NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Addiction but different.
As the hellspawn was calling it's husband, I was wondering what was going to happen now. Sure I already know the gist of it. I will spin a wheel which will decide my future and then get reincarnated but I was worried about how everything would play out.
"Hi honey. Oh you already know? Sure we're on our way."
Obviously the entity had reached its husband and now we were going to go to wherever the husband was. The question was how.
But it was answered quickly by the being, as it just grabbed, lifted and then slung me over it's shoulder like a wet towel. My eyes were shortly covered in white, blinding light. And suddenly we were standing in another throneroom.
The entire floor was covered in a soft smooth and fluffy carpet. And right in front of us was another entity. It was a bit smaller than hellspawn with white fur. There were some markings on its shoulders and forearms but that was it. The white one was sitting on the carpet instead of the throne, which was understandable. The carpet was really soft.
"Hello Mr. Crowley. As my husband already explained to you. You will spin a wheel or several, which will then determine the important things. First, let's spin for your character."
A fortune - wheel appeared out of thin air. It looked majestic and heavy. The world seemed to bend and crack around it.
" Go on, press the button." White-entity said.
I hesitantly go to a button, one that wasn't there before, and press it. Soon the wheel starts to spin.
As it got slower, reaching a visible pace, I could start to see names. And I realized I could totally be fucked over by this wheel.
Names like Kronos, Medusa, Pasiphae and even Octavian were all on it.
Now as it got even slower it seemed like I was going to be... Annabeth Chase. No absolutely not. I hated her guts. And the fanfiction I read about her just made her be worse. I refuse to be her. But to my luck, it passed by and was in no way going to be my future. To my dismay, the wheel landed instead on the main character. One Perseus(Percy) Jackson.
"Congratulations Benjamin Crowley you are now and from here on out Percy Jackson. Now let's continue. Please push it again to see what your race will be when you wake up." "I thought this meant I was going to be a demigod?" I asked in confusion.
"This time it is to determine if you are going to be cannon Percy or your own version of him." and with that answer I did not hesitate to push it.
The wheel in the meantime had changed. Now it showed significantly less options. The Options were the following:
Monster
Demigod
God/Divine
Mortal
Spirit
Hybrid
Looking at them happily spinning around the center of the wheel I already knew two things I didn't want to be. Monster and God/Divine were of the table. One would make me want to eat or hunt children and the other was going to put me in a position I didn't want to be in. I would rather be able to grow and train in my power than to already be op. This time the wheel stopped at Hybrid. "Before you ask, it means you will be several of those options and that you have to spin again to see how many of those options you will be."
I spun again. It landed on 3which meant I was going to be a hybrid of three races. As it turned out, I was going to be a hybrid of Monster/Demigod and Spirit.
This time the wheel spun by itself. It seemed to want to determine what kind of monster I was going to be. It landed on Gorgon(Medusa), which meant, as it was explained by hellspawn, that I too was going to have snake hair and petrefying eyes. The Spirit I was going to be was apparently the Spirit of Fall/Halloween/Samhain/Nightmares.
"Don't laugh just yet. While yes, your identity is now determined. The System has yet to be chosen." said the White one.
This time I was once again allowed to push the button. Systems ran by, some being variants of gamer or dungeon-systems. Others were farmer or sex-systems. But at the end the wheel landed on one of the most infuriating systems in existence.
"The Gacha-System"
Why couldn't I just get a normal system. Did it really have to be one that essentially makes me a gambling addict?
"Seems that you had quite a let down. We are sorry but we can't give you any help with this. And not reincarnating you is not an option." Said the White one before he continued "But if hellspawn were to turn the wheel and gift you whatever came of it, there would be nothing I could do to stop them."
When I heard this, I was thankful. Sure I was set to be powerful and maybe even semi-immortal, but that did not mean I was going to be so from the start. Hellspawn had already pushed the button but I couldn't see what was in the wheel as it was not in a language I knew. Once the wheel came to a stop a small orb was placed in my hands by Hellspawn. "I don't know if this will help you on your journey, but we hope that you will atleast enjoy your new existence when you arrive in your world. Also, here a small side note. Since you are primarily a demigod with then the add on of hybrid, you will either be an even more poweful child of Poseidon or might somehow be the child of another divine being as well. And just as an extra, since spirits usually have a fixed amount of power, we connected your concepts to not only your training and experience but also your age." Hellspawn said. Then the White one stood up.
" We hope you are going to have fun in your new live, we really do. But now you have to move along. It's time for your adventure to start."
