《Unfortunately This Happened.》Chapter 1: Intro
Advertisement
A die or dice if there's more then one, but I have just one rotating in front of me.
This happened all of a sudden when I prayed for a better life. The die is in the form of a pink diamond glistening from celestial lights shining in the background.
I reach out to touch it, my body feels weightless, as if I am without substance, just existing spiritually. Even though, I still touch the die, then it shines in a powerful light, then a rabbit girl with short pink hair and red eyes takes place where the die was.
In one of those magic show outfits she looks at me with pity. She reaches out to touch my cheek, then says something, but no sound reaches my ears. I just hear a loud wind, but I read her lips, she said that Lady Luck is watching over me.
A bright lights blinds me as I feel my surroundings drift away. My existence fades away from the life I was living. My prayer answered, forgive me everyone for being weak! My family, my friends, you all are a bunch of assholes and one uppers always acting as you are my betters! Farewell, and good riddance!
*****
Lady Luck has granted you passage into a different world from your own.
She has received permission to let you awaken in Ren Marler's body, his soul was eaten by the monster living under his bed.
"Whoa! Wait, what? Wake up where a monster is? How is that lucky!?!"
The monster is full due to eating Ren Marler's soul, and won't be hungry again until a month has passed. Tell a person nearby about the monster, then they will help you.
Lady Luck has granted you a skill of "Roll Die for Death" to help you adjust to your new life, please enjoy the life you prayed for!
The moment the message boxes that appeared in front of my eyes disappeared, I felt my existence being poured into Ren Marler's body. A heavy feeling of sleep still keeping my body sluggish as I jerk away from the bed I was laying on.
I see two red eyes glistening in the dark looking surprised to see me moving away from it. I force Ren's body out the door of the tiny room and yell, "Monster! Help, someone, help me from the monster!"

There is shifting noises behind me as the monsters slowly claws it's puddle-like body towards me. Seriously, it looks like a slime with bloodshot eyeballs staring at me.
Someone rushes to my side and yells for me to stand back. The person uses a staff to slam into the slime-like monster causing it to explode from the force. Strong, how did Ren get eaten by that?
The person, who turns out to be a tall, long blonde haired, thin woman, asks worriedly if I am okay.
I finally take a moment to observe my body, I am in a friggen kids body. The poor guy, no wonder he got eaten. I feel a stinging sensation in my stomach.
"So hungry"
"Ren there's not enough food, we are all eating as little as possible all the time, wait until breakfast to eat. It's going to be oatmeal and milk!"
How is this a better life then what I already had?
These people care about Ren Marler, trust me, this is what you prayed for. Did you forget you were granted a skill? I can show you its details. Just say in your mind the skill name, and inquire about its details.
Worth a shot, divine voice inside my head showing itself through message boxes in front my eyes, thank you!

I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now.
*****
I overheard my saviour reporting the incident last night. I learned her name is Petra from her talking to the other caretakers of the orphanage. Also, I am now an orphan.
Inside the Orphanage, breakfast is being made by my saviour Petra, and several older orphans.
After sleeping beside Petra for about two hours with my stomach growling endlessly, it became time for breakfast.
Petra grumbled as she left the bed, sighed as she told me in a hushed voice, "Time to get breakfast ready!"
Even though she complained, she did it with a smile. Although concern can clearly be seen in her eyes. She's already my favourite person compared to my old family and friends.
If my old family and friends were here instead, they woulda called me "Chipped Stone" useless and incompetent, even though I do things super professionally, such as all the chores for my family and my friends, just so I wouldn't be lonely. Yeah, I am pathetic, but so is the people who abuse me. Sucks being socially awkward.
You do realize you are part of the problem for not standing up for yourself? Have more confidence in yourself Ren! You have a new amazing life as a Soldier of Fortune!
Thanks divine message box, as a "Soldier of Fortune", does that mean I am a mercenary now? I'll save those thoughts for later, right now, I am starving!
*****
After eating, Petra gets me to wash dishes with her. She asks, if the slime left any damages to my soul. Also, do I feel different, am I really still Ren.
I tell her not to worry, as far as I know, I am Ren Marler, little starving orphan boy.
+1 Intelligence for persuading Petra that you are Ren!
+1 Luck for making Lady Luck happy that you accepted your life as Ren Marler
"Soldier of Fortune"
A soldier of Lady Luck, similar to the Mercenaries, the Soldier of Fortune goes where Luck is highly likely to be involved, such as games of chance, dungeons, escort missions and any place of high activity such as a markets, battlefields, or festivals. In the end, the Soldier of Fortune follows Lady Luck in her whimsical nature. If the Soldier doesn't follow her, the second Die, the Die of Misfortune will be given to the Soldier of Fortune. Then will become the Soldier of Misfortune.
Okay, that helps. Thank you divine message box! Now tell me all the skills I can get from my job! Also, how do I increase my level and skill level?
At level 5 "Skill Lottery" lvl.1
Obtain a random skill; at each increase in skill level, obtain another random skill! Wow!
At level 10 "777 Day" lvl.1
Summon Lady Luck for two minutes to chat with or ask for her help, if she chooses to help; at each level increase Lady Luck stays for an extra minute! Cooldown is once a month, sweet!
At level 20 "The House" lvl.1
Creates a Luck zone that Lady Luck might appear in, as well as everything you do in the zone has a favourable outcome only for you! At each level increase, another person gets to be lucky with you! The House always wins!!!
As for your other question. You increase level by gaining life experience; doing work, hobbies, murdering, and by completing quests!
Thank you divine message box, you gave me more guidance then my parents ever gave me!
You are ignoring the people around you by asking me so much! Ask others to gain better details! Such as, increasing skill level!
Thank you once more! I will figure things out, then become the luckiest person alive, "Ah, hahaha!"
"Ren, I think we need to go see the priest, the slime might've damaged your soul, you are laughing with a crazy look in your eyes while staring at the other orphans."
"I was not laughing at them, I was laughing at myself, please don't misunderstand."
"I stand corrected, we are going right now! Clyde, Jean, handle the rest okay? I'm taking Ren to get looked at!"
"Okay Petra, me and Clyde will get Ren's share for lunch since he's skimping out!"
"My food! There's nothing wrong with me!"

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
