Once long long ago lived a young man, his name was Yuki
He had black hair and brown eyes, on his face were glasses while he didn't had anything to be expert at, in other words, a talentless loser
'Yeah that loser is me.' While laying down on bench and looking at random adults at the kid playground running around and playing with fireworks, I sighed, "They're so noisy, are they really shooting at each other like some kind of magicians? What if they will shoot accidentally at somebod-"
While saying that I saw a firework which flied in my direction just directly into my mouth and...
*BOOM*
A bloody mess, my head exploded from inside and became a complete mess which flied in all directions scaring the shit out of people, I looked at that from other perspective and said, "Damn, how unlucky he is to die like that..."
"Wait..." Looking down I I understood that I were flying on top of ground I finally came to realization, "Fuck!"
Hearing screams of people around I flied closer to them and my hand went trough them, "I really died?"
Looking at the scene I cried internally, "I was in my youth, in my 20s and I died as virgin, just by some stupid fireworks!?" sighing I looked at the sky while floating in the sky on top of the city
I guess that's it, my life has ended by just being virgin, while not complaining that I never even touched a woman except for my mother or sister, NEVER
Can you imagine being such loser, I could be even called 000, 0 hugs, 0 kisses, 0 interactions with women... What else could I do? Become a woman myself? I won't step that low
"Man, what I am even thinking about..." Closing my eyes while floating I already accepted my fate, but I heard a voice behind me, "Do you wish to pass to the other world?"
I opened eyes and turned around quickly, "Wha-" I saw a young woman with black hair and kimono sitting on a electricity pole and looking at me with emotionless face. I pointed my finger while looking at her in a surprise, "Who are you? Are you dead too?"
Her eyebrows twitched a bit, "I'm not dead, I am Shinigami, I came from soul society to send lost souls like you to soul society where you can have peace, it is a good place." I saw a sword on her and tilted my head, "Shini...gami? Aren't those some kind of a tales? And soul society... That's..."
She sighed and shrugged, "I don't have much time right now, but I should cleanse hollows in this area." She quickly took out sword and tapped lightly with its hilt on my forehead, she didn't say anything and jumped away quickly that I didn't even could see it with my own eyes
Immediately afterwards I started glowing and my consciousness started fading, "What's happening!?" I started disappearing and not long after I completely disappeared into darkness.
I opened my eyes and I saw streets full of people while they were filled loud and chattering noises, "I don't understand anything, is this soul society?" I looked around and saw houses along the streets in all four directions as if they were endless
Jumping once or twice I sighed, "I can't fly again, it seems that I am like human again, but just dead."
[System has completed downloading]
[Host welcome to the gacha system]
I saw two windows in front of me as well voice in my head, as well some sparkle stickers on them, "System? this is pretty heartwarming." I shrugged, "Only if this was before my death by a mere firework."
[Worry not host, this system allows you to gamble even after death, you can get literally anything, even your life back.]
"Well, this place looks a lot less developed unlike human world, so I guess that would be my goal for now." Looking around I saw a giant tower, coming closer I saw that I was on border of city of lost souls and city that was around that white tower, "What's that, some VIP city or something?"
[Host, that's Seireitei, that's a large city in the center of soul society which serves as the home of the Shinigami and the Noble Houses.]
[Your current location is in the Rukongai, a drifting sprit town where all sent souls from human world come, just like you.]
"You know a lot, I didn't knew you were so useful, system." I stood in awe while looking at the Seireitei where all the Shinigami live, "Amazing, I want to live there too, can I go there?"
[Thanks for compliment, but you cannot, if you would go there then by my calculations. 98.2% that you will die, either guard will kill you or you will be smashed by walls.]
"Walls?" I tilted my head and questioned, "I don't see any though, and how can you be smashed by walls, it's not as if they fall from the sky, right?"
[...]
"Right...?" A sweat droplet went down my face as I saw system's response. I turned around and went into the town, "How are even people living here, it's like survival of the fittest or something?"
[Partially, some districts are pretty normal while some are so bad that you are literally being killed just for existing.]
"It's that bad?" I sat down on bridge while looking at the people walking around, 'Well, it's not that bad if you think about it, I got system which didn't yet reveal its functions and I am still alive... as soul.'
[Ahem, host, let me introduce you the main features of gacha system.]
[First is status, you can see your status according to yourself right now, second is gacha and third is missions. I don't have to explain much about last two I guess. Just think about it and the panel will appear.]
I nodded and thought, 'status' A window appeared in front of me which had some information about me
-[Status panel]-
Name: Yuki Asano (Male)
Race: Soul (20 years old) (Race bonus: none)
Stats: STR 4, VIT 4, INT 5, MANA 6, SPD 5, DEF 3
(Average of soul 5, shinigami 100)

Looking at the stats a sweat dropped down my neck, "On average shinigami are 100 stats each?"
[*nod-nod* That's right, and captains would be around two to three thousands by my guess.]
"Two... to three THOUSANDS?" I almost fell down the bridge and sweated even more, 'What kind of monsters are those captains...'
