"All of a sudden everything's turned black. Is this a dream? Am I dead? I have no idea what's going on, but whatever it is I hope it's not one of those isekai type situations. You know, the ones where the protagonist is reborn in a new world with some sort of ridiculous overpowered ability and everything goes perfectly his way. I'll admit it'd be cool to be reborn into an anime world but I really don't like those types of stories."
"Duly noted, difficulty set to: Hard." A voice said out of nowhere.
"Huh? What was that?" I asked, and suddenly the darkness was illuminated by a display.
"This is the Anime Lottery System, you're going to be reborn into a random anime world with random anime abilities. All of these will be decided by a lottery draw. Are you ready to begin?" The system asked.
"No I'm not ready! Why am I here? Did I die?"
"Oh come on don't be a buzzkill. You're not the type of guy to get caught up on the small details are you? Now man up and let's get started already."
"O-Oh okay." I said, I was still concerned about my current circumstances but for some reason I didn't want the system to think I was a wimp or something.
"Alright to start out we have to select the world you'll be going to. Anime Lottery System, Start!" Suddenly a spinning wheel appeared with the logos of various anime on it. As it spun I wondered which world I would get. There are definitely worlds that would be easier than others, but I'm not too concerned about that. I just hope it's somewhere cool. It'd like to go into one of my favorite anime like Toriko or Saint Seiya, but unfortunately I don't think they're popular enough to get a fanficton.
"Congratulations! You're headed to the world of One Piece!"
"Nice! One Piece is one of my favorite anime. It's a world filled with pirates and adventure and manly romanticism. I'm not a fan of isekai stories but I have to admit I'm getting excited." I thought to myself.
"I'm glad you're finally starting to get fired up!" The system said.
"Wait you heard that?" I asked slightly embarrassed.
"Of course this is all happening inside your mind right now. Obviously I can hear your thoughts. Anyway let's get on to your abilities, to start out you'll get three draws from the Anime Lottery System. You'll receive more draws as you rack up accomplishments, but since you selected Hard difficulty you'll have slimmer chances of receiving a high quality ability."
"That's fine, I'm the type of guy who likes working with what he's got." I said nonchalantly.
"The way ability draws go is the system will select a random anime and then a random ability from that anime, once an ability has been drawn from an anime that anime won't be drawn from again. Do you understand?"
"Yeah so pretty much I can only get one ability from each anime."
"That's exactly right now let's see what your first draw is!" The screen then started to spin again and it stopped on the Jujutsu Kaisen logo. "Alright! We'll now select you an ability from Jujutsu Kaisen! Aaand! Congratulations you've received Maharaga's Adaptation!"
Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime where sorcerers fight cursed spirits using their cursed techniques. One such spirit was Maharaga which had the ability to adapt to any attack used against it. This is actually an overpowered ability as it would make me invulnerable to any attack that I'd received more than once. The drawback here is that unlike Maharaga, I don't have the ability to heal myself. Therefore I'm still going to take damage before I get a chance to adapt, and with how strong some people are in the One Piece universe, I might not even survive past a single attack to begin with. Still this ability is something that could payoff as I get stronger.
"Alright! Now for your second draw! From Kengan Ashura! It's Ohma Tokita's Niko Style martial arts."
I have to admit, I'd expected the system to only give me superpower like abilities so I was a little surprised when it said the martial arts anime Kengan Ashura. I love that series and its martial arts abilities are super cool but it's a little underpowered for the One Piece world. Still hand to hand combat skills are important so I'm still happy with the draw.
"Your final draw for now is from the ninja world of Naruto! It's Kisame Hoshigaki's Samehada! Congratulations! Now since there's no chakra in the world of One Piece the sword will drain stamina instead. But be careful or it'll drain your own stamina!"
Samehada is a sword from Naruto, it's wielded by one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. It is a sword that devours the energy of its user and anyone who is struck by it. It's a volatile weapon it'll definitely take time to master but I'm up for the challenge. My starting abilities aren't the best but they aren't bad either. I'm actually pretty excited to see how far I can go with this skill set.
"Alright! You'll be starting over as a baby and you'll be born one year before Luffy so you'll be a year older than him! Isn't that interesting? Oh well, with our further ado let's send you through!" As soon as the system finished speaking blue lights flashed and I woke up lying in a crib…
