Well guess what I'm one of the lottery "winners" who will be reincarnating into a fantasy world. Where I will be overpowered, defeat the Demon lord, and be married into royalty with my beautiful partner.

It is the night, the moonlight shines to a small bared window. Inside is a corridor of multiple cell rooms. The cell rooms are all unlocked with no one inside except at the end of the corridor. At the end of the corridor the is a locked cell where the moonlight barely hits.
Inside the damp, dark and humid cell there are 4 children each appearing to be from different age groups. The children are huddled against each other either its to keep each other warm or to supporting each other.
Starting from the left, Is a boy who is bigger and appears to be slightly stronger, however the rags he is wearing shows small slash like tear around his rags and potentially his body. There is a diagonal scar on his face. From all this it is likely from being whipped multiple times.
Beside him is a smaller boy who shivering. he has a boney figure due to being malnourished, and has sunken eyes with a dry mouth from dehydration. His knees and elbows have scabs either from falling or being in tight spaces. He may not have anymore time left.
To the right are to short haired girls appearing to be in similar size hugging each other. Compared to the boys they don't appear to be injured physically. However unlike the boys they both have a iron slave collar, and both of them have one of their feet's chained to each other.
You may be wandering what makes these children special? well I'll tell you that's because these children are nothing than the lottery "winner". which would me the "winner"

Inside a ghastly empty shadow like realm is a white faceless human figure staring at a orb. The orb shows the children and the locked celled room.
'System how long until he dies', A male voice is echoing around the white figure
[Answer 6 hours], A flash text appears around the small boy while viewing from the orb.
'Dammit', tapping on the orb multiple icons begin showing on the orb. Many of the icons are locked with the exception of two. The "Status" and "Market" are the only ones unlocked.
Clicking on the "Market" icon a panel pops up floating above the orb.
'I can never get used to this', dragging the panel to my left away from the orb. 'System recommended me all for the small one' As I give a command the panel shows a hourglass spinning slowly on the panel.

'I'll get Four of each wouldn't want them to fight, and done' as I finish with the purchase the panel shows a pop up smile face and the panel disappears looking back at the orb I begin clicking on all the children. each of them slowly begins to wake up. In one hand there is a potato and in the other a handful of red berries.
