I decided to write this so that I could think, this story mostly contains a slice of life genre as it's easy to write since it's my expertise.
I'll add a bit of an action if I find it needed in the plot, but this is mostly a slice of life, and I'm going to add a crossover in this one, not too massive to the point I get confused.
The anime I'm going to use in this fanfic are mostly slice of life, not DxD or anything that has a complicated background like Toaru.
Without further ado, let's start.
—
It's been almost a decade since I've arrived at this world for no apparent reason, it just happened one day.
As far as I'm concerned I'm pretty sure I didn't die or else I would have remembered, but it wasn't really the case since I could clearly remember the day I transmigrated into this alternative earth.
I was masturbating and was about to ejaculate, but then this happened…
My theory is, I might have reached enlightenment and somehow transmigrated because the last thing I remember after transmigrating in this body was core bending ecstasy.
If I were to say, it was like I reached nirvana for a moment, aside from that I'm living quite well in this world.
Better than my previous life in fact, at least my parents aren't as poor as my previous one. In this life I'm part of a middle-class family who could afford a bit more luxury than most.
Since my parents are both public servants, I have little worry in shelter, food and education thanks to my parents effort.
So I'm definitely lucky this time around and won't waste this chance, as I considered this as a second chance in life.
While I might not be old before I transmigrated, I was still nearing my late twenties and didn't have too many work options due to the fact that I've dropped out of high school before.
This time around I'm going to change that and go to have a decent job for myself.
I wasn't really asking for much really, is it wrong to live normal?
My life doesn't have to be rainbow and sunshine, or stars colliding.
I just wanted to live a happy life.
—
Speaking of my name, for convenience sake I will use the name that I have here since my previous one was hardly relevant in this world, there was no point in saying it.
Either way, my new name is Makoto Takiya.
As you have noticed it's a Japanese name, while I may have been Asian previously, I wasn't a japanese either.
Still this is a dream come true for me, to be a japanese citizen in the modern era.
There's no way I would want to be a Japanese citizen in world war 1 or 2.
Thinking about the implications of that, yeah there's no way I'd want to be forced into a war, especially in Hiroshima.
I'm quite happy with my situation even if it's not a fantasy like Japan, like from an anime.
It's a bit disappointing though, but it certainly could be worse.
Or at least what I thought before encountering a very important someone.
—
It was in middle school where I met someone who I never thought I'd meet, it was an encounter that I would have never thought of since transmigrating in this world.
Because I thought this world was just a normal alternative earth, that has a slight divergence from my previous one.
But I was wrong, very wrong in fact.
I got used to the fact that this world doesn't have anything special, believing it to be as ordinary as possible.
I mean, you can't blame me for thinking that way, after all I haven't seen anything special or noteworthy going on after transmigrating into this world.
No super powers, no meeting with fictional characters or anything related to the supernatural.
But I'm glad to be proven wrong because…!
A red-head girl in a ponytail, who has dead-fish eyes was looking in my direction, confused and wary at the way I was looking at her.
"W-what are you looking at…?"
This was an anime world after all!
[ You have unlocked the Gacha ]
[ Requirement - Meeting a Protagonist Character ]
[ Special Bonus For Unlocking The Gacha - 1 Special Gacha Ticket ]
[ Meeting Kobayashi Aika - 1 Rare Gacha Ticket ]

Meeting her that day definitely made a bad impression, but I couldn't care less at the moment because I was too excited to act properly at the moment.
To find out that this world isn't just an alternative earth, but an anime world that I'm quite familiar with!
Why wouldn't I be happy with it?
At the very least I know the world won't go to shit, as this world is a slice of life if the anime was true to its genre.
I went back to my home filled with happiness and excitement.
Looking at myself in the mirror, and thinking.
'No wonder every time I look at the mirror, I see a familiar face…I thought it was just a coincidence, but after seeing Kobayashi..yeah I'm definitely that Makoto Takiya.'
If the world only looked like an anime, I would immediately notice but everything was realistic, no different from my previous life.
Obviously I would make a mistake, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Learning about this world and the fact that I did have powers, although I still don't know what it does but I have a good feeling about it.
However, there is one problem…
"How to open its properties..?"
