-----------------------------
Walter's having a real bad day. His normal life's been turned upside down and he finds himself in a situation right out of his nightmares. But Walter's always able to find the good and bad in every situation.
The Good: The human race was judged worthy of Ascension, and can obtain powers beyond comprehension by completing Trials as an Aspirant.
The Bad: The Trials are run by otherworldly abominations who view humanity as little more than amusing playthings.
The Good: Walter's been chosen by the Absolute Luck System and has infiltrated the Trials as a Lord Arbiter.
The Really Bad: Now he has to balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and Walter's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is.
Follow our unfortunate protagonist as he navigates this double life using his wits, smarts, and a little luck, and maybe he can survive long enough to become an Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune.

This story has a pretty good background and premise with how the MCU has to use the importance placed on his position to his advantage with the help of his system.
The mc basically has to bullsh*t his way through conversations with Eldritch beings (that believe he's one too) to to get boosts in power and advantages. The only gripe I have with this is that the luck system hasn't had much use other than giving him skills and info. He hasn't been given any quests that would help him with the luck aspect of the story.
