‘Where am I?’

I thought as I wandered through a thick fog until a blue screen appeared before me.

You are in purgatory.

It stated.

‘Then, how do I get out?’

I thought, waiting for the blue screen to show up, again.

You reincarnate.

It stated, again.

‘How do I reincarnate then!?’

I thought.

Ask.

It stated, bluntly.

‘O-oh… I want to reincarnate’

I thought.

Certainly. Would you like to have your class and skill now or later?

It asked.

‘N-now’

I thought.

Rolling Class.

The screen started rolling showing me classes such as:

“Tamer”

“Healer”

“Knight”

“Hero”

“Bard”

“Adventurer”

“Traveler”

“Mage”

“Summoner”

“Necromancer”

What I ended up with was:

“Demon King”

‘Oh… lovely’

I thought sarcastically.

Rolling Skill.

It started to roll again, showing skills such as:

“Swordsmanship”

“Tame”

“Death Aura”

“Enslave”

“Control”

“Appraisal”

“Plant Manipulation”

“Bone Manipulation”

“Blood Magic”

But, it ended with a skill called “Lottery”

‘Lottery… that sounds… useful?’

I thought.

Reincarnating Now.

Randomizing Stats.

Randomizing Name.

Randomizing Body.

That was the last thing I saw, before going unconscious.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

I awoke in the middle of a forest.

“Where… am I?”

I asked nobody in particular as I saw a lake near me, so I looked into it to see…

A beautiful man.

Snowy white hair, red eyes with snake-like slits for pupils, a chiseled face. And, two large horns coming out of my head.

“Holy shit… I’m beautiful”

I said, happily.

I wasn’t really handsome in my previous life.

I wasn’t ugly either, mind you.

I was completely average.

So, when I saw my new body. I was in for an even bigger surprise.

I was around 7’2, had the body of a professional body-builder. Several long red spiraling tattoos on my torso, arms, and neck.

Oh, and I had a tail.

“What should I do?”

I said aloud, as I looked at my surroundings to see even more… trees.

I suggest using your [Status]

“Gah!”

I shouted in shock, as I saw a floating blue screen suddenly appear before me.

“Y-you’re the screen I saw in purgatory, correct?”

I asked.

That is somewhat correct. I am more of a shard of the status. I’m here to guide you through your adventures.

“O-okay… what should I do?”

I asked.

Say [Status] to learn how strong you are, that’s what I suggest.

“Okay. [Status]”

I said as a large blue screen appeared before me.

“W-why is my luck so low?”

I asked.

Your stats were randomized. I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about that. You should be happy that everything else is so high.

“Say… what’s the average stat for everyone else?”

I asked in a curious tone as I walked through the woods.

10 for each stat is the average. That means, you’re above average in every aspect except for luck. You’re considered cursed with a luck like that.

“So… nothing will go my way?”

I asked.

Yes. Nothing will go your way, but you can use that to your advantage, simply think “I hope I die today” and you will instantly live through anything the world throws at you.

“By the way… what’s this world called?”

I asked.

This world is called Valerion, it’s a world of swords, magic, and qi.

“That’s so cool!”

I shouted as my inner-nerd was freaking out.

I’m glad you like it sir, now. Let’s find civilization.

The status said.

“Okay, let’s go!”

I shouted enthusiastically.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

It’s night.

I’m lost.

There’s a pack of wolves around me.

Help, please.

Use your lottery skill, you could get lucky.

The status said.

“Okay… [Lottery]!”

I shouted.

Rolling.

Words passed by quickly, but I caught a glance of some:

“Excalibur”

“Blood Magic”

“Stick”

“Baby Duckling”

“Werewolf”

“Iron Shield”

“Steel Knife”

I ended up with… a “Pet Rock”

I am so fucked!
