I look up at the shadowy figure that stood before me. The figure seems to flicker between many different forms at once. I don't know how I knew he was looking at me, but it was like I could sense it. In front of the figure it feels like there is nothing that was hidden from him. We stood there in silence in a bright white empty room with nothing in it and no exits. After a few minutes longer the shadowy figure finally spoke in a deep calm voice.
"Lucas Soul, I have to say you truly have terrible luck. A tear in space time appearing directly under you. The chances of a tear in space time even forming is almost impossible, and it forming directly under a person has never even happened before. It's actually quite funny." The figure gave a small chuckle. I gave a little frown in confusion as he spoke. A tear in space time? Who is this guy and what is he talking about? I want to ask him, but when I try to open my mouth. I felt a sense of unworthiness when trying to talk to him. A feeling I felt deep in my soul. That I was even lucky to be looking at him. I shouldn't even think about speaking to him. The shadowy figure seemed to notice this.
" I permit you to speak for now. So ask your questions." The shadowy figure said. As soon as the figure said that, I felt I could now speak at least until he told me otherwise, and I have to speak with respect.
" I-I thank you for letting me speak. Be-before I ask other questions, can I know who you are?" I ask in a nervous and respectful voice. I lower my head as I spoke, not daring to look at him directly anymore. I didn't want to do anything that could offend this being.
" My name is not something you can know, But you can think of me as a God. So you can just call me that" The shadowy figure now known as God said in an amused voice.
" Thank you for telling me you know. M-Mr. god if I may ask where am I, and what did you mean by tear in space time?" I asked. God stood there in silence for a second before speaking.
" If I had to put it in a way you could understand. Then the space you find yourself in is a space that I created in between worlds that exist outside of time and space. As for your other question, let's just say that a tear is something that is extremely rare that appears in random universes that leads to a space that is outside of space and time. Like the place that we are in right now. Usually a human would die immediately if they found themselves here. Lucky for you I made this place to save you when I saw you fall in. As for why, it was mostly out of amusement. Like I said a tear appearing directly under someone has never happened." As I hear him say that I didn't know how to feel about my luck. I mean I have always had bad luck, but I didn't think it was that bad. Though I did feel happy and grateful that God saved me and made a space just so that I didn't die. Even if it was just out of amusement.
" W-what happens to me now?" I asked curiously and hesitantly hoping for a good answer. When I asked this I felt God's stare intensify as he was deciding my fate. I felt my heart beat increase and sweat start to form on my forehead. With each second the silence lasted the more nervous I became.
" Usually, I would have never saved you and would have just ignored you, but your bad luck interested me. Since I saved you I don't see the point of just killing you," God said. When he said that I sighed in relief. " But, I won't be able to send you back to the world that you came from. Unless I reincarnate you as a newborn with no memories. That seems boring though. So I will be sending you somewhere else. A world I think that you would like too, and before you ask I won't be telling you anything more of the world than that." God said. I quickly shut my mouth as he said the last sentence. A world I would like? What did that mean? I was going to ask a different question when I felt like I couldn't speak again just like before.
" I'm sure you have more questions, but I'm not going to answer anymore. All you need to know is that you're going into another world that you will like. I'm even going to help you a little and give you a gift when you arrive in your new world. Your gift will give you some more information when you arrive in your new world. Now then good bye." God said as he waved his hand at me and I felt a pull from behind me pulling me out of the space I was in, and my vision went black.
* * *
As I opened my eyes I noticed that I was laying on the ground outside. I looked around and all I saw were trees looming all around. Where was I? Last thing I remember was God saying he was going to send me to another world with some sort of gift. Then I blacked out.
I brought my hand up to rub my eyes and that was when I noticed the size of my hands. They were so small. What the hell is happening? I looked down at the rest of my body and it was the same as my hands. My body got smaller. Why was I smaller? It was like I was back in my body when I was a kid. I haven't seen my face yet, but I have a feeling that I would look younger as well. I sat there for a second trying to get over the fact I was smaller. After a few minutes I finally decided to accept it. Not much I can do about it now, and getting younger isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I slowly stood up from off the ground. I looked around me to try to find something that looked like a gift, but I didn't see anything. Did it not arrive yet or what? As I was thinking about where the gift was, I was startled by a voice that sounded in my head.
[ Starting up…10%...50%…75%...100%]
[Synchronizing system with host. please stand by]
[10%...25%...67%...97%...100%]
[System startup complete. Synchronizing complete. All systems are functional.]
[Hello host, pleasure to meet you. I am The All Encompassing Gacha System. A gift from the being #@$%* or the being you know as God.] I looked around in a hurry trying to find anyone that was near me. I decided to try talking out loud to see what happened.
