Hmm... this feels...
It just feels, I don't even know how to describe it or if there is even a way to describe it or if there was even words to even begin to describe what I was feeling let alone what I was seeing. Anyways I'm repeating myself.
If this was a novel this would be the part where I introduce myself, not that I'm not going to do that but because I'm literally just a guy. The average Joe, Bob or what ever my name was. From what I can remember I grew up with a mother, father, and three younger siblings. Got good grades not top class but enough to pass each year without any hiccups.
What else what else...
Really? Nothing??
Hmm it appears that apart from just being an okay student I had nothing going on for me. No motivation for whatever reason.
While other were actually going out into the world getting real life experience, I just never had that drive to better myself and strive for a better living. Its was like everyone else had this invisible pressure constantly telling them to keep moving forward.
I was especially envious of those people that just seem to have everything planned out, so sure of what they wanted to do with their lives.
It was like..
The absence of pressure and the presence of desire. Or the abundance of pressure with the absence of desire.
Its paradoxical but it works for me.
Well thankfully I got my shit together and ended up working in some corporate office doing god knows what. I'm honestly glad I don't remember that part of my life something tells me it was mind numbing work anyways.
All in all I wasn't really angry or frustrated at my state of living, for one I could have been homeless. No I was more of an adapt to a situation kind of guy than spending every waking second to crawl up the mountain that was society. I mean come on that game was already rigged before I was even born.
I do regret not doing SOMETHING, anything at least. At least I'm sure my younger siblings got their heads on straight and won't stress my mother out.
Mom...
Anyways enough about my one dimensional ass backstory back to where I am.
I'm currently what I think is a shapeless white blub of light, weird that I can see myself in the third person but I'm not going to question it, which I'm guessing is my soul.
Oh yeah I'm dead (If you couldn't have guessed by now) I'm 100% positive my original body has long been buried and rotting six feet underground. I have never experience this before, no dream has come close and no drug that I know of could have had this effect on me. Contrary to what people think the space that I'm currently in is not a black void or an endless white space, hell there's not even a hint of those pearly golden gates.
If I were to explain in simple terms...
Have you ever heard about people with a rare mutation in their eyes where they are able to see an extra layer or spectrum of color, think that but you can see an extra hundred or so. Its just more and there is even weird shapes coming in and out of whatever this place is. Everything together just makes for a pretty beautiful scenery, probably the only reason why I'm not panicking for staying here so long.
Also probably the fact that my soul has been fading and merging with the place for a while now.
Now that sounds bad but I much prefer this over going slowly insane in an endless void. Having my ego/ memories slowly being wash away does sound terrifying but if you think about it, if this is the natural course of things if this is what happens after death why waste time being scared. Once I quickly came to that conclusion all my lingering fear faded away.
All I felt was relaxed and at peace with my situation, honestly even if I knew what would have happen I'll still be okay with this outcome.
HA I guess I finally understand what they were saying....
….. If I had another chance....
…. I'll do it.....

…all over again.....
[Detected desire to live once more]
huh??
Entity has formed a weak connection to Chaos
Conditions have been met
New host potentially found
'..... there is no fucking way.' Out of nowhere a black square panel appeared in front of me and started typing out messages.
'I swear to god if this is wha-'
[Do you desire a new Chance at life?]
[YES/NO]
.
.
.
'God fucking damn it.'
Either my novel addiction has rotted my mind so much it started to affect my afterlife or this is actually real.
.
.
.
Yip still there, well if this is how its going to be then it is what it is, can't really complain since I'll just be backtracking on what I said. Taking chances and fortuitous encounter and what not the answer is Yes.
As soon as I thought that the screen changed
Registering New Host...
Initializing…
Calibrating...
The Chaos Gacha is Online!
'because of course its a gacha'
Huh never in my life or unlife did I ever think I will get a system about gambling. I never tested my luck at the game of chance, but than again I never did say no to it. Well I guess its never to late to start my addiction.
'So.. um System? Chaos Gacha? Can you explain your functions?'
You acquired the Chaos Gacha, granting you a new lease on life in another world with its assistance.
