1 Chapter 1 (1/2)
”Shit!” Yelled a 30-something-year-old man as he slammed his door shut and walked to the road through his front yard.
”That bitch shits me to tears!” as he walked up the street to the corner store, he couldn't help but rant. He had just been in a flame war with some random keyboard warrior over a fanfiction he had been reading, it was the definition of pathetic!
”If you were transported to a world where the strong made the rules, of course, you would have a harem! Even the City Lord had two wives! The story was full of douche bags that did whatever they wanted and if they didn't get it, they destroyed it! Might as well be King douche bag and live out all your desires! Even some countries on Earth practiced polygamy! Why would you try to keep to Earths standards and be a little pansy bitch as you follow behind Nie Li?” Talking to himself as he crossed the road this dude was all kinds of petty, to be angry over some girl's posts on fanfiction was a bit sad.
Unfortunately, the man failed to look both ways as he crossed the road and was only made aware of his mistake as he heard the almost mocking sound of a truck horn beeping.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a flash of light, the random 30 odd-year-old dude appeared in the room with a fireplace and two comfy looking armchairs, one of which was filled with a white-haired old man that could only be described as regal. His first impression was quickly shattered as the old man opened his mouth.
”Yo! How do you feel? Truck-kun really did a number on you, lolz he even beeped just to see the look on your face!” The not so regal man then proceeded to laugh quite hard.
”Shit! What happened? Where am I? Who are you? People don't say lolz!” The newly arrived man was freaking out and quite naturally, his mouth spat out his immediate thoughts.
”Relax guy, I'm God and you have been summoned to undertake a great mission of utmost urgency, only you can do it! Have a seat.” Said God, stroking this unknown guy's ego and gesturing at the remaining chair.
”Really? Am I really the only one who can do this?” Stammered out the random dude with a mix of hope and pride, while sitting down.
”Lolz, no I had Truck-kun kill you because I'm bored and needed the entertainment!” God laughed as the guy's mouth fell open and his eyes bulged in disbelief! Before he could say anything, God continued on.
”I have been reading the literary works of you mortals and must say I have been surprised with the worlds you create. Quite the imagination, even the fanfiction writers amuse me as they insert themselves into the story to escape from reality. Truly fascinating! But that doesn't compare to the multitude of plebs commenting on them and then getting into arguments over it! And then it hit me, why don't I give these plebs a chance to prove their arguments.” God stopped speaking and stared at said plebe, giving him a chance to comprehend this subpar plot that only trash writers would use.
After a while, the random plebe's mind rebooted and he started processing what God had said. ”Sure, God killed him for the lolz (shit now I'm saying it!) but it has also been one of his biggest fantasies, to be inserted into one of his favorite stories with a cheat system... Wait, do I get a cheat?” He thought to himself, quickly voicing out his worries with frantic haste.
”If I'm to do this, do I get cheat powers? Do I get to choose the world? I want Harry Potter!” he blurted out.
”Naturally you get cheat powers, if I sent you keyboard warriors into this world then you would die too quickly and that would be as entertaining as watching daytime TV. No, I have already made the world, it was the one you were arguing about!” God answered, taking him from excitement at getting powers to crushing his hopes and dreams as ruthlessly as Truck-kun did his body.
The world in question was Tales of Gods and Demons, a world ruled by the strong on the verge of being annihilated by Demon Beasts. But that's not all, there is the Sage-Emperor that has mad skills and can divine who will be a threat to him. He doesn't even need to do anything himself as he as a team of ultimate beasts to follow his orders. Truly a shit place to be thrown into.
The MC, Nie Li, was killed by the Sage-Emperor and was reborn as his 13-year-old self, thanks to a cheat book called The Temporal Demon Spirit Book. The same book Sage-Emperor gets his powers from as he has three of its pages. Who gets a massively cheaty, cheat book and tears out some of the pages to hide in random places?
”Curse Mad Snail, making it difficult for me! On the plus side, I know the story and will get cheat powers. Since I'm already dead I might as well give it a try. Is God just allowed to kill people? Surely there have to be rules about this sort of thing, right? Luckily, I have no real family left to worry about, otherwise, I would be a whole lot more pissed about the situation.” Thought the guy that only now existed to amuse God.
He quietly brainstormed a few questions to clarify his position as God's plaything, hopefully wheedling out some benefits. The regal old man known as God was watching his facial expressions change with a smirk, he was highly amused.
”So... Did you just read my thoughts or do I need to voice them?”
”I could read your thoughts, but then I wouldn't be surprised by the stupid things you will say.” Answered God with a shit-eating grin.
”Ok, so I have some questions if that's alright?”
”Sure, that's half the fun. All I say is the truth but if you don't ask the right question you don't get the right answer!” Replied God, thinking that this was probably the best idea he has had for ages. This idea was turning out to be a good investment!
”Cool beans, so first off, am I the only one ”summoned” to the ToDaG world?”
”No.”
”Can you tell me who they are and who they will be?”
”I could, but that would ruin the fun.” Laughed God.
”Fun? Shit, it's defiantly that bitch from the fanfiction comments. Miss ”I can't believe how immature everyone is”, but who will she be? Has to be Ye Ziyun, no way would she share Nie Li and he only cares about her. But does she even romantically like Nie Li? Dude is ginger but comes with cheat powers and plot armor. Yeah, she will defiantly be aiming for him. Bitch just wait, I will show you ”immature” and ”probably never touched a woman”, shit I'm so mad!” Raged petty dude internally. After he calmed down, he continued with his questions.
”What powers can I get?”
Without even answering God waved his hand and a panel appeared before him with a list of powers. At the top of the panel was the number 10,000 while the list had two options to choose from, Powers and Detrimental.
Choosing Powers, a list of stereotypical abilities and items appeared, the only problem being the cost, the good ones were more than 10,000 points. Only the Systems were from other sources, the rest of the options had to do with the Demon and God world.
1. Appearance
2. Talent
3. Character / Family
4. Equipment
5. Demon Spirits
6. Cultivation Techniques
7. Systems
Checking the Detrimental tab made him curse internally. Things like being unattractive, ugly and fugly only gave 500, 1000 and 2000 respectively. But who wants to be fugly?
1. Appearance
2. Talent
3. Character / Family
4. Vices / Traits
5. Age of Reincarnation
There was a lot of terrible things that could be sacrificed for points but he had to remind himself, this was his new life he was deciding, not a game character! The 3rd and 5th tabs immediately got his attention and after checking them out two things became clear. God wanted them to be the same age as Nie Li and God had made a mistake. The Age of Reincarnation tab only listed one age, baby for a nice 2,500 points! This would give him thirteen years to prepare for the day Nie Li receives his plot armor and dominates Glory city.
The characters and families to pick from in the Detrimental tab only had Sacred Family, commoner and orphan listed. Orphan gave 750 points and commoner 250 points. The real points came from the Sacred Family, as a normal member gave 2000 points and Shen Yue gave 5,000 points! This was a bit much, right? Sure, the family gets wiped out but it should be easy enough to distance himself from the family, plus he would have 13 years to do it.
