, it repeated again, not even attempting to save myself I just laid motionless 'yes'. Giving into the darkness I thought I had died but I heard the voice again ' If you could live again in a different world would you', the voice sounded like static, less clear than at first but my answer to it was like instinct 'Yes'

'And what price would you be willing to pay'

It got deeper and more sinister but it sounded inviting, listening to it made all my pain fade away. Thinking about it the answer was clear ' Everything'

' HEHeheheheheHaha, I like that answer'

I felt the world around me ripple, opening my eyes the world turned black and white, the pain from my body dispersed yet I could feel the wounds. Getting up a screen popped up in front of me, seeing this I could believe my eyes, I prayed for this, practically got down on my hands and knees every day and wished. " I can't believe it".

[The user was picked by ROB to entertain him, I'm just a system and can in no way interfere in your physical life besides giving information]

[Step one: Appearance]

Two for screens popped up

[Manual]

[Existing]

Picking manual, I chose my appearance as a base, fixing my acne and returning my body to its prime it was that of a ripped gymnast. I chose my prime height and weight as well, making my features sharper I cleaned up my teeth and removed my baby fat. Not changing my long brownish blonde hair I kept the style the same(Cover photo). I mostly just kept it the same with a little touch up here and there that I didn't like.

[ Base achieved]

[Step two: Powers]

[Character templates/powers/items,etc(only one)]

Smiling I stayed up thinking about this day and night, I already had some of the most broken mesh of characters.

[Azathoth]

[Reading character templates: DENIED]

Seeing that I already expected it to happen

[Thought robot]

[Reading template:DENIED]

"ARG"

Going through several more absolutely broken templates they all got denied leaving me with little to go off of "I guess I'll have to break the system a little" I've been out right going to overpowered character template but since they are all getting denied lets play the system a little bit.

[Reincarnate into DCAU Amazo]

[Reading template:... Approved]

"Finally"

Seeing the seal of approval I was too tired to be overjoyed but happy none the less. Rubbing my chin I had a couple of questions before I started " so is there any price for this"

[Everything has a price, your entertainment for an omnipotent god, the chaos you will create is payment for your new life and abilities]

" I'm not complaining just curious, also, why me?"

[Because he pitied you]

"oh..."

Not dwelling on it I knew how pitiful I was and I wouldn't deny it.

"Lets go then"