The Gacha will decide your fate.
You have acquired 3 Gold Random Gacha tickets
World Transfer will initiate once all tickets have been spent.
Explanation - Starting Tickets: Tickets allow you to roll the corresponding gacha they align with. The Gold Random Gacha Ticket can give you anything ranging from Items, Familiars, Abilities, Skills, and traits that are contained in the Gold rank gacha. Simply prompt mentally to roll a ticket.
Explanation - World Transfer: Once all tickets have been spent, you will begin your new life in a random world across all of reality that the user is aware of. Mostly from works of fiction from their world of origin.
Well that's all I needed to hear.
Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.
In that case.. IT'S TIME TO ROLL THE DICE BABY!!
SPIN THE WHEEL!!
STRAIGHT FLUSH! BET IT ALL ON BLACK! ROLL! ROLL! ROLL!
Rolling Gold Random Gacha Ticket...
A Rare Trait!
[Heroes Reward]
|Rare Trait|
Every Hero deserves, that whenever you save someone, they will feel very indebted to you and feel compelled to repay you.
Hmm pretty good pretty good, at least I know for certain that I won't be a villain. Wait It doesn't say it can't work against villainous people. Oh well, on to the next.
I am starting to understand why people like this.
Rolling Gold Random Gacha Ticket...
An Elite Trait!
[Mithril Skeleton]
|Elite Trait|
Your skeleton is unusually durable, being able to take a lot of punishment before it suffers damage. In addition, it is flexible and conducts energy better. Note that your skeleton isn't real mithril and scales with your physical stats.
Damn
Two for two on good traits maybe I should have started gambling sooner. Could have been what I was missing in life.
Last roll lets make it count. Lady luck if you are real just know that it'll be pretty chill if you bless this final roll.
Rolling Gold Random Gacha Ticket...
A Rare Ability!
[Shock Absorption]
|Rare Ability| |Class: Passive|
Your body absorbs kinetic energy like a sponge, reducing the effectiveness of physical attacks against you.
I think its fair to say that I have lady luck in the bag, got her on lock.
But holy shit that's pretty good, combined with **[Mithril Skeleton]** I'm pretty goddamn durable, I wonder if I can jump of a building and walk it off like nothing happened. Okay sure probably not immediately but I can train myself to that level.
Hell I think I can tank a truck now.
.
.
.
'hey wait a sec-'
Your fate has been decided.
Starting World Transfer...
Enjoy your new lease on Life Erik
I didn't notice that there was a faint voice when the last line appeared, that's because two things were happening at once.
One, I felt my soul being transported an infinite amount of distance away.
And two, my mind started being filled with all the memories that were washed away by the chaos.
Oh and also my last thought was
'DAMN YOU TRUCK-KUN!!!'
A/N: Damn truck-kun got another one. But hey new writer, first webnovel, and its a reincarnation I just had to make a tribute to one of the classics. Talking about that shout out again to Bronz_Deck for making the Chaos Gacha (lowkey ripped off their chaos gacha text from their one piece fic). I'm really enjoying it so far because honestly I don't know how to write fanfics so this is pretty good for being creative and getting new ideas with what you get from the Gacha. So go check it out at chaosgacha.com highly recommend you write something with it (PLEASE I NEED MORE GACHA!1!). But yeah what do you guys think of the chapter was it good, does it need correcting with like the grammar, was it funny? I'm going to be honest I have been writing this chapter only during the night for the past two nights. So I feel like it was a little rushed, also don't know if the humor was a hit or a miss. I need feedback so if you can please leave a comment that would be pretty epic. What are your thoughts on Erik, I know we haven't really seen him interact with anything yet but what are the vibes you all are getting. I won't spoil how his characters arc will go but I will tell you this, I'm going to try and make Erik embody something close to "give a man who has nothing something and he will make it everything."
Also if anyone is reading this before the next chapter try and guess what world Erik is going to go to, you either like it or you hate it. But trust me let me cook, I got plans and I'm going to add my own twist to things
Well see you guys on the next chapter hopefully I can get the word count up to 2k per chapter, and I told myself 10k was light work. (cope)
