A young man with dark hair blinked repeatedly as he took in the scenery around him. Wherever he looked, to the farthest reaches of his sight, there was nothing but an immense dark void.
The dazzling stars were mirrored in his eyes, and he felt an indescribable dread amidst the vast emptiness. However, one problem persisted.
"Why the hell am I in the middle of nowhere?"
Hector yelled out in frustration.
"Alright, Hector, think. What's the last thing you remember?"
He shut his eyes tightly, making a desperate attempt to piece together the events that led to this moment.
"I was walking in the park, minding my own business, as usual. I think there was a loud bang. Then everything turned blurry, and I don't remember anything else... Ah! I think I died in an explosion."
Suddenly, the distinct sound of a bell captured his attention.
Ding!

[Does the Host wish to purchase items from the store, or does he prefer to play Gacha?]
"Okay, then. Before anything else, could I please get an explanation of what's happening?"
Hector asks in complete bewilderment.
[The host is currently being reincarnated into the world of One Piece.]
"Umm, no thanks. I would prefer to be sent back, please."
[The Host's request cannot be completed!]
It responds immediately.
"Why?"
He asks, feeling his memories of his past life slowly fading.
[The god governing your past world was devoured by the Outer God of Stars, ending the Host's world for fun.]
"What? Why would they do that?"
He asks, bewildered.
"That guy sounds like a total Dick!"
[The reason is irrelevant. All that matters is that you are currently being reincarnated into the world of One Piece.]
I frown as my memories are no longer intact; everything is a blurry mess. The only thing I can remember clearly is One Piece.
"Alrighty then, drop on me what's the difference between them System?"
[Purchasing an item in the system store will get you exactly what you want, but it will be pricey. Purchase a Gacha ticket gives the Host a chance to get an item that is higher value than what he would purchase for]
"OK then, let me see the prices of the Gacha tickets."
[Gacha ticket prices are at:]

Hector felt over the world in his luck, feeling overconfident he asked the System if he could get any more chances to play Gacha.
System, I know I don't have any more points. But is there any other way that I can get more of those Gacha tickets?

After he ceased playing, Hector's vision blurred, and upon clearing, he found himself in a warzone, an 11-year-old again, clutching a baby lion. Flames illuminated the dark valley, and the clanging of swords orchestrated a symphony of destruction.
A loud crack resounded as a chunk of the mountain broke away and plummeted, crashing into the valley floor.
"Watch out!"
A giant of a man bellowed, snatching Hector to safety.
Mute with awe, Hector observed his surroundings, searching for an escape when set down. His heart sank as he saw a roaring fire growing after devouring the surrounding wildlife.
He retreated behind the giant man who blocked his path, eventually trapped between the giant's leg and the encroaching fire.
Then, the giant struck the air, and as if commanded by the heavens, a massive shockwave extinguished the fire across the island.
As the clouds parted, sunlight flooded the valley, replacing the destructive glow of flames. Hector gazed at the clear blue sky, overwhelmed by the miraculous turn of events.
"Gurarararara... What do you say, boy? Want to become my son."
