Zev crossed his arms and tapped his foot impatiently.
"So? Where's this wheel?"
The goddess sighed and raised her hand.
A circle of glowing runes appeared mid-air, expanding outward with a soft hum.
Moments later, a massive spinning wheel materialized in front of him. It hovered slightly above the floor, shimmering with light. Dozens of segments blinked in vibrant colors—each labeled with a different race or fate.
Snail.
Elf.
Mage.
Human.
Semi-Demon.
Dolphin.
Warrior.
Semi-Dragon.
And many more.
Zev stared, eyes wide.
'Whoa. That thing looks legit.'
The goddess floated over, arms crossed.
"Spin it when you're ready. Whatever it lands on, that's your next life."
"Got it," Zev said, cracking his knuckles.
He grabbed the wheel's handle with both hands.
'Alright, luck don't fail me now.'
With a grunt, he yanked it hard.
The wheel spun fast, the lights blurring together into a dazzling spiral.
Zev watched, heart racing.
'Come on, come on… give me something cool. Don't you dare give me a snail.'
The wheel began to slow.
Colors separated. Words came into focus.
Snail. Passed.
Elf. Passed.
Dolphin. Passed.
Mage. Passed.
Closer… closer…
Finally, the wheel stopped with a loud chime.
SEMI-DRAGON
Golden letters burst across the center of the wheel. Triumphant music played.
Zev blinked.
'Wait… did that just say…?'
Zev stared at the golden letters flashing on the wheel.
SEMI-DRAGON
He blinked once.
Then twice.
Then a wide, wild grin spread across his face.
"YES! FUCKING YES! HAHAHAHA!"
He jumped in the air, fist pumping like a madman.
"I'M OP! I'M A GODDAMN DRAGON! WOOHOO!"
He spun around in place, arms wide, laughing like an idiot.
"Let's fucking gooooooo!"
The goddess floated nearby, mouth slightly open, eyes wide.
'Holy shit… he actually pulled it,' she thought.
She cleared her throat.
"Um… you do realize that's… very rare."
Zev froze mid-dance and grinned at her.
"I know! That's why I'm celebrating! You saw it! You all saw it! I just fucking won the lottery of reincarnation!"
The goddess shook her head in disbelief.
"This… was not supposed to happen."
Zev struck a pose.
"Well, tough luck for your system, lady. Semi-Dragon, baby! Hell yeah!"
She sighed.
'This idiot is going to cause problems, I can already tell.'
Zev finally calmed down a little, though the grin still refused to leave his face.
He crossed his arms and looked at the goddess.
"But still… I don't think this is fair," he said, frowning.
"I didn't ask to die. And now I have to be some weird Semi-Dragon?"
The goddess blinked.
"Wait… what?"
Zev gestured vaguely at the wheel.
"I mean… wings? Scales? Claws? That's gonna be a pain in the ass. What if I wanted to live a normal life?"
She stared at him, completely dumbfounded.
"You… you do realize that's one of the strongest races in almost every universe, right?"
Zev shrugged.
"Yeah, but still. I was thinking more like… badass human with cheat skills. Or some cool mage. Not some half-lizard freak."
The goddess slapped her forehead.
"I cannot believe this…"
Zev kept going.
"I mean, come on! What if I molt or some shit? And do Semi-Dragons even get to wear normal clothes? I don't wanna walk around looking like a cosplay reject."
The goddess opened her mouth, then closed it again.
"I'm speechless," she finally said.
"You just hit a jackpot with odds most mortals would kill for, and you're whining?"
"Damn right I am!" Zev shot back.
"This whole thing is still bullshit. I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask to die. And now I'm a goddamn Semi-Dragon because your fucking cat knocked me out of a tree!"
He crossed his arms again and looked away dramatically.
"This is discrimination against humans, I swear."
The goddess hovered in silence, staring at him with a look of pure disbelief.
The goddess rubbed her temples, sighing.
"Alright… fine," she said.
"You've complained enough. I'll give you a gift."
Zev's eyes lit up.
"A gift?"
"Yes. Completely random though. You'll have to spin the wheel again."
Zev's grin returned instantly.
"Fuck yeah! Now we're talking!"
The goddess blinked.
"Eh? You're that eager?"
"Damn right I am! Maybe this time I'll get something even cooler."
She narrowed her eyes.
"You do realize it's random, right? Could be anything."
"Exactly! That's why! Bring it on!"
The goddess let out a small shiver.
'Why do I have a really bad feeling about this…'
With a wave of her hand, the wheel reappeared—this time gleaming even brighter.
New labels shimmered on the segments: Minor Blessing, Magic Item, Weird Pet, God's System, Useless Trinket, Divine Coin, and so on.
"Go ahead," the goddess said reluctantly.
Zev cracked his knuckles again.
"Let's do this!"
He grabbed the handle and yanked it hard.
The wheel spun, faster and faster, lights blurring into a blinding spiral.
The goddess held her breath.
'Please not God's System. Anything but God's System.'
Zev watched eagerly.
'Come on, baby. Big money. Big money.'
The wheel began to slow.
Divine Coin. Passed.
Minor Blessing. Passed.
Weird Pet. Passed.
Magic Item. Passed.
Finally, the wheel clicked to a stop.
A loud chime echoed through the room.
CONGRATULATIONS — YOU RECEIVED A GOD'S SYSTEM
Golden letters flashed in the air. Trumpets blared.
Zev stared in disbelief.
Then his grin split wide.
"OH FUCK YEAH! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!"
The goddess just… froze.
"You… WHAT?!"
Zev laughed like a maniac.
"I AM FUCKING UNSTOPPABLE!"
The goddess floated there, eyes wide.
"That had a 0.01% chance!" she blurted.
"You already pulled Semi-Dragon, which was 0.1%! The combined probability is…"
She started calculating.
'0.001 times 0.0001… that's…'
Her eye twitched.
"THAT'S 0.00001%! One in ten million! HOW THE FUCK—?!"
Zev winked at her.
"Guess I'm just lucky."
The goddess looked ready to scream.
The goddess hovered in the air, shaking with frustration.
"You… you fucking… you little…"
Zev stood there grinning, arms wide.
"Hey, not my fault I'm this awesome," he said smugly.
"First Semi-Dragon, now God's System. Admit it, you love it."
The goddess twitched.
"I do NOT love it! Do you even realize what you've done?! You've broken my fucking wheel! It's gonna take weeks to fix this!"
Zev shrugged.
"Sounds like a you problem."
That was it.
The goddess clenched her fists, glowing with golden light.
"Alright, enough of this shit."
A portal began swirling open behind Zev.
"Huh? What's that?" he asked.
"You're done here. Time to reincarnate."
Zev grinned wider.
"Finally! You gonna wish me luck?"
The goddess smirked darkly.
"Go fuck yourself."
Before he could reply, the portal sucked him in with a loud WHOOSH.
Zev's voice echoed faintly as he vanished.
"BEST. REINCARNATION. EVER!"
The goddess floated alone in the now-silent room.
She groaned.
"I swear… if I ever see that bastard again…"