Should I say 'system' out loud for a screen to put out of I just need to visualize-
[ Please press HERE to Use ]
[ Gacha Ticket - 2 ]
[ 1 Special Ticket, 1 Rare Ticket ]
Oh, that certainly answers my question. So I just have to visualize it, how convenient.
Certainly not complaining, because it would be quite embarrassing to say 'system!' in public.
Anyway, I'm going to try using the special ticket to see what I get.
Seeing that it's graded special, what I would get is bound to be good, or at least I'm hoping it would be.
I pressed the digital screen in front of me, and a short animation of a gacha machine shaking was shown in front.
It looked quite silly, and after a few moments, a capsule came out from the animated machine that says.
[ Press to open what's inside! ]
Per instruction, I did.
[ Innate Talent : Hyperthymesia (Grade: Special) ]
Suddenly my mind blanked, everything from my past, and the things I have seen personally became crystal clear.
I could remember everything, down to the last detail, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that I could remember how many hairs I have in my skin, how many people I've met in total and how many words I've read.
It was so ridiculous and mind blowing.
"What the fuck..!"
It was so fascinating and creepy at the same time, there's something that I would like to forget but couldn't.
Just by having this innate talent, I realized that ignorance was a blessing sometimes.
Everything in my memories is in 4K HD. I can't forget anything anymore.
Is this what Shiro from No Game No Life felt?
This is ridiculous, to think a person could have a condition like this, I certainly wouldn't forget anything now.
However despite having hyperthymesia, I noticed that there are still things that are incomprehensible to me, which is understandable as the gacha only gave me the ability to recall and visualize my memories in an extremely clear detail.
But not to comprehend or understand.
Certainly, tests are going to be a cake walk now that I have this ability.
Since I will never be able to forget what I see from now on.
Anyway, now that I've gotten a 'taste' of what the gacha could offer me, it's quite obvious what my next action is going to be.
No, I did not think at all. Like could this be my last ticket, or is it even possible to get another one?
Right now, it doesn't matter. My mind was filled with the urge to roll the damn thing.
I pressed the gacha once more and this time, it didn't give me talent but knowledge.
[ Expert Knowledge : Programming C and C++ (Grade: Rare) ]
At first I didn't really feel anything, a second later, a decades worth of information was loaded directly into my brain, and it wasn't enough to process it.
Which directly made me blank out and lose unconscious at the enormous amount of info my brain is currently processing.
Normally injecting this massive amount of knowledge in a short amount of time could be dangerous, but thanks to the gacha assistance the worse won't come.
At the very least, the host would have a massive headache after processing all knowledge.
—
I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I felt was a massive headache, it felt like my head was going to split any moment now.
Not to mention, my stomach is rumbling due to hunger.
I thought in annoyance.
'What time is it anyway?'
With some difficulty, I stood up from the cold hard floor.
I looked at my room's digital clock and saw that it was already 5:00AM.
"Damn, how long was I unconscious?" It didn't take long for me to remember with great detail when I collapsed.
Thanks to my newest talent, recalling has been too easy for me.
"At exactly 6:12 PM…so I skipped dinner and almost slept for 12 hours..?" It wasn't really that surprising considering the amount of knowledge that I have in my brain right now.
No wonder it takes more than a half a year just to learn the basics of C++ language, because it's friggin complicated as hell.
No normal person would dare to even learn something as complex as computer language.
But I did, through an unusual way. But now I know how programming works, I could totally make a game by myself without too much hassle.
However, the problem is there aren't too many applications that could help me generate models for players and npc.
It's early 2000's so it's understandable, but who says I can't create one myself? Sure it will take time but…I could make it happen.
But I'll postpone it for now, I've got to prepare for today's school.
And also to clear some misunderstanding toward Kobayashi, cause I definitely didn't want her hating me.
The plan for today is to find her and explain the misunderstanding, eventually befriending her.

A/N: A decent start I suppose, alright here's the rule of this fanfic, the gacha won't give him anything too powerful, like becoming omnipotent in one go.
Also the gacha has specific rules of how to obtain a gacha ticket, for example meeting an important character, a protagonist type or main antagonist type.
There are also other ways to obtain them, but I won't mention them for now, since this story will slowly reveal how.
The grade list of the gacha consists of.
Common, Rare, Special, Unique, Legendary and Mythical.
From common to special, is achievable by non magical folks and beyond lies the supernatural.
