This chapter and one more are being released far before the next releases (one today + the Aux and one on Wednesday), just to give an idea about what to expect, the next chapters will be released in a few weeks time, so save this in your library until then.
'Hi there! I'm currently called Leo Shane, you must be thinking Shane, hmmmm, were have I heard that name before, right?'
'Well that's because I died.'
'Wait? You want a better explanation?'
'Fine!'
'Here let me just do this so that you can experience this from my perspective.'
*CRASH* *Bang* *Pop*
'Ok, and away we go!'

"Step right up, step right up!" I hear an annoying voice shouting at me, stirring me from the darkness that my life, or I guess death, had become. I was no longer who I once was, changed by the void my memories remained but my name was gone, I no-longer had an identity it seemed, my body, which I could no longer recall, had turned, much like my face, into a dark writhing mist that vaguely took human form.
I look up at the voice, seeing a Prise wheel faced human looking thing. It was dressed in a purple suit with blue highlights, with a pink shirt and a blue bowtie. It faced towards me in an expectant manner.
"So who are you?" The wheel shifts a little in amusement at my question the notches distorting into something quite like a smile.
"I, my good Lost soul am what you can call a Game Master, I and many of my brethren take souls and use them as ways to create some form of entertainment for other, higher, beings."
"I am currently taking over in place of my good friend who I will oversee your stay in whichever world you land in, now doesn't that seem fun!" "Now then, as I was saying, step right up to the Wheel Of Fate!! where, since I'm being particularly magnanimous I'll let you spin for 5 abilities, apart from spinning for your world."
I stand there, staring at the creature, wondering if lady luck was shining down on me. I step towards a platform, with a giant Prize Wheel, one that shifts and changes visibly, colors and words changing every few seconds.
"Alllriiight! So, first up is the world or universe that you'll be reincarnating as, all you have to do is spin."
My hand grasps one of the the metallic cylinders that stick out intermittently from the contraption. I tense in anticipation and pull down as hard as I can, sending the wheel spinning.
Due to the speed and shifts it was hard to see what was being passed.
Eventually the wheel started to slow and some recognisable names were starting to show up. MHA, The Boys, AOT, JJK, etc...
It slows further, the last few options going along, Danmichi, Bleach, Young Justice, Naruto, DC, Boku No Piko, and finally SlugTerra.
My face goes from panicked to relieved. I could remember SlugTerra, a world that I had known about from my youth, a land beneath normal civilisation in which 'Slugs' tiny creatures that were shot out of specialised guns, were sources of power.
"Great! So the world you'll be going to is SlugTerra, do you have any specifications for were you want to start, along with species and stuff?"
"Yes, I'd like to start on the Surface, be Eli Shane's twin and I'd like to have an Infernus and Tormato to start!"
"Woah, that's a lot of info!"
"Time for your abilities to be spun!"
(I spun for some abilities in a custom made wheel of names with a ton of abilities, most of these are random and then I gave them power classes so that they could either be near their full potential or if they were weak compared to their true potential see the Aux chapter for more details)
Five smaller wheels replace the large one, I grab onto the nearest wheel and spin it, going along the line and doing the same for each of the others.
Each of the powers stopped spinning, landing on their own colors, the first one shined Like gold, the second one in a blueish hue with hints of purple, the third one had a weak purplish glow, the fourth a strong grey color with green hints and the fifth an incredibly weak misty grey.
Above the wheels in their respective colors were displayed their abilities along with some form of ranking.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
"Damn!" the wheel looks at the rewards and jumps in surprise "Those are some really good rewards!" "What did you do to have this much luck, tell me, I don't want to lose in Poker against the others constantly, please!!!"
"Ahem... I mean, nice rewards, some of them are relatively basic and near their final potential but some have mass amounts of potential."
"Oh... I should probably explain the classifications!"
"Ok so Abilities are classed into levels which are
Low level -> Intermediate level -> Advanced level -> Master Level -> Demi-God Level -> God Level -> Existence Level
Each of these levels is then classed in to small sub-sects
Weak -> Medium -> Strong -> Peak
The levels aren't dependant of the power itself but based off of the total potential they have, the lower the starting level, the more they can grow, also, you should know that when reaching Peak at a level it is significantly hard to move it to the next full level."
"Anyhow, that's the explanation, any questions?... None?... Great less work for me!"
"Bye then!" A swirling portal appears behind me, dragging me back until I fall inside of the vortex and my vision fades to Black.
Meanwhile in the Erdrich Realm
"I'm baaack!" A triangle with a top-hat and cane appears, it's yellow in color and has a large eye at it's centre.
"Ah, senior, I did as you asked, he landed in the world of SlugTerra, so I'll be taking my leave now" The wheel rubs the back of its 'head?' and slowly backs away before jumping into a shimmering portal.
"Oh! ok, and Remember! Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!"
