Mike looked at the die and was immediately confused at what in God's gracious name he was looking at right now. The dice that was in the cube was completely black. Black as in the night sky type of black. Trying to look around the dice it still had the same shape that made one think that it was following you to stay the same shape. (Side note: The color of true black cannot take on any shape at all and as a result, this dice is going to look the same at any angle no matter how hard you try but feel like a regular dice)
Mike reaches out towards the D20 and he can feel the surface of the die with the different numbers as well. After a few seconds, Mike begins to feel a freezing cold on his fingers, and right before his eyes the die that Mike was holding is melting and sticking onto his fingers.
Startled Mike tries to wipe off the goo but it just sticks on his other hand. Disgusted Mile is scared sh**less as he soon sees that the goo is advancing across his body. Mike struggles but soon gives up as he learns that nothing can slow the goo advance let alone stop it. "I never thought that this is how I would die," he says as he is sitting in a corner of his room sobbing a little at his cursed luck.
Soon after the goo has covered Mike's body completely and he does not say anything just expecting the end. Soon Mike hears something.
'Ding'
Mike opens his eyes (he had closed them as he was expecting this to be the end) and sees a holographic screen in front of him with some text on it.

The text in front of Mike disappears and is now replaced with another holographic display but it was different.

Looking at this amount of information in front of him Mike cannot help but feel slightly depressed as he realized that he probably had worse stats than a regular human would. Eventually, the dark goo that engulfed Mike's body disappears and Mike feels free at last from the inky black void.
'Ding'
Mike looks in front of him and sees that he apparently got some sort of notification.
__________________________
Congratulations Mike you completed the survey with flying colors and have earned a bonus reward from the system.
Reward: Mike Briggs now has access to the once a day 'Spin the Wheel'
__________________________
Suddenly Mike's field of view is taken over by a huge spinning wheel which showcases a lot of different awards on it. The rewards ranged from money to items and to other various stuff. There was also a piece of text in front of the wheel that said in bolded letters 'SPIN'. Shaking his head Mike did not trust the wheel as he felt that it must be some sort of carnival gotcha game to cheat people for their money.
Mike ignored the wheel and it disappeared leaving him with nothing but his room in his vision. Mike was now tired and confused about what in the world just happened to him as he decides to just sleep and pretend nothing had happened.
Climbing into bed after taking off his still wet socks Mike can't help but feel a sense of unease as he tries to fall asleep. When final Mike falls asleep the clatter of a dice can be heard as the die falls to the ground and rolls for a bit before it lands on a 1.
Mike wakes up feeling well-rested and last night only seemed like a bad dream to him. He sits up in bed, yawns, and steps onto grass. 'Wait grass?' Mike looks down and sees his feet on grass.
Mike looks up and sees that he is in a grand plains area with cotton candy looking clouds in the sky above. The grass is short but mike can still see that the wind causes the grass to move giving it the impression that this is a sea of green. Most people would look at the scene with awe, but Mike was scared and confused since he fell asleep in his room and woke up in this place. What's worse is that Mike is still in his pajamas which is not the manliest thing he owns, to say the least.
The pajamas that Mike was wearing was a single piece suit that looked very similar to a teddy bear (As to why the mail delivery guy did not notice it because it was dark and he was more perplexed by how Mike acted with the package). Looking around Mike had no idea where he was or how he got here. That was the case until.
'Ding'
'Mike rolled a natural 1'
'Resulted in a random rift in time and space being opened to another dimension
'Ding'
'New Quest!
Return home: Through a series of unfortunate events you are now lost and stranded on a different planet in who knows where and now you must return home.
Mission Completion Standard: Return back to your home planet E.T.
Rewards: 100,000 exp and 1 very rare item from the wheel [users choice]'
Looking at the notifications only one emotion could be felt by Mike. Pure unbottled rage.
"What do you mean by a series of unfortunate events that is a bunch of bull you did this to me you stupid system! Now I am stranded in God knows where and because of you I am going to miss my gaming session at the Mclarrens house tonight!"
Wanting to hit something the only thing he could hit was his wooden bed which was soon reduced to splinters and other materials.
'Ding'
'User has taken 3 points of damage'
'User has destroyed a bed and earned 2 exp'
Looking at this Mike felt a little better but now there was a terrible feeling of pain on his hands as he used them to destroy the bed. Sign Mike only shook his head and tried to make heads or tails of where he is. "If only I had a map or something"
'Ding'
'The system has now activated the map feature'
"Oh well I guess this an ask and you shall receive thing"
Mike then thinks back to last night and the wheel that he never spun.
"Uh... system open up the reward wheel please"
As soon as he says that a massive wheel appears in front of Mike with the same bolded text 'SPIN' in front of it. Mike looks at the wheel and the potential stuff he could get before looking back down at the button.
"Spin!"
When Mike shouts out the word the giant wheel moves counterclockwise slowly. Then as if struck by lightning the wheel explodes in a burst of speed and goes clockwise rapidly. The wheel spins while Mike only feels apprehension like someone on a TV show who could get something great or something terrible from the wheel. The wheel soon begins to slow down and now whatever Mike was about to get would be up to fate or luck.
Eventually, the wheel was moving slowly that it soon stopped on a crystal. Mike was apprehensive about what he would get and when he heard the 'Ding' of the notification bell.
'User has spun the Wheel of Rewards and obtained a skill crystal which has been put into the user's inventory'
"Inventory? This thing doesn't have pockets"
Contemplating Mike realizes that it is probably similar to a video game inventory system like that of the very few video games he played.
"System open my inventory"
When Mike says that some 2d boxes appear in front of Mike's vision. There were 20 boxes in a 5x4 formation and one of them had a blue crystal in them and when Mike wanted to see what it did it appeared in his hand. While in his hand a description appeared of the skill crystal in front of it.
Looking at the crystal's description Mike was dumbfounded at what he was reading.
"Did I just hit the motherload?!"
