《Cultivation Anomaly Type 7A Variation 3Z》Ch. 1 - A Bizarre Rebirth

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE DIED! Calculating Karma. Please Wait. Calculating New World. Please Wait.
He stared at the little blue window before his eyes for a moment, trying to process the statement. Hazy memories of a mugging gone wrong, followed by a painful beating and being stabbed nearly a dozen times by a panicking mugger, slowly filtered into his mind. He groaned. What a stupid way to die. He should have just handed the bastard his money, but noooo. He had to be stubborn about it and make the guy panic.
He sighed and looked around. Interestingly enough, the boxes didn’t remain in the center of his vision, like they had when he’d been focusing on them. Whatever else they were, they were well designed. And far more interesting than the blacker-than-black void around him.
NEW WORLD HAS BEEN CALCULATED! World Type: Cultivation World, Variation I8 World ID: 8R3372U700EI1
How… Engaging.
KARMA HAS BEEN CALCULATED! Karma: 12912 See available options? Yes/No
“Yes?” He said hesitantly. Immediately, a new window appeared.
PERKS/DETRIMENTS SHOP! PERKS! DETRIMENTS! Perk Karma Value Retain Memories -10000 Superior Talent A -10000 Growth System A -10000 Detriment Karma Value Worst Start Ever +50000 Talentless +45000 Demon’s Slave +45000
He blinked at the two columns before him. Then his gaze flickered back to the box about his karma. He focused on it for a moment and, just like he’d hoped, a new box popped up.
KARMA EXPLANATION!
Your Karma value is based on a calculation of all the good and bad things you’ve done in your life, added to all Karma that was unspent during your previous reincarnation.
Old Karma: 3256
New Karma: 9656
See full calculations? Yes/No
He declined. Then a question occurred to him. “Why is reincarnation like, well, this?” To his delight, a new box popped up.

REINCARNATION SYSTEM!
The way each individual experiences reincarnation is different. For every person, it takes on a form that’s easiest for them to understand. For example, the ancient Chinese had a mythology that involved reincarnation, so their process of reincarnation took on that appearance. For you, taking on the appearance of a video game is best.
The system itself was created by thousands of benevolent celestials working together to manipulate the multiverse. This system is a work of art. The absolute peak of what magic is capable of. It is meant to allow people to choose their own punishments and rewards for their next life.
He wondered what is said about him that his reincarnation experience took on the appearance of a video game. A psychologist would probably say something like, “It’s because you can’t handle real life, so you’ve retreated into video games to cope!” Or something like that. But he wasn’t his ass of a brother, so he couldn’t say for sure.
He turned his attention back to the lists of perks and detriments. He tried to crack his knuckles, only to discover that his body was missing. He was just a floating ball of blue-white light. Grumbling, he started going through the lists.
Along the way, the reincarnation system very helpfully provided a notepad and a calculator. He didn’t need food, water, or sleep, so the only thing holding him back was boredom. But his gamer senses were going too haywire for him to be bored. He was being given the chance to optimize his own life!
He had no idea how much time passed. Well, more than minutes. Certainly more than several hours. Maybe even a few days, although he doubted it was more than a week. It was impossible to judge time, so it could have been centuries, for all he knew. But finally, he was ready.

SELECTED PERKS/DETRIMENTS! PERKS! DETRIMENTS! Perk Karma Value Retain Memories -10000 Improvement System B1 -5000 Eye of Insight B12 -3000 Young Master E4 -2500 Detriment Karma Value Enemy of Fate’s Chosen +7500 Random Innate Talent +250
He looked over the list one last time. The first detriment was definitely a dangerous one. But the one bright side of it was that it wasn’t guaranteed to be a truly terrible thing. The way it had been explained was that he would end up doing something that would make a Fate’s Chosen, basically a classic xianxia protagonist, hate his guts. But if he played his cards right, it was completely possible for them to just hate him and move on without doing anything to him instead of having a burning need to kill him.
It was a gamble. One he dearly hoped would pay off. As for the second, that was also a gamble, but a much less important one. Even if he got terrible innate talent, he could use his improvement system to, well, improve himself. And it was entirely possible that he would start off with something amazing. Vanishingly unlikely, but a guy could hope.
He turned his attention to a certain box. One he’d been ignoring until now.
REINCARNATE? Yes/No
Taking a deep breath (or trying to; he couldn’t actually breath and there was no air to breath even if he wanted to), he selected yes.

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
