Cherreads

Chapter 1 - (1)

Well...

I wasn't expecting much when I died. Maybe an infinite void in which I would end up going crazy.

Or even Hell itself, I don't know, something with a little more substance or maybe something blander but not this...

What am I refering to?

Well, I'm talking about the literal kaleidoscopic space surrounding me that is full of colors, putting to shame even the most beautiful of rainbows.

This I wasn't expecting.

CLANK...CLINK...CLANK...CLINK...CLANK.

Hhmm? Did I just hear something? No, must be my imagination. Ugh, only a few seconds into this place and I'm already going bonkers.

CLANK..CLINK..CLANK..CLINK..CLANK.

...

Now I swear that I just heard something. I'm really losing my mind, ain't I?

CLANK.CLINK.CLANK.CLINK.CLANK.

It sounds like a group of cogs starting to spin after going a very long time without functioning.

[Do you wish to fullfil any unfinished business?]

Suddenly a translucent window appeared out of nowhere in fornt of my face (?). And it was asking me if I wanted to fullfil any unfinished business that I had? Well of course, who wouldn't, I still had some things that I wanted to do but that I never got to even start, either because I never had time or because, ya know, death.

[Do you wish to have a second chance at life]

...

A very tempting offer, as such, I'll go with...

A HUNDRED PERCENT YES!!!

I have way too many regrets to allow myself to continue being like this.

A hundred times, no, a thousand times yes.

[Affirmation. Registering User...]

[Reading Users Karma...]

[Such Karma unrealized]

[Welcome to the Gacha System]

The what now?

...

Shit, and I mean true shit.

My luck with the gacha was and has always been fucking horrendous. Even when I paid within a game to get the best gacha of the highest tier I ended up with a shitty skill full of restrictions. To say that I'm bad at gacha is putting it mildly. Its the same as saying that Englands weather is the best for going on summer vacation.

Ugh.

...

You know what, fuck it, if it wants to give me a gacha then so be it. Either Lady Luck is with me or she ain't.

A Rare Trait!

[Rare - Red Tear]

| Type: Trait |

| Rarity: Rare |

Whenever you are near death your energy output and strength are increased considerably. This effect fades when you are no longer in danger or are healed.

____________________

Well, I mean, its not bad, but the fact I ended up with a trait that only activates when I'm in a near death experience just gives me some bad vibes about the world I might end up in.

____________________

All tickets have been spent, roll to decide your fate.

____________________

Before I could say anythings else I found myself holding in my hand (?) a DnD dice made out of what seemed to be the cosmos itself with pinkish white numbers on each of its faces.

Aaahhh...

...

Ok, I can do this, I've gotten two great rolls and another not so good buts still has its perks. I CAN do this, com'on!

With that I threw the dice onto a black table that had appeared alongside the dice.

It started to spin and continued on for a few seconds before stopping on...

2.

Fuck.

Oh well, goodbye oh cruel world that I've yet to meet.

A Rare Ability!

[Rare - Contract Enforcement]

| Type: Ability |

| Rarity: Rare |

"Beware the Fae"

Allows you to enforce the clauses and conditions of any contract you make. The conditions of the contract must be set while Contract Enforcement is active, with contract enforcement you can forcefully activate the clauses of a contract on your contract and force your target to comply, this however goes both ways.

Or

A Rare Familiar!

[Rare - Cloud Elemental]

| Type: Familiar |

| Rarity: Rare |

A solitary elemental formed in the rainy skies. As an elemental born of the sky, she can conjure and exert control over wind, clouds and lightning.

____________________

I think I'll choose...

The Contract Enforcement. An elemental might indeed be alright but knowing my luck, except for these recent tickets, I might end up in a world in which the familiar might not help me very much.

Alrighty then, go on system, hit me with your worst.

____________________

Is that a no?

Suddenly, some kind of suction force started to pull me...down?, with my consciousness starting to fade the last thing that I saw was the kaleifoscopic space that now was giving me a new chance.

Lets hope that I do not fuck it up. See ya later.
