After a much needed and relaxing shower, I got dressed in clothes that I definitely didn't buy myself.
This apartment was a bit of an upgrade from my last one.
I sat back down on the couch and looked at the back of my right hand.
At that sigil.
The sigil started to glow with a bright light the same kind I'd seen in the Abyss.
My eyes shut instinctively, but even then, I could still see the light.
After a few minutes, the light finally faded, and I was able to open my eyes again.
What I saw in my vision was a blue screen with words on it:
---
WELCOME PLAYER 001
I am your Template System.
From now on, I will be your companion.
Click "Yes" to begin the synchronization process.
Yes
---
I didn't even get a chance to say no.
With a sigh, I clicked "Yes."
---
Synchronization process beginning
0%... 25%... 60%... 95%... 100%
Synchronization complete
Player has been awarded one free spin
Would you like to use your first spin to draw a template?
Yes / No
---
This is where all my luck went straight to hell.
My shaky hand touched the blue screen and tapped "Yes."
The blue screen transformed into a massive spinning wheel filled with templates
Millions of characters from anime, manga, comics, movies, shows, manhwa, etc.
I took a deep breath and waited for the wheel to slow down.
As it began to decelerate, I could finally start seeing some of the characters:
Dean Winchester from Supernatural, Geralt from The Witcher, Raiden from Mortal Kombat, and more.
Then there were anime characters too
Muzan from Demon Slayer, Hinata from Naruto, etc.
I hoped I'd get someone strong. Someone useful.
I took another deep breath as the wheel started to come to a stop.
It finally landed on...
Anakin Skywalker?
I didn't know that much about him.
I'd seen the movies, and I knew he was the Chosen One.
But still the Force would be very useful.
So, for a first spin? I'd say that was pretty solid.
Maybe my plot armor isn't as weak as I thought.
The wheel faded and turned back into a blue screen.

Player has received Template: Anakin Skywalker
Player's appearance will now be changed.
Beginning appearance transformation...
---
I stared at the screen with a confused look.
"Change my appearance?"
Oh HELL NO.
But before I could protest further, everything went dark.
I passed out.
While Aaron lay unconscious on the couch, the system continued his transformation.
0%... 46%... 55%... 80%... 99%... 100%
When the process finally finished, Aaron slowly began to wake up.
His eyes opened — and he immediately jumped off the couch and ran to the bathroom.
He stood in front of the mirror.
He looked like fucking Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Aaron punched the wall in frustration.
Why was all this happening to him?
What had he done to piss off the heavens this badly?
Then he remembered Althen's words:
> "But you... your soul is special."
"I don't give a damn if my soul's special," he muttered.
"I just want to go back..."
He slowly calmed down and went back to sit on the couch.
He needed to get himself together.
Otherwise, he wasn't going to last long.
The thought of being sent back into the Abyss made him shudder.
He called out to the system in his mind,
And the familiar blue screen appeared before him.

I stared at the blue screen in awe.
So I'm already kinda OP at the start, huh?
That's... helpful.
What threw me off though?
This bastard changed my last name to Skywalker.
Yeah, it sounded cool but I didn't give him permission 😭
No point crying over spilled milk now.
I scanned the rest of the screen until I took it all in.
But my eyes froze on the System Notes.
"What the hell do you mean irreversible changes to my morality?"
Bro I don't want to end up killing younglings like him 😭🙏
I sighed at my entire situation.
I tried to summon my lightsaber clicked on the icon
And just like that, it appeared in my hand.
I smiled.
I HAD A FREAKING LIGHTSABER IN MY HAND AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I jumped off the couch and started hyperventilating.
Deep breaths, Aaron… In and out…
Once I finally calmed down, I gripped the lightsaber hilt tightly with both hands and pressed the button.
A beam of plasma shot out from the hilt, forming the shape of a sword.
It looked like a typical lightsaber,
Kinda weird
BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT LOOKED SO FREAKING COOLLLLL.
I started swinging it through the air, messing around with it like a total nerd.
Bzhuummmm…
Shvuummmmmm…
