It was morning, class A-1 was loud. Teachers hadn't yet arrive. There were several groups in the class, otakus, athletes, TikTok girls, class presidents, nerds,v7 however, there was one boy sitting alone in a corner, his head bent down at the book he was reading.
Koike Hideki, a loner, not specifically athletic, or anything. A simple man, though he was a bit smart, it was not disclosed to others. Only thing he did in his free time was reading books, whether they be information books, novels, or whatever, he had it, he wasn't a nerd however.
Suddenly, light appeared in the classroom before disappearing and taking the students with it.
...
'Huh?'
'A white room?'
Putting his hand on his forehead, Hideki started remembering what happened.
Glancing around, he concluded, 'I have been Isekai'd!'
Hideki started imagining all sorts of things, elves, beast women, cheat skills, he was drooling at the possibilities.
'I should be in a castle asked to defeat a demon lord or something, why am I in a white room?'
An aged man approached Hideki, he appeared out of nowhere in front of Hideki.
'He must be god!'
The man opened his mouth, "Hello young man, I'm god-" He was cut off by Hideki.
"Where are my cheat skills?" Hideki went straight to the point, wasting no time.
"Here, choose your skills, the faded ones are what were taken already by your classmates" The man said in his ages voice as a window appeared in front of Hideki.
'I see, the others are in the same situation' Hideki grinned as he checked the window, only to find out that everything was faded!
He turned his head to the man, "Is it bugged?"
The man shook his head.
*Boom* An explosion happened in Hideki's mind, every plan he had was completely destroyed, no skills were left. Hideki cursed his classmates under his breath, using very vulgar words.
He still had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, checking every single tab available, even wierd stuff like personality modifications, until finally stopping on one certain tab.
"I apologize young man, but all your friends have already taken the skills. To compensate, I will allow you to transfer a certain power from any fiction you can think off, I will give you the strongest version of the ability"
The man said nervously, he put enough skills in that window for an entire village, not knowing the amount of students he was summoning.
Hideki's highschool was the largest one, each class had over 40 students.
Hideki grinned again, harder than ever. He browsed his entire library of powers and abilities, "One power and one ability".
The man wore a shocked face, "No way! You may choose a powerful power, giving you two is too much!" he exclaimed.
Hideki rolled up his sleeves, 'Time for my bargaining skills to shine!'
...
After alot of arguing, The man settled for one power and one ability, Hideki scrolled through the entire window again.
'Good! Limitless regeneration isn't here!' Hideki grinned again, his grin was so wide it seemed like his face got wider.
Gesturing the number two with his hand, Hideki opened his mouth in an arrogant way, "Alchemy and...." Hideki suddenly hit a bus stop.
"Is three allowed" Hideki said in a low awkward voice.
"NO!" The man shouted, he can not allow for more power!
'Aw man...' Hideki sighed.
"Alchemy and the ability to remember anything just by glancing at it, Like I can remember an entire structure just by taking a simple glimpse and I would never forget it" Hideki said, while giving up regeneration is sad, this ability would help him.
"WAIT NO!" Hideki suddenly remembered.
"Matter Manipulation, the ability to manipulate matter, creating it, manipulating it, and erasing it, however, I need to have the materials for what I want to create, and erasing something, I would need to be able to destroy it with my normal strength," Hideki paused before continuing.
"The ability is the same, remembering anything" It would still come in handy, Hideki could use the ability to learn languages, strategies, or anything easily. Bodies is also included.
Hideki suddenly blacked out, "I hope for the best, Koike Hideki, and now I need to replenish my strength, damn it that boy, he took all my strength for that power. I shouldn't have let a person from his world to think of a power, their entire culture is fiction!" The mab cursed under his breath.