"Hello? Where are you?" I said out loud. As soon as I said that, a transparent blue panel popped up in front of me.
[ The system does not have a form other than this panel that only you can read. The system exists solely in your head.] The words were written on the panel and spoken to me at the same time.
" So what exactly are you and what do you do?" I asked curiously while eyeing the panel.
[ The system is called The All Encompassing Gacha System. The system is a gift to the host from the being that you know as God. As for what the system can do it is in the name. The system is a gacha. As long as you pay the corresponding price then you can spin to win something from the gacha.]
" Well yes, I guess I should have figured that out from the name. I guess I was so shocked about the voice in my head that I wasn't thinking correctly. So what kind of things can I win from the gacha?" I asked the system.
[ In the roll the host can win a number of items. Many that you would recognize and many that you won't. The Items can be anything from skills, abilities, magic, weapons, armor, and many more. As for the items that you would recognize, that would be because some of the items are from various anime, tv shows, and movies.] I widened my eyes at what I heard. I can get items from shows that I watched before? This was crazy! I was so shaken at what I heard that I sat back down on the ground. I felt my body shiver in excitement, and a huge smile spread across my face.
I started to imagine all sorts of different items that I could get. Depending on where I was I could just one shot everyone from the beginning. At least depending on what I get. Now what kind of price did this system have?
" So what do I have to pay to have a spin, and what are the chances of getting good items?" I asked excitedly.
[ The price is set at 1,000 gold galleons for 1 spin. The chances are common 45%, uncommon 30%, rare 15% epic 7%, legendary 2%, Godly 1%. Please note using ten spins at once will result in a guaranteed rare or above item. Also please note that after 1 year of being in this world the price will increase to 5,000 gold galleons for 1 spin. The first year is discounted for the convenience of the host. ] Gold Galleons? Why would it be gold galleons unless I was.
" System, are we in Harry Potter?" I asked excitedly. Harry Potter was one of my favorite books. If I really was in the book this was going to be exciting. While the universe isn't the safest, it could be a lot worse. Like if I was in the Marvel or DC universe.
[ The host is correct. you are currently in the Harry Potter universe. Please note that is why the host is now a 10 year old boy. Also note that it is the year 1991.] I guess being younger would make sense since I was in the Harry Potter universe. So as long as I get an owl I can start at Hogwarts next year. I would be starting Hogwarts having to deal with a Basilisk, but as long as I'm careful I should be fine.
" System, do I have beginner gifts?" I asked, praying that I do have something for free. Right now I have no money at all, and I have no idea how to make any either.
[ Host is given 1 free spin, and 500 gold galleons from his beginner gift. Please note that the free spin will be something from the Harry Potter universe. Would the host like to spin?] I smiled widely at what I heard. I had a chance to get a great item for free. Even though the chances of that happening weren't that high I still felt excited. Plus with the gold galleons I can at least get a roof over my head. That is as long as I find a wizarding town.
" Go ahead and spin," I said in a nervous voice. When I said those words I felt my heart beat increase. This spin can really help how I go about everything. I just had to hope that I get something decent.
[ Spinning, please stand by.] After staring in silence at the panel before me. The system finally made a sound. [ congratulations to the host for winning the wizard bloodline of Ravenclaw.] my eyes widened in shock. Ravenclaw as in Rowena Ravenclaw! One of the 4 founders of Hogwarts! This really could help me quite a lot. Since I'll be the only one left with that bloodline then I should be able to hopefully become the Lord of the house of Ravenclaw. I was sure that there is nothing left of the house of Ravenclaw, but the name could help by itself.
" System, how would I be classified? A pure-blood, half-blood, or a muggle-born?" I questioned the system. Depending on which one it might help me more.
[Host will be classified as a pureblood. As for the host parents, the being known as God has taken care of their identities. The host's parents are Adam Ravenclaw a descendant of Ravenclaw, and his wife Morgan Black a descendant of the Black family, but was disowned. Please note both parents are dead and died 3 years ago.] So I was related to the Black family. I wonder why Morgan was disowned from the blacks. Even with Morgan being disowned, just being related to them will help I'm sure.
[ Please note now that you have the basic information. The system will no longer speak other than to announce what you win from the gacha. Good luck host] I was stunned when the system said that. So I can't talk to the system anymore now. I mean it didn't really matter too much. The system is straightforward so I shouldn't have a problem with it. I decided to not dwell on it, and move on.
I stood up from the ground, and dusted myself off. I have enough information for now. Now I just need to get out of the middle of the forest. Hopefully I'm somewhat near a town or city.
